The Pope slowly turns his gaze toward May. May meets the Pope's eyes, as if she were catching his gaze. Invisible sparks are flying between the two of them. After a while, May takes her eyes off the Pope and looks around the cathedral slowly, and then she sees Glarina crying in front of her.

"Miss Gralina! I ask you once again. I am sure that what you presented in the Sanctuary was done according to the results of your experiment, is that correct?"

Glarina nods silently.

"Lady May, you said her presentation was not credible..."

"Please be quiet. It's okay. I'll take care of it, Mr. Roni.

Loni, who was about to interject, froze for a moment and then slowly sat down. After confirming this, May turned her attention to the Pope again.

"Pope, she says that she has, indeed, presented the results of the experiment to the Sanctuary.

The Pope's eyes widen for a moment and he lets out a sigh.

"So, the content of the letter was uncertain, was it not? By publishing this inaccurate information, Msgr. Gralina has caused confusion throughout the world, including our own Church of Crimiana. She must be held accountable for that, mustn't she?"

"Pope, you are jumping the gun. She's just a researcher. What was the person in charge of reviewing and guiding her presentation doing? And Sanctuary, which published the content. Why didn't the editors of Sanctuary confirm it? And the current situation, where certain beastmen are being driven out of the country and sheep-beastmen are being held captive, could not have been created by her."

The audience was in an uproar. However, May did not let this bother her and continued speaking.

"In short, I believe that this issue is solely the responsibility of Ms. Gralina. In addition, I believe that it is a problem caused by people who have no malicious intent.

"The one without malice?"

The Pope speaks out involuntarily. May looks at the Pope and nods slowly.

"The logic of the Institute of Medicine of the Crimiana Patriarchate, published in Sanctuary, is perfect. I read it too, and at once I was convinced. There was no malice or atmosphere of falsification in the content of the article. Moreover, it was approved by Director Imani and Deputy Director Dalina, who are considered to be the best in the world. In particular, Professor Imani's achievements and his personality were well known to everyone. I think that's why the people who read it, including myself, believed in the article published in Sanctuary.

The noisy room gradually became quiet again. May looked around the venue and continued to speak.

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

"No one involved in this presentation, including Dr. Gralina, had any intention to falsify the results of the experiment. Ms. Gralina did not do the experiment with malicious intent. It just happened to work in one experiment. I believe that Ms. Gralina was surprised by this fact. Although the results of Ms. Gralina's experiment are unreliable, it cannot be said that she intentionally and maliciously falsified the results of her experiment. I think that this problem was caused by a small coincidence."

"So you are saying that Queen Agartha has no one to blame for this problem? I don't think that's a theory that would pass muster under social conventions."

The Pope asks May in a dignified voice. You're not asking me to take responsibility, are you? The atmosphere is almost as if to say, "I'm not going to do it.

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

"Now, I am not discussing the responsibility. I am discussing the causes of this situation. The main cause of this problem is that no one saw the experiment conducted by Mr. Gralina. I think that this, this one very important thing, this one very important thing, was the only thing that was missed."

The Pope's face is frozen. May continues.

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

"I also think there was a problem with the sanctuary. I think they believed it unconditionally because of the names of Dr. Imani and Dr. Darina. Once the experiment was replicated in other institutions, this could not have happened. I think this is something we should reflect on very much."

Once again, there is a buzz in the hall. The most authoritative medical book of the day is outright condemned. No wonder the researchers were puzzled.

"So, what does Queen Agartha want us to do?

The Pope asks May with a half-amused look on his face. In his heart, he had no idea what May was thinking, since he had thought that punishing Glarina and Dalina would solve everything. In his mind, however, he expected that she would make a politically unacceptable proposal and become a laughingstock. May's story, however, was far from what Pope had expected.

"This whole matter has played into Ms. Gralina's hands," May said. Therefore, we cannot say that Cirithrae, Geisscher, and Leroyance infect humans through the bodily fluids of certain beasts, and that their special remedies are made using their bile. Since the phenomenon happened in front of only one person in the world, Mr. Gralina, it cannot be a truth for everyone, but it cannot be said that it does not happen at all."

May slowly looks around the hall and then opens her mouth.

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

"I believe that the research on the transmission of Cirithulei, Geisscher and Leroyance and the research on their specific remedies should be carried out in cooperation and collaboration with the countries that have participated and wish to participate in this project."

The cathedral is as silent as if it had been drowned. Then, as if to break the silence, a small round of applause echoes through the cathedral. It was Rinos doing it. The applause gradually spread, and soon the cathedral was filled with loud applause.

May put her hand on Glarina's shoulder. She seemed to be unable to hold back her tears and shed tears streaming down her cheeks.

"I understand what you say, Queen Agartha.

The Pope's voice rings out. The cathedral is once again silent.

"Then who will be responsible for this problem? Director Imani has collapsed. Then the deputy director..."

Dalina looks up with a start and sees the Pope with a fearful look on his face.

"It must be the guidance of the Lady Klimiana," he said.

Suddenly Linos speaks up. Everyone looks at him in surprise.

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

"I am sure that the Lady Klimiana has instructed us all to investigate the cause of this disease. That would explain it, wouldn't it?"

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

Linos tilts his head adorably and looks at the Pope.

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

"King Agartha, what do you mean?"

"I dare say that Lady Klimiana has guided Glarina's experiment to be a one-time success. Not a complete solution, but a hint of a solution. Some of the devout followers of the teachings of the Lady Crimiana, who are not toshishinos...but devout followers of the teachings of the Lady Crimiana, acted quickly and blithely. But that was not what Lord Klimiana had intended. That is why the messenger of the Church stood before me in my dream and ordered me not to let the messenger of the Church leave the port of Garbee.

The audience, the faithful of the Krimyana religion, is murmuring. Linos gave them a glance and continued his speech.

"My wife Meirias, whether she knows it or not, has conducted an experiment and has come to the conclusion that the results published by the Church are not true. Furthermore, he found a clue in the logic presented by the Church. Finally, he suggested that we all work together to solve the problem of this disease. Wasn't this exactly what Ms. Klimiana wanted? That would explain why you stood at my bedside in my dream. Yes, it does. Yes, it does.

Linos nodded in agreement, alone, with his right hand on his chin.

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

"Well done, Lord Meirias. That is exactly what King Agartha said, and that is exactly what Lady Klimiana wants to do. You have taken her will into consideration. Excellent, indeed, Meirias-sama!

Vilas stands up. He claps loudly as he stands up. As if in response, the delegates sitting around him stood up and applauded. About half of the delegation in the cathedral joined in the applause.

Interrupting the Pope's words, it was Nike of Sandanzi who stood up and shouted loudly.

"This time, each country was in charge of the experiment. I agree that in the future, various countries should get together to discuss and conduct experiments in order to eradicate incurable diseases such as Cirithrae. I hope that our country will be added to this list!"

"Thank you, Mr. Nike. But do we need to get permission from your country?

"King Agartha, I am the king of Sandanj. I do not know what the system is like in your country, but in ours, the king's orders are absolute. My words are to be carried out as the policy of my kingdom.

"What? Seriously? Oh... I see... I know.... I'm relieved to hear that."

Linos replies with a giddy response. Then he turned around and opened his mouth to the Pope.

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

Pope, this is the guidance of the Lady Klimiana. It's all right, isn't it?

The Pope stares at Linos' face. Then he stands up slowly, his face expressionless.

"The rest is up to you."

With his usual soft smile, the Pope left his seat. The cardinals followed him.

"Your Holiness the Pope!"

"Are you sure you want to leave it there?

The Pope returned to the anteroom with a gait as if he had not heard the cardinal's words. Then he opens his mouth to the cardinals standing in line.

It is the guidance of the Cardinal. I will be happy to give her a boost.

"Cardinal Juzen, don't get so excited. I know how you feel. Yes, I know exactly how you feel. We have served you better than anyone else. Yes... We have to think of a way to repay her will. Please think of a plan. I beg you."

The cardinals, having taken in all the pope's intentions, left one by one. The Pope, now alone in the anteroom, muttered to himself.

"The guidance of the Holy Father.... What kind of a mouth says that...? The boy and the girl are getting carried away... You are the big bad ones who speak in the name of Lord Krimeana..."

There was no Pope with his usual mild countenance, but an old man with a deep furrow between his brows and a wide-eyed, ugly look on his face.

I don't know him. He does not know that the minutes of the Inquisition, prepared by Linos, have been copied by the people at large. And that the minutes of this day were destined to be read by the people in time to come. And that the people who read them will call Meirias "saint" in the future...

The cathedral in the center of Aphrodite, the capital of the Crimiana cult, was beginning to be covered by a thick cloud.
