[Episode 88]
“What is the problem!”
“You.”
“yes?”
“No, are you willing to listen anyway?”
I answered politely.
Funding is the subject he will react to the most sensitively, so he only mentioned it.
Dad was great, but he wasn’t so zealous in society that he was arguing with other nobles not to make donations.
If it was a threat, it might be possible, but I didn’t want to do that.
It would probably be right to ask your father’s youngest sister, Acrea Sapail, to ask you to cut off the funding line.
From what my dad told me, the socialite said she was holding on tight.
‘Come to think of it, it’s a great family.’
Charniel Etam was said to be one of the five strongest men, and Acrea Safail was said to be the queen of society.
Nelia Zardan has a tight grip on commerce, and I heard that Hiel Etam is exceptional at gathering information by awakening the ability to communicate with animals and insects among the dragon’s abilities.
My dad is a genius whose only personality is missing
. Since he said he suppressed himself, it was clear that he had some ability.
“No matter how much… I can’t release the prisoner on the street…” ”
Yes, so I will send it to the southern continent so that the High Priestess will not worry. You don’t have to worry about that.”
“No matter how much, I have fed, clothed, and housed them until now… Besides, I only gave them a job and a chance to atone for their sins.”
Hearing the high priest’s bullshit was a little tiring. It was also time to go to Crunno Etam.
I smiled lightly.
“So 80% off? I’m going to tell my dad right away when I get home today…”
In fact, if I revealed that I was the head of household, this threat would add a little more credibility, but Dad and Grandpa didn’t seem willing to make it public yet.
“…under.”
I know that the beastmen will be in charge of the temple’s overall management, so they won’t be able to give up easily.
‘If my dad came, it would have been easily solved…’
In fact, I was able to solve it simply too.
“I don’t want to just ask the high priest. Dad said it was embarrassing to ask for anything for free.”
Of course it never happened.
“But there are other priests even if there are no prisoners. And I will increase the donation by 50% more than now.”
“yes?”
“Of course, I will create a slush fund so that the High Priestess can have it alone.”
At my words, he opened his mouth.
“I’ll keep asking you to do that as long as Dad is the head of the household. Of course, you can write a contract.”
The high priest’s eyes widened, and he heard the sound of rolling. The greedy double chin wiggled.
It was clear that he was probably thinking about how long he would hold the position of head of household.
“Since my dad is great, wouldn’t he be as good as my grandfather?”
The moment I muttered as if I was talking to myself, the high priest’s eyes glared.
“Kuhm!”
He cleared his throat a few times, then sighed and nodded.
“I can’t do it. The young lady’s heart was so good that even God raised his hands in the end. They may not be able to receive God’s blessing and atone for their sins, but they may surely be saved in the arms of a warm young lady.”
Have you oiled your tongue?
The words that flow out are truly clearing water. Seeing him nod, I reached out my hand to Iona.
In fact, today, I had already made up my mind and consulted legal advice to write a contract.
“Here’s what I promise. Make sure there is nothing missing.”
It was a contract that had already been stamped with the official seal of the Etam family.
“all right!”
Excitedly, he scrutinized the contract. Then he nodded as if he hadn’t confirmed anything strange.
In fact, from what I can see, it was a clean contract with no superfluities. I did it while getting notarized by a legal advisor.
I signed the contract and presented it. And handed him another contract.
“Now, please sign it. If the High Priestess drags the time and doesn’t go back quickly, Dad will come after me.”
When the high priest was urged, he quickly read a few lines of the contract and then lightly signed it after smirking when he saw the huge amount of money.
Iona quickly took it and took it. I was done with my business, so I jumped up from my seat.
“There will be no need to visit the high priest now. But can I visit my uncle often?”
“Yes, of course. Cardinal Cruno also has the right to meet his family. I will recommend you to do less penance from now on.”
“Your High Priestess speaks better than I thought.”
I smiled broadly.
As the high priest, he obtained the contract, so he wouldn’t have to obsess over Chuno Etam from now on.
In the first place, it was absurd that things that could have been solved with money piled up on Crono Etam due to mental pain.
The first two goals I had in mind were achieved.
“May I write this contract?”
“Yeah, read that carefully.”
After answering Iona, I left the high priest’s office and headed for the office of Crunno Etam.
After reading the documents for a while, Iona exclaimed.
“This is…”
“As expected, bad people have fun getting stabbed in the back of the head.”
Perhaps Erno Etam would have used more than this, but I wasn’t confident that much.
Many of the priests I met on the way to the office of Cruno Etam greeted me with a smile every time they saw me.
Since I’ve been stirring the temple for several days, the priests and paladins didn’t interfere or stop me, as if I’d gotten used to it.
I saw the priests hesitate as I stood in the office of Crunno Etam and smiled broadly.
I took out two shiny gold coins from my pocket and held out one each, and the two priests pretended not to win and opened the door.
Chrono Etam wouldn’t have let me open the door, but if he did, he would probably get scolded later, so he paid me in advance for turning a blind eye to me.
“Three seconds, five seconds!”
As if I was getting used to my calling and got tired of it, Chuneau Etam’s face contorted.
He suppressed his irritation to the limit and put the paper down slowly.
I shamelessly sat on the sofa in his office and stamped my feet. Adam and Iona stood behind me.
“What the hell is your class like, you come every day? Are you going to throw away the family to the subject who has inherited the title now?”
“No, I am working hard.”
“What the hell…”
“I always have an interview with the high priest before coming here.”
That’s how I obtained the liberation of the prisoner and the liberation of Chuno Etam today.
“…I don’t know what you read from me, but never mind me. It’s none of your business.”
Chuno Etam spoke coldly today as well.
These days, I’ve been invading his office every day, putting everything aside for now, so I couldn’t have been dissatisfied.
But I didn’t come here to do anything.
All I did was watch Cruneau Etham work without saying anything, then eat snacks and come back home.
“…I want to see Lucy.”
Of course, I didn’t forget to appeal once in a while.
“He would have said he couldn’t meet you.”
“Don’t you think it would be nice if the temple changed, Uncle?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Uncle, do you really want to become a priest? Not all priests are clean and upright.”
On the contrary, in some ways, it will be the exact opposite of what Cruneau Etam hoped for.
Besides, the High Priestess was not crazy about money. Unless Cruno Etam was an idiot, there was no way he didn’t know about the high priest’s bad points.
“The high priest said he would free the beasts and other races.”
“…what?”
“They said they would increase donations by about 50% more than now, so they did.”
Chrono Etam looked at me and said nothing.
“There are only so many people my uncle trusts and follows. A person who wastes his uncle’s time.”
“I don’t know what you say you know. I can’t meet the priestly candidates, so go back now.”
There is no such thing as an iron wall that is so strict. I puffed out my cheeks in displeasure.
“no, I do not want.”
“You really…”
“Actually, you don’t like the bright light.”
The essence of Kurno Etam is darkness.
The ability of the dragon he awakened was endless darkness.
However, due to a certain incident, Kurno Etam sealed his abilities and entered the temple.
His power was originally in handling monsters and taming them. However, in childhood, berserk came.
It was bad luck for Chuneau Etam. Because of that, he lost the girl he first gave his heart to in front of his eyes.
At that time, Krono Etam was only thirteen.
“Your uncle is here to punish and torment himself. For Anzu.”
As soon as I finished my words, Crunno Etam glared at me with a sad expression.
