"May I ask you a favor, Mr. Ars Varka?　Will you really save us all?"

"......Saving," is a difficult question to define. Yes, it is. Then we have an agreement to cooperate with you. Here is what I would like to ask of you, saint. First of all, I, Ars Varka, as a Blue Saint, ask you to send a request for help to me. And from now on, I would like you to cooperate with me in guiding this land. Then I will be able to exert my influence in this area.

"Now, I would like to make the following request to Mr. Ars Varka. One, to rebuild the Holy City. Two, that the land of the dead be restored to its former fertility. Three, that the children, nay, all the poor, be given a helping hand.

"Okay. I understand that you want to rebuild the Holy City, restore the power of the land, and solve the problem of poverty. However, my brother, Kyle Reed, will do the actual work through me. Therefore, I would like to add one more thing and ask that you work with Kyle as well."

"Okay. Then we will acknowledge that in writing. We will honor our prior agreements with each other, and anyone who breaks them will be held criminally liable for any transgression. Is that clear?"

　He did not grow the dangerous plant called "salt grass" on his own, but only tried to take advantage of the situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It sprouted on its own from a seed stored in the basement of the Holy City, and he tried to make use of it.

　But he was not simply a good person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe he was thinking of using it as a drug, even though he denied it with his mouth.

　Maybe he had already refined it and sold it as a medicine somewhere.

　After all, if they were going to rebuild the Holy City, they would need a lot of money.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No matter how popular they are among the people, it would be difficult for them to get that much financial power when they are operating far from the church headquarters in the north.

　Perhaps this saint has the sincerity to mix the good with the bad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She is determined to achieve her goal even if she has to do dirty things behind the scenes.

　By the way, I'm probably the reason this saint has no money.

　I put some conditions on it.

　Along with the interest rate and the repayment period, some conditions were added to the use of the money.

　The headquarters of the church was to be located in Fontana.

　And that the site of the Holy City would not be restored.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At that time, we could not afford to touch the distant site of the Holy City, a land outside of the country.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Moreover, we did not want to create a powerful organization outside the Kingdom of Fontana.

　For this reason, I asked them to basically use the loan money for domestic use first.

　But perhaps there is another side to her.

　Ambition.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If she really needed it, she could have gone to Pope Paul and asked him for money.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or, you could have approached me and the Fontana family through Pope Paul and asked for the restoration of the Holy City, and we could have negotiated with them to give you the money.

　Yet, they remained near the site of the Holy City, ignoring Pope Paul's request.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And his main goal is the restoration of the Holy City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, she has the greatest wish, though she did not tell me directly.

　The Blue Saint Mirialia wants to be Pope.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Probably because she is proud of being called the next Pope.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps it is her pride, consciously or unconsciously.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She felt that she was the right person to be the Pope, the head of the Church.

　Maybe they could not accept Pope Paul.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is why he did not accept Pope Paul's request, but stayed in the south to restore the Holy City on his own.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When the restoration was realized, he wanted to say that he was the one who had restored the Holy City to the Church and that he was the right person to be the Pope.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I believe that this is the reason why he was working here, even engaging in dangerous acts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But now the road to achieving that ambition is cut off before my eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The site of the Holy City, a sacred place for churchmen, is being plundered into the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You cannot refuse to deal with me here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because it means that they will never be able to touch the only thing left to make their wish come true: the Holy City itself.

　I was profiling Mirialia this way while I was talking to her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If this is the case, she might be willing to listen to my request even if I am rather aggressive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She might give the administration of the Holy City to Mirialia instead of Pope Paul after the restoration of the Holy City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We should whisper like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then they will be more willing to cooperate with me, relying on that little bit of hope.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, even if not, it would be good to get along with the church leaders.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
