Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?

S34 branch point

Following behind the Divine Word Pope, it was the salon that reached it.

There is a nice table in the center with a relaxed sofa to surround it.

When the Pope sat on one of those couches, he urged us to sit face-to-face.

Katia was alert for a moment to sit there, but I let go of my back.

I didn't feel it made sense to be vigilant here, and to be honest, I felt bad and sometimes it was hard to stand.

When I sat directly in front of the pope, in the middle of the couch, Sue sat next to it with her body stuck together.

Just in the position to get in the way of Katya, who's still standing.

When Sue sits there, Katia can't sit.

I thought I'd tell her to sit back on the other side of me, but Katia glanced at Sue for a moment before walking around the back of the couch with Stasta and sitting next to me opposite Sue Sue.

... I feel stuck when I do it.

The Pope's raw and warm gaze is uncomfortable.

The women who had accompanied the Pope so far begin their service as they were.

A good smelling cup of tea was served before us, and a few lightly knocked treats were placed on the table.

When they were finished, they left the room.

Only us and the Pope were left behind.

Try to explore the signs, but no one lurks in the room.

Unless you have a covert ability that exceeds my sensing abilities, which is another story, but at least I'm pretty sure no one is as far as I can see.

Wouldn't that be a little too careless?

"Is that okay? Alone."

"Yeah, I don't mind."

The Pope's sincerity in answering so calmly, I do not know.

What is it?

In front of this guy, I'm restless.

I feel a different kind of bottomlessness than when I met Young Leaf face to face.

It's like having a giant cotton in front of you, in that mood.

It seems easy to burn, but I'm not scared to poke it or slap it.

Even though it seems so brittle, I get the vague impression that it's going to bounce everything back.

"Right. Can you try to appraise me first? So let me prove that I haven't been brainwashed or anything. We're making it visible now, please."

It is supposed to be rude to make an appraisal a person.

This trend is strong, especially among the aristocrats.

When I say that being read status is an invasion of privacy, I can also snort that it is disrespectful.

If you were a pope, you wouldn't let others appraise you.

Is that all you're saying, let's show good faith?

"Now, if you'll excuse me"

In the meantime, I think we should dispel even the slightest suspicion, and attempt the appraisal.

Title

"ruler of moderation," "knower of the circle," "what leads," "king," "savior," "saint,"

What, this?

The Pope's appraisal results were too unexpected.

The low status also means that most of your skills represent non-combatants.

No, I'm still not convinced about that.

Even though he is the head of a supermassive organization called the Word of God, he is not necessarily required to have high combat abilities.

I chose intelligence over force to stand on people.

I guess that was the Pope's way.

But that's just a trivial thing.

What I can't miss are two skills: moderation, and contraindication LV10.

"Contraindications..."

Unexpectedly whine.

In divine discourse, contraindication should in itself be an unacceptable sin to possess.

That can be seen from the fact that Yuri, the same reincarnator as us and candidate for the Virgin, was speaking with blood eyes.

Islam will never tolerate anyone with contraindicated skills.

And so the top of that divine discourse is contraindicated, and it is also possessed of a level kanst state?

What kind of joke is this?

"You can't spread that because you know contraindications. You know that well, don't you?

"What!?

Though taking the body of inquiry, the Pope seemed convinced.

That I'm level 10 in contraindications.

How do you know that?

I set my contraindication to level 10 when I revived Anna in the elves.

There's no way the Pope who's not on the spot can know that, and he hasn't told anyone that I'm contraindicated in the first place, and he can't be leaking because he's been paying close attention.

And yet, how does the Pope know that?

The Pope's grin deepens, either because he hastily made a strange voice.

Huh!

Are you nuts? I am!

Such an attitude, isn't it like the Pope's acknowledgment of the right word!

Now Katia and Sue are staring at me with a surprised look on their face.

... No way, did you get sickled?

"Hehe. Do not make such a face. It would be quicker and more helpful if you knew contraindications, so I just let you make sure. Whether you are in possession of contraindications or not, this one will not do anything to you. That phase passed a long time ago."

As the Pope put it, I can't feel any harm against us.

but I couldn't tell if it was something I could trust.

If you were this strong old man, even if you had hidden your malice beneath that gentle grin, I didn't feel you could spot it in my eyes.

"Contraindications are memories of sin"

The Pope turned off his grin, closed his eyes and spoke quietly.

"The sins we have committed in the past. that record. It's the ones that force you to remember it that are contraindicated. We must redeem that sin."

- Redemption.

Still, blackmail from the contraindications that keep sounding.

Does that mean that the Pope takes it sincerely and acts as it should?

"But people are weak. He is crushed by the consciousness of sin and flees on an easy path before redemption. Even if that would be to erase itself. Believe me, it's easier to leave yourself to the urge to disappear than to suffer for a long time. So I had to make sure they didn't know the contraindications."

Maybe that's true.

I wonder if this discomfort will last forever, and I'm disgusted, too.

He's a reincarnator, not even me, who has nothing to do with the past of this world.

From the people who have actually lived all this time in this world, they may be tougher than me, just not other people.

A contraindication menu has a history of reincarnation.

In my column, there are only blanks.

My last life was spent in a place that wasn't in this world, so I mean, outside of the system, there's no record.

But not the people of this world.

This reincarnation history has all the raw records of the person's past.

A system was born, a record from then on.

How the system was born.

How have I lived since the birth of the system?

We can show them all.

- Redemption.

with that thought.

A record of sin is something I used to say.

I'm also convinced that if they show me that stuff and keep threatening me with redemption, they'll crush me.

In fact, I guess it was because of those people that the Pope jeopardized contraindications and tightened up those with that skill.

To protect that person.

"But I have to remind you someday. Because the liquidation of sin is not over, and the accumulated interest begs even the broken soul to repay it, and bankruptcy is imminent."

With his eyes closed, the Pope turns his face up.

At that time.

"World Quest activated. Stop the devil's plan to sacrifice mankind to prevent the collapse of the world, or cooperate. '

The voice of the divine word I'm used to hearing, echoing directly into my head.

floating at the same time, white hindsight.

"What, because?

Suddenly, I can't keep up with my head.

Turning his gaze toward Katya, Katya also looked difficult with a wrinkle between her eyebrows.

Turn around on the other side and you look like Sue was shuddered, but somewhere convinced.

To see that reaction, apparently I wasn't the only one hearing the word of God right now.

"Has it begun"

And the only pope who remains calm on this occasion whines with a tired voice somewhere.

"What do you mean it started?

"It's time to make a choice."

Unexpectedly asked me, the Pope turns quietly in front of me and opens his eyes.

Barometric pressure.

its pope's, unwavering glance.

I felt like I saw real strength in that old man's, irretrievable will, who was overwhelmingly lower than me in status and had almost no fighting ability.

"We humans (...) have to choose. Can we live with vengeance against the great-great gods? Or perish with repentance for your sins?"

Katia and Sue, who don't know what the contraindications are, aren't talking about it.

Still, do you only know that something is going on, or are you pushed by the impertinent temper of the Pope, to make yourself strong by the tension?

I'm something like that.

"I will fight against the Evil God, at the expense of the God of the Word I worship, in order to keep people alive. That's what the end of divine discourse means."

It was a hell of a declaration, like the heavens and the earth flipping.

"Brave Shrein. Which do you choose? Man or God. Either let it survive"
