Somebody Stop the Pope – 175



Episode 175

3.

A sacred tree where fairies reside.

Fairies usually make their dwellings by hanging their houses on the branches of trees and I gave them permission to make their dwellings on the sacred tree.

This is because they wanted the fairies to take care of the sacred tree.

Those guys are also the best gardeners.

“The Pope has arrived!”

“Guys gather around!”

“Kyowaaa …

“It’s the best!”

“It’s the best!”

As soon as we arrived at the sacred tree countless fairies showered us with blessings.

The fairies all raise their thumbs at me.

My face was burning with excitement at the warm welcome.

“The Pope!”

Leah who can be said to be the representative of fairies.

It was the fairy I first met in Hamheung last time.

This time Leah flew towards me fluttering her wings as if representing the fairies.

“Thank you so much for bringing us here. This place is fantastic and the best! Is it too late to thank you?”

I don’t know who made them but the fairies were wearing modern clothes each with their own unique personality.

Some wear jeans some wear slacks etc.

Clothes that seem to have been made directly for fairies.

I heard that our church’s YouTube channel is raising the stock price and it seems like it was given as a gift by fans who like fairies.

I smiled and waved at Leah.

“Why do I need to say thank you? I owe you guys so much this time so a greeting is fine.”

When Lilith appeared on the Holy Land the fairies did a good job of reassuring the bewildered citizens.

I still remember how she used magic that only fairies could use to protect the safety of the citizens and how she tried to calm the situation as much as possible with her cuteness.

Now fairies are true members of our church.

“It’s not common for family members to exchange greetings. It’s a given.”

Leah shook her head in response to my words.

“It’s bad to take things for granted. If you do something worthy of gratitude you’ll be thanked and if you do something worthy of criticism you’ll be criticized. That’s the way things are in nature!”

“Even the providence of nature….”

“Anyway! We prepared a gift to express our gratitude for what you have done for us so far and to thank you in advance for what you will do for us in the future.”

It’s normal to feel excited before receiving a gift.

But lately annoying things have been happening all the time so the word gift just makes me feel more and more anxious.

“Hey guys!”

“huh!”

“Let’s show it!”

In an instant the fairies that had been scattered haphazardly gathered in one place.

And then the guys all closed their eyes and held each other’s hands.

A circle created by fairies is drawn in the sky.

The fairies who had created the circle immediately began to spin while drawing out their magical power and the magical power flowing out from them created a small pillar.

The height of the pillar was not very high. At most it reached my head.

But after a while something began to form in the center of the pillar of light.

“I was really worried about how we could repay the Pope and that’s exactly what I thought when that evil guy appeared in heaven.”

Leah’s explanation follows immediately.

I listened to Leah’s explanation without saying anything.

“Ah I think we have to do something to protect this place. When we were held captive in that place called Hamheung we had just crossed the dimension so we couldn’t gather much magic power and our health wasn’t good. That’s why we didn’t have much free time but now we do!”

Leah spoke at a rapid pace.

“So I’m thinking of giving the Pope a gift. He’s the first friend we’ve summoned since we came to Earth so I think he’ll be a great help.”

“recall?”

“Yes! Fairy’s precious friend.”

Paaaaat-.

With those words the magical power that had been gathered in the pillar of light quickly spread to the surrounding area. Then in the blink of an eye the faint shape within the pillar of light became clear.

“They are called tree spirits. They are our friends who help us nurture nature.”

‘Tree spirits’ walked out from within the pillar of light.

It’s called a tree ‘spirit’ but on the outside it’s just a doll. And a very cute doll at that.

The eyes nose and mouth were small and close together and the facial features were exactly like those of fairies.

The only difference between these guys and fairies is that their bodies are clearly made of wood.

Anyone who looked at it could tell that it was a wooden body.

Some of them had moss replacing their hair and others were crawling out squirming.

There are 22 numbers in total.

It was the same number as the fairies.

“They are also companions of fairies. Fairies are born with a soul bonded to a tree spirit.”

“…okay?”

“Yeah! They’re friends who help us nurture nature. They also have fighting abilities!”

“These little ones?”

“It’s small in normal times but not when fighting. Watch carefully.”

Leah recited the incantation in a voice full of magic.

Okay then.

Wood thud thud.

The body of the tree spirit standing at the very front becomes larger.

A tree spirit that grows to the size of a single-family home in the blink of an eye.

Not only has his body grown in size but the magical power felt from his exterior has also become quite strong.

“Our fairies have no means of defense other than magic but the tree spirits take care of most physical problems.”

“It must be sturdy.”

“Oh and there’s that too. We’ve been seeing quite a few people leaving trash in this beautiful garden lately.”

It’s a shame.

Even though we announced that leaving trash in the Holy Land could lead to bad things happening there are still people who do that?

I’ve told you several times that you could suffer some terrible misfortune like going bald or losing your sexual function.

“The tree spirits will now roam around the sanctuary and clean up all the trash on the ground.”

“I think Mr. Jin Seo-jun and the Holy Land Management Team will really like it.”

Is it some kind of robot vacuum cleaner?

It’s like an eco-friendly robot vacuum cleaner.

These tree spirits are equipped with bodyguard functions and automatic cleaning functions.

It was a truly wonderful gift.

At first glance they looked strong and I thought that if that physical strength was combined with the fairies’ magical abilities they would be difficult to deal with.

Oh of course based on the standards of other awakened people not just me.

“You’ve recovered your strength to this extent. Don’t you want to create your own forest?”

I asked him casually because he seemed like he could conquer any rough terrain.

If you think about it these guys are basically just renting a room in my house.

But the answer came back immediately from Leah and the fairies.

“Why us?”

“I like this place the best!”

“Comfort is the best.”

“I don’t want to go anywhere else.”

“You really want to kick us out Pope? We’ll work harder! I’m sorry!”

“Sorry!”

Some fairies even shed tears.

“Oh look over there.”

“Is Kim Si-woo teasing the cute fairies?”

“He was indeed scarier than he looked.”

I heard people passing by muttering. I suddenly felt like I had become a villain.

I said in an urgent voice waving both hands.

“No that’s not true. I was worried about what would happen if you guys left the Holy Land.”

Then Leah answered on behalf of the group.

“We’re going to keep living here! Humans bring us delicious food and fun things happen all the time. Where else can you find a place as fun as this? So don’t worry! If you need anything done do it whenever you want. I’ll definitely pay for the food!”

Anyway these fairies talk a lot more than Luna right?

Still I’m glad you like it here.

I think I can continue to use you… no cooperate with you in the future.

“Hmm.”

Looking at the tree spirit called Gift it seems like the cause of the anxiety I had been feeling since earlier wasn’t here. So then what on earth could have been the problem?

I feel like I’m missing something.

It was around the time when I was carefully organizing my thoughts.

“His Holiness.”

Leo who should have been resting approached me wearing his priestly attire that had been repaired and immediately the fairies climbed onto Leo’s body.

Leo said carefully pushing the fairies away.

“I received a call from Mr. Eun-taek Lee who was dispatched to Busan.”

“okay?”

“Mr. Lee Eun-taek has confirmed a group impersonating the name of the Limen Church in Busan and has written a report on the information he has gathered so far and sent it to us.”

Leo handed me a tablet PC.

A document that appeared to have been written by Lee Eun-taek himself was open on the tablet PC.

“Mr. Lee Eun-taek certainly has the ability to investigate information. But you’re on vacation.”

“Because the matter was serious I couldn’t just rest.”

“Let’s meet up.”

I slowly checked the report.

And 3 minutes later.

“This is why.”

I was able to find the cause of the anxiety I had been feeling for some time.

-…Based on such evidence we request that the organization be clearly defined as a heretic. It is seriously damaging the reputation of the religious order so prompt action is required.

“Leo.”

“Yes Your Majesty.”

“It’s a trip to Busan. Let’s pack.”

“Yes Your Majesty.”

You never leave me alone for a moment.

These rotten bastards.

4.

“Archbishop Leo: His Holiness the Pope himself will come down. (2 hours ago)”

‘The Pope himself….’

Eun-taek Lee checked his smartphone and took a deep breath.

The first glorious mission he received from the church.

We will personally confirm the Limen religious organization that appeared in Busan.

It wasn’t a particularly difficult mission. If you think back to when I was doing espionage overseas about 10 years ago this wasn’t a big deal.

Infiltrating an organization comprised primarily of civilians was a simple task for him.

Even the things he confirmed by coming here were typical of the methods of cults.

A method that gives a sense of accomplishment by making people feel a sense of belonging and giving them a job.

What surprised Lee Eun-taek when he came here was that there were surprisingly many young people.

“Brother?”

“I’ll be leaving soon.”

Eun-taek Lee grabbed the smartphone he was holding crushed it into powder and then immediately threw it into the toilet.

And then the water came down.

As soon as he opened the bathroom door and went out a bright-faced young man greeted him.

“I was worried because you were in the bathroom for so long.”

“I’m not feeling well. I’m sorry.”

“No. If the grace of Limen reaches you I think that chapter will be sufficiently healed.”

A young man who sells Limen’s name without hesitation.

Eun-taek Lee quietly looked at the young man. Then he thought about the deeds committed by this organization that called itself the Busan branch of the Limen Church.

There are dozens just from what he’s figured out.

‘Sexual exploitation of believers excessive demands for donations severing ties with family. There are countless examples.’

The evil deeds committed while selling Limen’s name.

It was even confirmed that bribes were given to politicians and high-ranking public officials.

It didn’t take long to get this much information.

Because I personally dealt with the executives of this organization.

The effectiveness of the interrogation technique that was directly taught to us by Archbishop Leo was so outstanding that it left no trace.

Eun-taek Lee let out a soft breath. Then he asked the young man who had been watching him under the pretense of providing guidance.

“Brother Choi Seong-jae how did you come to be here?”

The young man who was asked his question flinched for a moment. But he soon answered with a gentle smile.

“I wanted to learn about Limen.”

“Then it would have been better to go directly to the shrine in Seoul.”

“You can’t necessarily receive teachings just by visiting the Seoul Shinto shrine. There are so many people in the holy land. And the prophet who lives here is very knowledgeable about the Bible.”

“Oh really?”

The so-called ‘prophet’ who leads this organization.

He was the guy who said he learned the Bible directly from the Pope and Lee Eun-taek was also someone I met yesterday.

A middle-aged man who smiled kindly at her.

But behind the scenes there was a guy who was doing all sorts of evil things.

“When I listen to the prophet’s sermon I feel like my stuffy chest is being cleared. Isn’t that right Brother Eun-taek Lee?”

“Well I felt like I wanted to pierce the Prophet’s heart.”

“…yes?”

“My first mission is over. Thank you Brother Choi Sung-jae. I will make sure to tell you about your story.”

“What are you talking about…”

Eun-taek Lee felt a huge and wonderful energy approaching from afar. And only then did he smile comfortably.

“He is coming.”

Our Pope please stop this
