Chapter 169

"..."

The Pope looked at my empty hand and didn't know what to say. Meanwhile, the 100-million-gold blind man Godori put on a show.

- Young lady, young lady, this Pope, I don't think he can see the priestly robes, he doesn't believe in God!

"Really?"

I stared at the Pope in surprise at Godori's proclamation. He flushed with embarrassment and quickly corrected himself.

"No, that's not what I meant. I was merely attempting to convey the ineffable beauty and splendor of the garment before me. Its radiance is blinding, its craftsmanship unparalleled. I swear upon the divine, I have never laid eyes on anything so exquisite."

He praised the robe with fervor, his words flowing eloquently. I listened attentively, then mimicked holding the robe before him and added a touch of whimsy to the conversation.

"Don't you agree? I had thought His Holiness would have the unique sight to perceive its beauty. The robe is so lightweight and comfortable, it almost feels as if you're wearing nothing at all."

"Hmm, I see."

"Would you like to try it on?"

"...It's a bit..."

- You need to try it on now so Godori can check your measurements! If it doesn't fit, I'll fix it right away!

The Pope's move to pull back was interrupted by Godori again.

At the crossroads of conflict, the Pope rolled his eyes as if he was embarrassed when he heard that the spirit would check the measurements himself.

Then, when he saw Godori sullen, saying, "I guess the Pope doesn't like Godori..." he shook his head hurriedly and said he would wear it.

"I'm sorry, but can the Duke help me with this?"

"Of course."

I unfolded the transparent cassock for the unclothed Pope, and his eyes widened in surprise when he realized that I was trying to put it on as he was.

"And you're going to put it on?"

"...So how do you-"

- You have to take your clothes off, so I can get the measurements right!

Godori exclaimed as he did as he was told, and the stern-faced pope looked at me with shaky eyes as if he had to, but I nodded firmly.

"If you're not comfortable with me, why don't you call someone else?"

"...That would be better."

With that, the difficult pope ushered three male priests who had been waiting outside inside.

The priests' eyes widened in confusion at the sight of the transparent robes, but when I told them that they were only visible to the eyes of men who believed in God, they commented that they were very nice robes and ushered me out.

A few moments later, the tightly closed door of the interview room opened again.

I could see the Pope standing there awkwardly in his boxers and Godori clapping and shouting Bravo.

- Bravo!!! Bravo!!! Bravo!!!

"They say the cassock is made of spirit thread, and it suits you handsomely."

"It fits like a glove."

"It's so dazzling, I can't take my eyes off it."
Both I and the assisting priests, who had played their part in the swift change, showered the Pope's underwear with enthusiastic praise, treating it as if it were a brand-new attire.
