185 – EP.9 Saint and Mary-1
***
Solacucier, Heretic Inquisitor Headquarters.
At midnight, Maria headed somewhere along the corridor where the faint moonlight leaked through.
Her footsteps were Lumen’s office, which led the Heresy Judge.
– smart
“This is Maria.”
“Come in, Sister Maria.”
Maria’s white hand knocked on the door, and after a while a voice was heard from inside the door.
As she opened the door and entered, Lumen, with a thick layer of fatigue under her eyes, stared at her.
She was reading the report with the moonlight coming through the window and the lantern on the desk.
“From tomorrow?”
Lumen asked Maria, who entered the room and remained silent.
“Yes, from tomorrow.”
“Here is the official schedule.”
Lumen handed her a piece of paper stuck on a wooden board.
Maria glanced over the paper for a moment.
“The schedule is…”
“It’s nothing special. I think you just have to observe the worship and meal times.”
Lumen gathered the papers and knocked them on the desk.
“Yes. I will assist the saint without any problems.”
Maria looked at Lumen with a determined expression.
Lumen laughed at Maria’s infinitely serious face.
“I’ve never doubted Sister Maria’s faith. Rather, the seriousness of everything bothers me.”
A rare sense of comfort dwelled on Lumen’s tired face.
“I have a slightly different opinion from the Pope.”
Pressing her eyes with her fingers, Lumen leaned her back against the chair.
“which….”
Since Lumen was always difficult to deal with, Maria was speechless.
“Did you hear that the saint went to Solacucia today and told the drill sergeant to swing his sword at him?”
“Oh, no. This is the first time I’ve heard of it. By the way, I’m sure the instructor didn’t really wield a sword, right?”
“No, I swung it. They said it was a clean cut from top to bottom.”
“How could you do such a crazy thing…!”
No matter how much the saint said, pointing a knife at the saint. Maria was hard to understand.
“So how did it go?”
“He’s all right. No, he didn’t even get a single scratch.”
Well, if he had been injured, the Church Headquarters would have been overturned.
Feeling ashamed that she seemed to be making a fuss for no reason, Marien looked down at the floor.
“There’s more to this than the fact that Brother Andrea wielded the sword.”
Lumen stared at Maria and said.
From that coy gaze, Maria knew she had something to say.
“The Holy Son told Brother Andrea to believe in himself and wield it.”
“Your move is unconventional.”
Maria said, recalling the saint she had seen on the scaffold and the saint now.
“There have been many saints, but this is the first time since the Solarium Church was created that a saint exists.
With a tap, Lumen tapped the desk with the tips of his fingernails.
“Anyway, the most important thing is this. The Holy Son will definitely be of great help to Sister Mary’s stagnant faith.”
I’ve heard that you’ve been having a lot of trouble lately.
Lumen added.
“How can I…”
When Maria hesitated, Lumen smiled.
“You can do as the Holy Son tells you to do.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Yes, then please go in. You will have to get a good night’s sleep to help the saint.”
“Okay. Enough then…”
Maria turned and grabbed the doorknob.
“Oh, Sister Maria?”
Lumen’s voice grabbed Maria’s shoulder.
“yes?”
“If, by any chance, the Holy Son visits Solacucier… please send someone to let us know in advance. We cannot welcome the Holy Son without preparation.”
“all right.”
When Maria closed the door and left, Lumen looked at the door Maria had left for a while.
She put the glasses on the desk again and turned her attention to the papers she hadn’t processed yet.
“Whoa…”
A long sigh escaped Lumen’s mouth.
“What is the Holy Son thinking?”
Why did he choose Maria among so many people…
It was difficult for Lumen to gauge In-ho’s thoughts.
***
the next morning.
Maria was waiting in front of In-ho’s room.
– Deng Deng Deng
Every time the bell rang in the distance, Mary’s hand went up and down the door of the saint’s room.
“Soon, it’s a worship service.”
The morning service, presided over by the bishop, was scheduled to begin within an hour.
Even if In-ho happens now, it’s hard to attend.
Unable to enter Inho’s room, Maria expressed her urgency by walking back and forth in front of the room.
When I put my ear to the room and checked the situation inside, I heard the saint’s even breathing.
Perhaps, he is still sleeping.
“Ah…”
A saint can’t attend worship because he’s sleeping?
When that happened, it was clear who would be held accountable.
After hesitating in front of the door for about five minutes, Maria knocked on the door with a determined expression.
“Holy Son, this is Mary.”
It was a knock he had already made over twelve times.
After knocking on the door for a final confirmation, she took a small deep breath.
“Sir, I’m sorry, but I’ll go in.”
– Kiki-Ik
When Maria carefully opened the door and entered, she saw the saint lying on the bed and sleeping.
The figure of him lying on the bed, breathing, looked rather pious.
Maria felt awe that was difficult to express, and moved stealthily to the side of the saint.
“……”
Maria bent down and called out to the saint in a quiet voice.
“Saint.”
Even at Mary’s call, the saint showed no signs of waking up.
– gulp
Maria swallowed once and put her hand gently on the saint’s shoulder.
And he shook his body very weakly.
“Holy Son, it’s time to get up. Actually… it’s a little late.”
“……”
The saint only frowned, but did not reply.
“Saint, saint… Kyaaak!”
Maria, who shook his body a few more times, was knocked down on the bed by the saint who suddenly pulled her arm.
“Stop, saint?”
The saint hugged him tightly as if he were hugging a huge teddy bear.
Maria froze in the same posture with a blushing face.
– pounding
My heartbeat gradually got stronger.
“Sir, Holy Son… If you do this…”
It wasn’t enough that Maria’s face turned red, it was ripe.
“Um…”
Maria’s breath tickled In-ho’s face, and the saint’s eyes trembled.
And his eyes slowly open.
“Well?”
His narrowed eyes widened gradually.
And, their eyes collide with each other.
“……”
“……”
The saint seemed to be working hard to understand the situation.
Maria was choosing words to explain the situation.
“I….”
And to explain the situation, the moment Maria opened her mouth.
“Ahhhhh!!! It’s a rapist!!!”
the saint screamed.
