Nineteenth report: Beginnings, weaknesses and lack of action

I didn't wake up well.

Less than ten days after he was appointed to the Demon King crusade, he never woke up well, including before he kicked the party out of Fujido.

Until now, I've been fighting alone. Depending on the assignment, there were collaborators, but most of them were content that I would solve if I worked hard on my own.

The heretical exterminator (Crusader) of the heretical exterminator church (Out Crusade) is a kind of dark part of the church, and its actions have hardly been made public. If you are a monk of the same church (Priest), you know that the black ring is a sign of belonging to the heretically annihilated church (Out Crusade), but that's all.

Almost the majority of humans don't even know what that ring means, and externally, the heretic exterminator (Crusader) looks like just a monk (Priest).

The annihilator, who wraps dark rumors and hangs dark nights when demons activate, is contrary to some of the Church's doctrines, and by its very nature there are many individualists. We build our strength and shoot our enemies at our own risk.

But not this time. The job of supporting brave men who can't predict how to move, not just annihilating heresy, is more stressful than I imagined.

"Good Morning"

"... oh"

It was still dark outside the window, but the lights were already on in the room.

Returns a frivolous reply to the first word thrown in a long time and wakes himself up slowly.

Next to the bed, Amelia was looking down, dressed in a deep blue coat different from yesterday's clothes and ready to go. It's still early in the morning, but that look doesn't make me feel anything called drowsiness.

White ring embedded in left hand pharmacopoeia on earrings worn on left ear. There was a sister there with no gaps whatsoever.

Yesterday's attitude seems to be a lie. I have a headache for some reason that it's supposed to be a good trend for a shift in attitude like fraud.

Are you wearing a cat, or was that yesterday some kind of mistake? I want to believe that it is the latter, but looking at what happened yesterday, it just seems like the former.

"It's a bad quality joke"

I shook my head twice and three times, sighing. Look around the room.

The twin room with two single beds is much larger than the room we stayed in until yesterday.

The bed next door should have been used by Amelia, but it is neat as if it were unused.

In the corner of the room stood the luggage I had brought, Amelia's luggage, and a mace about two turns thinner than mine.

This new partner has great guts.

There's nothing you can do in the case of Nojuku, but it's risky to have a bedroom with a heterosexual who's not your lover either. Not to mention that that's almost the first time Amelia and I have ever met each other.

Naturally, you stopped me from trying to take two single rooms and decided to take a room for two, because Amelia screamed once and for all to save money.

I'm sure it's cheaper to have one twin than two single rooms, but even though I'm not in trouble with gold, that gut of choosing one myself diverges greatly from Sister's area, which is generally considered prudent.

I look more like a fool's land than I do with great courage. You think I won't be attacked because I'm a monk (Priest)?

No, there's no way that my ex-operator girlfriend doesn't know I'm any different from the average monk who follows doctrine quietly.

Without answering my words, Amelia has given me a carefully folded coat of law with a look like she was there and deserved it.

The sound of the wind knocking on the windows. Apparently, the weather wasn't nice yesterday either, but it's not very good today either.

"That's fast."

"I have a morning prayer."

"... you're like a devout man"

When I was at Fujido's party, the time I woke up was long before everyone woke up.

It's been a long time since I've been on the side of getting a morning greeting.

Amelia answers my words unexpectedly with a flashy look.

"Mr. Ares, I'm definitely a devout man"

"... you did. Sorry."

Yesterday's first contact caused me to have an image that was quite unplugged, but it's true that yesterday's conversation was nothing else against the doctrine, and there's no way I have the right to speak out to me about the doctrine, more than the ex, for not keeping it.

Just finishing up my morning routine, I turn back to Amelia, who was staring at this one for what's funny.

I am telling you about the situation of the current brave man yesterday. From today on, it's mission time.

"I can ambush you in church. The results of Fujido's tests should change the movement."

"Yes."

"I'd like to talk to Fujido, if possible, and have some control over future movements. I have a cracked face, so contact will be Amelia's job."

I'll take it once and for all, but I don't think I need to use the mask.

Taking my word for it, Amelia nodded faceless and small, not likely to feel confident.

"... you can say no if you want me to come into the party, right?

"... oh. Of course I don't mind turning it down. I don't care if you come in."

"I refuse"

I turned my face away from Amelia, who lurked her eyebrows in a joke I had put out in earnest.

I'm fine with one person, so I guess I'll come into that party with some mistake. No, really.

That would greatly relieve my burden...

Wouldn't that be more of a support than anything?

§§§

Holy art (Holy Play) is a miracle of God.

Deepening faith supposedly increases power, which, if seen only as a consequence of being aroused, does not appear to be much different from witchcraft, but is technically regarded as a completely different force. Therefore, the headquarters of the Church does not use the word magic to refer to sacred art, but uses the word divine law.

Generally speaking, the word magic is better conveyed, so I and the Priests who run the monster hunt often use the word magic, but sometimes the Priests who work in the Church's main mountain will have a bitter look when they hear it. Well, it doesn't matter.

Priest proficiency certification takes place in the chapel.

Helios and Fujido stood facing each other in front of the altar.

Behind it lies some worrying remiss of expression and a hard looking aria, behind which Amelia stands in the name of assistant.

Despite the bad weather, the number of guests is small.

Fujido and the others didn't notice me getting to one of the dozens of seats wearing the hood deep and disputed by worshippers.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with me being in the chapel, which is Priest, even if they notice.

Raise the hood to such an extent that the gaze is not blocked, and observe Fujido taking care not to split.

Are you tired, or you can even see a thin neighborhood under Fujido's eyes? But I guess I'm confident. I don't see any anxiety in that look.

The distance to Fujido was more than ten meters, but the conversation was heard as long as consciousness was focused on hearing.

"We will now conduct Fujido's Proficiency Certification"

"... Yes"

"God give your faith the miracle it deserves. If you can exercise the miracles I'm going to describe in turn and determine that you have been given enough miracles, you will pass."

"... ok"

Fujido replies with a serious look to the explanation that goes on solemnly.

Priests like those working at church headquarters also require knowledge, but most importantly for Priests it is a miracle. Because, by doctrine, miracles are supposed to reflect faith.

And that information is not necessarily a mistake more than prayer increases your abilities.

Fujido has gained protection from the Eight Spirits Three Gods when summoned.

The Eight Spirits refer to the Great Great Spirit of the Eight Pillars, and the Three Gods refer to the Great God of the Three Pillars. AZ GREED The god of order to which the monks of the Church of AZ GREED serve AZ GREED is one of the pillars of the Three Gods, and there is probably no miracle that cannot be used for the vineyard, which is strongly protected by it.

Now I can't do a miracle without a prayer celebration yet, but sooner or later, like me, I'll be able to use the sacrament only by the name of a miracle.

The test is initiated.

I don't even know what I'm looking at, and I'm going to use the technique that Helios requests.

The chants, the ceremonies, everything I taught you, it's perfect. He's not retarded. The general spell is remembered at one time, and the movement of cutting the cross is different from the original and sophisticated.

Blessings (braces), healing (heels), aids (buffs) and unjeopardized, Fujido exercises without hesitation. I guess I'm concentrating, I could see Rimis exhaling with relief at that serious look and unpretentious behavior.

Originally Fujido can exercise even the miracle of level up that is not required in the lowest certification exam. There is nothing that cannot be used by a miracle that would be required this time, and Helios will not be wronged by the test contents. That is blasphemy to God.

exams that go along without any particular problems.

At the end of the street, Helios suddenly stopped talking and began to slap his hands with disrespect.

He smiles calmly and praises Fujido.

"It's a great talent, Fujido. How long has it been since you learned the sacrament?

"... ten days... or so"

"At the bottom of the scale, I don't know if I can forgive a miracle in just ten days - AZ GREED is right and smiles at you. The miracle effect is not particularly problematic."

The lowest ecclesiastics are not so varied or difficult. Still... in the concurrent Priest, mastery takes a year.

There is no question about the special nature of Fujido, who was able to repair it in just ten days.

"... then -"

The expression of Fujido, which was a little stiff, loosens slightly.

Helios said with a full grin, as if he had anticipated it.

"Now let's use the sacred art (Holly Play) that we have just exercised again."

"... what do you mean?

"Let's certify Fujido as a Class V Monk (Priest)."

Helios continue to smile and ignore Fujido's words that lurk his eyebrows.

Fujido was flashy, but decided it was no use discussing it any further, he again starts using the sacred art in turn from "Blessings (Braces)".

The change came soon.

The look on Fujido's face turns somewhat surprising when he attempts to exercise a second fifth level restorative divine method (mini-healing).

Even though the healing is over, I will not show you how to exercise the following procedure:

"? What's wrong? Nao."

"... no... nothing"

Rimis tilts his neck at the changes in Fujido that have been going on without precipitation until now.

Fujido frowns, but enters the next procedure.

- But the exam was already over.

The discomfort that Fujido would have felt begins to appear on the table where he continued to apply the aid of muscle gain and the aid of agility gain.

I saw the anomaly well, especially from a distance.

Changes posture. The body that stood properly began to move and his legs began to tremble slightly. You begin to see a rash in your crosscutting hand, and you also start to disturb the chanting voice that can be chanted.

The look on Helios's face remains the same. Just a tender grin like a stick.

On the other hand, Fujido has finally developed enough symptoms to feel conscious. Her complexion was slightly white. Her eyes were wide open and pointed at her own trembling fingertips.

Divine power is a testament to faith and to the protection of God.

All men are born with divine power and are protected by God. Unlike magic, there is no human being with zero divine power.

The protection you are receiving unconsciously is actually very powerful, and it will not expire as it should be.

- So when does that expire?

"My body... heavy...?

Fujido's lips tremble slightly, and he makes a small sound like a shudder.

At the next moment, Aria rushed forward to support Fujido, whose knees were about to collapse.

This is the answer.

The phenomenon of the depletion of divine power. The unconscious disappearance of the protections we are receiving.

Fujido's body must be feeling very heavy right now. Priest is what everyone experiences once. It tells us how powerful the protection we are receiving without realizing it.

Crushing knees. Heavy body. The power of the hands and feet does not enter surprisingly, just standing accumulates fatigue.

The sword you hold does not rise, you lose the weight of your armor, and once you lay low, you will even have difficulty getting up.

Abnormal loss of physical ability. The price of bringing down the miracle of God is great. There's no way I'm supposed to cut it just because I'm living. When my protection expires.

Especially since the higher the level, the stronger the protection you are receiving unconsciously, the greater the discrepancy you will feel if you lose your divine power.

A little rest will restore divine power and resurrect protection, but exhaustion in battle must be avoided at all costs.

Helios says in a gentle voice to Fujido, who looks up at Helios with a trembling gaze.

"Mr. Fujido, that's the price of sacred art - a testament to the depletion of divine power"

"The divine power... depleted?

"Yep..."

Amelia, who has been falling back until now, comes forward and touches Fujido's head.

For a moment Amelia's palm shines candy. Fujido fluttered but stood firm.

Amelia exercised the art of transferring her own divine power. Originally, it is a technique that is never shown first at a common party where there is only one Priest.

Helios continues on to Fujido, who opens and closes his palms to ascertain the power of his return.

"Fujido, your sacred art has the power it deserves as one with the protection of the Eight Spirits Three God...... but not enough"

"Not enough...... not enough?

"Yes."

To a helios who wouldn't break his grin, Fujido turned his drawn expression.

Behind Helios' narrowed eyes, I'm sure, he's not laughing.

"You haven't had enough miracles. Being able to exercise the lowest miracle for two consecutive weeks, that is - the fifth degree monk (Priest) … the minimum power of the Church as Priest."

"Wait a minute... I mean, that's... failing," he said?

Aria stares at Helios with a rugged look.

Perhaps you didn't expect to fail.

Helios starts applauding Alia's sharp gaze where it blows, again neglecting.

"Yeah. Well, the miracle effect is fine. Excellent. Let's raise the Bravery Award."

Are you serious or provoking? From the side, it just seems like you're making fun of me.

The suggestion is that the remiss is eaten abruptly.

"What's that!? Are you making fun of me!?

"No, young lady of the Wizard. It is undoubtedly a feat that the miracle of the Church has become available in just ten days. Few of the elites who work in training at the main mountain have been able to use miracles at that speed."

Helios is right in his words. Speed is big, protection is big, talent is big.

The only thing missing is time and effort. And that was something that was supposed to be taught gradually.

Fujido squeaks in a dark voice as if it were stubborn.

"But... no, no..."

"Yes. Forgive me, brave man. Priest's skills depend on a person's life, and the depletion of divine power also concerns Priest's own life. As a church, we can't compromise."

Logical opinions that can be added to that additionally to an attitude that makes a fool of you.

It's unlikely Fujido will push it through any more than he even told me that people's lives are at stake. Helios would be a very difficult opponent for Fujido, more than just not having an absurd voice or an openly hostile attitude.

Rimis is also turning his face bright red, but he's shaking his eyelashes without being able to say anything.

Fujido's virtue was to be just, and his weakness was also to be just.

Reach for your shoulders so that Helios can comfort you. Fujido took a reflexive step back and avoided it.

Still, the grin of Helios is not cloudy. Pull in your stretched hand and continue as if nothing had happened.

"... Fujido, don't be so depressed. The only thing missing is time. If you use it over and over and even increase your divine power, you will soon pass the exam."

"I don't have time... I don't have enough time. We don't have time to stop..."

The tone was weak, but made me feel absolute will.

The look I came up with. On that look, a glimmer of doubt boils.

- Then why did you kick me out? How did I end up being kicked out?

Strange. Very strange. He is just and has a sense of purpose.

I'm not playing brave with play, I'm direct but I'm never bad at figuring things out. The pan that was on me was never fatal either. There wasn't supposed to be any sign of being kicked out. That's why I said I made leveling a top priority.

If you're not a woman, why are you kicking Priest out? Because you thought it would be easy to find a replacement?

I can assume as much as I want, but none of it sticks. Well, maybe this is just that I haven't spotted Fujido's cat wear...

Eyes gazed, observing the side of the vineyard still. I can't read anything from it.

That's when Fujido's gaze shifted from Helios to Amelia standing behind it.

There is a light of hope in Fujido's eyes. Step out to Amelia so she can eat up.

"Oh, yeah... you there, would you come into my party?

"... is it me?

I can't. I can't do that. It was very impossible to take the form of an order from my boss.

Amelia's expression doesn't change even in abrupt scouts. Remains faceless.

I don't care what you think, it's not a good look.

Don't you realize that, or are you confident that you can negotiate?

Or is that the brave man's courage? It looks reckless one way or another rather than courage.

"Oh. Our party doesn't have Priest due to unavoidable circumstances. We'll do the battle, will you just support us!?

Say yes! I'm gonna help you, Amelia!

It's okay, I'll talk to Craio! Help the poor brave man!

Fujido's will and my prayers coincide for the first time now.

Amelia tilted her neck slightly and moved her lips slightly.

"I don't like it."

Just one word, a word of refusal.

Scouted Fujido, as well as Aria, Rimis and even Helios, are taken aback by too concise an answer.

There's more to waste than that. Just tell him why you're lying.
