I walked into the dressing room for the female faculty with Sister Lean, and the first thing I thought was, "Just a little dazzling." The teachers' lockers are lit and reflected by the sunlight.

I look at the brilliance of fine dust (dust) in space and pull the blackout curtain ahead of Sister.

"Here you go."

Sister Lean, who confirms that she can no longer see the indoors from the outside, hands-on a white coat, in large measure.

"Um, don't you measure the dimensions of the size?

"It's okay. This must be perfect for you."

I answer that plainly, Sister.

Really? Was it a monastic garment that I was always allowed to wear, and was it more or less the same size?

Then why did you bother telling me to take my measurements, although I still have a few questions, I receive obediently given clothes.

"This is not something that can be given to anyone"

That said, Sister Lean refers to a pure white coat on my hands.

"This garment is a monastic garment given by the Church only to those entitled to the blessing of the Goddess"

It feels kind of like clothes worth a lot.

I'm getting kind of nervous even though I haven't even gotten in yet.

"Oh, my God..."

"I was watching what you did. Hear the voices of those who visit the Church in person and guide the answers with hissing thoughts."

Dust and smile (cheeks) Mm. Sister Lean.

"That's with the way you are, 'Rainbow Goddess'. Now, try it on."

"Yes, sir"

The way I wore monastic clothes had been taught by Sister Lean before when doing Sister's imitations, so I could really wear them.

However, there were a few things different from the monastic clothes I was wearing before.

The first thing is that the fabric is white and gold only. The objects worn in the church had a lot of black parts, and only a little bit of white was applied to the edges.

"That garment is basically something close to a festive garment to be worn in an official ritual setting. As I told you earlier, it is a monastic garment given by the Church only to those who will receive the blessing of the Goddess."

"Yes, sir"

And the veil part to put on my head was different.

What I wore before was the type of thing that covered my head in a suffocation so my hair wouldn't come out too much. But this coat only drips a veil braided with thin platinum lace.

"Your hair color... is one that even the gods could not create. Hiding that silver thread is something else. We have lost the hat part with awe and gratitude and familiarity"

I don't know, but I just wanted to thank you a little.

I felt a little cramped putting my hair together.

"And this is what you rank."

Sister showed me a rosary picturing a silver round circle.

It was connected to a thin chain and, if carefully observed, only one thing, like a pale little gem, was embedded in the metal part.

"If you (you) decide to become a member of the 'Rainbow Goddess (Arco Illis)' Church, you will first be given the rank of 'Reader'. But at least what you (your) coat indicates can be found in" Deacon ". In some cases, your rank may be treated as' Deacon '."

Uh... are we talking about a class within the church?

Looks like it's the equivalent of "Deacon," but it actually means "Reader," right?

"Sister Lean. What is a 'reader'?

"He who reads the teachings of the Rainbow Goddess."

"I see. So, uh... doctrine, what do you have? I'd like to hear more about decisions and commandments…"

"No commandments, etc."

"To?"

Even though it's religion?

"There is only one doctrine, 'guiding people in a better direction'. It's just that."

……

"Shintaro already understands, right?

… I began to hear penance.

Sure, I listened to the flower-loving boy, Yuruchi and Shizuku, my sister, and expressed my opinion, wishing I could go in the right direction myself.

At the same time, I was able to create an incentive to face the seeds of trouble that smoke (dull) in me.

There was synergy. Maybe.

I mean, is that okay?

Get people's troubles consultation, it helps.

That seems to be all.

Then what the hell am I supposed to read and listen to as a 'reader'?

"Uh, do you have any obligations as a 'reader', etc?

"Nothing in particular, but if there is, will I tell you an old story about the Rainbow Goddess? That's also the extent to which they talk if they're interested. You don't have to let them talk."

Um, is that the story of the gods about the colors that come out of the game?

What is it?

You explained it to me when I first met Sister Lean, but I don't really remember. Uh, is there a white and black god first, a morning and night god? Those two got married and a gray god was born...... Then we gathered gods of all colors, blue and red - a rainbow goddess occurred.

So between the rainbow goddess and the gray goddess, a being that inherits ten colors, the great human ex, was born?

Ask Sister a question because she had a vague (ambiguous) memory and still remembered it.

"Let me read the myth...... ok. Can I have something like a textbook with that myth on it?

"Absolutely."

Then don't worry.

Let's read it later.

"Now, Mr. Shintaro. This place is air-conditioned, so let's actually touch the outside temperature to find out how much you feel."

"Uh, yes?

"Wouldn't it be hot in that monastic outfit?"

Also, I have trouble falling down with heat stroke, as I did when I met him, Sister Lean whines gently.

"And report any difficulty moving or discomfort with the length or size of your clothes"

"Yes, sir"

I'm going out into the hallway as Sister urges me to.

"Does it look okay?

"Yes, it's about cool."

I wonder why. It's supposed to be sewn in such a solid fabric, but I can't feel the wonder and summer heat. Is it a cool biz, chilling material? Or are they using materials that are prone to dissipate heat?

"Again, is it the 'Queen's Egg' with the blessing of the Goddess...... Then actually take a stroll around the area and if you are uncomfortable with any clothes, please report back later."

She turned her back on me and walked straight out the hallway.

"Uh... yes. Where's Sister Lean?

Ask her, who has said darkly that she will act differently.

She stops at my question, turns around and comes at me again.

"I am going to see the chapel currently under construction at this school. It's next to the tennis court, but I need to see the progress with this eye."

"Uh... is a church going to be built in this school?

"It's not a fine thing like a church, because the president of this school was a faithful and devout believer. Apparently, he applied for attribution to the" Rainbow Goddess (Arco Illis) "church."

"Ha..."

Well, it's not uncommon to have a high school that incorporates the spirit of religion as part of your education.

That's why there are so many schools that incorporate Christian and Buddhist ideas.

"How normal is that?"

It's surprising that the high school I go to is going in that direction, but I don't feel otherwise bad. Anyway, even if my body changes, I'm likely to be able to attend the same school.

"You (you) seem thoughtful about this school building. You may act differently from now on, so please report back to me later on how your monastic clothes are doing."

"Yes."

Take a stroll if you like, all I'm saying is.

The "Rainbow Goddess (Arco Illis)" Church feels that there is a lot of liberal part to it as a whole. Pretty much, it's seemed like a convenient sect to me.

"Oh, and..."

Sister Lean took out a yellow stone (...) colo (...) and said:

"Use this just in case."

"... ho?

There's a reason I made a dumb voice.

There's no context, there's no philosophical stone Sister took away.

Because it was definitely a familiar thing.

Plus, lately.

Sister pinches the object with her fingers so I can see it better.

"You're going to hit this hard. If you do, the light that just burns out your eyes will illuminate the unsuccessful man who tried to raise his hand to the Goddess's use and take away his sight."

Sister Lean enthusiastically talks about who that stone is.

In the Clan Clan, it was the "Flash Stone" itself that I created in Alchemy.

The "Flash Stone", made of a combination of "Yellow (Saint Yellow)" and "Hard Stone", was very useful when discovering the giant's hidden underground city of Journ. The light generated when used slowed the motion of "The Giant Genealogical Corpse (Huge Zombie)" for only a moment, saving me the predicament several times.

Is that what Sister Lean has in his hand?

"This is an item called dyeing your vision white for 3 seconds...?

"It's not such an easy thing. It literally produces enough light to cause abnormality in human (...) vision. When you use it, you close your eyes and then rub it, right?

"Uh..."

"You won't be able to see things properly for an hour. There will then also be individual differences in human beings (...) who remain visually impaired"

Oh, come on, give me something so noisy... or what?

Why is there a flash stone?

It is very similar, or the shape and appearance remain the same.

also, could...... are clan clan items being used as in-game items inspired by real objects?

"Sister Lean... may I ask your stone name?"

"Yes, Shintaro. With the power of the Mother of the Goddess, this stone..."

She slowly opens her mouth and emits the name of the stone.

Sister's well-shaped lips moved seemed somewhat in slow motion.

"The name is" Flash Stone. "

I stared seriously at her proudly speaking face.

May the goddess bless you.

"Oh, no... Sister Lean, what is this..."

"What are you surprised about? It's just a security commodity. It may be minor here in peaceful Japan, but in insecure areas, it's a standard ore used by the faithful to defend themselves."

"Ha, ha"

Is there such a security commodity?

Clan Clan stuff in reality?

No, that's crazy thinking. In due course, Clan Clan only employs what is in reality.

I guess Clan Clan takes a similar approach, just as they often use existing religions as motifs in games to incorporate stories and setting backgrounds.

As a good example, as Shizuku explained earlier, Clan Clan has a proven track record of incorporating the 'Rainbow Goddess (Arko Iris)' faith of minor religions into the game.

Yes, it should be.

"You will soon awaken to the blessing of the Goddess (...)"

Blessings...?

Sister, with a grin and a deep grin, turned his heel straight back and walked away from me.

To the chapel...... I guess I'm heading there.

…………

The chapel in construction does bother me. I had the option to go see it with Sister Lean, but I didn't feel that way right now. Besides, when it comes to being near a tennis court, you go outside the school building, and that means you get noticed.

If that's the case, I don't want to do it now.

With strange discomfort in my chest, I look down the long corridor.

"A little, walk..."

I rolled a strangely familiar 'flashing stone' in my hand, and I turned to my classroom somehow.

――――

――――

A lot, I wanted to calm down.

Is that why?

I was in two classrooms a year accustomed to nature.

"Don't keep in touch with my sister."

'I'm in my classroom, tell my sister as soon as something happens,' I told her at the line, 'this one's going to take a little longer. Taro, I know you do, but don't be too urchin'. If there's nothing I can do for you, stay back, 'he replied immediately.

"I'll be back in a while," he sends, turning his smartphone into a pocket for his monastic clothes.

"Phew..."

Staring quietly at the classroom.

My routine.

Dangerous, nearly lost.

That makes me terribly happy to be in this space.

Here, we have conversations with our classmates that have no other love, and the days when we can hang out at night or hang out with Yuki.

Watching my favorite Akane from afar, I find it exciting and exhilarating when I go to talk to her in anticipation of an opportunity. Blooming in this classroom, a smile as bright as her twist.

Akane Miyachi.

To her, I teased Un confession.

The bitterness remains, but I still want to see her again, if I can.

I didn't realize how important it was to spend every day in school like this after being in such a body.

I hear faint voices from outside, I hear students encouraging ministry activities, and I think so.

"Even then, it was like this..."

I remember when I was waiting for you just before I confessed.

"Just a little."

Somehow, when I wanted to hit the wind, I went out to the veranda.

Midsummer sun falls on me. However, thanks to the cool material of the monastic clothing, it was never eroded by the heat and humidity.

Happy with my sober coat, I look under my eyes.

And I closed my eyes.

To the cries of the baseball and football clubs, the sound of a whistle that starts the swimming club.

Clear your ears to the songs played by the different instruments in the brass section.

"... When my sister gets an OK, let's belong to the 'Rainbow Goddess (Arco Illis)' church"

What I found out when I came here was that I really wanted to continue my students here.

"Here's how one thing at a time, you just have to know"

There's still so much I don't know.

My feelings, what might happen next.

About the church, about this disease, about the way you deal with your friends.

In real life or in games.

I'm holding it with my right hand, even a rough stone is.

"Flashing stones... I can't believe this stuff was in real life"

Stare at the yellow stone in your hand and whine small.

That's when the window behind me rattled open.

Hurry up and turn around, there was one boy student there.

It was even a small, blue-haired beautiful boy in the game, in reality in a pounding shape, but muscular around his shoulders - of a beautiful girl who loved humans, Yuji.

"My lord...?"

With a swimming cap and goggles, the dripping water flows through your cheeks (cheeks), neck, chest and protruding belly. I can't tell if that's sweat or pool water.

But there's only one thing I can say.

With a bowl of heavily eaten sea bread, the guy staring at me...

He said he deserved to use "Flashing Stone," hentai.

Just when the guy you want to use showed up... is it a coincidence that it was fulfilled? Or only God knows... No, is it destined to know only the goddess?

I'm out of my sight from my classmate Yuji.

Pretending to be someone else.

"From poolside, if you can see yourself on the veranda and rush right away...... it's still Lord Taro, isn't it? Buddha, Shintaro... Your Excellency"

But you can't escape the inquiry from Yuji.

I just move my neck giggly and turn a grin on him.

"hahaha......"

This seems to have gone awry.

What do I do?

There are so many things I really don't understand.
