Somebody Stop the Pope – 170



Episode 170

6.

The demonstration lasted a full 30 minutes.

Siyeon who started her presentation with such enthusiasm that it was hard to believe she was an elementary school student finished her presentation with an excited expression.

“That’s it! This concludes Kim Si-yeon’s presentation! I would like to once again thank Kim In-wook for helping me prepare the presentation materials!”

Clap clap clap.

The sound of applause is heard twice.

One was of course Inwook and the other was…

“Snow White what are you doing?”

“Of course I applaud.”

It was the sound of applause that Snow White had played through her smartphone.

When did the guy who was sleeping on the cat tower just a moment ago wake up?

And suddenly appearing and clapping with a smartphone is also a hit.

To summarize Siyeon’s presentation it is as follows.

-I want to be like my brother! I’ll beat up bad people and help people who are having a hard time! If Seungwoo is learning why can’t I? I can do it too!

With Inwook’s help I prepared the PPT neatly and even gave a good example of Seungwoo.

A situation where even the justification was perfect.

Siyeon said that she briefly attended a public speaking academy in the past but no matter how I look at it there’s no doubt that our Siyeon is a genius.

I found myself nodding without realizing it.

Oh and in the process I was able to find out who had been blowing the wind into Siyeon.

The culprit is

“See you later.”

“Oh why? Siyeon should know what kind of condition she’s in. How long are you going to treat Siyeon like a child?”

It was Snow White.

It seems like Siyeon is trying to keep it a secret but I can see it all.

The culprit is always nearby.

As expected of a divine being Snow White seemed to have instinctively realized what Siyeon’s condition was and immediately started working.

“That’s because I feel stronger when I have Siyeon by my side. I’m much happier than when I’m with my master.”

Since you’re with the gods did you receive any blessings related to the gods?

I took a deep breath.

Looking at Siyeon’s expression it was really sincere. And in my experience it’s hard to overcome Siyeon’s stubbornness.

Siyeon is also a bit stubborn like me.

I’m not usually the type to be stubborn but once I make up my mind I try to accomplish it no matter what.

That demonstration even went as far as to present it with Inwook’s help?

If you simply say ‘no’ without any justification something big will happen.

Did he notice my feelings?

Inwook who had been quiet carefully began to speak.

“Think about it seriously hyung. Siyeon didn’t get much sleep and prepared.”

“Siyeon?”

“Yeah. Of course I couldn’t sleep with you either.”

In-wook is not really a part-timer but if Si-yeon even cut down on her sleep… then it’s 100% sincere.

This is because Siyeon usually prioritizes sleep in any situation.

That means I also need to take Siyeon’s presentation seriously.

Was my desire to raise Siyeon in my arms just my greed?

“Big brother.”

Siyeon who had successfully completed her presentation cautiously approached me.

And then he said hugging me tightly like before.

“Just as my older brother protected me I want to protect my older brother someday. I will never lose him again.”

Only then could I realize what was still in Siyeon’s mind.

Five years of absence.

A sense of loss at having lost someone so precious who was always with you.

Although Siyeon didn’t usually show it the memory of me disappearing for five years must have remained in her mind for a very long time.

“I’ll continue to study hard at school and make sure you don’t have to worry!”

It is still unknown what grace was bestowed upon Siyeon.

If I had known this would happen I should have asked Limen in advance. Limen might know.

No they all left.

How could I refuse the story of my brother who promised to protect me and never lose me again?

I looked at Siyeon for a long time in silence. Then I slowly took Siyeon’s hand and smiled.

“My brother is really serious. I will think about it seriously too.”

I hope Siyeon doesn’t get caught up in the storm.

But that was just my greed.

Seeing this little kid talking like that it seems like Siyeon has her own thoughts.

“really?”

“Then. When have you ever seen your brother lie to you? I don’t know about Inwook but has Siyeon ever lied to you?”

“That’s right.”

“Why are you hitting me all of a sudden?”

Inwook who was next to me spoke as if he felt wronged and I shrugged my shoulders at him.

“If Siyeon takes prophetic lessons at our church… who will be the weakest member of our family? Hey Kim Baek-seol tell me.”

Then Snow White tapped on her smartphone without a moment’s hesitation. Then a blunt voice came out of the smartphone.

-Kim In-wook.

“See? Even animals say that.”

-Including me by the way. So Inwook will give me a lot of Churu. Then he will show mercy.

Even adding the footnote at the end.

Beth hadn’t come home yet because she was playing with the fairies today and even if Beth were in the house it was clear that Inwook was the weakest.

“It’s really unfair.”

“why.”

“If you think about it I’m the second believer so why don’t I have any abilities?”

“That’s… what can you do with your fate like that?”

If you try you will find your talents blossoming like Siyeon.

Although baptism is a good method I had no intention of baptizing Inwook.

As soon as Inwook heard my firm answer his shoulders slumped. Then Siyeon who had been quietly listening to our story patted Inwook on the back and said.

“Don’t worry little brother.”

“Siyeon your little brother is only our Siyeon…”

“I will protect the weakest member of our family! Trust me!”

…Is that comforting Siyeon?

Looking at Inwook’s expression it doesn’t seem like it….

anyway.

So Siyeon’s presentation was more or less finished and I said to my siblings with a smile.

“Inwook take Siyeon out for a bit.”

“okay.”

In-wook listens very well. In-wook grabbed Si-yeon’s hand got up and immediately left the room.

Then Snow White who had been excitedly tapping away at her smartphone also got up.

“It’s time to eat some churu. I’ll go first Master! Get some rest….”

Kwang.

I moved my divine power slightly and closed the door to the bedroom.

Then Snow White immediately stands on end.

“Master…Master?”

I raised the corners of my lips at the frightened Snow White. Then I said with a cheerful expression.

“Are you the one who tricked Siyeon?”

“I’m not flirting this is just….”

“Ah that’s okay. I’m not trying to hit you right now. This is just disciplinary action.”

“…Please save me.”

Kim Baek-seol you’re dead.

7.

The next morning.

“Your Majesty you look in a good mood today.”

“Oh really? Is it because you relieved some stress yesterday?”

“Um but there’s a lot of white fur on your clothes? It looks like Snow White’s fur. Does Snow White shed fur too?”

“It doesn’t shed but summer is coming soon. I shaved it in advance because I thought it might be hot. It’s nice to be cool.”

“It looks pretty. Do you have any pictures?”

“Come check it out when you get home.”

“yes.”

I was dealing with Luna who came to my office in the morning.

“How did Siyeon get her prophet education?”

“I decided. Siyeon has a strong will. But I won’t leave it up to you alone.”

“Your Majesty do you know that?”

“what?”

“They don’t teach you how to drive within your family. I think it’s the same in combat.”

In short it meant ‘You’re out of education.’ I looked at Luna with a sly smile.

“I was planning on leaving anyway.”

“I think we should first find out what kind of grace was bestowed upon you… It’s a shame. Archbishop Lapart is an expert in that area.”

“But Luna why are you wearing armor? You don’t usually wear it.”

I asked pointing with my chin to the pure white plate armor Luna was wearing.

Luna who had been wearing a rider’s outfit under the pretext of being lazy was wearing armor inside the temple today as if something had happened.

“Oh this? The Ability Management Department requested my cooperation today so I just wore it.”

“Request for cooperation?”

“I heard that a big gate is coming to Gwangmyeong-si Gyeonggi-do today. I’m taking the kids with me.”

These days most of the small requests for cooperation are being handled by executives.

It would be bothersome for me to personally go to every gate and it would also be burdensome for the government to mobilize irregulars anywhere.

I’m fine with anything.

Because there is less work to do.

In addition it was advantageous that we could develop students through these requests for cooperation.

“Did you know that Gwangmyeong-si is my hometown?”

“Of course. I heard that there is talk of erecting a statue of His Holiness in Gwangmyeong City. Of course I understand.”

“…My full body image is there too?”

“That’s what they said.”

At this rate statues of me will be erected all over the country.

It’s difficult it’s difficult.

If that really happens… I might die of shame.

“Today Raid will select five students from the second batch to participate. Here is the list.”

I accepted the paper Luna handed me.

Five names written there.

The one at the very top of the list was a Japanese trainee named ‘Shigeji Kashimi’ whose instructor was a very familiar guy.

“Jaemin gritted his teeth and raised him. The results are really good.”

“He’s got great fighting skills and tenacity. The only thing is that he doesn’t meet many people so his social skills are a bit lacking. I heard he used to be a hikikomori. At first he had a hard time adjusting but he’s getting better as time goes by.”

“Okay. Okay.”

It was a very positive virtuous cycle.

The second batch of trainees are raised under the leadership of the first batch of trainees.

The second generation is now over but later on when we move on to the third and fourth generations the experiences of our seniors will be passed down intact.

And those experiences would soon become another strength unique to our church.

“Take care on your way.”

“Yes I will go and come back leisurely.”

“But haven’t there been a few cases of gates appearing in the metropolitan area recently?”

“Even the Department of Ability Management said it was unusual?”

“okay?”

I’ve heard that since the Lost Lands campaign began the appearance of gates and dungeons has become extremely rare.

But then suddenly they say a gate is going to be built right under Seoul and something feels stuck in my throat.

“What’s the rating?”

“It’s a large B-class. I think you don’t have to worry too much since I brought back some of the main force from the Lost Lands just in case. But why are you a little anxious?”

Luna asked slyly meeting my gaze.

“Your Majesty your intuition is 100% certain in that regard. Is something a little cheap?”

I nodded slowly to her question.

“I don’t have a good feeling. Take Leo with you when you go. Take Grace with you too.”

I think if you add Leo and Grace you’ll be able to deal with most variables.

Luna smiled faintly at my words.

“I can’t stand seeing my younger brother resting while my older sister works. Thank you Your Majesty. I’ll definitely take Leo with me.”

“…Oh okay.”

“Then I will go.”

Luna bowed and finished her greeting then walked out of the office with light steps.

I slowly exhaled as I looked at the door Luna had opened and walked through.

Since you’ve added Leo and Grace to it I guess there won’t be any problems.

8.

But an hour later I couldn’t help but realize that my complacency was a flag.

[Scenario assigned to <Dimension: Earth>: <Age of the Grip>]

[We will proceed with the scenario once we have determined that sufficient preparations have been completed.]

[Defend the invasion.]

Our Pope please stop this
