chapter 198
198 – Part 2 Episode 26, New Holy Land.
A difficult task occurred to me when the nuns came to receive training for prospective priests.
It’s so unexpected that I’m just laughing.
Today is the Sabbath, a day of rest for most people except those who are self-employed or those in special service positions.
On Earth, it is a day that can be considered a Sunday and a public holiday.
On such a peaceful day, something difficult happened… You must be wondering what happened.
Unfortunately, something peaceful happened on a peaceful day and my peaceful day was broken.
It was because of the worship service.
Prospective priests cannot leave the training center unless accompanied by an assistant priest.
So even though it was my day off, I went to work for the nuns’ service!
The plan is to have fun playing with Luna.
Of course, that doesn’t mean the nuns did anything wrong.
What is wrong with devout religious people like nuns going to a church or cathedral to worship?
It’s my fault for being narrow minded…
Yeah…it’s my fault…
“Your Majesty… It’s okay for you to go back so we can just stay here…”
“No, we can’t just leave the attendant priests alone.”
If we’re going to go, we should all go together.
The attendant priests are working, so can I just go away?
A responsible owner is one who carries the burden together.
Anyway, I go home after the service is over.
“By the way, the nuns take quite a long time to worship.”
“I see… I always participate in worship, but this is the first time I’ve seen a service this long.”
Generally, worship services last from 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes.
That’s the extent of the worship service on Start Day, which is Monday in this world.
But for the nuns, it’s already been 2 hours.
With veils on their heads and hands on the Bible, everyone is reciting the same Lord’s Prayer.
Wow… the nuns are better than me.
In my time, there was no such thing as the Lord’s Prayer.
Well, in a way, is it natural?
This is because the roots of the Hellenic Church originated in the first place.
*
Since it was going to be a long time anyway, I decided to sit down.
Even if I stand up, my legs only hurt.
But the only place to sit is on the so-called church pews.
It’s great for secretly sleeping, but just sitting down is a pain in the butt.
“Then, shall we bring another chair?”
I really just said it without thinking, but Eri is already getting ready to go get a chair.
When we saw that, not only I but also Dave put their hands on our foreheads.
“Eri. I don’t want to make you do that.”
I’m just saying that.
Since I’m not a man who complains about things like that, I told him not to go and made him sit down.
The problem is that Eri takes too much care of me.
If I was going to order something like that, I would have asked Dave to do it, but would you rather have Eri do it?
I’m not trying to discriminate against men or women or anything like that, but… there’s no reason to send Eri away when powerful guys like Dave and Cain are playing around, right?
That’s not discrimination, it’s about being in the right place.
If Dave and Cain are working on another big project and I need a chair while I’m working hard, I might ask Eri.
However, in a situation where I am playing, there is no reason to ask Eri to do something like that.
“That’s it. I understand.”
“You really understand, right?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
You must be serious.
For now, let’s wait and see with suspicion.
Afterwards, we sat down and worshiped with the nuns.
What’s the point of sitting still? I should just pray to the goddess.
Goddess, Goddess.
I want to finish quickly and play with Luna.
Please give everyone here a revelation from God and tell them that enough is enough for today.
Then I will be happy because I can go back quickly.
Of course, I’m not the only one who’s happy.
Wouldn’t it be a good thing if the nuns who are planning to end their lives without ever hearing the voice of the Goddess could hear the voice of the Goddess?
So I prayed sincerely.
If it’s our capricious goddess…
– Well… it was the most messed up prayer since I became a god.
I guess you were really listening.
Could it be that our goddess hears everyone’s prayers?
I wondered if they were discriminating since no one other than Stella and the Pope had responded.
That doesn’t seem to be the case again.
‘Goddess… just this once…’
-No. If you give revelations like that, you feel sorry for other people, right?
‘Don’t you feel sorry for me and my daughter?’
By now, you’re probably crying because you miss your dad.
He’s not even a year old and he can’t even speak.
I don’t even recognize the existence of a father… but whatever.
– I can’t help it. Instead, it’s just this one time.
Wow, you gave up surprisingly easily.
Because I gave up a lot this time, the goddess may also lose once.
***
After the goddess’s revelation was made, there was an uproar.
It seems that receiving an answer from the goddess while praying is a very honorable and sacred thing.
Moreover, all 50 people received revelation.
So what is happening now?
Suddenly, I was called to the Pope’s office.
Could it be that you got caught?
“Yes.”
“Yes… father-in-law…”
Did you call me to scold me?
I was about to get scolded not too long ago, so I tried to control myself.
This time I wanted to rest quickly…
In the first place, wasn’t it all the fault of the denominational headquarters that made assistant priests work even though it was the Sabbath?
There’s nothing wrong with me?
Really none.
“I guess the Goddess was listening attentively because this was where her Majesty was.”
However, contrary to my delusions, my father-in-law smiles happily and strokes his chin and straightens his beard.
It seems like you’re misunderstanding something.
“I…I guess so.”
However, there is no reason to clear up this misunderstanding.
I also smiled and scratched my head, agreeing with my father-in-law’s opinion.
Yes, the reason the goddess was focused on this was because I, the warrior, was there.
Didn’t the Pope recently give a revelation for the first time in a long time?
That must have been one of the few precious things even to the Pope.
That’s because the goddess approached me to convey my situation.
But for something like that, you look a little troubled.
“It’s a good thing, but… I think it would be better for your Majesty not to follow the worship of prospective priests.”
Huh?
Rather, things are going in a good direction for me, right?
“I rather like it…”
“Then that’s a relief.”
Did I say something like this would be foolish?
Suddenly, I, as a third party, ended up taking advantage.
So, from now on, you can play hard with Luna on the Sabbath?
I feel sorry for the priests who served.
But now there is a cause!
A cause I can indulge in!
***
From that day on, the place where the nuns prayed became a holy place.
This is not just a drip, but it has become a sacred place designated directly by the church headquarters.
It is natural that 50 people received revelation at the same time.
And of course, people come to the holy place.
A foreign noble who is about to die comes riding in a palanquin, or an infertile couple comes holding hands…
The cumulative number of visits per week was about 100,000.
They say he was very busy that way.
Since we didn’t have to go out of the training center and we didn’t have a work-related relationship, it wasn’t that difficult.
For no reason, I felt sorry for our low-level priests and mid-level priest comrades.
“So? There are still a lot of people there now?”
“They say there are a lot of them? Even though only those inside the church headquarters can enter now, they say there are a lot of them.”
“Ha… I did something for nothing.”
“You can’t be… right?”
Only then did Dave look at me, saying he knew who the culprit was.
I felt like playing a prank, so I giggled and looked like a villain and looked at Dave.
“Have you finally noticed? Tsk tsk tsk…”
“Do you know how many priests got blisters on the soles of their feet today because of you?”
“If anyone were to see it, they would think it was a real dark place.”
He slammed his fist into Dave’s head and got up.
This guy was too immersed.
“Do you think I did it because I wanted to? It just happened to be like that.”
“You didn’t do that because you wanted to play with Luna and go home, right? You also asked the great goddess to do that.”
“…………………..Isn’t it?”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
Dave has shown more tact than I thought.
Anyway, after saying no a few more times, I left the living room and headed to the clock room.
I played with Luna too… I should start enjoying my hobbies too.
I still haven’t unpacked the new watch I bought a while ago.
A watch gains true value once you wear it and keep it.
The new watch for me now is not a watch, but something similar to it.
With that in mind, I took the elevator and arrived at the clock room…
Stella was standing in front of the room with a smile.
“Sister?”
“Ah! Sir!”
She smiled and hugged me, as if she had just finished work.
I also patted her back and consoled her for her hard work.
Because I made it happen.
I’m sorry.
“What is my wife doing here?”
“Hehe, I wanted to talk to you for a moment.”
“Okay, let’s go inside and talk.”
The good thing about the clock room.
This is because it is a room where there is nothing strange about what my wife and I do inside.
From daylight to nighttime.
Anytime.
