Chapter 119. my name is tom
“I couldn’t trust anyone.”
After a commotion passed, Landis said with a grim face.
It was when he had just returned to the Vatican from an outside schedule that he felt strange.
The cardinals, who normally conducted religious activities in a gentle way, were greedy for food, money, alcohol, and women, and the pope began to bring a young boy into his residence.
The problem is that no one in the Vatican found this phenomenon strange.
‘Moderation is the beginning of unhappiness. Cardinal Landis.’
They naturally justified each other’s actions and found Landis strange.
Landis, who was the only one who was fine, recorded their actions one by one and started investigating to find out the cause.
However, no matter how deeply I looked, it was difficult to find the cause.
There was no trace of the Magi anywhere in the Vatican, and even when examining the bodies of the cardinals, there were no signs.
“It’s easy to hide the mark from the Cardinals. Landis-sama would know.”
said Aaron.
The cardinal was skilled in finding traces of the demons, but it was not easy to find out if the same cardinal made up his mind and hid it.
At least, ordinary demons could keep watch and catch the moment of betrayal, but even that was impossible for spirit-type demons like Belial.
“That’s why no one believes me. Cardinals, His Holiness the Pope, even high priests who felt strange like me.”
Landis saw the eccentricities of the Vatican people and rejected all the priests who offered to help.
He knew very well how vicious the demons and demons were.
If this was really the devil’s trickery, it could have corrupted even that.
After trying hard to find the cause, the only thing Landis believed was the Bible.
It was because of the expectation that the Sephiroth would give a solution to this phenomenon.
But think about it for a moment.
A few days later, it was written in the Bible that the saintess and Archbishop Vinkel had to be killed.
“I thought the Sephiroth had abandoned us.”
When everyone in the Vatican became obsessed with desire and even the only Bible they believed in told them to kill the saint, an indescribable sense of despair came.
If Aaron’s party had not come today, he would have sunk alone without being able to solve the riddle forever.
“Light somehow enters through a hole smaller than the eye of a needle and illuminates the darkness. It was like that a thousand years ago, and it is like that today.”
Nesty looked at Aaron and said.
Landis nodded as if agreeing with him.
“After hearing what you’ve done, I can understand why Yeha is so obedient. But it won’t be easy this time.”
All Aaron has ever dealt with is a public enemy that can be killed at any time.
However, if they attacked the cardinal and the pope again in order to expel Belial, a very embarrassing situation would arise.
“you’re right. Cardinal Landis now knows our innocence, but not the other priests. You will have to think and act carefully.”
Vinkel added a word and looked at Aaron.
“Aaron. How are you going to purify the Bible?”
After meeting Landis and seeking cooperation, Aaron only said that he was going to infiltrate the Holy See, but he hadn’t told him how he would move.
Aron opened his mouth as the party’s gaze focused.
“I will use the Holy Spear Brunak.”
“Is it a holy spear?”
“You mean the voice?”
“The holy spear?”
Nesty, Vinkel, and Landis asked back in surprise at the same time.
The Holy Spear, Brunak, is a spear of light that fell from the sky when Zeros was in danger a thousand years ago.
The hero of Zeros, Paladin Perinon, saved Zeros from danger with the spear.
“Are you saying you know where Brunak is?”
Gaos pouted and said.
After the Great War, the part of Brunak’s hilt was exhibited in the Hall of Heroes of the Empire, and the more important spear point was managed by the pope for generations.
Only the pope knows the location of the spear point and it only appears at the coronation ceremony of the next pope, so it was questionable how to find it.
“know.”
Aaron took parchment and a quill from his pockets and started drawing.
A few minutes later, a large room appeared on the parchment, exuding a solemn and sacred atmosphere.
“oh… … .”
An exclamation escaped from the mouths of those who were watching.
The morning sunlight through the window and the vivid water drops falling from the plants.
It was painted so realistically that it seemed that the objects in the painting would jump out at any moment.
“This… Isn’t it the Pope’s room?”
Landis, who had been watching the painting carefully, spoke in a trembling voice.
Even he, a cardinal, has never been to the Pope’s room a few times, so he doesn’t know the structure, but a noble son from the far west frontier knows this in detail.
I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it with my own eyes.
“you’re right. Brunach is this, this, this… And when you move it, it appears. His Holiness must make the move himself.”
Aaron nodded and pointed to various objects in the painting.
The eyes of the party moved dizzy to about a dozen items, including the flowers on the small table, the portrait of the previous pope, and the fourth leg of the bed.
“You have to move so many things? And the Pope… No, the Holy Father himself?”
Gaos asked with a puzzled face.
It’s not like they secretly infiltrated and stole it, but the pope had to take it out himself.
It would have been better to find another way.
From noble mtl dot com
“I can do enough.”
Aaron said confidently, then rolled up the picture and put it in Gaos’ hand.
“… … Why are you giving this to me?”
Gaos looked at the parchment in his hand with anxious eyes.
Aaron patted his head and smiled.
“you can do it. Our Gaos.”

“His Holiness. Divine Guard Markut has arrived in Zeros.”
Around noon when the sun rises in mid-sky. The dining room of the Holy See.
A paladin came up to the middle-aged man who was eating and said.
“Um, did you finish your mission?”
The man nodded, picked up a napkin, and wiped his mouth with an elegant gesture.
The Pope, Barante, was a person who ascended to the papal office at a relatively young age, and was an elite who received thorough education from a young age.
With her intelligent hair, golden hair resembling the sun, and glowing skin, she was perfect as an agent of the goddess, and thanks to this, she would receive the admiring gazes of many priestesses when she went out on an outside schedule.
“yes.”
The paladin nodded.
“Except for Count Arnin and a knight named Raast, no other party was seen.”
“Are you simply invisible, or did the Divine Guard really deal with it?”
“I haven’t asked about that yet, but I could tell that it was handled through Count Arnin.”
The paladin continued with confidence.
A little while ago, he received a report that there was a big commotion in downtown Zeros.
The protagonist of the uproar is none other than Count Arnin.
He was very angry at his grandson’s death and was causing a riot in downtown Zeros.
There have been no casualties yet, but as an Arch Mage, if he continues rampaging, an area of the city could be devastated, so a quick suppression was necessary.
“Hmm, did you say you couldn’t handle it alone, Marcus-sama?”
“… … yes. A knight named Raastra is helping the Count. We urgently dispatched Paladins, but it is difficult to even approach because there is already a lot of magic.”
“I dealt with the defector myself, but it’s shameless.”
The pope tutted and clicked his tongue, then tore off a grape and put it in his mouth.
“Ask the other Divine Guards.”
“yes? But they… … .”
“If you tell me, just say I understand and walk away. Can’t you see I’m eating?”
When the paladin hesitated, the Pope shot him.
Grape juice mixed with saliva splashed all over the paladin’s face.
“Go and ask the Divine Guards. If you tell me your brother is under attack, he will surely help you.
“… … All right. His Holiness.”
The paladin wiped the juice from his face with a firm expression.
“Is there anything else to do, Sir?”
When the paladin did not back down after answering, the Pope looked at him again.
The paladin quickly replied in case he would spit again.
“that… Cardinal Landis has come.”
“Cardinal Landis?”
The corner of the Pope’s mouth went down.
As soon as Landis returned from an outing a few days ago, he turned the Vatican upside down by arguing with all the cardinals and the pope.
Recently, he went back to his place of residence and thought he had finally calmed down, but he came again.
Thinking of the nagging he was going to do made my head hurt already.
“I’m going to say something nonsense again. Just say no.”
“He said he had something to give to His Holiness and said he really wanted to see it. I’ll wait for you to meet me… … .”
“all right. okay.”
At the paladin’s continued words, the pope waved his hand as if he was annoyed.
He tossed the few remaining grapes in one bite and stood up with a voracious grunt.
“Are you here? His Holiness.”
Upon entering the drawing room, Landis stood up to greet him.
“Nice to meet you. Cardinal Landis. What are you here for today?”
The pope sighed as he received the greeting, with an openly annoyed expression on his face.
Landis silently gestured toward the sofa next to him.
Then, a young boy who had been hidden behind the back of the sofa suddenly appeared.
“hello. Pope. My name is Tom.”
The light-skinned, brown-haired boy raised his hands in front of him and greeted them hesitantly.
As if it had already been cleaned, a good scent wafted from it even though it was only a few steps away.
“His Holiness said he was looking for a child seeking the teachings of the light, so I brought a child I know. He is a child from the slums he often visits, but his intelligence is not average, so it will be fun to teach him.”
Landis patted Tom’s head and smiled.
cluck-
The Pope swallowed blatantly as he looked at Tom.
It was the trend of the Vatican that started a few days ago, revealing the desire that comes from the heart without adding or subtracting.
“… … Cardinal Landis finally understands my heart.”
The Pope stared at Tom for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction.
‘I’m going crazy.’
Tom, or Gaos, trembled at the greedy pope’s eyes.
According to Landis, the children who had gone into the Pope’s chambers never came out again.
I have no idea what the heck he was doing with the kids, but it definitely wasn’t a pleasant thing.
“Tom will make sure I take good care of him. If there is another child who misses the bosom of God, please bring it anytime.”
“All right. His Holiness.”
Landis bowed politely and looked at Gaos for a while before leaving.
“Let’s go. Tom.”
When Landis disappeared, the pope held out his hand with a kind smile.
Gaos hesitated for a while, then reluctantly took his hand.
“… … yes. Pope.”
* * *
“great job. Shade.”
A few minutes after Pope and Gaos leave.
Someone’s voice came from the shadow behind the sofa.
[-lol. It was nothing.]
Soon, an exceptionally dark shadow wriggled as if it were alive and spewed out two people.
Aaron and Nesty.
The two infiltrated the Holy See with the help of Shade, the spirit of darkness.
There weren’t many dark places in the Vatican, so it was difficult for Shade to show off his abilities, but Landis was ahead of him and warned him of the danger, so he was able to come to the parlor.
“I’ll call you next time. It’s fine to go back.”
[-okay. I’ll be playing with Sylph, so call me quickly!]
After completing the mission, Shade left a lively greeting and went back to Cosmos.
“Can Gaos do well?”
said Nesty, looking anxiously at the parlor door.
The pope’s eyes as he looked at Gaos a moment ago were like those of a beast licking his lips over an unresisting prey.
“As I said earlier, the pope did not call the children to abuse or kill them. As long as you don’t confront it openly, you won’t die.”
“… … What the hell are you doing? Please tell me now.”
Aaron only said that the pope was not in danger, but he did not say for what purpose he was collecting boys.
It was because it was obvious that if Gaos’ personality was told that, he would swear that he would never go.
“The Pope actually has hobbies that no one knows about. that… … .”
In a quiet voice, Aaron told the pope about the twisted desires he harbored deep inside.
“… … I think I will throw up.”
By the end of the story, Nesty’s face turned blue.
