CH 121.2

“Grandpa, this is in the way, isn’t it? I’ll take it off for you…”

Arena came from the side and touched it with her finger. With a click, the collar came off and fell to the ground.

“…Hii…hiii…?”

The cardinal’s reddish complexion turned pale as he looked at the junked collar with his eyes wide open. He then turned his eyes to the Pope without changing his expression, who was looking at the girl that took off his collar with a happy face.

“Thank you, young lady. I felt very liberated.”

“Gladly. If you don’t mind, I’d like you to join Cielo and let the people see the images that girl is showing. Can you do that for me?”

“‘Yes, of course.”

“Nah!? What are you talking about? [Oh, look, the Cardinal is looking at something strange!] What!?”

He tried to refute the Pope’s words, but Aidle’s voice in the video made him look in that direction, and this time he gasped.

[What is that? It’s a back account book! Wow, this is terrible. Let’s see…20% of the church’s donations? It seems that they also took quite a bit of the support money from various countries. No, Cardinal? It’s money that everyone worked so hard for, so it has to be used properly for the people. The religion of the heroes is about everyone’s happiness, isn’t it?]

The followers stared at the projected Meat Daruma man with a piercing gaze. The Cardinal thought he was going to get bagged and tried to run away, but his shoulder was grabbed with great force, and he dropped to his knees in pain. He looked at the owner of that hand who spoke to him.

“Where are you going? Cardinal Rand McGale?”

“Ma, ma, ma, Armani… why… and you too, you demons!”

“Did you think we were dead? Yes, you did witness our Knights and your fellow bishops disappear into the snowy mountains with the heroes… we have literally crawled back from the depths of the earth to return, you miserable bastard!”

“Gebi!”

To his surprise, the bishops, who had been tied with a rope, were brought to the ground by other members of the Order, all of them kneeling on the ground together. Armani also kneeled in front of the Pope.

“Pope…I am grateful for your patience…”

“Don’t apologize…you made it back in one piece. You guys should see that together. I’ve never had such a good time in my life.”

“Ye, yes!!!”

Arena then produced a microphone with audio amplification and handed it to Pope. The Pope stood next to Cielo with it, said a few words to the people, to the faithful, “Everyone, please look at that quietly…” and fell silent.

“Father… the collar…”

“Let’s watch. We’ll talk about it later…”

“…Yes!”
