Cain couldn't believe his ears at the three positions of brave, holy knight and wise man.
　The brave man was Yuya, the first king of the first Esfort Kingdom and Cain's mentor. The other two were Cain's parents.

(Could it be that someone was summoned?　But there's no way to be summoned in the Byssus Empire: ....... (I'll have to check with Hinata once.)

Cain, what's up?

　Cain, who stood up vigorously, was approached by the king.

'No, brave men, holy knights and wise men should not appear ...... normally. Perhaps--'' Let me check once. Also, if those three are the opponents, I will go to the Kermes Beast Kingdom.

　Cain says emphatically, but the king shakes his head.

It is a rule from the first generation that minors are not allowed to serve in the military. "It is a rule from the first master that minors are not allowed to serve as soldiers. I don't care how strong you are.
'I won't be on the front lines. How about we focus on recovery magic?　Then there should be no danger.

　Duke Eric gives his advice. In fact, it is possible for Cain alone to wipe out the enemy forces, but if Cain stands in the front line and his position is discovered, it could lead to the opening of the war between the Byssus Empire and the Esfort Kingdom.
　The king was a little troubled by Duke Eric's words, but he reluctantly gave his permission.

''I understand. I'll call on several adventurers in addition to Cain. Of course, I'll include your surveillance as well. ...... I don't know what you might do if you leave me alone.

　Everyone laughs at the king's words. In fact, the things Cain has done are countless. If it's only within the country, but this time it will be in another country.

I understand. Then I'll make preparations on my end as well.''

　After some arrangements were made, Cain was dismissed and went straight back to the mansion once, and then changed his clothes.
　He needed to ask the Pope and Hinata about the treasure of the summoning. Cain's attire would not allow him to meet the Pope easily.
　In order to move around freely in the Marineford cult, he wore a white robe and a mask.

'You will be able to move freely in this outfit.

　A neutral voice echoes through the room.
　If I didn't use my position as an apostle of God, I wouldn't be able to walk around the church headquarters freely and I would be chased by the church knights, it's obvious.
　That's why he tried to use his position to meet with the Pope and the saintly Hinata.

　The place where Cain had transitioned to was very close to the church headquarters.
　He could actually transition directly to Hinata's room, and although Hinata would not say anything, he decided to go there proudly as an apostle of God.
　The church knights guarding the entrance to Cain, who was wearing a robe up to his head and a mask, were tense.

'Suspicious bastard!　I can't let you through without a permit down the road.

　The other church knight controls the church knight with his hand on the hilt of the sword hanging on his hip.

''Could it be ...... and are you an apostle ......?''

　To the nervous knight, Cain gave a small nod at his words.

''After all, please wait a moment!　We'll get you there as soon as we can. Hey, no disrespect!　He's an apostle!
'What?　Apostle!

　One of the guards ran into the church.
　Soon one of the priests came outside to greet him.

'Welcome, Apostle, welcome. Both the Pope and the saints are here and we will show you around.
...... helpful.

　A voice emanating from Cain caused the knight to stand upright and watch Cain walk inside.

　When the church members see Cain walking after the priest, they all kneel down, bow their heads and begin to pray with their hands folded in prayer when they see Cain.
　Cain pulls a face at the sight, but he walks slowly after the priest, realizing that his current position is that of an apostle of God.

'I have run a message to the Pope and the saints ahead of time. We will meet you in the Pope's room.

　It was easier than he thought it would be, but on the contrary, Cain was worried.
　He wondered if he could let a suspicious man in a slightly luxurious robe and mask pass so easily.

'You don't suspect that he's not an apostle?'

　The priest guiding Cain's words turned around and gave him a big smile.

'I can immediately recognize you, Apostle. I can see what could be called divine energy overflowing from the robe. And I was there at the time of the election of the Pope.
...... I see, thank you.
'No, it is my pleasure to speak with the Apostle. Since I became the current Pope, the Church has become more open to me. ...... We owe this to the Apostle.

　Once his head is bowed, the priest begins to walk forward.
　Cain slowly follows him. The priest stops in front of a luxurious door on the top floor up some stairs.

'This way, sir. Please wait a moment.

　The priest knocked on the door and told him that the apostle had come, and it was opened vigorously.

'Long time no see!　Apostle!

　Pope Denter hugged Cain vigorously.

''What?''

　A voice comes from behind Pope Denter, who smiles and hugs the surprised Cain.

''Pope, it's rude to the Apostle if you do that. Apostle-sama, it's been a while.''
Oh. That's right. Apostle, I'm sorry.

　Pulling away from Cain, Cardinal Denter scratches his head and bows his head lightly.

'No, no, I was just a little surprised. ......
I did.

　Hinata also hugged Cain as he moved away from Pope Denter.

''What?''

　The priest, stunned by the three men's actions, bowed his head back when Pope Denter called out to him, "You may step back," he said.

'Look, Hinata. You shouldn't hug me in this hallway. Why don't you take your time later?

　Even Hinata, whose cheeks were slightly red, left Cain with a regretful smile.

''Sorry about the ....... Now, come on in.

　Cain enters the room at Hinata's urging. There were only two people in the room, Pope Denter and Hinata, and Cain sat down in an empty seat.

'So what's going on here all of a sudden?　Well, that (...) thing, I suppose, is ......

　Pope Denter speaks as if he is aware of something.

''Actually, the Byssus Empire has invaded the Kermes Beast Kingdom. So, a brave man, a holy knight, and a wise man appeared there. However, the summoning jewels should be in the treasury of this Marineford Church Kingdom. ...... So I wanted to ask you.
I knew it. It has already been brought up in our country. That's why I hurriedly searched the treasure room. ...... The treasury was ransacked during the assassination of the former Pope, and one of the treasures that died was the Summoning Jewels.

　Cain raised an eyebrow at Cardinal Denter's answer.
