First, allow to express my gratitude. Thank you for helping us with the matter of resealing the devil phisto. Humanity might have entered a dark era without your assistance.
The pope's attitude changed completely after we were isolated with a barrier.
Despite the usual sour look on his face, he expressed his apology and gratitude properly.
In addition, allow to express my apologies on behalf of the entire Saint lt Religion. It's our duty to remove the danger of disaster-class undead, thus preventing from confirming the situation properly. As a result of my poor decision, we indirectly released an extrely dangerous devil into this world
Well, it was actually the correct and most accurate way for the top of the organization to deal with the problem.
I also didn't inform Holy Knight Lumile about your treatnt beforehand. I chose to do that under the consideration that she might be under the control of the undead.
I see, so she really had no idea about the matter of sending to that white space.
It seed she was telling the truth.
That was a relief.
You might've noticed this fact, but we absolutely cannot approve of the existence of the undead. That's why please forgive our discourtesy.
It seed he intentionally showed a hostile attitude since he was in the presence of many other knights.
Sure enough, it would set a bad example for the head of the organization, the pope, to contradict the teachings of the religion.
His position as the pope would be in danger if he handled things incorrectly.
I-I see Then, it really can't be helped.
I replied dryly.
Suddenly, the female Holy Knight intruded.
Your Eminence, it's as you can see. This undead isn't dangerous; he just unable to communicate properly.
Yeah, it seems to be the case. This matter was even emphasized in the Romana king's ssage. He's a completely harmless guy.
ssage sothing like a letter?
But for the ssage to arrive faster than our ship Maybe this era established long-distance communication.
Unfortunately, he also ignored that ssage.
As a forr party mber, I have an inseparable relationship with that man. We're still in touch now.
It seed the Hero King, pope, and the rest of their party traveled all over the place a really long ti ago.
They were still in touch, even after both of them beca bigshots.
He even added your circumstances in his ssage. At first, it sounded unbelievable no matter how many tis I reread it, but A human from the era of the Emarina Empire, eh Our religion at that ti was nothing more than a small sect on the western end of the continent. If that's the case, there's a possibility that the founder of our religion was still alive in your era. If there's testimony from soone who lived in that era, we might be able to solve the mystery of the initial stages of the religion or the founder themself?
Please, stop placing your expectations on as the living witness of history.
I might have been an adventurer, but I was just an ignorant youth back then. Even my mories of that era were a bit fuzzy.
So I hope that you understand that, Your Eminence.
After the female Holy Knight who acted as my spokesperson explained my situation, the pope could only nod.
I see. But as an adventurer, he must have more detailed information than a normal person.
Well, my mories from back then were hazy since I often traveled to various places.
No, wait a minute If I used this as a condition for that
If it's only within the range of what I know I don't mind telling you about it Instead, I have a wish
I offered my knowledge of that era as a bargaining chip for the negotiation.
I an, the reason why I ca to this country was to get myself purified and ascend to the afterlife.
Uh Yeah. Let tell you from the conclusion first. In short, it's almost impossible to purify you. If doing so were so easy, we'd have already used that thod.
I see
But if you have a wish, we will do our best to grant it.
It seed the negotiation had finally been established.
Naturally, the pope was right. The church was really helpless about the matter of purifying too, but I should set that aside for now.
It seed that I had no other goal.
We can't treat you too nicely on the surface because you've been acknowledged worldwide as a disaster-class undead. That's why you need to act like you've been detained properly Not that there's a magic tool that can restrain your power.
In short, my "normal" treatnt was that they tied up my limbs and put in an underground prison.
I don't mind. I'm aware that I've beco symbol of fear so I don't mind even if I have to put on a show of being detained properly.
Thank you for understanding our situation
The pope thanked with a wry smile on his face.
At that mont, the pope canceled his barrier.
A man suddenly rushed in our direction.
Y-YOUR EMINENCE! WE HAVE AN ERGENCY!
What's the matter?
IT'S THE DEMON RACE! I RECEIVED NEWS THAT THE DEMON RACE IS HEADING TO OUR COUNTRY FROM THE SEA!
What?
THERE'S AT LEAST FIVE HUNDRED SHIPS! THE ONES RIDING THE SHIPS ARE BEASTFOLK. THEY IGNORED OUR WARNING AND ARE HEADING STRAIGHT TO OUR HARBOR!
No way The beastfolk are raiding us?
It seed we had an ergency.
