The next day as soon as cla.s.s finished, Iris and I transferred over to the Bridget Faith"s head office.

The opposing Bridget Faiths" and Daguza Faiths" facilities were just as usual——no, more quiet than usual.

Instead, noise came from the Angas Faith, which was just a little away.

A crowd formed around the Angas Church.

"What on earth……?"

Iris knit her eyebrows.

She must have a bad feeling.

"Is it true? So what was written on the leaflet wasn"t a lie!?"

"Yef, of courfe. I apoligife, but pleafe wait for your turnf."

Along with the staff of the Angas Faith, the Cardinal Nicholas was dealing with customers.

Seeing us from afar from within that mess, Nicholas approached us.

"Fufun. Thif if reality. People purfue profit."

He handed a leaflet in his hand to Iris.

"The faith will pay for the penalties, and new converters will get a zero pound a month plan. We call it [really 0 pounds]."

"Did you need to put really in the name?"

Because I said that loudly this time, Nicholas looked over here.

"For treatment although it might be a small amount, you still need to pay. "Shouldn"t you give that for free!?" We need to countermeasures against claimer complaints like that." (TLN: A claimer, according to google is someone who insists on finding a fault to get free stuff. E.g. Complaining to a candy company to get free candy.)

"This is more serious than I thought……"

I muttered, amazed.

"Finffe we made the treatment costf free, patientf who just check the priffef come to uf."

If they could get it for free, there aren"t many people who wouldn"t come to their facilities.

I looked to the Angas facility that people are flooding into.

The Angas Faith distributed large amounts of those leaflets.

Seeing that, the Daguza Faith and Bridget Faith"s patients rushed over to the Angas Faith.

Then, the situation became that everyone began converting rapidly.

Since this morning, about how many followers converted?

"Wh,why did so many move……?"

Looking at that sight from the distance, Iris paled.

There aren"t just people with strong faith.

She must have known that, but she must be shocked that it"s this obvious.

"Thif if the power of NMP?"

"MNP?"

In my previous world, there was something called MNP.

It"s the abbreviation of mobile number portability.

In essence, you can change the company you"re contracted with while keeping your number.

If you changed your number, it"d be a pain in the a.s.s to inform everyone.

Should you tell those you haven"t contacted for years?

It"d be ridiculous to worry over who you should contact.

By the way, it"s also possible that the person you"re trying to get in contact with has already changed their number, and you"d receive a shock.

It was a ground-breaking solution policy to problems like that.

Of course, no numbers like that exist in this world though.

"NMP. Dalipp, ekfplain it to them."

A young priest accompanying Nicholas beagn to explain.

"Yes, it"s Nicholas-sama"s wonderful money plan, or NMP for short."

"Are you a performer from somewhere or something?"

"I don"t quite understand what you mean, but wiff thif, the match if fettled."

Nicholas confidently approached Iris.

"With thif movementf, it"f obviouf. Are you still going to continue thif match?"

"Ah……ah……"

Iris seemed to be overpowered, and couldn"t speak.

"Right now I"ll even kindly be affeftionate with you. If you"re ftubborn, I"ll have puniff you though."

Nicholas looked at Iris as if her were licking all over her.

"Don"t fool around with me! G.o.d won"t forgive this."

Iris suddenly pulled herself together.

"There if no G.o.d."

Nicholas gave a remark you wouldn"t expect to hear from a Cardinal, the highest executive of a religious group.

"What accursed things are you saying?"

Iris" face turned red with rage.

"If there waf one, it"f ftrange that they"re leaving the world in thif ftate. Why muft humanf continue to be terrorifed by demons?"

"G.o.d is unconditional and doesn"t help anyone. If they did, people would become depraved."

"People have been put in crifefef of deftruction many timef."

"Still, people overcome those."

Nicholas shook his head to Iris" words.

"Again, there if no G.o.d. Even if there waf one, they"re not a decent one."

This fellow said something interesting.

I narrowed my eyes, and listened closely.

"Are you insulting G.o.d?"

"I"m juft fpeaking the truth. There"f no G.o.d who"ll try to save you now."

"Although you serve G.o.d, saying that you"ll receive divine punishment."

"Fufu……if they can do, then go ahead."

Nicholas didn"t stop making his victorious face.

With trembling shoulders, Iris turned her face away.

Then she ran back to the Bridget Faith"s building.

"Do you have fomething you want to fay too?"

Asked by Nicholas, I thought briefly.

"You"re right."

"Hou?"

"I don"t think that there are G.o.ds in this world either. Not decent ones, at least."

Saying that, I turned back,

——That"s why, don"t resent me even if you receive divine punishment.

while saying that in my heart.

The next day. We all gathered in front of the Bridget Faith"s head office church.

There are also other followers who were feeling uneasy.

"This has become something troubling."

Yufilia knit her eyebrows.

"If there"s a religion that"s making it free, of course people would think the free one"s better."

Tiraiza gave an opinion as a proxy of those who aren"t very religious.

"In order to oppose this, we can only give them money each month, and ask them to join……"

"This makes you wonder exactly what faith is."

Iris was thinking seriously.

"No, you"ll just be troubled even if you seriously think about that though."

I pacified Iris.

Rather, for faith, it turned out like this because people were noncommittal about it.

"Either way, the other side will just add more money to that, so we have no way of winning with money."

Tiraiza shook her head to the side.

"That"s why we should think up another hand, but……"

"If it"s a hand, then we have one!"

Suddenly Mick, a staff member of the Bridget Faith stood up.

"……Just in case, let"s hear it."

Iris seemed to already have a bad feeling.

She knit her eyebrows.

Mick took out the clothes he prepared.

"You have to wear this and solicit men."

It seemed to be a remodeled habit, the skirt was short, and it was made to show the chest.

A slit was attached to the skirt, and it was made to expose the thighs.

It was a s.e.xy costume with thin fabric.

"How shameless……"

Although Iris might think that, it"s just at the level of being a slightly s.e.xy costume.

Even I can endure just this level of clothes.

In the sense of my mystery language.

"You can make the men fall instantly with this. We have 4 peerless beauties here, we can do it!"

"By 4, you mean we"re included too……"

Yufilia made a bitter smile.

While considering whether they should wear the clothes, wouldn"t they be displeased by being complimented for their appearances?

"Yufi promised that she would cooperate."

"Oh, Till, you"re not going to help out?"

"Wearing these clothes is a little……even size wise."

"I properly made children"s sizes too."

"Who are you calling a child?”

Tiraiza suddenly fired a fireball out of anger, and Mick exploded and was blown away.

"Mick-san……I won"t forget about you."

The followers pray for his soul.

No, she held back so he didn"t receive that much damage though.

"An,anyways, we won"t do something like that."

Iris blushed, and denied it.

"However, we currently don"t have any other hand that could possibly reverse the current situation."

Mick casted heal on himself, and got up while staggering.

Even though the Bridget Faith was somewhat superior until the other day, the number of followers in each faith were equal.

After suffering from the [really 0 pounds], about how many will flow away?

Although we still don"t know the details, it can be surmised that the Angas Faith"s share will exceed 50%.

It won"t be easy to regain that.

"Since the people are converting for money, we need to do something unrelated to money."

"Still, to tempt people with such things……"

*Purupuru* Iris was trembling.

"The G.o.ddess Bridget shouldn"t forgive something like this……"

"That"s okay. Look at that."

What Mick pointed to was the marble statue of Bridget.

"What about the G.o.ddess" statue?"

"Sleeveless clothes that let you see up until her shoulders. Her chest is open. In other words, the G.o.ddess approves of such clothes!"

"Ce,certainly."

Iris admitted that her opponent"s logic was correct.

In the first place, even I don"t know about the ancient G.o.ds.

I"ve never seen their figures or silhouettes, and they probably died in the ancient war.

Naturally, there"s no way I"d know their figures.

"Still, a short skirt with a slit is a little."

"The G.o.ddess is the G.o.d of love. Rather, isn"t this suited to the G.o.ddess?"

"Is that so……?"

Yufilia voiced her doubts, but Iris was getting convinced.

"At this rate, you won"t end up in just that outfit."

Tiraiza made a remark that pushed Iris on the back.

What will happen to her if she loses the match?

I don"t really want to imagine it.

"I have no choice but to do this."

Iris prepared herself, and stood up.

"Oooooooh!"

The guys got worked up.

From the next day on, the Bridget Faith"s female staff members began soliciting in these costumes.

Although it had some effect, it wasn"t enough to overturn the situation.

It seemed to be popular among men, but unpopular among women.

It didn"t really go well.
