I Can See Your Code - I Can See Your Code chapter 163
I see your code (163)
Without hesitation, I immediately followed the directions and moved to the place where the cardinal was. And not long after, the priest stopped in front of a door.
“It is right here.”
The priest immediately pretended to open the door, and then looked back at me.
“sorry. It’s been a while since Cardinal’s guest, so I almost forgot. Originally, I tend to tell you in advance in case you misunderstand me.”
“Do you see any problem?”
“Rather than a problem… … It is because of what the cardinal asked for.”
The priest smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head.
“It is no different, Cardinals tend to dislike unnecessary procedures very much. So, he instructed me to just come in without knocking if I had a business. It’s not really our denomination’s rules or anything like that.”
This is the same setting
I think there were many people who were confused because of the cardinal. If you see a warning like that.
“You seem to be looking for something very efficient.”
“Well, to put it bluntly, it is. To be honest, I think it would be more comfortable for each other to give and receive knocks.”
The priest, who spoke as if groaning slightly, opened the door. And without looking inside, he turned to me and greeted me.
“Then I will go. I wish you all the best in any matter.”
Then he leaves without hesitation.
I stared at the priest’s back for a moment with a puzzled feeling.
It seems that the setting that the introduction is omitted is still the same in the case of guidance.
I would have called you knowing anyway, but what was the reason for the chatter?
I knew it, but actually looking at it, I want something like this. I must say that it feels like I’ve suddenly fallen to another planet. It is a culture shock at the level that there are countries that do not serve meals to their guests.
Anyway, there was nothing to do here, so I went inside. You can see the inside right away.
A bed, a desk, and four chairs laid out. That was the end of the furniture in a space about twice the size of my room.
A middle-aged man sitting on one of them looked at me and got up.
“Come. I was waiting.”
Although it is a sharp impression, the tone is quite favorable.
If you’re new to the cardinal, maybe you’ll like that look.
Omitting unnecessary procedures makes him feel like a post-authoritarian person, and the scenery in this desolate room makes him look like a frugal person.
Knowing the truth, I only felt empty because of Velia’s continental minimalism and my heart was open.
I responded by bowing my head slightly without showing it.
“I see you, Cardinal. My name is Ryan.”
“I know. Actually, it’s a strange name that I don’t know. You are the one who is talked about the most on the continent these days, along with Sir Dante, who was Iron’s disciple and the first to win the above rank.”
“Yeah, it’s just a rising divinity. It cannot be compared to the reputation of a cardinal who has long been established.”
“It sounds like you don’t deny the rising divinity.”
“If you deny even that, wouldn’t that be deception, not humility?”
When asked calmly, the cardinal smiled.
“It is. No one in the history of the continent has ever accomplished something like that at your age. Oh, let me sit there.”
He approached the chair he was pointing at and leaned back gently. Then, as if the editorial had been completed, the cardinal immediately took out the main point.
“I heard what happened in the restaurant. I had a problem with my son.”
“It happened without knowing that he was the son of the Cardinal.”
“If I had known, would I have just left it alone?”
Well. I would have thought about it one more time.
It’s not because I’m afraid of authority, I’m sure you’ve noticed that I did it on purpose.
But in the end the conclusion would be the same.
“It would not have been.”
“Honest.”
The cardinal nodded and said.

Maybe it was because of my sense of justice, so I guess they accepted it… … .
I smiled and didn’t say anything about him. After all, delusion is free.
Anyway, after that, the cardinal made a formal apology and started asking questions about me.

Most of them were things like Arina’s food taste and lifestyle, but there were often questions about me as well.
“From what I heard, it sounds like you’ve even mastered spirit art. Where the hell does that leeway come from? He must be very busy with swordsmanship without ever opening his eyes.”
“I just happened to learn it during this mission. After all, it was also a village for elves.”
“Hmm. It wasn’t enough to finish the mission in just over ten days, but I also learned the spirits… … .”
chin. The cardinal, who closed the book he was writing down, rose from his seat.
“Anyway, thank you. Thanks to you, it will be of great help in taking care of St. I called to apologize, but somehow it seems like I just made it a nuisance.”
“Of course it had to be done. If it’s about the saint, I’m not out of touch either. Would it be okay if I asked you one more thing?”
“Anything.”
I caught my breath for a moment and said.
“I think Cardinals know why I am on this mission, even though I am not a believer.”
“… … You’re talking about being alone with Kitan-sama.”
“Yes. May I know when that will be possible?”
That’s when, for the first time, what could be called a real emotion appeared on the cardinal’s face. It was unpleasant.
But that was only for a moment, and he quickly returned without expression.
“Perhaps the Pope will call you first as soon as the saint’s appointment ceremony is over. Of course, there is no guarantee that Kitan will accept it.”
“It’s enough just to try.”
I got up from my seat and bowed my head to the cardinal.
“Then the next time we meet will be the saint’s appointment ceremony soon. We will see you again then.”
“okay.”
The cardinal stared intently at me for a moment, then turned around and spoke in a calm voice.
“I wish you all the best until then.”

It wasn’t as good a meeting as I thought it would be. In the end, even if we were to talk about it, it was almost like asking each other hello.
I was expecting some special information.
I sighed as I sat in the corner of the indoor garden chair and looked up at the ceiling.
I came here to check if something would have changed since I had intervened, but for now, there seems to be no such thing. If this is the case, it will flow smoothly just like the original without having to touch anything.
So, can you think of it as a vacation after a long time?
It won’t be long enough to meet Kitan, so it’s okay if you write down a questionnaire.
It was time to decide what to do and go back to the room.
“Hey.”
A voice caught me from behind.
It’s a familiar voice I’ve heard recently.
Looking back, I guess
He was the cardinal’s naughty child who had an argument at the restaurant.
He looked at my face and frowned slightly.
“What did you talk about inside?”
He seemed to be expecting an answer from me, but honestly, I had no remaining interest in this guy. I didn’t even want to deal with it.
I was just about to shrug my shoulders and leave, but he shouted in an excited voice.
“Stop there! Can’t you hear me!”
“I understand well, please shut that mouth quietly.”
“… … What, what?”
Perhaps he did not know that he would hear such a sound from inside the temple, so he had a bewildered expression on his face.
I glanced at it and pointed to the priests who were staring at the sudden shout.
“Everyone has work and time. But what if you, who is hanging out to meet, even scream to attract attention? Of course you don’t feel good, do you?”
“… … I guess you haven’t heard it yet, but I’m Cardinal’s child… … .”
“I know who your father is. I’m on my way to receive an apology from a child who has just turned 20 from him.”
To be honest, I thought I would at least be standing next to you.
“So, why did you hold me? If you’re trying to apologize, I’ll treat you with what you received, so just go.”
“… … I have no reason to apologize.”
“Oh yeah. It’s nice to have a consistent attitude.”
He answered with a smirk and turned halfway to return to the room. Then the guy, who had been blushing in embarrassment, grabbed me right away.
“Come on, wait! It’s not like that, it’s just that I didn’t do it because I wanted to!”
“Isn’t that what I wanted to do?”
“That’s what my father did!”
All of a sudden, it just goes out without covering the front and back.
I controlled the wind from the moment he took out the letter ‘ah’ so that the sound did not escape. And after confirming that the people around him were making strange faces, he said in annoyance.
“So what do you say?”
“What are you going to do… … . Of course, it wasn’t my will, so there’s no need to apologize… … .”
“Then, were all the crazy things you had been doing up until then that your father made you?”
Hearing my words, he suddenly turned into a nectar and hardened his body.
I didn’t mind him at all and continued talking.
“No, it doesn’t make sense if that’s the case. you are an adult Do you still need instructions from your parents on what to do?”
“… … He is a cardinal of the Khitan religion. Even if it’s a child, if it’s out of sight… … .”
“You couldn’t have been living in this city? That’s what you should have known best.”
He looked at the boy’s face with indifferent eyes.
“Because you are the person who was living with that humble authority on his back.”
“… … .”
“When you need it, put it on quietly, and when it’s really bad, don’t use it as an excuse. Because there is no one who can sympathize with your full-fledged grumbling.”
“… … .”
The boy couldn’t even open his mouth and just stood there blankly.
I waited for a while to see if there was any answer, and then immediately released the wind that had struck me around.
That being said, I don’t think there will be much useful information.
All the priests around him had disappeared. I was curious about the situation inside, but I couldn’t hear the sound, so I guess I quickly lost interest.
Seeing that, I was about to start moving right away, but the guy muttered again, probably not getting tired of it.
“… … I can tell you my father’s secret.”
Oh, is it?
I walked without even turning my head.
A bewildered voice followed soon after.
“Really! He doesn’t really want a saint!”
“… … .”
“Not only that! I’m not sure, but… … He must be thinking of doing something at the appointment!”
The voice grows louder as if he wants to hold onto me somehow.
Eventually I sighed and blew around once more.
I saw the guy I thought I was persuaded with a triumphant expression on his face.
“Now I see. How important is the information I am giving you? … .”
“hey.”
“… … what?”
I looked at him and said with a hint of annoyance.
“It’s over, so shut up your mouth.”
There was no information I didn’t know about what he was saying.
