Chronicles of an Aristocrat Reborn in Another World – the Apostle of the Gods Who Know No Self-Restraint
Episode 30 Feud with the Church 1
Yesterday, the Minotaur steak, which had cooled down a little, was eaten to the end. Dash said, "I'll remake it!" When I thank Dash and Himika, I was terrified. I was afraid of being a lord, and my concern was getting worse, but I managed to calm down by asking me to respond as before. Although it has fallen into the territory, only some of them are there, and there is no problem with guards.
After staying in my usual luxurious room, I was thinking about what to do today while having breakfast at Cat's Retreat. As for the adventurer guilds, I was able to meet the guild masters last week, so the next one will be a church. Cain knew that he had to manage some healing magic that was more expensive than the other cities.
"It was a treat. Breakfast was delicious."
Cain ate her meal and spoke to Enak, who worked in the hall.
"Cain, will you go again?"
Enaku heard with a lonely expression.
"Yeah, today and tomorrow I have to do the job of the lord. I'll come to eat again."
Cain told him after lightly stroking Enak's head. Enak has a pleasant face. Dash and Himika also came out of the kitchen.
"Thank you, Lord, yesterday. Thanks to this, Enak has not been hurt."
The two bow down and thank them, but Cain tells him he's fine.
"Even so ..."
Dash nodded with a bitter smile.
"Also, be prepared to have something delicious. Please come again if you like."
Himika answered so next. And Cain nods.
"I'll be staying or eating next week again. Enak-chan is coming again."
After greeting him, Cain left the inn and headed to his residence. As soon as Cain was seen at the gate, one of the guards headed for Elive and one bowed.
"Welcome home, Lord."
"Yeah, right now"
Raising his hand to the guard, he enters the office of the manor house. Soon Elive came into the room.
"Oh, Viscount Cain, do you have anything to look at today?"
Cain nods to Elive's question.
"It's not too soon, but the Cabinet has arrived. I have to change the state of the city, and I'll get a man out of my father's shores of Garm. "I want you to do it." "... I'm a Cabinet Secretary ... I see. I'm going to consider where to stay." "Also, today's schedule. Can I meet a church priest in the afternoon? "
Cain had to go to church, including expensive treatment. Medical care is important for the future development of the city. There is no point unless anyone can receive it.
"The priest, Stag, isn't very much from the church ... or something ..."
Elive is puzzled to explain while sweating the forehead.
"It's good, I'm going to church from my side. I haven't been to church recently and sometimes I have to pray.
Cain had not gone to church since becoming lord. I think if you pray, you will meet the gods, but I also wanted to report. Cain scans the documents received from Elive and stamps the payment. I ate lunch in my office and changed into a little better uniform and headed for the church. Elive was trying to get a carriage, but she was still a lord and she was still young, so she wanted to see more of the city with her own eyes. Elive said at least she was just an escort. I checked that the church was a little south from the central square, and walked slowly from the lord's house while checking the cityscape. There is a certain amount of traffic, and the shops seem to be prosperous. There is also the Adventurer's Guild Hall in the central square, but we went through it and headed south. The church turned out to be obvious, because it was too large to fit in the city.
"Is a church of the same size as the city of Gracia needed in this city ..."
Cain thought and opened the church door. As soon as you enter, the receptionist is sitting.
"Do you pray today?
The reception lady called out to Cain who had entered.
"I want to pray today and see the priest here."
Cain carefully tells the receptionist. In response, the receptionist wrinkled the forehead.
"A prayer is a silver coin. Also, a priest, but I will not meet anyone who has no promises."
Prayer at church is an offering, not a fee. Cain wondered that the churches here set the price, although the amount could be determined by individual judgment. Moreover, one silver coin cost 10,000 yen, which was too expensive for a single prayer.
"Does this church specify up to the amount of prayer to pray? In other cities, the amount of prayer should be left to each individual."
Cain told the receptionist he was too bad.
"I don't want to say that to me. I'm just following the instructions from the priest. If you can't pay, please go home."
With a little louder voice, two church knights came out from behind. The church has its own knight system, and churches in the capital are dispatched to churches in each city. Wearing white armor as a part, you can see immediately if you look at it.
"It seems noisy, but what happened?"
One of the church knights came to ask the receptionist.
"This child has been stinging the price to pray."
Listening to the receptionist, the church knight turns to Cain. The church knight comes in front of Cain, kneels down and gazes.
"You're from another city. That's how it's made in this city. It's under the authority of a priest.
This knight did not seem to be a bad guy. However, the command of each city is basically the priest. This knight just seems to be following.
"It's okay to pay silver coins, but silver coins are too expensive for the public to pray for? I'm Cain von Silford Drintl, the new lord here. Talk to the priest. "
"""eh……"""
Knowing that Cain was the lord, the church knight and the receptionist were surprised.
"What can I prove ..."
One of the frightening knights asked me, and she showed me a dagger, a proof of the lord. The knight, who saw the dagger and confirmed that he was the lord, turned pale.
"I'm sorry. I'll check with the priest soon. Please wait."
One of the knights ran and disappeared. Within minutes of waiting, the knight is back.
"I'm sorry to be late. The priest Stag is going to meet you. I will guide you here."
The church knight guided me through the reception room. The drawing room was decorated with gold and silver jewelry, and the walls were painted with paintings. The drawing room was painted with gold, which was not considered a church drawing room. The same goes for the sofa on which you sit. It was a luxury item with softness enough to sink the buttocks. Sisters served the tea, but it was fragrant and tasty, and wasn't very well-marketed. After a short wait, a priest came in. No, it's a fat priest who can be mistaken for an orc.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I'm so busy ... I'm a priest here, stag. Nice to meet Viscount Cain."
Priest Stag sat on the sofa, shaking his heavy body. Just sitting alone, it weighs enough to creak on the sofa. Moreover, the smell of sake comes from the mouth. Cain wrinkled his forehead because of the smell.
"I'm Cain von Silford Drintle, the new lord of the city. I came to ask a question about the church here. First of all ..."
The battle in the conversation between Cain and Priest Stag began.
