Tensei Kizoku no Isekai Boukenroku ~ Jichou wo Shiranai Kamigami no Shito ~ The Rebirth of the Reincarnated Nobility - Chapter 23
In the Great Temple, where Cain had disappeared after completing his role as God’s Apostle, confusion continued to reign.
There were many who could not understand whether what was happening now was a dream or reality, and the place was filled with clamor.
“Please listen to me.”
Hinata’s dignified voice echoed through the Great Temple, and the conversations came to a halt.
Everyone’s gaze turned to Hinata alone.
“God’s Apostle, have delivered the words of the gods. As a saint, I would like Cardinal Dentar to be the next Pope as per the word of the gods.”
No one complained about Hinata’s opinion. Even those who were under Cardinal Bangura’s command had the head of their faction captured in front of them.
There are many people who belong to the faction but have not forgotten their faith in God.
They had been made aware that going against the words of the saints was synonymous with going against the words of the gods.
“I see no objection to that. Then let the new Pope Denther have his word.”
Pope Denther put on the robe he had received. It was a more luxurious and elegant robe than the one worn by the previous Pope.
He took a deep breath while checking the comfort of the robe before stepping forward.
“I am Dentar, the new Pope. I don’t care about the coiled rivalries of the factions I’ve belonged to. I can assure you that I will not make any unreasonable appointments because of that. The Marineford religion is said to be the only one in this world. This is because there is actually a God. You saw it earlier. The appearance of God’s Apostle is also a sign that this Marineford Faith must come together.”
Pope Dentar slowly looks around at those in attendance and continues his words.
“However, in this papal election, there are those who have been involved in the murder of bishops and priests who were sent to other countries, posing as church officials or bandits. In addition to that, some of the merchants, who were the key to the distribution of goods, were also involved. Those people need to be punished severely.”
Most of them were surprised by Pope Dentar’s words, but there were a few whose faces turned pale. They were terrified that if their involvement was discovered, they would be captured.
Having made his point, Pope Dentar looked at the moderator and nodded.
The moderator, who had been hiding at the edge, took a deep breath and stepped forward.
“Er, er, er, so we have a new Pope as well. It’s hard to believe, but there have been so many unspeakable things that the Apostle of God has shown up and then we get to see the gods. As soon as the formalities are completed, the nations will be notified. With that, I will close the meeting.”
The Pope’s election came to an end with the words of the moderator.
◇ ◇.
“I would like to thank you, Cain-sama and Hinata-sama, more than I can put into words. Thank you very much.”
Cain and Hinata sat next to each other, and Pope Dentor, the new Pope of Bishop Harnham, sat down.
Pope Denther bowed deeply to Cain.
“Don’t worry about it. I’m sure we’ve been reckless in our efforts to do God’s will. By the way, your new costume is magnificent.”
“It’s true. I never expected to receive such wonderful clothes. I immediately prayed a word of thanks to the Seven Pillars.”
The papal election was over, and Pope Dentor, the new pope, gave thanks before the seven pillars.
He had been at an absolute disadvantage, but with the help of Hinata and Cain, he was able to become the new Pope. He repeatedly thanked the gods for their gratitude, which he could not thank enough.
“That’s more of a start, isn’t it? We have to fill in the cardinals, and we have to find out who was involved in the attack. I know it’s a lot of work, but good luck.”
“I would like to make a decision on the new cardinal based on personality and faction. From our faction, I’d like Harnum to do it if possible. ……”
“I won’t do it, okay? I’m going to bury my bones in the Kingdom of Esfort. Hearing Master Cain’s exploits is what I’m looking forward to the most right now.”
“That’s not fair. I also want to see Cain-sama’s activities nearby. I’m also going to the Esfort Kingdom.”
When Harnum’s words made even Hinata want to go to the Esfort Kingdom, Cain laughed.
“Since this is the most important time of the year, would Hinata be willing to help Pope Dentar? We’ve already made it to this place, so the next time we can come here quickly with magic.”
“Really? You’ll come to see me every day?”
“…… I’m afraid that’s not possible. ……”
Cain thought it would be nice if there was a way to travel this distance.
“Oh, if I could, I could ……. Give me a minute.”
Cain stood up and cast Creation Creation Make. It took all of his magic power at once, but he gritted his teeth and continued to channel it.
The magic power colored the shape and the result was two figures.
“I think this will be fine. ……”
“What the hell is this ……?”
The three of them tilted their heads at the two figureheads.
“Well, I guess it’s better to let them see than to explain.”
Cain placed his palm on one of the figures and let the magic flow through it.
The magic flowing through the image, which should have been a reflection of Cain, instantly turns black.
“You’ll see.”
Cain presses his hand directly against the figure, and somehow it is swallowed. Without any resistance, Cain’s body was swallowed by the figurehead.
Then Cain’s figure appears from the other figurehead.
“What do you think? It’s a transfer magic using a figure. If you keep one in the Kingdom of Esfort, Hinata will be able to come to you as soon as something happens.”
Cain smiled as he stroked the figure, but all three of them were speechless. None of them had thought of transfer magic using tools.
It was something that Cain had come up with thanks to his knowledge of anime from his previous life, but it was definitely something foreign to this world.
“…… This is ……. I can’t believe how easy it is to create something like this. It’s because you’re God’s Apostle, after all. ……”
“With this, I can visit Master Cain every day, right?”
Compared to the impressed Pope Dentar, Hinata revealed her joy.
Cain laughs at Hinata’s words, ‘every day’.
However, Bishop Harnum had a different idea.
“When I return to my country, I have to report to His Majesty …….”
Bishop Harnham’s words made Cain’s eyes widen and he sighed loudly that he had failed.
