I Became a Fake Priest the Saintess Is Obsessed With

58 – Volcano (1)

“Wow… It’s amazing…”

At the entrance of the volcano, my companions and I could not help but be amazed by the majestic appearance of the volcano.

A huge mountain that resembles the shape of an ancient giant.

A beautiful mountain range that is elegant and black in color.

A red peak that looks as if flames could burst out at any moment.

It is literally like the entrance to hell or utopia.

“Ahem, then I’ll start guiding you now!”

While the group was admiring, Tina took the lead.

Dorothy was supposed to lead the way, but she couldn’t hear our conversation because she was sleeping.

“I decided to give directions! You can rest!”

“Huh? Really? I’ll leave it to you then~”

“Then I’ll tell you today’s schedule!;

Tina obediently gave up her role as a guide.

Given her personality, it wouldn’t have been bothersome to give guidance.

As proof, as soon as she puts Dorothy in the lead, she falls behind and drinks alcohol from no where she picked it up….

“Today, we will stop by the inn, reserve a room, go to the blacksmith shop, a famous feature of the dwarven village, have dinner at a famous restaurant there, and then go to the inn!”

Dorothy’s travel schedule was less complicated than I thought.

Just find a place to stay, visit the blacksmith shop, and then have a meal.

Well, since we arrived late, we won’t be able to wander around, so that’s a pretty tight schedule.

“It’s a dwarven blacksmith… I should have bought a sword, but it’s good.”

“When you say a good restaurant, do you mean a place called Passion and Sort? The alcohol there is delicious…”

The group seems to like Dorothy’s travel plans.

‘The dwarves’ blacksmith… ‘Is this place better than the blacksmith shop in Gray Town?’

The blacksmith shop in the dwarven village is famous for the quality iron produced from volcanoes and the smelting technology independently developed by the dwarves.

The skill in handling iron is so great that people call the dwarf village ‘village of iron and fire’.

I am from Gray Town, which is famous for its blacksmithing skills as it supplies war supplies, so I became interested in blacksmithing.

“Then let’s go!”

Dorothy took the lead and led us.

I and her companions followed her as she walked quickly.

That’s how the fun journey began.

***

“Wow~ It was fun~”

After finishing all of today’s schedule, I returned to the inn.

Tina was so drunk that she collapsed without even entering her room.

The blacksmiths in the dwarven village were truly excellent.

The iron they selected was pure iron without any foreign substances mixed in, and the iron that was bent in the flickering flames seemed to dance.

The iron, which was given new life by the hands of a craftsman, was so beautiful that both eyes were blinded by its appearance and luster.

Sir Brielle, who was handed the sword by the dwarf, was unable to even speak and just kept her mouth shut.

“Tina. Could you please get up and go to your room? This is in front of my room…”

The inn has a total of four rooms.

Lecia, Dorothy, Tina and Amelia share a double room.

Sir Brielle and I decided to use a private room.

Assuming that it is inevitable for men and women to share separate rooms, there is no particular reason why Gyeong and I share separate rooms.

This is because the rooms that could be reserved were two double rooms and two private rooms.

It wasn’t the travel season, but it was a good place to stay, so there wasn’t enough room.

There were only four women and two men, so as a concession from the other party members, Sir Brielle and I were allowed to use her private room.

“I don’t want to~ Let’s sleep together, Ivan~”

“Ah… What kind of trick is this? Go away now!”

She kicked Tina, who was blocking the door, and pushed her away and entered her room.

‘Passion and Sort’, which I visited to say it was a good restaurant, was a restaurant that mainly served meat and alcohol.

Among them, it was most famous for its alcoholic beverages, and it was famous for the strong alcohol it sold there.

No one in our group drinks, so I had a drink to be Tina’s drinking partner, but wow, it was really strong.

As soon as it went down her throat, she felt her head spinning and she put down her glass after a few drinks.

Tina blew her ass off with that kind of alcohol, so she deserves to be out of her mind.

‘Let’s go to a hot spring quickly…’ ‘

After changing into my pajamas, I prepared to go to the open-air bath attached to the inn.

Since it was rumored to be a hot spring town, expectations were high as to how great the hot springs would be.

‘I have to take Sir Brielle with me too.’

It was lonely to enjoy the hot springs alone, so I decided to take Sir Brielle, the only male in the group.

When I went to the front of Sir Brielle’s room, I ran into him just coming out of the room.

When I explained the situation, he said, “Good. I was just about to go to the bathhouse,” And decided to go to the bathhouse with him.

I took off my clothes in the locker room right in front of the bath, opened the door and entered the bath.

And then I stopped at the scenery in front of me.

“……”

It was also because of the beautiful scenery of the bathhouse.

Pine trees arranged appropriately against the blue sky

Hot springs illuminated by the light of the rising moon.

The open-air bath that blends in with nature is literally a sight of paradise.

But, more than that, my attention was drawn to the hair bundle in the bathtub.

“Jang Sanbeom…?”

The black fur rising above the water looked similar to a monster from a ghost story I knew.

“Don’t just stare. Come in. Isn’t the night air cold?”

The hairy monster said that without even looking back.

No, judging by the way he talks, he is probably a monster.

But, Jang Sanbeom was a talking monster… ?

“Well, it’s definitely cold standing there naked. Come on in, priest.”

As I was standing still and unable to enter the bath because I was suspicious of the hairball, Sir Brielle entered the bath first.

Hesitatingly, I followed him into the bathhouse.

When I entered the bath, I saw a monster… No, I could definitely recognize this person as a person.

Judging by the color of his skin reflected in the water and the thick lines on his body, he is just a man with very long hair.

“I’m so glad you came just when I needed some company.”

The man, who spoke in a tone reminiscent of a historical drama, turned around and made eye contact with us.

The man has a handsome face and is quite handsome.

“Let’s talk… Okay. Where are you from and who are you?”

“I am Tamara from the far eastern continent. This time I ask: Where are these nobles from?”

“My name is Brielle Ras Triente, a high-ranking paladin of the Earth Mother Church from the former Eldrim Empire.”

“Oh. He was a priest of the Earth Mother Goddess Church. Is that the case with you next to me too?”

Tama turned his gaze and looked at me.

Roughly speaking, it seems like you should tell us your origin and status like Sir Brielle, but there is a problem.

‘Ivan… Where are you from… ?’

I don’t know where Ivan, the owner of this body, is from.

The first place I opened my eyes after reincarnating was the Empire, so I may be from the Empire, but

Because it is a gray town with overlapping borders with several countries, its origin is ambiguous.

There are so many children in Gray Town who were involved in the war, and there is a high possibility that Ivan is one of them.

In other words, no one knows whether Ivan is from the North, the Allied Powers, the Principality, the Eastern Powers, or the Demon World.

‘When I think about it, I wasn’t really interested in Ivan… ‘

If you think about it, I am an evil ghost who stole Ivan’s body.

I feel a little sorry, but I have no intention of apologizing.

I didn’t just steal my body, I even used my damn abilities to rise from a poor orphan to a high rank of mid-priest.

And… Maybe Ivan…

“Is it difficult to talk about? Then there is no need to talk about it.”

Tama cut off my distracting thoughts.

I wiped my face with watery hands and shook away any distracting thoughts.

“Ah, no. I’m Ivan Ira, a lieutenant priest of the Earth Mother Church. I’m from… I’m not sure.”

“Ivan Ira?”

Tama looked surprised when he heard my name.

“Yes, I’m Ivan Ira…?”

“I see… It’s ‘Aira’…”

Tama muttered to himself and placed his hand on his chin.

“Interesting… As expected… Ah, my.”

He looked up at the moon, muttered to himself, and then took his hand off his chin.

“I was rude. I showed bad behavior in front of noble people. I’m going to go now. Enjoy the hot soup to your heart’s content.”

Tama left as if he was in a hurry.

“Please take a look. It’s slippery because of the water, so you might fall.”

“Ah, yes. Be careful, Aira-dono.”

After hearing what I said, he tied up his long hair and slowly got out of the bath.

And I saw.

His ears were covered by long, long hair.

It was closer to the ears of a reptile like Sili than to a human ear.

“?”

When he rubbed his eyes to see if he had seen something in vain, it was after Tama had disappeared.

He grabbed his head.

Um, yes.

You probably saw it wrong.

I guess I’m dizzy from being in a hot bath for a long time.

“I feel a little dizzy after soaking for so long… I’ll go out first, Sir Brielle…”

“Is that so? Then I’m just enjoying the bath a little more.”

I left Brielle and got out of the bathhouse first.

As I was getting dressed, I thought about why Tama hesitated when he heard my name.

‘Ivan Ira… ‘

‘Ivan… Ira… ‘

‘Ira… ?’

While thinking over Ivan’s name several times, I realized something and, like Tama, I had no choice but to stop.

Why didn’t I notice that I had been using Ivan’s name for 12 years since my reincarnation?

‘Why does Ivan, a poor orphan, have a last name?’
