Regressor Instruction Manual

Untitled Part 115

"Certainly, it happened. No, maybe even now... they will be fighting."

"He didn't understand it, but he said now he can understand. Of course, that doesn't mean he can understand distorted fights. He said he could understand the faith of fighting for what he believed in. I think I can see why Goddess Benignore and Elune made him their messenger. Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung, his faith is pure. He is a very clean person."

"What?"

"He's a real priest with pure faith. He knows the road he's trying to go is dangerous, but he's not afraid. He doesn't hesitate to fight in the name of God. He even said he was studying Varian's doctrine... Hahaha. It's time to reflect on myself once again. Have I ever fought under the name of God? Am I qualified to say I am a priest? About what I've done far..."

"You did many things. And the Senior Bishop Priest will still do a lot in the future."

"No, all I did was... nothing. I didn't do anything for God."

"No, priest."

"Open the way."

"I'm sorry?"

"You have to open the way. They have a cause, and we don't. You have to avoid fighting. There is no reason for the people of the Republic to shed useless blood. All he wants is to be one under the name of light. All he wants it's to catch the demon summoner Jin Qing and end this chaos. We have to open the road and head to Castle Rock together."

"What?"

"I told you we should be with them, Yev Karina."

"What are you talking about, Senior Bishop Priest? We're at war now. Opening the way? That makes no sense... And doesn't the Priest Bishop know better than anyone else that Jin Qing is not someone like that?"

"I was talking about possibilities. If he is really confident, why didn't he come out in the continental trial? Why was he consistent by not answering questions from the State? He's the demon summoner. I saw it clearly with these two eyes."

"I think you are drunk. I'll listen to that tomorrow. Please go back now."

"I'm not talking nonsense, Yev Karina. I saw it clearly! He said he received divine revelation! He's the demon summoner... He has to get the proper Inquisition trial."

"I told you I thought you were drunk! Bishop Priest!"

"Jin Qing, didn't he say he was the demon summoner?! Yev Karina!"

"If you talk about useless things anymore, I will rule it with military law!"

"..."

"..."

"I'm sorry... It Looks like I got excited for a moment..."

"Phew... No. I can fully understand you..."

"Would you have a drink with me?"

"I'm fine, priest. My head hurts, so just go back. And what happened today will be posted regardless. No, I'll pretend I didn't hear anything. Please, think again."

"Okay... Okay."

"I didn't say much, but I respect the priest a lot. I want us to meet him with a smile tomorrow."

"..."

As I watched the priest walk away, his drooping shoulders came into sight. I couldn't even begin to imagine what conversation they had.

I bit my lips tightly. I looked at the wine on the table. Naturally, I took it without knowing it. But soon, I had no choice but to throw the glass that the Bishop Priest's poured to the floor. It was because I realized my choice had been a mistake.
