361-354 Adultization of the Pope

When I approached the Pope after breaking through the warding by force, I was lightly confused when I saw the Pope's appearance.

As a race, she was closer to the elves and her ears were firmly pointed, but from that, she was even more mysterious, like Forenoir and the other spirits.

If Catherine saw this figure, I'm sure she would worship it even more...such a thought occurred to me.

Just immediately after seeing the pale and painful face of Pope-sama, he returned to his senses, and after activating the Extra Heel to save Pope-sama, he grabbed Pope-sama's hand and transferred his magic power.

I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what to do with it, but I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what to do with it, and I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what to do with it, but I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what to do with it.

Behind me, Catherine-san seemed to be following me and trying to get in between the Pope, and Galva-san was desperately trying to stop her.

I overheard her voice and tried to recover the Pope's magic power, which was my top priority.

After about five minutes of magic power transfer, Pope-sama's complexion improved and her breathing stabilized, so I decided to awaken her in order to find out more about the situation, albeit a bit forcefully.

''Pope, Pope, it's time for you to wake up.''

First of all, I tried to wake him up by shaking his body... but he didn't awaken.

''Luciel-sama, it's been quoted since long ago that a passionate kiss is the way to wake up the princess.

Rosa, what are you talking about?

Catherine exclaimed at Rosa's words, and I couldn't help but look back at her sudden statement as well.

'Luciel-kun, you have a moment to spare, right?　Then I think we should do everything we can.

Then, for some reason, Galva-san, who had an amused look on her face, took advantage of Rosa-san.

I felt like I hadn't seen Galva-san smile like that in a long time.

I'm sure she's stressed out now that she's seconded to the church headquarters.......

But if I were to kiss the Pope with this, Lord Leinster would surely manifest himself........

I'm sure Lord Leinster must have such a spell built in as well.

I didn't have any desire to go on such an adventure, so I thought I should imagine and use a magic that would forcibly awaken my consciousness as Lord Leinster taught me, so I relied on my imagination and invoked a spell to awaken my consciousness without chanting.

Then a blue-white light was sucked into the Pope's forehead.

Shortly thereafter, the Pope opened his eyes, although he still looked a little pained.

'Are you awake now?　Pope.

N...?　That's Luciel!　How do you get to the church headquarters........oh, no, I hear that you've become a liar lately and that you've become a liar.... What's more, why are you in the Holy City? Is the matter of Duchy Brange already over?

The Pope's first voice makes my face cloud over.

''It would have been nice if that was the case, but apparently I realized that the purpose or aim of the evil gods was this holy city... and the Pope, so I hurriedly came back this way.

And even if the evil gods summoned demons and demons using the magic circle that existed above each labyrinth, since they invoked the sanctuary wards, the demons and demons would be purified as soon as they were summoned, so they should turn to ashes.

''Then what about Brange? There was enough miasma gathered in the direction of Brange to be visible.

''It's alright. I've cleansed the site once, and I've entrusted the site to my reliable master and squire leader...

Well....

But although I said that to appease the Pope, who was worried about Brange's miasma, I was worried about my master and Lionel.

Because of that miasma knight who showed us how to cancel out the purification wave.... I'm not going to be able to say that the miasma is the only one that was different from the others, because I had a bad feeling about that knight.

So I noticed the Pope looking at me with concern and decided to change the topic.　

''By the way, Pope-sama, your figure seems to have grown quite a bit, what's happened to you?

'Hmm...?　What do you mean by growing up?

Maybe you haven't noticed?

Would it be easier to understand if you stood up?

I decided to reach out to the Pope and ask him to stand up and try creating a mirror with water magic techniques.

Of course, I didn't really have that kind of time to spare, but I had a feeling that once the Pope returned to his physical condition, he would somehow become an asset to the war effort.

This is the mistress.......yes, you've grown up nicely. "This is the mistress.......Well, you've grown up nicely, haven't you, Luciel, if you were to press on her like this, she wouldn't be perturbed?

'I accept the fact that the Pope is a beautiful woman. But I don't think so.... For that matter, may I ask how that change came about?

If I hadn't had an encounter with Lord Leinster, I might have been a little shaken up, but since I knew how awesome and scary Lord Leinster was, I wouldn't be swayed by his appearance.

'Nuh-uh, a quick answer... well, that's okay. There is a magic tool that Father made to activate the wards, but as soon as I activated it, it shattered. The magician's magic power to activate the warding was absorbed by the magic circle that created the warding, and he lost consciousness. That's why I have a few ideas, but I'm not sure which one is the right one.

Well how is your physical condition with that?

I don't know if it's because I have my magic back, but I feel a lot lighter than before.

'What will the Pope do after this?　I'm going to head to support the War Maiden Holy Knights and see what's going on at the lowest level while dealing with the immortal attribute demons (undead) that are flooding out of the basement....

However, I doubt that putting up a barrier between the Holy City and Church Headquarters will be of any use to anyone.

'I think it will be. Perhaps the Pope has risen to a much higher level, or perhaps his sealed power has awakened. Unfortunately, he's a blank and doesn't seem to have much experience in actual combat, but I think the Pope has a role to play in the Pope.

Role....

'Yes, sir. The Pope is safe and maintains his wards, and I think that fact will keep the morale of those at church headquarters up.

I understand. I've got the magic power restored by Luciel, and I'm keeping my wards intact, so I'll quickly purge the immortal armies and evil gods that are pouring out of the basement.

''I understand. Then I'll give it to you so you don't run out of magic.

I gave him the magic crystal sphere that Paula and the others worked so hard to mass produce.

''I'll give you a few just in case. Pope-sama, please devote all your energy to maintaining the ward and have the three outside the ward protect you.

Save yourself Luciel, don't die.

So, once Pope-sama released the wards hanging in the room, Galba-san and the others came in.

''Pope-sama, I don't want to be in pain and painful, but more than that, I don't want to die from anything other than old age (...) anymore, so I'm going to finish it quickly and go into hiding.''

''Haha - you're no longer in a position to be allowed to do that rather than being able to do it... but what do you mean already (...)?''

I smiled vaguely and didn't respond to the Pope's question, but told Galba and the others that I wanted them to protect the Pope, and that's all I told them, and jumped out the window.
