The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

Hino nodded: "As expected of the angel, you guessed the specific situation at the scene right away."

"The Church of Life stopped the Church of Elements' surprise attack, buying time for the Church of Darkness. Although the losses were not significant in the end, the Church of Darkness completed its absorption at the last moment, giving it a chance to contend with the Church of Elements."

If I'm not mistaken, the saviors from various churches should be heading to the capital of the Golden Rooster Kingdom, right?

Hino: "Yes, the decisive battle is just around the corner. But the people you've chosen don't seem to be ready to fight yet."

"In a sense, your mission seems to have failed."

You mean...?

“You’re right. Rather than letting other churches win, why not join us and help us defeat our final opponent? That way, you’ll at least be halfway there, won’t you?”

[You're really bold. No, I should say you're befitting reincarnators. Greed is practically your very nature. No matter the situation, you'll always try to get the biggest benefit for yourself.]

Hino chuckled softly, "Thank you for the compliment!"

Pusi, who had been observing from the sidelines, was speechless.

This doesn't seem like a compliment.

Although he really wanted to speak up and complain, the current situation clearly didn't allow him to get involved, so he could only silently watch the two bicker.

After a period of agonizing torment, Shino and the angel finally reached an agreement on the idea of ​​splitting their souls.

The moment the two finished speaking, the door to the confessional opened, and a bewildered Dinan walked out.

During that time, he first sat on the stool and recalled the bad things he had done, from asking tourists for high tour fees when he was a tour guide in West Dalla in order to make money, to peeping at his Aunt Jennifer taking a bath when he was a child.

He recounted everything he could think of.

To become stronger, the shame caused by such trivial matters is not worth caring about at all.

After recounting all the bad things he had done, he paused.

After all, it's easy to think of bad things, but the definition of good things is very vague, and he's not sure if what he's doing can be categorized as good.

Just like in a society, not doing bad things doesn't mean that a person is a good person.

It's also possible that he's weak-willed, lacking both the courage to do bad things and the ability to do good things, leaving him stuck in the middle, suffering between good and bad.

After hesitating for a long time, Dinan finally thought of a few things that could be considered good things, and after saying them, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, there was no obvious notification system in the confessional, so Dinan didn't know whether he had succeeded or failed.

He waited and waited, and suddenly felt a change within his body; a mysterious power appeared throughout his body.

As Dinan deeply felt it, a faint golden glow appeared in his limbs and bones, until it completely covered his body.

But soon, the fluorescence disappeared without a trace.

Dinan looked at his body, which was exactly the same as before, and murmured, "Is this... a success?"

Just when he was doubtful.

Click.

The door to the confessional opened automatically, and he walked out of it.

The angel's split soul, which had just finished the conversation, returned directly to Pusi's body, while Xinuo clapped and smiled: "Congratulations, you are now a follower of the Holy Church. From now on, you must practice the teachings of the Holy Church in your heart, and follow your heart no matter what happens. The gods will protect you."

Dinan nodded earnestly, "I understand, and I will certainly not let down the gods' favor!"

Hino turned to Pusi and gestured for him to go: "Come on, it's your turn next."

Pusi didn't want to join this holy cult, but just now, the old man behind him had reached an agreement with the terrifying woman in front of him.

Even if he didn't want to join now, he had no choice. After all, he had already compromised even his last trump card, so what was the point of his persistence?

Dinan exclaimed in surprise, "Pussy, you actually want to join? Just now you were looking down on the Holy Church."

Pusi smiled wryly and said, "It's too early to tell you these things now. Anyway, we can only go down this path to the bitter end."

Dinan offered a suggestion: "Do you need me to tell you some tips?"

Pusi shook his head and refused: "Forget it, if I need to cheat to pass this kind of test, then my life would be a complete failure. Let me try it myself."

After saying that, Pusi went straight into the confessional.

After the door closed, Dinan approached Hino: "Um..."

“You can call me Xino directly. Although the Holy Church has a belief in a god, the hierarchy within it is not clear. Even the Pope can be addressed by his first name by ordinary believers.”

Dinan nodded. "Alright, Lord Hino. I'd like to know, what should I do next? Or rather, how can I continue to grow stronger?"

Without a second thought, Xinuo said, "For this kind of thing, you can just go to town and find Li Xuan. He's free there recently, so you can ask him to come and help you."

Dinan asked in surprise, "Li Xuan, wasn't he supposed to go to the capital? Why is he in town? And at this speed..."

In Di Nan's memory, although it took him some time to set off for Baihua Village after he and Li Xuan parted ways, the distance from the capital to Baihua Village was obviously much farther than the distance from West Delhi to Baihua Village.

Hino didn't care at all and casually replied, "You should ask him about this yourself."

"All right……"

……

A short while later, Pusi emerged from his confession.

He scratched his head, seemingly still not understanding the situation.

Dinan immediately went to greet him, asking with concern, "How did it go? Did you succeed?"

Pusi said uncertainly, "It should have succeeded, but it happened so fast that I feel like I haven't quite caught up yet."

Dinan: "So, you seem to be much faster than me? Could it be that you haven't done enough good or bad things?"

Pusimo stroked his chin. "I was a little nervous at the time, so my memory is fragmented, and many things have been forgotten."

Dinan reluctantly agreed: "Yeah, that's just how you are, you always forget important things. But have you even forgotten what you've done?"

"No, it's just that it's been so long that I forgot."

Hino smiled and approached Pusi. "Very good. Now that you two have joined the Holy Church, let's go to town together."

Pusi asked, "Shouldn't we stay here and receive some kind of religious education? And..."

"Need not!"

Hino's attitude towards the two was noticeably colder than before. "What you need to do now is go find Li Xuan. As for what happens next, he will naturally tell you."

"Alright, I have other things to do, so I won't see you off. You'll have to make your own way to town."

After saying that, Xinuo turned around and went upstairs without showing any mercy.

Dinan: "..."

Pusi: "..."
