Instant Messiah

Happy

Thanks to Alice, the staffing plan has been put together, so I'm going to say hello to Abyss.

That man is the key to this plan.

When I knocked on the inn room I was taught, Mr. Abyss, a neat outfit, came out in the room.

"Hello, Mr. Abyss"

"Oh, Nine, is that you? Welcome."

After all the public talk and exchanging recent developments with each other, Mr. Abyss still doesn't have a good reputation around here.

Then I suppose if I were based in a safe place where I could be recognized, I wouldn't have to hear bad rumors.

In order to maintain law and order, it seems that this person, who is constantly using the area around here as his main area of activity, is not going to change his base.

"But isn't it hard to be cold hit when you're doing the right thing?

"... yeah. Well, to be honest, sometimes I feel that way. But I think it's necessary."

"... Actually, I was worried about something similar. Precisely, you want to do the right thing, but you can't?"

"Hmm? You?

"I was looking after you in church now, but the priest there ran away at night"

"Oh my goodness... I wonder if it was difficult to fund... no, excuse me"

"For once, I have defiled the last seat of Sarianism. I thought if the church stayed dysfunctional, the hearts of the residents here would get rough."

"Well... it's never a good idea to say you're going to lose your mind"

As a matter of fact, I don't think anyone around here believes in God anymore.

He said, "I can't take the priest's place all of a sudden."

"... yeah. So is that... that's a tough problem"

I have trouble getting people to say, "Well, I'll send a replacement" or "I'll do it instead," so I'll fold it up.

The apostle must be a devout believer, too.

"This is because I still have loads of training there. I was foolish to think that if I had any track record in this city, I would also be allowed to act as a substitute for the priest."

"… Completion"

It's really there, though.

I'm just memorizing the whole scripture thing.

I don't have faith or shit, so I can't use magic at all.

"So I'm thinking about doing a theory to the prisoner that a very ordinary priest doesn't want to do..."

"Heh! That's a good idea!

"It's just that I'm a drifter. I think he's going to get suspicious and eat the front door payment."

"Oh, my God, is that so? Then leave it to me."

"Oh, is that good? No, I'm sure you were trying to ask me... isn't that annoying?

"What do you smell like water! There's no reason not to cooperate in spreading God's merciful heart and glory."

"... really, I just wanted to thank Mr. Abyss for his help... thank you"

That said, I bowed my head deeply.
