Confession is the sacrament of confessing one’s sins to God and receiving forgiveness.

The penitent and the priest enter the confessional room, where only one person can enter each, and confess through a small screen that only shows each other’s silhouettes.

It is an act of confessing and repenting of sins, but in reality, not only repenters come.

There are many people who tell different stories under the name of confession, perhaps because of the fact that they confess to a trusted priest in a closed room.

There are also cases where people simply confess their feelings to someone and put down their burden, or poor villagers who do not know exactly about confession come and talk about their simple concerns.

The chicken next door lays eggs so well, isn’t it a witch?

There is someone I like, but why doesn’t he look at me?

There are many priests who are stressed because time is wasted on these useless confessions.

But I can’t be angry with them for being naive, and I can’t kick them out of the confessional because of things like this.

As this continued, some religions even restricted the entry of nobles into the confessional.

Still, it was the belief that an educated aristocrat wouldn’t come to the confessional to talk about his worries.

However, in reality, only the number of confessions decreased, but the ratio itself was similar.

Everyone wanted to reveal something, and if the target was a priest who had to abide by the principle of not disclosing information, he could be relieved.

And today, a man enters the confessional room of Rutheria Church.

The man is a carpenter.

He is the head of a son and a daughter and has a harmonious family with his beautiful wife.

No, I thought so.

Her wife, who took good care of her children and believed that she only loved her, was in fact cheating on her.

It was also an internal relationship with her own friend for about 10 years.

“That day was the day the work ended early. I always felt sorry for not being able to pay attention to the house when there was a lot of work. I felt sorry for my family because I only changed clothes when I went home, so I bought a lot of duck meat that she likes. Went in.”

“Whoa… So what?”

Rai, sitting where the priest should be, leaned over and approached the curtain that blocked the middle of him.

In fact, Lai had no intention of going to confession.

What he was interested in was this space that only priests could enter, and once he entered and looked around, his interest faded.

Lai, who only found out that the space in the middle of the membrane could barely fit a fist could open and close, was about to leave when this man came in from the other side.

As soon as he entered, Rai was taken aback when he saw the silhouette of a man confessing without even stopping, but soon fell in love with the story that came out of his mouth.

There is no story as interesting as chijeong, so Rai listens to the words of this mysterious man.

“I sneaked inside, hoping to surprise you…”

“I entered…?”

“I heard her wife’s moans in her bedroom.. I thought I was keeping it a secret for fear that my sick wife would worry me while I was working, so I quietly opened the bedroom…”

As the man’s voice became watery, Rai couldn’t urge it.

The man calmed down his trembling breathing and continued his story.

“There… My colleague and friend were entangled with my wife. I couldn’t say anything in shock and ran out of the house. After I went outside the front door and collapsed in exhaustion, I could hear my wife’s moans and friends faintly for a while. I had to listen to the lewd words of

“Ugh… That must have been awful.”

At Rai’s words, the man nodded his head.

“Yes.. It was a pain I would never want to go through again. I was known among carpenters as being quite strong, but at that time… I didn’t do anything like a frightened goat. I went back to the workshop and slept with my eyes open. But… Come back later, do you know what’s funnier?”

“What happened?”

“I was eating the duck meat I left at the front door.”

I don’t understand what’s funny about that, but when Rai stays still, the man continues.

“Her wife greeted me with a bright face. And at her table, a friend of hers was joking that you didn’t come and he was eating instead…”

“Wow…”

It’s a story that makes your blood spurt just by listening to it.

If it were me, I would have grabbed my friend by the neck and asked him if he only ate the duck.

“They didn’t even know I was here and they boasted that meat was on the porch. God bless or something…”

The man’s voice diminishes.

As if he was crying, he could see a large body moving up and down through the curtains, and Rai looked at it with a pitiful look.

When I give him time to control his emotions, the man who has been silent for a long time speaks in a bitter voice.

“Priest, I want to ask God for forgiveness. Ever since that day, every time I see the guy who was my wife’s friend…, I have a desire to kill him. I hope that the bastard who betrayed me after beating everything up will suffer. This ugly thing What should I do with my heart?”

A man says something he doesn’t know whether he’s asking for forgiveness or seeking advice.

Rai, who heard everything he said, answered casually.

“f*ck it.”

“Yes, as expected, screw it up… Yes? You’re not forgiving?”

“Why do you forgive? If you’ve ripped someone’s heart, shouldn’t your heart be ripped too?”

The silhouette of the man on the other side of the screen is fluctuating as if he is panicking.

“No, that… Revenge is a sin… So…”

“The sins were committed by those humans. That, what. What should I call you, Mr. Carpenter? Mr. Carpenter is innocent. But why should Mr. Carpenter be heartbroken?”

“That…Isn’t it?”

“Yes, and if you don’t, can you bear to see the face of the pup that used to be friends with her wife every day?”

The man couldn’t answer Rai’s last words.

“But don’t break the head or anything like that. Murder is a crime.”

“Then how do you get revenge…”

“It’s not revenge, it’s punishment.”

After correcting the word, Lai comes closer to the curtain and tells the man who is listening to the solution.

“You have all the evidence? First go to that bastard’s workshop and f*ck him for adultery. Then go to the place where he lives and f*ck him for adultery. Are his parents still alive? If so, go and f*ck him there too.”

“Can I…?”

“Why not? It’s true that adultery is true. Wouldn’t it be a safe society if everyone knew about such sinners and be careful?”

“Is…Is it…?”

It wasn’t a priestly answer, but the man nodded at Rai’s words.

“Since he said he was a colleague, he must be a carpenter. Then, whenever he is commissioned, he tells the client to be careful because he is a married woman killer. f*ck his wife… Oh, sorry. I’m so excited…”

“Gwa, it’s okay.”

“Tell them to be careful because they might seduce their wives. If you keep repeating these things, they’ll become famous in Legandia and live or leave the city in disgrace. Then, Mr. Carpenter will have a happy ending.”

The man was confused by Rai’s bright voice, so he couldn’t say anything.

After a moment of silence, the man wriggles his big body.

“Thank you for your words. I don’t know if I’ll do what the priest said, but somehow my heart has calmed down.”

“Yes- no words. What will the child do?”

“I don’t know… I love them so much, but I keep suspecting they might be his children…”

“Don’t doubt it until it’s clear. Children are sensitive to the feelings of their parents. Even if you’re worried, please be patient and love them for now. If it turns out… Well, from there, Mr. Carpenter will take care of it.”

The man said thank you and left the confessional.

Is it a coincidence or is it because confessions are popular? As soon as a man leaves, a new one comes in.

When the confession, which he thought would only talk about the old-fashioned God, is more fun than he thought, Rai becomes excited and listens to people’s concerns.

“It must be the work of a witch! The cows I raised have contracted an unheard-of infectious disease. The red spots are sticking to the skin as if pricked with a needle. First time seeing it.”

“Huh? That’s not a witch. It’s a parasite, a parasite.”

Rye tells the man who runs the livestock business a solution. It seems that bugs that live in the eastern part of the continent have flowed here as the empire’s trade has become more active.

When asked to smoke the cow and bathe it in lye, the man doubts Rai, but replies that he knew it and leaves.

“I took a vow of chastity, but I broke God’s word… The girl I’ve always been with since I was a child… I couldn’t overcome my lust…”

“Yes, congratulations on escaping virginity. Have a pretty love. Next guest.”

“Has been possessed by an evil spirit. My head is dizzy and I keep seeing empty things. Things are just like hares…”

“If you have a headache, go to the hospital. Next.”

Not all conversations in the confessional are fun.

Rai, who is annoyed by the flood of customers, quickly loses interest and escapes by taking advantage of the quiet moment.

Those who listened to his words, as if they were nonsense, followed his advice.

Rye yawns at the thought of having to start another boring day the next day.

As the priests look at him after praying, Rai replies that he is sleepy because he started his day too early.

Despite being lazy, the priests giggle and cheer for Rai.

Abigail, confused as to whether the priests are good or whether she became close with all the priests in one day, is looking at Rai as the church door opens and a man enters.

The big man sees the priests gathered inside and strides forward.

I was afraid because of his big size and strong momentum, but the director steps forward and stops the man.

“It’s not time for worship, so believers can’t come in…”

“Thank you!!”

A tall man bows his head to the director.

“Are you the director who accepted the confession yesterday?! Thank you very much!”

“Uh… No, confession is forbidden…”

“Right! I’m sorry. This stupid bastard forgot that too.”

Abigail, who was holding Marge’s hand, slowly looks at Rai as the man hits his head and reflects.

Although he is smiling, his hardened expression is suspicious to anyone.

As Rai’s eyes met, he slowly backed away, and Abigail grabbed his sleeve so he couldn’t escape.

Holding Maji in her right hand and Rai in her left hand, she looks like a friendly family, but Rai is breaking out in a cold sweat.

“What happened to me…”

“I confessed yesterday and did as the priest said. My insides pierced! Rutera-sama punished them both. Thank you very much. I really didn’t expect to feel this way.”

Guessing that it was the carpenter whose wife was stolen by her friend, Rai sees him satisfied and nods his head with a hearty smile.

Of course, Abigail was still glaring at Rai.

“How am I going to repay this favor? Just say anything! You Jake! I’ll do whatever the church wants!”

“No. Ruterra-sama didn’t ask for what to expect and to give to others. If the followers are happy, everything is Ruterra-sama’s will…”

“Okay! Now I get it.”

The excited man is not listening to the director properly.

I wonder if it’s not a lie to say that he is a rather strong man among carpenters. He walks confidently among priests and looks around.

“The statue is old. Besides, it’s a ridiculous shape to express Ruterra’s holiness. My skill is second to none in Legandia. I’ll do my best to make a statue and present it to you.”

“I am grateful for Shinto-nim’s words…”

“No! Don’t you think the chair is going to break?! The church is old and the thorns are sticking out! You took good care of it, but it’s like this? How much did you spend?!”

It’s not a pulpit, it’s a recklessness.

The man who looked around the church and checked all the places where wood was used said that he would make all of them and donate them.

The director calms him down with difficulty and agrees with the statue and chair.

A man who did not listen no matter how much he refused, leaves the church boasting that he will make the best work.

“What the hell is…”

Looking at the door the man had left, the director said weakly, but that wasn’t the end.

“Thank you. It saved my life.”

“Yes?”

“Forgive me for my disrespectful thought when I was told to go to the hospital. Thanks to you, I was able to detect a dangerous disease early. The person who confessed to me is my lifesaver.”

Again, the director didn’t understand what he was talking about.

She says she saved lives thanks to her, she says she’s a grocery store herself, so she’ll dedicate good food every week.

The director refused, but then she said that once was enough, and the woman shook her head resolutely.

“I saved my life thanks to a priest I don’t know and Ruthera, so I have to repay the grace until the day my life ends. Please accept it. If you think it’s too much, we can share it with more people at church. Luteri Glue is always shared with those in need, so please allow me to share too.”

In the end, the director had to listen to the woman.

The chief is just perplexed as people who are moved by the confession he does not even know about continue to come to him, such as saying that a pastoralist will come next and give him milk every week, or that a certain noble will come and hold a wedding here.

Abigail looks at Rai.

The face that was nervous at first is gone and I don’t want to see the arrogant expression.

Lutheria Church, which was only poor, has improved its life a little thanks to many donors and church members who want to help.

Marge is just happy to hear that she can drink milk every day.
