Surviving as a Saint in Another World

crack (2)

Beyond the current conflict between me and the church over what the young lady’s illness was, when stories began to circulate that the church systematically pressured the saint, the situation began to flow more strangely than I expected.

I thought it would be fortunate to just avoid the traps set by the Church and maintain the status quo, but I overlooked the fact that rumors didn’t spread as much as I intended.

The story that the cardinal, who was furious because I did not agree with the church, took my necklace, suddenly turned into a story that even the saint’s personal belongings were being extorted from the church.

The story that the grandson of the cardinal who attacked me became insane was omitted, and became the story that the church was trying to physically harm the saint who was in conflict with them.

…Anyway, isn’t this a bit harsh? Is there a litter here too?

There were only a few people who were watching the situation at the time, but how could the distortion be done in this way?

What is curious is that the church did not respond appropriately.

The cardinal, who must have prepared various preparations under the command of the church, did not give a proper refutation, and cut off meetings with the nobles he had done before, shutting himself up in his room and leaving the main office without any movement. I was just watching the process of swallowing.

I was worried about what kind of plan this was.

In the meantime, even the other races, who had recently been obsessed with devil worshipers and seemed to have no interest in anything else, rushed to me and asked if it was true.

“Young saint. I know this is a stupid question, but I have to check this out. Is it true that the priests of the Order of Orion are trying to intimidate you beyond mere individual differences of opinion?”

“Saint Ronan. I’ve heard absurd nonsense. I can’t help but check whether it’s true… It’s ridiculous that I’m suffering from continuous verbal abuse and assault from the Orion Church…”

“I can’t believe that such nonsense happened. Wouldn’t this prove that Ronan’s saint is not Orion’s saint, but Herna’s saint?”

Their reaction was more dramatic than I thought.

“Does that make sense? Are you really a proper priest?”

“If demon worshipers really learned how to deal with divinity, maybe the leaders of the Order of Orion…”

“You said Orion was just watching as his church fell to demon worshipers?”

“If that’s the case, not only Orion-nim, but also other gods must have made a revelation.”

“Then the gods see this situation as normal?”

“We can’t fathom God’s intentions.”

The most radical argument among humans was that the church had fallen to this extent and sent a saint to change the water once more, but the different races were more than that.

They went so far as to suggest the possibility that devil worshipers had infiltrated the church.

These are signs that cannot be ignored, and the church barely managed to dissuade them from protesting at the national level, saying that the church should come up with an understandable explanation as soon as possible.

Thank you so much for stepping up for me, and it’s good to fight the church on your own, but are you going to go to war?

“The situation is like this, does Orion not give a word to the saint?”

There is no such thing.

It’s either the saint’s own delusion or a means to add public confidence to his claim, but there was no reason to bring it up in this situation. It’s only effective when used once when it’s important.

“Princess. Do you know anything? But aren’t you the next saint?”

“Even if I’m destined to be the next saint, I can’t personally know Ariel’s revelation. If Ariel wanted it, I would have already known.”

…Wait, what?

After hearing the princess’ words, I was confused as if I had been hit in the head with a hammer.

“You’re inflexible. What about the Beasts?”

“You didn’t say anything before you left, and there’s been no contact from your home country so far.”

“What about Lord Gorg?”

“Even if a knight commander gave a revelation, how could he know?”

Everyone was talking as if the revelation of God through the saint was very natural and natural.

Is it really true that God puts revelations directly through saints?

The saint simply chose the one he liked to prove himself, and did a good job. Not at the level of stamping and giving a lot of divine power, but the only window that truly conveys the word of God?

Only then did I begin to guess why the different races were so rampant.

Until now, I thought that saints were God’s agents and all because of stigmata.

It was thought that the reason why he had strong speaking power was because he had an easy-to-understand mark called a stigma, and because he had stronger divine power, he was more easily influenced by people.

Isn’t that also true that giving revelation through a saint means keeping an eye on the human world from somewhere and controlling it from going to a place you don’t want to go to?

From nob le mt l. com

Look at the Orion Church tail.

If Orion really gave the right direction while keeping an eye on the human world, how could guys like the Cardinals be sitting on the top floor of the church and eating them from generation to generation?

Naturally, at some point in the past, the gods might have intervened in the human realm, but I was concluding that it couldn’t be the case now.

As soon as I was reincarnated, I didn’t know the reason, and I had no desire to know.

But what if that premise is wrong and still living in other denominations receiving revelations from God?

So, no matter how much difference there is, what if the theocratic society continues?

I came to a very thrilling realization.

Now that I think about it, the different races had various feelings for me from the beginning, but none of them ever doubted my words.

Until now, I’ve been passing it on lightly, thinking that it’s because I’m a saint, or because those people are exceptionally devout fanatics to the point of being dispatched to the land of humans, but what if being a saint is worth more than I thought?

What if the heterogeneous tribes here do not have exceptional faith, but the heterogeneous tribes that possess saints have continued to experience God’s proof personally and maintain a high level of faith overall?

…

What the hell is Orion doing!!

I cried out in my heart.

Is it normal that the gods are constantly giving revelations so they don’t corrupt? What’s abnormal is that the Orion religion is corrupt, not the fanatical attitude of the different races here? Is Orion pride really bugged?!

Could it be that Orion really died? Or did Orion go mad one day and become an evil god, wanting to see humans devour the world?

But strictly speaking, the god I saw wasn’t even Orion.

They said it’s been a few hundred years since a human saint was born.

Why did Orion lose his power and become like that? So he chose me as a saint, but he doesn’t have the energy to give a revelation?

You share a world view with other gods. If that happened, wouldn’t a neighboring god be able to give you a revelation at least once? Maybe you don’t know that much detail because you live in a different place?

All sorts of complicated thoughts and questions that were difficult to prove immediately followed one after another.

It was only now that I began to understand the mentality of the different races.

I began to understand their remarks, which I thought were fanatics.

If my realization is true, to them the saint was an exception to all earthly priorities.

It is not that the church worships the will of God and that the saint is the head or the face of the place, but that the saint comes first and exists to spread the will of the saint.

If you look at that way of thinking, the current behavior of the church trying to intimidate the saint must be far beyond their common sense.

…Should I become a naturalized member of the beast race even now?

The religious views of this world were far different from those of my original world, to the extent that I instantly thought that way.

Until now, I thought it was a world where there is evidence that the Bible is real, but it’s not enough that the Bible is real, and God gives the Pope the right direction in real time.

It’s weird that the theocracy doesn’t match.

How did the Holy Empire corrupt and how did it fall? One thing is certain, at least by that time, Orion hadn’t already given a revelation.

I couldn’t figure out the cardinals’ goals, so my head was complicated, but it got even more complicated.

Why do you feel like you’re forced to stick your face into the circumstances of the gods you don’t want to know about?

I think I need to find out what happened to Orion, but I had a strong hunch that trying to find out would be very troublesome.

And in the midst of that, an incident occurred that made my head reach the peak of confusion.

“Saint Ronan. I don’t want to doubt the saint, but you have to give me a clear answer.”

I think the cardinals are finally starting to move. Something to come.

“The necklace Saint Ronan was wearing. Is it true that Cardinal Monto stole it?”

“It’s not stolen. It’s just given back to the person to whom it should be returned.”

I’ve said endless nonsense so far, but it’s the first time I’ve lied openly like this, so I was nervous in my own way.

After hearing my words, the princess thought silently for a long time.

I started to get nervous for no reason because the thief wanted to stop me.

“Why is that?”

“Cardinal Monto…whoa…no.”

What is it? I’m the kind of person who gets anxious when someone stretches their tail.

Even the princess’s heart was filled with confusion.

It might seem odd that I and the cardinal hold diametrically opposed opinions.

I kept implicitly asking the princess if there was something wrong in order to get my point across.

“Saint Ronan. Did you know that the necklace that Saint Ronan was wearing was cursed?”

“I…major?”

Are you going to claim that I also used my hands to drive my grandson crazy?

As it was an expected scenario, it was the moment when I decided to blame the cardinal by insisting that I had no idea.

I noticed that the princess’ words were a little strange.

Did you know that the curse was ‘hung’?

It’s not that I cursed it and passed it on to my grandson.

Of course, that’s true, but there’s no way the church would have said that straight away.

“It can’t be. If it was cursed, I would have noticed.”

Even though I had doubts, I indirectly appealed to the fact that I had no idea.

“That’s right. There’s no way Saint Ronan, who also noticed Lady Helena’s curse, wouldn’t notice the curse in the necklace.”

The atmosphere of something flowing was subtle. It was clear that the princess’s suspicions were not directed at me.

“Who said necklaces are cursed?”

“Cardinal Monto has requested protection from the Imperial Family.”

?

what the hell is this

“Yes? Monto asked for protection from the imperial family?”

I was so dumbfounded that I repeated the princess’s words to make sure I heard them correctly.

“Yes. The church said that all the unsavory incidents against Saint Ronan were the church’s conspiracy to harm him and that his life was in danger.”

I couldn’t understand it for a while. I understood it correctly, but I couldn’t figure out the number of goals at all.

Since things are going differently than they expected, are they going to do something while using the cardinal as a throwaway card?

Or are you cutting off the tail to cover up the incident of attacking the saint?

“I… I don’t understand. Isn’t Monto the one who came to the academy with a heavy responsibility from the church?”

“Well, according to the cardinal’s claim, he never retrieved Saint Ronan’s necklace, and that the necklace is under a powerful curse. A curse that slowly drives the wearer mad. The church can activate its function through relics if desired. I also said yes.”

Did you blow it all up?

Did the cardinal strike the ball because he felt like he was about to get his tail cut for a sniff from within the church?

They thought so much of the details for me, but didn’t have the proper control over the soft-spoken cardinal? Did they have any kind of camaraderie?

“I was trying to redeem the saint through the necklace, but suddenly, seeing the cardinal’s grandson wearing the necklace and going crazy, Cardinal Levia in the main office is now trying to kill himself. He said he did.”

What is that…? No, I’m sure I had the idea of inducing you to do so in case of emergency.

“Accordingly, the church side has presented the claim that Cardinal Monto betrayed the church and colluded with devil worshipers to drive the cardinal’s grandson crazy and scare the saint.”

Uh… so…

I had to give up thinking because I couldn’t keep up with the situation any longer.

No matter how urgently. Officially, the cardinal is claiming collusion with devil worshipers? And in the church?

What are you guys doing right now?
