“Thank you so much, Holy Lady. Thank you… truly….”
“It’s nothing. I only did what needed to be done. May the plain truth of the god always accompany you.”
Holy Lady Erin.
Erin had come to a village near the capital to provide medical assistance after hearing the voice of Master Igogodon.
This village appeared to have recently suffered an attack from a band of thieves.
Erin recalled her own unfortunate past.
‘These people must be going through truly difficult times, just as we did back then.’
Of course, the small village where Erin had lived also suffered from a plague, so their situation had been even more terrible…
Still, even if it hadn’t been at the request of Master Igogodon, she would have helped in some way if she had heard of their troubles.
The village had sustained considerable damage, including the burning of an orphanage a little distance away, and it was in desperate need of assistance—
“It seems the Imperial Army hasn’t been dispatched here.”
At Erin’s remark, Cecilia lowered her head.
“There appear to be some internal issues. It seems they lack the capacity to go from village to village.”
“Issues?”
“Yes.”
From Cecilia’s explanation, it seemed to be a political matter.
Among the three priests accompanying Erin, Cecilia was the one most knowledgeable about matters outside the religious sphere.
Since Erin herself wasn’t particularly interested in politics, Cecilia’s presence was of significant help to her.
At that moment, a young girl in the village pointed at Cecilia and spoke.
“Mom, Mom, look at that sister’s clothes! You can see her boobs!”
“Oh dear…! I-I’m so sorry, Sister. The child is too young to understand the importance of the sacred energy pouch.”
To the flustered woman, Erin stepped in for Cecilia and, with a gentle, compassionate smile, replied.
“It’s fine. One day, this child will reach an age where she’ll understand Master Igogodon’s teachings. Until then, may she grow up healthy, in the name of the Holy Lady.”
“Thank you, Holy Lady…!”
“Mom, does God like boobs?”
“I told you to be quiet! Do you want to get in trouble? Let’s go.”
“Goodbye, Holy Sister!”
Erin gave a bittersweet smile as she watched the cheerful child walk away.
“It seems that Master Igogodon’s teachings have not yet reached everyone on this continent.”
“Yes… Showing the sacred energy pouch openly does not align with their secular values, and some may feel awkward or uncomfortable because of it.”
‘No, they shouldn’t feel awkward or uncomfortable.’
Ever since Erin heard the voice of God directly and became a holy lady as His apostle, she had set her goal
To spread the providence of Igogodon throughout the entire world.
To create a beautiful ideal world where everyone freely displays their sacred energy pouch, proudly showing their sanctity, and where they share the plain truth of Igogodon with each other in harmony!
‘Even if it’s not in a situation where “God’s Power” has descended, I have to start with what I can do with my own hands.’
To spread the faith.
To help more people realize the plain truths contained in the scriptures!
“Still, thanks to your manifestation, Holy Lady, the number of people walking the path of faith has greatly increased.”
“That’s fortunate?!”
***
At that moment.
Erin suddenly clutched her stomach and collapsed on the spot.
Her rather substantial chest moved rhythmically with a noticeable sway.
Startled, Cecilia hurriedly supported her, her voice urgent.
“Holy Lady? Are you alright?!”
“Ahh… Ugh…!!”
Watching Erin tremble in pain, Cecilia quickly realized the situation and immediately began to pray.
“Lord, Master Igogodon, please take mercy on the Holy Lady…”
Indeed.
Erin was hearing the voice of God.
“Agh… Ugh… The Lord’s words are entering… my stomach… again…”
In the quiet square, with no one else around, Erin crouched there for some time, letting out faint sounds—until eventually, she stood up, looking much refreshed.
“Ha… I understand, Master Igogodon… All is according to Your will…!”
With a face overcome by religious ecstasy, she reverently accepted His providence.
“It seems you’ve communicated with the divine, Holy Lady.”
“Yes, regarding a very important matter.”
“If it’s an important matter…?”
After taking a deep breath, Erin turned to Cecilia with a serene smile on her face.
“A holy knight has been chosen.”
***
This was the grave of the Head of the Heavenishian Adelia Order, Rutz Heavenishian.
Standing before it, Luca bowed his head in a moment of silence.
‘Headmaster, thanks to you, I was able to graduate from the academy safely. Thank you.’
Although he had heard the words “Congratulations on your graduation” in the end, he never had the chance to express his gratitude for being able to graduate thanks to her.
The words left unsaid would forever become thorns lodged in his heart.
But it was okay.
He could keep moving forward.
God would watch over him.
“Amen! Don’t cry! The Headmaster told us not to cry, remember?”
“But… sniff… H-Headmaster…”
“If you start crying, it’ll make me want to cry too!”
Luca waited patiently in silence as Amen and Freya calmed themselves down.
After some time, once everyone had composed themselves, she was about to leave when—
“You were here.”
‘Hm?’
She turned around, sensing someone calling her.
A gentle breeze playfully ruffled Luca’s bangs as a woman, dressed in radiant platinum priestly robes, gazed at her.
Behind her stood a few nuns.
“You are…?”
“I am Holy Lady Erin.”
‘The Holy Lady?’
Now that she thought about it, her robes did seem a bit different from those of the other nuns.
“May I pay my respects as well, if that’s alright?”
“Ah… Yes, of course.”
Erin slowly approached the headmaster’s tombstone.
She had only walked a few steps, yet each movement was so graceful.
Maybe it was because she had introduced herself as a holy lady, but even the smallest gestures seemed sacred.
After a moment, Erin closed her eyes and began to pray.
“May Master Igogodon’s eternal rest and plain truth be with you.”
‘Wow…’
Even though she was also a woman, Erin’s prayerful appearance was enough to make anyone’s heart flutter.
That respectful prayer for the departed, seeking the plain truth of God on their behalf…
It was a perfect scene, something that seemed untouchable.
Maybe it was because she was an apostle of God; it was like seeing a statue that God had sculpted with all His might—a bold thought, to say the least.
At that moment, Luca felt a more fundamental question arise within him.
“Come to think of it… Didn’t you say, ‘You were here?’”
Her appearance was so stunning that she had automatically thought, ‘Maybe the headmaster had a connection with the nuns, and the Holy Lady came along out of courtesy.’
But the Holy Lady had looked at him directly and asked if she was here.
“Yes. I came here to find you, Luca.”
And she knew his name, even though she hadn’t revealed it yet.
“Did that mean…?”
“Yes. Today, I came to deliver God’s words to you, Luca.”
Erin closed her eyes and offered a brief prayer.
Then, she opened her eyes to reveal the clear blue sky reflected within, extending her pure, white hand as it seemed to brim with divine selection.
“Luca. Become a holy knight. This is God’s will.”
‘Hah.’
‘Finally, the two have met.’
The first love I saved, Erin.
And the woman who stirred my heart, Luca, who once made me cry.
I’ll be honest.
Right now, it feels like I’m watching my beloved little sisters meeting each other in real life.
So let’s refrain from saying things like ‘They’re just comic characters, not real people.’

[Igogodon: Author… this chapter was delightful… When’s the next one coming? Tomorrow?]
[MoneyPlease: Indeed. Based on the observation schedule, it should be conveyed in comic form around that time.]
Of course, I knew this wasn’t a web novel but a webtoon, and with this level of quality for a daily update, it was already quite amazing.
Oh…
But still, I felt a bit unsatisfied.
Even though I had already donated a lot, it felt wrong to demand more.
The story included close-up shots and bust morphing scenes that weren’t even necessary for the plot, and I was enjoying every bit of it.
[Igogodon: Seriously… These days, games don’t entertain me as much, but your comic is what I look forward to… Stay healthy and keep creating for a long time.]
[MoneyPlease: I should be saying that to you, Master Igogodon. Thank you for not just passing by our world.]
[MoneyPlease: I always wanted to observe happy moments. But, without divine power, it was impossible.]
[MoneyPlease: Without you, Igogodon, many would have simply perished again.]
[MoneyPlease: You are fulfilling my dream.]
Hah!
“Really?”
“Me???”
I laughed out loud.
“Was it because I felt embarrassed?”
“Or was it because, even at this age, I felt like the hero complex that had burrowed into my wounded heart as a child was finally being rewarded?”
This author really knows how to satisfy.
‘Why did I even spend so much more on things like enhancement, gacha, and pet duration extensions in online games when this was so much more satisfying?’
[Igogodon: LOL Just wait. I’m about to quit online gaming since it’s gotten boring.]
[Igogodon: I’ll show you what real “support” means.]
[MoneyPlease: I appreciate the sentiment, but please don’t overdo it. I understand well how difficult it is for divine power to reach you, Igogodon.]
Right. Earning other people’s money is tough.
Although they were creating the story according to my preferences, I liked how they didn’t assume my support was a given.
I was also satisfied with how the story was progressing.
At that moment—
[MoneyPlease: In any case, it seems Luca has been chosen as the holy knight.]
[MoneyPlease: It’s unfortunate for Lumina and Ophel Aichel, but this is the will of our one and only God, Igogodon.]
[MoneyPlease: I believe they have destinies that suit them.]
[Igogodon: What are you talking about all of a sudden??]
[MoneyPlease: Pardon?]
[MoneyPlease: I said it’s unfortunate for Lumina and Ophel Aichel…]
[Igogodon: Why should they be unfortunate??]
[MoneyPlease: Well, because they weren’t chosen as holy knights…?]
[Igogodon: What kind of nonsense is that?]
[MoneyPlease: Excuse me…?]
[Igogodon: When did I ever say I’d abandon them?]
Abandon the knight pouch and the princess pouch?
Me?
Why???
[MoneyPlease: But, Master Igogodon, while I know you have a warm heart toward us all,]
[MoneyPlease: the position of holy knight can only be filled by one person.]
[Igogodon (Support / 10,000 won / Since I’m the one funding this)]
[MoneyPlease: N-No, wait. Let’s calm down.]
[Igogodon (Support / 10,000 won / What can you do about it?)]
‘What’s better than two pairs of breasts? Four pairs.’
‘What’s better than four? Eight!’
“Mom, does God like boobs?”
“Yes, God loves boobs.”
[Igogodon: Give them all to me.]
[Igogodon: They’re mine.]
More female characters!!!!
