I Became a Fake Priest the Saintess Is Obsessed With

57 – An Unexpected Companion

Thanks to Tina, the progress of the trip went faster than expected.

Tina nominated me, Saint Amelia, and Sir Brielle as the members to go on her trip, and they all agreed to the trip.

Sister Selena easily allowed us to travel because she thought we needed a break from all our hard work.

Because of the war, some people left the cathedral and there was a shortage of workers. If we go on a trip, there will be a shortage of workers.

The problem was solved luckily.

This is because the war came to a temporary truce and the clergy who were at the front returned to the cathedral.

The priests who returned were several times better healers than me, so I didn’t have to worry about staffing issues.

A few days have passed and now.

We are taking a horse-powered train and heading to Hwasan, where the hot springs are located.

Unlike previous trains, the train to Volcano has no passenger compartment, and many people sit on chairs installed in the train compartment and wait until it arrives at its destination.

I heard from the staff that the reason this method was adopted was to keep the price low and accommodate as many people as possible.

While the previous train was for sightseeing, this train is for quick travel to other areas, so it accommodates as many people as possible in a small space.

Thanks to the crowds, it feels like a train trip.

“I’m looking forward to it… I’ve never been on a trip before…”

The saint who was sitting next to her spoke to her.

She was expressing her anticipation with her whole body, such as wriggling her fingers or stroking her hair, as if she was really looking forward to this trip.

Now that I think about it, the saint said that before she became a saint, she lived in a slum…

It looks like the work of a saint is very difficult.

I don’t know the details, but if I were to guess, she would have never been in a situation to travel.

“It will be a good trip. Think of it as a break from everyday life.”

“Yes… I’m sure it will be…”

Yes, isn’t traveling meant to be enjoyed?

The words ‘get away from everyday life’ are words he said to the saint and at the same time he said them to himself.

When subduing the clown, she looked into the past with the power of shadows and her mind was still confused even now.

However, if you only think about such serious things while traveling, you won’t be able to enjoy the trip.

For now, let’s put aside miscellaneous thoughts and enjoy the trip.

Thinking like that, I took out a magazine from the subspace backpack I always brought with me.

I was bored because the travel time was long and there was nothing to do on the train.

As I flip through the magazine, various miscellaneous stories from around the world are written, arousing my interest.

‘Maybe I should have bought a new novel?’

I like magazines, but I like most printed materials with writing.

I subscribe to a famous newspaper and read the newspaper every day, and I stop by a bookstore and buy various books to read.

Among them, I especially like novels, and I think I spend half of the money I get from working on novels only.

There is a place called a library in the capital that lends books for free, but I am reluctant because I have bad memories of libraries in my past life.

For this foolish reason, I ended up broke because I ended up paying for books I didn’t need to read.

It was a time to leisurely read a book while thinking about trivial things.

“Hands up! Or I’ll turn this train into a sea of fire!”

A gunman holding a firebomb came out from the passageway leading to another compartment.

The passengers on the train were completely distraught and screaming.

“Raise your hands, black hair!”

The passengers raised their hands in fear as the man continued to threaten them.

Does that man have some kind of grudge against the train?

At this point, isn’t it some fate that prevents me from being able to relax?

I’m not a co-ex, so why does something happen every time I go somewhere?

As I took a deep breath at the sad fate, I saw Lord Brielle in front.

He lowered his posture and glared at the assailant.

It seems that the gunman is trying to subdue him the moment he relaxes.

After understanding Brielle’s intentions, I decided to attract the attention of the assailant in order to help him.

“Hey… May I ask why you’re doing that?”

“What are you doing? Shut up and keep your hands up!”

As the man shouted, the saint next to him looked at me with determined eyes.

I stared at the gunman, motioning him not to worry.

“Don’t be like that, just talk a little bit.”

“Why should I tell you my situation?”

“Aren’t you doing this because you want something? You never know. I might be the person who can give you what you want.”

The man looked at me with an expression that said he had seen a strange guy.

“Hmm, okay. I’ll pretend to be deceived and tell you my story.”

“Wow, thank you.”

The man starts talking drunkenly.

“I started a business pulling horse-drawn carriages and moving people around. The income was quite good, and the business gradually prospered. That’s right, until the horse-powered train came along…!”

The man’s eyes burn with anger.

“mana trains became commercialized, people used trains that could move to desired areas faster than horse-drawn carriages, the horse-drawn carriage business went bankrupt, and I ended up sitting on the street.”

The man who said that tightly held the Molotov cocktail in his hand.

“I resented this train so much! I resented this train that made me a beggar!”

“The story is unfortunate. So have you tried to restart your business or get another job?”

“Hah, how hard it is for someone broke to start over in the Empire. I wasn’t even thinking about that! I was just thinking about burning this train down!”

“Then you are worse than trash lying on the side of the road. All you have to do is destroy yourself, but you are trying to attract others…”

“What…?! You bastard!”

The excited man looked like he was going to light the Molotov cocktail at any moment.

I didn’t provoke you for nothing.

Take advantage of the man’s excitement, Sir Brielle quickly approached.

Sir Brielle held onto the man’s wrist with his entire body and subdued him in an instant.

“Let go of this!!!”

“If you put down what you’re holding, I’ll release it. In fact, even if you don’t put it down, I’ll force you to put it down.”

“Ha! Do you think I prepared this poorly?”

As the gunman shook his body, bottles containing various medicines were visible through the vest he was wearing.

Most diseases contain extreme poisons that can kill people if they spread through the air.

I, who has a little knowledge of pharmaceuticals, quickly figured out the types of them.

Just when I thought I had to stop it right away, a blue-haired woman wearing a white nun’s uniform appeared.

The woman struck the gunman’s stomach with the handle of the sword she was holding.

The man, unable to resist the sudden collision, falls down with a jolt.

“Lesia…”

The woman’s identity is Lesia.

Lesia took in her breath and sheathed the sword I had gifted her.

“It’s hard to control my strength…” She muttered and looked at me.

“It’s been a while, priest. Have you been at peace?”

“We met a few days ago?”

“I see. Still, it feels like a long time has passed to me, so it’s been a long time.”

No matter how much time is relative, isn’t it too slow?

“Ah… Yes. But, Saint Lesia, why did you get on the train?”

“That’s…”

“I’m taking a vacation!”

After Lesia was interrupted, a green-haired girl, Dorothy, continued behind her.

When Sir Brielle, who was tying up the assailant, saw Dorothy, she let go of the assailant and waved her hand, saying she was glad to see her.

“Priest Dorothy. You were truly excellent in the last struggle.”

“Lord Brielle was also great. Oh, that’s not it. Anyway, the reason I took the train was to go on a trip to relieve the fatigue of work!”

Dorothy showed off the lively energy typical of a tomboy.

Well, the Celestial Church must have been busy here and there.

This clown incident is a serious matter of betrayal by one of the seven major religions.

The Celestial Church, which was in charge of all religious issues occurring in the empire, would have been busy cleaning up the mess or hiding information.

“What is the destination of the trip?”

“It’s a volcano. It’s a hot spring to relieve fatigue!”

“The travel destinations overlap…?”

“Saint Amelia, are you going to the volcano as well? Have you all been to the volcano?”

Our group shook their heads in response to Dorothy’s question.

I also have only a small amount of knowledge from magazines, but I shook my head because I have never been there.

“Great! I’ve been to the volcano a few times! How about we do this together? I’ll give you directions!”

There is no reason for us to refuse.

Although Tina said she would be a guide, she is not trustworthy because she is Tina.

There is no one in the group who would feel uncomfortable with Dorothy and Lesia.

The group nodded to Dorothy’s opinion.

But, is Dorothy good at giving directions? ?

“Okay! Then, let’s take care of the saint and show off our skills as a skilled guide!”

Well, thanks to those words, my trustworthiness has skyrocketed.

[Ah, our train is now arriving at the entrance to the volcano. Passengers who want to get off, please use the exit on the right.]

The crew expressed their gratitude and finished cleaning up after the assailant.

An inorganic voice rings out from the speakers on the train and the door opens.

When we arrived at our destination, the group got up from their seats and got off the train.

Before I got off, I secretly put the vials of medication from the gunman’s vest into my bag.
