***

It took a considerable amount of time to calm down the people who were trying to spontaneously combust.

At first, I tried to stop them with nice words, but later on, out of frustration, I started shouting loudly, and only then did they stop and listen to me.

Every time I said something, he would overinterpret it and try to do more, so the more I talked, the more I felt like I was falling into a deep hole.

When I clearly stated that I wanted to wash my body, a person who appeared to be of the highest rank among the priests guided me.

I thought he was a high-ranking person because he led the way and wore the most luxurious clothes, but I found out later that he was the Pope.

Anyway, as I got into the bathtub and closed my eyes, a warm energy enveloped my entire body.

Soaking in this way was a luxury that could only be enjoyed by a Sogyoju.

“Please let me know if you need anything.”

A priest holding a jar filled with water spoke of a large jar.

Looks like the bride of my world.

I nodded slightly and closed my eyes.

And I think carefully about what exactly this place is and who I am here.

What kind of place is this?

The era is closer to the Middle Ages than modern times.

The plaza, execution platform, and building style were just like those seen in textbooks or movies.

For all that, it’s strangely neat, and there are some items that don’t fit the times… I think this should be considered fantasy editing.

And who am I?

I said ‘saint’. The Son when the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are together.

Looking at the nuance of what the Pope says, it seems that he is in the position of a kind of prophet or messenger rather than the son of God.

“This time it will have to do with religion.”

I have never been involved with religion in my entire life, but I am not just involved with it; I am a saint, a saint.

It seems like the migraine that had subsided at best is coming back.

“Yes?”

The priest standing next to me questioned my muttering. Oh, there was this person.

“Excuse me, could you give me a mirror?”

Since moving here, you haven’t seen my face.

The mirror was immediately handed to me as if it had been prepared.

When I brought the mirror in front of me, a man with an exotic appearance appeared in the mirror.

Now that I think about it, is this my second time being a Westerner?

The appearance was decent. Considering my aesthetic standards, I would say it was decent.

His shoulder-length chestnut-brown hair and messy beard were slightly detracting from his appearance.

One characteristic was his bright blue eyes.

It was shabby and dirty overall, but the eyes felt alive.

Thanks to the eyes, it feels like he has been elevated from a simple beggar to a beggar with hidden powers.

“Haircut….”

I muttered while wiping my soaked body with a sponge.

Hearing my muttering, the priest leaned down and brought his ear close to me.

It was burdensome to be treated so politely, but I couldn’t tell you not to do it, so I had no choice but to get used to it…

“I need someone to cut my hair and beard. Is there a barber available?”

I can wash my body, but I need someone to straighten my hair.

“I will prepare it right away.”

The bride left right away, giving me some time to be alone.

“Ah….”

I let out a long sound as I watched the steam rise up and reach the ceiling and turn into water.

“What should I do this time?…”

My heart didn’t break, but the feeling of despair didn’t change.

Fortunately, since this is a situation where we start from the upper position, there is no immediate danger… but you never know.

“Because there is a heresy judge.”

If I do anything that goes against the doctrine even a little, or if it is revealed that I am not a saint, I will be put on the scaffold again and my body will be blown away.

No, do you want me to kill you cleanly like that?

Wouldn’t they tie him to a wooden pole and burn him at the stake?…

No matter how accustomed you are to death, dying by fire is something you cannot afford.

“How did you solve it? If you know the text, you can at least read the doctrine in advance.”

I rub my face with my hands, as if rubbing away the blocked emotions.

As always, we will adapt somehow.

I still don’t like this dimension shift. However, I don’t think it’s all bad.

Some people only have one life, but I enjoy it many times.

Of course, ultimately, my desire to die as the original ‘Kang In-ho’ has not changed.

I want to die after living my full life with my beloved parents and friends with whom I have spent a long time.

– Okay.

When I get up from the bathtub, the water that had built up goes down.

Wipe off any moisture on your body with a dry towel.

That’s why I endure this endless fucking dimension shift.

In order to find the slightest clue to return to the original world someday.

“Saint. We have prepared a barber.”

I hear the priest’s voice from behind me.

I put on the prepared bathrobe and turn around.

And I put on the most benevolent expression I can.

“Okay. Let’s go.”

I will act perfectly.

The best saint.

“Of course, it is right for a priest carefully selected by the bishops to serve as the saint’s counselor.”

When the bishop raised his voice, the leader of the Holy Knights next to him frowned slightly.

“But in order to protect the saint’s well-being, a paladin must be by his side anyway.”

Although he didn’t say it directly, he was a knight commander who said that a paladin should serve as a saint’s counselor.

“……”

Unlike the bishops and paladins, Inquisitor Lumen remained silent.

This is because the Heresy Judge was not suited to assisting someone, and was the weakest of the three forces that made up the Solarium Church.

I didn’t think there was any need to open my mouth and be scolded for nothing.

“Rather than having us decide, how about the Holy Son himself select someone to assist him?”

Pope Lunio made a proposal in a difficult situation where he could not take a side.

“How can we advise the Son to do this or that? I think following what the Son decides is the true action of us as children of light.”

In response to the Pope’s very logical words, everyone fell silent like dumb people.
