7 – Lesser Priest Training
After a tearful farewell with Stella, he started to move along with Maxis.
It is said that this large palace is the headquarters of the Hellenes Church.
In order to assert religious authority as it is the place where the pope and saints do business
It seems to have been built large and splendid.
I understand that to some extent.
I hope that Maxis will do that, rather than the imperial castle of the neighboring country, the hegemon of this world.
It is said to be large and beautiful.
“It would take a week just to look around the palace.”
“It will take you a month to visit all the underground areas.”
“That… Is that enough?”
“For our headquarters, what’s hidden underneath is better than what’s out there.”
It is said that there are many facilities in the basement, including the data storage room.
It seems that there are scary places that have absolutely nothing to do with me.
First of all, the conversation proceeded in the direction of not listening.
Then we arrived at a very large dormitory.
Some terraces had blankets and laundry hanging on them.
It was a place that gave off a sense of life, so for some reason I started to sigh with relief.
“People are similar no matter where they live.”
“Is that so? Next time, I’d like to hear about the world that Your Excellency once lived in.”
“It’s nothing special. Civilization has developed a little…”
Rather, the civilization was more developed, but it was a cold and hungry world.
It was also a world that showed the extreme of irrationality, where the more you live with sincerity, the more you lose.
“I’ll tell you more later.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
Maxis, with an expression of great anticipation,
The door to the men’s dormitory was wide open.
The interior was made of marble, creating a clean and luxurious atmosphere.
If you go to a 5-star hotel, expensive chandeliers hang from the ceiling.
Isn’t light and light reflected to create beauty?
From there, only the chandelier was missing, and a large magic stone was floating on the ceiling, emitting light.
“First of all, let me tell you about the shared facilities of the dormitory. First is the laundry room.”
When I came out sideways from the entrance on the first floor, there were dozens of square boxes that looked like washing machines.
There were male priests and female priests in one place.
They were all holding the same laundry basket, which contained the laundry they had already worn.
“It seems that both men and women share common facilities?”
“Yes, it is. Under the name of God, men and women are all equal.”
“It’s really nice.”
I nodded my head over and over, and Maxis made a face of admiration.
Anyway, it seems good to see that he likes the doctrines of religion.
“Next is the bath. Of course, there are separate baths for men and women.”
“It would be rather difficult without it…”
“hahahahaha, it seems that he is already fully aware that he is the saintess’s husband.”
“Shh…Shh! That’s still a secret!”
“Heh…Heh… I made another mistake…”
It is still a secret that Stella and I are getting married.
Everything has to be interlocked and stabilized because it was data that could be published.
Because if the fact becomes known now, it could fall into chaos.
The subject of a married woman’s marriage seems to be one of the most interesting topics in the world.
Fortunately, because of the loud washing machine noise around
It seems that the voice of Maxis, who spoke softly next to me, has been drowned out.
“Enter the bath from the same entrance, enter the central living room and
It is a form of entering the dressing room of each gender.”
“Then the man and woman will run into each other after taking a bath and changing clothes.”
“Your Majesty seems to have understood my intentions already.”
The Lord Helenes is also the god of love and also the god of marriage.
Maybe it’s because it’s a religion that worships such a goddess, and it’s said that marriages among priests are not encouraged, but even encouraged.
When a man and a woman after washing their bodies run into each other, how will they react?
I don’t have the confidence to leave Stella, who just came out of the shower and wipes her damp hair with a towel, smiling.
It’s not just me, it’s the same for other male priests and female priests.
Where is a woman who can’t keep an eye on a handsome man after washing his face?
“And milk is provided free of charge after washing up.”
“That’s another welfare benefit.”
“Isn’t it? We’re a religion leading the fight against hunger, malnutrition and illiteracy, and we run the world’s largest animal husbandry business.”
It is said that they are running a company that raises cattle and sheep in one country and sends grain to poor and struggling countries free of charge.
In the past, we supported products such as canned food that can be stored for a long time and processed products such as cheese and butter.
With the development of magic combining science and magic, raw milk, meat, and grains
Maxis’ eyes began to twinkle as he said he was proud to be able to apply anywhere in the world.
“Could it be that there is no hunger or malnutrition in this world?”
“I can say no. No matter where you go, no matter where you go, you can eat and study for free at our denomination’s church.”
“That’s… That’s amazing. It’s admirable.”
“Your eminence is to be the husband of such a group leader. You can be proud.”
His face turned red at Sith’s words.
Because I could not have imagined that it would be a religion doing such a great job.
Hunger, malnutrition, illiteracy.
Since 1600 when the concept of social welfare appeared
It was the goal that the world’s leading powers dreamed of and hoped for,
The fact that religion has succeeded that no hegemon has ever succeeded in
I felt a sense of admiration and awe.
“And the restaurant. The food distribution is autonomous and it is operated in a buffet style.
You can take whatever you want.”
“Serving such delicious-looking food in a buffet style…”
“hahahahaha, it means that we will take care of the labor of priests.”
“I guess…”
The pope said it wouldn’t be too hard
The more I looked around the facility, the more I saw nothing but hard work in my future.
*
“This is the private room where His Excellency will stay for a while.”
“Ohh… That’s pretty roomy.”
Because it is the room of a low-level priest with the lowest rank among priests,
I was worried that it might be a poor place to live alone, but I guess it was over.
The room Maxis showed me was a 5 pyeong room with a bathroom attached.
The light-emitting magic tools that were also hanging in the palace where they were just now were also hanging from the ceiling.
“For three days from today, we are going to receive training for new low-ranking priests.”
“Can you take it all day?”
“hahahahaha, if you play hard like that, all the would-be priests will run away.
It lasts four hours a day in the afternoon, so don’t worry, it’s over before dinner and washing up.”
Lunch ends at 1:00 and ends at 5:00.
It’s 11 o’clock in the morning, so lunch will start soon.
“Come to think of it, how many new low-ranking priests did you say besides me?”
“There are 30 jockeys in total this time.”
“Are they also assigned to private rooms?”
“You’ll be getting it for a while now.”
Whew…
I’m glad.
At least, I almost jumped out alone among my classmates.
It seems that those people have just met for the first time and are completely blank.
Maybe it’s possible for me to become friends with them too.
“And after eating and washing up, what do we do?”
“Of course, it’s your personal time from then on. You can enjoy the facilities in the church.
You can go out to the village… Instead, there is a curfew in the dormitory, so you have to come in before then.”
“What happens if you miss the curfew?”
“It’s nothing special. It’s just that I can’t come into the dorm until 6:00 in the morning.”
It seems there is no such thing as a penalty.
Well, priests are all adults, so there’s no reason to suppress them.
It seems that some people commute from their own homes.
After asking all the questions, he nodded.
The pope introduced Maxis as a muscle wizard, but his practical skills were better than I thought.
He seems like a good fit for a mid-level manager.
“Actually, I’m a priest, so I’m a middle manager.”
“I…Really?”
I thought so, but it seems that he is really a mid-level manager.
In the Church of Helena, people are distinguished by hierarchy, and by the cross embroidered on their clothes.
Come to think of it, a blue cross was embroidered on Maxis’ clothes.
“Then I’ll have lunch and see you during training, yea.”
“Maxis… Thank you for your hard work.”
“hahahahaha, it’s enough if you call me Maxis.”
“Isn’t a low-ranking priest supposed to do that?”
It was only then that Sis understood it, muttering, “I see,” And then nodding his head.
He said goodbye once more and went out.
My father-in-law seems to have assigned more advanced manpower to me than I thought.
