I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband

chapter 228



228 – Part 2 Episode 56, The culprit is found.

Someone is intentionally breaking a window by throwing a rock.

When this agenda was first brought up to the Council of Cardinals, no cardinals were particularly interested.

However, as the issue continued to be put on the agenda, the cardinals began to become increasingly irritated.

I don’t really care about the cost of glass replacement.

Consumables need to be replaced at some point, and the Church Bureau is currently developing a neutral area, so it has a lot of money.

Although it is an ironic situation that money is being made because of something that requires money to be spent, first of all, there is a lot of money.

So there was no problem with spending only about 30 silver coins in unexpected places.

However, the cardinal’s meeting is being prolonged due to the incident.

Even though the Knights Templar medical examiners are being mobilized, they have not been able to find it.

In addition, there is evidence that makes it seem like someone is deliberately confusing the investigation, as if it were a mystery mystery.

The anger gauge of the cardinals, who thought they were making fun of them, quickly hit the max.

Who are the cardinals?

Aren’t they the ones who actually lead this religious country?

“I think you’re looking down on me.”

“I think so too.”

The two cardinals present nodded.

Even though the two were gentle and peaceful cardinals, they could not tolerate being looked down upon or viewed easily.

Cardinals are figures who represent the religious order.

This is because looking down on oneself or viewing oneself easily is the same as looking down on and viewing the religious denomination itself.

“I think we need to catch him somehow and impose punitive punishment.”

“I second it.”

The two people, who had originally been in the position not to make a fuss because it would be resolved amicably, first made a request to the Pope.

The Pope, who was sitting in front of him, probably hadn’t imagined that those two would speak first, and moaned slightly while stroking his chin.

“Your Holiness, this matter must never be overlooked.”

“It’s already the twentieth time!”

“Hmm… What do you think, Your Majesty?”

The Pope paused for a while and then spoke to the person sitting at the head table, which was higher than the round table.

Although he looked the youngest among those present, he was higher in status than the Pope.

I usually don’t participate in cardinal meetings, but this time I happened to participate.

This was because her wife, the saint, was busy, and it was she who was in charge of restoring the glass.

“It is true that it is getting so bad that I fully understand the feelings of the cardinals who say that we must punish everyone.”

He crossed his arms and nodded.

He also went to repair windows with a holy sword 20 times, so there was no such nuisance.

A religious country is a country that primarily imposes reformative punishment rather than punitive punishment.

Even if he is a serial glass destroyer, there are probably many people who think it is better to control him through reform.

However, when the hero Elvin said that it is not a bad thing to punish one punishment, there is no one here who can oppose it.

Probably the most annoying thing here is the hero Elvin.

“Well… Isn’t the priority to catch the criminal first?”

Everyone nodded when he said that they should catch the culprit first and then think about it.

Because the situation is becoming a strange mystery, the culprit has not even been caught, and everyone here knows that there is no point in thinking about punishment.

“It’s not an easy task…”

“The Knights Templar will have to increase patrol manpower and coroners should also increase manpower to accelerate the investigation.”

“Yes, I will.”

The leader of the Knights and the Chief of the Coroners, who had jurisdiction over the church headquarters, nodded.

Even though they had already stretched it as much as possible, they could not find even a clue, so only a sigh escaped the head of the medical examiner’s mouth.

*

Even though I was working hard as an assistant priest, the calls continued.

When I wondered where it was this time, I found that the bathroom door on the first floor of the main building where our saint’s office was located was broken.

This time, as if following a mystery novel, shards of glass and stones were thrown from inside the bathroom to the outside.

I didn’t know if it was outside, but as I looked at the stones being thrown from inside, I felt pain in my head.

“Hi, are you okay?”

“Yes… more than that, this is a women’s restroom.”

The place I’m in right now is the women’s restroom.

Aside from the question of whether he can enter the women’s bathroom as a man, the fact that he entered the women’s bathroom is a clue that the culprit may be a woman.

“Besides that… last time, the door to the men’s locker room on the 5th floor was…”

“It was like that…”

I thought it was a clue… but it’s a shame.

Anyway, it still seems difficult to determine whether the culprit is a man or a woman.

Who on earth is the culprit?

In the case of the main building, there are a lot of people walking around, so if you throw a rock and break the glass, you will be caught right away.

Because it is made so that the inside cannot be seen from the outside?

Even so, someone must have seen the person running away quickly.

Wait… By the way, this was the main building.

To enter the main building, don’t you have to swipe your ID once?

Even when I worked in the administrative office before, I remember being bothered by having to carry my ID card with me every time.

“Are you defining all people who entered the main building as suspects and investigating them?”

“I checked in advance just in case, but there were no particularly suspicious people… It was confirmed that everyone stopped by the main building for a reason.”

I see… Then there really is no answer.

I have no idea where to start the investigation.

There isn’t a single clue…

“Kyoung~♬”

As I sighed and left the main building, Yongyong caught my eye.

It was also floating in the air with a very happy expression.

That guy… he said he would come out once in a while even if I told him to stay home…

It caught me today.

Yongyong is dull.

Even if you go back and try to catch it, you won’t notice.

The general perception is that spirits cannot be touched by anyone other than the contractor, so all spirits have a similar perception.

Thump!

I quickly snatched Yongyong and held him in my arms.

“Kyuung?”

Yongyong moves slowly because he wants to do something.

I guess he forgot that I’m the only one who can touch him.

“Yongyong, this guy. You said you shouldn’t just come out and wander around, right?”

“Kyoung~♬”

When he confirmed that it was me who was hugging him, he felt relieved and started acting silly.

A few people were staring, so we hugged each other and went into the main building and went back into the women’s bathroom, where the window was broken.

When Yongyong was taken inside, the coroners took a quick glance and began to continue the investigation.

Dragon spirits are rare, but they are often seen at our church headquarters.

But I guess our Yongyong can’t find the culprit.

Because spirits are sensitive to magical power, they can sense even very shallow magical energy that humans cannot sense.

“Yongyong.”

“Kyuung?”

“Do you want to see if you can feel human magic in this rock?”

When I pointed at a rock with my finger, Yongyong nodded.

He sat down on a small handkerchief placed on the floor and placed his head on a stone.

Did about two minutes pass like that?

He got up from the floor with a happy expression, as if he had found some clue, and started biting and pulling the clothes I was wearing.

“Kyaung!”

“What’s wrong? Do you want to go with me?”

“Kyaung!!”

I think we should go together…

The crying was loud, so I got out for now.

After getting out, Yongyong looks around and moves forward towards somewhere.

I scratched my head at that and followed Yongyong.

Write… I guess I shouldn’t have come out alone.

Should I take the knights now?

Now, even if you attack me with a sword or an axe, I have a lot of confidence that I won’t get hurt…

Nevertheless, I guess I can’t help but feel psychologically nervous because I think I’m going to find the culprit alone.

“Should I at least pull out the holy sword?”

There’s no need to pull out a holy sword just to catch a trick like breaking glass.

I just picked up a rock that was lying on the ground and followed Yongyong.

***

I followed Yongyong and caught the culprit.

Yeah… I caught it…

Following Yongyong, we headed towards the spirit shelter.

For a moment, I was convinced that the priest working here was breaking glass to relieve stress.

Work is very difficult here, isn’t it?

So, I thought breaking glass could be stressful.

But… it wasn’t a priest.

Yongyong entered the spirit shelter and approached the parrot spirit that was playing casually.

And then he bit the parrot spirit’s head in his mouth.

Don’t let them run away.

“…Yongyong… no way…”

“Kyaung!”

I couldn’t understand Yongyong’s words, but…

Judging by the situation, it appears that the parrot spirit broke the glass and took out the stone using some kind of floating magic.

In the process, the glass broke a little more and protruded on the outside, and we were investigating it in a strange direction because we thought we were imitating a mystery detective story.

“ha…”

“Kikluk?!”

As I sighed, the parrot spirit sitting on my shoulder tilted its head.

This isn’t a mystery, a mystery, or anything…
