Ah, ah. Wait, wait! Yesterday, yesterday, that unlucky guy… No way?

    “Fortunately, they don’t know your name. They just demanded that you hand over the small adventurer with big glasses and shabby clothes. I dealt with them separately and barely managed to send them away. However, I’m sure they’ll come looking for you again. I hope you’ll show up like that for a while.”

    “Glen, what have you done? Did you beat up someone again?”

    “Hey, y’all! Again! Am I the type of person who throws punches so easily?”

    “Then what is it?”

    “That, that…”

    Glenn thought about pretending not to know for a moment, but it seemed too late. So he thought about telling the truth, but he felt someone else’s presence and turned his head.

    Three Air Grants cult members who were talking amongst themselves had interrupted their conversation. To be exact, it was Saint Milicia. Milicia spoke to Glenn with curious eyes.

    “Glen? What’s going on? I think I just heard something about you.”

    “Uh, Milishia, that, that…”

    “You called me Milishia…?”

    Suddenly, Sister Esther heard Glenn’s words in a sinister voice and muttered something.

    Oh, it’s scary. Why is that person, with his smiling face, scary?

    More than that, Glenn was at a loss as to what to say. Should I tell you the truth? I really don’t want to burden you… Okay, let’s do that. Let’s just tell the truth.

    “Well, actually…”

    Glenn began to tell a series of events, little by little. His sister came to see him about a week ago. He helped her get a job. He protected his sister when she was threatened by the second son of the swindler.

    When Glenn spoke of his sister, the saint covered her mouth and looked extremely shocked, and Briwen glared at Glenn as if to say, “Did something like that happen? Why didn’t you tell me?” The two members of the Airgrants Church, who didn’t know Glenn well, simply nodded and asked, “Did that person have a sister?”

    And the guild master who had been the first to ask for an explanation muttered while touching his chin.

    “Hmm. I heard that your blood relative came to visit. Did something like that happen, you?”

    “Hmm. It’s been a while since I’ve shown my brotherly side. But it’s annoying.”

    Briwen said that with a puzzled expression. Glenn felt uneasy because it didn’t sound like encouragement at all.

    “Oh. As expected, Glenn is a man of integrity. When he helped the saint in both material and spiritual ways, I thought he would be that kind of person, but as expected…”

    Oh, no. It wasn’t something I did with such good feelings that I deserved to hear such words. Glenn felt a prick in his conscience at the Benedict monk’s pure praise.

    And Sister Esther…still smiled at him, but she didn’t stop giving off an ominous vibe. No, what the hell is that guy!

    “Oh my goodness…you’re trying to find someone who did something righteous and threaten them. Don’t worry, Glenn!”

    “Oh, yes?”

    Milicia suddenly approached and grabbed Glenn’s hand. Warmth and vitality were transmitted to Glenn’s right hand, which was held by the saint’s two hands.

    No, it was real. It was definitely some divine magic. Isn’t this ‘heal’?

    It wasn’t Glenn’s mistake. The saintess’s feelings for Glenn unconsciously activated divine magic and spread to Glenn. The two people who were skilled in divine magic were terrified.

    “Seo, Your Majesty?”

    “That man…how dare you…mumble, mumble…”

    “There is nothing shameful about that act of protecting your family, that righteous act. Glenn. If by any chance, if by any chance those guys come back, please ask me for help! I will fight against them as your representative! ”

    “Oh, that, Mil…Lissia. There’s no need to do that…Besides, a fight? I already did it before…”

    “Glenn. The fight I’m talking about is not a fight involving physical movement and physical damage to the opponent. It’s a fight against the use of power to intimidate people. It’s okay, Glenn. Please trust my position and my abilities. Just as you helped me, I will help you this time!”

    Ah, Militia… As expected of you…

    At that moment, behind Milicia’s back, who was looking at herself again, it seemed as if wings had sprouted like an angel’s.

    As expected, you’re offering a helping hand like this. Yes, I knew it. If it were you, you wouldn’t just let it go after I revealed my circumstances like this. So…

    Yes, you are the most noble and beautiful person of all. Glen unconsciously took his free left hand into his arms. He felt like now was the moment.

    “Okay. Don’t worry too much, Your Lady. Haha. Such threatening demands are common in the guild. If Glenn behaves well, it will die down soon. Besides, both Glenn and Your Lady are having the inauguration ceremony tomorrow and will be leaving for a trip in two days. Isn’t that right, Glenn?”

    “…”

    “Glen?”

    “Hey, what are you doing?”

    “Oh, yes. Yes! That’s right. That’s right! Hahaha! ”

    Eeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Glenn barely managed to pull the words out of his mind and returned to reality. He raised his voice, looking at the slightly regretful Milicia in front of him. He barely managed to give an answer to the puzzled Guildmaster and Briwen.

    It was dangerous. This time, it was really dangerous. Seriously, I almost rushed in like Grace had advised, regardless of the danger!

    He, he almost committed a huge act, not in a dirty way…but in a different way!

    In front of these people! In front of these people!!!

    Especially, I almost did that in front of that evil sister who was giving off an aura that seemed like she was going to kill me, and was just smiling! That person is really dangerous! She must be trying to kill me with her aura!

    Just as Glenn was sweating profusely, someone appeared to break the mood. It was a monk with his hood pulled down who appeared at the entrance of the room.

    In a deep voice, he announced some news to the people in the room.

    “The bishop is entering.”

    Intro? It was an expression used when visiting high-ranking officials, and it was the first time I heard it in a long time.

    “Oh, you’re here already.”

    At those words, the saintess turned her body with a smile on her face and headed toward the entrance. Benedict and Sister Esther also stood up as if they were used to it and headed toward the entrance. The guildmaster and Locke did the same.

    Oh, there was such a cultural etiquette? It wasn’t like that during the duel. Glenn didn’t know that the sacredness of a duel was much higher than a bishop’s procession.

    For a moment, he and Briwen, sharing the same immaturity, rose awkwardly from their seats.

    As before, a man dressed in bishop-like attire entered the room, accompanied by several attendants. When Glenn had seen him before, the old man’s face had been much more haggard, but today he looked brighter.

    Still, the expression on her face was quite solemn and heavy. Among the group in the room, Saint Milicia was the first to speak.

    “Bless you. I would like to thank you for visiting the cathedral today, Guildmaster.”

    “I hope you are well, Bishop. The guildmaster and his attendant, Locke, and Glen and Briwen, who will be joining me on my journey.”

    “Good morning, Bishop Abraham. Are you feeling better now?”

    First, Bishop Abraham bowed his head heavily and greeted the visitor. Then he raised his head, sighed, and spoke to the guildmaster. His words were filled with quite complicated feelings.

    “Guildmaster Rashford, I am always grateful for your dedication to the Airgrants Church. Without your contribution, it would have been impossible to restore the honor of the Airgrants Church and receive the will of the gods in the last duel.”

    “It’s an honor to hear you say that.”

    After saying that, the bishop turned his gaze.

    Oh, me first? Glenn flinched. It was the second time he had seen her gaze. It was a warmer and softer gaze than the one he had seen during the duel nearly two weeks ago.

    However, the bishop did not speak right away and just quietly looked at Glenn with his eyes. To the bewildered Glenn, one of the bishop’s attendants said something.

    “The bishop is here today to offer blessings and advice to three people who are helping the saint on her pilgrimage.”

    “Oh, advice? What is it?”

    The guildmaster approached the attendant and whispered something to him. In the meantime, under the gaze of the people and the gaze of the bishop, Glenn could only stand still. This is so awkward and uncomfortable. Can’t you just hurry up and end it?

    And the moment the bishop opened his mouth, Glenn was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

    “Thank you so much for helping me so much, Saintess. Red-Eyed Glen.”

    “Oh, it is an honor. Bishop Abraham, it was thanks to your foresight.”

    “No. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to offer my repentance to the saint, nor would I have been able to bless her future. And, like now…the future where I whisper to you the words I absolutely want to tell you wouldn’t have come..”

    Uh, what do you want to say?

    Before Glenn could even begin to wonder about that statement, the bishop came up to him with a swoosh.

    Oh, Bishop? Before Glenn could react, the Bishop’s wrinkled hands were placed on Glenn’s shoulders. It was a gentle touch, almost weightless.

    As Glenn looked at the bishop’s incomprehensible actions with puzzled eyes, the bishop’s attendant carefully added an explanation.

    “The bishop himself gives the blessing.”

    Oh, I see. Hahaha. So this is how you receive blessings.

    Now that I looked, the other members of the Airgrants Church, the Guildmaster, Locke, and even Briwen had faces that looked familiar with the Bishop’s actions.

    Damn it. I was the only one who didn’t know. Yes! Glenn lamented in his heart the shortness of his knowledge. Meanwhile, a gentle energy flowed out from the bishop’s two arms.

    Ah, when I concentrated, I saw the bishop muttering something.

    “Red-Eyed Glenn. Congratulations on your appointment as your escort knight. And as the escort knight of the saint, as the warrior of old legend, please forgive me for standing before you to bless you so that you can overcome the hardships that lie ahead and fulfill your destiny.”

    Huh? What are you talking about? A legendary warrior? The moment he was about to ask, the bishop’s face came closer. Huh? At that moment, the bishop began to whisper in Glenn’s ear.

    “I want you to know that you are receiving the gratitude and expectations of all of us in the Air Grants Church. You have devoted yourself to giving a new future to our noble one, whom no one has been able to proudly extend a hand to. From now on, I will entrust his fate to you. If you stay by his side during the journey ahead, even if there are many conflicts and hardships… your wish will surely come true.”

    “Even if it is different from what many people hope for.”

    It was a heavy story. It was impossible to understand and accept all the bishop’s whispers. It was impossible to immediately understand such sudden advice.

    But it certainly struck Glenn’s heart. It made his heart beat. It was clear that he had come to a small realization.

    But, his fate, Irani.

    It was a whisper, and he didn’t specify exactly, but Glenn knew exactly who he was talking about. Yes. I know. How miraculous this path I’ve chosen is. And how much more unimaginable hardship lies ahead.

    He shifted his gaze. While the bishop passed him and blessed Briwen, and while the others looked at him, Glenn looked at someone. It was the person the bishop had referred to as ‘him’.

    At that moment, the man also looked at Glenn. Wow, the man’s cheeks instantly turned red. He smiled shyly.

    Ah, it’s hard to believe. It’s just hard to accept it as reality.

    There are people who feel embarrassed and shy when they see Glenn. There are people who look at Glenn with love. That person is the greatest saint in this country, and the one who will continue to move forward together with her.

    It was a fact enough to draw the astonished gazes of many people. It was a reality enough to draw the jealousy and envy of many people. And it was a truth that proved that their hearts were headed in the same direction.

    He smiled softly. To the one he loved. To the only one. Glenn wanted to convey to her the emotions that were welling up from the depths of his heart.

    For a brief moment, the two shared their feelings for each other again.
