(POV-Shin)
-[Holy Magic: Aphrodite] Skill Acquired-
For some reason, I got this skill after I defeated all of the heretic gods.
"Thou art noisy idiotic girl!"(Athena)
"I'm a saintess serving God. I will not bend on you heretic goddess!!"(Claire)
I teleported back to the location we left them and saw them arguing. Takeru and Rafael are restraining the Vatican saintess with troubled expression.
"I'm back, Athena."(Shin)
"Welcome back, mine husband."(Athena)
She sweetly smiles at me. I smiled softly back at her. After I kissed her for being so cute, I chantlessly cast purification spell to purify all of Vatican.
"!!!... Absurd."(Claire)
"Welcome back, milord."(Takeru)
"Yeah. Thanks for guarding them. Must be exhausting."(Shin)
They only replied a tired smile.
"We can't let her fight Her Majesty Athena after all."(Takeru)
"Indeed. It is but a folly. Even she is the Prophet of the Lord, she will not be able of resist the princess goddess of shining eyes' eyes."(Rafael)
I nodded in agreement.
"Athena's eyes can even petrify fate or time in its full power after all."(Shin)
I shift my gaze to the direction where people are approaching.
"Claire!!"
"Your Holiness!!"(Claire)
She dashed towards him and healed him. She looks at him with gentle smile like a granddaughter that cares about her grandfather.
"Art you her guardian? Let her learn a bit of respect."(Athena)
"You are-!! My apologies."(George)
She gave a scathing remarks not reading the mood. I chopped her head.
"I apologize on her rudeness. I'm Sengaku Shin... Well, Shin Sengaku in western style. As you surmised, I'm a godslaying devil king, Your Holiness the Pope."(Shin)
"I'm Stephen I, Pope of Holy Roman Catholic Church."(George)
We shake hands. Shira arrived along with the others.
"We are back onii-chan. I already got the permit!!"(Shira)
"Thanks for the hardwork everyone."(Shin)
I smile gently towards them.
"You act like a wife, Shin-kun."(Rin)
They all laughed at me. Rin handed over a book. The moment I touched it.
-[Aphrodite's Fiance] Title Acquired-
"Huh?!"(Shin)
"As I've thought. I thought that woman will already start approaching you. I feel to late."(Athena)
She said she must be being trained by Zeus and Hera to be a proper wife.
"This must be my father's- Zeus'- suggestion. He is trying to curry a favor to you."(Athena)
"Political marriage?"(Shira)
All of us frowned.
"Worry not. That woman will stubbornly refused if she doesn't like the man in suggestion. She is... a more 'open-minded' lady in this kind of events."(Athena)
She made a bitter face reluctant to praise the other lady.
"A relationship between straight-laced honored student council president and free-spirited gyaru huh."(Lia)
"A very apt comparison. We have that kind of undesireable yet inseparable relationship."(Athena)
"Your main problem is if she starts cheating once she married Shin."(Momo)
She nodded with exasperated sigh.
==========
We entered at the basilica. I thought Lilith will not be fine because of anti-demon sigils. She said the she will be alright because she ascended of to True Demon King. She said her MP regeneration will be slower as Level 5000 High Human that specializes on magic. The miasma that aided her on 100 times faster than that MP recovery, also serves as invincible armor, her demonic aura will be weakened, and her HP recovery will be a bit slower.
"- Aside from that, all my abilities will remain. These sigils only seal the Demon's racial skills to put us on mortal's equal ground. My demon racial skills will be sealed but not the true demon king racial skills."(Lilith)
"I see."(Shin)
"It is a first in history for a human or the devil king to make a true demon king as his familiar though. You are absurd."(Rafael)
"Thank you for waiting."(Claire)
The two entered the reception room.
"Once again, thank you for saving vatican."(George)
"... We are here actually for sightseeing. Saving the city is just a coincidence."(Shin)
I smile wryly. We reintroduced ourselves to each other.
"... What about that silver haired lady?"(George)
"Mine appellation is Athena. The heaven sent child of wisdom, death and earth and darkness. Princess goddess of shining eyes. The queen goddess who rules over war, wisdom, female crafts, death, fertility, darkness, death. Pleasure to meet thou, supreme pontiff of highest priest serving the highest god of light and creation."(Athena)
She proudly replied with all her haughtiness and queenly grace and aura.
"Lord Pope. We have another reason aside from sightseeing and reading books."(Takeru)
"That is for the Prophet of the Lord to translate the Words of God."(Rafael)
All of us looked at the saintess of vatican.
