Chapter 92 – Church of Port Limpo vs Church of Frey
“Hehe… Hehe…!”
“Um, Shio-gong? Where on earth is the denomination?”
Approximately three hours have passed since the group of warriors walked toward the church where Shio’s body was said to be contained.
Her companions, who did not know much about Shio’s confident appearance and her route to the capital, followed her and walked together, believing that only Shio was her…
I walked…
No, I was still walking…
I walked endlessly…
“No, how much longer do I have to walk!”
“Huh?!”
In addition to the fatigue caused by the countless steps, I was also growling and hungry, so I began to become more and more irritated.
Maybe it was because she wasn’t usually considered the most trustworthy, or maybe it was just because she was stupid, but I just couldn’t trust her.
“Well, well… Actually, I think the road has changed a bit…”
“The road has changed…?”
“No, honestly, there’s nothing we can do about the change in road!”
Emil gave her a dumbfounded look, and she slowly backed away and sat down on the floor.
-Growling…
“I’m hungry…”
“Me too.”
“I’m hungry too…”
“Can’t we just go get something to eat?”
Except for Emil, everyone started to feel tired and a little irritated, probably because they were hungry and had been walking non-stop.
Normally, they would have beaten Shio together and walked as they pleased, but since this was a capital city where they did not know the way and there were many things they had never seen before, they could not show their usual confidence.
Everyone followed with the intention of believing in Shio one more time, but…
“Eek!? Why here again!!!”
“You actually don’t know, right?”
“It was a mistake to trust Shiogong…”
“Let’s just eat.”
“Stupid? Stupid.”
I once again trusted and followed Shio, but the result was once again in the same place… No, really, I was back where I was from the beginning.
Emil is angry.
Erina regrets.
Aya is hunger.
Karen is just absurd.
She was trying to find her own way by showing various emotions to Shio.
To be exact, just as I was about to leave Shio alone and go eat something, the situation changed as a woman wearing a blue outfit similar to Shio came running in from afar.
“Ho, could it be…! “Aren’t you a saint!?”
“You…”
“My name is Apprentice Nun Hibiki!”
I don’t know what happened in the church, but a woman who looked disciplined stiffened her body and began to answer with politeness.
When Shio suddenly saw a person belonging to the same sect as the Savior, his blue hair and blue eyes were filled with life, and he happily got up from his seat and started making a fuss as if he were on the verge of dancing with joy.
“Ahem! I give orders as a superior! Where is our denomination?”
“Eh…?”
“Speak quickly!”
Asshole.
A woman called a saint doesn’t even know where her church is, and she’s sitting there asking a member of her church, who seems to be much more advanced than her, where her church is.
A girl like that is a saint of the Order… What kind of place is the Church of Port Limpo?
“What are you talking about?”
“No… Well, it’s been a while since I came here.”
“Aren’t they behind us?”
“Eh…?”
Just in case, we all turned around and checked to see if there was a religious order.
The moment they turned around, water was lapping from a fountain that looked like a very brilliant statue of a goddess, and the Port Limpo Church, splendidly decorated with beautiful droplet jewels, was placed there.
“You were really behind me…?”
“You…”
“Shiokou, no way…”
“No! You guys didn’t know either… Wow!?”
It was an opportunity for all hero party members, who had not known that the cult was right behind them, to feel their helplessness and foolishness once again.
Obviously, if even one person had looked back, there wouldn’t have been an unfortunate incident while walking for several tens of minutes.
Perhaps to relieve their anger or to hide their shame, the group laid Shio down on the floor and began lynching him.
“Ahh!? Everyone… Evil! Don’t just take my word for it!? “Wow!”
“Is that what you’re going to do?!”
“I think Shiogong needs a little beating to come to his senses!”
“Just right!”
“Ehehe… Stupid.”
-Thudangtangtang!
-Pap-deuk-deuk-deuk!
-Ujijik!
“Whoa~ I feel refreshed inside.”
“I guess so.”
“Seo, saintess!? It’s okay… Are you okay!?”
Everyone didn’t hit him very hard, so there were only a few bruises on Shio’s body and no major injuries.
However, the traces of numerous lynchings, including dust and footprints, were etched all over her body.
Shio, who came to his senses again, slowly got up with his heels on his body and dusted off his body as if he was used to it.
It is a quick recovery.
“Hmm! Then, let’s go to the church for the first time in a while!”
“Let’s go!”
The combination of a saint and an apprentice nun is the strongest fanatic party that no one in the world can stop.
Let’s stop them. Who are they?…
“I’m hungry…”
“Aqua, please give us a favor… Please do something about it, starting with food…”
“Byungshin Church…”
It was the worst experience I had with the Port Limpo Church after a long time.
People were all lying on the floor starving or praying in front of the statue of the goddess, asking for something to eat.
At first, Sio went around to various places to find out why the situation was like this because the people in the church suddenly couldn’t understand why.
Emil looked at the goddess statue that looked exactly like Aqua that she had seen last time and took out her uni and slashed at her in the air several times.
Erina and Aya… Just held on to their stomachs and endured hunger.
“Hmm… I wonder what’s going on…”
“Aren’t you a saint by any chance?”
“Maybe the Pope?”
A person who appeared to be a certain age approached me and confirmed that it was Shio, then smiled benevolently as if he was happy to see me and began to ask how I was doing.
“Looking at her face, I guess she was doing well.”
“Ehehe… I guess it’s because I ate well and slept well these days.”
It’s good, but it sucks.
There are still dust and footprints on my clothes, but it looks perfect.
“But why did you suddenly come to the capital…”
“I briefly visited the capital in connection with a party member. But why is everyone so droopy…”
“Ahaha, it’s not that big a deal, but I’ll tell you.”
To roughly summarize what her grandmother, who was called the Pope, said.
It is said that the warehouse where food was stored in the church was destroyed on a rainy day, and all the ingredients were either spoiled or destroyed to the point of being inedible, so they could not eat anything for several days.
It’s ridiculous… But if there’s no food in the church, you can replenish it, right?
“Well, if you don’t mind… Is it okay if I ask you something?”
“What is it?”
“Did you by any chance not have money to buy food?”
“Oh hoho, actually, our church is short on money to erect another statue of Aqua.”
In the end, they tried to build another statue of the goddess with the money they spent on food, but they couldn’t eat anything and were starving.
We all stood still, looking dumbfounded at this stupid church.
However, Sio seemed to have decided something, and suddenly he climbed up to the place where the Pope and other dignitaries were giving speeches, raised his staff, and began to attract people’s attention.
“Everyone, focus!”
“Hmm?”
“Saint?”
“She is a true saint…”
After attracting people’s attention with her magnetic power, Shio began her speech as a saint, radiating blue light from all over her body.
“Look at you now. “Is it the behavior of a faithful believer to sit still and pretend that everyone is hungry and unable to do anything?”
“”No!””
“Then is it a good believer to just quietly pray?”
“”No!!!!””
Unlike usual, she began to persuade people at church with a very charismatic voice, like a saint who serves God.
Is a saint after all?…
“Then what should we do!”
“We must rob the Order of Frey!”
“Is that the correct answer…!?”
“Hmm!?”
“Oh?”
“Eh!?”
Why is the conclusion suddenly heading in that direction?
In addition to the Port Limpo Church, there is also the Frey Church, which is one of the most famous denominations in the kingdom.
Unlike the Port Limpo Church, which worships water and salt, it serves light and love, and although it does not have saints, it has many holy priests and is one of the most powerful religious orders that acts as a guardian to protect the city.
However, the problem was that the Church of Port Limpo and the Church of Frey sometimes thought of each other as rivals and did strange things, so it could not be said that the believers had a good relationship.
But suddenly you want to rob the Frey Church?
“That’s good~ Everyone is ready, right?”
“”Yes!””
“Eh… Eh!? That’s not what I meant!”
Shio also began to move around in panic, as if surprised by the sudden strange behavior.
“Everyone mobilizes!!!”
“”Wow, wow!!!””
This isn’t normal either.
It looked fun, so we decided to go along.
It similar on Axis qult and Eris qult on Konosuba 😎
