304 – INDUSTRY BABY (4)
‘No, you really plan to pull out the holy sword…?’
Isabella asked back with a surprised expression.
“I got lucky. “The only way that came to mind was to pull out the holy sword.”
“I think so too. “No matter how high up the church you are, if you draw the holy sword, you won’t be able to harm me carelessly.”
Theo’s eyes were straight and unwavering.
Isabella sighed inwardly.
‘No matter how unpredictable Theo is, I don’t think he can pull out the holy sword. What kind of thing is that?’
Isabella cautiously opened her mouth.
“I’m not ignoring you, Theo, but… No one has been able to select the Holy Sword since the hero Ryuk. Both the warriors and the paladin called Nandagin failed.”
“I know so. “The owners of the Balderk family also tried it, but they all failed.”
All of the previous Balderk family heads were top-tier warriors.
“······Yes. I couldn’t select everyone other than the warrior. Even past popes have all failed.”
Theo responded without changing his expression.
“I see. “I didn’t know that previous popes also challenged it.”
Isabella couldn’t bear to see that and let out a long sigh.
“······Haaa. Theo. “Don’t you know what I want to say?”
“Since I won’t be able to pull out the Holy Sword, aren’t you telling me to dispose of the Light Acolytes and make a false report to the highest level of the Church? “That way, I will escape the threat from the top echelons of the church.”
As if Isabella had hit the nail on the head, she bit her mouth.
“······I know exactly. That’s right. Why don’t you do as I say? The top guys are scarier than you think. “With a single finger, we have the ability to turn a small country into ruins overnight.”
Theo did not give any answer. He stared at Isabella in silence and then spoke.
“I have something profound to confess.”
“······Uh, huh?”
“I had the ability to see the future. It was far superior to the prophetic ability of the current Pope. “The Pope sees a random future, but I was able to see the future I wanted.”
Isabella said hesitantly.
“I didn’t know you had that kind of ability. Of course, Theo, even if you had such ridiculous abilities, it doesn’t feel like an absurdity. .·····But why is that?”
“I saw it. “A future where I draw the holy sword.”
Isabella opened her eyes wide as if she found it hard to believe.
Theo’s words were not bravado. It was true. He met the conditions to draw the Holy Sword by joining Fiat.
‘The holy sword can be drawn if you have two sacred items on your person.’
In other words, Theo has [Demon Sword] And Fiat has [Eater]. Since there are two, you can pull out the holy sword.
[Eater] Had the tendency to choose its own owner, but it didn’t matter. As long as you keep it on your body, the conditions are met. When Fiat was in surgery, I briefly held [Eater] In my hand and it held up well.
Of course, unlike [Eater], Where the person who draws the holy sword is the owner, pulling it out does not mean it becomes your property.
However, the fact that it was selected is itself important. In the current era, the Holy Sword is closer to the image of a relic from the past, but it is a treasure among treasures that symbolizes the Renimid Church.
It is enough to instill in the public the perception that they were chosen by the Holy Sword.
Isabella spoke carefully.
“Honestly, it’s hard to believe, but… I’ll believe it. “Then what are you going to do after taking out the holy sword?”
“If I pull out the Holy Sword, the highest levels of the church will most likely approach me. “We will search for rotten branches among them and cut them off.”
“All the top guys I know are rotten. What specifically does the rotten branch mean?”
“Currently, there is a force at the top of the church that has a close relationship with [Turning White]. “They pretend to worship angels on the outside, but actually worship the devil.”
“······That’s a bit shocking. “After we cut out the forces that are inside, we will fight [Turning White] With all the power of the church.”
“If you look at the big picture, yes. “The enemy inside is many times more dangerous than the enemy outside.”
“That’s true…”
After chanting like that, Isabella closed her mouth. She felt dizzy as she was exposed to a lot of information at once.
Theo said.
“Then, back to the original story. “Is there no way to return the practitioners of light to their original state?”
“······I don’t think there is any way to turn it back in the short term. If they come into contact with gigantic demonic energy in the [Liberated] State, there is a high possibility that they are already on the border between humans and monsters. “I heard you’re still alive even after all your limbs have been cut off?”
“Yes. “Even though I haven’t eaten anything for several days, I’m in good spirits.”
“Hmm… As of now, the only way I can think of is to isolate the demonic energy in a space where it is completely blocked, and then continuously inject it with high-quality divine power. “I guess I should see it for myself at least once.”
“Before I go, I’ll tell you to clean up everyone.”
Theo took out the communication crystal ball from his pocket.
Isabella asked.
“······As expected, the story is fast. “Anyway, is there someone who can inject you with divine power?”
Theo answered as if it were obvious.
“No.”
“······Huh?”
“You have a senior, right? “Of all the people I know, there is no one with higher quality divine power than my senior.”
It meant that he would treat Isabella for free.
But for some reason she didn’t feel bad.
“······Okay, I’ll help you.”
“Thank you.”
So Theo and Isabella headed to the basement of [The Hilte], Where the practitioners of light were quarantined.
* * *
Theo was able to arrive in front of Eisha’s dormitory well after midnight.
‘Ah, I’m tired.’
Infusing divine power into the practitioners of light was quite a labor-intensive task.
They kept refusing to accept the divine power and threw themselves away, so Theo had to hold them back while Isabella was injecting them with the divine power.
Fortunately, Isabella said she would continue to help. So Theo plans to head to [The Hilte] With Isabella every night for the time being.
‘Anyway, I guess I’ll just take a break.’
Theo knocked on the door.
‘It’s later than I thought. ‘I think Eisha is sleeping.’
Contrary to his thoughts, the door opened quickly.
Isha peeked out her face through the crack in the door. She then spoke in a low voice.
“Come in, quickly.”
Theo quickly came inside.
As Isha closed her door, Theo spoke to her.
“Are you still asleep?”
“······Because the person who said it wouldn’t be too late didn’t come back even after midnight. “I was going to wait 5 more minutes and then call you.”
“I apologize. “Has anything happened so far?”
“Something special happened… Should I like it or not… I can speak easily now…”
“What’s going on?”
Isha pointed with her finger into her room.
“······Look over there.”
Inside the room, a robot was lying on its stomach on the floor with no expression. The robot was drawing with colored pencils in a sketchbook, and its drawing skills were quite impressive.
‘That’s beyond the art entrance exam level.’
Theo said to Eisha.
“Did socialization education take place through pictures? That’s a pretty reasonable method. “She doesn’t know much, but she heard there’s also something called art psychotherapy.”
“······It’s a joke, right?”
“I’m serious.”
“Aichaam, how horrified I was.”
“Speak slowly.”
“Um… Eo seemed too negative, so we wanted to draw a picture together?”
“I think I was coloring rather than drawing. And who is Eo?”
It seemed as if Isha had caught her off guard, and she threw a tantrum.
“It’s not a coloring game! It’s about drawing! “I’m not even a child, so why would I play coloring games?!”
“Yes, yes. “Calm down.”
“······Phew. Anyway, Eo is his name. Shouldn’t it have a name? “You can’t keep calling it a robot.”
“That’s an unusual name. Once you hear it, you won’t forget it. But why come to Eo?”
“I got inspiration from my name and Theo’s name.”
Oh.
The name is derived from the ‘E’ of Eisha and the ‘O’ of Theo.
Theo recognized that fact immediately.
‘It’s childish, but… I can’t help it.’
Theo reluctantly nodded his head.
“Okay, let’s call him Eo from now on. “Anyway, what’s going on?”
“······Eo drew a picture of that quality in less than an hour.”
“Hmm, you drew it well.”
“I’m scared. “Isn’t that something beyond genius?”
“You have to have that level of learning ability to make a profit. “You’re eating away at the magic stone so much…”
Theo stopped what he was saying and looked at Eo, who had suddenly approached him.
“What’s going on?”
Eo unfolded the picture he had drawn towards Theo.
Then she smiled brightly and said.
“This is a picture I drew. Did you draw it well? “Praise me, Theo.”
“Oh… Dad?”
Theo opened his mouth wide. It looked very classy.
