Reincarnation Monarch

"... I see, the tomb..."

Gaius asked Darm himself about the most important person in this issue when he induced him well to make a detailed confession about the grave ravage situation.

"By the way, who is that man named Bishop Lennon?

"... Bishop Lennon?... Yeah, well, he's a very devout Zexian anyway. I always pray to God if I have time, and of course I do not pray to the Church. And no matter how hard it may be in the middle of the winter, they don't wear them except for the Zexian robe, and they spend their time wearing sandals at their feet. And he whips his body every day, and makes a dialogue with God by feeling the pain that Zex, the Son of God, has tasted. Honestly, I do not know as many devout believers as this one. I think he's really very good."

Although Gaius had heard that Lennon was a devout Zexian as pre-information, he honestly couldn't forbid surprises because he didn't know it was enough to whip his own body every day.

(I was wondering if Lennon's being a devout Zexian is just an intriguing pose... if that's what Dulm, who should be dealing with every day, says... do you really mean a devout Zexian... so don't change your image a lot...)

"... Really? Bishop Lennon is like a trainer."

"Yeah. I really am... and yet..."

"Yet... I instructed Mr. Dulm to commit acts of blasphemy against God... which means I told him to expose his grave"

"Yes! That's right! Why did that pious Bishop Lennon instruct us to act like that... I have no idea..."

(... there it is... I guess that means Lennon is a pose to be a devout Zexian... after all, no matter what you think, you would normally consider grave revelation a blasphemy against God... or...)

"... Mr. Dalm, I'm going to ask you something, but the act of uncovering a grave is still blasphemy against God, isn't it?

"Of course you are! We're going to expose the coffin that gave us the soul shell that God called us to."

"... soul loose shell... yeah?... Well, maybe the tomb revelation itself isn't blasphemy against God..."

"What!?... Why?

"No, 'cause it's the soul that matters to God, and you don't mean you can't be called to heaven because you don't need flesh? Then whatever it is that opens the coffin where the flesh is delivered, which is the shell of the soul, it doesn't matter to God in particular, does it?

"... no, no... but it's a great blasphemous act against the dead..."

"Yes. I agree. The act of uncovering a grave is undoubtedly blasphemy against the dead. No matter how many soul shells you are, if you are a normal person, there is no good reason for your flesh to vandalize the grave where you sleep in peace. But perhaps Bishop Lennon has no problem if he's not blasphemy against God... didn't you think so?

"I mean, that Bishop Lennon didn't take into account when it comes to blasphemy against the dead?

"Yes, it is. Hopefully it's not blasphemy against God. If that's what he thinks, then there's a point to why Bishop Lennon, who's supposed to be a devout Zexian, instructed us to go to the grave."

"But you see, I... I..."

"That's right. He'll be fine with that. It may not have to be blasphemy against God for him, a devout Zexian, but if he had a sense of normality, he would suffer blasphemy against the dead... yes, like Mr. Dalm"

Gaius finally started grasping Lennon's figure.
