I Became a Fake Priest the Saintess Is Obsessed With

84 – What is reflected in the broken glass

Lesia, who had lost Riley right before her eyes, gritted her teeth and led us away from the scene.

After being rescued, I was almost taken to the public health center inside the cathedral, but I asked for understanding and went to see Scherer with support from Saint Amelia.

“I’m sorry, Priest Ivan. “My mistake caused you harm.”

As we left the saintess outside and entered her meeting room, Shuler lowered his head.

“It was difficult in many ways. I never thought that the assistant who was helping the Great Sage was a member of the Demon God Church… “

I accepted his apology in moderation and sat across from Scherer, the seat I always sat in in the meeting room.

“Anyway, now I want to hear the story about Aira that I’ve been putting off. “If you tell me about Ira, at least I won’t hold you responsible for this incident.”

“…I understand. “I’ll answer any questions you have about Ira.”

What should I ask Scherer?

I looked at the ceiling and thought for a moment.

How did you become a noble family? Is the lineage really connected to the goddess? Why can’t people recognize Ira about her family name?

No, these are not the most curious questions on my mind right now. Even if I were to ask, I would ultimately doubt that the Great Sage was lying.

It was dismissed as something Riley said just to provoke her. Perhaps this one question is the ultimate way to access all truth.

“Now that Mother Earth, Niv Aira, has passed away. “What on earth are we serving?”

I asked Scherer what I had in mind.

“That…” How do you know… ?”

Surer opened his eyes wide and blinked as if he was surprised.

“The person called Red Narcissus from the Demonic Cult who kidnapped me told me this.”

Is this a red daffodil? ? I’m confused because it’s a position I’ve never heard of. Still, Scherer seemed to have heard me and roughly understood what I said.

“Yes, I see… Surely she would know if she had lived since ancient times… “

Looking at his reaction, it seems that at least the death of the Earth Mother that Riley said was true.

Then what has our Earth Mother Church been serving so far?

Are you praying to a god who has already died? Or was he praying to the ‘replacement’ Riley spoke of?

“Tell me quickly. “What on earth were we serving?”

I was so curious about the answer, so I helped Scherer.

“You guys… I asked what the believers of the Earth Mother Church serve… ?”

“Yes, please speak properly instead of talking back.”

Schler swallowed his voice.

There is still plenty of time.

I slowly waited for him to answer.

He thinks about saying something, but then slowly opens his mouth.

“The Earth Mother Church clearly serves ‘Niv Aira’… “

“What…? “You said it yourself that Neve Aira is dead, right?”

“I guess the explanation wasn’t enough. “If you want to understand this story, you have to tell it from the beginning…”

He lowered his eyes.

“Do you know what Niv Aira’s final fate was like?”

“I don’t know. “Anything.”

“I guess so. “I hid it so thoroughly, there’s no way you would know.”

“What are you hiding?”

“We hid Neve Aira’s death and its cause.”

Schler took a breath.

“Niv Aira, the Earth Mother sacrificed herself for the world. “We forced her to make her sacrifice to purify the tainted mana that spread across her world with her divinity.”

“We prayed to her even after her death to prevent her chaos, but her lost divinity flowed to the Aira family, who inherited her godly lineage.”

Sleep… what?

Sacrifice the god to purify the contaminated mana.

Divinity flows into Aira?

“Then what happened to Ira later?”

“The excessive infusion of divinity had a reaction and placed a curse on others, and my body gradually weakened and I faced death. So the family declined, and those who survived dispersed to avoid the attention of the world…”

I was so shocked that I slowly backed away and leaned against the wall.

“Did you do something to make people not recognize Ira’s last name?”

“…That’s right. “I tried to erase the Ira family from the world using mystical powers.”

She covered her hot face with her hands.

Ah… Now, a clue to the truth has been discovered.

All the information I have gathered so far and the new information I have learned are leading me to the truth.

Okay… That’s how it happened.

I stopped backing away and grabbed Schler by the collar.

“Why are you telling me that? “Tell me, of Ira’s blood, why you say that!”

“I just wanted to confess…” Is this the repentance of a sinner who hid the truth? “

“Sinner… ?”

Shurer, who had been avoiding my eyes the whole time, finally made eye contact with me.

“Yes, sinner…” ! With none other than our own hands! We killed Neve and kept it secret! You used Ira’s bloodline to cover up the whole truth! So we are sinners… A sinner who killed God!”

Tears of sadness were flowing from his eyes.

When I saw his excited look, I realized I couldn’t have a proper conversation anymore.

When I realized that, I hurriedly tried to leave.

However, my body stumbles and it is difficult to move properly.

It is not because of accumulated fatigue over several days.

My body and soul are shaking violently as I discover the disgusting truth of this world and the dirty minds of people.

A feeling of disgust boils up inside that I cannot bear to let out.

I barely got out the door, leaning against the wall.

“Gwae, are you okay, priest…” ?”

When I came out, the saint who was standing in front of the door helped me.

When I saw her face, which looked exactly like Eve, I fell into an inexplicable emotion because the images of Eve and the saint overlapped.

Eve, how were you able to embrace everything in this world?

I just can’t bear these disgusting ‘somethings’.

But… The world you wanted… For that I can do it…

I can save all ‘something’ and purify myself by burning my flesh…

“You look bad, are you okay…” ? After all, going to the public health center… “

“It’s okay. I’m just a little tired. “Can you take me to the monastery, saint?”

“Oh, yes…” “

I escaped from her magic tower with her support.

The sky became dark and the stars shining beautifully in the night sky were clearly visible.

I pointed out each star and engraved its meaning.

Purity, will, hope, sadness, despair.

Everything… It’s all just what you taught me.

I will definitely carry out your will…

I will finish everything and come to your side…

“I don’t think so.”

The saint who had been supporting me suddenly hugged me.

Her saintess looked up at her in surprise at her unexpected behavior.

“Why are you acting like this all of a sudden, saintess?”

“But the priest doesn’t seem to be okay at all… She shed tears like that… “

Tears… ?

After hearing the saint’s words, I touched the area around my eyes.

A lot of water filled my eyes and my hands became damp.

So I… Were you shedding tears?

“What kind of strength do you have?” ? It’s okay, so just say it. It’s easier to share sadness than to keep it to yourself… “

I felt the warmth of a ‘human’ for the first time in her arms, and now I felt the warmth of a ‘human’ again.

“No… It’s really, really no big deal so it’s okay… “

But I couldn’t understand humans, so I lied.

I just felt that warmth and wiped away my tears.

***

A few days after the kidnapping of the lieutenant priest that caused uproar came to an end.

I went to the Magic Tower again and stood in front of Shuler.

“Surprisingly… I never thought I would come back again so soon… “

“I have something I would like to ask the Great Sage. And it was too emotional to talk to each other at that time.”

“I see… Well, it was like that… “

Schler took a sip of tea.

It is said to be a tea that promotes mental and physical stability and urination function…

Ah, a thought occurred to me for a moment. That’s not important now.

“So, what would you like to ask for?”

“Um… “It’s simple yet difficult, so I don’t know if the wise man will be able to listen to it.”

“…Let me tell you first. “I will help you as much as I can.”

They are quite cooperative. Looking at my face, does he feel guilty?

I walked a little bit and stood in front of the window.

Under the tall magic tower, something was crawling on the ground.

“Please help revive the Aira family and revitalize its function as an aristocratic family.”

Click!

I turned around when I heard the sound of something breaking.

It seems that Scherer, who was listening to my story, missed the teacup and broke it.

“Why…?” ? “Why are you trying to revive the Aira family again?”

“I just have a personal goal. Or is it difficult to revive the Ira family that you brought to ruin, Mr. Sinner?”

I glared into Schler’s eyes.

His eyes are shaking like a boat hit by waves.

“If Aira has to sacrifice herself for the world, I will break that bondage. “I will stop repeating your sins, so help me, Gael Sophia Scherer.”

If sacrificing something to maintain the world is their sin and bondage, I will cut them off with my own two hands.

For her, for her and her promised future, for the world I want.

Definitely.

Schler eventually agreed to my request.

Words alone were not trustworthy, so when I was writing the contract, light came in from the window and my face was reflected in the glass shards of the broken teacup.

Yes, my appearance.

An ugly being wearing the shell of Ivan Ira….

The image of ‘something’ is being reflected.
