Originally, the reason I asked to investigate church corruption was because of Fabi.

At that time, Fabi seemed shaken, so I tried to lessen the shock that would come to her by gradually telling her the truth.

My plan was shattered by Nakrad’s trolling. Because that guy poured red pills on Fabi.

What’s so fortunate is that Fabi didn’t break down even after learning the whole truth.

Even after realizing the whole truth, she stood up proudly and was clearly someone worthy of the title of saint.

Even after the anxiety related to Fabi disappeared, I continued to ask Alsatin to collect the church’s corruption.

It was around this time that I realized it. Even if something about church corruption is in my head, it means nothing without actual evidence.

As long as I am an apostle of Armadi. And as long as he’s Fabi’s friend. One day I will become hostile to the church, so what’s the point in talking about the church’s injustice?

Claims without evidence are just conspiracy theories.

So I asked Alsatin to continue my research into the church.

This information gathering accelerated after the incident in Menesteil and when Caria joined.

As the teacher of Alsatin and the shadow of the former kingdom, she spread her web across fifty thousand parts of this continent, and as someone who once stood next to Benedick, she displayed her awesome abilities to the fullest.

The end of the line reached the orphanage where Fabi had grown up in the distant past.

‘It wasn’t that difficult. The nobles who cooperated on this side were anxious because they could not boast about their achievements.’

The person who was intoxicated with the fact that he had created a saint was itching to reveal something that should have been kept secret, and in the end, the prey was caught in the web spread by Caria.

‘I was planning to ride that guy and slowly dig up information about the church. Hey. The people at the church that gave it to me were very perceptive. I never thought they would shut me up as soon as I noticed the slightest hint of something strange.’

However, there wasn’t much inside the food.

Before I could dig up the right thing, the parasites inside it killed their prey and ran away.

Karia said that since she had gained quite a lot, she would be able to find something interesting if she continued researching, and gave me a suggestion.

‘I know this isn’t something your employer will be very happy about. ‘Can’t we test what kind of person the saint is?’

She felt uneasy about the fact that Fabi was a created saint.

Since Payby was created by the higher-ups of the church, wouldn’t it be a problem at an important moment?

Knowing how upright and sincere a person named Fabi was, I found the suspicion itself unpleasant, but Caria was stubborn.

They say you can’t believe it unless you see the whole scene with your own eyes.

‘It just forces you to face now what you will have to face someday. ‘Your employer.’

In the end, it was me who raised both hands.

My ability was not enough to persuade Caria, who stuck to her opinions despite all the criticism.

Even my grandfather, who would have helped me under other circumstances, agreed with Caria’s opinion.

‘I don’t think Faby is weaker than me.’

Now, a few days have passed since the plan to take Fabi to the orphanage where she grew up was made.

I couldn’t help but feel good when I saw Fabi wake up staggering, her face so pale that I could tell even in the middle of the night.

Despite numerous trials, she rose again and fought against the corrupt church, and in the end, rather than punishing the person who created all the lies, she forgave him.

Fabi is both evaluated as a frustrating character and infinitely good.

A person so noble that he can’t be compared to a half-penny like me.

How can suspicion become an object?

I think it’s inevitable that everyone will be suspicious since they don’t know who Faye is in the game.

The apostle of the Lord God is guaranteeing it.

Why don’t you trust the insight of the Lord’s Apostle?

This is really unfair!

“Lady.”

I was pouring out my anger towards Grandpa, who was keeping silent, and Caria, who was secretly watching from afar. I quickly turned my head when I heard Fabi’s trembling voice.

“I know it’s shameless, but I’d like to ask you a favor.”

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen Fabi shake with anxiety.

Because she had already been shaken several times by the truth she had faced so quickly.

However, the sight of her not being able to even control her own trembling made me think of many things.

…When this is over, both Caria and Grandpa will be destroyed.

“Would you please go into the building with me?”

After hearing that I was a poor person and couldn’t make the first move, I opened the door to the orphanage instead of giving Fabi an answer.

I didn’t want to give even the slightest criticism to Fabi, so I just kept my mouth shut.

How did they accept my behavior like this? Fabi slightly raised her eyes and then came closer to me with an awkward smile.

“It won’t be a very pleasant place.”

The moment I stepped into the orphanage, the smell of blood filled my nose.

It is not just the fishy smell of blood, but a terrible smell that has accumulated and accumulated over a long period of time.

The scent, which would have already made me nauseous if I had been before becoming accustomed to this world, seemed to describe what this space was doing.

“…You should pray later.”

Fabi, who was trying to remain calm despite smelling blood, took me around and showed me around with an awkward smile.

“This is a restaurant. I always had to say long prayers and eat as the adults told me to do. Meals were always insufficient, and the children’s stomachs were always growling.”

“This is where we used to study the Bible. I had to stay here all day during the day. Everyone did their best not to fall asleep. When I heard screaming next to me, I had no choice but to do that.”

“This is… the room used by adults. There were many people who said they would like to live in a place like this someday because the facilities were better than the places their children were used to.”

“This is the bedroom we slept in. Dozens of people had to sleep in this narrow space. At the time, I thought that was normal. Now that I think about it, it wasn’t.”

The further we went, the more Fabi’s shaking grew.

The lips that were trying to smile suddenly became difficult to even open. The trembling of my hands gradually increased in intensity. My steps toward other places just slowed down.

It seemed obvious to anyone who saw that Fabi was gradually falling apart.

“This is…”

Nevertheless, Fabi, who had continued to explain the orphanage and continued to move forward, stopped in front of the stairs leading down to the basement.

“This is.”

I know what happened down here, even without Fabi explaining it.

I know better than the person involved, Fabi.

So, I gently held onto the hand of Fabi, who was struggling to continue speaking even though her teeth were chattering.

‘are you okay.’

“If you can’t say it, you don’t have to. Because this is normal for a poor person.”

Fabi looked at her joined hands, took a deep breath, and spoke again.

“…No. it’s okay. Young-ae. I just needed some time to compose myself.”

The scent of blood became stronger as we went underground, indicating that this was the source of the smell that spread throughout the orphanage.

“…It’s closed. wait a minute. The key just came out.”

‘There’s no need for that.’

“That’s it. Why do I need a key to open this crappy door?”

You don’t even need a mace to break down an iron door like this.

I stepped in front of Fabi and filled my fist with divinity.

As the level of divinity increased, I became more adept at handling it and no longer needed to make efforts to concentrate divinity.

Is there any reason to go through any trouble in order for divinity to move as I wish?

After completing the concentration, I punched out, and the various spells embedded in the iron door were first shattered, and then the door broke and flew across the dreary hallway of the basement.

I turned my head with a loud noise, went to the side of Fabi, who was standing there in a dazed state, and grabbed her hand again.

Fabi, who came to her senses only after feeling the touch, looked down at me and then smiled stiffly.

“This is the place adults called the prayer room. It was a place we had to come to every evening, and a place everyone hated to come to. Because when they came here, each person had to go into a different room and be tortured.”

Fabi tried to remain calm and explained the scene at that time.

Torturing a close friend and having someone else heal him.

They are injected with unknown drugs and made to suffer from endless thirst.

It makes you cry out to God in extreme pain.

“Rather than mourning the death of their friend, the children here were envious of their friend who had found eternal rest. It was that kind of place.”

Fabi’s expression, as she looked at the place where the traces of torture that could not be erased, were filled with many emotions that I could not guess.

What is she thinking now?

Do you hate the adults who caused you pain?

Do you hate God, who did not help you no matter how much you prayed?

Are you feeling sad, remembering your friends who had to die in pain?

“Young-ae. There is something I really want to ask you.”

After hearing Faby’s call, I stood still and waited for her next words.

Now I can grant everything she wants.

If you want to take revenge on the adults at the orphanage, I will be happy to make it happen.

Why do such evil people harbor divinity? Even if you ask why the Lord only gave them divinity and did not help them, they are willing to tell you the whole truth.

Even if she asks me to accept her grievances on behalf of the Lord, I can silently listen to her grievances.

Because I am now free from the influence of the Mesugaki skill.

Because you have to follow whatever she says.

“Please stay by my side while I pray here. Please hear my prayer.”

However, Fabi did not blame anyone.

No one hated anyone.

I just thought of those who fell asleep in sorrow.

Even though she has not yet become a true saint.

Even though I don’t know God’s will.

Fabi. You give the same answer.

under. really.

No matter what you may think of yourself, you are still a saint to me.

He is such a noble person that I feel like he is not worthy of someone like him.

I smiled at Faby’s laughter, brought her hands together, placed my hands on top of them, and closed my eyes.

Not long after that, Fabi’s soft yet heavy voice comes out.

“God in heaven.”

Soon, her voice contained a warmth that did not match the night.

“Please focus your eyes on the place where your apostle is located.”

The warmth spreading around Fabi pushed away the unpleasant scent of blood.

“Please listen to the voice of this profane child who has become an insult to you without me knowing.”

At some point, the entire cold basement became warm like the morning.

“Look at the places of those who hoped for your salvation but passed away without being saved.”

this is.

“Please bear the resentment of these poor people who did not receive your care.”

For sure.

“Please save their souls.”

It was the saint’s prayer.
