How the Reincarnation Seat Destroys the Original - Chapter 83

Episode 83. Invitation to the Temple (1).

Kael, who returned from the Black Forest, was really busy dealing with the piled up paperwork.

Although Hugo did handle a fair amount of paperwork, the amount he could handle was limited, and naturally, the piled up paperwork ended up falling on Kael.

After the disaster, sales at the top of Damie, which were expected to gradually decrease, remained high, and Kael, who was trapped under a mountain of documents, was lying face down at the desk in his office.

“Master, I brought you the coffee you asked for.”

Feeling sorry for his master, Hugo placed a teapot full of coffee and a glass filled with ice on the desk.

“Would you like to hear the report regarding Miss Mabel later?”

Hugo continued speaking, and Kael, who had been lying down, raised his upper body while staggering. The coffee in the teapot was poured into a glass with ice, and he emptied the coffee in one go and filled the empty glass again, speaking.

“say.”

“Miss Mabel asked for a separate room for Haneul and Norang, who she brought with her. She wanted them to have a bed and decorate the room prettier than the other guests’ rooms, since there are only two of them.”

Laina and Raisa, who came from the Black Forest to Damier’s household, were Mabel’s pets and were together here under the names Sky and Yellow.

It seemed like they were staying together in Mabel’s room for a while… but it seemed like they both needed a room to rest.

“Do as you wish. There will be plenty of empty rooms anyway, right? Mabel seems to think of them as people, so it would be a good idea to combine them with the room next door to create a double room.”

Hugo nodded as if he agreed with Kael’s words.

?Heaven! Yellow! Want to try this too? It’s made by Shabbat, and it’s also delicious!?

My lady took care of the pet she brought home just like a person.

It was still famous among the servants that she was trying to share the food that was supposed to be her share, and even dessert, without hesitation, and the maids around her had a hard time trying to stop her, saying that she shouldn’t give that kind of food to dogs and cats.

“Can we proceed with the construction in the room next to Miss Mabel?”

“Yes. And those two don’t eat regular food. They seem to prefer food like ours.”

“But wouldn’t it be bad for animals to eat human food?”

“There were no problems while we were at the villa. If you don’t mind any food, wouldn’t it be better to give them their favorite food?”

Even now, Sky and Yellow… No, Lina and Raisa, who are actually dark elves, are in the form of animals, but with Mabel’s help, they are eating food from a menu that is no different from that of humans.

The pets were coming to me every day to complain, saying they couldn’t get used to the food bowls they used.

Especially, Lisa.

?No matter how much we look like animals, we’re not really animals?! Of course, the food tastes better than when we were in the Black Forest! It tastes incredibly good! I want to eat the dessert that Mabel eats too!?

Late at night, while I was processing paperwork, he would suddenly come to me with Lina and start complaining like that.

It is unknown what on earth she ate while living in the Black Forest, but Lisa’s love of food was not just obsession, but bordering on madness.

When the servants of the Damier family took away the food that Mabel had been offering, saying that it was not good for animals, their complaints would reach the heavens and pierce the universe that may or may not exist in this world.

Even Lina, who I thought was somewhat rational, didn’t stop me, so it seemed like she also had a desire for food, although she didn’t express it as actively as Lisa… .

“That’s true. Instead, how about calling in a veterinarian who specializes in small animals for regular checkups?”

“Let’s… put that on hold.”

Kael felt Hugo’s curious gaze, but he ignored it.

As a doctor specializing in small animals, I wonder if they were ordinary cats or dogs. They are no different now, except that they have a slightly unusual appearance due to their smaller size. Their original forms were caracals and wolves, which are ferocious beasts.

I could just ignore that gaze, but if I knew that it was an animal closer to a beast than a small animal, it was obvious that the aftermath would bother me.

“Anything else to report?”

“Ah, I sent an invitation to the master and Miss Mabel from the temple.”

An invitation was sent from the temple.

At those words, Kael was at a loss for words for a moment.

Reports were usually made in order of priority. That meant that Hugo prioritized Mabel’s “Make a room for my pets!” over the invitation from the temple.

“… Alright. If you’re here now, it must be because of ‘The Day of Beginnings.’ Burn it.”

The first day.

The Creator who created all things.

It was the day when the God who was simply called the Creator, without even a name, first appeared in this world and created all things.

Perhaps because the primordial temple that worships the Creator is located in the capital, on the day of the primordial temple, invitations were sent to the nobles of the capital.

It was a letter telling people to pray to God and receive holy energy. In reality, it was a letter telling them to come to the temple and pay some money.

I burned it every year without even reading it. Thinking about it that way, it made sense that Hugo prioritized Mabel’s story.

“Master, that is….”

Hugo, who would normally have answered yes, showed an embarrassed expression and trailed off. Kael held out his hand to him.

An invitation with gold foil and a pure white envelope, which looked luxurious at first glance, came into his hands, and Kael immediately looked at the sender of the letter.

“Matthias Limpite”

A name written in a font that exudes neatness.

As Kael looked at the name, he swallowed the sigh that was about to burst out as he felt a headache coming on and asked Hugo.

“Aside from the High Priest, is there a priest who uses the name Limpite?”

“As far as I know, none.”

“Yeah. I guess so… .”

Because in this empire, the only person who could use the surname ‘Limpite’ was the High Priest.

Should we applaud Hugo’s boldness in putting the invitation sent by the High Priest himself behind Mabel? Or should we criticize him?

Kael tore off the top of the letter and checked the contents inside.

“Your Majesty, Viscount Cael du Damier.

“I am sorry to send you my first greetings by letter. As you may already know, my name is Archdeacon Matthias Limpite.”

“her….”

Although it was written politely, Kael was dumbfounded.

Among those who live in this empire.

Did he write this with the thought that there would be nobles who did not know the name of the High Priest, the most powerful person in the temple, comparable to the Imperial Palace?

The contents of the letter continued.

“The coming day of the beginning.

“I have taken up my pen to invite you, Viscount, and your daughter, Lady Mabel Du Damier, who have contributed to repelling the calamity that has befallen the Empire, to the Temple of the Beginning.”

He invited not only himself but also Mabel.

If he were a noble, he would have been delighted that his child was invited to the temple, and that his name was mentioned directly by the high priest, on the first day.

Things were different here.

“All I can give you two is my humble blessing. Please come to the Temple of the Beginning and brighten up the Day of the Beginning.”

With those words the letter ended.

blessing.

It was a kind of baptism that literally drove out evil spirits, purified them, and protected the body from things like illness and disaster.

The letter said it was a small blessing, but humility has its limits. To this extent, it was not humility but arrogance. There is no way a blessing given directly by the Archangel would be small.

The blessing of the Great Priest would be something most people would want to receive even if it meant making a fortune overnight. The intention to do so without receiving a single penny was very transparent.

“Master…?”

The letter crumpled in Kael’s hands, and soon a deep purple flame burned it without a trace.

“Call Mabel.”

“Young lady?”

“Yes. The High Priest wants to meet Mabel in person.”

Hugo’s expression hardened at his words.

Those in the Damie household may not know the full story, but they knew that their cute little girl had no good memories of the temple.

“It’s a call from the High Priest, so I can’t ignore it. But I think I should first hear Mabel’s opinion. So bring her over.”

“…All right.”

As Hugo left the office, Kael let out a sigh he had been holding back. Judging by the invitation, it was likely that Lars had not mentioned Mabel’s divine powers.

If it had been known that Mabel had divine powers, the temple would have sent priests accompanied by paladins instead of an invitation.

Considering that the Grand Master himself had sent the invitation, it seemed likely that he had appeared here in person.

The reason they moved like this is because they felt something was off about Tariq, Calamity, and the Black Forest.

“Kael-! Hugo told me to go, what’s going on?”

Mabel, unaware of the current situation, entered the office calling his name. Kael sighed at her bright face.

“If you sigh like that as soon as you see someone’s face… that’s not good!!!”

Mabel, who had even given him a stern reprimand, said nothing more at his somewhat serious expression and approached the desk where he was sitting.

“Hugo’s expression and Kael’s expression are like that. What’s going on?”

Kael opened his mouth as he looked at Mabel, who was looking at him with her arms propped up on the desk, her expression suddenly turning worried.

“Do you know what day the beginning of time is?”

“Isn’t it a day to commemorate the day when the primordial god created all things? And isn’t that the time when the ‘Last Saint’ episode in the original work came out?”

Mabel answered his questions easily.

“But why the first day? Go to the temple?”

Kael just looked at the child in silence at Mabel’s words, which clearly stated that he would not go to the temple.

As the silence continued, Mabel’s expression gradually changed to one of ‘no way’ and she asked him.

“… Should I go too?”

“The Grand Prix sent a personal invitation to you and me. We should go.”

“Have they found out that I have divine powers?”

Kael answered Mabel’s voice, asking cautiously.

“No, but I think I have some suspicions. It says that he will personally give you a blessing. So I have a question for you.”

“Are you saying that I have a divine power stronger than that of the Grand Vizier?”

As if she knew what Kael was going to ask, Mabel asked ahead of him, and his head nodded briefly.

“I am….”

Mabel opened her mouth.
