Evil God Chapter 96

Somehow managed to finish my quota for the day……

"Why did you accept that match……?"

Yufilia made a grim look.

The next day, the usual 5 of us were talking.

"I'm sorry."

*Shun* Iris was shrinking.

"It's 'cause Iris gets hot with anything involving G.o.d. It can't be helped."

Jamie tried to mediate.

"Then Jamie, you think of a solution."

"I'll leave it to you!"

When Tiraiza retorted, Jamie immediately *ban ban*, hit her shoulder.

"Ow ow. Please stop hitting me with your stupid warrior strength."

Tiraiza stroked her shoulder.

"Putting that aside, we need to seriously come up with a solution."

"Sorry to bother you."

"It's okay, you saved me last time anyways."

Yufilia responded with a smile.

"How about we respond by returning their cash back too?"

Jamie said what she thought.

"Do you understand what'll happen if we do that?"

*Niyari* Tiraiza grinned.

"No, I don't at all."

Jamie smiled bitterly.

"To put it simply, they'd thwart each other. We'll be robbed of money by returning their cash back."

"But then the people who changed their faith would just profit."

"Yeah. That's why we'd raise the penalty for the [2 year binding]. I'm sure the other side has already done that though."

"While we're doing that, the faith's money would rapidly decrease. To cover the deficit we'd have to raise the monthly price."

Hearing that explanation, Jamie made a dissatisfied face.

"Why do serious followers have to waste their time on people who change their religion like that?"

"Yeah, that's why countermeasures are impossible. We can't beat Angas, or rather Scottyard which is behind them, in financial power."

Receiving Tiraiza's explanation, Jamie was convinced.

"In the first place, the stance of using money is blasphemy against G.o.d, so let's find another way."

Yufilia shot an aizuchi.

"Well, we have time so shouldn't we just honestly do some missionary work?"

When I said that like it was someone else's problem, Yufilia, Tiraiza, and Jamie looked at me taken aback.

"I think that half of this responsibility is yours."

"You should have stopped it then."

"You should think of the solution."

That's a terrible way of putting it, but it's troubling that they're making light of me.

"Then leave it to me."

"Eh, really?"

Yufilia was surprised.

"Competing with money is forbidden?"

Jamie voiced her concerns.

"Yeah, 'cause I have about 15,000 friends."

"I've never seen you with a friend. Ah, no, I've seen you with one person before."

Tiraiza looked at me suspiciously.

By one person, she means Adrigori from when we were picking up girls together.

After cla.s.ses ended, I transferred to the Dark Temple, where I have 15,000 friends.

"That's why I thought I'd consult you for a bit."

I consulted the corps heads at the Dark Temple.

About how there was a religious conflict.

About how I was going to lend a hand to the Bridget Faith, so I wanted them to register as followers.

After listening to my explanation, the corps heads looked to each other.

Well, it's rare for these guys to refuse my orders.

It's already been decided how they're going to answer.

"I refuse."

Morgan, the head of the 8th Corps cut through the silence, and refused.

"I don't wanna."

The 2nd Corps Head, Dante agreed with him.

He's a man with a good-looking face in his 40s.

"Eh? You don't want to that badly?"

I raised a hysteric voice.

"Ashtal-sama, you are our G.o.d."

"That's right."

Unusually, Adrigori and Jeko had the same opinion.

"Yeah, and?"

"We won't worship anything other than you."

Gareth and the other Corps Heads seemed negative.

"I believe the people below us will have the same opinion, since all the evil G.o.ds were born from you."

The old man gave a supplementary explanation.

In other words, their way of thinking is different from other people.

"You're our only G.o.d. This Bridget, a G.o.d of this world, isn't even a candidate."

"She's a woman after all."

Jeko commented to Adrigori's words.

They seemed to have a great reason.

"It's not like I'm telling you to seriously change your religion, just to register though."

Everyone thought over my persuasion.

"……If you absolutely need it, then I guess I could endure just registering."

Morgan responded reluctantly.

These guys were more annoying about their religion than I thought they'd be.

"It's just, I don't like that man."

The man Jeko spoke of was the pig, Nicholas or something.

"We should just kill that guy."

A Jeko-like opinion appeared.

"That's a breach of the agreement."

When Adrigori denied him, Jeko got into a bad mood.

"We signed up for a bothersome agreement, to not be able to kill someone we don't like."

"If you killed people based on your mood, humanity'd go extinct though."

Adrigori was taken aback.

"If that happened, there's a high possibility that our activities on the ground would end. It can't be helped."

I tried to stop their conversation.

"Then let's think of another way."

"Is that okay?"

Adrigori asked somewhat earnestly.

He must be ready to do it if I tell him to.

I drew back, so he might have felt sorry.

"I might ask you if there's no choice, but we haven't been cornered that far yet."

When I answered, everyone lowered their heads.

"Well then, we'll prepare ourselves too."

The old man said something I didn't really understand.

I wonder if it means that he prepared his resolve?

I decided to not think too deeply about it, and ended the discussion.

"Buhi. I've one more thing to look forfard fo."

In one of the Anglas Faith's religious facility's rooms, Nicholas seemed happy.

"Now that it'f come to thiff, it'f not the time to be doing experimentf. Let'f put the plan into action at onfe."

At his side was just one of the Anglas Faith's Rhodan branch priests, Dalipp.

Others avoided Nicholas, with reasons such as being busy.

It can also be said that they pushed this role onto the yound Dalipp.

"What do you mean by the plan? Ouch."

When Dalipp asked that, he was poked by Nicholas' uselessly extravagant cane.

"Remember with that little brain of yours. There aren't that many plans."

"N,no way, NMP?"

What Dalipp remembered was a plan that Nicholas confidently explained to him the other day.

"Yeff. We'll recommend that to Rhodan'f citizenf, and diftribute the leafletf in large quant.i.tief. Aff long aff they're not a really obftinate perfon, they'll come to worfhip Angaf."

"Is it alright if we test other plans? Ouch."

Dalipp was poked again.

"Finfe thif if a match, negligenfe won't be forgiven."

In order to win over followers, they had polished many plans.

They intended to gradually test them out, and see which ones would be popular, but the situation has changed.

"You defide the match by ufing all of your frength from the beginning."

"Owowowowow."

In a good mood, Nicholas continued rhythmically poking Dalipp.
