The Other Side of the Last Boss

Chapter 95

Prev List Next

Finished my RL stuff, and managed to get a chapter out.

Since then, about a week has pa.s.sed.

I"ve been living without anything major happening.

They were peaceful days.

If I were to say there was one problem, it would be that Iris wasn"t energetic.

Yufilia asked her about it.

"About that, the other day a large amount of followers quit."

Iris had a serious expression.

"Weren"t they steadily increasing recently?"

Yufilia asked curiously to confirm.

"Yeah, that"s why I"m wondering why."

"If they didn"t become atheist, they you can only think that they entered the Daguza Faith or the Angas Faith."

"Tentatively, there are other various small religions though."

Tiraiza added.

"In the first place, what about the [2 year binding]?"

"They properly paid the penalty, and left."

"It"s not that expensive, but is there that much merit to changing your sect?"

"That"s true, the service doesn"t change that much anywhere you go."

Why did they enlist in the faith?

The most common reason would be because they were deeply touched by the teachings of their G.o.d.

These types of believers rarely change the G.o.d they believe in.

However, in this world many people who aren"t like that exist.

That"s because of magic.

Recovery magic. Something that can even call miracles and heal large injuries.

Illnesses can be cured to a certain extent.

Of course, if it"s possible you"d want them to cure everyone.

However, there aren"t that many users of recovery magic.

They won"t be able to respond if they get requested to heal people every time they get injured or sick.

Thus, when you use their services, they demand a large donation.

That"s why the general public will let their injuries heal naturally unless they really need it.

On one hand, it"s very difficult for normal people to use that system.

Moreover, the charges of using it when you really need to are high.

Because this arrangement wasn"t working out very well, there was a plan created as a solution.

If you"re a believer, then you can receive recovery magic at a reasonable price.

However there"s a limited number of times, and rank of magic that you can receive.

There are multiple plans for your number of times.

The followers offerings are monthly.

When this service began, it was widely accepted, and the current situation came about.

The reason that there are few people not in the 3 major religions is because this system was made.

"I"ll have the high speed 3G plan please."

"What? When it comes to this topic, you keep saying things I don"t understand."

Tiraiza tilted her head.

Well, the people of this world wouldn"t understand.

"Well, if you scout out the Daguza Faith and the Angas Faith won"t you learn something?"

"But, most of the staff there know our faces."

Iris made a difficult face.

"Iris is famous among people involved with religion."

Yufilia shot an aizuchi.

"Indeed, it"d be difficult to scout them out."

Tiraiza seemed to be pondering some ways to go about this.

"Well then wouldn"t it be okay if you disguised yourself?"

I told them the strategy I came up with.

Rather, I feel like thinking more would be a pain in the a.s.s.

"Well……that might be fine, but I"m uneasy to go alone."

"The should I go too? I just went there recently, so I won"t need a disguise."

The 4 of them gathered together at my words.

"Isn"t that……"

"Just the 2 of them alone?"

"It"s that right? Well, I guess the time has come."

Yufilia, Tiraiza, and Jamie matched their breathing, and spoke.

"Th,that"s not it. It"s not like that. In the first place, we"d be in public."

For some reason Iris was panicking, and waved her hand to deny something.

"Hou, what are you intending to do if you"re not in public?"

Tiraiza narrowed her eyes.

"Awa. Awawawawa."

"We can"t help but count this."

Yufilia said "Umu", and didn"t let her speak.

"This is the your first one."

Jamie also nodded.

I"m not quite sure what they"re talking about, but for the time being, I decided to go.

Since she was disguised, Iris came to the meeting place in different clothes than normal.

Her top was a yellow parka, and on her bottom were hot pants.

She was also wearing a hat and sungla.s.ses, so I didn"t even notice it was her until she called out to me.

"I,is this much okay?"

Iris asked me anxiously.

"They"re alright. Still, you had clothes like this?"

"Wa, yeah. I bought them in a hurry."

Iris looked down and acted shy.

Her face was hidden by her hat and sungla.s.ses, but her figure alone would nail down men"s gazes.

Putting aside her outside garments, the destructive power of her hot pants were outstanding.

Her normally hidden hip lines could clearly be seen.

Her bare thighs were plump, and were just what a man would like.

"I guess it wouldn"t be great to stand out too much. We"ll be suspected."

I said that, we corrected our att.i.tudes, and transferred to a place a little bit away from the faith.

We were careful not be judged as people related to the faith.

When we visited the Daguza Faith, we didn"t really learn anything.

Iris" disguise was perfect, and we were able to escape the building without being found out.

"Fuu, I was nervous."

"Since you disguised yourself that much, it seems like we were found out."

"But the staff members, particularly a portion of the men’s" gazes were cold."

"Ah, that was a warm gaze that"s only sent to peculiar men. Don"t mind it."

"Haa……?"

Iris was unable to understand and tilted her head, but I"d be troubled if she understood it.

Our next destination, the Angas Faith is right nearby.

When I looked over there, there was already a crowd.

"Why are there so many people?"

I can hear their conversation with my Evil Ears.

While listening to that, I approached the Angas Faith building.

"Is it true? You"ll pay the penalty fee for us?"

"Uf courfe. We"re currently having a campaign for changing from uffer faifs."

The Cardinal or whatever fat man gave an explanation.

He seems to be named Nicholas.

Among those listening to him, there weren"t few Bridget Faith believers.

Seeing that, Iris received a shock.

"E,everyone why?"

"Young lady, are you interefted too? We"re in the middle of a camfaign."

It"s difficult to recruit believers due to the 2 year binding, but if they say they"ll pay for it, then there"d be no demerits.

However, that alone won"t become a reason to gather this many people.

"That"f twoo. There is a reason that so many people haff gafered."

That man pulled out a leaflet.

On a big headline, they spread the news of a new campaign.

"Seriously, I"m troubled because the world is filled wiff idioff. To think that they couldn"t even come up wiff a campaign like thiff. I"d like them to learn from thiff Nicholas-sama."

While showing off, Nicholas raised his arms and sighed.

"Cash back plan?"

Iris read what was written on the leaflet out loud.

"Yeah. We"ll pay the penalty fees. Not only that, we"ll return addifional money."

"Rather than returning, isn"t that just giving……?"

It seems that Nicholas didn"t hear my muttering.

"I,if you do this, the entire faith will go into the red."

"That much doefn"t matter. Rather, why do you care fo much? Are you a fy from fomewhere?"

"Na."

Iris panicked.

With her reaction, we were completely found out.

"From the way you"re disguifed, you feem to be pretty high up."

"Th,that"s……"

"Well then can you take off your funglaffef and hat?"

If she didn"t take them off, that"d be the same as admitting it.

Iris gave up, and reluctantly took them off.

"Ah, high priest Iris!?"

A former believer of the Bridget Faith raised their voice.

"Hou hou, fo you"re the rumored high priest Irif."

Nicholas made a lewd smile.

"You"re rumored to be a fainteff. No no, you live up to your reputation. Fo even high prieftf can convert religionf."

"There"s no way that"s the case!"

Iris" voice was mixed with anger.

"Swaying people"s hearts with money like this is blasphemy to G.o.d!"

"Unfortunately, our G.o.d approves of doing such things with money."

"I"m the servant of the G.o.ddess Bridget, but I know a bit about Angas. There"s no teaching for that."

Iris declared.

It seems like she learned a little about the doctrines of other religions too.

"No, there if."

However, Nicholas strongly spoke back.

"Af for why, it"f becaufe I judged there waf. My feat in my religion if number one, fo my interpretation of the doctrine if correct."

I can"t see him as being very intelligent.

While I was thinking that, I heard the voice of an Angas staff member with my Evil Ears.

"Well, that seat was bought with the power of money though."

Indeed, he was Scottyard royalty.

That much could be easily done.

"That"s wrong."

"I"d like for you to not fpeak of other religion"f polifies."

Nicholas was fed up with Iris since she didn"t back down.

"I can"t silently watch as you lead people in the wrong direction."

"Fumu. Then would you like to haff a match?"

"A match?"

"Yeff. A match to fee who can get more followerf by next month. If you think our polifies are wrong, then prove it."

"Fine."

"The lofer will listen to the winner. That"f okay, right?"

Nicholas laughed indecently.

"Hey, there"s no need to accept……"

I grabbed Iris" arm and tried to stop her, but Iris shook me off.

"I understand."

When Iris agreed, Nicholas laughed as if he were having fun.

While thinking that this had become a pain in the a.s.s, I took Iris and left the spot.
