chapter 21
21. The Last Companion. A saint likes holy water (1)
21. Last mate. A saint likes holy water (1)
[There is no such probability? A crowd of denominations preaching people in the park! Of course there are future saints too! What is Lee Jun-woo’s choice?]
[One. After putting on a mask and hiding his identity, he kidnaps the saint.]
[2. Betraying Minerva and burying the bones in the Goddess Bridge.]
Lee Ji Seonda appeared in front of me as I met the saint.
Option 1 was written in great detail, and it seemed like a good future was waiting for me without even looking at the answers.
‘First of all, the correct answer is, of course, number one.’
Option 2 will shout no to anyone looking at it.
The moment I betray Minerva, my easy choice ability disappears.
Because the person who asked the question itself was Minerva, and I am her devotee.
It could be seen that it was crazy to bill other goddesses.
‘… Still, I’m curious about the future.’
Would you like a little taste?
At that moment, another option appeared in front of me.
[Do you really need to see it, Lee Jun-woo? The questioner of the question might be pissed off? Are you really going to see a treacherous future? I don’t want to see Goddess Minerva.]
[One. see.]
[2. Goddess Minerva is pitiful! I don’t want to see you!]
“… ”
Yeah, Minerva doesn’t like it, so I don’t see the answer-
I was going to do it, but I was very curious about the future.
With the feeling of spying on the back of the Kumon study book.
I decided to check the second answer.
…
The Hero Party safely defeated the Demon King.
The wizard didn’t attend the party celebrating the hero’s party.
And, I was quietly escorting her behind the saint.
“Jun brother.”
“Yes, Estia-sama.”
“How am I today?”
“You look beautiful today too.”
“Huh, I knew you would answer like that. I hope that God’s blessing will be with you today as well.”
Saint Estia was relaxed.
He showed kindness and was favored by people.
On the other hand, there was also the appearance of a playful child.
Behind such a saintess, I just stood still.
‘… What the hell is this?’
It’s so unrealistic, it’s ridiculous.
Why do I just stand still like a slave?
Even though it was a future country, it was an act that was completely incomprehensible.
Meanwhile, another Hero party member appeared from afar.
Luna and Hare.
It was a look that had matured over time, and both of them had grown into unimaginable beauties.
Estiya looked at them and waved her hand.
“Luna~ Bye bye~”
“… hi. Estiya.”
Warrior Luna.
She only greeted me lightly and passed me with a pitiful look.
“Hello, how are you?”
“You, I will kill you… ! I will definitely kill you… ! Always watch your neck…!”
“Ah~ Was it you who fought with my brother yesterday? Yes~ try hard enough to kill me, Hare!”
Hare trembled with anger and met my gaze.
He put on a sad expression and clutched at his heart as if his chest was in pain.
“mister..”
Then, as if he couldn’t see them anymore, he quickly left the place.
‘It’s dizzy.’
What the hell does this have to do with it?
Seeing Hare running away, Estiya got up from her chair and approached me.
“Because you did well yesterday. I’ll compliment you today. Come on, head!”
Won’t you give me your head
It seems like my voice can’t be heard.
The future me naturally gave my head to Estiya.
When a guy a lot younger than me stroked my hair, I felt really refreshed.
“brother. You did well yesterday. thank you.”
“yes.”
“Then, I’ll give you holy water as a reward! Did you really like it on the first day we met? Now, open your mouth, brother.”
“… ”
The future me naturally opened my mouth.
White light gushed from the saintess’ hand, forming a river in her palm.
The river babbles like a stream, pouring into my mouth.
gulp- gulp-
I drink the flowing holy water as if I won’t miss any of it.
Right after that, my future self started to tremble.
He even slapped him on the cheek, as if he couldn’t feel any sensation in his face.
Then, when he came later, he stroked his cheek and put on a happy expression.
The answer sheet after that was torn mercilessly, as if he didn’t want to show it anymore.
…
“Aren’t you crazy?”
I just saw
I think it would have been better if I hadn’t seen it.
It was hard for me to bear to see my broken future self.
It wasn’t that the body was broken, but that the mind was properly broken, so the shock also came greatly.
“Minerva warns me properly… ”
[I should have warned you. Junwoo Lee. You chose and blamed others at will, and even confirmed the future that you betrayed Goddess Minerva, of course you should be punished, right?]
[One. Kong-slap his head with his fist.]
[2. I scream loudly in front of people saying ‘I’m an idiot’.]
“You’re just saying to hit me in the head. Don’t you know the joke, Minerva?”
bean-
I banged my head against myself.
The citizens around me looked at me as a strange person, but I didn’t bother.
‘First of all, since I’ve confirmed the future that will be ruined. The correct answer must be number 1.’
number 1.
kidnap the saintess
The answer was clear, without having to look into the future.
I wanted to check the answers, but since I might need them in the process of kidnapping the saintess, I decided to leave a second chance to see them.
If that’s the case, I just need to get the timing right while tailing the saintess…
“excuse me.”
“… ?”
The feel of the sleeves of your clothes.
Someone was holding my sleeve.
The voice was that of a familiar girl I had just heard.
“Estiya. You must not move recklessly.”
“it’s okay. There is something I want to ask this person.”
“To me?”
“It’s rude. Dare to speak nonsense to Estiya… !!”
“Paladin Eric. Stay still. You said there was something I wanted to ask you.”
“… yes.”
Contrary to the kindness she had just seen, Saint Estiya’s voice was cold.
A firm and compassionate appearance now.
A future that was relaxed and playful.
I didn’t even know what she was really like.
“Never mind. Paladins are naturally sensitive to the outside world.”
“… That’s right, there’s something more to ask me than that.”
“Yeah, I’ve been curious about it for a while. Wait… ”
Estiya blurted out her words and began to look around me.
He seemed to be observing something carefully, even touching his nose and smelling it.
Each time that happened, the gaze of the paladins became harsher, but I did not make eye contact with them.
“Hmm… ”
“… Not a dog, what does it mean for a person to smell a person?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. It smells and I unintentionally… ”
I should have washed it clean, but it smells.
Maybe the smell the saint is talking about is a different story.
As an apostle of the Goddess, I too can smell Grimoire.
Even the saint noticed the smell of Minerva.
It meant that there were marks that could be identified among religious people.
“Oh, I see now. It’s the same smell. It’s also a very strong scent. By any chance, what is the name of the goddess you worship?”
“Minerva.”
The goddess Minerva.
The only apostles are me and the owl.
Estiya laughed as if surprised, whether she had ever heard of it.
“Ah, you are an apostle of a goddess who belongs to the Goddess Church. Sorry for not seeing you.”
nodded-
Estiya politely bowed her head 90 degrees.
It felt 180 degrees different from what she looked like in the future.
After apologizing once, Estiya raised her head and abruptly grabbed my hand with both hands.
“Our Goddess Church welcomes the apostles of all 12 goddesses! So, by the way, why don’t you come to church once… ?”
“Come to church… ?”
Hearing that sound brought back memories from the past.
‘Little boy. Why don’t you go to church?’
‘Oh no, lady! That taekwondo academy is late, so I have to go quickly… !!’
‘Don’t do that, just listen to me for a second~’
‘Gaah-!!’
I was late for the Taekwondo academy, and the memories of being scolded by the director came to my mind.
Actually, what impressed me more than that was my face soaked in holy water that I had just seen.
Remembering that memory, she didn’t particularly want to follow Estiya.
“No, I don’t think I can go today because I don’t have time.”
“I don’t have time… ? Are you saying that you believe in the Goddess but don’t have time to come to church right now? Are you a heretic?”
“No, why is that?”
“just joke. You may not have time to pray today. I understand. It’s okay to come to church next time.”
Estiya stuck out her tongue and gave off an atmosphere that it was a joke.
However, when I saw that I had dead eyes when I said that I couldn’t go to church, it seemed that my sincerity was about 50%.
‘For now, it’s not the church, but going to wear a mask later… ‘
Now, if I followed her, I thought I would be pickled in holy water, so I quickly decided to leave.
“Anyway, not today, but next time. I will definitely visit the church.”
“Then, thank you! Making the apostles happy and comfortable is what our Goddess Church does. Please, please use it next time.”
fresh-
Estiya saw me off with a smile like a cafe employee.
However, why?
That smile was so sinister that it seemed to swallow me up.
“… So goodbye. I’ll go.”
“Wait a minute before we go.”
“yes?”
“Maybe I can call you brother… ?”

Jun’s brother
Did you call me that in the future?
then…
“No, just call me uncle.”
“… Yes? That’s too bad. I wanted to call you brother.”
smile-
Estiya was still smiling, but the ominous atmosphere never went away.
Something is scary. I just want to go quickly.
I turned my back on Estiya and quickly ran away.
At that moment, Estiya’s voice came from behind.
“See you next time. brother.”
“… ”
The whole body feels cold like the middle of winter.
Saint Estiya of the Brave Party.
What is her real face?
With that thought in mind, I went home and started preparing to abduct her.

church.
In her private resting space, the prospective Saint Estiya shouted.
“Oh, I miss holy water. I’m tired of acting now.”
The benevolent figure disappeared, and the playful girl raised a glass of water.
squeak-
Then, all the water in it was thrown on the floor.
“Estiya is Seongsu~ I like Seongsu~”
heh heh-
Humming, Estiya wet the floor with water.
As the happiest time of the day came, I was already feeling good.
However, I remembered a sad moment today.
“… I feel sorry for that brother. I am an apostle of a goddess whom I haven’t seen in a long time~ If I followed the goddess, I would definitely have liked Seongsu~ I wanted to show you this happiness~”
The divine power manifested in those who have sincere faith.
Estiyah’s divine power is unique.
It brings happiness and makes worries go away.
It makes you immerse yourself in long pleasure and forcibly replays happy memories in your head.
Truly a divine miracle.
For those who live to be happy, it was nothing less than a miracle of a goddess.
Estiya reached out and started filling the glass with holy water.
“Well, he said he would come to the church later. Can you tell me then? Kick.”
squeak-
I’m sure he will like it too.
Holy water is God’s blessing.
There is nothing in the world that goes against the will of the Goddess.
Estiya held up a glass of water filled with holy water.
Although it is white, it is holy water with a brilliant light.
Estiya, who looked at Seongsu with ecstasy, said while recalling Junwoo Lee’s back.
“I’m going to have a poor and coveted brother soon. My brother, who is rich in the scent of a goddess, I’ll make you happy. Wait a minute?”
gulp- gulp-
Estiya drank holy water without hesitation.
His golden eyes trembled at the happiness that came to him, and he dropped the glass on the floor and sat down on the spot.
There was no pain.
Rather, only trembling pleasures dominated her.
“Ah, ah, ah… this, this one… exhilarating… ”
happy.
I feel so sorry for people who do not know this happiness.
I pity people who don’t know God’s blessing.
Estiya hugged both shoulders with trembling hands.
Saliva was dripping from his mouth, but it didn’t matter.
I’m happy.
I’m addicted to happiness.
“Oh, Goddess… Come today… Hey, thank you for this blessing… ”
Estiya fell on the floor as if praying.
The last mate of the hero’s party.
saint.
She was a serious holy water addict.
