The Baby Who Raised the Devil

My Fucked-up life (7)

“You can't go anywhere alone. You have no idea how worried I am.”

Lea said while looking pale from worry, grabbed onto my shoulder and warned me several times.

I didn't mean to, it was a little unfair, but I nodded and replied obediently, saying,

"I'm chatty."

"Never, never, never, be alone in the church, okay?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, then let's go inside."

Lea opened the car door.

People in hooded robes lined up in front of the church to greet us. A young man in the same robe came to me.

“It's nice to meet you, little lady. My name is Urso, I'm in charge of the third church in the northwest.”

"Hello."

“You must have trouble getting on the train until sunset. You can rest today, and tomorrow when the person from the central church arrives, we will check your holy power."

"Yes." Yeah."

Luckily, I didn't think I'd check it out today.

'Before that, I should be prepared to make some sort of mistake in the exam.'

Given what happened in the castle not too long ago, my holy power is at least similar to that of a priest under the direct control of the Pope.

'If this is known, they'll try to take me away.'

But it's been known to many people because of that incident, and I can't pretend to be a beggar like I used to.

So I should look as normal as possible. It is a good thing that my holy power has increased.

'The question is how to make mistakes in tests.'

Suddenly, Urso said,

"Let's go. We have prepared food.”

Urso walked in front and guided me.

The other people from Dubbled, who were accompanying me, looked around the interior of the church with a small cry. For beginners, it really is a miracle .

Ordinary people could enter the chapel built outside but access for people to come and see the church inside was very limited. That was because those who did not possess holy power were not allowed to enter.

'Oh, it's been a long time since I last came to this church.'

It felt so familiar because I almost came to live here in my second life.

The people from Dubbled were excited and whispered to each other.

"What do you eat at church?"

"I don't know, but we're gonna have something great."

“We can eat, right?”

“I'm sure because church teachings don't discriminate rank.”

I looked at them with a pitiful look.

'I don't think so…'

As expected, their hopes were shattered once they entered the dining room.

The meat and fish were full of foul smells.

'I know that.'

The church avoided murder.

'Don't eat what's bought, but eat what's dead naturally' that's the way they eat.

Therefore, one should not expect delicious food because the quality of the ingredients is the lowest.

"Come, sit."

Urso sat on the chair as I sat next to her.

“Before we start eating, let us all give a brief thanks to God for allowing us to eat.”

Soon, we all started eating.

“Ugh..”

The faces of the Dubbled servants, who were tasting the food, turned pale.

"I know, it's not good."

The reason why the servants felt so disgusted by the food provided by the church was because the duke was a lot of money and generous with his servant food.

I became so comfortable with the food provided there that I wondered if I could eat food here after all this time.

With a worried face, I took the fish soup with a spoon and sent it to my mouth.

'Huh?'

It's pretty good.

I was hungry and the food was good, so I finished a whole bowl of soup.

“Sounds like it. I'm happy."

Urso grinning.

***

On a very dark night.

Lea, who saw me asleep, left the room with an empty glass of water.

As soon as I heard the sound of the door closing, I opened my eyes.

[Are you going out? Didn't you promise not to be alone?]

'Now is the only time I can get a goddess tear for you.'

If Boone doesn't grant my request, then he won't leave. He will continue to suck up my holy power, and eventually I will become a madman.

[Son.].

Boone called me sadly.

'I'm sure there are many people who want your power!'

"But I don't miss anyone from the grave."

On the contrary, there was no one I could miss from the start.

[If I show up, I can protect you.]

'Really? Would you look like a human if you showed up?'

[Yes, and my strength will remain the same, but when I assume my true form, I can emit more power.]

'Why are you using your human form?'

[Most humans are so weak that they go crazy just by looking at the demon's true form. Usually the bodies of other demons were too terrifying for humans to see. But I look beautiful even in human eyes.]

He said with a huff.

Those words aroused my curiosity.

'Then show me.'

[Sure, but I have to withdraw your sacred power by 9 percent.].

I immediately corrected my words.

'In hindsight, I don't think I should see it.'

9%.

A large amount of my divine power is required to maintain its current form if it reaches nine percent, it will drive me crazy in less than half a day.

Carefully leaving the churchyard, I headed for the chapel.

During the meal earlier, I heard people say that the Goddess Tears, on display. But the chapel is guarded by many knights.

"Boone, please make sure they don't see me."

Soon, I made a barrier.

I was thinking, if I get caught, I should pretend to sleep while walking. But the knights did not pay attention to me.

'OK, it's a success.'

I saw a glass tube on the platform and ran. It was much higher than me, so I grabbed a corner and raised my head.

As I stuck my head out, I caught a glimpse of a beautiful sapphire under the moonlight.

'This is it?'

[Yes! Here comes!]

Boone exclaimed with great joy.

I rummaged through my pocket and pulled out the wire I had packed earlier. When I was a beggar, there was no place I could not get through with this thing.

'I have to unlock it first, and remove the protection.'

That was.

I heard the door open. I was so shocked that I immediately lowered myself to hide myself. I could see the wine-red pantofel shoes that high-ranking priests used to wear.

"I'm in big trouble."

Just because I put up a barrier doesn't mean everyone can't see me. Those with strong holy power could see the existence within the barrier. In other words, if they were high-ranking people in the church, they would most likely be able to catch my wet.

'Boones!'

[Yes, son.]

'Show as a human being.'

[Huh?]

'Please draw his attention so he doesn't notice me!'

A gust of wind blew through the window. I felt a cold wind gushing over my shoulder as the curtains fluttered wildly. Boone appears with the human body.

'Go now!'

If I get caught entering the chapel at this hour, I'll be locked up in jail.

If Boone gets caught, I have to bring him back. When I woke up, the other person's legs stopped.

But…

"Are you from Dorie Farm?"

Far from being surprised, he said strange things.

'Isn't that Urso's voice?'

He stepped up and stopped in front of Boone.

"You are the girl who deserves to be seen as I hear you."

It seems that Boone was mistaken for a very delicate and beautiful-looking girl.

That misunderstanding is very likely to happen in such a dark place.

I'd also mistake her for a girl if I hadn't seen that pillar of fire the other day.

“I've brought the money. If you let me down this time, your father's farm will be cut off today.”

Whahuh?

'You extort money from the residents, and you enjoy a life of luxury.'

If so, it is understandable how the church food is so delicious. Although they prepared it in a similar way to other church foods to show to the Dubbled people, it may have been mixed with Urso foods because it usually uses good ingredients. I looked up and peeked at Urso as she approached Boone and squeezed his hand. Later,

'Smoke!'

Suddenly, he grabbed Boone's ass and squeezed it.

“Your father must have been in desperate need of money because he sent you in a hurry when he said he couldn't do it before.”

There was a grin on his face.

Boone looked at Urso, who was rubbing the demon's butt.

Can someone assume Urso is unlucky or lucky to touch the devil's ass?

I'm so dumbfounded.

One thing's for sure, a madman is a pervert. Boone's gaze fell onto Urso's hand grasping her butt, and then a smile rose on her face.

"Why? Are you excited?”
