The Half-Puny Priest Hopes To Retire

5 – resignation letter.

”I’m quitting.”

”no.”

It’s starting again.

It was a cold tone that seemed to contain such intentions.

It was worth it. It wasn’t every day or two for me and her to exchange such questions and answers.

Still, I think I only did it 3-4 times this week, so I guess I’m on the slightly better side than usual.

”This week alone is already the 20th. The priest announced that he would give up his duties. Please think about my position as I have to go along with the priest’s complaints every time.”

····weird.

There’s no way that a faithful nun would speak a lie under the chapel that was like God’s presence.

Could this aqueduct have comrades of the same sex and same name who are in the same situation as me?

I knew very well that the odds were slim, but I hope so.

”Sister. This time I realized. The title of the saintess’s exclusive guardian priest was the clothes that didn’t fit me from the start. The fact that it’s just a yoke that God put on me for a while.”

”I guess so.”

”There is no evil habit that rusts an organization as much as an incompetent person taking on a heavy responsibility. Even now, it’s not too late. I have to replace the old gear called me as soon as possible.”

”That’s right.”

”Thank you for understanding my meaning. Sister. I’ve taken care of a lot so far. If we meet someday, let’s meet again. Enough then.”

”Yeah. Take a look. Rage’s Guardian Priest. Don’t forget to be back by the saintess’ breakfast time tomorrow.”

Conversation running parallel lines as always.

Even after hearing my earnest plea, the nun’s gaze was fixed on the pile of papers in front of her nose, as if she was looking at an impregnable castle, but she couldn’t bend her will.

In order to obtain a moment of peace, even the last time I felt it, I had to throw off this heavy position that weighed down my slender body.

Took.

The envelope with the phrase ‘letter of resignation’ written on it was carefully placed on the nun’s desk.

One day I thought of throwing it away like I saw in a drama, but I spared my actions because it didn’t seem like a good thing.

”Looking at what you’ve prepared, it seems that you’re quite sincere this time.”

”I’ve always been sincere.”

I always wanted to quit with all my heart and all my heart.

”May I ask why?”

The nun, who was implicitly expressing her displeasure by tapping the floor of her desk with her office fountain pen, asked me a question.

That question was valid.

For those who serve the gods, being the guardian priest of the holy woman is a position that is considered more honorable than the title bestowed by the king, and it is the highest position that is said to be the right seat of a god.

Is there really a foolish human being who would tear up a lottery ticket that he won long ago?

In the eyes of the nun who was watching my behavior, such doubts came to light.

”Kuhm. As the eldest son, I have to take over the family business from my parents’ side.”

”That’s strange. Aren’t you a lonely child born in an orphanage?’

”Yes, actually, I received a graduate student proposal from a professor I knew when I was a student…”

”Priest dropped out of the academy, right?”

”Hometown… the fiancée who promised the future…”

”On the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, the person who returned from the Changgwan, where he was forcibly dragged away by his classmates, never managed to hold a woman’s hand.”

”····I held your hand.”

As the hastily devised desperate measures were refuted one after another, a drop of cold sweat running down my spine alerted me to the crisis.

Hey, for a nun who memorizes even the number of marks on the body of the saintess and the people around her, personal information about me as the saintess’ exclusive guardian priest must be no different from a multiple-choice question.

Lazy lies don’t work. However, I did not have the courage to confess the reality that was facing me.

Recently, the saintess’ physical contact has gone too far, and she wants to quit being a guardian priest because she doesn’t have the confidence to maintain herself as a priest anymore.

There’s no way you can tell someone else the truth that doesn’t sound like words.

It would have been fortunate if he had not been treated as a delusional madman, and perhaps he would have been taken to the Inquisition for defaming the saintess’ honor.

Moreover, just yesterday, after receiving the protection of the saintess out of the blue, the memory gap created by losing consciousness for several hours was fueling the aforementioned embers of anxiety.

Right before she lost consciousness, she begged like a heroine of tragic love in a humiliation novel, saying that she couldn’t do it with her lips.

Right after I regained consciousness, I snuggled into my jacket and saw the face of the saintess who was sleeping soundly like a rabbit in a den.

Although the guardian priest who was supposed to protect the saintess was unintentional, he took her lips.

We must leave this country as soon as possible. Right after that, there was only one thought circuit that moved my body.

”Why is it important? Isn’t it too much for someone like me to begin with? I know my own limits best. Timber that can replace me is widely available around me, and talented people who are superior to me must have twice that amount. With my insignificant ability, I am certain that I will become a stumbling block to the saintess rather than a shield. There’s no way the nun, not anyone else, would know that fact.”

”ha····.”

As if she wouldn’t listen any more, the nun put her hand between her furrowed eyebrows.

know. I know very well. There is nothing faster than dealing with someone who is constantly self-deprecating. But what can I do? If I don’t do this, I’ll bury my bones here. Physically, of course.

”All right. The priest’s resignation letter. Let me fix it.”

”There’s a saying in my country that eagles can’t catch flies. This means that each person has a job that suits their abilities… What do you mean…?”

”I said I would approve the priest’s retirement.”

”Hey… I, really…?”

”Yeah. It is the doctrine of our church that we do not reject those who come and do not hold back those who leave. It would be a great loss for us to lose such a valuable talent as the priest, but if the priest’s will is so firm, I have nothing more to say.”

I was dumbfounded by the attitude of the nun who was so cool.

Normally, I would have been arguing here for several tens of minutes longer, calling the other priests to get me to step down after crying and begging, but I would have thought that the nun would have accepted my request so easily.

They said that there is no tree that cannot be felled by taking ten shots, but my sincerity has finally reached the sky.

Controlling the overflowing emotions that surged from the inside of her chest with her breath, she expressed her gratitude to her benefactor who gave her the greatest grace in this life.

” Go, thank you! Sister!”

”You’re welcome. Oh, what can I do instead of that, but can I ask you one favor?”

”Yeah! Absolutely! It’s a request from the nun, not from anyone else! I’ll do anything within my power!”

”Then, please forward this letter to the post office on my behalf. By Griffin mail.”

”Yeah! All right! You mean Griffin Post!”

Even at a glance, the letters he had received on a whim before the nun changed her mind were luxurious items.

The material of the paper, offerings, perfume, all of them were high-end items used only when sending to people related to the royal family.

Moreover, since it was said that it had to be sent by Gryphon Mail, which is the fastest in the system, it was not difficult to guess that it was a letter for a very urgent business.

”It’s a very valuable letter, so you’ll need to take care of it. If, by any chance, you damage the letter, I will do nothing about the resignation of the exclusive guardian priest I just mentioned.”

”That, such an important letter… this might be related to the royal family…”

”Nope. It’s a letter about my personal business, which has nothing to do with the royal family.”

”Yes? What is that…”

Like the chill of a bitter winter’s day, the cool silence that passed between me and the nun stopped thinking for a very short time.

Before long, a calm voice, like a drop of water falling into a lake, seized my self-consciousness.

”An extremely personal message to send a list of the priest’s residence to a party of famous adventurers who are not aware of this system, who are desperately searching for the whereabouts of a priest who has suddenly become mysterious…”

”Filth is incineration—!!!”

It was a reflex action to protect my body. He hurriedly threw the letter in his hand toward the nearby fire.

Eagle Eagle. It didn’t take long for the letter to burn beyond recognition of its original form.

There was no doubt that my breathing had stopped during that moment when the white paper turned to black ashes.

That’s because the information that slipped from the nun’s mouth was shocking to me.

”Uh… how!”

”Since you burned the correspondence, I will do nothing about the resignation of the guardian priest as promised. Priest.”

”how! how the hell That…!”

”Or can I call you like this? I’m from the warrior party. Priest Rage’s Rowville.”
