Chapter 97: It Was an Emergency Situation
First, allow me to express my gratitude. Thank you for helping us with the matter of resealing the devil Mephisto. Humanity might have entered a dark era without your assistance.
The pope's attitude changed completely after we were isolated with a barrier.
Despite the usual sour look on his face, he expressed his apology and gratitude properly.
In addition, allow me to express my apologies on behalf of the entire Saint Melt Religion. It's our duty to remove the danger of disaster-class undead, thus preventing me from confirming the situation properly. As a result of my poor decision, we indirectly released an extremely dangerous devil into this world
Well, it was actually the correct and most accurate way for the top of the organization to deal with the problem.
I also didn't inform Holy Knight Lumile about your treatment beforehand. I chose to do that under the consideration that she might be under the control of the undead.
I see, so she really had no idea about the matter of sending me to that white space.
It seemed she was telling the truth.
That was a relief.
You might've noticed this fact, but we absolutely cannot approve of the existence of the undead. That's why please forgive our discourtesy.
It seemed he intentionally showed a hostile attitude since he was in the presence of many other knights.
Sure enough, it would set a bad example for the head of the organization, the pope, to contradict the teachings of the religion.
His position as the pope would be in danger if he handled things incorrectly.
I-I see Then, it really can't be helped.
I replied dryly.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
Suddenly, the female Holy Knight intruded.
Your Eminence, it's as you can see. This undead isn't dangerous; he just unable to communicate properly.
Yeah, it seems to be the case. This matter was even emphasized in the Romana king's message. He's a completely harmless guy.
But if you have a wish, we will do our best to grant it.
It seemed the negotiation had finally been established.
Naturally, the pope was right. The church was really helpless about the matter of purifying me too, but I should set that aside for now.
It seemed that I had no other goal.
We can't treat you too nicely on the surface because you've been acknowledged worldwide as a disaster-class undead. That's why you need to act like you've been detained properly Not that there's a magic tool that can restrain your power.
In short, my "normal" treatment was that they tied up my limbs and put me in an underground prison.
I don't mind. I'm aware that I've become symbol of fear so I don't mind even if I have to put on a show of me being detained properly.
Thank you for understanding our situation
The pope thanked me with a wry smile on his face.
At that moment, the pope canceled his barrier.
A man suddenly rushed in our direction.
Y-YOUR EMINENCE! WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY!
What's the matter?
IT'S THE DEMON RACE! I RECEIVED NEWS THAT THE DEMON RACE IS HEADING TO OUR COUNTRY FROM THE SEA!
What?
THERE'S AT LEAST FIVE HUNDRED SHIPS! THE ONES RIDING THE SHIPS ARE BEASTFOLK. THEY IGNORED OUR WARNING AND ARE HEADING STRAIGHT TO OUR HARBOR!
No way The beastfolk are raiding us?
It seemed we had an emergency.
