329 Episode 320 Future Pope Timotei (1/2)

”And let me just say, from a position of authority...

Oh, so now it's all about Naiya personally, and from here on out, it's about her position as a nobleman - a regulator.

”Eighty percent of the Empire's subjects--whether enthusiastic or not--are members of the Church of Mary-Celesia. The stability and prosperity of the church is, in other words, the stability and prosperity of the Empire.

'Well, you said something like that... but 80% is still amazing...'

When you get to this point, on the other hand, the remaining 20% who don't believe, I'd like to know what this breakdown is.

It could be something like no religion, indigenous beliefs, or a new religion.

How unguardedly and honestly impressed I was when - the bombshell came out from Naiya.

The most important thing for a knight and nobleman who has given his sword and allegiance to the empire is to maintain a relationship with Timothy, who is also a candidate for the future pope.

I unintentionally had a spinal reflex to Naiya's outlandish statement - and as a result, I had a dispel-type S-class cheat, 'What?　What? The first thing that came to mind was the outburst of the ”Mere Old Man”.

It is of the utmost importance that I maintain good relations with Timothy, a future papal candidate.

I've completely unintentionally severed the cause and effect and started over - but no, I can't help it, can I?

'Yes...?　Future...?　Pope candidate...?　Huh...?　Timothy...?

I turned around to look at Timothy.

'It's that. Before I knew it, it was such a big deal...

Timothy is the smallest, most shrunken and fearful person I've ever met.
