Please Stop The Pope

2 hours.

That was the time it took for Luna, who had just arrived on Earth, to become the hottest topic in Korea.

ㄴSisteeeeeeer

ㄴWowㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why is she so pretty?

ㄴSister, I’m dying~

ㄴIf she came out of the gate, isn’t she 100% a being from another world? But how does she speak Korean?

ㄴDoes it matter if she’s from another world or space? As long as she’s pretty, it’s all goodㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴWhere do I fill out the Limen Church membership application?

The fact that the Hive Guild was doing a live streaming had a huge impact.

Although the Hive Guild immediately made the replay of the video private, many netizens had already started capturing and spreading Luna’s image from the video.

A beautiful appearance that anyone had to acknowledge, and combat skills that didn’t fall behind even when facing the aces of the Hive Guild alone.

The charms Luna showed in the broadcast in a short time were more than enough to make her a star.

Just looking at the comments asking when the video featuring Luna will be uploaded on our church’s official YouTube channel, one could guess the level of public interest in Luna.

If it were an ordinary person, most would find such attention burdensome, but…

“I thought when His Holiness wouldn’t fall for my seduction no matter what, the aesthetic taste of Earthlings was different. But seeing this, it’s not. As expected, was it just His Holiness who was a bit unique?”

Our Luna Lebenthon looked very satisfied.

As soon as she arrived at the temple, Luna was monitoring the internet reactions through Leo’s smartphone.

She said she had to monitor her debut reactions or something.

“And how did you learn to use a smartphone?”

“Oh, you know. It’s all thanks to the grace of use given by Limen.”

“The grace of use applies to smartphones too?”

“Seems so?”

The grace of use given to Luna by Limen.

As the name suggests, those who receive the grace can “use” anything.

It’s literally grace.

Starting from tools and weapons on a small scale, to larger-scale machines on a wider range.

Luna could use anything she touched.

Personally, I thought it was the most munchkin-like grace among the graces bestowed upon the prophets of the Limen Church.

In fact, Luna mastered all weapons through that grace, so the effect was truly excellent.

I didn’t know that grace would apply to smartphones as well.

Compared to Eden, there are numerous machines on Earth where engineering is overwhelmingly advanced.

The same goes for weapons.

I should make time to visit a military base with Luna someday. I’ll have to test whether the grace applies to weapons like helicopters or fighter jets.

“Honestly, Your Holiness must be really happy that I’m here, right?”

“…Let’s say so for now.”

“Hoho, you’re shy. Still so cute.”

Putting aside the fact that Luna caused trouble from the start, Luna’s addition was a big boon for the church.

Apart from Luna’s tremendous combat power, Luna was one of the mascots symbolizing our Holy Church.

In other words, she had tremendous star quality.

If that was the case even in Eden, where means of broadcasting were limited, how much more so on Earth, where mass media is developed?

I guarantee,

“I’m already excited. If I had known this, I should have crossed over first.”

As she did in Eden, Luna will become one of the icons symbolizing our church on Earth as well.

And now that we’ve chosen YouTube as our main means of promotion, there’s nothing more reassuring than the existence of Luna, whose job is to receive attention.

Should I say she has the fate to shine brightly as a star in any world?

Anyway,

While Luna was skillfully using the smartphone like that,

Leo, who had been quietly standing and listening to our conversation, spoke in a blunt voice.

“Lady Lebenthon. Is everything alright at the Holy Church?”

He seemed curious about the news from Eden.

In fact, I was also curious. Limen told me there was something going on in Eden, but she didn’t tell me what it was.

Luna put down the smartphone she was holding at Leo’s question.

And she shrugged and said,

“Of course there are things going on.”

“What is it.”

“As soon as His Holiness returned to Earth, the demons hiding in the northern continent started acting up. Moreover, there’s intelligence that a ritual related to demons is underway in the southern archipelago… Well, it’s been hectic in many ways.”

I thought we had exterminated all the demons, but were they hiding in the rugged mountain ranges of the northern continent?

There seemed to be a reason why Limen was busy.

I frowned at Luna’s words and let out a sigh.

“In that situation, it would be rude to request additional dispatch.”

“Archbishop Bayer was already upset about it. His Holiness also returned to Earth, and Leo also headed to Earth… But it wasn’t the worst situation, so you don’t have to worry.”

Archbishop Bayer is the well-respected old man I appointed as my proxy before I returned to Earth.

I originally wanted to hand over the Pope’s position to him, but the Council of Bishops strongly opposed it.

They said an apostle directly appointed by Limen cannot relinquish the Pope’s position until just before death or something like that.

“Hmm.”

I guess my expectation that peace would come after eliminating the Demon Kings was just my expectation.

Hearing the story, I feel sorry.

“Your Holiness.”

Luna, who looked at my expression, continued in a gentle voice.

“It’s only natural for us to help Your Holiness. Your Holiness is the one who saved Eden. So you don’t need to feel sorry.”

Quite quick-witted.

I smiled at Luna’s words and nodded, and Luna laughed along with me and said,

“In that sense, shall we have a drink together tonight? I was really curious about what Earth’s alcohol tastes like.”

“Luna.”

“Yes.”

“I may be a stranger to doctrine, but is it okay for a holy maiden to like alcohol that much?”

She always brings up alcohol.

But Luna answered my question as if it was obvious, nodding her head.

“Only those who have fallen into alcohol can lead those who have fallen into alcohol to the right path.”

“…This is driving me crazy, really.”

Do I feel the same as the CEO of an agency that has a star who constantly causes trouble?

“I’m back.”

I actually returned home after 2 days.

Leo said he would stay at the temple with Seung-woo, but…

“Earth’s house is really interesting. How do they build these buildings without the power of magic? It’s really amazing.”

Luna followed me.

Since I’m going home after only 2 days, I’m feeling a bit conscious, and she even followed me, so I thought In-wook and Si-yeon would dislike it, but…

“Yo, you came together? You could have… told me before coming.”

“Wow! She’s a really pretty sister!”

In the face of lookism, my prediction was nicely off the mark.

I looked at In-wook and Si-yeon who were greeting us and let out a deep sigh.

“Why is the reaction much more intense than when Leo came? Especially you, In-wook.”

“…It’s a misunderstanding, hyung.”

“Oh, is this cute person Your Holiness’ younger brother?”

“Don’t call In-wook cute in front of me. It makes me want to puke.”

“Oh my, are you jealous right now? Your Holiness is cute too, so don’t be jealous. It’s troublesome if siblings fight over me.”

“What the he-“

I tried to say something harsh, but I saw Si-yeon’s round eyes.

So I just sighed and shook my head.

The answer to an aggro-type is indifference.

Let’s just not give her food.

Whether I sighed or not, Luna smiled and greeted my siblings.

“Nice to meet you, our cute siblings. I’m Luna Lebenthon. From now on, feel free to call me noona or unnie. It would be better if you speak comfortably to me too.”

Then In-wook carefully asks,

“But… is it okay?”

“Of course. In-wook. From now on, speak comfortably to this noona. I heard from His Holiness that you’re really good at video editing, In-wook? This noona will be relying on you in the future.”

“I, I’ll be the one relying on you…”

“Unnie! Can I call you unnie too? I’ve always thought it would be nice to have an older sister since I was young!”

“I’ve also always thought it would be nice to have a pretty younger sister! Are we fated?”

“Hehe.”

If there’s one thing in common between Leo and Luna, it’s that they both really like children.

Of course, unlike the blunt Leo, Luna is much better at handling children than Leo, thanks to her experience of raising four younger brothers alone when she was young.

I looked at Luna and smiled bitterly as I watched Si-yeon grinning from ear to ear.

As expected, being handsome or pretty is the best.

“Si-yeon.”

“Yes!”

“Why did you call Leo ahjussi last time, and call Luna unnie? Luna is 1 year older than Leo.”

Leo is 29, and Luna is 30.

If she calls Leo ahjussi, she should call Luna ajumma accordingly.

But at my question, Si-yeon answered as if it was obvious.

“That’s because…”

“Because?”

“Unnie is really pretty? Leo ahjussi is also handsome but… um, anyway, that’s why!”

I roughly understand what she means.

Leo is also handsomely masculine, but Luna’s beauty is on a different level.

If Leo is handsome by general standards, Luna won’t fall behind even by celebrity standards.

Although I’ve never met celebrities in person, I can guarantee it.

If handsome, it’s hyung or oppa, and if pretty, it’s noona or unnie.

That unchanging truth applies regardless of age or gender.

Ding ding ding.

Around the time Luna was building friendship with my siblings,

A call came in. The caller was, as you can see, Minister Yoo Seon-ho.

What could this person be calling for at this late hour?

He’s someone who usually calls during the day, so a call at night means there’s a significant matter.

Could it be related to Luna?

“Hello.”

As soon as I answered the phone, a polite and heavy voice was heard from the other end.

-Siwoo-nim. If it’s alright, would you like to go for a short walk together?

It seems he came directly to our house, so it must be an urgent matter.

I couldn’t ignore a person who was a minister coming to see me in person.

I clicked my tongue and then looked at Luna and my siblings and said,

“I’ll be out for a bit. You must be hungry, so eat first.”

“Normally, we eat together?”

“The conversation might get long. Luna, you don’t follow me either and eat with the kids.”

“Alright. Kids, I’m hungry. Let’s eat quickly!”

The quick-witted Luna took the kids to the dining table, and I quietly took the elevator down to the 1st floor.

And as soon as I walked out the front door, I soon saw Minister Yoo Seon-ho wearing a suit and a gray coat.

A physique and presence that was hard to believe belonged to someone over seventy.

That old spirit politely bowed his head and greeted me as soon as he saw me.

“Have you been well? I apologize for coming abruptly at this late hour. I feel heavy-hearted for interrupting your happy time with family.”

“It’s alright. It’s before mealtime. Shall we take a walk?”

“Certainly.”

Minister Yoo Seon-ho and I headed to the apartment walking trail we had walked before.

Perhaps the Ministry of Ability Management agents had controlled it in advance, but there was no one on the walking trail.

How long did we walk on that quiet walking trail?

Minister Yoo Seon-ho finally opened his mouth.

“I need your help.”

I initially thought he had come to discuss issues related to Luna, but apparently that wasn’t the case.

“There’s a problem at the Busan Ground Zero.”

Is this damn law of causality not going to let me rest?

I let out a small sigh at Minister Yoo Seon-ho’s words and replied,

“…Let’s hear the story then.”
