Reincarnation Monarch

Episode 676: Hand Souvenirs

"... we need to remove the Calvin threat in order to get them home safely... but he's mighty... he's still good at keeping the Pope on his side... Shester, Calvin and the Pope are fighting for power longer than before, right? ……

Lombardo finished his long thought and asked Chester.

"Yes, we have heard that both have been in their current status for at least ten years..."

"Right. If that's the case, then you've got the Pope on your side, and as always, it just keeps on staring at each other... No, can't you just say that..."

Then Shester asked in surprise.

"Say?

"Former Archbishop Fran. Was he another political enemy of the Pope? That he's dead. If so, is it not considered that the power of the Pope is stronger than before?

"I see. Although Fran and Calvin were not allies with each other, they used to work hand in hand against the Pope. If so, Fran's death is quite negative for Calvin."

"That's right. But on the contrary, for the Pope..."

"Pretty positive. So?

"Exactly. Perhaps the balance of power between the two should be out of order."

"Then there's going to be a gap in our pope, right?

"Oh, you're right, Shester. But even so... you'll need a souvenir..."

"... a copy of the tattoo on Comet's back...?

Shester glanced lightly at Lombardo with a sharp eye.

Lombardo then laughed niggardly and immediately denied the idea.

"I won't do that, either. As the tattoo on his back pointed to the whereabouts of the estate of former Archbishop Fran, that estate belongs to you, Comet, and your brothers, not mine at least. Then I'm not supposed to give it to you from right to left on my own."

"... So what are you going to make a souvenir of?

Then Lombardo exhaled loudly, looking to heaven.

"Now that's it... when it comes to souvenirs that the Pope seems to be pleased with... is there anything? Shester."

"Ha... the first thing I can think of is still gold. Because as much as you're after the legacy of former Archbishop Fran. That and the next thing you can think of will be power. Calvin, Fran and I have been arguing for more power for a moment."

"Right. Does it still mean money or power..."

Lombardo also put his arms together and thought deeply for a while.

Then Chester, walking next to each other, also became a difficult face.

And they even kept walking silently for a while.
