Somebody Stop the Pope – 56



Episode 56

3.

According to Lee Se-hee the name of the group they belonged to was <Purifier>.

For a group that serves the Demon Race this could be said to be an unnecessarily pious name.

So when I asked myself what exactly the purpose of purification was the answer I got back was excellent.

– Ordinary people with no abilities and players who are no different from ordinary people! Aren’t they unnecessary on the new Earth? Compared to them we were chosen and are superior. For a better future we will purify the Earth by eliminating the zealous elements and move towards evolution… Ugh.

It was a truly extreme idea of ​​the chosen people. It was an idea that would make Hitler who was in hell applaud if he heard it and it was nauseating to even think about it.

What was even more shocking was that Lee Se-hee looked at me with her eyes shining while she said those words even though she was in the middle of an interrogation. That meant that she was really absorbed in that idea.

“You used to export viruses but now you’re even exporting eugenics? What a great country.”

“Well I guess China is originally a country that exports a lot? I looked it up on the internet and it seems like it’s a neighboring country to South Korea but judging from His Majesty’s expression it seems like they’re not on good terms.”

“Have you ever seen neighboring nations in Eden getting along well with each other?”

“no.”

“It’s the same here. And the history of conflict is incredibly deep.”

The results of Lee Se-hee’s interrogation can be summarized as follows.

『1. She joined a group called <Purifier> in Shanghai China and received power (magic) from an unknown transcendent being.

2. In Korea there are already branches of <Purifier> established in major cities. The one mobilized for this operation is the <Seoul> branch.

3. It is so closed that even the branch managers do not know the location of each other’s altars (a kind of hideout).

Lee Se-hee said that if he were spared along with that information she would help him find a branch of <Purification> located in South Korea.

He said that if it was his own magic it would be easier to track him down.

Our answer to that is.

“You’re a fucking idiot. Do you think we can’t do what you can do? You’re useless now so shut up.”

“Krrrrrrr.”

Kwaaaaaaaang!

Replaced by Luna’s Spicy Fist.

Lee Se-hee who was hit directly by Luna’s fist flew into the wall and soon fell to the floor foaming at the mouth.

“Your Majesty don’t touch me. You’ll get mad.”

“Are you okay?”

Is madness some kind of coronavirus? Is it that easily contagious?

Despite my dumbfounded expression Luna smiled brightly and said.

“Hey I’m crazy to begin with so it’s okay. Anyway it seems like they have a base in China so shouldn’t we go there and sort it out ourselves?”

“To conclude you can’t go. It’s not that I won’t go it’s that I can’t go.”

There was no need to think about it for long.

In the current Earth Irregulars are classified as strategic weapons like nuclear weapons in the past. In such a situation I dare to set foot in China?

At that moment war breaks out. It is a future that can be easily imagined without having to think too deeply about it.

What kind of country is China?

When it comes to pride it is a country that is not inferior to any other country in the world. If you go to those guys and say ‘Please make way for us so that we can erase the devil worshippers in your land’ they will gladly give it to you.

“There’s no way to do anything unless they make the request first. We can’t start a war to catch those guys whose scale we don’t even know yet.”

The image of the church was already good so there was no need to damage that image by insisting on war.

Because our church is a peace-loving church.

“Hey can’t you just throw them all away?”

“Lord Reventon. I think we need to try to talk privately.”

“And what if the conversation doesn’t go well?”

“If you put your bodies together sincerely it will definitely work out. I believe so.”

…Anyway it is a peace-loving church.

I watched the siblings’ conversation with a trembling face then stood up from my seat.

“Let’s put the issue of the Purifier on hold for the time being. Leo write a report containing the results of the interrogation and share it with the government.”

“Then what should he do?”

Luna said this while pointing to Lee Se-hee who was lying on the ground with foam in her mouth.

I frowned slightly and then approached Lee Se-hee who had fallen.

And then he whispered quietly in her ear while her eyes were closed.

“Did you think we’d just leave you alone if you pretended to faint?”

Even to my soft whisper Lee Se-hee didn’t respond.

But it didn’t really matter.

Because I had already decided a while ago what to do with her whether she was unconscious or not.

“Just stay that way. From now on you will no longer be an Awakened One but a normal person. There was a way to purify the magic in your body but… it wasn’t even worth worrying about.”

Woooooooooo-!

Through the hand I place on her head my divine power penetrates into her body.

Only then did Lee Se-hee who had been pretending to faint flinch. Judging from the way her lips were twitching it seemed like she had something to say but she had no intention of listening to him from the start.

After a while.

Stop-.

A sound of something breaking echoed inside Lee Se-hee’s body. And soon dark red blood began to flow out of her mouth.

The blood was evidence that the magical organs she had used throughout her life as a sorcerer had been destroyed.

I closed the message window that appeared before my eyes.

And he spoke to Lee Se-hee who was shaking her body intermittently.

“Didn’t you say that ordinary people without any abilities are not needed on Earth? How does it feel to be one of those ‘enthusiasts’ you talk about?”

I heard it from Minister Yoo Seon-ho before coming to the temple.

Lee Se-hee is scheduled to be brought to trial as soon as he is handed over to the Department of Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence and then executed in accordance with the Special Act on Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence.

She will eventually be sentenced by a civilian judge and face her end as a civilian in front of the public.

And I am sure that such an ending is the most fitting for this woman.

“Luna. There are agents of the Ability Management Department outside the temple. Hand this woman over to them.”

“Is there any possibility?”

Luna dragged Lee Se-hee out like a sling just as she had brought her here.

I exhaled deeply as I watched Luna walk away.

Maybe it was because I was relaxed but I felt like I was getting tired quickly.

4.

“I’m back…”

I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve had a sweet home.

I muttered weakly as I entered the front door. Home is the best after all.

There is no need for phytoncide as breathing in the familiar air of a home seems to reduce fatigue.

“Big brother!”

“Our demonstration!”

“I thought you forgot my name oppa!”

“But you called me often didn’t you? I was a bit busy saving the world.”

“lol.”

If you add Siyeon’s cuteness to that there was nothing more to be jealous of.

Isn’t this paradise?

I hugged Siyeon and gave her a good shake before putting her down on the floor. Then I carefully stroked Siyeon’s hair which looked like it had just dried.

“There are a lot of customers today. Is that okay?”

“Of course. If you’re my guest you’re my guest!”

“Kids the landlord calls you in.”

Because the hallway was so narrow I took off my shoes first and entered the living room and the three guests of the day appeared after me.

“Siyeon your sister is here.”

“Siyeon. It’s been a while. How have you been?”

The first two guests were of course Luna and Leo. Originally according to doctrine one of them Leo or Luna should remain in the temple but today since they both worked hard they were given special permission.

I am Limen’s representative so no one can challenge my decisions.

When I saw Leo who would normally have remained silently in the temple following along obediently I wondered if he also needed some rest.

The temple’s security has been left to the special forces dispatched by the Department of Abilities Management so there shouldn’t be any problems.

And if something happens I can just run there. How long does it take to run from the temple to my house?

“Seungwoo come in too.”

“Oh but… is that okay?”

“Of course. You’re part of our family now.”

The only remaining guest was Seungwoo.

Seungwoo’s father hasn’t been discharged from the hospital yet so I brought him to our house. There’s no one at the temple so I can’t leave him alone.

But that doesn’t mean I can tell you to go to the hospital where your father is and sleep there.

But Seungwoo.

“Why are you blushing there?”

Seungwoo was hesitating while looking at Siyeon. His face was also red and he was in a perfect ‘first love’ mode.

“Hello? My name is… Jin Seung-woo. I’m 12 years old. I’m in the 5th grade of elementary school. I’ve heard a lot from the Pope. Are you Si-yeon?”

“Hello Seungwoo oppa. My name is Kim Siyeon. I’m in the third grade of elementary school!”

Is it because I called you oppa?

The corners of Seungwoo’s eyes went up. Now he was openly smiling.

At that sight I tried to move my body without realizing it but Luna came up next to me and stopped me speaking quietly.

“Leave them alone. They’re cute.”

“This… this fox-like….”

“Oh well. I told you to leave it alone.”

Because of Luna I could only watch the two of them greet each other warmly until the end.

As I was looking at Seungwoo with sparkling eyes Inwook’s room door opened and a panda appeared.

“Ah… Hyung you’re here?”

“Did you just wake up?”

“I didn’t sleep. I was just editing the recording of today’s live broadcast just a moment ago.”

So dark circles have taken over my eyelids.

“You’re so cute Inwook. I’ll help you relieve some of your fatigue.”

Luna lightly stroked Inwook’s cheek. Then Luna’s hand glowed with divine power and the divine power instantly seeped into Inwook’s body.

“Thank you sis.”

“Luna.”

“yes?”

“If you touch my little brother you’ll really get hurt. I warned you in advance.”

Luna laughed out loud at my earnest warning lightly hitting my back.

“Are you jealous of your little brother? If you’re jealous just say so! Touch my cheek. I’ll gently pat you.”

Let’s just not mix words.

For a moment I forgot that I shouldn’t feed the servants.

I looked at Luna with contempt and then put the shopping basket I was holding down on the chair.

“Since we have so many guests let’s spread out a table in the living room and grill some pork belly. I bought some meat and vegetables to wrap.”

“The gas burner is in the compartment next to the shoe rack. Give me the vegetables for wrapping. Let’s wash them first.”

As Inwook tried to take the bag of vegetables as if it was a given Luna intercepted it and smiled.

“Your Majesty I will do it.”

“Yeah but do you know how to use the sink?”

“Of course. I did the dishes last time too.”

Well Luna’s adaptability is beyond imagination. She can use a smartphone almost effortlessly so there’s no way she can’t wash lettuce.

I nodded and Luna hummed as she headed toward the kitchen.

Inwook who had been quietly watching the scene looked at me as if something had occurred to him.

“That’s right brother. I heard grandma is coming back home in a day or two?”

“Has it already happened?”

“It’s about time for him to come back. He said he’s coming by charter plane. He asked me to tell my brother that he’s thankful for his first grandchild.”

“There was no separate contact for me.”

“That’s just the way you are.”

Grandma is coming back…

When I returned to Earth I wanted to see my family the only ones I had never seen before.

But when I actually thought about meeting my grandmother again I was a little scared.

Because he is such an unusual person.

“I need to set aside some time for tomorrow or the day after.”

“Shouldn’t that be the way to go?”

“You should do some work in advance too.”

“okay.”

As is typical of conversations between brothers we continued our conversation with brief exchanges of words.

Just as I was about to tell Inwook about the story from the terrorist attack scene today.

“Big brother.”

I noticed that Siyeon who had come up to me without me realizing it was looking at me with an expectant expression.

As soon as Siyeon met my eyes she smiled brightly and said:

“Can I ask you one favor?”

“Of course. What would you like?”

And then at Siyeon’s request that followed I opened my eyes wide and asked back.

“Huh? Suddenly?”

Our Pope please stop this
