77 – Is he really dead (4)

“how… . I have to.”

Ardel sighed heavily when he saw the coffin where the funeral process was going very well.

As the resurrection was delayed by a week, various problems arose.

First of all, the heroization of Argal.

As the mayor proclaimed, he began to make Argal into a hero who died sacrificing himself for the city.

He requested the Hero Medal from the kingdom, and gradually Argal’s name and family spread throughout the city.

Right now, even Ardel was promised to officially join the Golden Knights just because he was a hero’s family.

He wasn’t too happy about joining the Golden Knights, which was his dream.

Bigger problems abound.

I do not doubt that Argal is truly dead.

I think the resurrection was delayed for some reason.

Ardel briefly leaves the funeral scene.

I went around the front door of the church and headed for the quiet secret room.

The same coffin as before was placed in the secret room, and other people were gathered.

It was a coffin containing real Argal.

Feeling the gloomy atmosphere that enveloped the entire secret room, Ardel cautiously moved.

Since they couldn’t be resurrected for a long time of a week, the other girls gradually began to disbelieve.

I thought Argal might have died.

Or the concern that it might be revived after a long period of years.

It was gradually seeping into my mind.

“If I die, I will die with you. If I die, I will die with you… .”

Starting with Asher who said he would die biting his nails and follow Argal.

“They say that if you sacrifice your soul to the devil, you can bring people back to life. Is this okay?”

Fran, looking at the forbidden book with a smile on her face, said that she would revive Argal in a way that should never be done.

“Argal… . You were such a nice guy… . It’s because you didn’t save your life.”

Even Raeli, who has already left Argal and collapsed with empty eyes.

Looking at this total impasse, Ardel was quietly squatting in a corner.

If there was no news for a whole week after promising that he would be resurrected, it was his fault.

If I went out for nothing, I could have been eaten by those ghostly girls.

Raeli, who had been bedridden, stood up and ran toward the coffin.

Everyone was surprised by her sudden action.

“I won’t stay still!”

“Now, wait a minute. What are you going to do?!”

“I need to see your face! I left it alone that it would come back to life, but if I knew it would happen like this, I should have seen your face a long time ago!”

A human body is bound to rot.

So at least you have to look at his face when he is fine and see his whole face at least for the last time.

That’s how it should be, because I was able to let go and let go of a handful of regrets.

When the lid of the coffin was opened, Argal’s body was revealed.

Obviously he’s clearly dead.

Pale skin and lifeless body.

But there was something strange.

“…isn’t it rotten at all?”

Argal’s corpse remained intact.

Of course, there is a way to maintain the corpse because of the power of divine power, but at least a priest from the side must stick to it.

So Argal’s corpse is normal only when it decomposes.

However, it was not rotted in the slightest, and it was in pristine condition, as if it had just died.

This is the basis for adding credibility to the fact that he is immortal.

“Really, really?”

When Fran looked at Argal in amazement, he was indeed fine.

Of course, it is said that it is a corpse that is fine for being dead.

Looking at it, Fran also gained hope, but there were still many things to worry about.

Raeli looked at Argal, who was still not awake, and spoke gloomily.

“It’s true that it comes back to life, but what if it takes a year or two?”

“Could you? It can’t be.”

Frank vehemently denied it.

It’s better than dying, but that’s bad news.

In fact, it is said that we will have to say goodbye for a few years, but how can we wait?

As the conversation went on, Asher poked his head into the coffin and looked at Argal.

Asher looked at the calmly lying Argal for a while and tilted his head.

“…does it really need to be placed in a coffin?”

“…if the dead aren’t in a coffin, where should they go?”

“It will come back to life anyway, so it doesn’t matter if you leave it in bed.”

Frank shook his head at that comment.

No matter how resurrected it is, there is no choice but to feel rejected if you dare to put a dead person on the bed.

“That doesn’t seem like a good way.”

“…yes? I can’t help it.”

Asher nodded and entered the coffin.

While everyone was shocked, Asher put Argal next to him and began to sleep next to him.

Naturally, Raeli pulls her out.

– Kwak.

“It hurts!”

“You asked me to put you in bed, did you mean to sleep with me?!”

“…Then, if you can’t put it on the bed, you should sleep in the coffin. What should I do?”

“Don’t you know it’s ridiculous to think that we slept together in the first place?!”

“…you can sleep next to a dead person.”

Asher brought up the experience of sleeping with a corpse next to him based on his gloomy past, but it was an unacceptable action.

Raeli whispered to Fran.

“I think something big will happen, so wouldn’t it be right to isolate them separately?”

Just like when I had the flu, I came up with an opinion to isolate Asher.

However, this time the situation was different.

At that time, Asher was lethargic because of the flu, but now he has the best condition.

“…I agree, can we stop Asher?”

“Can’t you stop it?”

Raeli shook her head.

Anyway, Asher was the strongest in this position.

When Asher reluctantly offered to sleep next to Argal, the girls were powerless to stop it.

If you create a barrier, it will break through, and Raeli is not yet strong enough to defeat her.

I don’t know what would happen if I risked my life to fight, but that wasn’t the case.

It was Ardel who was able to stop Asher.

Ardel looked into Asher’s dark eyes, probably thinking that he couldn’t stay still this time.

“Stop it, and my sister won’t like it very much.”

“…I don’t think you’ll mind.”

“That… . Is it run?”

Even when Ardel thought about it, his younger brother did not have the sensibility of a normal person.

After being resurrected, even if Asher was sleeping next to him, he would have said that. He fell asleep next to the dead body.

Would you say that it gives you goosebumps?

…Anyway, it’s a couple that fits well in a strange place.

Still, this had to be stopped.

What does it mean to sleep next to a dead person anyway?

When Ardel was stopped, Asher gave up his will.

That said, it was Asher’s action that wanted Argal to come back to that extent, rather than actually sleeping next to him.

If he really wanted to fall asleep, he would have sneaked in and put the lid on the coffin.

Because no one can stop you like this.

He crouched next to the coffin and waited blankly.

Until Argal is resurrected.

Ardel had no choice but to sigh once more.

What if the resurrection is delayed here?

…just thinking about it was terrifying.

“Bescia.”

The bishop called the girl he cherished the most and was no different from his daughter.

She knelt down and was lost in her thoughts.

To Bessia, the bishop went on to speak.

“Won’t you break that will?”

The bishop had a deep conversation with Besiah.

Besiah had been thinking that Argal would die, and had various misunderstandings and misunderstandings.

In the meantime, Bessia consumed her emotions to a great extent, and Argal was unable to proceed as she wished.

In the process, Argal was resentful.

If they had made it clear that they were immortals, this wouldn’t have happened.

But he kept talking.

He brought out the word that he would not die, but after hearing that, Bessia only accumulated misunderstandings, and did not really think that he would not die.

So, is this her own fault?

After much thought, Bethia made a decision.

“I want to become a saint.”

She decided to tread firmly in one direction.

Looking back, a strange form continued, such as not being able to properly help him with his work, and interfering and dissuading her by putting her feelings first.

Especially this time, Argal was trying to help her.

Argal continued to help her endlessly and repeatedly, risking her life.

If so, I will repay you.

She let go of the obsession that had stirred her emotions, and made her resolve to help as a colleague.

“Even this is my own decision, but I think this is the right one.”

“If that is your will.”

The Bishop sighed.

Becoming a saint is not an easy road. I had to go on a difficult journey to a faraway place.

Not a good way either.

Destined to belong to the warrior party and have to kill the demon king.

But if only I could become a saint, if I could become a saint who is a symbol of hope along with the hero.

In effect, the church is in the hands of the bishop and Besiah.

I don’t know what the current saintess candidate will be, but there is a high possibility that it will become a stumbling block.

At this time, when the cardinal who is eating away at the inside of the church is trying to get rid of it, the breath of the only saintess candidate is too strong.

For example, when the pope maintains a neutral position, the bishop must persuade the candidate for the saint based on the evidence he has gathered.

It was said that there was a high chance that the saintess would listen to her persuasion, but it wasn’t a good way.

It is good that the bishop directly controls and moves the church, but the fact that there is a decision maker above him is not pleasant.

However, the moment Bessia becomes a saint woman candidate, the only saint woman candidate’s influence is considerably reduced.

And Bessia had enough qualifications to become a saint.

“If you walk that road, there is a good way.”

“What is it?”

“A benefactor who is now dead.”

The bishop knew when he would be revived.

It’s just that you don’t have to mention that you’re alive at that point, and indirectly instructing you to pour out your holy power at a specific timing shouldn’t be a big problem.

If I poured my holy power at the perfect timing, Argal would wake up.

Like a miracle, Bessia will save him.

“You will bring it back.”

Bessia’s eyes widened.

If you show a miracle in front of everyone.

Even if she didn’t want to, she had to become a saint.

Having become a saint like that, I will help him.

I will fully grant him the enormous power and power I hold as a saint.

That was Bethia’s decision.

**

The bishop did not forget to discuss with Reinhardt.

It can’t be said that Argal was brought back to life by a random decision.

“Can you save someone?”

“That’s right. Bessia already has the skills close to a saint, so she can revive Argal only once.”

“…Isn’t it a waste to bring back the Undead?”

“Still, considering the possibility of truly dying and the possibility of dying and not coming back to life for a long time, it is worth it.”

The bishop did not reveal the true facts.

You can inform them indirectly, but if you openly say, ‘If Bessia pours her holy power at the timing of Argal’s revival, her ability will not be wasted’, then you will be penalized by that absolute existence.

At this, Reinhardt nodded.

“It’s a good way.”

“Is that so?”

In Reinhardt’s opinion, it was the most ideal method.

Argal’s sacrifice did not disappear.

It seemed that he still risked his life to save the city.

And then, Argal was revived.

A miraculous story in which a certain priest worked a miracle and brought the hero back to life.

Even with that alone, as everyone understands, Argal becomes a living hero.

“You can take both honor and gain.”

At this rate, even if Argal was revived, he had to change his status unconditionally.

He had already become a hero, and if he was revived, there was a high possibility that all sorts of doubts and misunderstandings would arise.

Especially since it’s not good for the Undead to be known.

When Reinhardt agreed to the bishop’s method, the matter proceeded swiftly.

Especially liked the warrior.

“Can you save it?”

“That’s right, the transcendentalist assured me, so you can believe it.”

“I am very, very fortunate.”

No matter how wasteful the power to resurrect people was, it was far better than worrying about whether or not they really died.

At least, the warrior’s response was appropriate.

The reaction of the other girls who heard this news was so explosive, it was at the level of overturning the group.
