Somebody Stop the Pope – 207



Episode 207

67. Gifts are best when given and received.

1.

As soon as I dealt with Belphegor the Chinese government deployed troops to Dandong City.

As soon as he confirmed that Belphegor and the demons following him had been cleared out he moved.

Something that is completely transparent.

Until now we had been waiting outside the city because we were worried about losing troops.

It seemed that he had a rough idea of ​​what kind of hell was going on inside the city.

However once the Chinese Awakened forces entered the city the situation was quickly resolved.

“What is the damage situation on our side?”

“12 seriously injured 52 slightly injured. Thanks to the holy water we brought it seems that none of the seriously injured will be in danger of dying.”

“A helicopter will fly in from Shinuiju. We will use the helicopter to return.”

As the situation in Dandong City came to an end the right to provide services was also secured again.

But since they fought with their lives at stake they should be sent back comfortably.

I received a brief report on this battle from Leo Luna.

So while we were talking.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

A group of Chinese Awakened people wearing the Five-Star Red Flag on their shoulders approached.

“As of now we will take control of Dandong City. We would have recovered it even without the help of the Limen Sect but we are truly grateful for the help…”

A middle-aged man standing at the front of the group started telling a shameless story and I laughed at him and answered him.

“I heard that you are watching from a distance but what about the recovery? You must have come to collect the bodies. I don’t really expect to receive any thanks so let’s just move on. Do you see the kids over there?”

I pointed to the children who were receiving treatment from the priests of our church.

Children who were used by Belphegor.

Although my life was saved thanks to the gray divine power flowing out of my body even I could not guarantee what results the gray divine power would bring about.

“Our church will take those children.”

The Chinese representative looked troubled at my words.

“That is impossible. Without the party’s orders….”

“Does it look like I’m asking for a favor?”

To put it nicely they weren’t the kind of people to listen to.

I said this while lightly clenching and unclenching my fist and the Chinese representative bit his lip tightly.

Then he bowed his head slightly and said.

“…I cannot make decisions on my own without permission from my superiors…”

“Just wait and see.”

If you make excuses from above I have a way too.

I took my smartphone out of my pocket and immediately called Sun-ri.

-Hello.

The voice of Sunri coming from the other end of the phone.

Even though it was just one word the fact that the end of his words was trembling shows that my etiquette lesson from last time was very effective.

“it’s me.”

-…What is your business?

“I took care of Dandong City. There are children here that we rescued and I will take them.”

Then a small sigh was heard over the phone.

And after a while Sunri’s voice seemingly resigned followed.

-Do so.

“Our sect’s troops also suffered considerable damage. We also consumed a lot of supplies.”

-If you determine the compensation and file a claim we will pay it out immediately.

Surely those who don’t listen should be beaten up.

Look how mild it has become after tasting something spicy.

Even if the country is going downhill do you still have some money? They say that even if the rich go bankrupt they last three generations. I guess that saying is true.

I nodded in satisfaction and waved to Luna and Leo while still holding the phone in my hand.

“Take care of the children. We will return straight from Sinuiju to Seoul Shinjeon.”

“Yes Your Majesty.”

“yes.”

After sending Luna and Leo off like that I continued the call.

“I have some good news Sunri. I have discovered one of the Purifiers’ strongholds.”

Some information I found out while absorbing Belphegor’s form a while ago.

Among that information was the Purifier’s base where Belphegor usually resided in seclusion.

Since it absorbs the energy it can also absorb some of the opponent’s memories.

Although they were all just trash memories I think it was fortunate that among them was information about the Purifier’s base.

-The Purifier’s base?

“okay.”

-Please share the information with us. We have our own countermeasures in place….

I answered that curtly.

“You want to borrow the power of Baekmyeonggyo?”

-…a group that has a cooperative relationship with us.

“Well I don’t want to get involved in China’s diplomatic relations but this time it seems a bit awkward. Since the Purifier gave us a gift first we should send them a gift in return. Isn’t that only fair?”

I have also obtained information that Baekmyeonggyo is currently affiliated with the Chinese government.

A situation where there is a very high possibility of a collision with us.

The only silver lining is that the clash will now take place in mainland China not on the Korean Peninsula.

I guess I’ll have to be satisfied with that.

-If you say it’s a gift…?

Sun-ri asked me in a frightened voice.

What was meant to happen has come.

The gift plan that was made the moment I extracted this information from Belphegor’s head.

Let’s state that plan with force.

“The place that has been identified as one of the Purifier’s bases is in the Xi’an area. It’s a bit far to send a gift but before that let me ask you one thing.”

-What?

“Can the Purifiers intercept missiles?”

-The core facilities are still under our control. Even if we intercept using our abilities intercepting missiles… Kim Si-woo you!

“Is that so?”

Well then that’s good.

This means that the chances of your gift arriving safely have increased.

I raised the corners of my lips and spoke to Sunri on the other end of the phone.

“Let’s just fire a few shots of heavenly punishment. I’ll sell it to you at a special low price.”

-…Not only did they fire missiles at our territory but they also want to charge us for it? This is crazy….

“no?”

Sun-ri couldn’t answer for a long time when asked if she didn’t like it.

2.

After a hard day’s work we returned to the temple.

The plan is to take a helicopter from Sinuiju to the Pyongyang outpost refuel at the Pyongyang outpost and then return to Seoul.

However since the airspace around the forward base and up to Sinuiju was almost secured there were no major problems during the movement.

They say that the South Korean government borrowed a large number of transport helicopters from Japan and the United States so President Suh’s skills are certainly worthy of recognition.

“Brother!”

When we returned to the temple with our tired bodies Siyeon ran to me as if she had been waiting for me and hugged me.

“The Pope!”

“I’ve been waiting for you!”

The fairies who seemed to be playing with Siyeon also flew towards me while chattering.

I haven’t been able to play with Siyeon much lately because I’ve been going north but seeing Siyeon smiling makes me feel at ease.

Home is the best after all.

“Did the demonstration go well?”

“Yeah! Of course. I learned doctrine and self-defense from Grandpa Rapart! It was so much fun.”

“Really? How about Archbishop Lapart’s demonstration?”

I asked Archbishop Laparte a question.

Then Archbishop Lapart nodded with a rare smile.

“It is as expected of His Majesty’s younger brother. His acquisition speed is very fast. As you can see… His divine power is also increasing very quickly. It seems that His Majesty is paying a lot of attention to him.”

Archbishop Laparte pointed to Snow White who was rubbing her head against Siyeon’s leg.

Then Snow White wagged her tail.

“I’m giving half of the divine power I receive from the Divine Tree to Shiyeon. Am I doing well?

“You’re doing well. I’ll give you a separate reward.”

“award?”

“A cat tower made of Finnish wood. Don’t you think it’s time to get a new cat tower?”

Then Snow White suddenly rubbed her body against my leg and said.

“Master I always respect you! Do you know what I respect next to Limen-sama?”

Shinsura who is steeped in capitalism… The taste of capitalism is definitely thrilling.

I patted Snow White’s head and then looked back as I spoke.

“Put the stuff down.”

“yes!”

Then the first batch of trainees took a sack out of the helicopter.

A bag made of blessed cloth.

What’s more a sacred barrier made of the highest grade sacred stones completely surrounded the handle.

The sword of judgment stuck in the middle of the handle could be called the finishing touch to the dragon’s sword.

“His Holiness.”

The moment he saw the hilt Archbishop Laparte’s eyebrows furrowed.

“Could that be….”

“It’s Belphegor’s incarnation. Belphegor’s soul still resides in it…”

That was when.

“Magi!”

Siyeon who had been quietly watching the sack ran towards it and soon began to strike it with her hands like ferns.

How strong can it be if you hit with a hand as small as a fernbrake?

Kwaaaaaaaang-!

…Kwaaaaang?

“Brother! Did you see that bad guy wiggling around just now? Archbishop Laparte said that bad guys should start by throwing their fists. Is that how it’s done?”

Kwaaaaaaaang-!

Every time Shiyeon swung the handle the ground on the makeshift landing pad shook.

Tremendous power.

It was a sight that made me understand why Archbishop Laparte said that Siyeon resembled me.

Luna who was watching the scene from behind me spoke with tears in her eyes.

“Your Majesty Siyeon is growing up beautifully.”

Can I say that it is growing well?

Belphegor who was sealed inside the bag flinched at how hard Siyeon had hit him.

I felt dizzy when I saw that sight.

At this point I should tell them never to fight at school again.

The moment you fight it’s a greeting accident.

And looking at that appearance I can get a rough idea of ​​what field Siyeon specializes in.

Combat side.

That’s a fighting style very similar to mine.

Otherwise there’s no way he could have acquired that much power in such a short period of time.

“Is it confirmed that Inwook has become the weakest member of our family?”

Our poor Inwook.

If you get hit by Siyeon you’ll die.

Maybe we need to take special measures?

“Siyeon come here.”

I called Siyeon and Siyeon came running to me.

“huh!”

“You shouldn’t hit your little brother. Okay? Even if you fight with your friends don’t swing your fists.”

“What if they hit me first?”

“I’m not telling you to go somewhere and carry it around. If they hit you first… we can just settle it with a slap.”

“okay!”

I can’t see you getting hit again.

At my words Siyeon smiled brightly and made a peck on the cheek and I looked at her with pleasure.

But I don’t think our demonstration will go anywhere and get beaten up.

That alone makes this guy happy.

Oh right.

I have something to tell Archbishop Laparte.

“Archbishop Laparte.”

“Yes Your Majesty.”

“I sold some Cheonpu to China. Please pass this on to Advisor Park Ji-won. I handed over exactly 40 rounds. Since we sold the Cheonpu that the South Korean government had deployed in Sinuiju please replenish the government’s inventory.”

“Okay I understand. But the reason you sold it so suddenly is….”

“It should be on the news by now… Here it is.”

I took out my smartphone and showed it to Archbishop Lapart.

An article that just so happens to be plastered all over the portal site.

“Breaking News) Chinese Government Launches Missile Attack on ‘Xi’an’ Suspected Base of Rebel Forces!”

“Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson: ‘This missile attack is an attack on the evil ones hiding behind the rebels. There will be no civilian casualties.’”

“Where is the civil war in mainland China headed?”

I said looking at Belphegor struggling in the sack.

“You received a great gift so you should return the favor. That’s Korean affection.”

Our Pope please stop this
