False Priest

  “Please allow me to introduce myself once again, my name is Kuroe. On this occasion, I’m filling the role of the Priest of the 202nd colony. I’m officially a temporary successor of Priest Nicolay, I pledge to do my best at executing the Holy duties?. Thank you all.”


  Our introduction began in a big way, in front of the great number of people who had gathered at the church.

  That’s right, I’m actually hiding at this village as a priest when in reality I killed a lot of the Crusaders’ soldiers, had sex with the Seventh’ Apostle Sariel, and I even have the Demon’s King protection.

  However, I can’t help but do this. To be honest, I couldn’t think of any better idea.

  I’m now pretending I’m a priest dressed in a pure white priest’s robe. It seems that the priest Nikolay who died during the raid was a person of advanced age and large build, and fortunately, he wore a size that fits me perfectly.

  I’m wearing those ‘Coloring eyes’ that change my eye color and make me look more intellectual, I hope they do. Please don’t call me an intellectual gangster.

  Besides, I can’t calm down. I can relax my body more than when I’m using my cursed equipment, but I must get used to the Cross Church that symbolizes this white robe.

  While hiding that bad feeling I had, I managed to finish without hesitation the greeting I had planned frenetically. Even I noticed that I was nervous as I expressed myself. It’d be hard to show a calm smile on my face, its complexion makes it physically impossible.

  And now, the villagers’ reaction……

  “Oh, that person was the Priest……”


  “Then, have you passed God’s judgment on those violent Crusaders?”


  “Priest Kuroe, thank you.”


  “We’re counting on you, Priest Kuroe!”


  They tried to sully God’s name. It appears that my slaughtering of those Crusader Soldiers delivered benefits, as the villagers seem to be relieved and satisfied.

  Moreover, I’m pretty sure Randolph has already laid the groundwork in advance.

  “This ”


  “I’m Yuuri. I devote myself as a nun along with my brother.”


  “As you can see, Yuuri has lost her limbs and is disabled, but she has never lost faith in God. She’ll definitely carry out her duties as a nun sister.”


  She’ll appeal to the hearts of those who don’t have faith in God. With Sariel’s beautiful face and her pitiful condition, it turned into a moving atmosphere, very easily.

  “Getting to the point, I think we should hold a ceremony for the victims of this raid. Randolph, do you agree?”


  “Yes, the arrangements for the cremations have already started.”


  This had already been decided since the start.

  In order to further introduce myself as a priest and increase my persuasiveness, I’ll start with my first task as soon as possible.

  But that’s not only for that reason, it’s necessary to hold funerals for the villagers that were killed and to bury the Crusader soldiers. It’s better to dispose of the bodies quickly, as it may become a cause for monsters, undead, or plagues.

  And so, we hurried the preparations on the outskirts of the village and carried everything to the graveyard.

  Even though it’s a graveyard, what I see in front of me is the Fairy Garden, nothing but a snowy field. And in the middle, there were lined up a large number of remains covered with cloth, along with the firewood for the cremation in their surroundings and the wooden crosses instead of gravestones for their graves.

  In this soon new graveyard where many sad villagers gather, starts my first task as Priest Kuroe.

  “Oh, our Father in heaven……”


  God has never received a more heartfelt prayer in history.

  That thing almost all those hateful Crusaders said, a prayer to God. They shouted that just before killing me previously, as they asked for salvation.

  I was now speaking those lines that were the most foreign to me.

  “May God give you his Blessing!”


  However, there wasn’t any lightning falling on top of my head or wrath coming from the White God from this cleared up winter sky,

  Nothing is going to happen, after all, this is all about words.

  “Aha…… God’s Blessing……”


  “May God bless us!!”


  However, at least for the Sinclairs, these words do have a magical effect that may cause miracles, so I can see its purpose. You say those words and there’s a real meaning to it.

  That’s right, back when their family and close ones died, their lover, their friends, their acquaintances, and neighbors, no one said any of these lines when they had to part ways forever.

  They are crying as they pray these words to their God.

  “.……”


  I managed to somehow swallow a sight that was about to slip out.

  I must calm down and remain silent, this is just my work, I must concentrate on my acting.

  The actual preparations were already managed all by Mayor Randolph himself, I just have to pretend to pray and read the Bible in my hands as it is, a very simple job.
