"It didn't seem like a big deal."
"Didn't you investigate and say I should go once if something big happened?"
"After receiving the report, it was determined that the paladin alone could solve the problem."
Well, thank goodness.
Once I asked what happened.
"The last time I saw you, it was said that monsters with demonic energy appeared on the outskirts of Isvant, causing harm."
Certainly, the report that Saint Kadia showed me last time had something similar written.
"It was reported that the Crusaders had arrived, and at the beginning they determined it was an intentional attack by the Devil, not a disaster caused by monsters, but the report said that the animals contaminated by seedlings were losing their ability to think and were in a state of frenzy and were coveting blood. It's simple."
In other words, monsters that have gained demonic power are jumping. One of the paladins got a report and went to investigate.
"Isn't that a big deal?"
"This is a big deal, but it can be solved by the Crusader himself. The Crusader can finish the field investigation on his own without even needing to be in charge of this Saint."
"Ah."
Yes, I do.
Just killing contaminated animals is enough for the Crusader alone. Those thugs are experts in destroying, destroying, and exterminating things.
In fact, with this kind of work, you could have an adventurer's party. If it wasn't a contaminated animal, it would have been an adventurer.
In this way, the crusaders of the Church are not only embedded in the Church. Patrol or report within the area of responsibility and investigate. Or make sure there are no pagans and demons while exploring for themselves.
These are the reasons why there is a church branch in every city, and why there are paladins.
"Then you just have to think about it. Is there anything else?"
"There are a few more, but they will be solved right away when the Crusaders or priests arrive. Although the frequency of events has increased since the advent of the daemon gate, it is not in a state where something so serious happens."
No problem.
"Both Paladins and Crusaders were able to solve the problem early because they were empowered. Be proud."
"Uh-huh, I always have. But now, is there anything else you can do about demons hiding in other cities?"
"Not at the moment. Just be vigilant."
Then it's a good thing.
It's hard to kill a demon hiding in a city with a can. I got Hilde's help and I solved it quickly.
However, it was true that demons everywhere in the city were tense. The last Lizardman case involved a demon.
Well, if there's a problem, I'll solve it in the church as I've always done. I can do it all. There is nothing to worry about if there is a city with a church.
When the Saint lit the cigarette, he spoke.
"... Crusaders are very good at getting reported and destroying them, but they are very weak at investigating themselves or uncovering the truth."
"So is that."
"That's why the expectations of Paladin are so great. If the Pope's letter arrives soon, he will be able to go up. Until then, take a good rest."
"Uh-huh, I see."
"Are the Paladin Tokens awarded by the Saint worn well?"
That necklace you got last time.
"It's kicking very well."
I swiped through the branches and showed them. This is more sincere than kicking around when I was a Private.
"Satisfactory. Keep it."
"If you lose this, it's a punishment."
This precious token is the same for soldiers. Something that should never be lost. This necklace is worn all the time except when it is on the bed.
"You will be punished severely. And... I've already told the Pope all about Paladin. When you go up, you'll probably talk about it with a dog."
"Yes?"
Pope of the Bronze Society?
"He's a very convincing man... Well, there's nothing to worry about with Paladin. There will be no problem if you just say what you saw to the Saint. Don't get too nervous when you meet her."
"Is he a strong man? With a crusader feeling?"
If it's a fucking big church, if it's a pope living in a temple in the capital, could it at least be a drag-and-drop like Lord Isvant?
No, I'm not.
Maybe it's higher. The head of a religious gangster like this psycho, who recently served a real god in the streets.
If Lord Isvandt is roughly a division commander, the Pope may be called a division commander. Oh, shit, I'm nervous again. But in the meantime, I've been raising a can while meeting a lot of tall people.
No problem.
"If you're talking about force, you're from Bondi Priesthood, so you won't be extremely strong."
"Then it won't matter."
It's a good thing the muscle is not coming.
Then there is nothing to be burdened with. If you're from a priest... Shit, even the priests here are gangsters, but they're better than paladins.
I'm a little relieved.
"But if you only weigh the total divine power, you can say it's the best in the Church. He is very convincing and absurd. He likes the righteous, he hates the wicked. It's the Pope himself who serves God closest."
Is that really a religious person?
In fact, the head of a church overflowing with pure lunatics can't be a bad person in common. Do you want to see the crusader down there and just move on?
It will never happen.
As soon as it turned out that he was corrupted, I thought he was the same religious man, but all of that was a cocksucker, and I didn't even have enough to rip his head off, so I flipped my eyes and sprayed bubbles into my mouth, and in the late '90s, the paladins were going to perform techno dances, and there would be more than one truck, two trucks, three trucks, ten trucks, and there would be one wheel on Earth in a row.
- Whoo.
The Saint was speaking with smoke.
"... well, the conservative, stiff Saint doesn't like it very much."
"Really? How conservative."
"Maybe you don't like Paladin that much. This is Paladin, the direct superior of Saint Bone, but he's an outsider."
"By the way... Hmph, even if you see my righteous heart, you'll admit it."
"Recognition and dislike are different, Paladin. The Pope is only a human being, so he cannot be completely free of emotion. Still, I'm glad we didn't have much to meet."
As Saint Kadia always says, I am an outsider. Our Saint is a little reformed in nature, reaching out to the outside of the church to solve the problem.
If you are a conservative religious person, no matter what, they do not want to solve it, nor do they want to get help from outside the church.
It seems that the Pope and Saint's thoughts are a little different.
"If I'm good at my job, I think it's useful if I don't like it. Then it could be a little more flexible church, as you think."
"Huh, you're telling me that. You're a good man, Paladin."
Cardia Saint smiled.
"He's a good man, so he's not a pagan, but he's become a paladin."
"So is that."
- Cheeky.
The Saint, who took out one more cigarette, lit it.
"I think I can roll the church a little better if Bone Saint becomes Pope."
"This is a very ambitious Saint. But does it even come back?"
"If you're lucky."
The Catholic Saint is trying to break away from tradition in order to more efficiently solve the world's overflowing problems. I heard the Pope doesn't like that kind of method.
In other words, there is a Saint line and a Pope line, but in the first place, the Pope line is not something I can ride on, so all you have to do is work well under the Saint. My presence would be guaranteed if I were to be so spontaneous.
Who's gonna tighten me up when I'm good at my job?
And if you're so skilled, there's a lot to do.
"I think it would be great if the Saint became Pope. Isn't the status quo going up in an instant?"
"Haha, I guess so. Anyway, Paladin, keep in mind that you will meet the Pope. It would be better to think ahead of time."
"I'll do that."
That's how I came out after talking to Saint Cadia.
Anyway, the Pope... I think I'll be really busy if I go to the capital. Go settle down and say hello to the church people. Once you're done with your foundation, you'll start working in earnest from then on.
It's the busiest time of my life.
"Ah."
But I don't really feel who the real Pope is. I am a righteous man who believes in fusion, and I am also a thousand in personality, but in the end I am a secular man. It is an undeniable truth.
I don't think I really hate secular people... Should I wash my own brains to honor Verde?
I like to make a good impression of saying hello to this king.
It's not a church paladin, it's a Saint's paladin, but it doesn't hurt to hear from the Pope. Besides the Pope, I think there are a lot of people who do whatever they want. Those people, well... they have to go and think about it.
Let's let the wives know everything about today.

The clearing of the house is almost over.
I felt quite comfortable looking at a tidy house, a backpack, and a box. All you have to do is move the luggage.
Of course, things like clothes and necessities and food were out of order. It's not a moving date, but it makes life impossible.
But I'll do that in one day, so I'd rather just keep my clothes clean. Anyway, if you buy a wagon that's bigger than anything else, you won't even have a problem going to the capital.
This is getting desperate.
"Hey, you're rich, too."
- Awkward.
Karin, approaching in a cool attitude, drops her pouch on the table.
"Sister?"
This looks more like a sack than a pocket. Are you sure you put all the money in this? Karin pulls my cheek when it's something he's confident in.
"Open it."
"Yep."
When I loosened the strap of my sack and looked inside, there was a dizzying mix of silver coins and gold coins in the fucking world. I thought the jaw would slip away from that overwhelming total.
"Oh, my God."
How much is all this?
"This is enough because we clean up all the property. Kahhh, I've been making a lot of money."
"Sister? You must have had no money back then. What did you say?"
"There are days when all the property is tied up, and there are days when there is no cash. There aren't a lot of people who carry all this money in cash. They're all tied up."
"No... but it is. That's a lot of money to be embarrassed about. How much?"
Karin, sitting next to me, twists her leg around my shoulder. I leaned back and thought for a moment and said,
"Uh-huh... I think I'm about 90 gold."
Oh, my God.
"That's crazy. You're a total jerk."
"Kahh, that's the guild leader. My sister's been hurting me for a while... no. Yeah, I just made a lot of money. Oh, but I've been writing too much. I don't have any savings."
I decided not to ask her how many years she had been operating. Karin continues to touch my ears and twist his legs to the other side.
"What, you want me to take care of this? Or will your husband take care of it? Honestly, money doesn't mean much to you anymore. Just pick up the bill later."
Such a striking...!
"Uh-huh, my sister. Thank you so much for trying to tear me out, because I don't know the waterfront. Just take care of her. You're the one who made the money in the first place, and I'm a little gulpy."
"It's hard to be a bastard. Your money is your money. Well, we'll have to do that until we get used to the water."
Karin's wealth was worth 90 gold.
More than the cost of that giant Desperate Worm in a barrel...! It was a really unimaginable amount, but my heart didn't explode because I had money too many times.
"Then, sister. Did you pack everything up?"
"I've moved everything I use home. Clothes, knives, and my stuff. I sold everything that was useless."
"So now you feel like you could go with that?"
"Well... I left once, but it's a good place. You don't really worry about me because I have a guy?"
I'm glad to hear that.
