Somebody Stop the Pope – 212



Episode 212

5.

I don’t know how many times I ran around trying to lift the alarm that was in effect throughout Seoul.

Call Director Kim and then call Minister Yoo Seon-ho.

Finally to President Seo.

Only after mobilizing every connection he had within the government was the state of emergency in Seoul lifted.

I was really sweating.

Because of this guy Beth’s trolling everything in Seoul almost came to a standstill.

“Aren’t you sure your head isn’t working properly?”

-I’m sorry Pope. Could you just give me a break?

“Can’t I just kill you once? Since you’re a spirit I think you’ll be resurrected.”

-I will work hard.

Still the situation was more or less resolved.

The state of emergency in Seoul was lifted and the city returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

The big thing was that I stopped them right before the evacuation operation started.

I let out a deep sigh of relief and looked at the cute white deer with sparkling eyes in front of me.

The deer was smiling faintly.

The hair is still shiny so it seems like he has been sleeping well until now.

-Hello! I’m the deer that was sleeping next to you. I don’t really have a name. If it’s okay could you give me a name?

“This is our first meeting?”

-This isn’t our first meeting. I’ve been watching you the whole time. I saw you last time I came to the land I live in.

“It’s a bit scary when you say it like that. If it’s the land you live in….”

-Um my friend said earlier… You guys call that place Japan?

Have you been watching me since I went to catch Yamata no Orochi?

A spirit with a talent for stalking… This is a bit refreshing.

I looked at the guy with an awkward expression.

It’s taking the form of a cute deer now but it was really creepy when it flew here earlier.

White snake.

It was literally in the shape of a snake.

Of course anyone who sees that appearance can’t help but think it’s a monster.

Still this deer guy has one advantage over Beth.

-Sorry. Honestly I didn’t know humans would be this surprised. If I had known I would have come secretly.

That’s the point of knowing how to apologize.

He has a good sense of humor.

Is it because I see Beth banging her head next to me?

“Did the guy who knew do that?”

-I thought humans would like it.

“It’s natural for a normal human being to be afraid.”

-Is that so?

Maybe it’s because they’re spirits but their ability to empathize is so low.

I shook my head and sighed deeply.

Still I guess I should be thankful that he’s a guy I can communicate with. He doesn’t seem like a bad guy by nature.

“It’s a deer. It’s a deer.”

“What a beautiful deer.”

“How about a green dragon? People on Earth go crazy when they see a green dragon. It must be popular.”

You could tell by the fairies clinging to the deer.

Fairies basically hate evil things.

It is essentially a flying good and evil judgement machine.

-Give me a name.

“Why have you been so obsessed with names all this time?”

-Behemoth has a name… but I was so upset that I didn’t have one.

“If you keep doing that I can name it whatever I want?”

-good!

I never knew I’d be naming a deer.

It’s the name of a deer….

There is one name that comes to mind.

“Let’s do Rudolph.”

-Rudolph? What do you mean?

“It’s a name that can give hope to children.”

-Hope… Okay! Call me Rudolph now.

It took less than five minutes to come up with a name.

So our new friend’s name was decided to be Rudolph and I asked him a few questions.

“But why are you only moving now? From what I heard you woke up a long time ago.”

Then Rudolph sat down on the floor and said:

-I sleep a lot. I’m also very lazy. That’s why I did that. I was going to rest for a while and then move but I was really low on spirits? So I contacted Behemoth. He asked if there was a good place. He said this place was good.

“Our church’s sacred place isn’t a sanatorium.”

-Hehe good things are good things. Ah! But I thought it would be rude to come empty-handed so I brought something!

As Rudolph spoke he suddenly spat something out of his mouth.

He spat out not just one but dozens of them.

Crystals that shine brightly.

I could feel a strong magical power in that crystal but there was no need to check it precisely.

It was a magic stone.

That too is a top-grade magic stone.

-These are things I picked up after cleaning up the things around where I sleep. I kept them aside just in case but would they be okay as a gift?

Rudolph looked at me with sparkling eyes and said:

A magic stone much larger than a fist.

If there are dozens of such magic stones it would be difficult to convert them into monetary value.

“Can you make me a little sack of fairy friends?”

“of course!”

The fairies made a bag for me with magic and I put the magic stones in it. Then I smiled brightly and said to Rudolph

“Welcome to the holy land of the Limen Sect dear customer. Feel free to rest and relax at any time.”

-Do you like those items? I have more in my nest. I like shiny things so I tend to collect them as soon as I see them. I’ll bring you more later!

“Wow you’re a great customer. Think of this as your home and rest comfortably. It’s okay to run around. A lot of people come here so is that okay?”

-I like humans.

“That’s fortunate.”

But unlike Beth she’s a friend who knows a thing or two.

Plus she’s smarter than Beth.

When I saw the magic stone and his expression changed he said that there was an extra magic stone in the nest and increased his value.

Although it looks like a cute deer on the outside its essence is closer to a snake.

Look at that clueless look on my face.

But what does it matter if it’s a snake or a deer?

“I look forward to working with you in the future Rudolph.”

-Please take good care of me until I recover my spirit!

“I am the one who needs to take good care of you.”

It’s like a fortune rolled in.

But when I think about it Beth is even more annoying.

My friend from next door had a lot of magic stones in his nest but Beth didn’t have anything like that right?

“Beth don’t you have anything else saved up in Baekdu Mountain?”

-No. I’m not the type to collect things like that guy…

“You should have saved some.”

-hmm?

“Keep your head in your mouth.”

-i get it.

In this way one more friend was added to the holy place of our church.

6.

“A white deer appears in the Limen Sect’s holy ground!”

“Is this the new mascot of the Limen Church?”

“The holy place of the Limen sect chosen as the number one place to visit with your lover.”

“The best place where fairies animals and beautiful flowers come together.”

Our church’s sacred place which is becoming more and more popular with each passing day.

They say that in the past there were quite a few people who left trash behind but these days there aren’t any.

This is because the tree spirits summoned by the fairies diligently manage the holy land and also because an article like this was recently posted on the Internet.

〈Title: Request for explanation from the Limen Church〉

Content: I visited the Limen cult’s holy place with my girlfriend a month ago. But after that my hair started falling out. My girlfriend was the same. When I searched the Internet I found many people complaining of the same symptoms as me. I’m going to join forces with them and sue the Limen cult. If you’d like to join please leave a comment.

Didn’t you do something bad there Mr. N?

Author: I don’t remember doing anything bad other than leaving trash behind.

Nkkkkkkkkkk sir that’s a bad thing. It’s illegal dumping.

Isn’t it blasphemy to throw trash in a sacred place?

The Nrimen Church opened it up because they thought of the citizens lol

Author: Isn’t it a bit harsh to lose your hair just because you threw away trash?

The N-Limen Church Shrine is also a place to commemorate those who died at Ground Zero. Honestly what’s the difference between that and just leaving trash on the altar?

Limen-nim who forgives these trashy guys to the point of losing hair… is truly the goddess of mercy…

Rumors were quickly spreading on the Internet that those who had committed crimes such as pickpocketing and illegal dumping of trash at the sacred site of the Limen sect were being judged by Limen.

And that’s not just a rumor it’s fact.

Desecrating the holy land is tantamount to blasphemy.

Thanks to this the civic awareness of citizens visiting our holy land has greatly increased so this can be seen as a positive effect in its own right.

“by the way.”

Time passed very quickly and two weeks passed by and the day of the international exchange fair arrived.

“The development of Sendai Holy Land is also progressing smoothly. Construction of various auxiliary facilities including accommodations has begun and road maintenance work has also begun.”

“I can build the core facilities myself so please pay a little more attention to the auxiliary facilities.”

“Yes Your Majesty.”

I was receiving a report on the Sendai Holy Land from Archbishop Laparte in my office early in the morning.

The Sendai Holy Land was being developed at a tremendous pace with extensive support from the Japanese government.

In Japan the interest of the Japanese people was so focused that there was already talk of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

The facilities I have prioritized for installation in Sendai Holy Ground are production facilities including a consecration hall.

The shrine located in Seoul has now used up all of its free space so it was planned to make better use of the Sendai shrine.

Since it is connected underground to the Holy Land anyway there will be no problems related to transportation.

“Thanks to Belphegor who is sealed underground the skills of the Inquisitors have improved significantly. The results of the tests conducted in preparation for the dispatch to China have been very good. They have now reached a level where they can effectively suppress magic.”

“It was worth catching Belphegor. I am very proud.”

As expected there is a big difference between having and not having practice materials.

The magical energy flowing from the Demon King’s incarnation can be seen as the best of the magical energy.

Training to suppress such magic with divine power is one of the most important trainings for an Inquisitor.

I nodded and said to Archbishop Laparte.

“We will place the Sword of Judgement in the Holy Land we build in Shanghai in the future. Since we are landing directly in China we will need a strong deterrent.”

“We will make plans that fully reflect that part.”

“What is the financial situation of the church?”

“Good enough. The Limen Foundation has also been successfully launched and the medical facility issue is being resolved by taking over some of the existing hospitals.”

“It seems like all the hard work I’ve put in has paid off.”

The scale itself has changed compared to when we first returned to Earth.

At that time it was difficult to even build a temple.

However thanks to the quick recruitment of many talented people the church grew larger than expected.

This was also possible because the value of the sanctuary which can be said to be the main source of income for our church was higher than in Eden.

In a situation where the economy was being reorganized around hunters it could be seen as a natural result since most of the goods coming out of the castle were being consumed by hunters.

So the situation report was roughly finished and I glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.

9:30 am.

The appointment time has come.

“I’ll be back soon.”

“Yes Your Majesty. Take care on your way.”

“I will make lots of money.”

As the number of businesses managed by the church has increased expenditures have also increased significantly.

How could I refuse the government’s generous offer to cover the special lecture fees for this event?

I walked out of the temple smiling and soon found Director Kim waiting for me.

“Director Kim.”

“Hello Pope Kim Si-woo.”

“The weather is nice. Isn’t it a perfect day to watch a fight?”

Director Kim smiled faintly at my words.

“I think so.”

“Let’s go.”

“I will serve you right away.”

It was the beginning of the ‘1st Awakened International Exchange’ which was full of talk and trouble.

Our Pope please stop this
