I see your code (142)
Can’t he afford to come here now?
I heard that it had been less than a week since the paladin arrived, saying that the saint candidate was definitely here.
He must still be crazy, but he must be on the verge of losing his mind in the temple. Because there are a lot more things to prepare in the temple the saint belonged to than the saint.
Although I have some personal acquaintance with Arina, I am not in a situation where I can move freely with her personal feelings.

Maybe it’s not just that the period has been extended, but the candidacy of the saint itself hasn’t changed?If this is the case, all the plans you have made so far will be in vain. Among them, there are quite a few of them with the prerequisite that Arina is a saint.
I thought about that, then took a small deep breath.
okay. Without further ado, let’s go ahead and take a look. Being a saint is a confidential matter, so I can’t tell you, but it’s okay to just take a look. There is some self-confidence there.
He gave the employee a piece of gold saying that he worked hard and went downstairs to the drawing room. I wondered if the staff had misunderstood, so when I looked at the code from the outside, it was actually Arina’s thing floating inside.
It’s only in times like this that the wicked act foolishly.
I let out a small sigh and opened the door.
“Oh, hello! Is it right to say hi after a long time?”
“Do anything. When did you care about that?”
He nodded and sat down on the sofa opposite him. Arina said with a bright smile.
“At first, I didn’t care, but now I’m going to pay more attention. Maybe one of my acquaintances has no sense of time and keeps disappearing without a word, so I had to remind him.”
“… … .”
No, aren’t you laughing?
It’s correct to have a smile on his face, but his horse has thorns in it. I feel like I need to apologize for something.
I used my psychic power to bring a cup of tea from the cupboard. Then I asked Rivera to fill it with warm water.
“Sorry. These are tea leaves from Argon. Would you like to drink some? I brought one for a gift. I know you hate vegetarian food, but I thought this might be a little different. By the way, it’s a top-notch product.”
Arina’s eyes widened at my words.
“Did you bring it to me?”
“yes.”
“… … Oh really. If you apologize right away like that, I won’t be able to properly express my anger.”
Arina pouted her lips and grumbled like that, then carefully turned over the glass she was handed over.
“Well… … . like. Actually, it’s the first time I’ve tried tea, but somehow I feel like I’ll be eating it more often in the future. It’s not easy to find a plant that suits my taste.”
That’s right. Because the non-vegetable attribute of elves is quite mild when not consumed by mouth.
As there are some pure-blood elves who enjoy tea, the mixed-race elves will have much less repulsion than that. I actually enjoyed eating it in the game.
Anyway, it was good to be prepared. I just passed by and caught my eye, so I bought it, but now I only need to process ten more bottles.
Arina immediately emptied the cup as if she really liked the tea. Then he closed his eyes for a moment and savored it, then spoke in a bright voice.
“Well, I’ll take a look at this first. Actually, Rihanna is not obligated to report that to me. But why did you come to Argon?”
“I just had a little bit of business. It’s confidential, so I can’t tell you in detail.”
“airtight. Then there is nothing you can do.”

Maybe it’s because of my mood, or the word confidential, I feel like there’s something in it. I don’t know if it’s because I’m conscious of the candidacy of the saint right now.After talking with Arina to evoke the atmosphere, I asked as if it was not a big deal.
“By the way, you said that a candidate for a saint came out of your temple? Do you know who it is?”
“Oh, that’s me.”
“Oh, that’s you… … What?”
It took me a while to understand the tone that the bok-dol next door was talking about, even if it was a baby. what. It was simply meant to float.
“… … Are you a saint?”
“Exactly, a candidate. Don’t even think about making fun of it. Because I know it doesn’t suit me very well.”
“… … But can I just tell you something like that?”
“How are you? It’s our signature.”
What kind of sign are we?
As I stared at him with absurd eyes, Arina smiled mischievously.
“No worries. After all, I came to the temple with permission. Is it because of that reason that you’ve been attending meetings so far?”
“It is, but… … .”
“Then I reduced my worries by one. It’s good to say thank you. At least at the dessert shop I went to before.”
“I’ll make delivery for you.”
For a moment, he remembered what he had said while parting, and answered with a little bluntness. Those remarks that are still confused as to whether they were serious or a joke.
Was it something you deliberately brought up as a reminder?
I looked at him with suspicion, but I couldn’t read any sign from the smile on his face. I don’t know anything, should it be the same expression?
okay. Let’s move on to this topic for now. To be honest, it’s hard to respond to either one.
“If you are a candidate for a saint, are you going to leave after receiving a mission? I know that you will be officially appointed as a saint only after you have completed it perfectly.”
“Someone who believes in no god knows that very well.”
“I am not very interested in gods, but I am very interested in temples. In any case, it is one of the main powers of the continent. Its influence cannot be denied.”
“I wonder if there are other people who view the temple from such a political point of view… … .”
Arina sighed slightly.
“Anyway, that’s right. Yesterday, I received an official assignment from Kitan-nim. Although we prefer the word ordeal in our temple.”
“is it… … .”
Obviously, if it was the original story, I would lead a few paladins to the forest of elves. And maybe the mission hasn’t changed. The reason Kitan chose Arina as a saint is because she is a very rare mixed-race elf on the continent. It seeks to reconcile human and heterogeneous races.
It’s two years earlier than the original story, so I’m a little worried, but I’m sure you’ll do well. Would it be okay if I secretly put Hans on it?
After all, the task itself is actually close to a formal procedure, so it’s not that difficult. Just go ahead and get to know each other, and that’s it.
I asked, thinking calmly.
“So, when are you leaving? It’s been a while, so you came to say hello?”
“I thought it was not long before departure… … , I didn’t come here just to say hello.”
“Then what did you come here to do?”
Arina answered with a sad expression on her face.
“You may have come just to see your face. Why don’t you ask what your mission is? You might be wondering.”
“It’s confidential anyway, so I won’t be able to answer you. What if it leaks to outsiders?”
“It may not be an outsider.”
“… … What are you talking about?”
In an instant, a feeling of premonition wrapped around her body.
Those who are not outsiders are only those involved in temples or missions.
Arina drank back the car she was getting in and said calmly.
“It’s saying that Rihanna can participate in the mission. Of course, I’m not a temple person, so if you don’t like it, you can reject it.”
“… … I know that you cannot participate in the mission of a saint unless you are a temple person or a member of that god.”
“There are exceptions everywhere.”
… … no way. As far as I know, there is only one such provision.
“Right.”
Arina nodded her head as if to confirm my expectation.
“Keetan-nim personally nominated Rihanna. Go to the forest of the elves and revive the world tree.”

Thinking is complicated. not the mind.
It was roughly expected that some of the gods would be aware of my existence.
It’s because I’ve been shooting all over the place and doing this and that. In particular, there’s no way those voyeurs would have missed out on killing Baphomet.
The problem is not that it goes that far, but that Kitan who gave me picked me up and named me.
It is very unusual for an outsider to be involved in a mission involving a saint. It goes without saying that the difficulty has suddenly risen from meeting and greeting the elves to having to revive the world tree.
Still, I was a little skeptical that it was the gods that sent me here, but it’s just weird that something like this happened.
“… … .”
I got up from bed and looked outside.
I haven’t slept all night, but the sun is already high. Still, the condition is fine. You have to stay awake for a few days, because your body is strong enough to be affected even by the slightest bit.
I sighed and left the room.
I thought I’d think about it and put it off, but I don’t know what to do. Anyway, there was a plan to revive the world tree, so I think it worked out better. But, I know for sure, sometimes I feel like I’m being beaten up for something.
Of course, temples also have a conscience, so they will compensate you to some extent, but in fact, I am not in a position to feel sorry for that. It’s just saying that you can ignore it by telling yourself to do your own thing.
“Whew… … .”

My head hurts again as I think of complicated things.I used to worry about small things more when I was living on Earth, but here, every worry is a life-threatening problem, so the stress is not a joke.
As I was walking incessantly, the street came out. I stood stunned in the middle and fell into thoughts. For a moment, I thought of the earth again after a long time.
I don’t really want to whine, but I still sometimes think of the landscape of the Earth. Especially the family and friends you left behind.
At least I have to say that I want to confirm whether there is any hope of going back. And, at least in the current situation, there must be only God who has that hint.
While he was away, he walked towards the temple, ignoring the gaze from those around him to see if his face was more known. But what they are looking for is the bishop, not the arena. Even though she’s going to become a saint, there’s no way the guy who’s still just a candidate has any authority.
As soon as they saw me, the paladins who were guarding the entrance opened the way. He bowed his head slightly in response and headed straight to the bishop’s office.
smart.
“Come in.”
“Long time no see, Bishop.”
As soon as I opened the door, the bishop with a kind face greeted me with a smile on the sofa. I greeted them in my own way and sat down on the opposite side of the seat I was invited to.
“It’s been a really long time. It’s a car that bothers me because it seems like I didn’t always say thank you properly, but I’ll thank you once again for meeting you.”
Then he bowed his head and said hello instead of crossing his name. It means respecting people as human beings regardless of religion. I quickly waved my hand at that burdensome greeting.
“I’ve heard so many thank-yous, you can stop. No, please stop.”
“So it must be the party. If you don’t want to hear that you’re getting old and shivering.”
The bishop shivered and continued.
“More than that, I guess I didn’t come here because I wanted to see this old man’s face. Is it because of that mission?”
“That’s right. I think it would be more convenient for each other to respond quickly.”
“It is not. We, too, can quickly organize a replacement manpower once we get a rejection.”
Apparently, the bishop thought that I would naturally refuse. Well, from a realistic point of view, there’s absolutely no reason for me to help.
I am not tied only to the Khitanism and my good ties, and my capital and status are also different from those I had before. I’m not saying I’m in a position to crouch at the temple.
But that’s only when looking at the real problem.
I shook my head to deny the bishop’s words.
“The bishop seemed to think I was going to turn it down, but I came to tell him that I was going to take on the task. There are conditions, of course.”
“… … Condition? What is it?”
“If this mission is successfully completed, please allow me to see the Pope at the main office.”
“The Pope?”
Perhaps this was unexpected, the bishop made a puzzled face.
“Of course, it’s not that difficult for the person who helped the saint’s mission, but… … May I ask why?”
“There is something I want to ask you.”
“Are you talking to the Pope?”
“no.”
I looked straight at him and continued.
“To Kitan-sama.”
