Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 141: Going Home (1)

It was the same day as per usual.

Of course, this was not the case for the others. After all, one of the largest guilds within Celia had disappeared instantly, so I knew that the possibility of an uproar was probable.

The Lindel Daily had also been diligent with dealing with the story, so wherever one would go, the topic of discussion would be about Ito Souta and the Yamato Guild. All the members of the Yamato Guild had also been executed the same day Ito Souta had died.

The Pope's personnel, joined by the Yozora, Black Swan, and Red Mercenary Guild, had done their job, and the whole of Celia simply watched them do so. Of course, not everyone died.

Those who thought that there was room for extenuation had their lives spared, but these were a sparse few. Most of the members dedicated to Ito Souta ended up dying.

It was quite a disastrous result, simply for taking the wrong side.

'Tut-tut...'

I wasn't able to witness the scene myself, and therefore did not know the exact situation. However, I knew this had put me at an advantageous position. I could build up both mine and Cha Hee-ra's reputation, slightly crumpled from the Lindel terrorist incident, and also gain power by chumming up to the Pope's members.

The alliance between our three guilds and the Yozora Guild had also been a great achievement. This had created great repercussions within the Holy Empire, and everyone had to admit that this was the first time that this had ever happened.

Though the two Free Cities maintained a comfortable relationship, this was the first time that there had ever been such a close alliance. This showed quite the beautiful image, of guilds from two different cities yielding to one another.

Of course, this had not been the only case to happen.

"T-Then, will you become a priest?"

"Probably. Who knows?"

There was also the case of a freeman earning an official title granted by the Pope. That freeman was, of course, me.

'Ah, how beautiful.'

I knew gaining a position was a good possibility, but I never thought I'd achieve a position better than what I had initially thought. Being granted the title of Honorary Bishop, which was considered to be of the same ranking as that of the Archbishop, felt quite excessive for me.

If one were to compare this position to the positions within a royal family, would be of the same power as a count.

I would be well-treated no matter which church I would go to, for I was now known as the Benigore Goddess' Honorary Bishop, a god that was considered one of the best among the few gods that did exist within this world.

It felt amazing, just thinking about it.

As I came to my senses after a while, however, I noticed Jung Hayan's pale, worried face. I felt like I knew what she had been worried about, and it would only be right for me to clarify things before the problem could get bigger.

"You don't have to worry. It's just an honorary position... It doesn't come with any responsibility, only rights. I don't have to attend prayer meetings, and I don't have to answer to the Pope."

"Ah..."

"Of course, marriage and dating are also possible."

"Ah!!!"

As expected, it seemed that this was the problem. This had been Jung Hayan's concern.

Unlike the Free City priests, marriage was taboo for those who served the Benigore's Goddess. However, this didn't seem to apply to the Honorary Bishop of the Free People.
