The hottest topic in Rhodan right now is the 3 major religions" compet.i.tion to win followers.

The street that had the 3 religious facilities on it was more crowded than usual.

The Bridget Faith worships a G.o.ddess and has many female followers.

Naturally, a large number of the staff members are women.

They asked their young staff members to wear some slightly s.e.xy clothing, and began soliciting followers.

That seemed to have some effect, and the followers were gradually returning.

Of course, it wasn"t anything that could reverse the situation though.

With that method, although we could collect male followers, we could only have light hopes for women.

On top of that, we got complaints from female followers.

There weren"t a small number of people who thought that soliciting like that wasn"t good.

There were also opinions that the men should do something too.

However, before we could realize that we were surpa.s.sed.

I"m looking at this street of religion.

Men with good bodies were soliciting women while half naked.

That was the strategy of the Daguza Faith.

The Daguza Faith had men, the Bridget Faith had women, and the Angas Faith had money.

It means that these were the strategies formed by receiving the influence of the doctrines of each of their individual G.o.ds.

Still, it"s not like it doesn"t feel like they"re mistaking the interpretations of their doctrines.

However you look at them, the solicitors of the Daguza Faith aren"t the type of men who prefer women.

They were the type of men that prefer squid types. (TLN: イカニモ系. It means anyone you can tell is gay at first glance.)

Probably, not many people will be caught by that.

I retort in my heart, and entered the Bridget Faith’s head office.

“Ah.”

Noticing that I came inside, Iris shyly hid her body.

Probably in the middle of a conversation, the usual 4 people were sitting in chairs and drinking juice.

“It’s not so bad of a costume that you have worry about it that much though.”

Tiraiza said that, but she’s not wearing the habit.

“Then Till, you wear it too.”

Jamie made fun of that.

“I don’t have the kind of body you can show to others.”

Tiraiza has a complex about her body.

So as to make it so you can’t tell her body figure, she usually wears loose clothes.

“Anyways, aren’t there a lot of people in this area today?”

Jamie looked around her surroundings.

“It seems like some illness is going around.”

Yufilia replied.

“Yeah, I might need to go to the clinic to help out.”

Rather, Iris might want to go there.

However, this is the Bridget Faith’s head office, so there are many who can use magic.

They were able to deal with it without any problems.

However, that day was nothing but an omen.

After a few days had pa.s.sed, the city became noisy.

The prevalent disease was a mysterious fever.

In just a few days, it had become widespread within Rhodan.

Since it could be cured with magic, up until now no casualties had appeared.

That relieved the government officials.

If it were a disease with a high death rate, then it wouldn’t have ended with just this much commotion.

Knowing it could be healed with magic, people rushed towards the 3 faiths’ facilities.

By now, they’re not even soliciting followers.

Not only Iris, but Tiraiza and Yufilia who could also use recovery magic helped out with the treatment.

If the symptoms were light, they could be healed with the beginner’s magic ‘cure’.

Above that was ‘refresh’.

The highest grade was a magic called ‘high refresh’.

These were used according to their symptoms.

“We’re pretty busy, but it seems like we’ll make it somehow.”

Yufilia must be tired, but she firmly spoke.

“Still, how did this happen?”

Tiraiza tilted her head.

“Tentatively the country’s investigating that, but apparently there aren’t any leads.”

“People who can use recovery magic are being spurred on to heal the illnesses after all.”

The Bridget Faith still had some leeway. That was because their followers were decreasing.

Then what about the Angas Faith, who recently collected a large amount of followers?

I went outside the Bridget Faith’s facility, and looked in the direction of the Angas Faith.

There was a big mess.

I skipped over that with Evil Sight, and checked on Nicholas.

“Why did thif happen!?”

Nicholas was yelling wildly.

Since they increased their followers, they needed to increase their number of people who could use recovery magic.

They called helpers from their home country.

With that, everything should have gone fine.

“A fever with an unknown cause seems to be prevalent.”

Dalipp answered fed up with him.

He must have had to repeat this exchange multiple times over the last few days.

“It’f troubling that the caufe if unknown. Thif if the government’f refponfibility.”

Nicholas said that, but to the followers, that was something they didn’t care about.

First, treat us. That’s all.

In order to keep this fever in check, there was a need to cast ‘cure’ everyday.

Even if you cured it, you’d be sick again by the next day.

Even so, if you just leave it alone it’d become severe in a few days.

Even for followers there was a limit on how many times they could receive recovery magic.

In the beginning, this was to the degree that just a light fever was produced.

Thus, there were many who just endured it.

After a few days had pa.s.sed, their conditions deteriorated and they hurried to the church.

At that time, high level recovery magic was needed.

“Our hands are tied. Increasing the followers came back and hurt us.”

Dalipp was sweating from his entire body, and was totally exhausted.

The mood outside had turned to the worst state.

“This is different from what you said! Weren’t we going to receive recovery magic cheaply!?”

“Get the person responsible for this out here!”

In response to their voices, Nicholas went out and tried to calm the crowd.

“Everyone, pleafe calm down. We don’t have an unlimited number of healerf or magic power.”

“You said that even if the amount decreases, you’d still have enough healers to deal with this!”

“We can’t deal with thif myfteriouf illneff. You fhould be complaining to the government.”

“Don’t f.u.c.k with us!”

The ones raising their voices are the ones that are still energetic.

There were many who weren’t though, and seemed to be suffering.

“I’m begging you! Just cast magic on my daughter! She has a terrible fever!”

The daughter was lying down powerlessly.

Since it’s a mysterious illness, it wouldn’t be strange for her to die at any time.

Well, though she won’t die it’s only natural for a father to beg for treatment as soon as possible.

“When it becomef that fevere, we’d need to caft the high level magic ‘high refref’. But we only have one perfon who can ufe that magic here. That perfon haf already collapfed. I apolgife, but come again tomorrow.”

“Can you definitely heal her tomorrow!?”

“I can’t make that promife.”

Nicholas was pressed by the crowd, and became overwhelmed.

I was watching that sight from the distance.

With this, the Angas Faith’s credit will fall to the ground.

No matter how cheap it is, there’s no point if it’s like this.

Not if it can’t be used when you really need it.

Rather, they’d be disliked for soliciting them and having such bad service.

Either way, people will head for the Bridget Faith because they still have leeway and excellent healers.

That’s what I thought.
