***

– rattle

I didn’t know that people shaking could be heard as a sound.

After choosing our attendants, the blonde nun and I were taken to a quiet room.

It was a room with a carpet, a desk and chair for reading, and a bed large enough for one person to lie down on.

As a bonus, there is a small round table so you can sit facing each other and drink coffee.

When I asked, he said it was my room.

‘Since these people were hand-picked by the saint, how about we have a chat?’

The nice-looking Pope made an offer to me, and I had no reason to refuse it.

Rather, I had to completely deceive the woman in front of me.

I need to alleviate any doubts about me that might arise.

In the name of a meeting, I am spending tea time with my attendant, Maria Roen.

Of course, the person I was talking to in front of me looked quite nervous, so I don’t think I could say he was peaceful even with empty words.

I might be nervous because I suddenly came in second place in the protocol order.

Who is in first place? Of course it’s God.

The Pope’s attitude is also like that, and it is clear that the existence of a ‘saint’ is a very precious being.

Since he is a saint, isn’t he naturally precious? Well, looking at web novels these days, it doesn’t seem like that was necessarily the case.

In times like this, it’s best to use an icebreaker.

In fact, I always do this whenever a new person joins the company.

– Big, big.

As I cleared my voice, Maria, who had been fixating her gaze on the cup, carefully raised her head.

I spoke to her with a kind face.

“Why are you so scared? You didn’t commit an unspeakable sin, right?”

Witty, comfortable, and with localization.

Normally, it would have been normal to smile shyly and let go of the stiff tension, but somehow Maria’s trembling got worse.

Hey, I’m bored.

– Woodang soup

Maria fell and slipped off the chair.

She fell flat at my feet and bowed her head.

“I am a sinner!”

The intensity of emotion was the same as the voices of the bandits who faced death in front of the Master.

The fear that comes to those who are about to die.

I felt that in Maria too.

I also got up from the chair and placed my hand on her shoulder, which was lying on the ground.

I felt a flinching sensation running through my hand.

“Raise your head. Sister Maria.”

It was time to stop being playful and show the appearance of a merciful saint.

Maria raised her head cautiously as she heard my words disappear.

“……”

Indescribable emotions were mixed in her emerald eyes.

“First of all, wake up. You can’t talk in this posture, right?”

I smiled and smiled and helped her up.

Lift her up slowly, sequentially, without haste.

Eventually, she and I looked at each other.

Looking at it up close, the eyes meet in similar positions and the heights seem to be similar.

It can be said that he is quite tall for a woman.

“Let’s take our seats again.”

When I pointed to her lonely chair, Maria blushed and quietly returned the chair to its original state.

Take a seat again. I lifted the cup and took a sip of coffee into my mouth.

To be honest, I am not a person who can enjoy the taste of coffee, but I was still able to feel the comfort of the fragrant smell of coffee.

I slightly raised my glass and offered it to her.

Hesitantly, Maria’s white hand took the cup given to her.

“You seem too nervous. Let’s take some time to calm down.”

So she and I had time to freshen up the bustling room.

“I….”

Just as I was wondering when to speak up, thankfully she opened her mouth.

There was still a lot of hesitation in his voice, but I felt relieved that he had spoken first.

Rather than speaking awkwardly and having people find out that I am not a saint, it is better to open my mouth first and provide trivial information.

“One thing… I have a question.”

“Yes, I will answer if I know anything.”

He leaned forward slightly and made a gesture to show that he was listening to her.

I glanced at Maria, who was looking at the glass on the table, and her emerald eyes turned to my face and then returned to their original state.

“Why did you choose me? I wonder…”

I wanted to appear friendly to the common people, so it would be wrong to say that I chose the girl with the most familiar face among them.

Let’s talk a little bit more broadly.

“Because I thought it was suitable.”

He leans back from his forward posture and appears relaxed.

“Suitable… Are you saying?”

She said, blinking.

“Yes. Fit… and qualified.”

You might be wondering what those qualifications are.

I felt like her somewhat passive eyes had changed a little.

“Okay, then! That qualification is…”

Maria leaned towards the table. Her massive breasts draped across the table.

“…….”

I felt a little… stimulated, so I turned my gaze towards the ceiling.

Even though I turned my gaze to the ceiling, I could feel her stinging gaze looking at me.

Qualification? I do not know. Perhaps there is a doctrine written in the Bible.

But since I don’t know the doctrine, I have to roughly explain it.

In this case, the best way is.

“Don’t you know better yourself?”

It’s about turning a question into a question.

At my words, her eyes opened wide.

If we continue the conversation further, I feel like my finances will be drained, so I guess I should end the conversation here.

I got up from my seat and gently hugged her.

She seemed to understand what I meant and got up after me.

“Then let’s go. Saint. They say the official schedule starts tomorrow, so I will be waiting in front of the room on time.”

“Okay. It may be awkward, but I think it would be good to get to know each other slowly. i look forward to. Sister Maria.”

“Please. I will serve the saint without fail.”

She nodded to me and disappeared far away.

I closed the door and listened down the hallway.

Fortunately, there doesn’t seem to be anyone watching.

It jumps like diving into a wide bed.

I lay down on the bed, buried my face in the pillow, and forced out the energy rising from my danjeon.

“Aaaaa!!!!!”

It’s so hard to pretend to be a saint!!!!!!!

***

Maria Roen, whose position had been changed from heresy judge to one of the saint’s attendants, was summoned by the Pope and visited his office.

“Meet His Holiness.”

In front of her as she bowed her head, there were representatives of each group, including the Pope.

– gulp

As tension tightened her body, she swallowed.

“Yes. Ma… Sister Maria. Was there anything unusual during the interview with the saint?”

The Pope, who remembered his own name, smiled kindly and asked.

“If it is something special….”

“Ah, I’m asking what happened. I wonder if something happened that could cause trouble to the saint…”

“Actually….”

Mary spoke honestly about what had happened during her interview with the saint.

There was no option for lying to her.

When her story ended, the Pope stroked his chin and sighed.

“The saint has shown his will.”

“Do you mean will?”

The deep voice of the Holy Knight leader next to the Pope was heard.

The Pope scanned the faces of the people gathered in his office.

“Sister Maria here is the heresy judge who executed the saint yesterday.”

Mary’s body stiffened at the Pope’s words.

“The method of punishment for mutilating the body of a saint is not recorded anywhere in the Bible. If you look for similar doctrines, you will be damaging holy relics.”

Either way, the Pope continued talking.

“And the punishment for intentionally damaging sacred relics is…”

“Burning at the stake.”

As the Pope continued speaking, Lumen, the head of the Inquisition, who was standing calmly, continued.

At the mention of burning at the stake, Maria’s lips began to tremble mercilessly.

“But… The Holy Son chose Sister Mary to help him. I think this shows his mercy in not asking for more sins.”

Maria breathed a sigh of relief at the Pope’s words.

“And when Sister Maria asked the saint about his ‘qualifications’, the saint said that he looked at the ceiling.”

The Pope’s finger pointed to the ceiling.

“What is a ceiling?”

No one answered the Pope’s question.

“It’s the sky. There is a God beyond the sky. In other words, it means asking heaven for its qualifications.”

Everyone in the room was amazed by the interpretation of the dream, which was more exquisite than a dream.

The Pope’s serious face turned to Mary.

“Sister Maria, the Holy Son forgave Sister Maria for her blasphemy and showed her intention to show Sister Maria’s faith to heaven.”

“Are you talking about my… faith?”

“That’s right. The faith of Sister Maria, the heresy judge, is sure to be strong. In the eyes of the Absolute, it may appear as an infinitely weak faith.”

Maria recalled herself shaking while copying.

“I don’t need to explain the story about Rob in the Bible. A man who was able to prove himself to God because he was the most faithless person. Now, the Holy Son is saying that because Sister Mary’s faith is not perfect, she is qualified to prove her faith.”

“So, please show your firm faith to the Holy Son.”

“…Okay.”

Mary responded to the Pope’s words.

After the conversation, Maria left the Pope’s office and walked across the central garden.

It was still difficult for her to find a sense of reality as the situation changed overnight.

“……”

Suddenly, warm sunlight tickled her head.

The feeling of an intense light shining down on you.

It was a moment when I was filled with faith.
