Surviving as a Saint in Another World

probation (3)

The memorial service lasted longer than I expected.

If you think about it, it was even more strange that the ceremony was held with such a large amount of money and the ceremony was simple.

Then at least let me practice. It takes a lot of courage for a petit bourgeois like me to do something in front of people.

I thought it would be enough to come down after saying something plausible, but after that, all sorts of events took place under my own control.

It was embarrassing that everyone proceeded with the event as if it were natural.

Did you practice in advance without me?

Fortunately, as the memorial service continued, I was able to return to the prepared seat and rest as the order of the ceremony did not require me to supervise, such as singing hymns or having survivors come out and share their experiences.

“You worked hard.”

“Are you done now?”

“It’s not completely over, but there are only minor events that Saint Ronan won’t have to worry about after this. After the memorial service, a talk with the priests is scheduled, but you can rest in peace for now.”

Then can I run away now? I am embarrassed to hear the stories of survivors describing me as a hero that will never exist again, and thanks to that, I feel burdened by the gaze of the nobles who are looking at me with great interest.

“Then can I look around the church for a while?”

“Is there a place you’d like to visit?”

There are no people anywhere but here.

“I just want to look around.”

“Shall I give you an escort?”

“No, it’s fine.”

In the middle of the city, inside a church with so many people, you shouldn’t have a situation where you need an escort.

The princess also nodded without saying anything, as if she had asked out of courtesy.

After leaving the main hall of the church where the memorial service was being held, Celia and I went further into the church.

There were so many people outside that I didn’t even dare to go out.

Most of them were mobilized for the memorial service, but the inside of the church was quite quiet.

As I walked along the way, I found a familiar building.

Haven’t repaired the hole yet…

I destroyed half of it, but before I knew it, I, who had transformed into something the monsters had done, reached the ruined building fighting the monsters.

“Is this the place where Ronan-sama worked?”

Still, I was glad that it was a familiar building, so I went inside, and Celia looked around and said so.

When I nodded my head in the affirmative, Celia, who had been wandering around curiously, found something and stopped in front of it, staring back and forth between the hole in the ceiling and the front for a while.

“Anything interesting?”

As I walked next to Celia, wondering what was so strange about it, Celia looked at me with an expression of half joy and half resentment.

“I wish I had been there too.”

If I was at the scene, I would have had the priest abandon me along with the kid. What are you talking about?

Suddenly, wondering what was going on, I turned my gaze to the place Celia was looking at, and I froze.

The Holy Son wiped out wicked things and prayed for the salvation of the souls unintentionally stained with corruption, and Orion took pity on the situation and performed a miracle at this place. All interference is prohibited, including

…what is this?

There was a signboard with the contents written on it that made your body grow chicken just by reading it. No matter how many times you read it, the contents did not change.

What are you talking about designating a sanctuary? I don’t think it’s an easy thing to hear, but by the time the church allows that, the church’s leadership will already be replaced and I’ll become a powerful person who can decide the big and the small. Isn’t it too brainy?

“That’s too much to say.”

“I don’t think so.”

You weren’t even there

As I was thinking about that, I felt the presence of people entering the building.

“You’re really steady, too.”

“What does that mean to the person who saved you?”

“If anyone hears it, they’ll think we’re going to meet him. I should be thankful too. But he’s in the parish right now? If you’re so sincere, you should’ve gone and talked to him.”

“How dare I…”

“You’re a very devout man…Robin, you weren’t like this.”

“Well, he’s different.”

Celia and I reflexively turned to the entrance of the building, where voices could be heard.

At the entrance, two children dressed in full-length costumes were walking into the building.

The names that popped into my head were very familiar.

I see, you survived well. As expected, I heard that you are alive and well, but seeing it with your own eyes gave me a strange feeling.

“Huh? Who’s there?”

“We’re not skipping around. We’re doing everything we need to do…”

The two children who naturally approached me as if they had judged that I was a priest inside the church, perhaps because they were wearing similar clothes, froze on the spot when they saw me.

Yes, if I were to become a cleric in the near future, a saint who would become your far superior…

“Hey, angel?”

Not an angel! Angels are so far away!

“It’s been a while, Robin-nim. And this is the first time I’ve greeted you like this. Nice to meet you, Ray-nim.”

When I tried to ignore the little boy’s words and greeted them safely, the two little boys came to me in a hurry and bowed their heads.

“Hello! How is this… No, I’m not saying there’s a problem with you here…”

“I have heard many stories. I heard that I have been indebted to you that I cannot repay. Thank you very much.”

Unlike the kid who was flustered and talked nonsense, the kid’s friend was flustered but thanked me with his own manners.

It was a pretty plausible attitude, probably learned while staying at church.

“There’s no need to be so flustered or be polite. I just took a moment and looked around here and there. Ah, this is Celia, my servant. Celia, this is Robin-sama and Ray-sama. That day, me These are the people I worked with.”

“””hello.”””

Their voices echoed at the same time.

In the meantime, when Celia was said to be my attendant, the little boy looked at Celia with a competitive look and was pinched by a friend.

It seems that the future to be captured later is already visible.

“Ronan-nim. What did it mean to be together…”

“Robin-sama joined me from the slums and stayed with me until the end, and Ray-sama was the one I rescued from demon worshipers along the way.”

“Oh, I see…”

Why are you looking at a young kid with such competitive eyes? I really don’t know why.

“Then have you seen all of Ronan-sama’s activities?”

“Sure! Have you seen the words written here? These are based on the testimonies of people who saw the situation at the time…Ah, should I start with the activity you did in the slums?”

The two, who seemed to be checking each other, suddenly began to talk actively about what kind of wind was blowing in an instant.

In addition, the content of the conversation portrayed me as an agent of a miracle that would not exist again in the world, and was eagerly affirming it.

Of course, I desperately want a masterpiece like this, but hearing embarrassing noises in my face is a completely different matter.

It’s hard for me to hear that, so I ran away here.

“Robin-sama. It wasn’t something to be praised that much. Besides, it’s too exaggerated.”

“What are you talking about! I couldn’t express this properly. The situation at the time is difficult to describe in words…”

“Aren’t you just shy?”

Exactly. Exactly.

The kid’s friend hit the mark. He was a valuable talent who looked at my petit bourgeois tendencies without prejudice for the first time in a while.

“Say something sensible.”

Just before I lightly nodded, the little boy hit the candle like that.

“What’s there to be ashamed of? It’s all true. It’s because you couldn’t see it with your own eyes. You’re even the one who experienced the miracle.”

No! Your friend is right!

“That’s why I said several times that I don’t remember anything after I’ve become a monster to some extent.”

“Then there’s a good chance I’m right about this.”

“I have something to say about that. Ronan-nim has performed miracles many times already. He is not someone to be ashamed of.”

“is that so…?”

Is this an error of majority rule or something? Tears covered my eyes as I watched the minority who spoke the truth were persecuted and their opinions were broken.

“Selia-sama must know a lot about the saint I don’t know! Even if I ask about it…”

“Robin-nim. How about talking about that?”

If left as it is, the two of them would be talking all night about the situation right after my previous life up to the present, so I moderately restrained them.

“Ugh, I’m sorry. I dared to presumptuously reveal the saint’s identity…”

“No, it’s not like that.”

Don’t try to put such an authoritarian frame on me just because I stopped talking once. Was this kid’s image like this?

“It’s really not a story to brag about. We’re at a memorial service. It’s too expensive to entertain the story of the living.”

The surroundings became solemn at the words he spat out to moderate the situation.

Having said that, it was a pretty heavy story.

“I hope the day will come when we can laugh and talk about it, saying that something like that happened someday.”

I was a little embarrassed, so I added a word like that, and then I swept the signboard with useless words written on it.

It’s all because of this exaggerated advertising.

As I was thinking about that, I felt another crowd at the entrance.

“Sister, would you really mind walking around like this?”

“It’s really good. You’re getting healthier day by day, but you still have a lot of worries.”

What kind of meeting place is this? Why are there so many people visiting this building with ugly holes in it because it hasn’t even been repaired?

Are you sure you’re not really coming here because of this absurd sign? Isn’t it a hotspot that everyone already knows?

Looking back toward the entrance, I saw a familiar name again.

But this time, the face on one side felt quite unfamiliar.

He must have eaten a lot of good things in the meantime. It’s been a few days since I haven’t seen him, but he looks so healthy that I can’t remember what he looked like before. Actually, he was a duke, but as soon as he got better, he must have eaten all the good things that were good for his body.

“What kind of people are like this… Huh! Saint!”

“oh…”

The people who entered this time were the siblings of the Duke of Thorpe.

“How should I greet you? Thank you, my saint. I am living my life thinking of it as a second chance that Orion gave me.”

The young lady approaching me bowed her head and bowed to me.

“I didn’t do this to get thanks. I’m glad you recovered safely.”

When the aristocratic siblings greeted the children and Celia again, they unexpectedly began to communicate with each other.

Even the aristocrat, who was a bit unimpressed at first, nodded when he realized that the person in front of him was the Miracle Children, who had recently become quite famous.

What are those… Miracle Children?

“Children of Miracles” is the name given to both the evangelist of miracles who directly see and talk about the miracles performed by the Holy Son and the person who embodies miracles who directly experienced miracles.”

As soon as I heard it, my head hurt. Is it possible to give the two orphans in the slums even titles like that?

I just couldn’t see the Archbishop teaming up with devil worshipers to troll even if I died soon enough?

“Come to think of it, I was the first to receive the miracle that the Holy Son caused. Shouldn’t I also receive that title?”

The young lady smiled as she said that. I could tell right away that it was a joke from her voice full of laughter. Originally, she was such a bright person.

“That won’t work!”

The little boy’s friend, who had been the most passive participant in the story so far, showed a strong reaction for the first time.

Even the joking young lady couldn’t hide her surprise.

As everyone’s eyes focused, the friend, who seemed embarrassed, hesitated and continued.

“Your lady is a great enough person even without that title. But that’s all I can offer. Please don’t take it.”

The need for approval? I didn’t seem like a child who was obsessed with that. Besides, the feeling he was feeling was closer to pure fear than jealousy.

“Is that title important to you Ray?”

Eventually, I became curious about the reason, and when I intervened, my friend put on a sorry expression, then glanced at the kid, then wept, and hesitated for a while before starting to tell me the reason.

“The reason why I can be here as an orphan and penniless is because of that title. If it disappears, I might have to go back to the slums.”

And if you go back to the slums, you might break up with the kid.

Could you be so stubborn?

Strange, according to Ronan’s memory, the church was taking care of the poor, especially children, to some extent. Ronan was also noticed by the church and was picked up by the headquarters. Was Ronan really a special case?

So, Pastor Reese was running an orphanage here too. These kids used to go to church all the time, so why aren’t they entering the orphanage?

I was going to ask the children myself, but I thought it might be an rude question, so I decided to ask Pastor Reese later.

“I’m sorry, Miss Ray. I didn’t mean to. I was joking, but I didn’t consider Miss Ray. Pretend I didn’t hear.”

After hearing her friend’s words, Young-ae stepped forward and apologized.

It would be hard to think of an aristocrat apologizing to a lowly citizen in this age of thinking, but he was a real person.

My friend was also shocked and bowed her head saying that it was okay.

By the way, if even the guy who has the embarrassing title of miraculous person has such worries, then the people who lived in the slums saved this time will soon be left alone in the slums again soon?

I suddenly remembered that the princess’s slum people’s loyalty to me was strangely high.

They’re lowly, and they’re not very numerous, but apart from the clergy of this church, they’re the first pure supporters of mine, and sooner or later they’re going to become obsolete?

How can there be no way? After all, money is needed to make the poor human and integrate them into society.

Money enough to provide food, clothing, and shelter for hundreds of people, as well as sufficient education.

I’m penniless right now, so where can I get that kind of money? On the surface, this is for public interest, so if I tell the princess, can I get it?

Thinking about what to do, I moved my gaze meaninglessly and inadvertently landed my gaze on a nobleman standing at a distance.

Come to think of it, after treating Young Ae, so many incidents happened one after another that I completely forgot about them.

Didn’t this aristocrat obviously say that he would do anything for me as long as he saved the young lady’s life?

Secretly, I want to ask for unconditional support for me, not for the church, but since this noble has not become the head of the duke’s family right now, such a request is meaningless.

It would be helpful to some extent if it was used to exert political influence, but as long as there is a princess who is the pinnacle of that field, this is not the best either.

Besides, those things are bound to be intertwined with me in some way.

Even if it started to collect debt, it is a story that at some point it could be unintentionally woven into a community of destiny.

Sufficient verification was necessary before making a request.

After all, the most convenient and neat way to repay debt right away is money.

“Haren.”

“Yes? Why?”

A nobleman who stayed blankly and then sent me a friendly gaze as if he would remove his liver when I called.

Even though a lot of time has passed, it seems that my gratitude towards me has not been diluted at all. Isn’t it the way to forget the kindness that seemed to last a lifetime after time passes? Am I just a well-educated, well-rounded guy?

After rethinking the awkward possibility that I had come up with, I took a look at the aristocrat’s face and spoke.

He’s a duke in his name, but he won’t be petty, right?

“You said last time that you would help me in some way, is it still valid?”

Surely you’re not thinking of cheating on your promise last time, are you?

“No, of course!”

The nobleman, who looked at his sister for a moment, answered like that.

Judging from the young lady’s narrowed eyes, it must have been a fairly absurd nobleman’s individual opinion.

I don’t think it’s something I would say, but you shouldn’t tease your mouth carelessly.

“Then would you be able to provide financial assistance?”

Hey, do you have any money?

The nobleman’s expression became subtle, as if this was an unexpected remark.

Smile. Pretend to be friendly. Anyone who sees you will know that you are ripping off things.
