8 – Lesser Priest Training (2)
Maxis went outside and looked around the assigned room.
The structure of the room is like a simple studio with a toilet and kitchen.
It feels just like the house I lived in before.
After admiring the inside of the bathroom, I saw a desk right in front of me.
It was quite an antique design, so it was not burdensome.
You said that everything was ready.
I opened it to see if there was something in the drawer.
“All writing utensils are ready…”
I wonder how rigorous the priestly education is.
There were dozens of pencils, and notebooks were piled up in towers.
The times are the times, and the quality wasn’t bad either.
There was also a cutter knife, apparently intended for sharpening pencils.
“No big deal.”
Because it wasn’t particularly strange
I closed the drawer again and threw myself on the bed in the corner.
I thought it was a bed made of rice straw or something.
Unexpectedly, it was a soft bed with springs.
Is this the welfare of the lowest priest?
Then, when you become a priest, do you give Simmons a bed or something?
“Haa…Something is eventful.”
It’s not even 12:00 noon yet, and it’s not even been a day since I was summoned.
My relationship with the saintess has progressed a bit, and I plan to receive training to become a low-level priest.
And while receiving huge welfare benefits, didn’t they receive a private room for free?
And I feel comfortable lying down like this.
In the other world, simply lying down
What to do with money, what to do with dinner tonight
I thought of the problem of survival, but what about it?
Right now, I don’t think much of anything other than a simple saintess’s pretty smile.
I was filming the peak of waste just a few hours ago.
I’m a bit surprised by this change.
“It would have been better if I could have slept here.”
Unfortunately, I have to eat lunch soon and go to receive training for lower priests.
It is said that other new priests have almost all been assigned rooms.
I’ll call you soon.
*
– All new priests, please gather at the entrance on the 1st floor.
Surely, the sound of calling new priests was heard.
By the way, when I checked where the sound came from,
It was ringing from a square box attached to the ceiling.
“Wow… A technological revolution…Or a magical revolution?”
I don’t know anything about the history of this world
Isn’t this great?
Because broadcasting changed more history than I thought.
“This is not the time.”
If you are late from the first day of employment
I don’t know how to be photographed by high-ranking bosses.
Get out of bed, tidy up your messy clothes and hair
I ran out.
When I came out to the entrance on the 1st floor, I saw people who still looked awkward in clerical uniforms with gray crosses on them.
Standing with a nervous face.
Seeing that, I started to get nervous for no reason
I quietly went to the back and stood in line.
And waited 5 minutes.
It was only then that a person wearing a priestly uniform with a blue cross appeared from afar.
If it’s a blue priest’s uniform, it’s at least a low-ranking priest.
Everyone standing here kept their mouths shut and took an immovable posture.
I didn’t move at all.
“Well, all the priestly candidates selected from various places have gathered. Welcome.”
“””Thank you”””
“I really like your loud, roaring voice. The priests of the other riders have low voices…”
Um… What should I say?
I don’t think he’s a bad person, but should I say he’s too shy?
I’m sure you haven’t said hello yet.
I heard the priest standing in front of me talking to himself.
Five minutes had already passed.
“Hmmm… It’s been too long, I’m sorry.
I am the lowly Styx priest in charge of your education, please take good care of me.”
I almost said goodbye in an instant
Since everyone didn’t say hello, I kept my mouth shut.
If you say hello once, even if you have something to say hello
It seems that it is polite not to say hello.
“Starting today, you will receive a week of training before becoming a low priest.
The education is not harsh and will not test your mettle.”
If training for new recruits is harsh, wouldn’t that be absurd?
If you feel the pain from the beginning, everyone will be hit.
“Because all of you who are already here already have the qualifications to become priests in the name of the goddess Helenes.”
However, I got a very religious answer, different from what I expected.
You’re still just a priest apprentice?
“Why are you so sure? That’s because the goddess has already recognized you.
The fact that everyone is wearing that suit is proof of that.”
The priest who continued to speak loudly as if declaring to everyone
I put my hand on the book I was holding.
Anyway, that seems to be something like a bible.
“For the next week, if you properly complete the education we will teach you,
As the son of the goddess Helenes, I assure you that you will be able to become a proud priest.”
And, when everything was said, the classmates suddenly started clapping.
I was automatically clapping because I was deeply moved too.
The priest was satisfied seeing us like that.
“Then…”
Are you already going into training?
I want to quench my dry throat like the desert
I gulped and swallowed.
“Shall we go for lunch soon?”
Then, the low-ranking Styx priest began to laugh loudly.
For some reason, it seemed like he had a similar feeling to Maximis.
Are all the people of the Hellenes Church laughing cheerfully like Maxis?
***
“Whoa…!”
Today’s training is over.
I come home after eating until dinner, I’m full and I can sleep, but
I had to leave this soft and fluffy bed in order to do the ‘daily duty as a priest’ that I had just learned.
“It is a priestly virtue to bathe cleanly every day…”
Because I like to take a bath
I thought it was not a bad doctrine.
‘The body of a worshiper must always be clean and clean.’
What is the doctrine of priests who should set an example for all believers?
In a way, it can be seen as natural.
Come to think of it, there was a toilet bag in the corner of the bathroom.
I immediately opened the bathroom door and opened the toilet bag that caught my eye earlier to check inside.
“Toothbrush, razor, grime towel, soap, shampoo…Do you have shampoo?”
When I opened the cap, I could smell the shampoo with the smell of citrus fruits.
It spread all over the room.
With this smell, it was certain that both men and women would be seduced by the opposite s*x.
Then I went out with two towels and a toilet bag provided in the bathroom.
When I came out, a man I had become friends with during lunch started talking to me.
“Hey, Alvin. Are you going to wash up too?”
“You Dave too?”
“Washing is said to be a virtue of a priest. Of course I have to go and protect it.”
My real name is ‘Kim Jae-sang’, but it was a form of a name that does not exist here.
I changed my name to ‘Alvin’.
I remembered the name of the captain who is wearing the wings of freedom
It’s a name I came up with suddenly, but it’s not bad
On the contrary, I think it’s okay.
And the name of the guy who talked to me was Dave.
It seems that they arrived here a while ago, not from the Church of Hellenes, but from a foreign country.
Hearing that he was also an orphan who grew up without a single parent,
For some reason, I felt a sense of kinship, so I was speechless.
“If it’s a low priest’s salary, there’s no problem with having a wife.”
“Uhhhhh… Dave has a girlfriend?”
“Should I call her a girlfriend…”
Should Dave speak or not? He made a worried face.
‘It doesn’t matter.’ After muttering briefly, he began to speak with a wry smile.
“I have a fiance I left behind at home.”
“Fiance…”
“Twenty is enough, aren’t you?”
“No… I don’t have one…”
There is.
I can never say that it is a saintess yet.
If I tell you here
There will probably be a disaster.
“What, I told you.”
“…Just think of it as being around.”
“Around the neighborhood? Could it be that you are among the new priests we trained with earlier?”
“That…It’s not that…”
“Then already a formal priest? Or maybe… A priest level?!”
I don’t know what you’re misunderstanding.
I just laughed bitterly when I saw him standing on a strange leg.
Let alone a priest, it was difficult to say that he was the highest authority of the Hellenes Church.
We entered the bathroom, passed through the central living room, and entered the men’s locker room.
In the central living room, men are showing off their bodies in muscular poses.
I could see the women wearing gowns and having a conversation.
And I saw a man and a woman talking.
It was also seen that they were getting along well while touching each other’s bodies.
Is that it?
There is no distinction between men and women in the Shinto shrine.
It seems like they get along well with each other and have fun.
