Chapter 35 The Prologue of the 7th
“Welco to the [White Sacrant] 1st laboratory, Priest Head Ars, no, you are now Senior Priest if I am correct? Congratulations on your promotion.”
“.......No need for sarcasm Bishop Judas.”
Why am I here?
“It’s true that you have beco a senior priest, but then again, I guess that was only due to the death of the previous superior.”(judas)
“ You should understand; it is a very cruel condition where soone so young like myself had no choice but to beco a senior priest.”(ars)
The two n are talking about sothing. I know one of them. He is Bishop Judas-sama, a very influential and big person.
I don’t know about the other, but probably, he is also the sa.
“This parish does not have the military force to stop another invasion anymore. We need to urgently call reinforcents from the church—-“(ars)
“Enough, don’t say anymore. You are not stupid enough to not understand that the parish governed by you has been already abandoned by the church, right?”(Judas)
I wonder what they are talking about.
I cannot understand what they are saying.
“..........are they telling us to die? To be ravaged and killed by that heretic army, is that what they an!?”(ars)
“So you do understand. Well then, let ask, why did you co to et now?”(judas)
It’s sowhat scary.
To die, to kill, I don’t really understand, but I think it is very scary.
“Bishop Judas, you have stayed here even when all the other priests have run away. You are not going to tell that you are staying in this dangerous place which could be overrun at anyti, just for you research, right?”(ars)
“I see, I see, and?”(judas)
Heretics.........those who don’t believe in god. I have never seen them. Just what kind fearso creatures are they?
“You are a bishop, a rank higher than my own. And on top of it, even the Pope himself has visited this facility. You have many connections in Elysion, no, if I have to say it frankly, you should have the ans to maintain the peace of this land, don’t you?”(ars)
It was the first ti I heard that the Pope has visited here. It’s amazing, but, what is it that’s amazing? I don’t really understand.
“I see. If you use , you could call for enforcents from the church, is that what you’re expecting?”(judas)
“I understand how unreasonable it is, but please. If I am able to drive those heretics away, and a day where this parish once again regains its peace and blessing of god, I will you pay you back with no matter what you ask for. I swear in the na of God.”(ars)
The man bowed his head. He had a big body but sohow he looked pitiable.
“......umu, alright.” (judas)
“o, ohh, really—-“
The man thanked a lot of tis. He looks happy, no this is different, this is probably ‘being saved’.
“Sariel.” (judas)
“Yes.”
I was surprised to be suddenly called by Bishop Judas-sama.
But, nobody probably realized that I was surprised, after all, everyone says that my face is like that of a doll/puppet.
Rather than laughing, or crying, I have been good at just being silent, yes, from a long ti.
“Bishop Judas, that girl is?”(ars)
“The ‘reinforcent’ you wished for. Now, take her with you.”(judas)
The man looked at with a surprise.
I stared back into his blue eyes.
“......this is not a funny joke, Bishop Judas.”(ars)
“Sariel, he is Senior Priest Ars, how about you introduce yourself?”(judas)
“Yes, I am——“
I thought for a bit.
My na is not——– anymore, it’s Sariel now.
One who has received the divine protection of God, one of the special 12.
“7th Apostle Sariel.”
I introduced myself with this na for the first ti.
“Impossible!? The 7th apostle is Lord Ariel of the [silver judgent]! It is unforgivable to use that na–“(ars)
“Ah ‘that’ is already dead. From now on this Sariel is the new 7th apostle. She has not yet been appointed officially so she has yet to be awarded a court rank. So no need to put ‘Lord’ in front of her na when calling her.”(judas)
“An apostle died............and on top of it, such a young child received the divine protection...........”(Ars)
“Now then, your task is finished right? I still have a lot of research to do.”
As Bishop Judas-sama stood up, he faced and said.
“Sariel, what is your duty?”(judas)
“Yes, it is to kill the enemies of God.”
“Yes, that is all you need to understand. For everything else, obey Senior Priest Ars’ commands.”(judas)
“Understood, Bishop Judas-sama.”
“fu, I guess this would be the last ti to be called with a ‘-sama’ by you.”(judas)
It seems when I’ll beco the 7th apostle, I’ll be even above Bishop Judas-sama.
Although I don’t understand what will happen then.
“Then, I shall take my leave now. Senior Priest Ars, may you have the protection of God.”
And thus, my first ‘duty’ began.
Will I be able to do it? Who are the enemies of God? Why am I here? And why am I the only one alive?
I don’t know. I don’t know anything anymore.
But I know just this.
God will not save —–.
