Never once in my life have I acknowledged that God exists.

That was natural.

I like things that I can see and feel clearly.

On the other hand, what about God?

No matter how much you pray, can you still feel his presence?

Do things like God’s grace and blessings embrace my body in a sacred way?

So naturally, within me, God was nothing more than an illusion created by humans.

Of course, I am not denying the influence of its existence on humans, but anyway.

My strong heart, which has never been shaken in my life, is shaking for the first time today.

From the moment you enter the Vatican, the headquarters of the Vatican Orthodox Church.

“… What are these energies?”

It was truly a unique city.

The buildings built in a style that was popular a long time ago are all awe-inspiring.

Not only that, but there is also a strange sense of piety.

This was not just a simple sentiment.

In fact, a form of magic that had never been experienced before enveloped this entire small country.

So, what function is this magic used for?

“Protection… , Is it.”

protect.

It is not simply a narrow sense of protecting an opponent from external raids or attacks.

There are many anguishes and pains that we naturally experience in life.

A support that helps humans overcome the things that corrupt them and make them weak.

The magic power that permeated the entire Vatican was in that role.

The effect was truly amazing.

“Do you somehow feel uneasy?”

“Yes… , I feel like I woke up after taking a nap in a sunny place in really nice weather.”

“I am something… , It feels like I’m covering my whole body with a freshly washed and dried fragrant blanket.”

“I think I know what that feeling is, yes.”

The expressions on the faces of the guild members who are now under the protection of this place all look happy.

“There was something I had been thinking about for several days, and suddenly the answer came to me.”

“Uh, you too?”

“Me too. It makes me wonder why I was worrying about this until now.”

Even the worries that were plaguing my mind seem to have been resolved.

Just like them, I am no different.

“… It’s comfortable.”

The whispers that occasionally ran through my mind suddenly disappeared.

All that remains is silence.

My sexual desire, which had been bubbling like boiling water, suddenly subsided.

It is a state of mind that is literally like a clear water.

I am confident in my calm heart.

“… If I stay here for a month, I’ll either go crazy or die.”

This is not a place for someone like me.

20 minutes of walking along the wide path.

Before we knew it, a familiar woman was standing in front of the building we arrived at.

The saint’s exclusive maid.

She approaches and bows her head in a polite manner.

“Welcome, Hunter Dojin Kim.”

“It’s been a while since I saw you.”

“It is an honor to see you again.”

“What glory… .”

After briefly saying hello, her gaze turns to the guild members who are slightly frozen by the appearance of a stranger.

“Nice to meet you, Twilight Guild. I am Mary, the saint’s exclusive maid.”

“Ah, hello.”

Her name was Mary.

This is my first time hearing this too.

After briefly saying hello, she points to a large building behind me.

“This is the official residence where the Pope and the Holy Virgin reside.”

A huge building in classical style.

Looking at the building, which was too large for just the two of us, I realized once again the status of the Pope and the Saint.

Official residence… Although I said that, in reality, wouldn’t the expression “palace” be more appropriate?

“Please eat inside.”

Follow her and enter the residence.

The interior is not much different from the old-fashioned exterior.

However, as if convenience of life has been taken into consideration, new-style cultural objects installed here and there are noticeable.

After all, it’s a place where people live, so we can’t insist on the old ways.

I reached the 3rd floor by climbing the pillars and walking up the stairs.

She reaches the end of the long hallway and opens the door there.

“This is a reception room. The saint will come down soon, so please rest a little.”

Go inside and look around.

The interior looks ordinary at first glance.

However, if you look closely, you can see that this is not the case.

“… It’s all masterly work.”

Chairs, tables, curtains.

Even a vase filled with green flowers.

They all bear the handiwork of masters whose depth cannot be easily fathomed.

Probably, if you take a peek at just one of the things here, it would be a ridiculous amount of hundreds of millions.

He opens his mouth to the guild members walking around with rabbit eyes.

“The saint is coming soon, so everyone, don’t stretch out your hands hastily and sit quietly.”

If we touch it incorrectly and it breaks or breaks, our bank account may become empty.

After confirming that all guild members were seated, I sat down for the last time and calmly took a breath.

From now on, no loopholes can be shown.

In the worst case, it could turn not only the Guardians, but the entire Vatican Orthodox Church, into enemies.

“Phew.”

It was when I was exhaling lightly and relieving the pressure that was weighing heavily on my heart.

Rattling!

The door opens, and a familiar-looking woman steps inside.

A woman with her face covered in a simple, pure white dress and a veil that cannot be seen through.

“Nice to meet you, everyone. This is Saint Sophia Saintes.”

Saint.

The guild members who were already nervous at her appearance froze even more.

“Ah, hello… yo. this? Poetry, this is Shin Yu-jeong!”

“My name is Lim Na-eun… .”

“Oh my god… , I never thought I would see the saint in person. Hey, it’s Elena.”

Three people barely managed to say hello with stiff tone of voice and facial expressions.

“This is Han Joo-yeon.”

“Hello, saint.”

Jooyeon and Seoyeon were very good.

Seo-yeon is already a Guardian, and Joo-yeon has also encountered a saint before.

The problem was the two remaining people.

“Ah, well, over there… , Ah, hi… , do it.”

“Wow… .”

The young chicks of our guild.

Yoon Si-hoo and Jin Ha-rin were almost on the verge of fainting.

what… , It’s not just because I’m nervous.

He’s growing hard and has great talent, but right now he’s just a slouch.

He must have been overwhelmed by the saintly woman’s power that was implicitly radiating from him.

Then she spoke, sending pure white magical energy towards the two people.

“Hehe, you don’t have to be too nervous.”

“Yes, ah, I understand… ”

“Thank you.”

The guys are gradually starting to regain stability.

It’s a warm word, but it’s probably because that magical power acted as a sedative for their frightened hearts.

“Sit down, let’s.”

The guild members hesitated at her words and sat down again.

The saintess, who had been watching them closely as they anxiously looked at her, turned to me.

“It’s just as Hunter Dojin Kim said.”

A random word.

But I understood the meaning.

I once encouraged investment and praised the outstanding potential of guild members.

What I mean is… , which probably means that she was also impressed by the potential of her guild members.

“I’m glad you liked it.”

“Hehe… , it’s really amazing. There are so many amazing talents in Korea.”

This is the part I sympathize with.

Compared to a small land mass with a small population, there are abnormally many talented people.

They jump on the bandwagon and brag about it to the fullest.

“I told you. You will never regret it.”

“It was like that. I thought that was a bit of a lie… , it was rather humble.”

As she cheerfully agrees, her eyes turn elsewhere.

Eventually, the place we stopped was among the frozen baby chicks holding teacups.

To be more precise, he looks closer to Yoon Si-hoo.

“Did you say these two are apprentices?”

“Yes.”

“I see… .”

The end of the sentence becomes slightly blurry.

There was a slightly different feeling of anticipation than when I saw other guild members.

Did he even see something different in this guy?

Eventually, her words continue.

“I’m sorry, but I have something to discuss with Hunter Kim Do-jin. But… , Could you please make room for me?”

“Ah, yes.”

The guild members quickly got up from their seats with bewildered expressions.

“We’ll talk about what we didn’t say again tomorrow and the day after. There is still plenty of time. Merry!”

“Yes, saint.”

“Our guests, could you please guide us to our accommodations?”

“Okay.”

Guild members leaving the reception room with Mary.

Eventually, when only the two of them were left in the space, her mouth opened again.

“They are really nice people. There doesn’t seem to be any flaws, both in terms of ability and personality.”

“… Really?”

I recognize his skills, but his personality is a bit… , it’s unexpected.

Those perverts have no personality flaws?

No, that’s because it’s a matter of inclination.

Our Yoojung has no flaws in her personality.

Probably not?

“The outside and the inside are two different problems.”

“Ah… .”

To be honest, I didn’t understand, but I forced myself to understand.

If that’s the case for our saint, it must be like that.

These days, I’ve become kinder in my own way.

“If you need anything, please ask at any time. If it’s for their growth, I don’t think there’s any need to spare it.”

“Gasp.”

As much as you want, Rani.

Isn’t this the same as giving you a black card with almost unlimited limits?

It was a time when I was struggling under her infinite love.

“Instead… Even so, can I ask you a favor?”

Please.

“There are as many favors that I can grant.”

No matter how well-intentioned and well-intentioned a transaction is, it is bound to go bad once it is accepted.

Rather, it is a hundred or a thousand times better to take some of the burden off by granting a reasonable favor.

Her words continue.

“Among the apprentices who came with us a little while ago… , Did you say Mr. Yoon Si-hoo?”

“Yes.”

“I wish you would pay more attention to his growth… , is it possible?”

what.

Suddenly, they want us to pay more attention to Yoon Si-hoo’s growth.

“To ask you to pay more attention… ?”

“It means literally. I hope that the growth will be more noticeable than it is now.”

“That’s… .”

This is a difficult question to answer with certainty.

Yoon Si-hoo’s recent growth has been very noticeable, but if he wants to expand further… , well.

There may be no way, but it would require crossing a slightly dangerous river.

I suddenly became curious.

“Is there a reason why it has to be like that?”

Why is she more interested in Yoon Si-hoo’s growth than anyone else?

“That’s… .”

An awkward tone.

Is this a difficult topic to talk about?

As I calmly waited for her thoughts to come together, she soon continued speaking.

“I guess it’s right to tell you. Dojin is also a colleague I trust.”

A trusted colleague.

It was a time when I was pondering over a word that was pleasant to hear, but yet strangely uncomfortable.

“It was faint, but I felt a trace.”

“Trace?”

“Yes. A trace of God’s grace.”

As soon as I hear her words, my eyes widen as if they are tearing apart.

It’s God’s grace.

That doesn’t mean… ?

“He has the potential to become an apostle of God just like me.”

“… … !”
