“thank you. Ugh… ! Thank you so much, saint. How can I repay this favor…!”

“Don’t think it’s difficult. Enjoy your happiness comfortably. “That’s enough for me.”

“Huh… How did this miracle happen in my life… Hmm… I will live hard. thank you!”

A man who couldn’t speak properly and shed tears.

The sisters behind him skillfully supported him and led him outside.

“He’s the last one today, right?”

“Yes, saint. Thank you for your hard work.”

“no. “I just sat down and used my abilities.”

“no. If the saint had not existed, how could so many people have been saved? “It is thanks to the saint who performed a miracle.”

I smiled shyly at the compliment that made my face heat up.

They said I didn’t have to use my abilities anymore, so I decided to ask for a favor because I wanted to be alone for a little while.

“Is it okay if I rest alone for a moment?”

“Yes, I understand. Rest in peace.”

Dalkak-

After everyone has gone outside.

“Whew~”

It felt like something was blocking my breathing, but I felt much more comfortable.

I loved and liked the denomination, but at the same time, I couldn’t help but feel burdened.

This is because he unintentionally became the leader of the cult.

‘I am a saint and a religious leader…how did this come to be?’

Quite unexpectedly, the situation ended up like this.

I thought I needed to change the denomination, but I didn’t know that it would lead to me becoming the leader of the denomination.

Even when I tried to persuade the leader, I thought he would return soon.

“I’m not that great of a person.”

I unconsciously fiddled with the sacred object hanging on my necklace.

After wearing the holy relic, I gained the power to create incredible miracles.

However, the root of this power ultimately came from holy relics.

So in the end.

“It’s not that my abilities are that great.”

Ability created by holy relics.

However, people thanked him excessively and expressed respect for being saved.

‘It’s not entirely within my power.’

The great thing about relics is that they increase your abilities just by wearing them.

If I hadn’t met him, I would still have the same level of healing ability as others.

If you were a really great person, you wouldn’t have felt this discomfort.

However, he could not disappoint the people of the church by revealing his true face.

‘The number of people relying on me has increased.’

In fact, such a thing did not only happen here.

When they were conscripted to help on the front lines in a crisis, the soldiers there too expressed excessive gratitude for saving their lives.

And at some point, he became his follower and even joined the sect.

I felt uneasy because I felt like I was receiving compensation for treating him for no reason.

In fact, there was a time when I was embarrassed because people who joined the church in that way gave a lot of donations.

Although it was thankful that more church members were saved through their donations.

‘Shouldn’t I have accepted the position as leader?’

After the leader became corrupt and was unable to keep his position unintentionally.

He tried to give up the position of leader to someone else, but everyone earnestly asked him to become the leader.

What can I do if they say that there is no one else suitable for that position but me?

‘I was the one who noticed the leader’s problem, so I thought I should take responsibility.’

I was taught that I shouldn’t pass on to others things I don’t want to do.

So it would be right to follow the teachings.

In this way, she became the leader of the cult and a saint, and did not hesitate to use her abilities for the benefit of the cult members.

Fortunately, I haven’t been caught using my abilities for personal reasons yet.

It is said that church members pay close attention when leaving after receiving ‘baptism’, and that seems to be working well.

It was a joy to see church members receive baptism and salvation, but the undeserved attention increasingly directed at them made their shoulders heavy.

‘I’ll have to enlist soon, but I’m worried.’

I know very well how painful it is to lose someone you depend on.

The religious leader shows no signs of coming back to his senses.

It was difficult to entrust the denomination to such a person again, and in the end, he had no choice but to take responsibility for the denomination himself.

“The leader was truly amazing.”

After holding on to this heavy position for a long time, he eventually couldn’t bear it and that’s what happened.

I should have been there to help you at least a little bit… .

I regretted my past, when I was not able to provide strength to my religious leader.

“I have to stay alert so I don’t fall astray!”

I clenched my two fists tightly.

Even after joining the military, I have no intention of neglecting church management.

… Although I was thinking of going to do something else right now.

I couldn’t neglect my work with Him just because I was busy with church work.

‘If you weren’t here, the church wouldn’t have come this far in the first place.’

Going to see my uncle was one of the most important things.

If he had not lent the sacred relic, the religious leader would still be accumulating sins in the religious order.

Thinking about that makes me dizzy.

‘It’s okay if we fix it now.’

How fortunate I am that I can change it when it’s not too late.

After smiling happily, I checked the time and got up.

Work at the church usually begins late on weekends for security reasons.

In other words, when I finish work, it’s almost midnight.

‘I must meet you today and say hello.’

I don’t know how many times I benefit from borrowed sacred items.

I was very sorry to come to see you at such a time, but there was no chance of meeting you anymore.

Today, I left work receiving a warm greeting from the church members.

As I was thinking about this and that, I quickly arrived at a general store.

Knock knock

“Uncle, I’m here.”

How much did they knock on the general store on the first floor?

The man came down from the second floor and opened the door.

“Are you here?”

As always, a grave expression.

A man wearing a dark blue t-shirt and cotton pants.

‘Awesome.’

Others might frown at him, calling him sloppy, but in my eyes, he was the perfect man.

As I entered the general store, the faint scent of the man lingering irritated my nose.

At first glance, it seemed like the smell of an old man mixed with the smell of alcohol.

“Have you had a drink?”

“Uh, a little bit with a friend. “I’m drinking it now.”

“With your friend? ah… “Then shall I go?”

You can’t say thank you while causing inconvenience.

I thought about just going back to the church and sleeping.

But the man said it would be okay and told me to go up to the second floor.

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“I said it’s okay. come in.”

I went up the stairs with my heart pounding at the man’s words.

“ah?”

“It’s a little messy, so just sit down. “You came here because you were hungry, right?”

I heard the man’s voice asking, but I couldn’t answer.

I didn’t know that the friend I was talking about was a woman, and I didn’t even know that it was someone I knew.

“Miss Rebecca?”

“uh?”

“You two know each other. Let’s talk.”

“What situation is this? “Why are you here at this hour?”

Teacher Rebecca’s eyes became sharp.

“What kind of situation is this? It’s just that someone I know came here. “You two should play.”

The man doesn’t seem to be embarrassed because he doesn’t understand the situation.

Even though I gave permission, aren’t you being too confident?

I was a little upset.

Last time, I held it in because I didn’t want to show my uncle an ugly side.

“Do you know someone? “A minor came into my uncle’s house at midnight. What are you talking about?”

“Why are you so drunk after drinking so much? Stop talking nonsense and take care of your baby. “Sit anywhere there.”

“… … .”

He always made me something delicious when I stopped by to see him, but I didn’t want to eat until moments like this.

“I’m OK.”

“What does it mean to be okay? “You don’t have to eat?”

“He said it was okay to come here late at night. That’s right, uncle.”

“ok?”

He said while looking at Teacher Rebecca.

“We still have a good relationship. But is this the same situation as last time?”

“You mean last time?”

Even though it happened recently, the man seemed unable to remember it.

But I still haven’t forgotten.

When I went to see him, wasn’t he talking to a Cortiscan woman at the general store?

It is a pity that we were not able to welcome her into our church, but I remember being proud because we saved many people who were suffering around that woman.

The man spoke as if he was dumbfounded, probably remembering the incident later.

“Did you still remember that? The situation is different from back then. He came to do business with me, and he is a friend. “What kind of strange misunderstanding are you having?”

“I’m really fine. “You don’t have to lie.”

I tried to tell him that if he was lying, there was no need to commit such a crime.

But then Teacher Rebecca intervened.

“What on earth are you two doing? “Looking at what you’re saying, it’s too suspicious even if it’s suspicious.”

“We promised a future together.”

“General store customer.”

My uncle and I spoke at the same time.

However, what was said was exactly the opposite.

“crazy.”

The last time I saw him with a woman, I brushed it off, but the situation was a little different with Rebecca.

‘You’re a much cooler person than me. ‘The facial expression on that woman’s face is completely different.’

The way the man looked at Teacher Rebecca was full of affection.

If you date someone like this, you will quickly forget about women like me who only cause trouble.

In addition, Teacher Rebecca was very popular among the students.

Drinking with someone like that at this time meant that things between the two of them were not normal.

A sense of crisis comes.

If I continued like this, I felt like I would become a lousy person who would not be able to properly repay the favor.

However, I slightly regretted it because Teacher Rebecca’s expression was so bad.

‘Was it right to hide it?’

But we had already confessed our relationship honestly.

They said it was a joke and it wasn’t at a level where they could resolve it.

“Should I arrest you and send you to security?”

“Don’t do that, teacher. And I’m fine. “For me, being a second wife is enough.”

“what? Huh, second wife?! What did I just hear? “Please explain this.”

“No, that means…”

“I guess I have to enlist for 10 years. I’ve already told you that it’s okay for you to be my second wife because you’re making too much of a sacrifice to be alone. However, since I was not able to ask the teacher for permission in advance, I am doing it now.”

I was anxious because I thought the teacher was such a good person that he would just forget about me and live happily, but I felt that if I asked for his understanding on this occasion, there would be no trouble later.

I’m sick of being abandoned now.

“I can’t do it. This is a mistake. You come here. “Let’s go to the security guard.”

“Hey!”

Teacher Rebecca tried to catch the man.

I felt like I wouldn’t be allowed to stay like this, so I urgently grabbed the teacher’s feet with both arms.

“teacher! Please allow me to become your second wife in 10 years. “I will definitely come back without dying!”

“Now, wait a minute! Why are you doing this? Why are you asking me to do that!! You bastard!! Why don’t you come here? “You put the kid in this situation and then run away?”

“You two take care of it. Because I don’t know.”

“YAAAAH!!!”

The man ran away without even looking back.

I tightened my arms as if I would never let go.
