Somebody Stop the Pope – 304



Episode 304

3.

Exactly ten hours after I arrived at the Vatican.

I spent ten hours diligently walking around the Vatican searching for traces of Limen.

Relics containing the power of Limen.

Still we were able to achieve some positive results.

-10 years ago the power of the relics disappeared. It was not announced to the outside world but the entire sect was put on high alert. It was only two years ago that the relics began to regain their power.

The power contained in the holy relic was clearly the power of Limen.

The power of Limen which should have been destroyed was gradually being restored.

Unlike on Earth the relics here were damaged perhaps due to parallax.

With the help of Archbishop Bayer I worked hard to collect clues.

The more I checked the relics the more certain I became that Limen was alive.

However it was still unknown where she was.

It seemed that in order to obtain a crucial clue one would have to go directly to Limen’s <Sanctuary> in Eden.

The space where she resides as a divinity.

It’s a place you can’t enter without Limen’s invitation but you have to find a way to get in somehow.

There were many relics in other places besides the Holy Land so there was no reason to give up already.

anyway.

As I was spending my days diligently searching for the holy relics Archbishop Bayer came to see me.

“As Your Majesty commanded guests have arrived from the Kingdom of Leon and the Kingdom of Ragharn.”

“The kings themselves?”

“The King of the Kingdom of Ragharn came in person but the King of the Kingdom of Leon sent a letter.”

The old man showed me the letter.

A letter bearing the Griffin’s seal.

The contents of the letter can be summarized as follows:

“Listen Limen Order. Not only are you deceiving us but you are also spreading ridiculous rumors that the Pope has returned alive? We have tolerated you because you have contributed to the peace of the continent but we can no longer sit by and watch.”

In short letters wrapped in words that really got on my nerves saying that I would pay the price for lying.

I said as I burned the letter in flames.

“This guy is very hasty both in the past and now. I think he’s the kind of guy who lives without thinking.”

If he were the king of the Kingdom of Leon it would be that gnome Haize who always massaged my legs after battles.

Anyway I had business to attend to in the Kingdom of Leon.

“Are there any relics of our sect left in the basement of the castle of the Kingdom of Leon?”

“Yes that’s right. As Your Majesty commanded some of the holy relics have been placed in the armory of the Kingdom of Leon.”

“The cause is good.”

The Kingdom of Leon is… well it’s a kingdom that was built close to the ‘End of Death’ where the final battle with the Demon Kings took place.

This means that the kingdom is still exposed to the threat of magic.

It’s ridiculous that he rebuilt a kingdom on such a land in the first place but our church has placed some of the holy relics in preparation for any eventuality.

If you think about it they have been doing us a favor all along but now they are opening their mouths at us.

I walked forward slowly stretching slightly.

“I’ll go and find that guy later.”

“Preliminary entry procedures….”

“Hey what kind of entry procedures are there between us? Just raid the palace over there.”

Who dares stop me?

Archbishop Bayer nodded and opened the door.

I went back into the office.

There a familiar man was waiting for me.

Long red hair.

There’s a slender body there.

Even the blue eyes overflowing with gunfire.

The identity of the man who anyone can call handsome is none other than King Yuri of the Kingdom of Ragharn.

As soon as Yuri saw me she fell to the floor and screamed.

“Your Holiness the Pope!”

“Yuri it’s been a while!”

“You came back so why didn’t you contact me?”

If anyone saw me they would think I was a guy who really cared about them.

The guy continued talking with his head on the floor.

“I never dreamed that the moment would come when I would see Your Holiness the Pope again. To Your Majesty Limen… I can only thank You Limen. Great Limen!”

“Yuri.”

“Yes Your Majesty!”

“rising.”

Yuri flinched at my words. But soon she stood up from her seat with a bright smile.

Is the king a king?

Yuri is wearing clothes that look obviously expensive.

Yuri said in a trembling voice.

“His Holiness has not changed one bit since then.”

“Let me ask you one thing.”

“yes?”

“I heard that people are spreading rumors these days that I’m dead?”

Then Yuri reacts immediately.

“No way! That’s all a plan that came from that bastard Haize. His Majesty is alive and well! Spreading such blasphemous rumors— Kkaaaaaaaaa!”

I raised the corners of my mouth as I lightly cracked the guy’s joint.

Even back in the old days Haise and Yuri were Dumb and Dumber.

Perhaps because they were princes of fallen kingdoms they were both very vengeful and very foolish.

Yuri is a relatively cautious person compared to Haize.

As he is a cautious man he must have come in person to confirm the authenticity of the letter I sent.

“What if you weren’t here today?”

“Yes… yes.”

“They would have destroyed the palace first.”

This was the truth.

Those who repay kindness with enmity should be met with a just and bloody punishment.

Yuri responded to my chilling threats by repeatedly bending her waist.

“You are so healthy isn’t this all thanks to your mercy Limen-sama! I will continue to be loyal to you.”

“I will visit Eden periodically from now on. Be sure to tell your descendants.”

He is a very smart guy.

It shouldn’t be too difficult to figure out what I mean.

I said patting the guy’s shoulder slowly and Yuri nodded shuddering.

“Of course.”

“Well it’s been a while since I’ve seen you so should we grab a meal?”

“good….”

“Patriarch Bayer.”

“Yes Your Majesty.”

“I’ll go to the Kingdom of Leon and have dinner tonight. Please tell the others that I’m sorry.”

“Understood Your Majesty.”

While I’m at it I should check out some of the relics of the Kingdom of Leon.

As far as I remember….

Perhaps ‘it’ is in the armory of the Kingdom of Leon.

4.

He took Yuri and headed straight to the Kingdom of Leon.

It’s a distance that takes about 4 hours to run at full speed from the church.

Oh of course 4 hours was only 4 hours by my standards.

I ran around enjoying the nature of Eden for the first time in a long while and didn’t realize how quickly time passed.

“Wow wow wow.”

“How much did you run for that? Are you kidding me?”

In my right hand I was holding a glass and with a pale face it was continuously vomiting.

This is the royal palace of the Kingdom of Leon.

The moment I came here with Yuri

Beep beep beep beep!

The alarm spell that had been placed throughout the palace sounded and knights poured out from all directions.

“There is an intruder in the palace!”

“All forces assembled!”

Knights wearing the griffin symbol which can be said to be the symbol of the Kingdom of Leon began to gather quickly.

The knights of the Kingdom of Leon initially charged forward with great momentum.

With a ferocious demeanor that seemed ready to tear the intruder apart at any moment.

But there were a few people among those knights who recognized my face.

“Your Holiness the Pope?”

“Everyone… Everyone put down your weapons! Now! If you want to save your life put down your weapons now!”

“Commander! Who on earth is that priest that you’re so scared of….”

Paaaaah.

One of the men who appeared to be a knight commander shouted while hitting the back of his subordinate’s head.

“This is the Holy Father the hero who saved Eden!”

Of course the subordinate who was hit in the back of the head by the Knight Commander instantly fainted.

I waved my hand slightly towards the commander and the other knights who were showing the utmost courtesy towards me and said:

“I don’t really have anything to say since you’re an uninvited guest. Nice to meet you everyone. I’m sorry for your hard work at this late hour.”

“I will report to His Majesty the King in person.”

“Oh don’t worry about it. Just tell me where Heize is right now.”

“Your Majesty is currently having a banquet with the nobles in the banquet hall….”

“Oh really? Is there a lot to eat there? I came a long way and I’m a little hungry.”

“We’ve invited the best chefs in the kingdom so you’ll love it.”

“It’s nice to hear that. Ah this is King Yuri of the Kingdom of Ragharn.”

“Ugh ugh ugh!”

It’s not an ordinary incident for me to show up in the middle of the night with the king of another kingdom.

The articles are completely turned upside down.

It was very satisfying to see the atmosphere heat up in an instant.

I passed by the knights and slowly patted them on the back. Then I asked in a quiet voice.

“Which side is the banquet hall?”

Then a newbie with a silly expression pointed to the right and shouted loudly.

“Just go this way Your Holiness!”

“Oh thank you.”

“Your Holiness the Pope is the benefactor of my childhood and the hero I want to emulate throughout my life! I am so touched to see you here!”

I think they still feed me in Eden though.

I patted the back of the rookie who was showing me his burning passion once again. Then I smiled brightly and said

“It looks good. Could you please show me around?”

“It is such an honor!”

One thing’s for sure this idiot rookie is probably going to get a bad rap after I get back.

Look at the Commander’s expression over there.

If I weren’t here I think I would have half-killed this article right away.

After finding an excellent guide just 5 minutes after invading the palace we walked towards the banquet hall with light steps.

The palace which had been built not long ago had an overall neat feel.

Moreover the dwarves’ skills were visible everywhere.

“Haize that guy was originally friendly with the dwarves right?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“Is there anything missing in your palace?”

“We are adjacent to the elven tribes…. so we have a garden that the elves themselves have decorated. It is the pride of the palace.”

Yuri nodded with a faint smile.

…what an unlucky guy.

I didn’t like him because he was handsome but now that he’s become a king he’s even more unlucky.

“But Your Majesty.”

“why?”

“Did you really come all the way here to get dinner? By any chance….”

Yuri pauses for a moment.

I waved my hands in annoyance.

“I’m annoyed so don’t interrupt me and get straight to the point. I’ll answer you.”

“To get revenge on me and Haize…”

“Price? Of course you should pay the price. You tried to take the back of our church’s head… You didn’t expect me to just let it slide did you? No way. I didn’t teach you that.”

The penalty is expected to be paid in installments over at least 100 years.

It’s largely my fault for not thinking carefully about how the situation in Eden would unfold because I was only thinking about returning to Earth.

This is the chance to properly restore the order of Eden.

I planned to make the most of this week.

Then wouldn’t you have no regrets?

“We’ve arrived!”

The banquet hall was much closer than I thought.

The rookie bowed deeply toward me and said:

“It was an honor to serve the Pope!”

“May Limen’s blessings be with you. Thank you.”

“Ugh!”

The new employee stepped back with a very embarrassed expression when I greeted him with a smile.

…Is this what it feels like to be a star with a passionate fan base?

Something is a bit strange though.

Ah let’s stop the small talk here.

I looked around the ornately decorated interior of the banquet hall.

A splendid chandelier.

You can clearly see nobles dancing while wearing expensive jewelry and servants running around busily with food and drinks.

“Didn’t that guy Haize enjoy a debaucherous life in the first place? It would be nice if His Holiness himself taught him….”

“Don’t think I’ll scold you any less just because you shit on Haize’s face.”

“yep.”

Yuri didn’t miss the opportunity and dug in but it was no use.

I found Haize happily enjoying the banquet in the middle of the banquet hall.

Do you still not know what happened?

He looks very happy.

“Hey Haize.”

I walked slowly towards him and waved.

Then Haize turns his head and meets my gaze.

And at that moment….

Clang.

The glass the man was holding hit the floor and shattered into pieces.

“The Pope?”

My former subordinate who expressed his great joy.

I said smiling at the guy.

“What’s with your expression? You look like a debt collector.”

“…How on earth did I get here… No did I really get back….”

“That’s informal speech.”

“…is it?”

Cute guy.

Well if you think about it he is a debtor.

Because I have something to give to that guy.

“We have come to steal all the holy relics that our sect had provided to your kingdom. Are you satisfied?”

Our Pope please stop this
