He is as tall as Yui, and has short black hair that feels somewhat light.

Meanwhile, the dark yellow eyes, like jewels, were creating a unique atmosphere.

The smile on his youthful yet mature face seemed to warm the air with a benevolence that could not be hidden.

And although it did cover up her delicate body, it didn’t seem to have much of an actual effect. The tight robe, a strange combination of black and white, had embroidery that looked like it was woven with gold thread.

‘Nun… Priestess… is it… … ?’

During her first encounter with a woman who gave off a truly sacred atmosphere, this was exactly the one thing Carla heard.

Do you know “degree?”

“Ah… I don’t buy it… … ”

As Carla gently closed the door, the sound of knocking on the door began to be heard again.

“You’re not a suspicious person, are you, Sister?

I just came to say good things, right?

I understand the current unfortunate times where we cannot openly welcome people, but…

Could you please take a moment to listen to a good story?”

“Kyeong… I’m calling the police… … !!”

“That’s harsh!! I know who this person is!!

I even came to say hello. Your Holiness, please go.”

There must have been other people outside the door, and I could even hear another voice.

In the end, Carla’s expression turned pale as she faced the fearful “do”, whom she had only heard about in words.

“Don’t be so mean, Roxanne.

Everyone is bound to harbor fear within themselves.

To control it, to awaken to the Tao and become a saint.

I always pray for him to control my heart.

Come to think of it… Didn’t you see me at Mass this morning, Roxanne?”

“That… The thing is… Fighting against the devil of sleep… …

But we achieved victory in the end, Your Holiness!!”

The voice of a woman called Roxanne, who seemed embarrassed for a moment, was full of confidence.

However, Yeriel’s voice, which had been laughing kindly for a moment, had taken a turn.

“This blasphemous person!! Lie down and stretch out!!

scourge… !! scourge… … !! It’s heavenly punishment… … !!

Aren’t you going to stick your head in clothes…? !!”

“Hi!! yes… Yeah… Holy shit… … !!”

What on earth is going on outside?

‘The only thing I’m guilty of is coming to school today… … !!’

“You serve God with that mindset!!

Is sleep better than a faithful attitude? !!

Then don’t even open your eyes like this and just fall asleep for the rest of your life… .!!”

“I’m sorry!!”

Why are these people suddenly doing this to me while I was enjoying my new lab and break room?

Carla, who was squatting in front of the door and shaking, was praying in her heart without realizing it, hoping that someone would come to help her.

But before that, at the very moment when Carla was startled by the sudden shaking of the door.

It looked like a door being shattered in the middle, accompanied by a thumping sound.

As it happened, next to Karla’s head, the blade of the sword protruding from the door after smashing it was scattering bright blue air.

“Sister… !! Sister… !!

Let’s clear up our misunderstanding… !!

Face to face… !!

Here’s Johnny!!”

“Hey profit!!”

Tears welled up in Carla’s eyes as she was startled by the sight of the nun looking at her through the broken door with her eyes wide open.

But soon the face disappeared, and the door began to slowly open.

Surprisingly, the person who greeted the scared Carla was Yui, who was on the second floor.

“Carla? What are you doing here?”

“U… Yuii… Sigh… !!

There are strange people out there… … !!”

“Strange people?

ah… This door… … ”

Yui let out a small sigh when she saw the door that was broken in the middle. She opened the door again and went out, gently pulling the woman’s ear from before.

“Really… Stop playing around, Your Holiness.

First of all, hello, Carla.

Yeriel Sistina of the Sistine State.

Since you’re usually a bit mischievous…

Haaaa… … Carla is weak, so could you please stop being so mean?”

“Aya… !! Uhuhu… mi… sorry.

Because she’s a girl who seems like fun to tease.

Without even knowing… I guess… … ?”

Why on earth are people so anxious to make fun of themselves?

It took a moment for her to hold back her resentment, as Karla’s eyes were looking at Yeriel.

On the outside, he certainly seems like an ordinary, kind-hearted religious person.

‘All of that up until now was a joke… ?

For that… I also broke the door… … ‘

“The door will probably be repaired soon.

really… I haven’t been able to stop you since long ago… ”

“Ah… I know you… … ?”

Carla, who felt strange about Yui’s seemingly innocent reaction, tried to ask Yui a question, but all she got back was a normal response.

Seeing Yui and Yeriel talking to each other about things that only they knew, Carla’s expression was becoming confused again.

“That… I’ve visited Chaoxing briefly before… …

You were small back then, but now you have grown so much.”

“You too, Kazunomiya.

You have become a great beauty.

If you are getting married soon, would you like me to officiate?”

“Ah… haha… I don’t think that will happen for a while… ”

At that time, in the middle of the conversation, the conversation was momentarily interrupted by the bundle held out by Roxanne, a new face girl next to her, holding out something.

From what I heard, it seemed like she belonged to the same organization, and the sight of her wearing armor with a castle gate on it made her look like a soldier.

It was obvious that her forehead was stained red, as if it had been pressed against something, but Carla, who felt like she knew the reason, didn’t necessarily want to be sure.

“First of all, this person is a second-year member of the Sacred Arts Department, His Holiness Yeriel Sistine.

And my name is Roxanne Stronova, who assists His Holiness, and is also a second-year student in the Sacred Arts Department.

In his home country, he was ordained as a Holy Knight, and at the academy, he mainly studies in the swordsmanship department…

First of all, there is no change in being part of the Sacred Arts Department.”

Roxanne, who had neat short hair just like Yeriel, bowed her head and lifted the bundle high.

“Anyway, we moved into the 3rd floor.

There will be frequent worship services held on the 3rd floor, so hymns and such…

I also ask for your understanding…

This is a gift to thank you for your support in many ways.”

“Oh, it’s refreshments? It just worked out well.

Would you like to have a cup of tea together?”

Seeing Yui accepting the bundle offered by Roxanne with a happy expression, Carla was completely lost in her thoughts.

.

.

.

“Ah… Was that how it happened…? ?

Speaking of new education, even the Sistine is changing…

Welcome, Your Holiness. Let’s get along well as neighbors.”

Sistine State.

It was the only city-state influenced by religion, located in the northeastern outskirts of the Kingdom of Groden.

It is a place where the Pope acts as a national leader and demonstrates the unity of Orthodoxy and Orthodoxy, and in a sense, it can be seen as a solid country where all members of the country work together on one state religion.

To begin with, I heard that Sistine is a fairly closed society.

It was amazing to meet the nun here.

But isn’t ‘Holiness’ a word only used when addressing the Pope?

“Yeriel… that… you… Are you… Pope… Are you… … ?

That… but… black hair… maybe Chao Xing’s?”

“No? I am just a nun in training.

The Pope is still in the Vatican?

And all Chaoxing people have black hair…

Black hair is not exclusive to Chao Xing.

Just like my father, I was born with this haircut.

Instead, the eyes are a different color, right?”

In fact, just because he had black hair, he would have been universally assumed to be from Chaoxing, but perhaps he was often misunderstood like this.

Yeriel, speaking as if it were so obvious, smiles and bright yellow eyes curve like crescent moons.

On behalf of Karla, who was embarrassed by that appearance, it was Yui who answered her questions.

“Your Holiness… therefore…

Yeriel holds the title of ‘sexual girl.’

To express it according to our understanding… Umm…

I guess it’s similar to ‘saint’ or ‘shaman’… ?

So, in terms of hierarchy, you are on the same level as the Pope.

Is that correct? Contact with God… ”

“You understand very well, Kazunomiya.

I am just an inexperienced nun.

He is a lamb who always tries not to let go of his faithful attitude.

However, the Sistine is also changing.”

“Wow… !!

It was something like that… …

Sorry for the misunderstanding… …

Because I don’t know much… … ”

Originally, Sistine was rumored to have no idea who was in the next room because all members would spend all day praying in the room.

The new Pope may have thought that such a situation was undesirable, but he is said to be sending various talented people to various countries to exchange with them for practical learning.

In a sense, it may have been natural that Yeriel, who was at the forefront of such exchanges and could be called the greatest force, would come to St. Plancina Academy, located in the center of the continent.

Perhaps this was a way for a small city the size of a city to live in the present era.

I guess the concept of mysticism is a strategy that only works in moderation.

“Anyone can make a misunderstanding, right?

I also can’t deny that my prank was a bit harsh.

However, since it can be understood through conversation like this, isn’t that enough?

As we met today, I hope Ms. Sterben’s future will be filled with happiness…

Ah, now that it has come to this, wouldn’t you like to experience the Sistine’s training and worship?

It will definitely be a fun and new experience, right?”

Yeriel smiled kindly and prayed for Karla, and then he asked a question to Karla as if something had occurred to him.

Isn’t the Sistine’s performance shrouded in secrecy such big news that one night’s worth of drinks can be made right away?

“I want to try it!! I want to try it!!

Sistine’s official training… !!

I was really curious… !!”

Unlike Carla, who was jumping up and down with excitement, Yui’s facial muscles seemed to be trembling slightly.

“I… I am… Oh right… …

I left what I was experimenting with and came down… …

Let me wake up first… ?”

“Eeh… Yui doesn’t do that… … ?”

“It’s a shame, Kazunomiya.

But the doors of the church are always open, right?

Please visit whenever you remember… Hehe… ”

The sight of Yui hesitatingly getting up from her seat and slowly heading towards the door.

Yui opened the door as if she was feeling numb, and immediately turned around to see Yui looking at her. Karla noticed that and started looking at her.

For a moment, Karla watched in a daze as Yui was eagerly saying something.

In the end, when Karla didn’t seem to understand what she was saying, it was Yui who held her forehead and tried to smile.

Seeing Yui clenching her fists as if to say she was just going to fight, Carla smiled and was thinking about what Yui had said just a moment ago.

“Oh… Ma… ?

do… Mark… …

do… manga… … ?”

Until then, Carla didn’t know.

That he could hit his head on the ground with a posture as perfect as Roxanne’s.

“You must not run away! You are full of love!!

I hope you can endure the trials given by God!!

ruler!! ruler!! You shouldn’t be scared!!!

Let’s leave everything in God’s hands, Carla!”

“Aaaaa!! ah… It hurts… !!”

“You can do it, Carla!!

God is watching you!!

All original sins are sublimated together to heaven… !!”

“Oooot!! God is looking down!!

This is the perfect headbutt to my God…!!”

“Hwaaa!! This is weird…!!”

The chapel on the third floor, where painful screams rang out, did not leak to anyone thanks to the amazing soundproofing construction.

With the guidance of Yeriel, who was full of madness, Karla, who had been crying, could feel herself gradually becoming more faithful to her heart.

In this way, Carla’s first experience of the Sistine Orthodox Church was truly one of shock and fear.

“Better…!! I want to go back……!!

Save me, Yuieemooong!!”

“You’re losing concentration, Carla!!

Hurry and hit your head!!”

“Ugh!!”

In the end, when Yui and Hye-ryeong came to rescue her, all that remained was Carla’s miserable appearance, distracted and mumbling “Amen…”…

In many ways, it must have been a day when Carla realized the horror of religion.

.

.

.

Of course, people meeting each other for the first time may have some misunderstandings.

Carla’s face was sinking in fatigue as she heard Yeriel laughing, declaring that even today’s penance was a joke.

Of course, there are some who try to reach the ‘way’ of God through asceticism, but at least they do not go to such lengths.

How many times do they have to haggle you?

The stone that rolled in was himself, so why was he making fun of himself?

“We, his creatures, have continued his service since the cradle of the beginning…

God loves you more than anyone else.

Because He is always watching you from somewhere unknown.

May his love bless Sister Carla’s future path.”

This time, Yeriel is seen kneeling down and praying as usual, blessing Karla right next to him.

Karla, who was still puffing out her cheeks and watching with a lingering look of suspicion, was finally able to let out a small sigh as she let the air out of her cheeks.

Aside from the fact that she was very playful, Yeriel was a great nun, at least on the outside.

After all, that soft voice is also an element that gives a lot of trust, but he’s only using it for a joke pretending to be serious.

Karla, who had been duped, had no choice but to forgive Yeriel, who seemed to have no bad intentions.

“I’m glad Kazunomiya made a good friend.

Hehe… I’m so sorry, Miss Carla…

As I said before, it’s so cute.

It’s hard to call it a substitute, but let me show you something good… ”

Yeriel slowly put her hands together in front of her chest, then narrowed her eyes and asked Carla a question.

“Does Carla have someone special?”

In “… Why is that again… … ?”

“Come on, why don’t you say it?”

“… There is, but… … ”

After hearing Carla’s answer, Yeriel smiled meaningfully, then closed his eyes and quietly prayed for a while.

Then, she opened her eyes again and gazed at Karla with loving eyes, moving her soft lips and leaving a soft word towards Karla.

“Carla, before the day is over, you will see your precious person.”

“What does that mean… … ?”

“Hehe… … ”

Yeriel no longer answers anything and just smiles.

In the strangely changed atmosphere, Carla felt a strange sense of discomfort and had no choice but to get up from her seat.

Those bright yellow eyes that are just looking at me.

Those eyes, which were full of mischief just a moment ago, have just become a little calmer.

Why does that image feel so creepy?

A strangely strong shiver spread throughout my entire body.

Karla, who felt as if her entire body was growing wet, stared blankly at Yeriel for a long time, unable to take her eyes off her.

Is this the kind of pressure a person experiences after hearing a secret leak that they only heard about?

“That… thank you… …

increase… It was a fun time… !!

Well, see you next time… !! Bye!! ”

Karla, who had finally come to her senses, was afraid to be in this place, so she ran through the center of the Hodadak Chapel, whimpered, opened the large door, and went out.

As the thud of the door closing echoed throughout the chapel, Yeriel’s eyes, which had been smiling quietly, slowly began to close.

“That’s… Because it is God’s will…

I will ask you to do so…

The Lamb will just cheer and worship… ”

Unlike the content of the sincere murmur, the cold, subdued voice spread into the air of the chapel and disappeared.
