Saint Seiya: This Gemini is a bit of a trap.

The Pope's actions were clearly a deliberate attempt to release news of the Gold Saints' return, both to intimidate potential enemies and to prevent the still-developing young warriors from being overexposed.

Jia Long felt it was unnecessary; such things couldn't be kept secret from someone who was interested.

Shion is old.

They tend to overthink things and consider too many possibilities.

He seems to have forgotten that Saint Seiya always settles things with their fists!

This includes dealing with those allies who are eager to cause trouble.

They actually want to reform them?

What can we use to influence them?

With love?

If it were Black Sasuke, he would definitely send out the Gold Saints to suppress all those who dared to resist!

If it were Jia Long, he would use both carrot and stick tactics.

However, the Sanctuary was not up to the two of them to make decisions. Even if Jia Long disagreed with Shion's actions, he could only carry out the Pope's orders.

As per Shion's instructions, the young warriors left their Gold Cloths in the Pope's Chamber, to be retrieved only when they were on missions.

The young fighters had no choice but to obey orders, even though they were unwilling.

Actually, this is quite unnecessary.

The best place to store the Gold Cloths is in the zodiac constellations in the sky.

When the little warriors have a mission, they can simply be summoned.

Moreover, aside from a few individuals, it wouldn't be a problem to have someone skilled in spatial abilities like Jalong, Mu, or Shaka by your side.

But as I said before, the Holy Land is no longer under their control.

The young fighters had no choice but to continue descending the mountain in their fighting uniforms.

I just came down from the sacred mountain.

Milo and Aphrodite then approached Jalon, acting as if they hadn't seen each other in a long time and even missed him.

Milo, in particular, had red eyes!

"Garon, I heard that Senior Sister Yura was injured yesterday. Did you take her away?"

"Yes."

"Wow! Tell me quickly, how does it feel?"

"Soft, very soft."

"Don't try to fool me. That's what you said last time. I heard that Senior Sister Yura's bandages and mask were torn. You must have seen it all, right? How did it feel?"

"White, very white."

"Sigh~"

Milo's nose started bleeding again, much to his dismay.

Aphrodite, on the other hand, was concerned with a different issue:

"Galon, you already have the Little Mermaid, and now you've seen Senior Sister Yura's face. What are you going to do in the future? Mom says it's not good for boys to be fickle."

Upon hearing this, Milo, who was covering his nose, nodded repeatedly in agreement:

"Yes, Galon, you're both a mermaid and a peacock. Will you choose to be a mermaid knight or a peacock knight in the future?"

"Only children make choices like that..."

Jia Long disagreed, saying:

"Riding a mermaid in the sea, riding a peacock in the sky, is that contradictory?"

"Uh...that makes sense."

……

As they spoke, the group had already entered the Grand Canyon.

The Pope's order to them was to return and move into the Zodiac as soon as possible, but the young warriors had similar ideas to Jalon.

In a place where even dogs don't live, every minute you can delay is a minute count!

So, from the moment they started descending the mountain, everyone was trying to dawdle, but once they reached the Grand Canyon, their speed suddenly increased.

Because Alubio was waiting for them there.

The young warriors felt a far stronger connection to Albiot than to Pope Shion. From the moment they arrived at the Sanctuary, Albiot had been their mentor, accompanying them on their journey of growth.

"Teacher Albio!"

"Congratulations!"

"You know we succeeded?"

"How could we not know? The legendary warriors have appeared and the Zodiac has reappeared. Now half of the Holy Land knows about this news. It's not even worth a picture anymore."

"Uh~ it's only been less than half a day!"

"In short, you have not let me down, and I am honored to be your mentor!"

Looking at the young faces before him, Albiot said with deep emotion:

"Now I can leave the Sanctuary with peace of mind."

"What, are you leaving the Sanctuary?"

The young warriors were surprised, but judging from Albio's attire, he did indeed look like he was about to embark on a long journey.

“My mission to guide you is over. Evil is now resurging around the world, and Homer of Lyra has fallen on the southern front. I am going to take his place and continue the fight.”

"But didn't Senior Homer already seal away the Beast King Enkidu?"

"It's just a temporary seal. There are still remnants of the Beast Warriors wreaking havoc everywhere. Moreover, Enkidu, the Beast King, is only one of the four Hero Kings of Mesopotamia. Besides him, there are three more terrifying Hero Kings!"

Seeing the little fighter's worried expression, Albio laughed heartily:

"There's nothing to worry about. That's just how Saint Seiya are. They're either fighting or on their way to a battle. You'll be just like me in the future."

"But you've only been back for a few days, and you're going on a long trip again. Won't your master's wife beat you up?"

"Uh~"

When his students brought up his sore spot again, Albiot couldn't help but rub his slightly swollen cheeks, recalling his wife's reluctance to leave him:

"What?! Another mission? And I'm going to have to look after Jenny all by myself again?"

"Why is it so hard to expect you to stay home, stay unemployed, and take care of the kids?"

"Even a dog on a leash at home is better than you!"

"Snapped!!"

What a happy worry!

Albio said while rubbing his cheek:

"You don't understand. However, this mission of mine will indeed last a long time. It's not easy for your master's wife to take care of the family alone. If you have time in the future, please help your master's wife look after Jenny."

Speaking of which, my precious daughter has always wanted to be a Saint Seiya warrior... It's such a headache!

"Okay, we'll definitely take good care of Junior Sister Jenny. We'll beat up anyone who dares to bully her!"

The little fighters made their solemn vows.

"No need for that. It's good enough that she doesn't bully others. Alright, Saints don't have so much sentimentality. I should go now."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I forgot to announce:"

Since you have passed your graduation exams, the first tier of reserve fighters is disbanded, effective today!

"Farewell, young Gold Saints!"

After saying that, Albiot waved to the young fighters and turned to leave gracefully.

"Teacher Albio, thank you for your teaching!"

As they watched Albiot's departing figure, the young warriors bowed in unison in respect.

Upon hearing the young warrior's heartfelt tribute, Albiot paused slightly, but did not turn around, and strode out of the canyon.

Only after Albiot's figure disappeared did the little warriors raise their heads.

Everyone looked very sad.

Although the Sanctuary does not have a strict master-disciple or father-son relationship, it still respects teachers and values ​​the way of the master. Albiot is their mentor and the closest person to the young warriors in the Sanctuary.

"Speaking of which, Albiot-sensei has already left, why hasn't Shaka come back yet?"

"Who knows what His Holiness the Pope wants to do by leaving him alone?"

"What else can we do? We have a mission!"

I heard that a great calamity has recently struck Shaka and Yura's hometown, the Land of Buddha in the East!

Chapter 78 Joys and Sorrows! Life in the Gemini Palace

Milo is a top-tier gossip.

However, the Eastern Buddhist Realm is too far from the Holy Realm, and Milo is currently trapped in the Divine Might Prison, so he doesn't know much about it.

Having only heard from fellow inmates that the great calamity that broke out in the Buddhist realm was related to demons, Warden Yura rushed to the Buddhist realm overnight last night.

Today, the Pope kept Shaka alone again.

It is clear that the troubles in the Buddhist realm are far greater than imagined.

However, as mentioned before, the young fighters were powerless to help even if they wanted to.

Milo is going to the Divine Prison to serve his sentence.

The others will be imprisoned in the zodiac.

Although everyone has become a Gold Saint, the Pope's discipline of them has only just begun, and Shion is not as easy to talk to as Albiot.
