Chapter 13: The unyielding Pope

“Do you believe in Anri Sama〜!?”

“OWAA!?”

After cooods such as medicinal herbs, a voice was suddenly directed fro their way to the shrine with the entrance of the dungeon As it was abrupt and there was no indications beforehand too, Reiji instinctively let out a scream unintentionally

The voice had been directed froal priest clothes and holding a black staff Although he has a well proportioned face, his long awaited appearance was ruined with a s up

“Ah, Mr Pope”

“This is…Tena sama, it’s been a while”

When Tena called out to the person and started a conversation cheerfully, that person bowed reverently back By the way, the 2 person, Orlaine and Eligor are secretly keeping a distance away from that place due to a series of events

Frankly speaking…… they ran away

“Po, Pope?”

“Yes, I a as the Pope of this country”

The blond hair youth introduced hieneration pope of Holy Anri Thearchy to Reiji and gave a light bow

“Erht?Why is such a person here……”

They were at the entrance of the sanctuary just directly beside it’s opened doors Even as a joke, It’s no place for the head of state to be waiting Of course, although there is no e for there to be a Pope in the sanctuary, the ie of a head of state is typically more profound and upper classed, and Reiji was of the same impression too

“That is of course, to proselytize to the new visitors”

“???”

Although the Pope declares it clearly with an expression full of confidence, Reiji who heard that was even more puzzled

However, the Pope is not concerned about the state of such a Reiji and continues speaking

“For new visitors to the shrine, I present you this”

“Eh? Oh, yes Thank you……”

The Pope produce a black bound book from somewhere and presents it to Reiji

Although Reiji did not knohat it was, he tries to receive it while giving his thanks by reflex

At that moment……

“That is no good!”

“Do not touch it!”

“Kaa-!”

Including Tena beside, Orlaine and Eligor who should be keeping their distance and the crow on Tena’s shoulder while you are at it, intervenes in a hurry

“Ha? Eh?”

“Whoa, everyone Could you not interfere with the missionary work……”

Due to the confusion caused by the threatening attitude of the 3 person , Reiji stiffens in the posture with a hand held out to receive the book

On the other hand, the Pope told of his complaint towards them in a dissatisfied voice

“It should have been said by Anri sa the sacred scripture to the visitors incessantly Mr Reiji, you will be cursed by touching the book! As the curse will not be lifted unless a copy is written and passed over to someone else, absolutely do not touch it please”

“WOAH!?”

Tena express a warning towards the Pope like that, and together a warning towards Reiji

Reiji who heard that withdrew his hands that was held out in a panic and moved backwards

The black scripture

However, the s such as 10 yen balding, and it has given rise to various speculation in contradiction with the strength of the curse

In order to lift the curse, it is necessary to make a manuscript of the scripture and hand it over to someone else, and because the curse is placed into the transcribe copy, it had scattered throughout the world causing dae to each country

“No no, I’m sorry That was just a habit……”

“To distribute it to such an extent that it becomes a habit……”

To the Pope as apologizing without a ti in an a his head with his hands

“Didn’t Anri sama already order you to put an end to it?”

“Please forgive that”

The Pope bow deeply while putting away the sacred book to the reproving Tena with her hands on her hips
