Invincible Saint ~Salaryman, the Path I Walk to Survive in This Other World~
126 What Luciel Wants
Estea and the others were to be taken by Mr. Granhardt, who broke up in front of the magic elevator.
Mr. Catherine followed me, Lionel and the other ex-slaves, and arrived in front of the Pope's room.
Mr. Katrine knocked on the door before telling him what to do.
"I'm Catherine, Pope. Luciel, a Class S healer, has returned, so we have guided you."
I didn't know why Mr. Catherine had called me, but I heard the Pope before I heard it.
"Get in."
Always, when Rin heard his voice, Mr. Catherine opened the Pope's private room door.
"Excuse me."
"Excuse me."
I followed Mr. Catherine into the room, and the Lionels entered the room silently.
There was nothing unusual in the Pope's room, and blindfolded compartments remained in place so that his face could not be seen from the centre.
I decided to wait for the Pope to hear my voice as I thanked him.
"Luciel, it's been a long time. I just can't thank you enough for thinking about how much you've done for the Church over the past year."
"It's an unbearable word. I managed to get over it with the followers behind me, right and left."
"I guess the humility hasn't changed. What good is the reward for rebuilding the Healer Alliance in Yenis and making it rocky?
I went to the Church headquarters this time to report, but almost every report was included in the Pope.
For that reason, it was like visiting here just to ask for a reward.
And I've already decided what I want to ask.
But it was up to the Pope's mood to see if this would pass.
"... then let me not hesitate to say it. I'd like to go to Nerdar, a magical independent city once in the air."
"... why not?
"It has to do with treading the labyrinth before."
I cannot say that the seal of the dragon has anything to do with the Spirit other than the Pope and Mr. Catherine.
Apart from that, it contains my desire to be able to attack from a distance by remembering magic other than Holy Attributes.
"... I can't do it right away, but do you mind?
"Yes, it's not an immediate rush, but I hope you arrange for us to be able to enter the country early"
"... does it also matter that Yenis' labyrinth is getting more active, etc? The demons around you will get stronger... so what are you going to do now?
"Yes, I am thinking about going to Meratoni once and going back to my beginner and working out. When it's over, we'll go back to Dwarf country, retrieve our men's weapons, go to Nerdar if we can't, and go to the Labyrinth City if we can."
"Right. If we can arrange a transfer to Nerdar, we'll be able to travel from the Holy City."
"... does that mean you can only go to Nerdar from the Sacred Capital?
"Only major cities in each country can travel, but it takes time to get approved just like a job change."
"Really... I remembered in the job change that I was ranked a healer the other day. If possible, can I ask you to promote the job this time?
"Whoa! It's boulder Luciel. I didn't expect to elevate the healer that far. Everyone's stuff goes down but good. Can you leave me and Luciel alone now?" Mr. Katrine and the samurai bow their heads and go outside the room.
Lionel and the others looked at me and nodded, and they exited as well.
When the door closed, the Pope descended from the throne and headed this way.
Still beautiful, but somewhere similar to Sir Leinster, he calls out.
"I worship your face and I am delighted to hear it. Thank you very much."
"You look more grown-up than you did a year ago. I know about Yenis, but you're really helping me protect Rockford."
"There's a squire down there, too."
I laugh bitterly and ask for a lecture on promotion.
"Do I need to do something when I'm promoted?
"No. Strongly, by choosing from more than one profession, the one you want to be."
"Can I use healing magic without any problems if I choose another job?
"... there is a risk that it will depend on the job. It can be weaker than it is now. But it doesn't necessarily mean you have to choose another profession, so you don't have to."
"Really? Then please."
"Then sit down and meditate your eyes."
"Yes."
As the Pope tells me, I will wait for the moment with Zazen in place.
Spin the chant when the Pope put his hand on my head, but it was a completely meaningless word.
"... you can open your eyes."
I was called out in about a minute, even though I felt physically.
"So what happened to the promotable profession?
"... there were only spiritual knights. I'm sorry, but will you put me on hold for the moment for the promotion of my profession?
Normally speaking, if you are a spiritual knight, you thought it would be a pleasure because it is definitely a rare vocation, but the Pope did not have the energy to do so until earlier.
I decided to ask him firmly if that was the case even if he didn't.
"... Are you saying that being a Spirit Knight makes Holy Attribute Magic unusable?
"There is no holy attribute in the Spirit, so don't be. I'm just very sorry I expected a wise man, but I want you to give up your promotion of profession"
"... it just hurts to be unable to use healing magic, so I'd like to ask you to stay where you are even as I am"
"Right. Maybe Spirit protection is in the way, but I've heard stories a long time ago that wise men were automatically promoted. There must be some kind of condition."
If you release the dragon and get protection from all the spirits, you might be a wise man... but that wouldn't be enough for any number of lives.
Shouldn't we be thinking about measures in case such a future comes with a future past our heads that won't be able to use healing magic any more than that?
Vaguely, I started to think so.
"If you're in Melatoni, you can just include regular reports once a month. That's when we'll be talking about the progress of the negotiations with Nerdar."
"Okay. Oh, yeah. I'm referring to the five former slaves who started the interview, but the Illimasian Empire is involved, so if we can get anything behind it, please contact us as well."
"Hmm. Okay. Don't push it too hard."
"Ha. We will continue to do our best for the Church with the goal of aging"
"... Luciel, I'm so sorry I let you carry the burden. If there's anything you can do, you can sweeten me up, okay?
"Thank you. I'll sit down. We don't plan on taking that much flashy action from now on, but we'll be the first to talk to you when we need help"
I'll take care of it.
We rarely decided to leave the room with a handshake as we smiled at each other.
The Pope's hand was very comfortable to touch, but it's rude to hold it all the time, too, so I decided to thank him and leave the King's private room.
When I opened the door and went outside, I sighed and decided to distract myself, but the feeling remained intact.
"I'm nervous, Mr. Catherine. What's wrong?
A strange structure could be made of Mr. Catherine, who was bowing his head to plead with Lionel.
It wasn't Mr. Catherine who opened his mouth to the phenomenon in front of him, it was Lionel.
"Dear Luciel, may I accept a mock battle with the Saints?
I held my head when I completely forgot that I was a battle freak who would not betray my expectations and that Mr. Katrine was a battle freak.
But I couldn't refuse the interview, and I had to allow it.
Because Mr. Katrine's eyes were serious.
I'm not going to die, I'm not going to let you die, I had no choice but to admit the simulation.
