662 – Voice (2)
I am afraid that if I do this, I will become a true saint. This is what I thought while watching the Starbirkmin praying on their knees.
I made up plausible words by mixing suitable lies with circumstances favorable to me, but not to the extent of being ‘worshipped’ like this.
It is true that he stopped the army by himself, it is true that he came from another world, and it is also true that he came from a world where Nazi Germany existed.
But I never even imagined that it would be like this. Kate, who even came forward to protect me, knelt down on her own first.
“It’s as I planned.”
“Yes?”
“I said it was as I expected. I firmly believed that Isaac would do this.”
Didn’t you just say that it was as planned? I looked at Kate with a confused heart.
From her Earth After she came out, her gaze at me became more intense. At first glance, it must have been a glimpse of madness.
Obviously, the eyes are gentle and clear, but I can feel the fear. Is that what you call a clear-eyed madman?
‘Anyway, this is a bit…’
As Kate and I headed for the Provisional Government House, I looked around. The people of Starbirk are bowing down.
It may not come close to you because it’s a calm expression, but you’re really bowing down. It is not a temple, but a state of worship with faith.
I can understand since I barely prevented the country from being blown away. But this was too burdensome.
I’d rather scatter flowers like a hero. This atmosphere, which was so quiet that I felt even reverence, made my breath stop.
“Raise your voice…”
“Do not be silent…”
It was also burdensome to recite non-verse verses as we passed by. I don’t know how the hell you interpreted my words.
So it was not difficult to get to the official residence thanks to the people of Starbirk who opened the way like Moses.
It’s easy to return right away, and time is also time, so staying for one night is enough.
Above all, Kate will be by her side to protect her, so there is no problem with her safety.
“Kate.”
“Yes. Please tell me.”
“That… As I said before, I have no intention of forgiving assassins.”
“I know.”
It’s more of a problem because I know. I wondered how the assassins would be dealt with.
In the past, I almost got ambushed by a demon worshiper assassin. That’s when Kate gave out a very muk bowl.
I even smashed all my teeth so that I couldn’t commit suicide. Even with one kick.
This time, if I added more, it would be more, not less. I asked cautiously.
“What are you going to do?”
“I’ll take the skin off and salt it.”
“··· ···”
I was so calm that I was confused as to what he was saying. The tone is close to that of going out to drink, but the content is bloody.
However, if you look at the current public opinion, there is a high possibility that even that will be insufficient. Please pray for the peace of mind of the assassins.
“Then what about those who sympathized? The attempted assassins are the same, but not the others.”
“Don’t worry about that. Bugs should be treated like bugs.”
“What is processing?”
“It is burnt.”
Yes. Let’s not talk I laughed out loud.
At this point, even extremists will be able to be eradicated, so I guess I should just move on.
I emphasize again, I am not a hogu. I can forgive people who have tried to harm me, but they are not my acquaintances.
The assassin’s original target was Lina, so she was able to make this decision. If not, I would have just skipped over it.
‘Even if I passed, other people wouldn’t.’
As I walked with that thought in mind, I was able to reach the official residence before I knew it. Asala had already arrived at the official residence, so she entered easily.
I already know that I will be staying for a night or so. It’s my prediction, but I’ll give you a grand welcome.
“Raise your voice. Welcome, Saint Zenon.”
“··· ···”
It’s not a grand welcome, it’s a reverent welcome! I was embarrassed by Asala who greeted me by reciting an unknown phrase.
I don’t know what happened to my image in their heads. Could it be that he was on the level of Jesus or Buddha in his previous life?
If it’s really like that, your conscience will explode because it can’t be stabbed. Compared to them, I know that I am far short of the qualifications of a saint.
Qualification to become a god? In fact, it’s closer to the ‘scientific’ method than faith, so it doesn’t really touch me.
It is a burdensome situation in many ways. I awkwardly opened my mouth while looking at Asala with bright eyes.
“It’s burdensome, so you don’t have to.”
“No. It must be so. That way, we won’t be a nuisance to the Holy Son who bestowed miracles on us.”
“··· ···”
You’re wrong. I almost laughed at Asala’s words.
What’s even more impressive here is that Kate nodded her head in sympathy. The satisfied smile made me feel like a villain.
The scarier thing is that both of them are ‘sincere’. Increasingly afraid
“You said you’re staying for the night, so I’ll treat you with the best treatment. Cardinal Kate…”
“I will stay by Isaac’s side for safety.”
“Ah. I see. I understand. I will guide you to the room where you two will stay.”
It’s ambiguous even to myself separately. All the extremists, the white hands, were arrested, but there is an if.
I was worried that something would happen because the man and the woman were in the same room, and they had a crush on each other.
Of course, it’s absolutely not that I hate her. I was just assuming what if.
“You don’t have to worry. Grace will be received with Cherry.”
“Yes… Wait a minute. Cherry?”
I don’t care that you read my thoughts. Strangely, people who have a crush on me only look at my expression and read my heart.
But not cherries. Cherry was mentioned out of the blue, so I could intuit that something was strange.
“Yes. When I receive grace, Cherry also said to help. I heard that Cherry has already received grace from Isaac.”
“··· ···”
“Isn’t it?”
“That······ yes······”
I can’t even guess what kind of conversation was going on. I couldn’t tell if I was possessed by a lewd demon or if Cherry lied.
At first, I went overboard. Misunderstandings can be resolved slowly.
‘······Or should we go shamelessly?’
Cherry is also a woman who has a rational crush on me. She is such a pitiful woman that even other women feel sorry for her.
It means that you can accept it without difficulty. Of course, it should be done under mutual agreement, not blindly.
“Oh, my saint. Is it okay to introduce someone to you?”
She was about to decide on a room for a night or so. She suddenly thought of something, and Asala recommended it to me.
There is someone I would like to introduce to you. I was a little curious that a leader like Asala would introduce me.
“Yes. It doesn’t matter. You’re not dangerous, are you?”
“Absolutely not! It’s safe to say that the wise man is the one who brought Starbirk all the way here. Even I am nothing compared to him.”
“Hmm?”
That level of reaction makes me more curious. I raised one eye.
“He is the one who even predicted this assassination. If you had listened to him, none of this would have happened.”
“You predicted an assassination attempt?”
“Yes. The sage said we should deal with all the extremists. I just didn’t listen to that advice.”
Isn’t that enough of a prophecy? It’s me, very similar to Sarajevo’s process, so I was able to make a prediction.
But I am not a wise man. What on earth did you look at and gave such advice?
“Okay. Where can I wait?”
“You can wait here.”
“Asala, I have something I want to talk to you about. Is that okay?”
Asala was about to go out to call the sage, Kate briefly stopped him.
“Ah, yes. It doesn’t matter. The wise man can call someone.”
“Okay. I have something to talk about, so please make room for me.”
“Yes.”
Maybe it’s because he was the commander of the allied forces that almost destroyed his country. Asala was embarrassed but accepted it.
Since the army has withdrawn, Kate has been a cardinal, not a commander-in-chief. That seems to have worked.
So Asala and Kate left the room and were left alone. I sat down in a chair and waited quietly.
‘It’s strange.’
I am still confused about whether the phenomenon I saw with my own eyes is the truth. A situation where countless people knelt in front of me and worshiped.
To say this is a bit like a pseudo cult leader. In fact, the pseudo-teacher must have been like this.
‘Isn’t it ambiguous to call it pseudo?’
I am in a situation where the gods openly support me. If you say it’s a pseudo, they’ll be swearing coolly.
This means that faith in the true meaning is born. It’s burdensome.
Smart tok tok-
Someone knocked on the door while I was lost in my thoughts. It seems to have arrived sooner than expected.
“Come in.”
From noble mtl dot com
Knock-
As soon as my permission is granted, the door opens. I got up from my seat and looked at the person who had entered.
An old man who could be called a ‘wise man’ stood proudly in front of the door. Similar to Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings.
In this world, there is a strong tendency for the elderly to be given preferential treatment. Because the era is the era, there are few people who live longer than expected.
“Hello. Your name is…”
“It’s easy to call him a sage.”
I thought he was wise after all with his old voice.
“False saint.”
“·······?”
Are you the real sage?
