Since she invited me to the Bridget Faith, Iris" gaze seems to have become interesting.

Or rather, unmistakably, the number of times that she"s looked at me has dramatically increased.

The other 3 seemed to have sensed that, and they made delicate expressions.

Unable to endure that situation, Yufilia and the others came to speak with me.

"What are you guys doing? It"s really suspicious you know."

Yufilia looked at me with her arms folded.

"We"re not actually doing anything though……"

I told them about my being solicited by Iris.

The 3 who heard that grandly sighed.

"Ah, it was something like that."

"What do you mean by something like that?"

I asked Tiraiza, but she turned her head the other way and didn"t answer.

"You two had a strange atmosphere. Even though you kept looking at each other, if your gazes met you"d both hurry up and look away."

Yufilia muttered.

Iris might have done so, but I didn"t avert my eyes.

"I guess it can"t be helped if she was inviting you to her faith. Iris is pa.s.sionate about things like that."

Jamie had distant eyes.

"Were you guys invited too?"

Jamie nodded to my question.

"Yeah. I refused because I believe in the Daguza Faith though."

Well, for adventurers and warriors, it"s common to believe in the G.o.d of battle.

"Tentatively, we were the same though."

Yufilia made a bitter smile.

"Rather than her being pa.s.sionate, I don"t have any interest in G.o.ds so I converted just as she told me though."

Tiraiza, who wasn"t really interest, spoke lightly.

I feel like there"s no point in increasing their followers like that though.

"Can you change beliefs that easily?"

"It"d be impossible for priests, but newcomers without much faith change all the time. Especially here in Briton."

"That by itself is a problem, so we"ve made an agreement."

Iris interrupted the conversation.

"An agreement?"

"Yeah. Once a newcomer arrives, there"s a rule that they have to stay in the same religion for at least 2 years. It"s called the [2 year binding]."

"Like a cell phone."

"What?"

There"s no way that the word or concept of cell phones from my previous world would be transmitted, and the 4 of them could only tilt their heads.

"What if you break it?"

"There is a penalty."

"For a religion, isn"t that too worldly?"

"That"s rude, it"s a rule that all religions have."

Iris made a slightly angry face.

"Well, that"s why we were just at the right timing, so Yufi and I converted to the Bridget Faith."

"We don"t do any activities or anything though."

"Newcomers are like that."

Without putting much thought into it, Tiraiza and Yufilia were having a conversation.

"That"s why, do you feel like joining?"

"Weelll,"

Well, if I don"t have to do anything that"s a pain in the a.s.s, I guess it"s fine even if I join.

Since I won"t be using it at all, there"s no point in me registering though.

"I don"t have a reason to enter, and I don"t see the merits."

"Hou, then you must want Iris to tell you about the wonders of the faith all night long."

Tiraiza narrowed her eyes to my answer.

"I refuse with all my power."

"Well then that"s a merit."

"At that point, isn"t this just threatening?"

I groan in a low voice.

"What"s my solution?"

"If you enter any of the religions, the [2 year binding] will occur."

"I can easily pay the fine though."

"Then you have no escape routes. If you seriously believe in Daguza or Angas, Iris will have no choice but to reluctantly accept it."

I don"t feel like seriously worshipping those G.o.ds.

If I"m going to believe in anything, it"d be myself.

"As I thought, there"s no choice but to have you experience the wonders of the Bridget Faith."

Iris was "Ufufufu" laughing creepily.

"Well, we have stuff to do, so……"

Seeing Iris like that, the other 3 hurriedly ran off.

Those traitors.

Iris grabbed my hand, and transferred away.

We entered the Bridget Faith"s head office.

While giving me a tour of the building, she must intend to give me an explanation of their greatness.

However, in a hurry, a staff member ran up to Iris.

"High priest Iris, just at the right time. It"s an emergency."

Hearing the staff member"s explanation, Iris nodded and ran.

"Sorry, but the faith also serves as a medical inst.i.tution."

The official apologized. They named themselves as Mick.

For light injuries they"ll often just apply medicinal herbs and get it over with, but for large injuries they have no choice but to rely on magic.

Thus, excellent healers are in high demand.

"It"s fine. I"ll be going now."

"Th,that would be troubling. They"ll get mad at me, so let me guide you."

"No, I"m not that interested in this building."

"Ah, I see……"

Mick floated a lewd smile.

"You were aiming for that."

"What do you mean?"

"Mufufufu. Are you interested in high priest Iris?"

Without listening to me, Mick talked on and on.

"Recently the Bridget Faith has been rapidly gaining male believers. They"re all aiming for high priest Iris."

"No, again,"

"Even if I say they"re aiming for her, there aren"t very many who are actually serious about it. She comes in contact with everyone without distinction, so they"re all satisfied with that."

"O,Oh……"

I draw back slightly.

Well, there"s no doubt that Iris is a beautiful girl.

The devout priest of the G.o.d of love.

Both as an adventurer and as a healer, she possesses high ability.

There"s also the fact that she"s a member of the hero party, so her reputation isn"t only limited to Rhodan.

Moreover, unlike many high ranking priests she makes contact with normal believers so there"s no reason for her to not be popular.

"That"s the case, so it"s fine to say you"re joining right?"

"No, that"s not fine."

"Mumu. Your pretty persistent. However, we have secret weapons for times like these."

Mick took out a picture.

It was a picture of Iris.

It was just a picture taken during her everyday life.

"Hehe. This is great right? Normally it"d go for 100 pounds a piece."

"That"s too expensive."

"There"s also a picture of her in light clothing in midsummer. On top of that, it"s really erotic. There"s a sale only for newcomers."

"Isn"t this bad in various ways for the religion?"

"……I think so too."

I heard a voice from behind me. I voice I know very well.

"Haaaaaa. High priest Iris."

It seems like Iris finished the treatment and hurried back.

Mick was violently upset, and attempted to escape from the spot.

However, his arm was twisted by Iris, and he became unable to move.

"You guys……it seems you don"t understand the teachings of G.o.d yet."

The look in Iris" eyes is scary. This is bad.

"Just wait a second, I"m not related to this."

"Dialogue is pointless."

Mick and I were captured, and taken to the confession room.

There, we were sermoned for several hours.
