Phase (5)
After moving to another world, Ronan developed several habits.
When there are many people, he hypnotizes pumpkin head, goes to bed, imagines hitting a home run by those who are hostile to him, and goes to sleep, checks the aura and name before the face of the opponent, even if the opponent has good intentions, it is not intentional Many habits of considering the possibility of causing undesirable harm, and beyond that, doubting whether the situation itself was created by someone beyond one’s own insight.
Most of them started with the belief that they didn’t trust the other person and that the situation would go badly.
Thanks to this, it wasn’t without side effects like madly fussing at the church’s children and the phantom crowd, but it was also true that such a way of thinking actually helped Ronan survive in another world.
And if there were only two exceptions to Ronan’s distrust of humans, those two would be Azalea and Celia.
Azalea was not enough to get Ronan out of the main office, so she helped several times and accommodated the outrageous demands. When she secretly left the road with the elves, the princess who followed her and declared that she would absolutely support Ronan became a decisive moment for Ronan. decided to put faith in the princess.
On the other hand, Celia didn’t actually have a great reason. The first person she met right after Ronan reincarnated was Celia, who had no ill will towards him.
Strictly speaking, there was another priest who went to call the cardinals as soon as he woke up, but he couldn’t even remember his name.
Celia was the first person he communicated with who didn’t have an aura that made him feel sick just by looking at her, and as soon as he saw her, Ronan subconsciously believed in her.
In other words, Ronan’s faith in Celia was not something he gained by proving his ability and determination like the princess did. Even if someone other than Celia was present, if he had good intentions, Ronan would most likely have faith.
In addition, complex factors such as the treatment Celia was being treated at the headquarters, the past that seemed to have a story, and her age younger than herself combined, and at some point Ronan recognized Celia as a younger sister to protect.
Therefore, Ronan, who first suspects the people who come upon him and tries to understand the situation, did not care as much about Celia, the only one who follows him around 24 hours a day.
What Ronan had overlooked was that Celia was paying more attention to Ronan’s every move than he thought, and deep down, she had a huge trust in Ronan.
The excuse Ronan had been using to keep Celia away sounded like a task Ronan had set for her that she had to complete.
And it was only natural that the words to replace oneself did not mean, at best, to listen carefully to classes and stay calm.
Celia first decided to follow Ronan’s usual routine step by step.
Even though he’s not Ronan, he won’t be able to handle things as perfectly as Ronan, but even if Ronan comes back and sees himself like that, he knows that he’s a person who will never be disappointed or scolded, but because he knows, he wanted to do the job as perfectly as possible.
Acting as Ronan. First, be faithful to your duty as a student.
In fact, what could Ronan, who was taught by God, learn from the academy?
It was clear that such Ronan was taking classes by choosing subjects that even ordinary people did not learn well, which was clearly a kind of teaching that Celia herself would not understand.
All Celia could feel was that she had to be faithful to her duties as a member of the academy, as a class she had applied for, even for these trivial things.
Therefore, even after Ronan left, Celia did not neglect the classes she was taking. Rather, she was more enthusiastic than when Ronan was by her side, and some professors coveted Celia.
Second, management of apprentice believers.
In fact, this was originally a task that the leaders of the church were supposed to do, but since the high-ranking members of the church were shoveling and splitting up as a group, the apprentice believers were treated almost neglected.
In fact, even Ronan didn’t think much about these trainees. Even if they didn’t know the truth, they were taken out of the main office, and there were some who thought that the main office was better because they didn’t know the truth. I thought I had done enough and forgot about it.
But Celia never thought that Ronan would neglect the trainees.
Before arriving at the academy, how diligently he cared for each and every one of his fearful believers.
As Ronan went through things related to the leader group and left the academy shortly after, he didn’t have enough time to take care of the trainees, so now it was his turn to do what Ronan couldn’t do.
Celia began taking care of the apprentices as best she could.
Among the trainees, some were older than Celia and some had more divine power, but Celia, who was the saint’s exclusive attendant and confident in everything, was enough to be the focal point for the younger followers who were lost and wandering.
Although the remaining two grandsons of the cardinals and one or two trainees who stayed with them until the end were not reformed, the rest came together around Celia.
Third, group management.
Ronan wanted to establish an organization to provide opportunities for help to the victims of the devil worshipers case, and even to countless others.
He started talking to Haren, but at the end, it meant that Ronan thought the organization important enough to give Helena divine power to entrust the will.
Of course, I shouldn’t have neglected it.
Although Celia had many shortcomings in governing the large group, most of them were helped by Helena, but Celia also did her best to preach Ronan’s will to the people in the group.
There was no way that trouble wouldn’t happen in a place where so many people gathered, so through all kinds of trial and error, Celia developed a new respect each time to see how Ronan could be so lenient with people.
Fourth, the response of the denomination.
Celia went through the incident with Ronan from the headquarters, and since Celia herself was secretly isolated within the headquarters, she was aware to some extent that the church and headquarters were not as benevolent and clean as people thought. .
Ronan also usually subconsciously told Celia, ‘There is nothing to lose, so build up a network.’ Celia knew that Ronan didn’t like the Church, given the same pragmatic advice and having shown herself not to be so faithful to the Church many times.
It was a natural part of Ronan’s acting job to respond when such a church took any action.
In the church, Ronan, even the princess, and the imperial knights sent to manage the academy were all gone, so they tried to take advantage of the church’s priests.
The main reason was that it was judged that it would be difficult for trainees who were shocked and confused by this incident to continue their classes.
Normally, he would have attacked the academy for letting the trainees go through such a situation, but one of the culprits of the incident was the Archbishop of the Order of Orion, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
In this way, the Church tried to somehow retrieve the members of the Order of Orion who were far away from inside the academy, but the intention of the Church failed spectacularly thanks to Celia’s gathering of apprentices.
Everyone refused to return to the headquarters except for the two grandchildren of the cardinal and their group, who decided to return to the headquarters as if they had waited.
As this happened, it became inevitable for the church to postpone the dispatch of personnel to manage the trainees and people for the academy Orion church catechism lectures, which were no longer scheduled. .
Since she already had a Dane record, it was only natural that Celia, as well as the academy, would try to figure out the tendencies of the newly dispatched priests.
Celia, who did not doubt that she was nothing compared to Ronan even while digesting the enormous schedule that would have lacked two or three bodies, like Ronan, always worked hard to put a smile on her lips and diligently wandered around here and there.
It was only natural for Celia to emerge as a hot topic centered around the academy and church shortly thereafter.
It wasn’t strange. In the first place, Celia already had a foothold to become famous.
Neither Ronan nor Celia were aware of it, but in any case, Celia is Ronan’s only exclusive attendant.
It was almost natural to look for Celia in Ronan’s presence, and it was already a well-known story that Ronan, who speaks honorifics to everyone, literally everyone, is comfortable speaking only to Celia.
In addition, Ronan was escorted by the princess from the moment he arrived at the academy, he received attention from all kinds of different races, and he was a perfect superman who did absurd things as time went on, even though he never showed any embarrassment or distraction.
It was difficult to approach in the first place, but the academy students were already half aware of Ronan as a star in the sky when he heard the story of the saint’s contribution to defeating monsters and plagues and that he had built a friendship with the emperor beyond age in the imperial family.
Now, even if Ronan is a commoner, he just called him a commoner because he couldn’t know his background, and even rumors that he had a huge secret were growing.
And, of course, it’s hard to get close to such a being. You have no choice but to be kind to yourself and find yourself dwarfed in front of them.
Celia, on the other hand, was a little different.
First of all, he is an attendant. He is a subordinate.
It’s a minor issue that the person above him is a saint, but Celia doesn’t feel like someone from another world like Ronan.
It was also a contributing factor that he was often seen running around the inside of the school as if he was being chased by time, and his human side was easily felt.
In the meantime, similar to Ronan, his generous attitude and smile as if he were trying to embrace everyone fascinated the students.
Maybe that’s all, there is an image of her running around so hurriedly that she is often seen running around, but those who know even a little what Celia is doing are shuddered, wondering if this is how much they need to be able to serve as the saint’s attendants.
At such times, Celia smiled vaguely and just waved her hand that this was nothing compared to Saint Ronan, but there was no possibility that Celia’s competence would be diminished at the point of comparison with Ronan, who had already begun to be put on the same line as the superhuman in people’s heads.
A girl who is kind to others, always makes a smile, but at the same time very competent, sometimes full of humanity, and even humble. How many people wouldn’t be fascinated by a person like this?
In addition, his status as a fallen nobleman was not a big deal because he was covered by Ronan’s overwhelming majesty.
Rather, the person himself is attractive, but the person who looks after him is a saint, which is a huge advantage.
It was only natural that there would be people who wanted to be friends with Celia, regardless of whether they were commoners, aristocrats, peers, or younger.
So, the people of the city, including the current academy.
It was during ‘Celia Sickness’.
…
Is it real?
After returning to the dorm with Celia, Celia eagerly appealed for what she had been doing and gathering information she heard from people around her, the impressions that came to mind were those three letters.
Other than that, I couldn’t think of anything else.
No, is this a true story?
While I was leaving Celia, I was only arguing that it would hurt me if I said it directly, so I should enjoy my school life in moderation. How could such a ridiculous thing happen in such a short period of time?
I wanted a position just like Celia now. Why can’t I get rid of the unpleasant feeling that I’m going to the mountain, but Celia is getting exactly the ideal figure I dreamed of?
Besides, I couldn’t quite figure out whether to say this was nonsense or straight.
Did you try to take care of the things I do by interpreting the words to be my acting? Until then, I can understand that.
But your analysis of me is all wrong.
Faithful to the duty of a student? I am still a person who regrets not skipping farming classes.
Trainee Shindo Management? To be honest, I didn’t even remember it, I’m sorry guys.
Directly managing the slum group?
Somehow, even Celia’s affiliation was left blank. She was wearing one leg.
Responding to the church was at least something I would have done for real, but the rest was hard to see as something I normally do.
How did you manage to do so much when you missed everything about me? How competent are you, my servant.
I could guarantee that even if I tried, I would never be able to.
How the hell are you overestimating me? My expectations are a bit heavy.
Is this what a father feels when he cannot live up to the expectations of a child who believes he can fly?
I’d rather ask you to fly in the sky.
“You’ve worked really hard. I’m proud of you.”
However, it is true that it was hard work, so when he said that and praised Celia, she happily accepted the compliment.
Now…
“I’m going to do the work in the past…”
I can’t bear to gossip about it. Doing so many things from now on?
If I do, I will really die!!
“Ronan-sama! I fully understand that it’s rude. But… But can I continue doing what I’ve been doing?”
While I was conflicting, Celia took the lead.
It was a rope that came down at the right time to the point where I wondered if I was listening to it right now.
Will I…? Can I? Celia Are you an angel?
“Of course, I know I’m still lacking. I’m sorry to ask you such a favor on a topic like that, but while doing at least some of Ronan’s work, for the first time, I felt I was doing something worthy of Ronan’s personal attendant. So, let’s make it a little more perfect.” I want to see you.”
I didn’t know Celia was feeling so much pressure about the title of my exclusive attendant. She had many positive feelings in front of me.
“Celia, there are many times when just having you by my side helps. You don’t have to feel that pressure.”
That statement is true, because Celia’s positive emotions help her calm down just by being around her.
That’s why it’s straight ‘ is it? Then don’t say, ‘I won’t do it!’ Please. Can’t we split our work in half?
“But the fact that I had to act as Ronan’s substitute when Ronan wasn’t around really helped me a lot. Thanks to that, I gained confidence that I never had before. I… I know.”
“What do you mean?”
“After all, these are things that Ronan-nim prepared to teach me.”
Where is Ronan from?
“So I really want to finish it. From now on, I won’t be separated from Ronan-sama, so it’s an experience I’ll never have again!”
I definitely felt that I had become more energetic than before I left. Of course, it wasn’t my intention at all.
So, shall we do that for a while…?
Some people will throw stones at me, saying that I am a villain who leaves the job to a girl younger than him, but throw as much as you like. I will stop them all.
It’s better to block stones. If you care about group management or people management, the real stress index may exceed the limit.
After such an important talk, I decided to ask about the point that I had been wondering about before.
“What kind of situation is the organization I was talking about now?”
A group created mainly by the poor without a proper name.
Besides, I couldn’t help but wonder that Celia was also devoting the most time to that organization along with the young lady.
“Um…it’s a bit difficult to explain clearly…”
Celia’s expression turned ambiguous at my question.
It was a look that was hard to find the exact expression what to say.
Celia groaned for a while, then her face brightened as if she had come up with an expression, and then immediately began to look at me.
You can see everything you think without looking at the aura.
“What did you think of just now?”
“Yeah?! What are you talking about?”
“Didn’t you think of something similar?”
“No, nothing!”
“okay?”
As the silence continued in such a delicate state for a while, Celia, who turned her head away and avoided her gaze, sighed and answered in a small voice.
“That… a new religion…?”
…
“…what?”
It was probably the first time since I reincarnated here that such direct, unfiltered words came out.
It was so shocking that even the filter that had reached my semi-consciousness didn’t work.
Religion? Emerging religion? Emerging religion in a world where God exists?
“It’s not a real religion! It feels like it! It’s just a mood! It’s not like I had any other thoughts!”
Celia, who was talking gibberish and making excuses, couldn’t stand my shocked gaze and ran away.
“You’ll know when you go! I absolutely had no other intentions! I just wanted to talk about the cult-like atmosphere! Don’t worry!”
I was already worried about what the hell he had done.
Really, these crazy people didn’t create a new religion that worships me instead of Orion?
In the first place, there are still priests belonging to the church, but what did those priests watch? It could be that I was overreacting.
…
Amidst such worries, time passed quickly and the time to face their true nature approached.
Yesterday was Friday… I didn’t know at all because I lost my sense of time these days.
Now, most of the ostensible restrictions, in fact, to cut off contact with the church and limit my range of action were lifted, and I was able to go to meet the nameless organization that was only rumored.
But why are you going to the central district church when you go to meet that organization?
“Most of them meet at churches!”
I couldn’t understand more and more.
Isn’t it an organization created for the purpose of educating my support base?
With such a question in mind, I looked around the familiar scene of the church I had visited in a long time and was about to step inside. I turned my gaze to the stone statue at the entrance, which stood very naturally and I almost overlooked.
That’s right, it’s quite unique to be an Orion statue. It looks like it was modeled after me.
…
It’s not the same, no matter where you look, it’s me!!
Right next to it is the statue of Orion! What is this again!
“Hey… Celia…? What the hell is this…?”
I pointed at the statue in my image with a trembling finger, and Celia stuck out her chest proudly and answered confidently.
“It’s Ronan’s stone statue!”
I know that! Why is it so embarrassing to stand so openly at the entrance of a church!
No, before embarrassing, isn’t this idolatry? Am I weird? Am I the only one weird?
My head hurt.
It was evident that numerous clerics were just watching.
