178 – Sun and Moon – 7
Two pairs of green eyes and two pairs of blue eyes were staring at me and the staff in my hand. He seemed quite surprised.
“just… … VIP, sir… … ?”
Floretta creaked like a broken robot and opened her mouth at me. His face looked like he had a lot to say, but his tongue was so stiff that it didn’t seem to move properly.
“Honored guest, it is… … ?”
Luna took the place of Floretta, who only creaked. However, Luna’s condition could not be said to be very good either. The only thing I could do was barely open my mouth.
“What I said. So… … For now, it must be a holy relic.”
In terms of performance alone, calling a weapon that was far more trash than a broken straight sword, with nothing left aside from its appearance, as a holy relic made my conscience sting.
Even if you put 99 divine power on faith 99 and put the highest level divine spell on the devil with full buff, why is this kind of thing called a holy relic? It’s just a flashlight.
Looking at the damage alone, it was something that made me wonder if there was an inverse correction value, not a coefficient correction value. The first time I used it, I thought I had misunderstood the number of damage digits, so I really doubted my eyes.
However, from the viewpoint of the Seongguk, it was a holy relic, so what should we do? you should call it like that
“A holy relic… … .”
Luna lowered her head and muttered something. Towards the end, the volume dropped to the point where I couldn’t tell if he was talking or mumbling.
I approached Floretta, casually ignoring the stares pointed at me from all four directions, and held out the staff in my hand. Seeing that, Floretta’s eyes widened.
“Take it, Floretta. It’s yours.”
“… … Me, you mean?”
“Then, is there another Floretta here besides you?”
He waved his arm holding the cane lightly as a sign to receive it quickly.
Floretta put her hands together and carefully held them out. His hands were trembling violently. I wondered if I would ever be able to get this right.
He put the staff on the palm of his hand, and squeezed his knuckles to make a fist. It was because I thought that if I didn’t do this, I would miss it the moment I took my hands off it.
Floretta, staring blankly at the small sun emitting light in her hand, moved the staff to her left hand. The freed right hand stretched out to the little sun.
The right hand, which had reached right in front of the sun, hesitated in front of it for a moment before slowly stroking the glowing surface as if it had made a decision.
Luna, Stella, and Selene were staring at it as if possessed.
“It’s hot, Gee… … not… … .”
These were the first words spoken by Floretta, who had been stroking the sun for a long time.
No matter how you look at it from the outside, it looks just like the sun floating in the sky, but as if it was strange that it wasn’t hot at all, Floretta stroked it with moist eyes and raised her head.
Their eyes met with green eyes, filled with all sorts of emotions.
“My dear guest. this… … How did you find this holy relic?”
“Well. Did God tell you?”
I smiled lightly and replied in a joking tone.
The four of us here would easily notice that what I just said was meant to deflect the situation. You might even notice that I was avoiding an answer.
“… … Is that so.”
Unless you take it seriously that way.
“The sun… … .”
My joking voice and mischievous expression, and did God tell me? Floretta’s expression was very serious, as if she hadn’t checked the sentence that ended with the end slightly raised.
Of course, the Pope of the Moon, the Heretic Inquisitor, and the Heretic Inquisitor were no exception. All four of them took what I said very seriously.
“If you can hear the voice of God… … of course… … .”
‘I knew it.’
It was expected enough, so I wasn’t surprised at all. Rather, it would have been much more surprising if Floretta and Luna had taken my words as a joke in the current situation.
Anyway, if you think about it that way, there is no problem at all.
Considering my relationship with the popes, the addition of one holy relic only adds up to a pinch of salt in the sea. It means that even if you do this here, the relationship won’t change dramatically.
Did you hear the voice of God? This is what popes do every day. First heard by anyone other than the popes? I was the first to catch a creature abandoned by the gods, so what a new thing.
‘It’s not once or twice that I’ve done this.’
Looking back, I did a lot of amazing things.
Didn’t he interpret the revelations given by the gods, did he not return after subduing the Abyss Dungeon alone, did he catch the creatures abandoned by the gods, did he not receive the blessings of the gods, did he not hear the voice of the gods?
It’s been quite a while since I’ve done this and that. Finding the holy relic may have been a great achievement on its own, but it was just average when listed behind them.
Besides, I’ve firmly nailed it down not to publicize our relationship until I’ve given my permission, so what’s the point of going further?
It’s not that I did this without thinking.
“Luna.”
“… … .”
“Luna?”
“… … Yes, are you an honored guest?”
Luna, who had been staring at the small sun wrapped in angel wings shining in Floretta’s hand as if possessed by something, came to her senses and looked back at me.
The pupils were still half-blind.
“Can you tell me when the full moon will rise?”
“Today.”
After hearing my question, Luna immediately gave an answer without hesitation. I wondered if it was because he was the Pope of the Moon.
“… … Five.”
I didn’t expect this either. I never thought the full moon would rise today.

Just as ‘noon’ was required as a condition for activating the long live the sun easter egg, ‘full moon’ was required as a condition for activating the lunar easter egg. To put it bluntly, the full moon.
In the game, both were one-time events that appeared when a specific trigger was satisfied, so the activation difficulty was there, but it was different here.
Unlike noon, when you can set it at any time and wait for 12:00 noon, you have to wait until the full moon rises for the full moon. So I tried to comfort you by saying that I might not be able to give it to you right now.
But if today was the full moon, there was no need to comfort Luna. Just get it and give it. You won’t have to visit the popes again in line with the full moon cycle.
For reference, ‘Praise the Moon’ was not much different from ‘Praise the Sun’. At most, it is only distinguished by whether the back of the hand faces outward or inward.
‘I’ll wait until midnight, give Luna the wand, and go back right away.’
It was the perfect plan, in my opinion.
Luna looked blankly at the staff in her hand. A holy relic with two pairs of angel wings hanging above it, illuminated by the soft moonlight.
It was as if my throat had been blocked, and I couldn’t speak. The moment I opened my mouth, it seemed that other emotions would come out instead of words.
It was similar to Floretta. Floretta was also staring blankly at the small sun rising through the angel’s wings, holding the holy relic in her hand.
Luna’s slender fingers began to caress the full moon floating on the edge of the relic. The fingertips trembled.
It wasn’t cold.

Just like the sun wasn’t hot.
“… … Sister Seraphica.”
A familiar voice came. I slowly raised my head. Her brother was standing in the place where the purple eyes twinkled in the moonlight.
“U.S… … Can I accept this?”
It was a reasonable question.
The Popes have yet to pay even the full price of their own lives.
At most, it was all about holding a farewell banquet and promising to provide maximum convenience, but even that maximum convenience was not used a few times except when seeking holy water that was imbued with light.
I couldn’t properly pay for everything I owed my life, but I even accepted the holy relics that were not even recorded in the history of the kingdom. Now I was at a loss as to how to pay it back.
What did Seongguk do, and what did Floretta and Luna do to give them such favor? To the distinguished guests, what is Raphaella’s Holy Kingdom?
It wasn’t even that I handed over this holy relic in hopes of something.
He resisted their temptations and went outside, and in a few minutes came back with the door open and told me to go out with him because he had something to look for.
“… … I do not know either.”
It was also impossible for Luna to answer properly. Because there was no way I could know the thoughts of the VIP.
The Popes, who had been facing each other for a while, showed off their divine power at the same time as if they were weaving. As clear and transparent divine power flowed into the staff, the sunlight and moonlight became stronger.
White light and silver light pushed away the darkness and revealed the light.
“He told me to treasure this.”
As the honored guest returned to the empire with Selene’s help, he told me not to use it elsewhere and to just hold it. There was no need to catch heretics or defeat demons with this.
However, Floretta and Luna knew. The meaning of the word simply means that you want to save the gift you gave. He was ashamed to say it directly, so he said it in a sneaky way.
The popes knew.
“Even if you don’t say that… … Of course you would.”
The two hugged the holy relic that emitted their own light into their arms.
Even if you didn’t say that, I tried to cherish it. To some extent, when he had to choose between his life and the holy relic, he made up his mind to choose the holy relic without hesitation.
As soon as Floretta and Luna got hold of it, the Popes were recognized as their masters, and God himself taught them how to use it. It was nonsense.
No one else, even a distinguished guest who is much loved by the sun and moon, will not be able to use this wand properly.
It was natural. This is a holy relic created by the sun from the beginning for the pope of the sun, and the moon for the pope of the moon.
Except for the popes, they can’t properly draw even 1% of that power. It was a fact that I realized through the knowledge that flowed into my head from the holy relic.
“If you were a VIP, you would have known, Evangelina?”
“You must have, sister. yes. He must have been.”
If you are an omniscient and omnipotent guest, you must be aware of this fact, but what is the reason for telling you to hold on to this unless it means to save your gift?
After staring at the sunlight and moonlight for a while, the two opened their mouths at the same time, no matter who said it first.
“Evangelina.”
“Seraphika sister.”
And, as if he realized what the other person was trying to say, he smiled brightly.
I couldn’t just receive it like this. This grace had to be repaid, even if it meant giving up one’s entire life.
But, by what means?
If it is a woman, it has already been dedicated. The bodies of the noblest and purest women in the Holy Land were brought to Him.
Where did you just donate it? Rather, Floretta and Luna took on the role of immersed in the pleasure and even seduced the distinguished guests who came to the Holy Land after a long time without even trying.
This is how they are not serving, but just having fun together.
However, it seemed that the honored guest did not even want it when I gave him power and position.
If you wanted to, you could get the Pope of the Sun, the Pope of the Moon, the Heretic Inquisitor and the Heretic Questioner right now and take control of the entire Holy Land.
If the laity do not follow him, they will scramble to bow their heads in front of him if it is revealed that he is the one who has heard the voices of the sun and moon even though he is not the pope.
Not doing it even though you could do it meant that you weren’t interested.
Then there is only one way left. The sisters looked at each other again and smiled.
“Sister, do you think the same as me?”
“It will.”
The sisters still had a connection.
