66 – trick

On that day, the system was particularly noisy.

Passers-by who come and go busily from early morning decorate the town with dazzling flowers and lights.

The children seemed to be busy playing hero games, gathering in groups of threes and threes, as if they had no intention of helping their parents.

The eyes looking at the childish appearance of such children with disdain were remarkable enough to be counted on one finger even when searching the streets of the village crowded with crowds.

No, on the contrary, in the expressions of the passers-by, who were smiling happily, I even felt a genuine composure that was quite different from usual.

The overwhelming anticipation of having the long-awaited slope right in front of you was breathing lively energy into the desolate streets.

A truly condescending slant that would excite those who live in this system.

The day of the blessing ceremony.

The lofty day when the saintess bestows divine protection on the hero has arrived until tomorrow.

It was no big deal that the spectators, who were able to watch the legendary hero’s glorious flight from a close distance, couldn’t control the overwhelming emotions rising from the Danjeon.

but.

As there are exceptions to all things, not everyone or everyone ahead of such an event was happy.

An example of this was this man.

A tall bell tower overlooking the village scenery intact.

A middle-aged man with a haggard impression leaning against the railing of a building that is dizzying just by looking at it.

His name is Robert.

At the same time as the owner of an inn that operated a well-known tourist accommodation in the area. A person who was once the head of a family.

Yes, that person.

Just a few weeks ago, due to an absurd incident in which a dungeon disaster occurred without any notice and pinpointed his inn, the inn he had prepared with all his retirement money from his previous job evaporated without leaving a trace, maybe. A man who might be the most unlucky man in the world.

Moreover, the damage compensation received from an anonymous person who felt sorry for his situation was taken by his wife and ran away.

It was safe to say that the only property left of him now was his emaciated body.

”Goodbye… This filthy world…”

And now, he was about to let go of even that one and only possession.

The capital of this system, where the saint’s audience room is enshrined, is a sanctuary among so-called sanctuaries where no dungeon disaster, said to be the source of Buddhist scriptures, has occurred in thousands of years.

It was unfortunate enough that the dungeon disaster had occurred throughout the sanctuary.

The disaster had left all the other buildings in the vicinity and completely destroyed his own inn.

The horror Robert felt was indescribable.

To the extent that the complaints of fellow merchants who were furious about the land price drop due to the dungeon disaster seemed absurd.

Even when, a few weeks ago, a nameless rich man appeared in front of him out of nowhere and rented out his inn for several days, ignoring Robert’s raised price three or four times the market price.

He had never dreamed that such a terrible misfortune would befall him.

”In my next life, I hope to be born in a peaceful world where dungeons like beggars’ feet don’t exist…”

It was around the time that he made that sad wish his last will and clung to the railing of the bell tower more fiercely than before.

”Whoa!”

Right under the railing that I was holding on to.

Surprised by the unidentified figure sitting like a gargoyle statue on the ground where even a bird’s nest seemed dangerous, Robert let out a shrill scream and sat down on the floor.

”All, what are you! Why are you doing this here! Are you crazy to die!?”

Regardless of whether the person who had made up his mind to die a moment ago had the right to say such a thing.

His thesis itself was justified.

It would be safe to say that sitting on the outside of the bell tower railing, as if clinging to it, was more than a lack of fear, a kind of suicidal act.

”What, what! Everyone, are you a priest?”

Robert, who had calmed his startled heart to some extent, slowly checked his movements.

staggered height. skeletal body. A sharp appearance that makes you wonder if it will be a good match with your younger self.

He seemed to be in his mid-to-late 20s, but it was considered difficult to estimate his full age because of his white hair, like an old man who was nearing his death.

but.

Gorgeous embroidery embroidered on the means he is wearing. Precious jewels dangling in clusters.

Judging from those factors, it was possible to guess that he was a so-called high-ranking priest who held a certain high position.

”Hey, mister… If you’re free, would you listen to me…?”

”What?”

What kind of bullshit is that to someone who has just decided to die.

If it was the usual Robert, he would have answered like this.

However, perhaps it was because the man’s whitish eyes looked so pitiful that he seemed to be looking somewhere far away instead of here.

Robert wanted to hear the man’s story.

To the extent that I can regard my sickly face that I have seen in front of the mirror every morning lately as a face full of vitality.

It was because the man’s ugliness, as if he were looking at a corpse on the verge of death, stimulated Robert’s sympathy.

”You’re not listening. okay. After all, there is no one who takes my side under this vast sky. thank you Thanks to you, I made up my mind. Finally, I saw the blue sky without a single cloud to my heart’s content, so now I have no regrets…”

”ah! I’ll listen! You won’t have to listen! A young person can’t use it if he’s already living with such bad thoughts! You bastard!”

Although I felt that it was very funny to see myself trying to save people from the place I climbed up to die.

With the idea that he could take at least one saga of the underworld, Robert decided to accept the company’s counseling.

◈◈◈

The man revealed his name as Lays Rowville.

According to him, he seemed to be worried that the sexual harassment of his boss, who had been persistent, had recently reached a level that could not be tolerated.

”No matter how many times I said I didn’t want to do that, they didn’t listen to me at all, and each time they did what they wanted… just forcibly… Yesterday, in a hurry, I was holding my breath when he said he wouldn’t sleep with me…”

”Ugh····. That’s a year to be punished…”

Robert gently patted him on the back as he covered his face with both hands and cried like a brokenhearted girl.

To show such a startling reaction would mean that the boss at work is quite ugly.

Robert, guessing the situation he was in, let out a damp sigh as if it were his own.

”In that case! Just give up! What’s wrong with you is doing it there! At that time, like a man, I would slap my resignation letter in the face of that beggar boss!”

”I want to do that too. It’s like a chimney. I couldn’t quit for the time being because there was an unavoidable situation… But using that as a pretext, this time my immediate supervisor is trying to get me promoted by giving me achievements that I don’t even remember, perhaps trying to stop me from quitting…”

”Hi, my God… These are crazy bitches…”

The fact that the Vatican was corrupt had been guessed to some extent through the bigamy article of a person named Priest Mabel.

Because this was the first time I had witnessed the reality in its entirety.

Robert was so shocked that he couldn’t keep his mouth shut for a while.

”No, until the situation got to that point, did everyone else around you just watch? There was no one who would dry it!?”

”No, that’s it. I have one of my former co-workers. What should I say… I was worried because I was trying too aggressively to stop them…”

”What?”

”I once worked for a while with a kid who looked like my nephew, whom I took care of for a while. After knowing my circumstances, I will support you until you become a grandfather. I’m telling you to clean up your current job coolly, and when you meet a gap, you’ll get it…”

”her! What a wonderful nephew! why? Why don’t we just live together?”

”I did something very wrong with that child in the past. In fact, even after I’ve cleared out some of the sediment, I still feel a little uncomfortable seeing my face… Furthermore, living with a child who is my nephew at this age is a bit of a worldly thing…”

”Ah, I guess so!”

Even if you are a friend without a uniform, you seem to have a certain degree of inbok.

How nice it would have been if my son, who had left the house long before his wife left home, would have resembled even half and half of that wonderful nephew.

It was around the time Robert was chewing on those gray regrets.

A faint electric current flickered like lightning in his head.

”ah! So what about this! Priest bachelor!”

”Yes? What is it?”

”Talking about having someone to marry!”

”········Yeah?”
