162 – you come – 1

As they left and tried to return to her room, she ran into Benedict III.

Although he has risen to the position of Pope, he is not as free-spirited as he used to be.

Veronica smiled broadly at a man like her father.

“Pope. Do you know what day it is today?”

“what?”

“It’s a very nice day!”

The pope laughed at her lively appearance.

She is a child who lost her parents in the past and did not even show any facial expression.

A child chosen by God who had no choice but to look at the world pessimistically.

The child who was envied by many because of having enormous divine power and outstanding talent.

Now that it is grown, it praises the brightness of the world.

So happy about that, the Pope raised his big hand.

“so?”

“Yes!”

“Can you tell me why you’re so happy? I want to feel a little bit of your happiness.”

“Whoopoo~.”

But Veronica didn’t answer. I just smile like I’m happy. The way the corners of his mouth twitch while twisting his body is so funny and cute that the pope burst out laughing.

“hahahaha! I know who can please our Cardinal Veronica this much.”

“Yes.”

“Are you a wise man?”

“Ugh… that’s right?”

A blush appeared on her blushing, happy face. Seeing her like that, the Pope nodded.

“Yes. If it’s you and the wise man, I’m sure we’ll be able to live happily. Huhu. I’m looking forward to it.”

Sage and Veronica.

The two of them get married and have a child that looks like them.

When I think of the sight of them smashing the heads of devil worshipers amicably, it warms my heart.

The Pope stroked Veronica’s hair again with affection.

“Anyway, what about this? I want to officiate at your wedding, and I also want to stand by your side.”

“Can’t you do both?”

“Ha ha. Is it okay? Hmm. Yes. Well, it will be fine. It’s a happy day. Even the Creator will allow it.”

Saying that, the pope slightly turned his head.

A huge statue of God in the center of the church.

There was only warmth and respect in his gaze as he stared at the statue of the Creator, the creator of this world and the father of all.

“Please. I hope that your future path will be filled with only happiness.”

“yes!”

After the meeting with the Pope, Veronica returned to her room and sat down in a chair. And, looking at quite a few items in the room, I smiled.

things received from the sage.

Things that imitate the sage.

all things sage.

now.

in this room.

The real Hyeonu can come.

Veronica giggled and hugged Hyeonu’s handmade doll.

oh I really liked it in Segman City.

It would have been the best if I hadn’t said that strange thing while riding the gondola.

Veronica lay down on the bed, hugging the doll. Hyeonu’s doll was inserted between the large breasts.

struggling.

Lying down and flapping her long legs, she hugged Hyeonu’s life-size doll next to her tightly.

I want to see.

How long has it been since we broke up and I already miss you?

“really…”

Veronica lightly pinched the wise man’s doll and face and smiled brightly.

“Because it’s petty.”

do i love you like this don’t you know

am i thinking of you like this don’t you know

still.

still.

Veronica smiled as she hugged the doll tightly.

“…but I like it.”

Patience is a virtue for the clergy, and it was also a rule to be followed in life.

That’s why Veronica thought her patience was very strong.

“…Cardinal Veronica?”

“Uh, huh?”

“I’ve been blank since before…”

Sister Olwen of the Thirteen Sisters asked, looking anxiously. Although he is a subordinate, he is like a sister who, like himself, slept in the orphanage run by King Benedict III.

At her, Veronica smiled awkwardly.

“It’s nothing. Yes. It happened in the western city of Tsykarn…”

“The matter is already over.”

I can’t concentrate at all.

That would also be the case, since two weeks had already passed since Hyeonu left.

The first day was expectation, the second day was happiness.

But from the third day the sun rose, there was nothing but nervousness.

That would be the case, and at this point, it was time for Hyeonu to return.

Still, it bothers me that he is not coming.

Maybe something happened?

otherwise

Maybe it’s because you don’t like me?

Ahh.

what to do

what to do

“Sage-nim, you received a call saying that you are in the south with Gwalteirak-nim, right?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Gwalteirak, the apostle of Cosmo, the foreign god of space.

I don’t know what he’s trying to do with him, but I got a call just yesterday that Hyeonu is moving in the south.

At the same time, there was even a report that he had caught a demon, so as the head of the Heretic Questioner, it would be a matter of rejoicing.

but i am anxious

What the hell is Hyeonu doing?

“Cardinal Veronica. A letter has arrived.”

“Where! Where!!”

Veronica jumped up from her seat and received a letter from the nun.

And I was downright disappointed. That was also the case, since the sender was Cecil of the dukedom.

“It’s about inviting the wise man to give lectures on resurrection and the law of death and to request support for experiments.”

“okay…”

Hyeonu had said it before. I have to go to the principality and help it.

As the words fell out, Veronica nodded.

The reason why the dukedom requested cooperation from the church was probably because Hyeonu was currently staying at the church.

She nodded shyly and put the letter in the drawer.

Then I tried to concentrate on my work again, but the letters didn’t come into my eyes.

“Phew. Sister.”

Then Olwen’s voice was heard. Veronica flinched at the annoyance in her voice, and Olwen shook her head helplessly.

“Why don’t you go and cool your head?”

“That’s right. I’ll buy you coffee when I come.”

“I’m dark.”

After leaving the office, Veronica let out a heavy sigh.

It seems that he caused damage to his sister by being shaken.

“…Ehh. Really.”

Where the hell are you and what are you doing?

Veronica grumbled as she walked down the aisle.

I really think I’ll become an idiot with only Hyeonu in my head at this rate.

“I’ll pinch you when I get back.”

With that resolution, she left the building and headed for the front door of the church to go outside.

found there

A man in a white robe entering the church.

The man who continued to harass Veronica without even peeping his nose for days.

“Hyunwoo!!”

The thought of pinching each other a lot disappeared in an instant. Veronica ran to Hyeonu, delighted to the point that if he had a tail, it would wag.

and.

Unable to control her overflowing heart, she fell into his arms.

“Really! Really! Where the hell did you come from now?! Huh?!”

“Hey. Look at people.”

“What do you think when you see it! And no one sees it. What!”

“okay.”

Hyeonu’s hand patted his back. In that joy, in that pleasure, in that joy.

The body, which had been heated up as much as it had waited for a long time, was spewing out cries of joy.

Naturally, strength enters the body and the arms that embrace him tighten.

“I really wanted to see you…”

“okay.”

“Anyway!! Where are you going now?”

“No… I came here to check something for a while.”

“Check? What?”

“There is such a thing.”

Veronica was terrified when she heard that the sage was going around again. Even though she hadn’t been there for just a few days, she became such a fool.

But are you going again?

alone again?

Veronica held him tight.

It can’t go on like this.

“…can you make time for me this evening?”

“I’m going to sleep here tonight… It’s fine. Why?”

Veronica looked up at Hyeonu.

Now, can’t wait.

if he doesn’t come i just go

“…I have something to tell you. Very important.”

Did you notice her sincerity?

Hyeonu thought for a moment and then nodded.

“Okay.”

Veronica returned to the office right away. I have to take care of things right now to meet Hyeonu tonight.

“Hyunwoo is here!”

“Really? That’s good. By the way.”

“yes?”

“How about coffee?”

“…ah.”

Olwen frowned under her glasses, and Veronica stood up shyly.

“I’ll be right back!!”

Veronica’s work-processing ability, which began to concentrate, was beyond imagination.

Also, people can do it.

As soon as she finished her day’s work, she made a reservation at a fine restaurant near the church. After renting the entire third floor and rooftop there, she returned to her room and opened the closet.

Today is a special day.

I couldn’t just wear the usual nun’s uniform.

“Ah. aaa…”

However, Veronica has not been very interested in clothes until now. Occasionally, when women I know like Cecil, Lacey, or Lucille ask me to buy some clothes, I’ll buy them.

The only thing in the closet is the dark nun’s uniform.

If you keep looking at it, nothing will change.

In the end, Veronica let out a deep sigh and opened the box not in the closet, but in the corner of the room.

What was there was a ceremonial uniform for high priests, worn only by cardinal-level priests on very important occasions.

Veronica sighed as she saw the white cloth symbolizing innocence, and the beautiful uniform with golden patterns and embroidery, which meant obeying the will of God.

It’s an outfit I haven’t worn since becoming a Heretic Questioner.

He said that white doesn’t suit a child of a god who has to fight.

However.

I’ll have to wear this for today.

Veronica slowly changed her clothes and looked in the mirror.

The silver-haired beauty reflected in the mirror couldn’t hold back her laughter.

Just finished getting ready.

After putting on her makeup, which she doesn’t normally wear, and finishing her grooming perfectly, Veronica took a deep breath and headed for Hyunwoo’s room.

and knock.

Hyeonu, who came out after a while, looked at Veronica and grinned.

“It’s pretty.”

It’s pretty.

That one word was nothing short of light.

Veronica was about to shed tears at those deeply addictive words that made her feel more comfortable and excited than the drugs given to soldiers to escape the horrors of war.

Her legs trembled, wrapped in pure white stockings and white boots. Feeling like she might collapse at any moment, Veronica hugged Hyeonu tightly by the arm and smiled softly at him.

“I have a reservation. Let’s go.”

Was it because Veronica went and asked for trust?

The third floor of the restaurant was empty. It is the result of the restaurant owner’s sacrifice for Veronica, who is an ardent believer and rescues a child who was previously kidnapped by devil worshippers.

Sitting on the roof of such a luxurious restaurant, Veronica looked at the wise man and thought.

I came all the way here with momentum.

And the rest… what should I do?

“Appetizers are here. A salad with button mushrooms and cremal fish.”

“thank you.”

A manager in a nice uniform lets go of the dishes and leaves. Then he slightly turned his head and gave a thumbs up. Veronica nodded at her and smiled sweetly.

“Come on. Let’s eat.”

“Looks expensive here…”

“This is fine!”

okay. This is fine.

The food was delicious, the scenery was nice, and the meal was enjoyable.

In fact, no matter where you are, if you are with the person in front of you, you will always be able to smile.

We went to the terrace to eat dessert. The seat is a long chair. It was the owner’s consideration to sit next to each other.

Thanks to that, Veronica sat down and leaned her head against him, taking a deep breath.

now.

It’s your turn.

“…Hyeonu.”

“yes?”

He sipped his juice and turned his head to look, gasping for breath.

What should I do?

I have to confess.

In an instant, fear soared.

A speck of anxiety becomes a spark and spreads like a huge flame inside Veronica.

What if the person he wants to marry is someone else?

What if it’s just a flutter?

What if he was in love with another woman?

Perhaps.

Perhaps.

Perhaps.

For the first time, Veronica could sympathize with people’s words about the sage.

no one can understand the sage

If I could understand him, if I could know his true intentions, I wouldn’t be so afraid.

‘no. veronica.’

You always did.

You were always afraid, and you always overcame it.

So.

“Hyunwoo.”

Veronica drew in a breath.

Then, staring at him very seriously, he held his hand.

The trembling that had been engulfing her entire body until just now stopped like a lie the moment she held his hand.

“…marry me.”

“….suddenly?”

“I’ll make you happy.”

I couldn’t read the sage’s expression.

Even after receiving the confession of a lifetime, he just paused for a moment.

But now Veronica had no time to worry about that.

“Of course, you might be thinking about it, so I’ll give you a fair choice. First.”

gulp. Swallowing, Veronica stared straight into Hyeonu’s eyes and said.

“Take me as your bride and live happily ever after.”

“…second is?”

“Being my husband and living happily ever after. Now, how is it? It’s completely fair, isn’t it?”

Isn’t it a fair and honest alternative?

As if to show that she was so merciful and broad-minded, Veronica was confident, and the wise man burst into laughter at that confidence.

“Ha ha ha. What is that?”

“Poem, noisy!”

blushing more shamelessly.

Isn’t that what you were determined to do?

For Veronica, who had made every effort to break through the wall of the wise man’s mind in the first place, this much was nothing.

“What are the other options?”

“no.”

“I see.”

Slowly, erasing his laughter, the wise man tightened his grip on Veronica’s hand.

That gave Veronica strength.

“Thank you. I’m so glad. But…”

“…”

“Can you give me a little more time?”

“…why?”

“…There are things to check, and there are people to meet.”

What was in the eyes of the sage was will.

It was indomitable that nothing could break, and it contained stubbornness.

“Therefore, there is something that must be obtained.”

In his words, Veronica.

asked carefully.

“You don’t… hate me, do you?”

afraid.

scary.

I’m worried about his answer.

Even though she knew that it was not, the future created by the dust-like fear was haunting her.

and that fear.

unbearable fear.

“If I had to be with you for the rest of my life… it would be with you.”

Hyeonu took it off with a single word.

Ahh.

you really

kill it

My body relaxes with relief. Veronica muttered weakly as she placed her face on Hyeonu’s chest.

…that’s why i like it
