I Became a Fake Priest the Saintess Is Obsessed With

94 – Reunion with the clown was the worst

“Hey~ It’s been a while, Priest Ivan~ How many months has it been since the last performance? Kihi!”

Pierre made eye contact with me, smiled, and waved his hand.

I did not accept his greeting and immediately tried to stab Pierre with Tina’s sharp blade.

However, he dodged the attack by bizarrely bending his neck back 180 degrees.

“Ki hit! What a warm welcome! “Did you miss me that much?”

“Not at all. “I don’t miss it at all.”

“hahahaha! That’s a shame! Our God really wanted to see you? “The Lord of Chaos really liked the play you performed on stage last time.”

“Oh, is that so? I don’t like both you and that Chaos God… “That’s right!”

Use the temporarily boosted stats to attack Pierre without stopping.

“Ki hit! Aren’t you the type of person who likes conversation, not violence? “You don’t even want to talk to me?”

“Of course… !”

Normally, I would have welcomed someone who came out to talk, but I missed this person last time.

Just thinking about how I was toyed with by Pierre in the circus tent, I think it would be right to attack him without even having to talk to him.

“Ki hit! Then I’ll hang out with you as long as you want to talk!”

Pierre dodges all the blades that hit him.

He looks quite relaxed, as if he is playing with a child.

Ha, how dare you take it easy while dodging my sword?

I took advantage of my increased stats and moved more vigorously, building up my breathing.

I stabbed him with the blade, twisted his arm, and cut him wide horizontally.

I purposely relax my strength and cut, then take advantage of the moment the guy is off guard and kick him.

Use your high agility to prevent Pierre from reading your movements.

Gradually, Pierre’s movements begin to be predicted.

I can see his walking method and habit of dodging.

I swung my sword and struck the spot where he was trying to dodge.

Kang!

“Ki hit! Is this really Ivan from a few months ago? “You’ve become quite strong!”

The sword struck at the shoulder was blocked by Pierre’s shadow.

I tried to cut down the shadow, but I couldn’t cut it down with my own strength.

Damn, if my physical abilities were just a little better, I would have won the fight using magic power and more sophisticated techniques.

Still, is it bad enough to fight this much?

I felt a little disappointed and put Tina down.

“Ha… I can’t win. No matter how you try to find a gap, it’s useless because the shadow blocks it… “

“Ki hit! How did you feel like having a conversation?”

“Okay… Let’s hear the story… “

“Ki hit! “You thought well, comrade!”

Comrade is like this.

I don’t know if it’s from the same group, but I don’t like the word ‘comrade’, so my expression was crumpled.

“Be quiet, Tina. “I put in quite a bit of effort.”

“Yes. And it’s all the weapon’s fault for not being able to cut down the shadow! “If you had been a little sharper, you would have won!”

“Eight! “Be quiet!”

I threw Tina into the subspace crossbag.

Getting angry is not because you are angry.

Pierre in front saw Tina in my hand and waved her hand away, gesturing for me to put it away.

This is probably not a motion to holster a weapon.

Pierre also knows Tina’s identity, and he also knows what she looks like when she becomes a sword.

And it wasn’t just her words, but the way she silently made a gesture, so she realized that it was Tina I was swinging and asked me to get rid of her.

Perhaps you want to have a conversation that no one else should hear.

“Huh… So, what do you want to talk about with me?”

“Ki hit! “I wanted to make a suggestion to Priest Ivan Ira!”

“Suggestion?”

“Yes! “Maybe this is a proposal that will help you achieve your goal once and for all!”

You talk like you know my goal?

“Do you know what my goal is?”

“Of course! Excuse me, I peeked into your memories through Recooks’ shadow! You have your own… In this world… Cast … “It looks like you’re going to do it?”

“…… “

I glared at Pierre without saying anything.

I feel bad.

My inner essence was shown to someone else.

That clown dared to look at the face hidden behind this mask.

What should I do?

I have to kill that guy who saw my bare face.

Dare, dare… My true self…

I touched the mirror in my arms, and barely suppressed the anger boiling up at the cold feel of the mirror.

Let’s calm down.

Nothing good comes from being excited.

First, let’s find out what he wants.

“How would you like to hear the story?”

“…Tell me. “That is the proposal.”

“Thank you!”

Pierre begins his story by shouting exaggeratedly.

“Before we start talking, there is something I want to tell you clearly! “I know your purpose and your past!”

“Yes. After listening to you talk, it seems clear. It’s unpleasant… “

“Ki hit! Calm down! I didn’t want to see such a horrible thing because I wanted to see it too!”

It’s unpleasant, la…

I have nothing more to say. Who would want to see fragments of my terrible memories?

“So, knowing your purpose, this is what I propose! Ivan Ira, wouldn’t you like to join the Demon Church?”

“……?”

“Please don’t look at me like you look at someone who is talking nonsense! “Don’t you know that the Demon God Cult’s base of activity is the place you’ve always wanted to go?”

The Demon God Cult, a terrorist-like organization in this world and a crazy group that serves the demon god who is sleeping with evil intentions.

If you think about it, there are a total of 6 religions in the world, divided into 6 major religions.

Heaven God, Earth Mother Goddess, Fire God, Sea God, Chaos God… And demon religion.

However, unlike other religions that seek to preserve and move forward in this world, the Demon God Religion is a madman who advocates destruction and chaos, advocating a terrible eschatology.

It was an empire that accepted all religions, but it could not accept madmen.

The Demonic Cult spreads its activities all over the place, but its base is almost certainly guessed.

Demon spirit.

The land where I must go to achieve my long-standing goal.

“…I have to go to the deepest part of the Demon Territory. “To the place where the devil you are also afraid of is.”

“I can send you there.”

“Ha, only a hero can go before the Demon King. “How can I, who is only a mid-level priest, go before him?”

“If only a hero can go before the devil, then you become a hero! And I know how to make a warrior!”

Become a warrior?

Wow, he’s really good at telling jokes even though he’s a clown.

The World Tree selects the most noble people in the world and grants them power.

And I am the one who is furthest from integrity and purity.

The goddess would probably laugh at the thought of someone like me becoming a hero.

“The jokes are funny too. I become a hero… Her.”

It was just so funny that I burst out laughing.

“Don’t treat it like a joke. “I’m pretty serious.”

Pierre’s eyes changed.

The expression that had been exaggeratedly smiling until now became serious.

“So you’re saying I can become a hero?”

I also stopped laughing and spoke seriously.

“Of course. Rather, you are well qualified. “Considering what you have achieved in a short period of time, it is surprising that the World Tree did not select you as a hero.”

“……”

“When you planned to achieve your goal, you wanted to become a high priest and a member of the warrior party rather than becoming a warrior.”

“……”

“The reason you gave up on becoming a hero is probably related to your past life. Yes?”

“…Well, that’s right.”

The sins I committed in my past life were so great that it almost prevented me from becoming a warrior.

Becoming a high-ranking priest who can participate in the warrior party and standing before the Demon King was the reason I endured pain and lived in this world.

“However, in this state, no hero will appear. “The war between the demons and the humans lasted for several years, and you can tell just by looking at the World Tree that no hero was chosen.”

It is definitely a heterogeneous situation.

The war has been going on for several years, but for some reason the World Tree remains silent and does not select a warrior.

When you think about the previous war with demons, it feels very foreign.

“You will become a warrior, Ivan Ira! If you cut down the World Tree and take on its power, you can become a hero!”

Cutting down the world tree… Become a warrior… ?

“Why are you asking me to cut down the World Tree? Are you saying that if I cut down it, I will become a hero?”

“That’s right! That’s the way to create heroes by force! Robbing the essence of the World Tree that created heroes for thousands of years, and seizing that power!”

I glared at Pierre, who was talking nonsense.

His face still has a wry smile on his face.
