Dongahaha, head of the executive branch and ethnic supremacists, who are the darkness of the Church, and number ii… succeeded in keeping the bluetooth alive.
The original aim was to rescue and protect Mr. Catherine, so at the time of his successful rescue from the darkness of the Church, a single purpose could be achieved.
"Ah... dispel"
Mr. Katrine, who was suddenly dispelled, was surprised, but if he was cursed, he would be in trouble again.
I wanted to be honest with you, so I acted immediately.
Now we've accomplished our purpose, and we can do something about it ourselves later... if that's the case, the church wouldn't have been so corrupt.
Dongahaha said the church went corrupt on its own, no matter what it did.
That would not have changed dramatically, even recently, when the Church's reputation was supposedly better.
By analogy, knights like new employees who mistook the company's rating as their rating and were overwhelmed by rumors and unable to control their emotions.
With the sudden disappearance of those who were at the core, priests headed by captainship and healers like the middle management of naïvism who had not been responsible until then.
I don't even say that I've given up growing below… but I've chosen only to retain my authority and power, the archbishops like branch and sales directors and the masters of each healer guild.
And the Pope who can't tighten where he tightens.
If it was true that it was written in Sir Leinster's biography, the reason he created this church would be because of the times of saving lives that could be saved, as in previous lives, and the desire to make such a place as soon as possible.
The thought became the goal of the entire Church, leading to the creation of the Healer's Guild.
I'm sure everyone was looking in the same direction and united up to that point, but we've achieved great goals, and there's no one to determine the guiding principles that follow, and there's been a glitch in our functioning as an organization.
Originally the Pope, or someone in the Archbishop class, would have had to take the helm.
But such people weren't in the center of the church, and even if they were there, they wouldn't have taken it by surprise.
Tissue that has lost its rudder is brittle. The more huge that is......
I guess it is in the current situation that each has set a fragmented goal and has moved on. Objectively, that's the only impression I have.
It's just that big corporations are big corporations, even if they rot, and churches are churches, even if they rot.
Without the church, the survival of the healer's guild would be more difficult, and then there would be a large number of people in need.
It would still be good if there were other church-like organizations that could be replaced.
But there is no such thing in the world, so I can't even crush it.
If the Pope was still in a position to heal people as Virgin, if charismatic figures like Sir Leinster, who could take the helm of the whole thing, had served as Pope, there would have been another (now) different future.
Well, is it just vain to imagine something you don't have right now?
Most of the knights here believed rumors that I had used evil laws to bring down divine punishment.
From me, it's a very nasty thing to do, but I don't know if it feels real to think of the church.
Even for large companies that cause problems, employees at the end of the line often think and act decently and work hard, so their nature is unnecessarily poor.
I decided to take a deep breath and focus on what I needed to do now.
"Master, the Lionels, look at the dongahaha and the demonized knights"
"Oh. Okay."
"Understood."
When the master and Lionel nod, they split up and put together the demonized knights.
"Mr. Lumina and the Maiden of War Saint Knights, gather all the staff at Church Headquarters here."
"... accepted"
Everyone but Lumina snorts along with Lumina's acknowledgement.
"Mr. Garba is bad, but come wash up some of the information from the executive branch. Oh, can Keffin help Mr. Garba, too?
"Okay."
"What should I look into?
"We talked about all those labyrinths already, so it's no longer confidential information, but there's a labyrinth at this church headquarters. It's a labyrinth that was built about fifty years ago, but find out what happened when you abandoned the offensive."
"I get it. Come with someone who knows where the executive branch is."
"Thank you very much. Now, keep the knights in line here. I bring the Pope here. Katrine, follow me. And I want Nadia and Lydia to follow me because I'm having trouble with the rest of the executive branch."
"Okay."
"" Yes ""
I gave instructions to each of them, and Dolan and Paula caught my eye.
"Paula, nice golem. I need Dolan here, too."
"Thank you for the magic stone."
"If anyone breaks out, runs away, I'll catch them with Paula."
"... to the extent that I don't kill you, please"
"Okay."
Paula nodded and started staring at the knights.
I laughed bitterly and began to walk to the Pope.
On the way to the Pope's room, Mr. Catherine has spoken out words of apology.
"Luciel, you saved my life this time. Thanks."
"No, it looks like I was the target of Dongahaha, so it looks like this is the one that got me involved, and I'm sorry. Then, I came to help Mr. Catherine because it was at the request of Mr. Garba, who was greatly grateful. So if you'd like to thank me, I'd like to ask Mr. Garba."
Katrine, who has a lot of uncertainty, and I really don't want to make too many contacts until the situation settles down.
I know it's important to have a conversation socially, but I decided to draw a line and talk.
"Really... And Luciel, you're growing. Holy Attribute Magic has not donated others for a long time, but is now stronger than me, even by force. Maybe more than Lumina..."
Mr. Katrine praises me with a smile, but there is still a troublesome part to it now, so I decided to build some wall by just saying a little bit about my true intentions.
"... I kicked your ass the other day, and I'm sorry. I asked about the situation after I went to Meratoni, so I was wondering if Mr. Catherine had turned to the enemy by then."
"Pfft. When it came to the original, my lack of power caused it. More than that, what are you going to do now?
I'm sure this was the only thing she wanted to hear.
"Let the Pope remain in the papal position, or let him declare his resignation, or let him decide for himself to proceed and leave"
He said, "Get the Pope off his throne! I would never let that happen!
As I have said since I was in battle, when I told the Pope to entrust everything, Mr. Catherine stood before me and made me stop walking.
Nadia and Lydia can't move because of me and Katrine.
"It is the Pope who decides. Besides, the Church will immediately rot if it stays this way, and sooner or later the Church will follow the path of doom. No matter how noble the philosophy is, if you weather it, there is no doctrine there."
Tell him so, and as he passes beside Mr. Catherine, he blocks the road again.
"You also know how much the Pope thinks of people about the Church. And yet you deny the Pope!
"I'm not denying it, I'm just not being paranoid. Surely the Pope is gentle and he must think twice about the Church. I know that, too. But no matter how happy the Pope wishes everyone, who spreads his thoughts in the form of a handover, is at this Church headquarters?
Without a clear vision or measures, nothing is solved when only feelings are spoken of.
I guess Mr. Katrine really knows, too.
Now proceed without being stopped.
I don't know why Mr. Catherine is holding the Pope so far, but I'm sure there's something about it.
But more than that, at a time when it seemed so easy to get the Pope off the papal throne, I thought it was a lot wrong, but I kept it just to think.
When you get to the Pope's room, Estea from the inside? came out and welcomed me in.
"Master Luciel, you have returned to the church."
It wasn't the spirit of darkness, it was usually Estea.
"... oh. He thinks Estea did something he was sorry for letting the church stay and strain him."
"No. I like the Pope, so no problem."
That's what he said and smiled at Estia, feeling sorry for her, and entering the room.
The Pope's room was completely cleaned up, but there was only Mr. Rosa and Estea inside.
"Pope, it's been two days. Can't you see the samurai?
"Luciel, you look fine. Above all. The samurai will be replacing Rosa in the dining room by now. Hmm? Is Katrine with you?"
"Yep. She and the Maiden Saints were about to be executed, so I've helped"
"What do you mean!!
"Luciel, you!!
It was the Pope and Mr. Catherine who voiced surprise at just one word, but there's a good reason I told you the facts this time.
Once the Popes trusted the papalists, they wanted to know the truth that was at stake and to know what action they were going to take.
"Mr. Catherine, I didn't come all this way to lie to the Pope."
"Luciel, you're good, you're good. You saved me. Then why did you almost get executed?
The Pope was pleased that Mr. Catherine was alive, but he seemed more concerned about the cause of the execution.
"Before that, the Pope. Did you talk to the church headquarters and all the healer guilds about me being a sage the other day?
"Uhm. I've spoken to the Archbishops who can talk on the Magic Ball and to the Master of the Healers Guild."
"I've taught you about healers and maids."
Apparently, Mr. Rosa was helping out, too.
"Really? Well, the execution is double espionage charges, but this is because Mr. Catherine was able to dive into the law enforcement department, which is the darkness of the church, alone."
"Katrine?"
"It is unfortunate that in an attempt to dispel the darkness of the Church, the Pope should also not forget to judge Mr. Catherine, who acted alone. Well, it's an act of thinking about the church, so I suppose I can grant you an amnesty..."
…………
Mr. Catherine is very impressed with me, but didn't you consider the risk of double espionage? It's just starting to seem like a lot of unfortunate people.
Did Mr. Garba like that? He decided to explain a series of masterminds to the Pope plainly, as he shed sight of them.
"... I see the mastermind who spreads my rumors"
"What!? Who is it?"
The Pope took a forward leaning position while sitting.
"At the head of the executive branch, Donghahahahaha-led, we are capturing the knights of human supremacy in the Great Training Ground below the bluetooth of the former cleric knight captain"
"Dongahaha..."
A look like it's very incredible, but is there anything you don't associate him with when you hear about the executive branch? While slightly in doubt, he conveys to the Pope the truth spoken from the mouth of Dongahaha as it were.
"Yes, they tried to execute them to lure me. In doing so, we also use demonizing evil methods."
"... Demonization? Not in another country, not in the church."
"Yeah. Actually, demonizing evil laws have been used here and there lately. I didn't expect to be demonized within the church..."
…………
The Pope began to think desperately about something, but before the Pope tripped to the vortex of thought, he tells the truth here.
"We are going to go to the Great Training Ground, and all will be judged by the Pope. Whatever the judgment, let me accept. You can forgive me for everything."
"Mr. Luciel!?
Mr. Katrine speaks out in surprise, but he hasn't said one thing about anything else that he braced, and he just accepts it, and he didn't say he'd be convinced.
"We know that the Pope cares about the Church. It's where Lord Leinster founded it, and it would be very thoughtful for the Pope."
"Luciel......"
"The Pope was just too kind. Too kind. Not really, the boundary with sweetness is gone. I think being nice is great. I have also been saved many times by the Pope's kindness. But kindness and sweetness are different."
Remembering what my master and Lionel told me, it's a take-out for both of us, but I'll make it my own language and tell the Pope.
"Kindness and sweetness?
"Yes. Suppose, for example, the child did something wrong. What will the child's parents do?
"That'll piss you off."
"Yeah. But does that make kids hate and angry?
"You're not. Make him remember bad things, so he can feel bad about bad things in the future."
"Yep. There's the kindness of parents who think about their children's future. But sweetness is about not being angry when you do something bad, and accepting it with tolerance. What happens to the child if that happens?
"... you won't be able to recognize bad things."
"Has the Pope ever been scolded?
"Being scolded... it was a long time ago"
The Pope answered with a laugh with a lonely look somewhere.
"We are not gods. So there will be times when you make mistakes. When you just make a mistake, you have to do something to correct it. I believe the church today is in such a state because it kept doing nothing right and leaving it alone."
"............... you're telling your concubine to judge the dongahaha and the others?
The Pope shudders out in full.
"Yes. It's easy to get them to decide. So it's all up to the Pope to decide here. If you can't really decide, you can talk to someone, but at the end of the day, the Pope is responsible to decide. This has been a lie, as a redemption."
When he heard a shrugged sound, Nadia had stopped Mr. Katrine from trying to pull out his sword, and Lydia had pointed a cane at him.
"Undo it."
I know Mr. Katrine is telling you to revoke your redemption, but I'm not going to revoke it.
Ignore Mr. Catherine and speak to the Pope.
"The Pope is already at the Church headquarters...... no, you know there is no union in the Holy Capital, right?
At that moment, momentarily but surely the Pope's body trembled.
Were you still?
It's weirder that the Pope doesn't notice the disappearance of the junction in the first place.
There is no way that Sir Leinster, a non-standard reincarnator, and the Pope, a child of high elves who has nothing but inheritance in the world, do not remember magic sensing.
Even if demons strike, the Pope has enough magic to protect the Holy City, so there's no question he's good at magic, magic, and manipulation.
There is no way that the Pope can recognize the disappearance of the bond.
That question comes to mind as to why the Pope played incompetence, but I guess he's just afraid that the Pope is too kind but will therefore judge him.
If you think about it, there's no way Lord Leinster, the free man who built Nerdar or Rockford, could force you to break the wings of the daughter of freedom and let her spend time in a birdhouse.
"I pretended not to notice when the junction disappeared, because I would not punish those responsible. Can't you leave the church because if anything happens, you might not be able to protect the church headquarters and the Holy Capital?
I still vividly remember that the Pope felt mysterious when he first met him.
That is why now that the Demons have entered the Church, I felt that the future policies of the Church would be determined by how the Pope would deal with them.
"Let us hear the Pope's will whether he will now set forth a noble philosophy, as he did when the Church was founded, or whether he will continue to corrupt the Church loosely"
I bowed my head deeply.
