Chapter 299
Pope Romalis' POV
I made Serena-sama angry.
Despite being born a god, he was still a child. I had forgotten about that fact.
None of the priest, including the Eight Archbishops and the Sisters, had noticed.
This is not a state of "clouded vision due to faith."
It's something that everyone would notice if they thought about it in light of the fact that "I wanted to attend school in the kingdom."
The face he made when he handed me his coat was like that of a grandchild giving a gift to his grandfather.
Why didn't I notice at that time...?
If I had been more careful and attentive, I would have understood...
But I missed it.
From now on, I must build a relationship that is closer to his heart... or the child of God will slip away from us.
It is necessary to convey this to all believers.
But the most troublesome thing is this...

"We have to replace all the candidates!"
"Why, Pope-sama? We have gathered the ideal women from all over the country," said Priest 1.
"Yes, Pope-sama, using portraits of Marianne-sama, Cecilia-sama, and Shizuko-sama, we have assembled the perfect lineup..." Priest 2 explained.
"No, that's not good! According to what I heard from Serena-sama, someone who looks too similar to his family members is not desirable."
"Well, if I think about it, would I want a wife who looks like my close relatives?" mused Priest 1.
"If you have a crush on someone, that's one thing, but normally someone avoids people who look like their family members... I'm not sure if I would like a woman who looks like my aunt either," added Priest 2.
"So, what kind of candidates are you considering?" Priest 3 inquired.
"That's what I'm struggling with... there's a story that the Demon Kingdom is calling two fiancée candidates from another world, and the problem is that the Skull King has taken the story to the Lord of the Underworld Dragon Bauwer-sama... and it has been decided that a beautiful young goddess will attend the matchmaking meeting."
"""Goddess!"""
"That's right! And the two women called by Demon King Luciferd are said to be the most beautiful women in their world... I don't know who to introduce anymore... what should we do?"
"Pope-sama, we were considering a nun with an atmosphere similar to Cecilia-sama and a noblewoman who resembles Marianne-sama, but it seems like we're stuck now," confessed Priest 1.
"The Empire also sends a red-haired knight who resembles Frey-sama, and the Kingdom will go to Jimna Village to find candidates, in addition to the royal family member who resembles Marianne-sama. That was the plan. But it seems the plan failed," added Priest 2.
"But first, shouldn't we inform everyone about this information?" Priest 3 suggested.
"I already did... the Empire is giving up because they're at a disadvantage! The Kingdom, well, they messed up, so they can't back out and were pale with 'Is that so'."
"I see, we're at a loss too," lamented Priest 1.
"The other side has a goddess and two beautiful women from another world, so we can't compete with that with just anyone," Priest 2 acknowledged.
"Then, I have a hunch about one person!"
"Who would that be, Pope-sama?" Priest 1 asked.
"The ancient great sage Mel."
"Isn't that difficult? Her appearance is too..." Priest 1 began.
"Indeed, she still looks like a child, but her real age is several hundred years old, so she can be said to be of the right age..."
"I see, if we're up against two beautiful women from another world and a goddess, the only one who can compete is the great sage," Priest 1 conceded.
"That's true," the other two priests all agreed.
It was unanimously decided that Mel-sama would be the one to introduce.

I contacted Mel using the emergency communication crystal, but...
"Hahaha, I'm really happy... personally, I really want to go, but Ishtas-sama warned me not to touch Serena."
"From Ishtas-sama? Why?"
"Well...just between you and me, Ishtas, the son-con goddess, is his mother! My son... even though he only used Hero and us when the world was in danger, he threatened me with 'I'll make you disappear from this world' if I touched Serena... He's a great kid, but it's impossible."
"I see..."
"Pope Romalis, I'll give you a warning... if the woman you introduce is someone who offends son-con goddess, it will be a big problem... it's better to back out."
If even Mel can't meet the expectations and says that, I'm too scared to introduce anyone.
"Um, is it really that scary?"
"It is scary...think about it, Serena's wife is the daughter-in-law of the son-con goddess... and they will live together someday, won't they? So for me, I can't handle that!"
I see... the daughter-in-law of the goddess... Humans shouldn't be able to choose such a being.
If, by any chance, I introduce a bride that doesn't suit Ishtas-sama' intentions... I don't know what will happen.
"It's certainly impossible."
"Well, you should figure it out."
If it's impossible even for the great sage Mel-sama, then it's absolutely impossible.
After that, I talked to the kings of various countries, and it was decided to give up on introducing candidates for Serena-sama. Instead, the kingdoms, empires, and the Holy Church Nation decided to issue a 'passport' that allows free matchmaking with anyone.
The son that Goddess Ishtas-sama dotes on.
It's too scary to introduce women, I definitely can't do it.

Mel's POV
"Darn it, that son-con goddess, she must have done something."
It's unimaginable for me, the great sage, to have a stomachache.
I wonder if she's angry that I called him 'Son-con.'
"That's right... quite a way of speaking."
"Oh, Ishtas-sama, I declined the matchmaking... please stop."
"Of course... but you're his sister, so this is punishment for disparaging me as 'Son-con'... spend a day in the toilet."
Even though she's a goddess, she's not very popular.
With a mother-in-law like this, no matter how cute Serena-kun is, it's impossible.
Hello, we have a new project about someone who has returned from an isekai. The main character is a hero who has defeated the Demon Lord. However, for some reason, the human-demon war has resumed and will take place in the MC's original world. The MC, unaware of this, meets a Saint from that world and asks them to join the war. But what does the MC say? They refuse. Is it because their love was rejected by the princess when they adventured together in the past or are they simply fed up? And are the MC will join later?
