The Half-Puny Priest Hopes To Retire

256 – Epilogue. The Saint Smiles Wordlessly. (2)

The appearance of a hero.

The news was like a bolt from the blue, causing great turmoil in the quiet office.

Crash!

I jumped up from my seat, picked up the clothes scattered around the room, and put them on.

Maybe it was because we were competing for time.

Unlike his panicked head his, Youngmin’s body his his his was moving perfectly to resolve this dizzying situation.

“I see! He’s in the office! He’s been working hard since early in the morning! He’s my husband, after all!”

The sound of his wife’s voice echoing in the quiet hallway could not have felt more frightening.

Since the location was identified by smell, the grace period given was at most 10 seconds.

I don’t know if I could somehow tidy up my disheveled clothes, but it wasn’t enough time to process all the traces of last night left all over the room.

It is even more impossible to hide a nun with a missing waist from the warrior’s eyes.

It was clear that the phrase ‘four-faced’ is a word referring to a situation like this.

“Please tell Welna that you loved her. I hope you live happily ever after her without such an ugly sister…”

As she glanced around, she saw her nun, humbly accepting her fate her, reciting the last words of her life her her her life her.

There are degrees of being quick to give up.

Apparently, my mind had reached the point of selflessness due to the fear of exceeding my limit.

I, too, have experienced the same situation several times while crossing various lines of fire with my colleagues, so I could fully understand how they felt.

“Stop talking nonsense and hide it quickly! I’ll do whatever it takes to take the time!”

“I’m okay, Priest Lajis. It’s true. Think about it. All it takes is one life returning to the Lord’s arms.”

It doesn’t look good at all…

If you really want to claim it’s okay, how about starting with her corpse-pale face?

Thump thump!

“Father! You may come in!”

While I was preoccupied with something else for a moment, there was a loud knocking sound and the door to my stately office began to shake like a leaf in a cold wind.

Apparently, I heard that it was a door that wouldn’t budge even if the Minotaur rammed into it.

Even though it has been a long time since he retired from the front lines, the warrior who has not lost any of the status he had during his heyday, turned out to be harsh today.

“Why are you locking the door? Are you hiding something from me? Haha! Whatever it is, it’s okay! As long as it’s not a woman!”

Kwasik! Kwazijic!

We were just putting on our clothes, but the last line of defense that blocked the warrior’s advance was already on the verge of collapse.

“Pfft!”

It was no longer the time to choose between means and methods.

There is no choice. This is what happened…!

◈◈◈

Jump up!

“Father──!!!”

Come on!

As soon as the door opened, I quickly picked up the warrior who flew towards me like a flying squirrel.

“Ah, hello, warrior. Good morning.”

“Haha! It’s me, good morning!”

Even though we only saw each other for half a day, the warrior is happy as if we were reunited after decades.

Is it because there was a sin committed?

This bright smile, more like the sun than the sun, seemed to be condemning my sins, and my throat became dry.

Judging by the fact that her hair was slightly moist and had a floral scent, it seemed like she had come to see me right after finishing her daily routine of morning training and showering.

“Huh! By any chance! You were in the middle of morning work! No way! I’m interrupting you again!”

“Oh, no. It’s okay! I was just about to start work. Don’t worry about it.”

I smiled awkwardly and struggled to respond to the bright words.

It wasn’t every day or two that a warrior came into my office, so to be honest, I didn’t have anything to worry about now.

The problem is that there are mines buried inside this office that could harm the warrior.

At the moment, he seemed to be so preoccupied with me that he didn’t notice, but considering the warrior’s sense of smell that made even the beastmen stick out their tongues, it was only a matter of time before he was found out.＜ Br＞

“Hero. The weather is really nice today. If you don’t mind, how about going for a walk together for the first time in a while?”

“Hot! A walk! You mean a walk? Of course! I had the same thought as the bride! As expected, the couple is one in unity! I was so touched!”

Seeing the warrior happy like a puppy at my sudden suggestion, my conscience soured that I couldn’t bear it.

No matter how unintentional it was, what I committed was clearly adultery.

But at this moment, there was something I had to prioritize over this personal guilt, so I firmly set my mind.

“But! Are you sure it’s okay? I thought you were always busy during this time!”

“Don’t worry. I worked hard every day. Do you think God will overlook this much nonsense?”

“Indeed! I see! This is also the importance of daily conduct! After all, you are a priest! Thanks to you! Another enlightenment!”

“Ahaha…”

I forced the corners of my mouth to droop down and controlled the guilt that plagued my thoughts.

For the nun’s safety, we must get the warrior out of this room as soon as possible.

I focused all my attention on that single goal.

“Then, shall we get ready to go out right away?”

“Yes! Please leave your lunch box to me! The opportunity has finally arrived! A huge sandwich filled with the bride’s favorite Minoan steak! A perfect opportunity to present the so-called Hero Sandwich!”

“I tell you this, just like last time, sandwiches made with meat piled on top of each other are not allowed. You should also eat a variety of vegetables.”

“Haha! I hope you don’t worry about that part! The meat we slaughtered this time is meat that has been fed plenty of vegetables! It will have plenty of nutrients!”

“Ah, yes…”

Let’s take the vegetables separately.

Jump and jump.

I slowly walked out the door while holding the very excited warrior.

The high point was right around the corner.

Just by taking the warrior out the door like this, the nun’s safety was more than half guaranteed.

It was a last-minute solution to make everything happen. I never thought this would work.

After all, there is no way to die soon.

“But before that! There’s something we need to do first!”

“Huh? What is that…”

“It’s pest control!”

“Yes?”

Pow!

The strength left my body with a blunt blow.

With my consciousness intact, I just naturally kneel down.

The fact that I did not feel any pain during that series of processes aroused a strong sense of fear.

“Yo, warrior?”

“It’s okay, Father. I know you didn’t do anything wrong. I trust you, Father. You wouldn’t break your trust with me on your own. So, all of this is entirely a dare to tempt you. It’s the fault of the wicked vixen who fell for it…”

The warrior said this as he gently hugged me, who was standing awkwardly on the floor, without any strength in my body.

Only then did my brain, paralyzed with astonishment, begin to recognize the situation that had befallen me a beat later.

Yes. The moment you entered the room, the warrior had already noticed everything.

Even my affair. Who the opponent is.

“Don’t worry! It will be over soon.”

“Hey, hero! Wait! Wait a minute!”

I pulled out the sword at my waist and hurriedly stopped the warrior who was slowly walking towards somewhere.

However, with his body he barely able to move his acupuncture points, all he could do was cry out his voice his earnestly.

It was a disaster.

If I had known that things would turn out like this, I should have just been honest about the situation rather than trying to destroy the evidence!

It was around that time when all too late regret passed through my mind like an arrow.

“─!”

Shake!

The warrior dropped his well-held sword to the floor and began to stagger, covering his mouth with both hands.

Now that I look at it, my once bright complexion has become pale beyond recognition.

“Wow!”

Nausea came out right away.

It may have been the hero’s action to suppress others, but because of that, the series of actions became more clearly visible.

Oh, that reaction. No way…

“Uh, wow——!”

Get on it!

The warrior, who had been struggling for a while with his mouth covered, hastily kicked up his seat.

Looking at the direction it disappeared, the destination was clearly the bathroom.

It seems that he could not suppress the rising feeling of nausea and ended up spitting out all the contents in his mouth.

She says she always wants to look beautiful in front of me, and even she refrains from yawning or sneezing.

It wasn’t that difficult to infer the motive for the action.

I lived.

Truly a miracle from God. It was a timing that could not be explained other than that heaven helped.

Of course, the warrior’s doubts have not yet completely dissipated, and he may simply be putting off the problem until later.

Now, I was just so thankful that I got through this difficult time safely.

“Le, Raiges Priest—!!!”

“Yes! Sister! I’ll drop you off right away!”

At that moment, the nun who had hung me on a chain outside her window so as not to be seen by the warrior desperately looked for me.

After that, she thought she was really going to die, and she had to comfort the nun for a long time as she cried loudly like a child.
