272 – The end is only the beginning
“That, Kyle. He felt it from the very beginning.”
The road to John Nassen. Tisha, who was silent for a while, cautiously removed her lips.
“Now, aren’t we going somewhere on a pilgrimage?”
“Ahahahaha!”
The princess, who was moving quietly at Tisha’s words, burst into laughter.
Of course, there were a lot of priests belonging to the church in this group.
And all of them were moving with very pious faces on their faces.
I heard that most of them are going to go somewhere sooner or later.
I didn’t ask for the destination in detail, but the reason for going to John Nassen this time.
It was true that it was nothing other than the confirmation work before the penance and to get advice afterwards.
“Sister Tisha is right. These days, going to John Nassen is called a pilgrimage in the church.”
What is it? Are you really calling this a pilgrimage? Why the hell
Isn’t the north the beginning of the church, and isn’t it the place where religious doctrines were created?
When Kyle makes an expression that she doesn’t understand, the saintess smiles.
“It is a place that has brought a new and fresh wind to the church. Since then, with a more sincere heart, I have been able to call on the name of God more reverently, so it is natural that heading north becomes a pilgrimage route.”
By the way, according to John Nassen’s advice, the pilgrimage route is said to be traveled on foot.
However, in this case, I had to use a moving magic circle to save time.
Instead, it is said that he walked and ran that distance in advance.
‘It’s a good habit. The mindset that if you can’t exercise, you will somehow make up for it.’
Sometimes it happens. If something happens while working out and you can’t do it, just skip it.
That shouldn’t be the case. If you can’t do it in that time frame, you have to free up time to do it.
That’s John Nassen. And these are the behaviors of those who were influenced by John Nassen.
“Ugh. Kyle. Am i okay? Isn’t that strange?”
Maybe it was because of the frequent overtime and staying up all night the past few days.
She was Elgar who was very concerned about dark circles.
She may simply be concerned about the beauty part, but that’s not it.
Someone said it seemed like he had a lot of physical problems because he didn’t exercise.
She’s heading to that ‘John Nassen’, not somewhere else, and she doesn’t like that kind of misunderstanding.
“Yes. It’s fine now. And even in her hometown, staying up all night is not recommended. I mean, it hurts the body. They don’t call you weak because you’re tired from staying up all night.”
A place where more thorough self-management is essential for more enjoyable exercise.
So, it is Jon Nassen who always eats three meals a day and sleeps on time.
“Kyle is right. When was it? When I went to John Nassen the other day, I was scolded for not being too rough with my body. Um, that’s right It certainly has.”
“The princess is said to have lost her soul?”
“Uh. Saintess. Really.”
She was, of course, a saint who responded that she couldn’t imagine it at all.
And Elgar and Tisha, who were walking side by side with her, were also similar to the saintess.
The princess is a person who is strong and has her own world firmly established.
There were even rumors that the emperor was a child who couldn’t bear to say anything.
By the way, the sight of the princess getting scolded? I can’t imagine this well.
“Kyle. There.”
At this time, Tisha points to a place and shows a welcome sign.
The reason she reacts like this is because of an old man approaching in front of her.
“Welcome, little boy.”
“Old Man Neil is welcoming you again.”
“hahahaha! Also, I happened to be the first to finish the routine!”
Precisely, it must have been a situation that had to end first.
Though John Nassen digests enough momentum to scare everyone.
Among them, the direct lineage of the head of the family trains to be twice as good.
And crucially, old Neil is quite old.
Now I have to refrain from excessive movement even for the sake of my body.
It was Kyle who I remember hearing old Neil talk about last summer vacation.
‘Of course, it’s a bit difficult to take that seriously. No, there are quite a few.’
An old man who says he needs to take care of himself because he is old is happily sparring with the top 10 empire.
If you look at his physical condition, most imperial knights will break it with a smile.
It is literally 100% pure combat muscle, not for show.
“And after….”
Old man Neil thought about something for a while, twiddling his chin.
Then he suddenly smiled and let go of his rhyme like this.
“See you again. Girls. Welcome to John Nassen.”
It was Old Man Neil, whom I treated as a guest last summer vacation.
But this time, starting with the title, I treat him as an infallible John Nassen.
It was a part that showed that some story had already been exchanged inside.
“Please take good care of our little boy.”
Have another drink and say hello that way.
Thanks to this, the slightly nervous expressions of the women were relieved at once.
“You still correct me.”
“Oops, corrections! My socks are sore!”
Aha, your shoes are sore, so you go around with the disk inserted in the bar like that.
Looking at it this way, I wonder what the hell is death for John Nassen.
I have to do a natural death, but it seems like it’s going to be difficult.
Tisha, Elgar, the saint, and even the princess.
Old man Neil, who greeted everyone one by one, looked behind him.
“Hmm. There are other guests this time too. See… Aren’t they like members of the church?”
It’s old Neil who happened to have a lot of contact with the church.
Thanks to that, as soon as I saw that sentence, I immediately recognized that it was a denomination.
“Yes, sir. They are going on a journey to a very far place this time, but before that, they said that they came on a pilgrimage to our John Nassen. How about it. Are you okay?”
“A pilgrimage? It’s strange, little boy. Did that happen to our John Nassen?”
In response to Neil’s inspiration, Kyle decided to solve it herself.
First of all, take him and approach the priests who came from the church.
And it showed the current state of the priests, reminding us of how miserable it was just a year ago.
“I don’t see it now, but these guys here were really serious.”
“It must have been really harsh for the little boy to say that.”
In John Nassen, the one who showed the most limited response to the training part was Kyle.
To think that even Kyle was too serious.
Hearing the story, Old Man Neil even sighed, saying, “It’s a child.”
“But look now. How do you feel in the eyes of the old man?”
Neil was inspired by Kyle’s question, and looked closely at the priests.
These are people who found it difficult to even go up and down the stairs a year ago.
Those who couldn’t imagine running panting just by walking.
Those people are now in a state of overflowing because they are not healthy enough.
“First of all, they are about the size of the young children in our estate.”
If someone who doesn’t know the situation hears it, it could be a very rude remark.
To think they were comparing themselves to their own children. I wonder if that makes sense.
But who are John Nassen’s little children?
They are small monsters that roar and tear monsters apart with their bare hands.
It is a meaningful force that can fight even against the knights of the Empire.
“Oh, the reviews are pretty generous.”
“There are still some areas that need improvement. But didn’t you say less than a year? In the meantime, I put in effort, and I fought with myself and relied on winning. It deserves praise.”
Although he is not a direct descendant of John Nassen, he is an old man who has many ties to his direct descendant.
If good things came out of his mouth, it’s safe to say that it’s a very positive thing.
Kyle smiles at Neil’s assessment and smiles slightly at her saintess.
This means that even if you meet the family head, you will get a pretty positive answer.
Thanks to this, the saintess, who had been nervous inside, was finally able to feel relieved.
Watching that scene, Elgar thought, ‘Shall we bring some of our drivers later?’
Coming to think of it, wouldn’t it be possible to draw out the friendship of the people on this side in that way?
In the meantime, the party passed the border and finally entered the real north.
“Isn’t the atmosphere a bit different the last time you came back?”
“Isn’t it? In fact, as winter approaches, people here also have a slightly different lifestyle.”
“Ah… Surely, is it because the days are so cold?”
When Elgar asks, she asks what Kyle is talking about.
Thanks Yes? It was natural for Elgar’s expression to become strange.
“It is cold. It’s very cold. That’s why more people are active.”
“Uh… Even though it’s very cold?”
“Yes. Maybe now… Well, it must be just going to the ice sea and swimming.”
The Sea of Ice, a place so cold and so harsh that the people of the Empire call it forbidden.
But the people of Jon Nassen couldn’t find a more perfect swimming pool.
If you don’t move, you will freeze to death. So if you move, you get more overload!
“How surprised I was when I was first told to swim there.”
“Ahahahaha! I remember too, little boy. At that time, he was frightened by the baron’s words to swim and asked how to swim here.”
“Ugh. Did you still remember?”
“Of course. And I also remember: The Bocchan held the little Bocchan and went in together.”
“You wouldn’t know how surprised I was at that time. He thought he was throwing it.”
Kyle and Neil talk while laughing, as if recalling a very pleasant memory.
Meanwhile, behind him were four women with tense faces.
‘No way… Wouldn’t it? Isn’t that right, Kyle?’
‘This is unsettling. Do I really have to swim?’
‘I’m not confident about swimming in a place like that either.’
‘If you knew this would happen, would you have learned to swim at least?!’
Women who become silent due to faint anxiety.
There were those who felt more insecure than that, and it was the priests of the church.
‘My God. Please keep an eye on us.’
‘What a great and difficult ordeal this is.’
It was a moment when my faith in God became more earnest once again.
