689 – Ordeal (1)
“Freedom! Freedom at last!”
Roman, who had been sentenced to more than fried dumplings and canned food, jumped out of the worship room and rejoiced.
Since it came out of the worship room at the Vatican, not anywhere else, it is inevitable to keep an eye on it.
But Roman didn’t care and ran like crazy and ran out of the Vatican.
-Ah! It’s a real sun! It’s the real sun! Hey Ruminus! Thank you for your mercy!
I don’t know what the reason is, but it’s Roman who prays to the bright sun.
It’s not the Vatican that should be solemn, so no one could easily stop it because they went outside.
What’s more, it’s not just one or two people like that. After going through asceticism, you gain enlightenment and do that sometimes.
So many people seemed to ignore Roman kissing the ground or praying to the sun.
“Is it that good?”
In the meantime, I came out of the worship room with Roman. A thick manuscript is clutched in both hands.
Roman helped him finish the manuscript as soon as possible and even received forgiveness from Luminous.
Instead, Luminous also said that he would forgive all his sins by completing the work. I watched silently from the side.
‘I even showed you the scenery in case you end up like Carls.’
The scene of a forest with a waterfall flowing was also shown, and a scene of only a bonfire burning in the dark night sky was shown.
It’s called white noise, or white noise, and it raised concentration by showing not only noise but also beautiful scenery.
Although Roman was satisfied at first, as time passed, he gradually became depressed.
All of this is an illusion anyway, so what does it mean? Do you want to live a real life or what?
“Are you finished?”
Kate approached me as I was checking the manuscript. It is a look and a voice filled with expectations.
About 1 month has passed in the canned food. It wasn’t long until the end, but it was because Roman was making a fuss inside.
Still, the time outside must have only passed about 5 minutes. I answered while showing the thick pile of manuscripts.
“Yes. Everything is finished. I’ll have to go back to the mansion and inspect it again.”
“That, then…”
At my words, Kate put on an expectant expression. Seeing that her hands are tightly clasped, it seems that she wants to hurry up and do something.
As I always think, Kate seems a bit impatient compared to her other lovers.
Unlike her lovers, who had the mindset of “I’ll do it when the time comes”, The feeling of wanting to be connected as soon as possible.
It could be because it has a lot of religious colors in it. It means that her more special day comes to her.
But apart from that, there is still work to be done. First of all, from cherry.
“No. As I said before, you need to consult with Cherry. It’s essential, especially since it’s closely related to her family.”
“I don’t know Cherry personally, but why do I have to consult with her family?”
“Because Cherry is an aristocrat. Besides, Cherry is only for the atmosphere, and she is also quite aesthetically beautiful. Maybe she is still getting married.”
Cherry’s father, Count Letish, knows what kind of relationship I have with Cherry. You will look like a master and disciple.

However, even though I am currently married, I have many lovers. It’s an open secret, so there’s no point in hiding it.
So, from the point of view of Count Leticia, to be exact, his father with a daughter, it would be awkward in many ways. Same from the family point of view.
Although her child was ruined by her faulty education, she was literally just her faulty education, and her affection for her would be there.
“Whatever she chooses, she will respect her future. Even if she persuades Count Leticci, it is meaningless if Cherry refuses.”
“If you convince Cherry, you mean you don’t have to convince Count Leticci?”
“You’ll have to give Count Leticci a convincing reason. Or else he’ll treat you like a madman?”
To be honest, everything that is currently happening to me is close to being a fisherman. Except for the work in Starbirk.
Through Gura mixed with the proper truth, he caused people to misunderstand, not misunderstand, and grew in size through it.
Kate is a doctrine, so what is she?
I am very worried that a pseudo-religion centered on me will be born in the future.
‘I don’t know God, but I have a little bit of religion…’
There is a big difference between being worshiped as a god and being worshiped as a religion.
I know that there are people who still worship me with their faith. This is a fact that the gods have told you.
But it would be very embarrassing if it turned into a religion. Religion is a culture that transcends race and the starting point of philosophy.
A religion wrapped in lies can never be called a true religion. It is also an insult to Jesus and Buddha on Earth.
“······If you treat Isaac as a madman, we will immediately declare a holy war.”
As if she didn’t take my joke as a joke, Kate said in a blustery tone.
It’s me who gets chills from that word. If you’re already hostile, Kate’s personality might really declare a holy war.
So she opened her mouth, choosing the right words for her to clear up her misunderstanding.
“I-I mean it could be, not necessarily. Oh, it’s different and uh, it’s different, right? This is something Kate needs to be careful about.”
“I’ll listen carefully. Then, won’t Isaac accompany you?”
Kate asked with her puzzled look on her face. She’ll have to wonder why, on her part, I don’t go looking for her myself.
However, in this situation, opinions must be conveyed through an agent.
I’ll go ahead myself. Is this an armed protest or what?
‘It’s just blackmail.’
She’ll penalize her if she won’t be my girl. It’s no different from expressing this opinion.
Of course, due to her cherry personality, there is a high possibility that she will stubbornly reject it. Even though she has been given several chances so far, she has chosen to watch from a distance.
So it would be better for Kate to convince me than for me. Either symbolically or in an effective way.
“It’s a situation where I can’t step forward myself. Besides, in the case of Cherry, Kate wants it, right?”
“Are you saying Isaac doesn’t want cherries?”
“That’s not it. She always reciprocates any woman who wants pure love from me. She always does.”
Although Lina made many excuses, her heart toward me was pure. To the extent that even Marie was willing to accept it.
Cherry’s self-esteem has hit rock bottom, so it’s because she’s been through her abyss. Her opportunities are always open.
“You don’t have to convince Cherry. If you want, Kate alone…”
“That’s absolutely not possible. Rather, after hearing that, I’m more determined. I’ll make sure to convince you.”
Before I could finish my sentence, Kate replied with her determined face.
I know you’ve been hanging out with Cherry a lot lately. But I don’t know what the hell she’s doing to react so strongly.
“Did Cherry even help Mr. Kate?”
“I am helping with the impossible for me.”
Even Kate is helping the impossible. I wonder what it is.
First of all, it will never be a physical job. Cherry is a normal person, a normal person who can’t even handle mana properly.
I can use mana because I was once trained as a knight, but it is difficult for ordinary people to use mana.
As the mechanical civilization develops further in the future, that tendency will become stronger. It is questionable whether mana will be used in the future.
“Okay. Then, as I said before, I’ll leave all cherry-related matters to Kate. Please visit me when everything is over.”
“·······You said you would leave it entirely to me?”
“?”
Kate looked at her at her meaningful question. It is a surprised expression as to which part the point was caught.
I was a bit hesitant, but I didn’t know where I misunderstood, so I brought out the answer.
“Yes. As I said earlier, the opponent will feel burdened if I step forward myself.”
“Then, not just the cherry, but the other parts too…?”
“Hmm…”
I’m finally getting the hang of it. It seems to be a question of whether you will continue to set yourself up as an agent.
I wondered if I should go that far, but after thinking about it, it’s not a bad option. Why would the gods express their will through the pope?
It is difficult to directly talk to them, and the moment they speak, the impact is enormous.
As if I send a letter to Musk right away, and the moment the contents of the letter are revealed to the media, the world goes crazy.
‘Should I avoid appearing in person for the time being?’
Now we need to be careful about every word. It’s like the world is talking about the end of the world right now.
So having Kate as her spokesperson isn’t a bad option. Because Kate was a Cardinal of the Luminous Church.
Of course, you will need a reasonable probability. Even though she is the Cardinal of Luminous, it is strange to reveal my position.
“Do that. Instead, you’ll have to get permission from Luminus-sama. Kate is a member of the Luminous Church.”
“Isaac is a soul brought by the gods, so it will be all right. Luminous’s will is Isaac’s will, and Isaac’s will is Luminous’s will.”
“······It wouldn’t be bad to interpret it that way.”
I just smiled and went on. In terms of the earth, is it a person who believes in Jesus and his Buddha at the same time?
Of course, from Earth, they’ll look at you with salty eyes. However, I have a very deep ‘relationship’ with Luminous, to be precise, with the gods.
Because the gods were the ones who personally assisted me when I came over here because of the devil worshiper’s bullshit. As far as plausibility is concerned, it is guaranteed.
‘Are Yahweh and Jesus similar?’
Just as I was thinking about it, Kate closed her eyes, clasping her hands together.
Looks like he listened to my permission and thought hard about something…
“Raise your voice…”
“······Mr. Kate?”
“Isaac.”
Her ominous spirit calls out to her and she slowly opens her eyes.
It could be an illusion, but I don’t know why, but my eyes are much clearer than before.
“Isaac.”
“······Speak.”
“I will try harder in the future.”
What are you trying to do? Make people anxious.
Still, shouldn’t I be praised for working hard?
I cheered Kate with a bewildered feeling.
“······I look forward to it.”
Here’s what I needed to know.
“I will definitely repay your support.
‘Ah’ is different and ‘uh’ is different.
*****
Kate shouldered a sense of mission to herself with a word of support from Isaac.
The first thing she had to do was convince her precious friend and companion, Cherry.
I wanted to give her Isaac’s grace as her companion to help her in her own mission.
But…
“Are you like me…?”
“Cherry. Isaac told me to speak up. Doesn’t Cherry also have love for Isaac?”
“Yes…But I’m nothing…”
“Umm…”
From the beginning, I faced the ‘ordeal’.
‘I think I know why you asked me to persuade Cherry. This must be the first ordeal given to me.’
Of course, Kate’s thought circuit went that way.
