631 – Saint (3)
Even after the interview with Musk, Kate and Cherry did not stop collecting data.
Since it is a mission that he realized himself, he will be able to obtain more data if he moves even a little busily.
Her usual faith was strong, so she moved her steps with sincerity. For Isaac, the blessing of the gods and the object of worship.
“You mean the interview? The Cardinal?”
And this time she asked Jimin Young, a non-public figure like Musk, for an interview.
A middle-aged man with a thick mustache and a warm face. He has an impressively strong body that is not befitting of his middle-aged age.
“Yes. Isn’t Mr. Jace a living witness of the culture that Isaac showed you? I heard that he has become very popular recently thanks to the entertainment called soccer.”
“hahahaha. This is embarrassing.”
Jace tugged at the tip of his mustache, embarrassed. As Kate said, he was the first to encounter football, which spread to the world beyond the Myshal estate.

Not only this, but he is the ace among the aces who unconditionally score one goal per game in the league. Although he usually works as a carpenter.
The popularity was still confined to the Myshal estate, but Jace was truly experiencing unprecedented happiness.
“I’d be happy to do an interview. What questions would you like to ask?”
“This is a story about Isaac. I heard that Mr. Jace has lived here since Isaac was born until now. Isn’t that right?”
“That’s right. I’ve been living here before the baron moved in, so it’s been quite a while.”
The reason I chose Jace out of many, many people is simple. This is because before Isaac was born, he was the head of the Myshal estate.
There are many other locals, including him, but Jace was directly affected by the ‘culture’ that Isaac spread.
He became very popular with just one soccer, and perhaps thanks to that popularity, his work as a carpenter has increased much more than before.
“Then you must have watched Isaac’s childhood. May I ask what kind of person he is?”
“Couldn’t I ask the baroness about that?”
Jace asked back not out of annoyance, but out of genuine curiosity. If it’s Cardinal Kate, it’s enough to interview the baroness.
I don’t know what’s good about getting information from Young Ji-min, who knows little about Isaac.
“Jace is right, but Sir Isaac told me that when you judge a person, you have to look at it from different angles.”
“I see. I understand.”
In fact, Isaac once said something like that. The incident where Kate judged Clark to be undead and attacked her blindly.
Since then, she has saved Laura from being abused by a devil worshiper, and even received a revelation.
In a way, it’s like he’s faithfully following Isaac’s advice, so it’s ambiguous to say anything.
“Mister Isaac, how can I say… He has been extraordinary since he was a child. Should I say he is very curious?”
“Curiosity?”
“Yes. First of all, if it’s the first time I’ve seen it, I watched it from beginning to end unconditionally. When I was making furniture, there were times when I watched it from the side and then went back in the evening. I tended to watch everything closely.”
At the time, it would have been amazing for Isaac. After being reincarnated, a medieval fantasy world unfolded before my eyes.
Contrary to the person who said that he stayed at home and only read books, he unexpectedly went outside often.
It’s just that there weren’t many people his age to hang out with.
“Ah. I remember one thing that surprised me the most.”
“What is it?”
“The question was, “Why go through the hard work without using iron nails?”
“An iron nail? Is it the iron nail I know?”
“Yes.”
Jace’s explanation is as follows. Isaac only watched from the sidelines, and he said he immediately remembered the iron nail.
As for Isaac, I asked this question because I am doing carpentry work with a really tricky job, not iron nails that are common on Earth.
Of course, they have no way of knowing that. I just go over saying that I have had extraordinary ideas since I was a child.
“Recently, a factory that makes iron nails will be built in the capital city. Maybe you really know the future. Heh heh heh.”
“Factory······”
Kate remembered the factory Jace had mentioned. Come to think of it, the invention that changed the world, the magical engine remains.
The invention itself was done by Ains, but Isaac started the idea. Didn’t even Ains, the inventor, say that it was practically Isaac’s creation?
Thanks to that, even the Great Depression that drove the world into chaos was resolved, so I can’t help but follow it. It is an impossible achievement unless you know the future.
“Cherry? Did you hear that?”
“Umm…”
Perhaps Cherry had the same idea, so she started writing notes in her notebook. It was, of course, full of religious interpretations.
The important thing for them now is not Isaac’s previous life. Focusing only on the ‘saint’ brought by God.
As she wrote, Kate brought up another question.
“Then another question. Did your life change when Zenon Biography appeared?”
“Two words hurt my mouth. I’m a human being too, so I can’t just work all day, right? It was really nice to read Zenon’s biography whenever I had free time. In between, I learned some words I didn’t know.”
“Language is a gift from the gods, and Isaac helped me learn it… I see.”
The biography of Zenon is undoubtedly the greatest masterpiece. A work that changed the fate of the world.
When I write a book about Isaac, Zenon’s life probably takes up more than half of it. It had such a huge impact.
It’s not just Zenon’s life. The magic engine and factory mentioned earlier. Various thought and mechanical weapons appeared in Blood and Steel.
They are all feasible. Even communism has already appeared in a slightly modified form in Machina.
“Lastly, soccer. Unlike the others, soccer is a culture that Isaac spread himself. I wonder how you felt when that culture spread.”
“At first, I thought it was a fun way to relieve stress. But even for me, who has been a carpenter for decades, playing a game is very difficult.”
Finally, soccer. Jays is currently known as the best football player in the Maishal estate.
A body trained in carpentry and a good appearance. Even the ability to score one goal per game unconditionally.
“Besides, the grass is quite slippery, so I had to make separate shoes for soccer. I also had to make costumes that fit the team’s personality. With soccer alone, Yeongji is in a festive mood every day. Everyone is dedicated to the team they support. I cheer for them, and even if I lose, I tend to give in cleanly.”
“I know Isaac is playing as a referee himself. How does it feel?”
“To borrow a word from Zenon’s biography… Fairness and justice. You can call it fairness and justice itself. Even so, you have the tenacity not to be swayed by players.”
When you play soccer, there are naturally players who are full of competitive spirit. The problem is that his competitive spirit sometimes crosses the line.
In fact, there are quite a few players who were dissatisfied with Isaac’s decision and protested strongly. It didn’t lead to violence, but that alone could turn into a big problem.
However, Isaac said that it could be so and was generous every time. The players also realized their mistake and apologized to Isaac, so he was not spared.
“If we break the order of fairness and justice in the future, it will be a disgrace to the boy. I don’t know how far football will spread, but if it spreads like Zenon’s life story, fairness and justice will be the most important thing.”
“Fairness is important. Okay. Thank you so much for the interview.”
“Thank you…”
After the interview, Kate and Cherry bowed their heads politely. Jace also greeted them politely and sent them away.
After that, the two moved on for the rest of the interview. The place they are heading to is Isaac’s slave, or Carls, the artist.
While Isaac is revered as a saint, Blood and Steel continues to be serialized. Japan’s ‘Operation Imphal’ is scheduled to begin soon.
By the way, when the Imphal operation appeared, the military families (especially Mathius) were swearing at it as crazy. I will explain this later.
“Aren’t you tired?”
“A little…”
Cherry answered Kate’s question with a slow blink of her eyes. Although she looks okay on the outside, Cherry is a normal person.
Unlike Kate, who was trained with enormous divine power and Clarke’s special training, she must be physically tough.
So I’m going to just interview Carlsman and take a break today. If something goes wrong with the most important cherry, everything goes wrong.
Kate used a divine spell to make her cherries more powerful. Thanks to that, Cherry also seems to have brightened her face, albeit slightly.
“Umm…”
“·······?”
But Kate’s reaction is strange. Wasn’t she looking straight at Cherry’s chest?
It’s like looking at the notebook sandwiched between her breastbones, but I’m pretty sure I’m looking around the whole thing. Cherry tilted her head at this.
“······Why are you staring at us like that······?”
“No. Just…”
Kate slurred her words and looked down at her own breasts. She is by no means small, and of a moderately large size.
But she falls far short of Cecilina Cherry. It is a feeling that conveys her unknown sense of defeat.
Moreover, compared to the women who were favored by Isaac, she did not have anything special about herself.
‘I’ll have to ask Cecily about this.’
Or did she ask Luminus-sama? She would do anything to earn her favor.
“Cherry.”
“Yes…?”
“Can you help me when I receive favors from Isaac?”
Cherry blinked slowly at Kate’s question.
She thinks her grace is ‘salvation’. On the other hand, she is the ‘seed’ of her grace that Kate thought of.
The misunderstanding is still unresolved because both of them boasted a way of talking that was ruinous in many ways.
It works like nuclear fission, but it feels like everything is about to explode. Being this close is truly a miracle.
“Yes… I’ll help you wholeheartedly… Because it’s Kate…”
So Cherry thought that Kate had a hard time like herself. She will do as it is a request from her one and only friend.
“Thank you so much. I’ll sing Cherry when I receive favors in the future.”
Kate was both grateful and envious of such cherries. She hopes that the day will come when she receives grace as well.
They are dreaming different dreams in the same place, but they have become even closer today.
Soon I was able to reach Carls, the exclusive slave and artist for Isaac.
“Get me out of this hell.”
“··· ···”
“··· ···”
My faith was shaken for a moment.
******
In the meantime, Isaac was being taught by Luminous at the canned food.
“Help me! I was wrong!”
“A healthy mind resides in a healthy body. So hold on.”
He was receiving plenty of instruction from the ‘God of War’.
