Holy Idol [EN]: Chapter 657

Redrin, I haven’t heard from you lately.

Are you doing well? I have so many things to worry about that my head is aching.

Actually, I don’t even know if I should call it a worry. I’ve decided to seal the Demon King, and all the decisions have already been made.

It’s just that I’m concerned about the people who will be affected by that decision.

In the meantime, Anchovy and Giant Anchovy are fighting so much, even though their souls are connected. It’s driving me crazy.

It happened again today. They were fighting over a room, arguing about whose room it was.

Even a novice priest wouldn’t fight that much.

Not only that, but as if fighting among themselves wasn’t enough, they later blamed me, saying I was the cause.

Even a novice priest wouldn’t blame others like that.

Anyway, the two Anchovies were twitching their tails and insisting, “You started it, so you’re responsible.” So, I wisely came to a conclusion.

“Sleep side by side. The bed is big enough.”

Like that. But the two Anchovies didn’t listen to me.

The bed in their room isn’t big enough for them to sleep side by side.

It’s ridiculous. It’s big enough for them to sleep unless they’re lying spread-eagled.

Anyway, they kept bothering me, so I told them to hug each other to sleep, and they got even angrier.

I don’t know why they’re like that when their souls are connected anyway.

If I had a second Rembrary with the same soul as me, I could lie down and sleep next to him.

Of course, I can’t give up Redrin’s love.

Redrin, even if a Rembrary appears who looks exactly like me, has the same personality, and the same soul, you’ll only love me, right?

Please say yes. That’s how I feel.

If a Redrin appears who looks exactly like you, has the same personality, and the same soul, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

But even if my doppelganger appears, you have to distinguish me and love me more.

Come to think of it, what flower was Kkokko reincarnated as? Would Lumena be able to distinguish Kkokko if she were mixed in with other flowers?

As Redrin listened to Rembrary’s prayer, the speed of his hand stirring the clouds slowly began to increase.

It became so fast that a small whirlwind formed below the clouds. Redrin slowly took his hand off the clouds.

But Redrin put his hand back into the clouds and kept scattering them here and there for no reason.

When the clouds disappeared completely where his hand touched, Redrin got up and went somewhere.

Redrin, having left his territory, headed toward the vicinity of Yama’s office.

As he entered Yama’s territory, he could see an endless line of grim reapers at a glance.

The grim reapers, each holding a scroll in their arms, murmured among themselves when Redrin suddenly appeared.

They didn’t immediately launch an attack like before, but they were still wary, perhaps because of the pigeon incident.

Some of the more daring ones craned their necks to get a better look at Redrin.

‘Why are the grim reapers in this world so obsessed with black?’

Redrin wondered as he watched the grim reapers, then slowly moved in the direction they were lined up.

Following the long line, he saw Yama sitting in front of a large desk piled high with scrolls. It was his destination.

“You always seem busy.”

Redrin spoke as he walked toward Yama.

Yama already knew that Redrin had entered his territory, so he wasn’t surprised.

However, he didn’t seem to welcome him, frowning and looking at Redrin as he asked.

“Why did you come?”

“…….”

“I asked why you came.”

“…….”

“I’m busy. Leave if you have nothing to say.”

Yama lowered his gaze back to the scrolls when Redrin didn’t answer.

As he was about to concentrate on his work again, Redrin strode up to Yama’s side and stood there.

As soon as Redrin came and stood right next to him, Yama quickly folded the scrolls to hide them from Redrin and protested.

“Why are you peeking at other people’s documents? Do you want to work? Do you want to help me with my work?”

“No.”

“Then why are you looking?”

Redrin didn’t answer immediately. As the time for his answer was delayed, Yama became more focused on Redrin’s answer, wondering if something big had happened.

‘If something big had happened, news would have arrived. What’s going on?’

After a long time, Redrin finally answered nonchalantly.

“Just because. King of another world, I just came.”

However, the answer he gave after taking so long was too anticlimactic.

To say ‘just because’ after taking so long. Yama shook his head and tapped his scrolls.

“You must have nothing to do. Then help me with my work. There are plenty of jobs if you want them.”

Redrin shook his head.

“I don’t want to do that.”

“Are all the gods in your world lazy?”

“We didn’t have a shortage of manpower in our world.”

Yama frowned when Redrin bothered him from the side without any intention of helping him, and deliberately said something hurtful to the other party.

“So you have so much manpower that you couldn’t stop one Demon King with four gods and caused trouble for us.”

“That’s true too.”

However, when Redrin readily agreed, unlike his usual self, Yama put down his brush and turned his body to ask.

“No, is something really wrong? It’s strange that you’re agreeing so readily.”

Redrin smiled and raised his eyebrows, but didn’t answer this time either. Yama stared at his expression and soon burst out laughing as if he understood.

“Ah. I see. You’re worried about the Saint from another world, aren’t you?”

“…….”

“I heard the story from Gamjae. If the Saint from another world seals the Demon King, he will end up worshiping the Demon King, right?”

He deliberately chose provocative words, but Redrin surprisingly raised the corners of his lips and replied.

“As if I would worry about that.”

Just listening to his tone, it seemed like he wasn’t worried at all.

“You’re not worried?”

Yama asked suspiciously at that answer, but Redrin answered immediately this time.

“King of another world. I believe in my child. My child’s faith is deeper and stronger than anyone else’s.”

Yama stared intently at Redrin’s face, wondering if he was being sincere.

However, Redrin’s attitude and expression were no different from usual, making it difficult to notice any difference.

On the surface, Redrin didn’t seem to care about the Demon King’s scheme at all.

Yama was momentarily tempted. Did he really just come to play? Isn’t he afraid that the Saint from another world will drink the potion given by that demon and change?

But that was only for a moment. Yama picked up his brush again and said in a tone that had lost interest.

“Yeah, I don’t believe you.”

“!”

“If you were okay, you wouldn’t have come to me. If you were comfortable, you’d be lying down and stirring the clouds. Isn’t that right?”

Yama hummed as he felt the air around Redrin sharpen.

But when Redrin continued to maintain his nonchalant attitude, Yama began to waver instead.

‘Is he really okay? Does he believe in the Saint from another world that much?’

Just as Yama was about to say something to Redrin again.

Redrin knocked down the pile of scrolls, causing them to fall in a heap, and then disappeared.

Yama was gaping, but belatedly realized Redrin’s misdeed and grabbed the back of his neck.

“That, that petty!”

But Redrin was no longer here.

As Yama got up from his desk as if he was about to throw away his work, his adjutant quickly stopped his superior.

“Calm down, Your Majesty. There’s no need to get excited. Your Majesty is the victor. He left because you hit him where it hurts.”

Rembrary hadn’t checked his SNS [Social Networking Service] for several days because he was managing his existing followers.

He had been increasing the number of people he healed and saying good things to his followers more than usual, in preparation for people being disappointed about the Demon Realm issue.

But today was the day that Daegu sprinkled miracles, so he didn’t need to go to headquarters. Rembrary decided to lie down in bed for the first time in a while and check his SNS.

He also needed to check the status of his prospective followers and see if the people who had entered the Demon Realm had received his message safely.

—Rembrary gets more handsome every day ㅠㅠ

—Go back to your planet

ㄴYou go back

ㄴLeave Earth

ㄴDon’t breathe ㅠ You’re polluting the Earth ㅠ

—Remby, ignore the X-like words and only look at the good words ♡

ㄴLooks like your words will be ignored first ;;

There were mostly positive comments on Rembrary’s SNS.

It wasn’t that there were no negative comments. If you were to compare the amount, there were a lot.

However, whenever people who came to leave hate comments posted bad words, Rembrary’s followers would surround them and pour out even worse words.

Rembrary’s followers were all strong in combat, so it seemed like the enemies couldn’t handle them.

—It’s a holy war!!!!!

—Rembrary-nim, I will break the fingers of those evil people, stick them in an incense burner, and burn incense.

It seemed to be the aftermath of Rembrary encouraging the people who wanted healing and his followers to fight back with hate comments if they received them.

“Good. It’s clear here.”

Rembrary took a selfie with flowers in order to repay his followers, and then added words praising his followers.

—Flowers have bloomed with the blood of the enemies you squeezed out >ㅅ< However, the selfie and the phrase were only half left because Shin Jo-woon, who suddenly came out of the room, took his cell phone and deleted the sentence. "What are you doing?" Rembrary protested, dumbfounded, and Shin Jo-woon asked with a look that said he didn't know what he was doing either. "Shouldn't we manage your image from now on? To minimize the impact when the pillar collapses?" "I uploaded a selfie to manage it. Is my picture not good? Did it turn out well?" "Just upload the picture, just the picture. Don't add strange words," "Strange words... I was cheering on the followers' holy war." "Is that cheering?" "I can't just stand still when the followers are fighting hard. No, more than that, Anchovy, how did you know right away that I uploaded a picture?" "!" When Shin Jo-woon went back into the room, Rembrary was dumbfounded and stared at the closed door. 'That guy?' However, the door did not open again. It seemed that Shin Jo-woon had really only come out to delete the phrase attached to the selfie. 'He was the president of an entertainment agency, so he'll probably manage my image better than I do.' Rembrary didn't like it, but after thinking about it, he didn't add the phrase that Shin Jo-woon had deleted. 'Anyway, he's the expert.' Instead, he went to the SNS accounts of the people who were known to have entered the Demon Realm. 'Did they reply?' He was going to seal the Demon King no matter what, but Rembrary still wanted to save as many people as he could. But he wouldn't give up sealing the Demon King to save them. Finally, Rembrary checked the account of the person who was most active on SNS.
