Chapter 38: Disciplining the Nun XII (1)
Bahamut’s condition was simple.
When the job was over, he wanted to claim the ownership of the Lugano area for himself.
From the point of view of cleaning up the trash, it meant that he wanted to receive that much as a cost of labor.
“How about it? If you don’t like the conditions...”
“Ah... no! Not at all. I’ll let Mr. Bahamut handle it the way he wants, so please finish this job well.”
At Bahamut’s words, the Archbishop asked for the matter to be dealt with even more strongly.
Getting what he wanted, Bahamut put a warm smile on his lips and said to the Archbishop, “Yes, of course. No matter how I look, I am also a believer. It is unacceptable to let them stain the illustrious name of the Holy Church any futther. Don’t worry, we’ll take care of it without even alarming any mice or birds.”
“Thank you. Thank you very much.”
As the matter ended in his favor, Bahamut began to look back on the current situation, which was getting more and more interesting.
‘Indeed.. the destructive power of a good story is greater than one can imagine...especially if it is reversed.’
The story of the true identity of Linda Halls.
Of course, only Bahamut was aware of her numerous acts of atrocity.
However, if Bahamut had simply reported the matter to the Holy Church in the form of an accusation, things would not have worked out so smoothly.
As it was a matter of big embarrassment for the Holy Church, there was a high possibility that a small number of people would try to quietly cover it up on their own.
In addition, if the situation went badly, there was even a possibility that Bahamut, who knew about the matter, would fall under pressure to keep his mouth shut.
However, Bahamut made an ingenious move.
He made them find out the secret by themselves by delivering it in the form of a touching story of a selfless nun.
“It’s nothing. Rather, you are more amazing for allowing me to finish it neatly like this.”
Seeing Bahamut who had his usual affable expression on his face, Isolda gave a sneaky compliment.
“Honestly, I was a little surprised, to think that they would call you directly to the Holy Church, not somewhere else...”
“Well, to tell you the truth, I didn’t expect this much either. I thought that there would be a result, so I simply threw the rice on the ground, and I was lucky that it went quite well.”
“You are being too humble...”
Facing Isolda’s admiring gaze, Bahamut simply told her the truth, but no matter how much he tried, Isolda didn’t believe it.
‘Somehow, it seems like her evaluation of me is getting a little too high... well, does it really matter?’
He had planned the matter with the information he knew from the novel and with a little bit of luck, he succeeded in capturing his target.
That was the limit of the so-called ‘ability’ of the man called Bahamut. However he didn’t face any major issues in achieving his desired goal with that limited ability.
‘But no matter how much success I get, there are limits...simply knowing the future is not omnipotence.’
Knowing that your ship would be sinking the next day didn’t really help while you’re in the middle of the sea.
