To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 56
Episode 56 Preparation for Baptism (1)
Why is it that Iriel, among many, many people, is teaching herself?
She added that she might have caught a glimpse of his true intentions.
“In the Holy Land, there is a family that is in charge of educating adults for generations. Only the head of the house is authorized to teach me and the Holy Son. But since he is absent right now, I have no choice but to teach him.”
Did you even learn mind reading? I didn’t say anything anymore, but I can hear you.
I reported that I was going to have a baptism ceremony, but for what reason are you absent?
Ray had some doubts, but decided not to ask.
‘Because there may be personal matters.’
“okay. So, are you going to start right away from tomorrow?”
“Yes, there is a lot to learn tomorrow, so be prepared.”
After that, Iriel slightly bent her knees to say hello and walked to her mansion.
Looking at that, Ray thought about what he had to do tomorrow.
‘Maybe I’ll learn some manners.’
study I don’t know how long I’ve been studying. It is said that he read books in his spare time in the carriage, but he had never studied learning from someone since he was a child.
Unknowingly, he took control of his fluttering heart.
This was the Holy Land. Without knowing anything about this place, there was no time to relax.
In order to achieve the goal of coming to the Holy Kingdom, it was good to learn even one more thing.
Ray took a deep breath and entered the mansion.
A pond in the yard. No, the size itself is enough to call it a small lake.
It is a lake that arouses admiration even when viewed from a distance. Seeing it up close, its beauty is indescribable.
I passed the antique wooden bridge across the lake and entered the garden.
“A lake, a garden… how much did you spend making this?”
Only one mansion was as good as the castle of the Principality of Silos.
Even if you build a house with gold, it will be worse than this.
As I entered the front door, I began to see the door of the mansion.
Even the doorknobs are carefully crafted.
When I opened the door and went inside, ten servants bent down as if they had been waiting in advance.
What’s strange is that no one like the butler is visible. The employees, who were only female, greeted each other as if they were in agreement.
“Meet the saint.”
“Meet the saint.”
It doesn’t look like he’s lowered his head too much, but it doesn’t seem like he’s lowered his head too much either. All fold the waist at the same angle without any error.
The sharp group dance of idols seen in modern times was not like this.
Ray also greeted him bewildered.
“hello.”
“Please feel free to tell me…”
The light brown haired servant said and took Ray’s backpack and held it up.
Rey, who reflexively pulled her backpack around herself, shook her head.
“I will take it.”
“yes.”
Even just by looking at them, they are all small in size. The number of books in the backpack was quite heavy, so it must have been quite heavy.
There was nothing I couldn’t do, but I felt like I wouldn’t feel comfortable if I made her carry a backpack.
“I will guide you to the room where the saint will live.”
The small-built servant raised his hand without raising his eyes and guided me into the hallway.
It was different from the servants he had seen while touring the castle.
Looking at them reminds me of what Iriel said.
‘The hired servants are those who have a clear identity and have been recognized for their dignity.’
It certainly deserves recognition.
If you don’t acknowledge them, who else should you acknowledge?
big hallway. No, after passing through the floor where you can enjoy the view of the lake, and going all the way inside, you will find an antique place with a bed.
The servant did not come inside, but stood outside.
As Ray stepped inside and looked around, the servant took a step back.
Then he lowered his eyes and lowered his head.
“Call me anytime if you need anything.”
She held out her hand with the horse.
He had a small piece of paper in his hand.
Ray accepted the bell.
Do you mean ringing this if necessary?
The servant said to him.
“All you have to do is ring the bell.”
Jing-jing-
As soon as he finished speaking, Ray rang the bell.
The servant’s expression, which had been expressionless until now, seemed slightly embarrassed.
“…Is there anything you want me to do?”
“Where is the washing place?”
“…it’s right next door. If you want to use it, we will prepare it right away.”
At her words, Ray tilted his head in puzzlement.
preparation? What preparations do you need to wash? Doesn’t Seongguk have hot water right away?
‘Should I do some cleaning?’
I thought it was justified since a saint and a saint had never appeared together at the same time.
“Then, please prepare it so that I can use it right away.”
“All right.”
Watching her lower her head again and take a step back, Ray entered the room.
I took a book out of my bag, put it away, and lay down on the well-made bed for a while.
I was quite tired from walking around all day. Washing the body could be solved with magic, but there was nothing like taking a bath to relieve fatigue.
Just in time, the servant from before called to see if he was ready.
“Holy Son, your bath is ready.”
There was a sense that preparation for a bath was over rather quickly to be called cleaning.
When I left the room, a servant standing in front of the door guided me to the bathroom.
Then, he tried to take off the leather clothes Ray was wearing.
At the scene of the sudden rape, Ray quickly stepped back.
“What are you doing!”
I told you to prepare a bath, someone told you to prepare to take away virginity.
He was a great wizard in modern times, and he was meant to be a great wizard in another world.
Seeing him again, the servant was taken aback.
“Why are you like that? Even if I’m being rude…” I
couldn’t help but be taken aback as Ray hadn’t even known that a bath assistant system existed until now.
“Oh no. You don’t have to help.”
“yes? Is that… I was fired then?”
How could the story be like that!
He shook his head rapidly to make the sound of the wind.
“no! I’ll do things like bathing by myself, so you don’t have to help me.”
Ray realized then. Why is preparation necessary?
Needing time to prepare meant needing time to call helpers to wash oneself.
Ray pushed her out of the bathroom.
Having won the honor of being pushed back by the saint, she had to be kicked out of the bathroom.
As she was pushed out, she stood outside the door. She could not understand the saint’s strange behavior.
* * *
“The saint’s complexion is not good. Did something happen yesterday?”
Iriel asked anxiously.
I couldn’t bear to tell her, so Ray sighed and shook his head.
“Nothing.”
“Hmm… well, that would be nice. Then let’s start class.”
There were only Iriel and Ray in the large auditorium rented by the saintess.
Why are they holding classes in an unnecessarily large auditorium?
Iriel scribbled on something like a blackboard.
Iriel, looking at Ray from the church, said, as if he had finished writing before long.
“What we will learn today is the order and etiquette of baptism.”
As expected. Since the first thing I learned was about the baptism, I could see how much the Holy Kingdom rushed the baptism.
“As expected, the baptism is in a hurry.”
“Because it has been delayed quite a lot. There is so much to learn, but no time.”
It seems to be more urgent than you thought.
As soon as he straightened his sitting position, Iriel’s class began.
As she continued writing on what appeared to be a blackboard, she said.
“The order of baptism is divided into three major parts. A pilgrimage to declare that you have become a saint. Finally, it is a ceremony to receive divine power from God.”
Ray listened to her and nodded.
Seeing that, she continued talking.
“To put it simply, I pray to God during the ceremony, and during the pilgrimage, I go around the village and communicate with the people.”
Is the pilgrimage similar to election campaigns in modern times? Why is it such an event to go around the market and eat sundaeguk with the people?
Iriel cautioned him while he was imagining useless things.
“Focus. It’s an important story.”
“Oh sorry. Keep talking.”
“The rites and pilgrimages are led by the holy kingdom, but the final order, the gwonrye, is conducted by the saint alone in a sacred place.”
He asked back at her words.
“alone?”
“Yes, you have to do it alone.”
Do you think you have to do the finale alone to decorate the long-awaited christening ceremony? what is this again
“What specifically do I need to do?”
“I do not know.”
“huh?”
I almost fell in love with such a confident answer.
She replied with a shrug.
“There is no set rule on exactly what to do there. It is said that you just have to show your own sincerity to the god.”
“I’m just asking this for reference… what did you do then?”
In response to his question, Iriel said with her eyes wide open.
“I didn’t do anything.”
“…Didn’t you do anything?”
The more we talk, the more we don’t know what’s what. It’s difficult if the class is like this.
Aren’t there too many things that the person who teaches doesn’t know?
“I didn’t really do anything. I only ate and slept there for a week.”
Ray’s expression softened slightly at her words.
Wherever you look at it, is it your own sincerity shown to God? Did the meaning of the word sincerity change?
Did God slap his forehead in admiration at her actions of repeating only eating, sleeping, and cheap (?) for a week?
It makes no sense at all.
However, the sincerity was evident in her expression.
“I really didn’t do anything. After a week, I had divine power that surprised even myself, and the mana rod created by the god was naturally placed in my body.”
At those words, Ray was lost in thought.
‘The divine power and mana load are built so fast that even you don’t notice? Is that possible?’
Even if it is a god, I wonder if that is really possible. I started to think that the existence of God in this place might be quite great.
Iriel shook his head and said.
“Anyway, it is customary to hold the ceremony alone as a tradition in the Holy Land. On the contrary, you cannot go in without someone accompanying you.”
“…huh.”
I didn’t quite understand, but I nodded my head and forced my consent.
“The order of the baptismal ceremony is roughly this. You don’t have to remember anything else. But… the problem is etiquette.”
