“Why should I go that far?”
“…Pardon?”
The Pope spoke in a sharp voice.
“They are those who have abandoned God’s will. At most, we may offer them guidance as a minimum act of mercy. That is all.”
Raul nodded.
As expected, the Pope harbored deep resentment toward the Northern Continent.

Seizing the moment, Raul invoked church doctrine.
“Your Holiness. That is discrimination. God said, ‘Cherish and love all.’ This action goes against the doctrine of our faith!”

“Before saying to cherish and love all, God cherished His own people and punished those who were in error. Read the Old Testament. See what became of those who defied God and drove out His people.”
“……”
“If another Human–Demon War occurs in the Northern Continent, that will be divine punishment, not our fault.”
Raul closed his mouth.

The other bishops, seemingly swayed by the Pope’s words, nodded repeatedly.
The rulers of the Northern Continent were heretics who had defied God’s will.
Thus, if disaster befell the Northern Continent, it would be righteous divine punishment.
And if such events truly came to pass…

‘The Church could grow even stronger.’
Those who feared divine punishment would flock to the Church.

The bishops gathered in the Vatican supported the Pope.
After calming his emotions, the Pope smiled.
“Bishop Raul.”
“…Yes.”
“One day, you too will come to understand.”
“……”

Was it truly right to form a non-aggression pact with the Demon Tribe?
‘Hoo…’
Bishop Raul gave up on thinking further.

“The Mass has ended. Let us go forth and spread the Gospel.”
“Thank you, God.”

The choir’s sending hymn echoed throughout the church.
Zeppelin headed toward the exit.

A nun was standing there.
She bid farewell to the believers as they left the church.
Zeppelin gave her a slight bow and passed by.
Then—

“You seem unfamiliar. Are you perhaps new here?”
The nun took hold of his arm.
Momentarily startled, Zeppelin quickly regained his composure.
“Ah, yes. I moved here a few days ago.”

The nun smiled brightly.
“My name is Klein Gabriella Katia.”

“My name is Nicol Zeppelin.”
“It is nice to meet you, Mr. Nicol Zeppelin. Is this your first time attending this church?”
Zeppelin shook his head.
“No. I have attended a few times before.”
“Oh! Then you are a believer. Which church did you come from?”
“You likely would not recognize it. It was a church in the Northern Continent…”

“The Northern Continent…”
The nun’s expression twisted slightly.
It was not discomfort, but an expression born of pure compassion.
She brushed Zeppelin’s shoulder gently and said,
“Oh my… You must be a believer who walked a path of hardship. You must have suffered greatly.”
She was clearly speaking kindly, yet why did it sound faintly sarcastic?
Е nūm̊ а̄.
Was it because his own feelings were twisted?
Or because it was something said by someone who had never experienced war?

Zeppelin shook his head.
It was all in the past.
He composed himself and offered the nun a smile.
“Thank you for understanding.”

The nun smiled back.
“Still, seeing that you have returned to the church like this, it seems that God’s grace and guidance have shone through. I am relieved.”
God’s grace? Guidance?
Zeppelin gave up on smiling.

With an indifferent expression, he nodded.
“That seems to be the case.”

The nun watched his expression for a moment, then slowly loosened her grip.
“If you ever face hardship or difficulty, please come here and pray at any time. God is always watching over you.”
“…Thank you.”
Receiving the nun’s smile, Zeppelin left the church.
The nun watched his retreating figure.
“Sister Katia.”

A priest who had approached at some point spoke to her.
She clasped her hands together and bowed her head.
“I greet you, Father.”
“What do you think of that young man?”
“I am not sure what you mean…”
“Did you not sense any killing intent from him?”

She shook her head.

“I am not certain. To my eyes, he seemed only gentle and kind, like one of God’s lambs.”
“Hmm…”
The priest recalled the footsteps of the Zeppelin who had just left.
He smiled and turned away.

“I see. So he is fine as long as he is not provoked. That was helpful, Sister Katia.”
“Thank you.”
The priest’s footsteps gradually faded.
She slowly raised her head.

His final words lingered in her mind.
‘Fine as long as he is not provoked… What did he mean by that?’

But her thoughts could not continue for long.
“Sister, see you next time!”
“Ah, goodbye.”
A flood of farewells from the believers.
She refocused on her duties.

It was an invitation from the Lord of Baster, asking him to come to his castle tonight.
