Somebody Stop the Pope – 20



Episode 20

5.

Team Leader Kim’s skills were truly amazing.

Didn’t your father say you were great?

Team Leader Kim who was wearing a small bracelet that his daughter had given him completed traffic control very well despite the extreme situation.

“Then let’s pretend this never happened. Do you both agree?”

This is the conference room of Anyang Branch of the Ability Management Department.

The incident at Anyang Gate just an hour ago was coming to an end much faster than I had expected.

An accident in which the representative of the Dokkaebi Guild a representative guild of Korea was unilaterally thrown to the ground.

If you look at it this way a truly major accident is a major accident.

From the appearance of the other world’s people to CEO Choi Seo-jin being thrown into the ground twice.

These were incidents that would have been enough to shake up South Korea if they had only leaked out.

“Can’t we just have a few fights between men? Hahaha! I have no regrets. Maybe it’s because I’ve had something spicy after a long time but it feels refreshing.”

“The representative has made a really big concession.”

“You’re giving in? If you think about it it was something that happened because I got excited. I should have kept my kids’ mouths shut but… the chicks were passed out and our kids who were still conscious weren’t the type to go around telling anyone! I have no complaints.”

Surprisingly CEO Choi Seo-jin didn’t raise any issues at all.

No rather he apologized to me as soon as he got out of the ground.

Did you say that you couldn’t hold back the competitive spirit that was boiling over after a long time?

Anyway the urgent fire was put out and after that we moved here and discussed what to do next.

“Then I guess we can just cover this up.”

Team Leader Kim let out a deep breath as if he had let go of his worries.

“All the byproducts from the gate will be taken by the Goblin Guild. Do you have any objections Siwoo?”

“yes.”

“And CEO Choi Seo-jin. I ask that you pay special attention to maintaining confidentiality. After all this is a sensitive matter…”

“Don’t worry about that.”

CEO Choi Seo-jin drank a glass of water and then burst into laughter again.

“Our kids are proud of the fact that they belong to the Goblin gang. Do you think those guys would go out and say things like ‘Our leader got pounced on like a horny little bastard and got screwed?’ Hehe.”

“…That horny little bastard….”

At my words CEO Choi waved his right hand and smiled faintly.

“Can I make a suggestion Siu?”

“Yes that’s right.”

What question are you trying to ask?

I nodded and CEO Choi continued speaking with shining eyes.

“How about forming an alliance with our Goblin Guild? There are people here who can prove the alliance agreement so it would be simple if we both agree.”

“Affiliate agreement?”

What kind of nonsense is this?

“It’s common on this floor. There are advantages to being able to share infrastructure such as joining together to participate in raids or sharing dungeons.”

“I think there’s a misunderstanding. We’re not a guild. We’re a religious order.”

Despite my explanation CEO Choi continued speaking with a smile.

“This is a group that has two Awakened members who can overwhelm S-class rankers. Do you think other people would look at it as a simple religious group? Don’t you think so Team Leader Kim?”

Team Leader Kim who had been quietly listening to our conversation also nodded at CEO Choi’s sudden remark.

“Our Ability Management Department also thinks so.”

“Hehehe look Siwoo. This isn’t something you can think of so easily. Don’t forget that there are already quite a few people watching you Siwoo. Some are already moving… Ah you can think about the alliance slowly.”

Having finished his business CEO Choi stood up from his chair without hesitation.

Then he immediately reached out his hand to me and said:

“I hope to see you often in the future Siwoo.”

“Ah… yes.”

“Thanks to you I was able to feel the burning passion for the first time in a long time. I will definitely repay this favor. I will take my leave now. Hehehe!”

CEO Choi left the conference room without hesitation with his signature smile and Team Leader Kim and I watched his back without saying a word.

Kuung-.

After the door closes.

I said in a voice that was devoid of truth.

“He’s not an easy person.”

“Didn’t I warn you in advance?”

“Yeah but who knew it would be like that?”

“Still I’m glad that things went much more smoothly than I expected. I think CEO Choi really liked Siwoo.”

Why does it sound so creepy to hear that that muscular beast of a man likes me?

I shook my body slightly and asked Team Leader Kim while drinking the coffee that was in front of me.

“When can you take Leo back with you?”

“The basic examination has already been completed. We will take steps to ensure that you can return together. We will contact you separately later regarding your identification including the Awakening Registration Card.”

“It always causes trouble.”

“…Thank you for understanding.”

When I earn some money later the first thing I should do is buy some medicine for Team Leader Kim.

Anyway things ended well.

First let’s take Leo back home.

6.

My original plan was to change Leo’s clothes and then move.

But there were no clothing stores nearby and even if there were they wouldn’t have fit Leo’s body type.

So I just called a taxi and took it.

With Leo and my abilities we could have run over there but we held back because we were afraid that if we did a video titled “A shocking bipedal monster?!” would be uploaded to the internet.

It’s a secret that because of Leo’s size he took a large taxi and the taxi driver looked at him with fear.

anyway.

“Brother you’re here.”

It was almost dinnertime when I was able to get home.

As soon as I opened the front door and entered the house the savory smell of soybean paste stew hit my nose.

I was a little hungry after having just drank coffee and exerting myself at the gate earlier.

“Oppa!”

Siyeon came running over with a piece of rice on the corner of her mouth as if she was eating.

I smiled as I patted Shiyeon’s head.

“Did Siyeon have a good time at school?”

“Yeah! What were you doing oppa?”

“Brother you worked hard and came back.”

“Honey you should hurry up and eat dinner together… Huh? You’re a guest! Hello!”

Siyeon who had been rubbing her face in my arms found Leo behind me and soon bowed down to greet me.

And Leo responded to Siyeon’s polite greeting.

“hello?”

He greeted me with an ambiguous expression not sure if he was smiling or not.

The blunt expression he had on until the moment he was slammed into the ground by my fist has long since disappeared.

He was such a blunt guy that it seemed like even if you stabbed him not a single drop of blood would come out.

“right.”

Now I remember.

“Don’t you guys really like kids?”

Even in Eden Leo took exceptionally good care of the children.

Whenever I had time I would go to the daycare center in the parish I was in charge of and spend time with the children.

However because I had no tact I always stood stiffly in front of the kids.

At my words Leo nodded while looking at Siyeon.

“Because children are proof that God has not given up on the world.”

“Hello. This is my younger sister Siyeon. Siyeon. This man is called Leo. He will be helping you with your work from now on.”

“Hello Uncle Leo. You’re so tall! You’re cool!”

Leo pauses for a moment at Siyeon’s praise.

He seemed to be thinking about what to say for a moment but he soon nodded stiffly and answered.

“Thank you for the compliment Siyeon. My name is Leo Lumen. I look forward to working with you in the future.”

It was around this time that we were exchanging greetings at the front door.

“Brother you’re here…”

Inwook popped out of the small room while he was editing a video in the room.

As soon as Inwook saw Leo he froze in place.

Of course that’s the reaction most people have when they first see Leo. Siyeon’s reaction smiling brightly without being scared is a bit unusual.

I said to Inwook while scratching the ball with my finger.

“Didn’t you say earlier that you were bringing missionaries?”

“…That guy isn’t he a missionary?”

“Even though he looks like this he is a highly respected priest in Eden. He was also my most trusted comrade in the war against the demons. The two of you greet each other.”

This time too Leo listened to me obediently.

“My name is Leo Lumen a faithful servant of Limen. Mr. Kim In-wook.”

“Do you know my name?”

“His Holiness has often said this.”

Oh was that so?

I don’t know either. Did he tell you while you were drinking?

Well whatever. We can become closer in the future.

I looked at the two of them awkwardly for a moment then roughly took off my shoes while rubbing my stomach with my hands.

“Let’s talk while we eat. Inwook aren’t you going to eat?”

“I was in the middle of eating and sending an email in a hurry.”

“Good. Let’s eat together. Leo you should eat together too? Inwook this guy is really good at cooking.”

“Is that okay?”

“There’s no way it won’t work. Are you okay Inwook? Siyeon?”

“Huh? Huh….”

“huh!”

They say even Mt. Geumgang looks better after a meal.

So Leo and I took off our shoes went inside the house and headed straight to the dining table.

“I didn’t prepare much because I thought only my brother would come… If I had known this would happen I would have gone to the market earlier.”

“This is a feast. Isn’t it Leo?”

“That’s right. They all seem to be prepared with sincerity.”

On the table were soybean paste stew ripe kimchi and jeon that my grandmother had made for me during Chuseok.

“When did you say Grandma was coming?”

“That’s right. I got a call from my grandmother yesterday. She said she made a friend in America and would be back later.”

“You didn’t even answer my calls.”

“That’s just the way you are.”

I’m a little sad that my grandson returned safely from another world.

Because he was originally an eccentric person.

I nodded slightly and sat down at the table and Leo also sat down in the chair next to me.

Then soon I began to feel Leo’s sturdy deltoid muscles on my shoulders.

The table is definitely narrow.

If I had known this would happen I should have spread out a table in the living room and eaten.

Did the sight of the two of us like that make you feel sorry?

Inwook asks as he puts down the spoon.

“Shall we just spread out a table and eat in the living room?”

“No…..”

Siyeon who had been staring blankly at us at Leo’s answer said as she pulled up a chair next to her.

“Uncle Leo! Come eat next to me. I’m small so it’ll be okay.”

Oh my goodness.

Leo glanced at me and I nodded.

“Then excuse me for a moment Siyeon.”

“Hehehe you can just call me Siyeon.”

“You cannot be so rude to His Holiness the Pope’s brother.”

“My brother is the Pope?”

I just smiled at Siyeon’s question and picked up my spoon.

“Let’s eat first. I’m hungry.”

I should make time to talk to Siyeon later. Come to think of it I haven’t told Siyeon what happened in the other world.

When I see that I think Siyeon is really mature.

I thought you’d ask first because you were curious.

“Then I’ll eat well again!”

Siyeon picked up the spoon again.

“Thank you Limen for giving us our daily bread today.”

Leo also prayed for a moment and then awkwardly picked up the spoon.

I also looked at them for a moment and then started eating right away.

“This is it.”

Because it was so cold the food was very delicious.

Savory soybean paste stew and pan-fried pancakes.

Every time my mouth started to feel greasy I put some well-fermented kimchi in my mouth and I couldn’t be happier.

As expected Koreans are obsessed with rice.

This was the taste I missed the most in Eden.

As the satisfying meal continued a rather amusing scene unfolded before my eyes.

Crunch.

Leo who had never used chopsticks before shows off his divine chopstick skills and quickly finishes off the rice and pancakes.

“Using chopsticks is so hard when you first start out so why are you so good at it?”

“Isn’t that nothing compared to fighting the demons for 39 hours?”

“That’s not even a comparison to begin with… No just keep eating.”

That wasn’t all.

The boy ate the soybean paste stew with a spoon without hesitation then opened his eyes wide and let out an exclamation of admiration.

“Oh Limen.”

I couldn’t help but laugh at the sudden exclamation that came at such a sudden timing.

“Kick.”

“Um I’m sorry Your Holiness. Even though it was my first time eating it it was so delicious…”

“It looks good because the food suits your taste. Eat a lot.”

I nodded in satisfaction as I watched Leo eat.

I’m going to work really hard starting tomorrow so I need to eat well.

Aren’t ghosts that have eaten and died pretty?

Our Pope please stop this
