I Became the Demon Lord and my Territory is an Uninhabited Island
Episode 306: When I went to church
Twenty days after giving the guard a short cutlass. The islands haven't changed in particular, and as usual I clean up the pile of papers moderately, pick up the next one from the rack and look through it.
“Is the church completed in the fourth village…. Since there were various decorations, was it about one year since the start of construction?”
I guess the second village was finished within half a year, but that was a temporary tent, and the worship was the top priority in a simple tent. Then I finished it.
"I saw only the outside while training ... Is the interior finally finished ...? That's what it is to come ..."
I moved my documents to the side of the desk, took the next, and concentrated on clearing it for the time being.
"Hmm. I came here, but I look at the appearance quite often ..."
I ate lunch, talked to Adrea and translated it to the fourth village, but I couldn't say anything because it was the usual church.
"I can't come here a lot because it's the opposite of the island, but I've only seen it a few times during the construction. It's Vanessa, so I don't think it's going to be very flashy."
"Speaking of which, is there something new in the church when it was newly built? It's something like a festival or something to show off. Currently there's no change outside."
I and Adrea are standing at the entrance to the church, looking up to the roof, but nothing.
I mean, if I don't shoot rocket fireworks, I can do anything. The method of praying to God is completely different in different times and countries, and there are also harvest festivals such as throwing tomatoes and drinking beer.
I think it's okay to add new rituals or something unique to the island, but if you think like this, you'll be taken just to the place where God is around tonight, so let's stop it soon. It can't be helped to increase the number of festivals.
"Well, I'm here with the letter of church completion, so I came with Mr. Adrea."
I push the door of the church, and when I go inside, it is so simple that I can not imagine a new building, there is really a minimum thing compared to the second village.
"It seems to be Vanessa"
No, it's not a problem even if I get rid of that one word. Is the place of your heart surprisingly important?
"Oh, welcome. How about. Is it beautiful?"
"Well, it's so beautiful that my head hurts. Why are there only chaise lounges, statues, and altars? Could I be a little more greedy?"
I place my hand on my head and wrinkle in the eyebrows, looking at the masculine deity with a sword and shield at the back, a little higher.
"No, no, I can't make a puppy like me be more luxurious than the church in the second village. Well ...
Vanessa scratches her cheeks with her fingers and smiles a little bit at the church. I feel like I'm restless.
"I think it's nice. I've eliminated all the waste and neatness. I think the church should be like this. If it's too godly, I'm scared. I go to a cold village where there is no such thing and preach sermons and teachings in a place like a hut, so this is too luxurious. ''
Mr. Adrea looks at me while shaking his head, but in anticipation of the increase of islanders in the future, I thought that I wanted some level ...
"I see. I think you can get a lot higher when you're higher and to a certain extent, and it's scalable ... or, because there's nothing, you can add more in the future. "
"That's right .... You can increase it, but how long will it be .... Well, I'll do it myself, but if you are longing, there is no problem-"
"I came to play Hey!"
As Vanessa was talking, the church door was opening vigorously and several children came in.
"I'm always telling you to open the front door of the church quietly! You can open it vigorously at the back door. It's a study day today. What are you trying to play with? That's right. "
"What is it? It's a good idea. Few islanders come to worship in the afternoon, which is not a break."
"That's not the problem. The cathedral is sacred."
"Numpon!"
While Vanessa was arguing with the energetic children, Adrea coughed, the cathedral became quiet at once, and her cold eyes turned to everyone except me.
"Be quiet. It's good to be fine, but this is a place to pray. Vanessa? I'm good to be friends with the kids, but do you know where you are?"
"Yes, yes."
"sorry"
"Don't you? Not a thing, but God always looks at us-- "
And Mr. Adrea had a combination of attention and preaching with enough experience. Why am I involved too? Disagreeable. Because it was next door ...
"Yes. Then there's Calm, will you teach me?"
"Yes?"
After ending the grateful preaching, Adrea told me to study, and I became a teacher.
"Mr. Calm is very knowledgeable, and I know he is good at teaching.
"By the way ... Well, it's good ..."
I sighed, scratched my head and went out. A blue sky classroom is fine.
"Well, did you learn addition and subtraction?"
He picked up the stick he had brought from the side and slapped his palm with a slap, and asked children, perhaps between the ages of five and nine.
"I learned! I can do shopping alone."
"Oh, that's terrific. Then uncle ... older brother? I also have to do my best to use money on the island soon. By the way, I'm gonna ask you for shopping. You have three large copper coins. How many can I buy if I buy one copper tomato for two large pieces and one copper tomato? "
For now, let me tell you about things like multiplication and division. I think I can still communicate with my brother. All right!
"Eh ... at least. It's two for one ... you can buy ten, because two are ten times ... twenty?"
"Yes, right. And with the remaining money, if you buy four copper coins that can be bought with three copper coins, how many eggs are there? And what is the remaining money?"
"Well, wait a minute. Um. Um."
"Yes. You can write on the ground, so don't panic."
I gave the boy a stick and smiled at the writing on the ground, but was it suddenly difficult?
"Is 12 eggs and the remaining money is one large copper coin and six copper coins?"
When the boy was worried, a girl of about the same age replied without any particular signs of worries.
"Oh, it's correct. Did you do everything in your head?
"Thank you. When I grow up, I want to be a shop that sells food, so I always do my best to calculate."
"... Huh. Tell me if you're getting bigger and still want to be a food shop. Opening a shop on the island is very welcome."
"Mr. Calm, do you have a bad face?"
I thought it would be a great welcome to open a store on the island, but if you were an islander you would be treated in a variety of ways, and if you thought about the area in various ways, Vanessa rushed in.
"Hmm? I'm sorry. I'm thinking about logistics and industry on the island. Also, if there are a few more islanders, I'd like to consider a small school in each village in earnest."
Loosen the slightly grined face with your thumb and index finger, and return to the usual face.
"Is it a lie? I was thinking about something bad."
"Yes, that face looks like that."
"No, no, not at all, right?"
Hmm. Did Adrea recognize me too? I have to be a little careful, especially in front of the children ... Of course, even before the child.
□
"Ah, it's already this time ... what are you doing with a snack?"
When I was watching the children's studies somehow, it was time for a snack, so I asked them for the time being.
"My sister is at that time and I'll make cha-cha."
"Yes, yesterday was a rusk. Tell me there's more bread left."
"Huh. It's a bit sloppy, but surprising."
"Vanessa was a good cook and the best in the church."
"…………e?"
"What's that eye? I'll be good at it. I'll show you proof!"
Am I a lie? When I saw Vanessa with his eyes, she was dissatisfied and headed toward the back door, so I decided to go there.
"That's right. There's only one person, but I always bring bread for two people. I know it's good intentions, but is it more meaningful to be a little more plump?"
When I entered the kitchen from the back door, it was neat and tidy, and for some reason Vanessa told me to hold a loaf of bread and hear that.
Maybe I finished this first to live. There is a strange feeling of life.
"Ah, it's for children's snacks? It's coming often, right?"
"Ah, hey, it's coming often ... or something like that! I don't know if I need to say it."
Mr. Vanessa said, but when he picked up the apple rolling on the table, he cut it into four pieces, took the core, peeled it and started to cut it into pieces, the second one was crushed down and put in a pot Put in, peel off the lemon, squeeze for a bunch and mix well. It's tricky ...
Then he put the fire in the oven, put butter, sugar and diced apples and fry it lightly.
Then she put the sliced bread on a tray and started to bake lightly.
"Mr. Calm. You never hate apples.
Vanessa laughs and stirs the pot, but it's better to talk about allergies.
"Some people in the world don't like it, they die when they eat it. Some people symptom-wise feel the same as when they were stung by a bee. Please bring me to a doctor? "
"Hey. It's not like or dislike, but is that something that can't be done?"
"Yes, so be careful."
One of my friends was so fond of natto that I became allergic to green onions when I stuffed it and ate it. Another guy who likes fish but suddenly became allergic to seafood. It's really poor. I can't eat what I like suddenly.
"Yes, it's apple butter jam. Eat both while hot. You guys. Have you washed your hands ??
"I wash it! I say every time, so I'm trying to wash it even if I don't like it"
"Okay! I'm praying. What are you praying for?"
And Vanessa looked at me and asked me to confirm. Why do you ask me?
"Huh? To complete the church?"
"Oh, I totally forgot. I just completed it yesterday. OK, cross your fingers."
"Do you want me?"
"Of course, our god is generous.
"... Is that so?"
That kind of god would make you feel like you would see it with warm eyes.
I put my fingers in a prayer pose, and Vanessa began to say something thankful, and when it was over, I started to pour water into the cup, especially for the amen-like words.
"Yes. It's too much, but don't hesitate to eat."
"" I'll do it! ""
I painted apple butter jam on crispy bread and savory, but it was simple and surprisingly delicious. Let's make it for my family next time.
Hmm. With this character, the skill of this dish ... If you surely get married and have children, you're the one who's Okan.
"True. Vanessa's food is delicious. Calm's is also delicious, but this is easy to make, so I prefer this one."
"What is it? Do you even cook Calm?"
"Well, I'll do it to release stress."
"Slice the apples and make the shape of a flower to make a pie? It seems like baking tart.
"Huh ... I'm interested. Please make it next time."
"What is it! Eat it!"
"I want to eat too!"
Vanessa turned to the children and replied with a ridiculous smile. In addition to that, Adrea also shines his eyes.
"Okay, I'll make it the next time I come. If you're good at computing by that time, I'll cut a little more and work harder."
I was eating apple butter toast deliciously, stroking the boy's head.
