Raising the Saint of the Evil God in the Novel

16 – Chapter 16

“Holy Lady! Where have you been!”

“hehehe, sorry.”

If it was like usual, I would have apologized sincerely, but now I don’t get discouraged by a small scolding.

From noble mtl dot com

The nun who scolded me for looking different than usual seems surprised.

“Uh, uh uh?”

“Then I will go!”

She left her behind her and started running once again.

I ran and arrived in front of the bishop’s room.

-Trick, knock

I knock on the door with a cheerful rhythm that suits my cheerful heart, and I hear a voice from inside.

“Come in.”

When I open the door and enter, I see the bishop sitting in the same position as always.

“Where have you been? I have been looking for a long time.”

“hahahaha… I’m sorry. Still, I bring you great news!”

“Whoa… Okay, tell me.”

I could have been scolded again, but is it true that I can’t spit on her smiling face?

We moved on to a somewhat toxic atmosphere.

“I finally heard what he said!”

As I spoke with a big smile on my face, the bishop jumped up from his chair as if surprised.

“What, what? Where and when?”

“That… It’s a long story…”

.

.

.

So I told the story of my adventure to the bishop.

From eavesdropping on the stories of the paladins, fighting the saint of evil spirits, and even hearing his voice in the process.

The bishop was silent for a long time after my story was over, and finally opened his mouth.

However, the response was very different from what I expected and expected.

“Why, why didn’t you tell the temple!”

An inquiry, not a celebration.

“Do you know what He gave up to save your shallow life!!”

I don’t know. I don’t even know what that means in the first place.

“You made a promise to the evil spirit not to touch the saintess of the evil spirit!”

“For the price of your life!”

“That, what is that…”

“Before you came, another saint came to me and said. She says that He told her not to touch the saint of evil spirits.”

Ah. No way.

“Do you really think you got out on your own?”

“No, it’s because he made a pact with the evil spirit to save that little life of yours!”

“There are paladins…”

The bishop’s scolding continued, but it did not reach my ears.

His hair was dyed white.

The Heavenly God and the Evil God are enemies of each other.

That’s why we, too, are siding with the eclipse church led by the evil spirits.

But he promised that the heavenly god would not harm the saintess of the evil spirit.

For the sake of my life.

Is it joy, despair, or shame that dyes your hair?

.

.

.

“…Hello.”

“Oh, yes hello…”

It’s always been this way since then.

When everyone runs into me, they reluctantly say hello and then quickly disappear without receiving my greeting.

In the past, if there were people who spoke to them out of pity, now they are treated almost like heretics.

At least there was something he said, so everyone was patient.

I moved my legs while touching the tip of my nose that was aching for no reason.

And one more thing has changed since that day.

The change started with the words he spoke to me once again.

“My child, your strength is weak and you cannot contain my words, so train yourself.”

At first I didn’t understand what that meant.

But when he vomited blood shortly after hearing that, he understood the story.

I really don’t have enough strength.

And after I was healed by the sunlight that wrapped around my body, I knew exactly what it meant.

If he has to heal like this every time he talks to you, that’s favoritism.

That’s why you should avoid it.

But

If strength is not enough, isn’t it enough to be strong?

Even if everyone denies me, wouldn’t it matter if the One on High affirms me?

So I decided.

I would dedicate my life to be recognized and forgiven by him once again.

What is the new change?

“…Did you come today?”

“Yes…”

“Tsk. Please clean up after use.”

-Bang

I purposely close the door with a loud noise and leave the administrator behind and head to the place where the knights were training.

Now that training is over and no one is using it, it became the best place for me.

“Today… let’s do five laps.”

As usual, I would have taken a break right after the prayer was over, but now that I have decided to dedicate my life to him, I have no time to rest.

After praying to him, you accumulate knowledge.

After gaining knowledge like that, I train my body.

To get back what He gave up for me.

And I will bear all the damage that comes from that broken pact.

That would be the best way to apologize to the person who saved my life.

“Haaam…”

“Good night.”

“Ea-san too… Good night…”

A girl fell asleep before finishing her words.

As soon as I put the blanket back down once again and turned around, black energy began to gather in the air.

And there, a piece of paper appeared.

When I carefully lift up the paper and look at it, the written letters catch my eye.

—–

Let Illyana have the power to defend herself without power.

—–

A single line sentence.

Make the lady able to defend herself without powers.

I don’t know what the reason is, but it seems that he doesn’t want the young lady to rely on power.

Then…

.

.

.

“My lady, it is time to get up.”

“Ugh…”

As usual, I would have waited for the lady to wake up, but I don’t have time for that today.

“My lady, you have to run at the training ground this morning.”

“Yeah…”

As we forced the girl in a drowsy state to stand up and put her clothes on, the girl who came to her senses asked back.

“Umm… Ea-san?”

“Yes.”

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to the training ground.”

As expected, he looked at me with a puzzled face as if he hadn’t heard what I said right before he woke up.

“Is this a training ground?”

“Yes. As I said earlier, starting today, you have to canter at the training ground as soon as you wake up.”

“You mean every day?”

“Yes.”

After hearing my confirmation, the young lady asked as if it were nonsense.

“Why?”

“…Lady, regular life and exercise are important. Do you remember the time you woke up after the lady came to the mansion?”

“Oh, that is…”

The lady couldn’t refute my words and started following me.

I could have said that he commanded it here, but he must have had a purpose in telling me in a note instead of telling the lady.

After walking for a long time and arriving at the training ground, I saw a person running alone in it.

Sturdy appearance and brown hair. On top of that, even the characteristic armor that covers the whole body.

“Sir Drippin.”

“Oh, is it Ea! And next to it… A lady.”

“Yes.”

“What is going on here?”

The face that used to smile brightly at me froze as soon as I saw the lady next to me.

“The lady said she would run a canter every morning from today, so I brought her.”

“Hmm… Ok. I get it. Then I will go.”

“Yes.”

Sir Drippin left the training ground after saying that.

But perhaps because I was in a hurry, I left my sword in the training ground.

“My lady, please go around this place three times.”

“Three, three wheels?”

The girl who looked at me with an expression as if the world had collapsed felt a bit sorry for her and tried to withdraw.

“Yes, three wheels.”

From noble mtl dot com

“That, that…”

The young lady who was looking at me like that probably noticed that I wasn’t going to change my words, and eventually started to trudge toward the starting point.

.

.

.

How long had it been since the young lady started running like that, I started to feel her gaze through the slightly open door.

It must be Lord Drippin.

I came to find the sword, but it must be a situation where I can’t come in easily because of the lady.

At that time, the lady began to approach me, breathing heavily.

“Eh, Mr. Ea… I’m done…”

“Well then, let’s do push-ups.”

From now on, it’s time to attack that hard Lord Drippin.

“This is what you mean?”

“Yes. That attitude.”

“Oh! Much easier than before!”

I can feel an angry gaze through the crack in the door.

I think we need to do a little more.

“Okay then, planks next.”

“Flank?”

“Yes. Now, follow me and take this pose…”

At that time, a loud shout came from the door.

“Gmmaaan!!!!”

The startled young lady opened her eyes wide and looked at Lord Drippin, who had suddenly appeared.

“That’s not it!!! Stretch your back! The width of the elbow is equal to the width of the shoulder! The soles of your feet are perpendicular to the ground!”

He corrects the posture of the young lady with her hands filled with anger.

A girl who is surprised by him but does as she is told.

“Come on! Fifteen seconds in that position!”

“15! 14! 13!…”

“2! One! Half of one! Half of half of 1! Half of half of half of 1!”

“Ahhhhh…”

“Half of half of half of 1!”

“Heo-eok…”

– Plop

A girl who couldn’t stand it and collapsed in the end.

“W-Where is that! Half of one!”

“Looks like you’re still full of energy! Another 15 seconds!”

“No, no!”

“Release!!!”
