Somebody Stop the Pope – 57



Episode 57

5.

The next morning.

“Is this really what you want Siyeon?”

“Yeah! Big brother you don’t like taking me to school?”

“No that’s not it… just a little.”

“Hey Your Majesty. It’s not like Siyeon asked me to buy her something expensive nor did she ask me to do something difficult for her. Is it really that hard to take her to a place of learning?”

“That’s right Your Majesty. It’s not that difficult is it?”

“No I like it when you take me to school. It’s good but just…..”

I looked around trailing off.

It was because of the hot gazes I had felt since earlier.

A lot of people were looking at us and chatting. There were elementary school students middle and high school students in their uniforms and even adults who looked like they were going to work.

Everyone around us had their eyes focused on us.

“Wow! Aren’t those people the same people?”

“That’s right that’s right.”

“Is that tall guy the folder holder? He really looks like he’s good at folding people.”

“Isn’t your sister really pretty? I have to show off at school today. Can I ask her to take a picture with me?”

If someone saw us they would think we were from a famous idol group.

I smiled awkwardly at the attention pouring in from all sides.

And when I saw the demonstration I couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

“Phew.”

“Why big brother? What did you ask me?”

“It’s just that Siyeon looks cuter today.”

Siyeon’s shoulders were slightly raised. It was a so-called proud state.

Moreover his expression is bright and he seems to be in a very good mood.

Before we ate pork belly last night Siyeon asked me this favor.

“Demonstration: Take my older brother Leo and Luna to school together. Yesterday at school the kids were watching a YouTube video with my brothers and Luna and I told them that they were my family. But a boy named Choi Sung-hyun told me not to lie! He said that everyone knows that your older brother is missing so why do you care so much? He keeps swearing and hitting other friends! He teases them! He’s a really bad kid.”

“Me: Um so you want to go to school with me?”

“Demonstration: Yeah!”

“Me: Okay. But can’t my little brother go with me?”

“Demonstration: Yeah!!”

…That’s the end of last night’s recollection.

Back to reality a few more orders were added this morning.

That’s right.

“I should have said that I washed my priest’s robes.”

“It’s a blessed cloth so there’s no need to wash it right? And you probably can’t avoid the attention I’m receiving anyway. There’s a saying on Earth: If you can’t avoid it enjoy it! Your Holiness why don’t you enjoy this attention?”

Leo and I will wear priestly cassocks.

And Luna will wear that ‘shiny armor!’

These were the two.

Before I could even think about it Luna and Leo gave their approval out of the blue and this crazy scene unfolded as a result.

To be honest I didn’t feel burdened by the attention.

Even in Eden people would run to us and cry in joy wherever we appeared. Compared to that this level of interest is cute.

And I wasn’t embarrassed or anything because I was also someone who liked attention.

just.

“It’s annoying. It’s annoying…”

I just didn’t want to be disturbed on such a peaceful morning.

But after a while I couldn’t help but regret blurting out that it was annoying.

“Big brother. I’m sorry… I asked you a useless favor….”

Siyeon started sniffling as she looked at me.

“Si Si-yeon. It’s not that I don’t want to bother bringing you here I just…”

“Come to Siyeon’s older sister.”

Luna looked at me while giving Siyeon a light hug. Then she said with an expression that said she was going to die from embarrassment.

“How can you trample on your only sister’s request so cruelly? You cold-blooded bastard.”

“I also think that Your Majesty was at fault in this matter.”

Seeing Leo getting involved there it was like they both just caught me.

I glared at them both alternately but soon gave up with a deep sigh.

It was around that time that I was fidgeting while looking at Siyeon.

Siyeon who had been rubbing her face against Luna’s armor suddenly turned her head.

“This is Choi Sung-hyun.”

As soon as I heard that I looked at where Siyeon’s eyes had landed.

There a boy of about the same age as Siyeon was standing there blankly staring at us while carrying a backpack.

A slightly bewildered expression.

Siyeon didn’t miss this opportunity and ran towards the boy. Then she said with a truly ‘smug’ expression.

“I told you you’re my family?”

“Was it really true? The kids said your big brother was missing. They’re just… They’re just cosplayers right? You paid them to do the part-time work!”

“No! He’s really my brother!”

“No I absolutely don’t believe it!”

Kids these days are really scary.

I didn’t know that he knew everything about other people’s families. He also has a rich imagination perhaps because he watches a lot of dramas and movies.

I didn’t know you’d go so far as to infer that I paid to hire a part-time worker. You arrogant bastard.

I leisurely approached the boy named Choi Sung-hyun. Then I bent my knees for a moment and made eye contact with him.

“You’re the kid named Seonghyeon… no you’re my friend. Nice to meet you. My older brother is Kim Siwoo. Siyeon is my older brother.”

“hello.”

“Yes Seonghyeon. It’s nice that you have such a bright personality. But does Seonghyeon know who I am?”

Then the boy answered in a voice like a crawling ant.

“Black… Pope.”

“Oh I see. Then do you know who the two people behind me are?”

“Folder seat and sister….”

By the way Luna’s nickname is just Noona. It is a nickname that was created because when you apply the initial consonant rule to Luna it becomes Noona.

I nodded in satisfaction at Seonghyeon’s kind answer.

Then he quietly brought his mouth to the guy’s ear and whispered in a very small voice.

“I don’t know who told you that Siyeon’s older brother went missing but… If you talk to my younger brother like that one more time I won’t be able to stand it. Do you know how well Leo treats people?”

Nod nod.

Seonghyeon nods his head desperately.

At least you deserve some recognition for your keen sense.

“Leo that guy is better at folding children. Children are small and soft. Seonghyun you’re quick-witted so you understood what I said right?”

“Yes yes!”

“Okay I understand. I like how smart kids are these days. When they go to school they always tell their friends about what my brother told them. Oh and they probably know what will happen if they tell their parents about what my brother said. Right?”

Nodding nodding.

Originally fists were scarier than the law. The reason I was being so petty to a third grader was not simply because I was trying to embarrass him.

This is a stinging warning from an adult to not go down a bad path.

…or not.

Anyway Seonghyeon who had been given a sharp lesson by me looked straight at Siyeon and bowed several times.

“I’m sorry for bullying you! I won’t do it again! Please forgive me! See you at school!”

With those words Seonghyeon turned around and started running at full speed.

I looked at the back of the guy who was quickly moving away with satisfaction. Then I smiled faintly and said to Siyeon.

“How was it? Did you do well oppa?”

Then Siyeon raised her thumb and laughed loudly.

“As expected our eldest brother is the best!”

“Then are you forgiving me for my slip of the tongue earlier?”

“of course!”

After that brief incident we started walking to school again with Siyeon.

It was on the way to school that I really felt that my church and I had become famous.

6.

After dropping Siyeon off at school and before returning home we created crowds everywhere we went.

Some people asked for autographs and others asked to take pictures.

I think this is what celebrities’ lives are like.

It was never a bad thing that so many people recognized us.

Because it was an opportunity to spread the name of Limen to as many people as possible.

The round trip to school which should have only taken 20 minutes ended up taking 2 hours and by the time we finally got home Leo and I were already mentally exhausted.

“Earth is such a delightful place. To become so famous in such an instant! It took a long time in Eden. Isn’t that right Your Majesty?”

“…okay.”

“I guess I should have been born on Earth. It suits me.”

Of course this was not applicable to Luna who could be said to be the hottest ‘sister’ in South Korea at the moment.

Luna’s face was bright with life.

They say stars are born that way and that saying is absolutely true.

I think it would be easier for me to tear off a monster’s head than to deal with people.

“Brother. What on earth are you doing out there?”

Inwook who had been in a deep sleep after drinking two glasses of soju last night came out into the living room holding his smartphone in his hand.

Then he quickly handed me his smartphone and the screen was showing an article with some familiar pictures.

-(Photo) Kim Si-woo the ‘Black Pope’ of the Limen Church warmly embracing a young elementary school student.

-(Photo) ‘Sister’ Luna Reventon willingly takes pictures with fans who approach her.

-(Photo) Leo Lumen of ‘Folder’ performing origami in front of people.

Let’s take a closer look. The first photo is the one I took earlier threatening Choi Sung-hyun by whispering into his ear.

The second photo shows Luna forcibly snatching the smartphones of male students and taking pictures of them.

The third photo is of Leo folding paper with colored paper he bought at a stationery store because someone asked him to do an ‘origami’ show.

I don’t know when this was taken but judging by the composition of the photo it’s not an ordinary photo.

These photos will be taken by professional paparazzi.

Although the meaning was seriously distorted.

I checked the photos and then gave the smartphone back to Inwook.

“As you can see.”

“Didn’t Siyeon bring you here? But why did she wear such a flashy outfit?”

“Don’t misunderstand. It was Siyeon who ordered it herself. I was against it at first.”

“Oh really? If Siyeon did that then that would be it.”

This kid would have definitely said something if I had told him I wore it voluntarily.

In the future it might be okay to resolve Inwook’s nagging through Siyeon.

“Even if I hadn’t worn it like that I think it would have been natural to receive attention.”

“why?”

“Hyung think about it. A big white man who is well over 190 cm tall a white woman who makes anyone turn around at least once and an Asian man with a stocky body in between. Do you think this combination is that common? They became famous because of the terrorist incident yesterday so there’s no way people wouldn’t recognize them.”

If you think about it that’s true.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that we are currently the most famous trio in South Korea although we may not have realized it because we don’t go to crowded places much these days.

You could tell just by looking at the paparazzi that only celebrities post our pictures right away.

“But Inwook.”

“uh.”

“I saw earlier that you searched for my name on a portal site and that was the result. Why are you searching for your brother’s name there this morning?”

It was a question I asked just to tease him but Inwook’s answer was unexpected.

“I sometimes search for it because I wonder if it wasn’t a dream that my brother came back.”

If it were normal I would have been embarrassed and asked “What are you talking about?” But Inwook’s expression as he said that was so serious that I was at a loss for words.

This guy sometimes steals my words like this.

You don’t have to make such a serious expression when you say something like that. If you look closely Inwook is also a weirdo sometimes.

However Inwook coughed several times in vain perhaps realizing that his comment was a bit cringey.

And then he asked me as if nothing had happened.

“Brother are you going to work at the shrine today?”

“Yeah. I have to finish it today because I have to go see my grandmother tomorrow.”

I’ve been out and about so much lately that I haven’t been able to take care of the important things.

“We need to strengthen the substance of the church.”

“Inside?”

“There is something like that.”

[There are currently unused <Divine Points> and <Relic Points> remaining.]

[We recommend using it quickly for smooth progress.]

The divine points I had accumulated over time and the relic points I had obtained while capturing the divinity of the other world last time.

I smiled faintly as I closed the message window that appeared before my eyes. Then I looked at Inwook and said.

“You should use cheats when you can. Right?”

Our Pope please stop this
