Pope

Th-this little

girl is the pope...?!

[Pope]

...............................

..........................Um...

W-welcome. Is something

wrong? Oh, I know, it's my

eyes. I'm sorry if they

scare you a little bit.

......

......You know, my appearance...

It's alright. Actually,

I'm used to it. People

are usually a little shocked

the first time they see me.

So... Um... Where do you

come from,

I think I might have heard

about that place before.

Wow... What did you do

when you lived there?

Wow, that sounds quite

extraordinary. Ooh, ooh!

Tell me, how have you come

here to Rachel? I'm interested

in knowing more about you~

You and the pope

continued to comfortably

converse. As she spoke, she

seemed more like a young,

lonely girl than a solemn

religious figure for a nation.

...Wow, sometimes, I really

wish I could live like you.

You'd think being pope would

be great, but they make me work

all the time. And there are all

sorts of things I can't do.

You know what's weird?

I think I'm the head of this

religion, but there's a sacred

place that even I'm not allowed

to visit. Isn't that so weird?

...Yeah. I don't know

much about, and I'm not

really supposed to talk

about it. We just call this

place the ''Holy Ground...''

I'm sorry... I want

to tell you more, but...

That's all I know. I wonder...

I wonder what they could

be hiding over there...

[Priest]

I'm sorry to interrupt

your Excellency, but it's

time to officiate services.

Pardon me.

Already?! Hmpf...

Oh, before I forget,

I needed to tell you that

High Priest Zhed wanted

to talk to you,

I really want to thank

you for coming to speak

to me. I had a great time

learning. Now I have to

go officiate services, so...

This is goodbye for now...

Oh, that's right...

Zhed... Er, High Priest

Zhed wanted to speak to you!

Oh, hello! It's you again!

Have you come to tell me

interesting stories about

the outside world again?

Mm. That sounds pretty

strange to me. Well, it's

good to hear it from you.

[

(I can't just leave

now. I should try to see

if I can learn anything

useful from the pope...)

Well, there are always

some priests with me all

the time. Some of them

even watch me when I sleep.

I don't think I have time

to feel lonely, actually.

Thank you for asking.

Sometimes... Sometimes

I wonder if I have a real

family. I don't even know

who'd they be or if they

exist. I don't know...

I... I'm sorry.

I guess you didn't

expect to hear something

like that. *Sigh* I'm feeling

pretty exhausted. I better...

I better get some rest...

Well, even if I wanted

to, I can't just go out

and play. As pope... Well...

Everyone and everything

sort of needs my attention.

The pope said that she's

exhausted. Please come

back when she's feeling

better, and she will have

an audience with you.
