Before we knew it, the carriage was running, the sun was setting, and the fifth village was welcoming us at the end.

Street lights made of magic stones illuminated the darkened streets of the village, and rustic buildings made of iron, followed by a harmony of brick and iron, appeared to be considerably more advanced than the previous village.

Of course, even so, it was less than the city of the Holy Kingdom.

Thinking about the pure white walls, the neatly connected buildings and the roads, I thought that there was probably no architecture in this era that was more outstanding than the city of the Holy Kingdom.

As the carriage arrived at its destination, I was afraid of encountering another monster on the way after the sudden appearance of a monster that defied Kylon’s expectations, but I felt fortunate that there was no such thing.

At the time, it was so sudden, and my body was slow to perceive pain thanks to being tortured, so I didn’t even think it was that painful, but if I were to experience it now that my mind was clear, I felt like I would cry, sneeze, and cry.

It would be a little embarrassing if he was crying and was fine again.

“… Good.”

Behind Kailon’s small review, I could see the village spreading in the sunset.

They agreed with what he said, and everyone else responded, saying they would try to answer Kylon’s words one more time.

It was noisy.

There was a lot of talk, but I didn’t pay any attention to it because it had nothing to do with me.

Even if I flattered myself to impress Kylon, even if I drew attention because I wanted Kylon to look at me, even if I turned my head and said disparaging words to pretend I wasn’t interested, it had absolutely nothing to do with me. After getting off the carriage, I took in the scenery.

It’s a day when I have a lot to think about.

Now that I could only guess why I wanted to go home, couldn’t remember what was in the house, and wasn’t even sure if I could go back, I was wandering.

Until I opened my eyes this morning, it felt like there was a goal out there, just within reach if I stretched out my hand, but it suddenly felt like it had disappeared into thin air.

No, it was because I was there and started to doubt its authenticity.

Is that a real goal?

Isn’t it an illusion? My mouth fell open as I wondered if it was just an oasis depicted as a mirage in the desert.

What on earth am I hoping for? I couldn’t figure it out.

“… Saint? What are you thinking like that?”

I responded blankly to Kylon, who passed the other heroines and approached me.

“… I’m not thinking about anything in particular.”

As he calmly told a lie, Kylon also kept his mouth shut as if he had nothing to say, and being pressured by the heroines again, they started talking among themselves again.

I figured out its shape without even looking at it and let out a breath without anyone noticing.

I can’t tell these thoughts to anyone.

It’s a life where I’ve never told anyone about my true concerns anyway. Wouldn’t it be natural to feel relieved now that you’ve told someone about your worries?

After suffering from such a stuffy stomach, I started to feel uncomfortable.

Now that I think about it, what was my problem? Was there anything to worry about as I stayed in my room and played games?

There’s nothing to worry about, it’s just that I’m stuck alone, so is there any room for worry to even exist?

No matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t think I could solve it on my own, so I just left it there. As if holding on to a treasure, no, as if foolishly holding on to a treasure trove.

I can’t throw it away because it’s my memory, and I don’t have the heart to do so, so it just sits there.

“… It’s pretty.”

I looked at the sunset and moved my mouth softly.

I wish my worries could burn so beautifully.

No matter how much I said I would leave everything to Kailon, in the end, the thought that I should not leave everything to Kailon was the only thing that lingered in my mind.

I’m getting more and more anxious. The feeling that I can’t just leave it to others encourages me.

But how? I don’t know what I can do on my own, and I don’t know the answer, so I start wandering again.

Now, I was worried that I would have to leave that position again, behind the scenes, in the shadows, after leaving it to Kylon, and deciding not to cross that line like a heroine.

God exists. Because God exists, there is no one who does not believe in God. A faithful believer can be chosen by believing in God, and through that act, his or her faith can be firmly, definitely, and confirmed.

Therefore, the nation that has believed in and worshiped the god since ancient times was able to be reborn as a holy nation and a kingdom that could have a representative of the god.

And at the end, there was a king.

“… Hmm.”

He had a lot of worries. I groaned because I couldn’t control this anger that was rising forever, but I was holding back because God told me to do it.

In fact, rather than being angry, it would be more correct to say that he felt disrespected, or that he wanted to recover from that mistake again, thinking that he had entered the second path because he had failed.

“… Hello. Please bring courtesy documents.”

The king gave orders to his subordinates and then glanced at the paper next to his desk.

The first person of the Holy Kingdom was the Pope, and the second person was the King. It is called a holy kingdom, not a kingdom, so it is natural. However, now that the Pope was gone, the king was the number one person, and since he was the highest ranking person, there was no one who could oppose him.

Now that the king, who had been second in command, had risen to number one, he had a lot to do.

In the name of God, at God’s command, he raised his eyebrows and steadily set about his work.

There was nothing that could stop him.

Sometimes, even though we are well aware that God exists, why do we commit such evil deeds? There were foolish people who asked that question. But that’s just idiots who can’t hear God’s voice.

He knew very well that it was foolish to distinguish between good and evil in what God does, and that something done for a purpose should not be dismissed as an evil act.

That’s why he tortured her after finding out that she would become a saint in this generation.

The former saint, and the current pope, instigating the confinement on the way to the Holy Land on a pilgrimage was not an evil act, but was done according to God’s will, so there was no need for him to feel guilty.

Because he is a sincere believer, he can do things that ordinary people would be reluctant to do without hesitation.

With this, he grinned and said that he could now go to heaven and ascend to the side of the goddess.

“Here are the documents ordered by His Highness.”

“Yes, did you do what the person told you to do?”

“The first one failed, but the second one must… ”

After hearing the man’s words, the king became very angry, picked up the glass ashtray next to him, and threw it at his head.

It hit him on the head with a thud, causing his body to stumble, his skin torn, and blood flowing down his face.

“Failed? Did you say it was a failure now? Does it make sense to fail again when God is disappointed?”

“… I’m sorry.”

“Next time, try to bring him back next time. If this time too fails, you may be shunned by God. Shouldn’t we do it in moderation without the Pope?”

“I apologize.”

“Go away, so that the next answer is a success.”

He was a bit angry out of nervousness, but that wasn’t important.

It has already been half a year since the Pope was imprisoned and silenced. Does it make sense that the Pope, who has the most power in the Holy Kingdom, has been away for six months?

Of course, it was something God told me to do, so I had no choice but to do it. And Veronica, the leading candidate for the next pope, had to be made pope. Because that was God’s will.

It was said that when that time comes, God will personally come down to the woman’s body and look over this country.

But again, I failed again.

I wondered if that made sense.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this. No matter how much the hero took him, this world cannot be restored to peace like this.

Because if you are saved through peace, you will no longer want salvation from God.

Because those who have been saved do not need any other salvation.

That shouldn’t happen.

“Is there no one?”

There is “. Please just give me a name.”

Clap, clap.

May a soldier in gear come right in front of him, kneel down, and wait for orders.

“… Yes, take this.”

He handed the documents he found to his soldier.

“What can I do?”

“Tie it to the gray crow and send it flying away.”

I will honor “ people.”

There was only one thing the king had to do.

If the Pope did not do what God wanted, let him die and establish a new Pope.

Veronica knew that the atrocities she had committed would not be able to touch her the moment she ascended, and furthermore, she knew well that the moment the goddess took over her body, her sins would completely disappear, so she only made a bold move.

The gray crow flew straight across the villages.
