Soul Eater of the Rebellion

"It's been a long time since I've seen you before to say, hasn't it? It is my sincere pleasure to welcome you back safely from the Catalan Desert, called the Demonic Realm, Lord Sky."

It was Pope Noah Carnelius, the supreme leader of the Divine Church of Law, who smiled so small.

Smooth flax-colored hair, jewel reminiscent emerald (Midori) eyes, plucking white skin. It has a faithful appearance that is no different than when I had my face seen before.

If there was anything unusual, it was the costume that Pope Noah was putting together. Unlike before, when he was wearing simple cleric clothing for his journey, Pope Noah today puts together a majestic coat of law worthy of his status.

The white based coat is made of holy cloth - a cloth woven with yarn made from holy water - and if you gaze at it, you can see that it has an incredibly skillful embroidery. Embroidery is not noticeable because it is sewn with yarn of the same colour as the clothing. It was clear that those embroideries were not just patterns, but designs with magical connotations. Naturally, the blessings of God of Law will also be all that goes into this.

Perhaps this garment is much sturdier than the walls there, both physically and magically.

Pope Noah's wearing this coat is not about keeping me on guard - of course, it's just about wearing clothes worthy of status. I can see that, but it was undoubtedly the effect of contact with Lascaris that the thought of "possibly being alert" and so on for a moment crossed the back of my brain.

I exhale small to keep my opponent from noticing.

Five days have already passed since we defeated Behemoth and listened to Lascalis. This is Horus, king's capital of the Kingdom of Canaries. I was just meeting with Pope Noah, who was a guest of the royal palace.

By the way, I'm not on this occasion, but Cardinal Cyrara is also coming to the King's Capital. To attend the wedding of Prince Azar and Princess Sakuya.

- I feel that the circumstances have taken a little bit of a hint, so if I follow the order of how I am here, here's what happens:

First, when I returned to Berca from Leeloasis, when I defeated Behemoth, the Cardinal had already left for the King's Capital.

The temple's gatekeeper tells me that the day after I headed to the desert, a dragon knight picked me up from the Royal Canary Palace. When I found out about it, I left Berca in the form of a chase after the Cardinal.

Along the way, I met Lars in the village of Merte to tell him about Katya and from there to Ishka. From Miroslav, who was leaving a message, he heard that Pope Noah had finished preparing for junctional witchcraft, and that he had headed for the King's capital in a way that would replace the Shadow Warriors, leaving once again for the King's capital.

Arriving in the King's Capital, I visited the residence of the Duke of Dragnote and climbed on to an interview with Pope Noah via Claudia, who is an escort to the Pope - to this day.

The reason I'm here is to give the Pope the stone of the wise man I received from Lascalis. The corner of Behemoth, which was the purpose, was lost, but the stone of the wise can be a sufficient substitute. By giving this to the Pope, he should have been able to clean up one of the suspense proposals that have been bothering my head for some time now.

However, when I thought of the hostility shown to Lascalis by Cardinal Cyrala, a heavy town of the Divine Church of Law, I was hesitant (for) to speak frankly about the situation. The Cardinals are not the only ones hostile to the Night Club and its host, Rascalis. Instead, Pope Noah, who has previously fought directly against the King of Immortality, should hate Lascalis much more deeply than the Cardinal.

Will the Pope truthfully receive the stone of the wise man whom his opponent has sent?

It's a trap, it would be a natural reaction to suspect. In the worst case scenario, my suspicious eyes are turned on me.

The Pope must not receive it, even if he tries to give it a national treasure item without saying anything. Definitely ask me how I got it. If you respond falsely to that, the Pope's wise eye (cancer) will easily spot the lie.

After thinking about that and this, I decided to be honest with Pope Noah about a series of experiences.

If you are small enough to get along, you should confront them with facts from the beginning. If, as a result, we are to be hostile to the divine religion of law, then that is the time.

I put the sage stone out of my nose on the table. There was a noise, and the stone swept small.

Pope Noah, who saw it, faintly opened his right eye.

"It's..."

"He who gave this to me said it was the stone of the wise. Extremely elegant from the Golden Empire (Imperium) and would replace the horns of Behemoth enough," he said.

That alone perceived the approximation, the Pope left the surprise out of his eyes, and I see, he nodded.

And say.

"The emperor met Rascalis, didn't he? That rotten (dark) elf and"

"Yes, Holiness. - Hmm?

After I nodded at the other person's question, I snapped my neck wondering if something was wrong now.

But Pope Noah continues ahead with a clear face, without such a reaction.

"We have received reports from Cardinal Cyrara. In Berca, there arose a temple with the emptiness."

"did have a slight disagreement over the companionship"

"My people, are you? It's what you say when you put ghosts in your nostalgia."

That's how Pope Noah smiles thinly. As I thought before, the Pope has difficulty capturing emotional changes due to small and short facial changes.

How the Pope felt about me when he heard Cardinal Cyrara's report. And now, how do you look at me for bringing a stone of sage given to me by Lascalis? It was difficult to plug them from the outside.

When the Pope takes the stone of the wise man on the table, he narrows his eyes quietly.

"... you don't seem to have any strange tricks. And indeed, this magic stone has enough magic as a catalyst for the kingdom."

The Pope, who put the stone of the wise man back on the table, bows his head deeply towards me.

In response to the motion, the girl's flax hair transmitted her thin shoulders and flowed around her chest.

"Thank you, Emperor. This will stop people in this country from suffering from death and poison."

"Give me your head, Holiness. I was one of those who lived in this country until I did what I could. Thank you for your patience."

"I'll take care of it. To the prestige of Judaism, let us necessarily build a bond and let it be seen. A strong and long-lasting bond."

Pope Noah, who raised his face, gave him a firm nod.

And keep your words going as you watch this one.

"By the way, I'm talking about that rotten (dark) elf. You didn't just give the Emperor a magic stone and walk away. Isn't there something you'd like to ask me?

It was a sincere (shin) voice and expression. When I refer to Lascalis as the "dark elf," I feel something black for some reason, but nothing else smells bad feelings for this one.

I nodded in response to this Pope Noah inquiry.

"There's only one thing I want to ask you."

What I want to hear is the details of what Law and Divinity is planning using the Dragon Hole - it wasn't.

I don't trust Rascalis at all. Not everything that the Immortal King told you is a lie, but the sincerity with which he conveyed it to us lies in using me. I'm not willing to move based on that man's information any more than I know that.

In fact, I didn't tell anyone, anything, about this. If we were to tell the story of Rascalis to others, it would be after we took firm support for the information.

Naturally, I am also unwilling to speak out about my doubts about the divinity of the law. It's hard to say that I myself have lived a noble way of flattering myself in the first place. Whatever the Dhamma seeks to secure the Dragon Hole, it does not deserve to be blamed for its abode.

However, there was still only one thing I wanted to make sure of.

Phototheistic.

The last word Rascalis said. And it's also the word that Ouken, the ghost man who fought on Kigajima, was saying.

Two people belonging to very different forces uttered the exact same words.

If it's just a coincidence, that's fine. For there is no wonder that the divine nature of God of Light overlaps in different cultures, different myths.

But if it wasn't a coincidence...

"Do you know the word Light God under Holiness?

nervousness and ask Pope Noah with a certain readiness.

The answer came back light in addition to my thoughts.

"Yes, I know. You can't possibly not know. Why, because Light Theism is an organization that has become the predecessor of Law Theology."

"A predecessor organization, is it?

The Pope nods to my question. The actions taken afterwards were at best the same as those of Lascalis.

He uttered the Sacred Word of Judaism.

"Law is what keeps order. And order is the light that illuminates the coma (kura) of man's world - light is another divinity of our Law God. I hear that light godliness was excluded as a cult because it sought justice so purely."

"A cult is not a serene word, is it? You said you sought pure justice, but what exactly did you do?

"In the battle three hundred years ago, a party of the Light Divinity sided with the Ghosts. They wondered if that war was inspired by human greed, and crushed the ghost tribe for their own righteousness. But whatever the circumstances, it doesn't matter that they betrayed their countrymen. That's not all of the reason, but it's probably one of the reasons why Light God gave up its name as Law God."

That said, Pope Noah looked at me quietly.

My face appears in the eyes of Cui (Midori), who is about to get sucked in.

"I can't break their behavior as wrong. On my own, I'm wondering if you have the same idea, don't you?

"You're right, sir"

It is clear that Pope Noah's words refer to suzume, which is why I had no other option but to nod.

To me like that, the Pope keeps his word.

"He said that the remaining followers of the Light God were set up with traitors, ostracized as cults, and tasted the pain of painting (once). People and teaching get dirty as it is. A measure of surplus (cucumber) taken by the High Priest when he thought of it that way. That was to creep into Adoastella, which at the time was nothing more than a small country, because it revealed its legal theology and name. After that, you will know very well that the path that Judaism took with the Empire was the sky."

When Pope Noah spoke that far, he shut his mouth so that he had said everything that needed to be said.

A book of silence descends indoors.

Slightly, when I tried to pry my mouth, the door of the room slammed reluctantly as I whispered it.

It was the clergy of the Divinity of Law who was revealed, and he said he wanted to confirm about the wedding steps. If you put it together, the clergyman doesn't seem to be the only one who has business with the Pope, and I can feel multiple signs from beyond the door.

Without having to think about it again, the pope, who holds a wedding between nations, must be so busy that he also wants to borrow the hand of a cat. Wasn't it quite impossible just to twist the time to talk to me like this?

I just got up late thinking about it.

I could ask roughly what I wanted to know. If you want to talk about any more stepping in, I'm ready for you, too. The uncertain information of authenticity spoken by Rascalis alone cannot deny or affirm the story of the Pope.

"Thank you, Your Holiness, for sharing your precious story. I beg your pardon with this."

"I apologize for the suddenness. If that's the case, I wanted to talk to you a little more..."

"I'm afraid. If you ever get a chance, don't hesitate."

In a deep salute to the Pope, I return my heel to the door.

My back made my voice play. A voice as small as a whisper, and then, deep as it will always be in your ear.

- Please don't be my enemy.

The voice, indeed, said so.
