32, about the melancholy old man of the Pope and the black reading of the strong love

As far as most people think, the world is guided by two main religions.

First, a third of the capital of an island nation in the far east is a "holy place", and a new religion that worships the god called "science".

The second is the largest and most widespread cross religion formed by the 'Lambs of God' around the worship of the 'One God'.

In general, due to the extreme rejection of 'heresy' by Crucidian cult and the contempt of 'science' for the gods, the relationship between the sorcerer users (non-magicians) of the Crucidian cult and the academy of science is very bad.

However, because of the wide spread of Crucialism, it is natural that in the process of propagation, it will be more or less influenced by the local customs of the mission.

As a result, in today's world, the Crusades can be roughly divided into three denominations.

A church organization based in Russia that specializes in ghost hunting, specializing in the review and deletion of paranormal phenomena. Russian conversion.

Holding the identity of the Anglican Church.,After many [Reformations] in history, it has gradually become stronger.,There are many internal factions.,The power is complex.,On the surface, the supreme leader is the Queen of England.,It's a rare cross sect that has a friendly attitude towards the school city.。 English Puritanism.

And finally, with 2 billion adherents in the world and churches in 113 countries, it is the largest cross-sect in the world, calling itself the most orthodox cross-sect. He is good at the operation and management of the world, with the Vatican as the center of the Holy Land, and denies other sects to the extent of 'unfriendly purposes', and actually stands at the apex of the Crucifixion, and the most opposed to scientific religion, the Roman Church.

- Vatican, Roman Orthodoxy -

Matthew Leith was depressed.

His melancholy ranged from worrying about a bakery that he heard about yesterday about his believers on the verge of going bankrupt, to whether there would be another big news in an oil-producing region that would hurt the 'futurists who had been blinded by evil things'.

Matthew, as the current pope of the Roman Church, is undoubtedly very special in the history of the Roman Church—even if it is not surprising that some radical popes call him a 'heretic'.

In the most straightforward way, Matthew actually interprets the meaning of all dogmas in the direction of 'true goodwill' in his own way of thinking without violating the teachings of the Cross, rather than distorting them in 'a form that is favorable to himself'.

The good will receive the blessing of the Lord, the wicked will be punished, and the lost will be redeemed.

Wholeheartedly support the righteous saint (note: a saint in the broad sense of the word, not the stigmata bearer), and at the same time, even in the face of a witch, he will not be burned at the stake on trumped-up charges, but will try his best to persuade him to do good, and he will be a good man with the idea that 'the merciful Lord will forgive all people'.

Sincerely thinking about the happiness of the 2 billion believers around the world, and those who are not believers, this is Matthew Leith.

However, whether he wants it or not, it cannot be denied that the 'evil' in this world will always be in an advantageous position, while the 'good' will always face a situation where he has to retreat and endure.

So, Matthew was very melancholy.

In St. Peter's Basilica, in the Pope's special workshop for handling religious affairs, after dealing with the work handed over to him, Matthew looked at the stove beside him, staring at the flames that were dancing in a daze.

- "Old man, I'm going to school city. ”——

In a trance, Matthew seemed to see the girl dressed in black again, speaking in a high-profile tone that seemed to look down on everyone, but at the same time holding the bread sprinkled with sugar with her greasy hands, puffing out her cheeks and thinking of the figure of the chinchilla.

The girl who is always strong, and is burdened with the fate of making people pity.

Dantalian

A girl who was called a heresy by the people around her as a 'demon god', and while accepting the fear of others, she was imprisoned in the Vatican.

When he first met her, Matthew was just a young trainee priest, and he could only watch from a distance as he sat alone in the gazebo in the corner of the church, basking in the morning sun and reading old books.

The moment the mind looked at her figure, it was robbed of beauty that seemed to be physical violence.

In that case, if she was in ancient times, she must be the princess in the story and legend, waiting for the brave to save her.

At that time, Matthew did not have the courage, and in his opinion, he was just a little priest, how could he be qualified to climb the saint-like figure.

However, want to get close to her. At the very least, talk to her who is always alone.

However, as he rose in status, Matthew became mature and courageous, and he also learned many truths.

For example, the girl is not a noble saint at all, but a 'trophy' of the great saint of the Orthodox Church, who returned from English custody a hundred years ago, and is the 'true and most heretical demon god' with a physical body, and the reason why she is not executed is only because it is still necessary for her to exist in this world to fight against the existence of some evil taboo.

Therefore, while imprisoning and monitoring the girl, the Orthodox Church restrained her body with armor and chains, and only when the evil taboo that needed to be fought appeared, it would be temporarily released under the 'guard' of the Knights-

- "Dog Eats Dog"

Those who despise and loathe her call her that, call her 'work'.

Shaken by the rumors, Matthew subconsciously stayed away from her, and at the same time wanted to try to erase the magnificent figure in the morning sun that day. However, during a certain "dog eat dog" against the taboo, Matthew is ordered to accompany her to be watched.

So, Matthew finally couldn't help it, and replied to the cold girl who had erected a wall of knowledge and books between herself and others.

"You obviously have such power in your body, haven't you ever ...... Want to escape from Orthodoxy? I remember that your home country is the United Kingdom, right? Don't you want to go back? ”

Matthew, who tried to pretend to try to persuade the girl to defect, said this to her. At the same time, I was also looking forward to it in my heart, expecting the girl to answer in the affirmative.

Because, in this case, the imaginary image of the 'holy woman' that is rooted in my heart will definitely disappear.

However, in the face of such Matthew, the girl first showed a surprised look, and then said in a slightly trembling voice that had not spoken for too long, obviously in a strong and arrogant tone:

"First of all, my motherland is not Britain, if you go back to the time when I got my name and place of origin, I should be a person from the 'Tang Dynasty', and secondly——"

She deliberately raised her head and held up the brass locks embedded in her chest to seal her power, and although it seemed to be a sign of 'contempt', Matthew always felt that he was like a puppy begging for food.

"It's obviously a fool who will make his legs tremble because of guilt just by saying such a rebellious thing, then don't think about pretending to be in front of me, fool, of course, as the price of my mercy to hide your gaffe for you-"

The reckless girl said to the clumsy Matthew, and the prisoner to the jailer, in the same language as commanding the subordinates.

"I'm hungry! Buy me bread sprinkled with delicious Italian sugar! ”

Although Matthew actually knew very well that even if the girl complained to the Orthodox Church, the cardinal would not choose to believe the words of this 'ultimate villain', but Matthew still ran to the bakery that had not yet opened before it opened, and spent several times the price to buy the most expensive 'sugar bread'.

After that, and during the brief time when he was escorted back after the 'work' was over, Matthew, who was asked by the girl to 'be like the deacon of Van Domhain', came back to his senses and was already hanging on his body with special foods from more than a dozen countries of the European Union...... For some reason, there are many kinds of bread.

"Although I was a little disappointed not to taste the authentic buns-"

At the moment of separation. At the moment of parting. When the girl is imprisoned and sealed again.

The hot and humid wind from the Atlantic swept the girl's dreamy black hair like a starry night, and she, Daliane, finally introduced herself to Matthew.

Then, she said—

"—I hope the next time we meet, we can go to the East and try it together, Leith."

“......”

Obviously, it seems that there are a thousand words that can't wait to pour out, but when the words come to the mouth, they can't say anything.

It's just that, facing the back of the disappearing door in the thick door, Matthew swore to his heart.

You must be the one who can help her, if not give her complete freedom, but at least, give her the pleasure of food.

Then when they meet again, he will proudly tell her that he has not been corrupted by the darkness with the kindness of her kind heart that she evaluates as a 'stupid'.

...... After so many years, Matthew is no longer the young man who was full of momentum at that time, he became the Pope of Orthodoxy as he wished, and she is still the girl of the past, as if the passage of time cannot leave the slightest mark on her.

But

Is your current self really good? Was it really successful? Is it really possible to redeem all the people, and then run to the girl and tell her in a loud voice, "All the people in this world have been forgiven by the Lord, so now you are also included"?

Simply, it's a malicious joke from the One God.

Even if he becomes the pope, in terms of the result, it will not change anything.

Whether it's the decaying and deteriorating Holy See, or the lonely girl who fights against taboos.

The right seat of God

In the face of them they can only compromise again and again, because the Orthodox Church needs their strength and has to make concessions to them......

Has such a self really become a figure who is enough to hold his head high in front of that girl?

Therefore, Matthew, who is already old, can't say it anyway.

- "Old man, I'm going to school city. ”——

Darien's words swept through his heart again.

School City,That is,The sect called 'science' in the East.。

Matthew was not averse to science, but he only thought that "the necessary degree of science is sufficient."

After all, Matthew is old.

He could no longer accompany Darien to battle. Even, in this Roman Orthodoxy, which is covered by the right hand of the god and the fire of the right, it is impossible to even select a trustworthy knight to protect the girl.

(The child who was ordered to protect Darienne was a subordinate of the Fire on the right, but he was also a young Oriental...... ）

Matthew's heartfelt prayer that he would be able to take the place of his powerless self and protect Dariam in a pagan sanctuary full of pagans.

I also hope that one day, Daliane will be able to usher in true happiness.

And yet—

Bang! The metal door of the office room was violently pushed open, and a gasping knight rushed to Matthew.

After a half-kneeling that gave a sense of insincerity, the knight informed Matthew of a message.

One, ever since he learned of the 'special' status of the boy who had replaced him, had been worried about the news.

"Your Majesty, the right seat of the gods, the Wind Lord in front and the Fire Lord on the right, are fighting outside the Holy Gate of the church!"
