“What are you thinking? Your Eminence.”

“It's nothing. ”

“Well... you did well today, too. Archbishop Gernihan will be here shortly. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

I had to make up my mind. Because this was my role.

Hiding yourself and leaving behind what you really want is something that is already familiar to the saint who has been chosen by the light.

The Honorary Cardinal neither suffers from Shiva nor weeps.

Rather, he is delighted and honored to accept his noble role.

Always get up at the same time, pray and finish personal work.

Perform the same boring, repetitive schedule each time and end the day.

‘I have to be quick. ’

There is something I want to do and want to see, but the Honorary Cardinal still has to hide his mind today.

That's what the world wanted from an honorary cardinal. That's... what Benigore wanted from me.

It was my destiny to live an orderly, smiling life for others.

‘I want to go on a trip. ’

I want to go on an adventure. I want to see the amazing and mysterious things with my own eyes and breathe with ordinary people and feel what it's like to be me.

The blue sky is endless, but there is nowhere I can go.

The Son of Light has wings to fly through a vast expanse, but I cannot spread my wings.

I know that's not allowed. I'm used to killing myself and living.

Living for the things I love more than myself is a beautiful thing and a happy thing.

But why? Why is the Son of Light sometimes staring into the sky with his empty eyes?

“Traveling…. ”

- Fuck you, you don't like to travel.

‘Oh, you're spoiling the moment. ’

- You know, the guy who hates adventure and ambition all of a sudden, you know, he's not very persuasive. I hate sleeping in the field because my back is uncomfortable and my legs and shoulders hurt... Have you ever heard of your backpack? You left everything to that pig... All you know how to do is flip a campfire. I don't know if you know how to set up camp.

- Not necessarily.

- My brother has a favorite trip. Safe and luxurious. I hate that I have to clean up every day and dirty things. If it's a little hard, you can't even move on your shoulders... But someone who's cleaner than me is sweating like an adventure. You haven't even walked a few kilometers since Jungyan learned warp magic.

- Can't you just let me immerse myself?

- Because it's too ugly. Oh, my God. Some idiot believes that.

“ ……. ”

- I thought I was working on some nonsense...

- So, you need to focus. And it's not unconvincing. And think about it, sis. I've been rolling around trying to survive. You used to go to dungeons. You can trust this. Coins to be made?

In other words, the little child in the Son of Light wants to see the world.

‘Before I entered the Holy See and was elected by Benigore, I had a clear history of being an adventurer. ’

As long as the realistic performance is supported, a plausible story is completed.

- Look at the distant mountains and shoot empty eyes... especially these days. He's more responsive than I thought.

- Yeah, I'm sure she'll be fine.

- It was awkward at first. I think he was more excited yesterday. I'm showing you data. I'm throwing up heat flushes. I think I've actually been there.

- …….

- She's a little clumsy. I'm enthusiastic. It seems okay to be willing.

- Maybe that's it. Can you guarantee that Templar Jen will take you outside? From his point of view, that's against Benigore.

- It's hard at first. And contradicting Benigore is an expansion. At first, all you have to do is go out for a drink. Increasing the range is also important... At the end of the day, boom.

- Are you sure?

- As planned, we leave for the Holy See within the day.

- Well, I hope it goes as planned. Ah! I'm going back to brushing my teeth. It's nice out there, isn't it?

- It's breathtaking.

- That's good.

The word "communication" ends and is cut off. I'm doing my sister's job, so it's time for me to do mine.

A doll that is terribly familiar with tapping tables comes into view.

“Your Eminence.”

"Long time no see, Archbishop Jennifer. ”

He was one of the priests who had a stubborn personality and genuine respect for the cardinals.

“Wait... I heard you asked me to go out. ”

“Yes, Archbishop Jennifer. ”

“May I... hear what this is about? ”

There's no need to be nervous. We can talk about things that need to be calm.

“As you know... I heard there was a plague. ”

A very accidental, very, very accidental epidemic. As always, it was an event I had to be interested in.

“I heard there are currently priests dispatched. Maybe I can help. Archbishop Gennerhan.”

“ ……. ”

“Sorry, Your Eminence. The Holy See is trying to calm things down with all its might. It's not as big as the Honorary Cardinal thinks... Don't worry about it. Right now, Cardinal Honor, your safety is your first concern... ”

“Archbishop Gennerhan. But…."

“How could I not know the mind of the Honorable Cardinal? But it hasn't been more than a week since the attempted assassination. We are currently doing our best to investigate the incident inside the Holy See… but the situation is still unclear. Honorary Cardinal, going out at a time like this... ”

“But people are suffering. Archbishop Gennerhan.”

“The Holy See has sent reinforcement priests. Your Eminence, they are calming the plague as best they can... You... ”

“Archbishop Gennerhan. Don't think you can fool my eyes. It's an easy plague to soothe. If I can't do it myself... No, I'll go with the Blue Guild. Take me to Pope Basel. I will greet you in person and leave. ”

If you retreat here, the icon of Wango. It's not Archbishop Jennifer. Opening your mouth with a fluttering beard as if you had met my expectations.

“This has already been agreed upon in the Blue Guild. The Blue Guild members, as well as our Benigore Cult, are putting the safety of the Honorary Cardinal first. If you really want to leave, we'll push forward, but you have to think about the real-world issues you have to deal with. Your Eminence.”

Yeah, that's a good point. That's the answer I was looking for.

“We have no choice but to dispatch escorts together as our primary concern for the safety of the Cardinal of Honor. Many paladins, Inquisitors and Priests will accompany you. ”

Of course, it does not mean that you will be accompanied. It sounds like I'm asking you to think in real life.

It costs money to move thousands of paladins and priests, and I have to spend a lot of time preparing.

Safety should be taken care of as much as it moves in the name of the Holy See... It is natural that it can be constrained somewhat.

Maybe we should search for patients with the plague, or keep an eye out for those around us.

Will is not something you can do. I don't know about usual, but it's even more impossible now that you're so focused on attempted assassination.

The crowds will be crowded as the escort troops are crowded, and even more surprising situations should be kept in mind as the crowds are crowded.

Extreme discovery itself may be a problem.

Archbishop Jennifer didn't seem to say all that about me, but she wanted to realize what her intentions were.

“You mean I'm... getting in your way. ”

It's sad.

“Th-that's not it. Your Eminence, how can you say that? I just... I just told you a realistic problem. ”

It's a sad situation. Ahh. How could something so sad happen?

“We will do our best to come up with a solution as soon as possible. One…."

“Yes, I understand what Archbishop Jennifer said. I... I did you a favor. ”

It's important to keep your emotions in check. The Honorary Cardinal once again smiles.

I lift my mouth up on purpose as if I could accept it.

“Never mind what I mean. Archbishop Gennerhan.”

“Dear Cardinal Honor... ”

"No, you can't catch it. Go quickly. '

“Phew... ”

‘No, don't fish. Just go. ’

Fortunately, the one who tightens his lips and lowers his waist comes into view.

Seeing that there was no room for negotiation anymore, the man who kept a stubborn stand made me think he was fine.

Naturally, the Saint of Light was forced to sigh heavily.

An incompetent saint who can do nothing. Although everyone has said that he is the Son of Light, I once again realize that what is contained in him is only a weak man.

It shouldn't be too hard to feel that everything is your fault.

‘It's all my fault. ’

Depressed emotions envelop the body.

The voices coming from outside the door.

“Your Eminence.”

“ ……. ”

“Your Eminence?”

“Tell her I don't want to see her today. ”

“ ……. ”

“No... Can you tell her I'm a little tired... Ugh... ”

Give me a little cry.

“I'm sorry about Templar Jen.... ”

“Yes, I'll tell him. ”

Even though I'm lonely and sad, the Honorary Cardinal doesn't cry... Sometimes I cry when I'm alone.

Oh, no one's gonna heal your wounds.

If I let it sit still, it'll keep spreading.

You're just gonna leave him like this? ’

I'm sure the rumors have already spread. Maybe he was watching. You're choosing this?

You want something from me, Shiva. He's as weak as he gets, but it's worth throwing at him.

Even if it's not your intention, you deserve to come. We don't have the same opportunity now.

Staring at the sky with empty eyes.

Spilling tears.

Big sigh.

Wipe your tears with the back of your hand.

Sad face, one shot.

Send empty eyes again.

And then...

A knock came from the window.

“I'm sorry to be rude. ”

“Jen…. ”

Give it a rest.

“Sir?"

It's also important to send a surprised expression.

“Why don't you take a walk? ”

I can almost see what he meant by that.

"You're a criminal mastermind. Needle thief becomes a thief. ’

As always, the first time is easy.
