I’m a NEET but When I Went to Hello Work I Got Taken to Another World (LN)
Lesson 274 The Imperial Capital Healing Games, Day 2 Afternoon
"How many people know about this?"
"No one in other countries should know, so it's even less than forbidden curse."
That's why he wanted to check with Lilia to see if this story was being passed on to the Elves.
Lilia certainly doesn't know. If you knew, you'd have told me. Whether this story remains in the Elves themselves. Could you have understood this story 3200 years ago? It was probably because humans did not understand well that they were informed again in the later years. Well, that's on hold. Maybe we should check it out sometime, or we can talk to Lilia and have her check it out.
"So what do you think?" It doesn't matter what I do. I wonder if there are more reasons to do it. "
I nodded in relief at Aeon-sama's words. There was recognition that it was a battle for survival. When it comes to winning, the conditions for winning are too vague. Then survive anyway and you win. The same was true of the first consecration from God. Survive for twenty years. I don't know anything about the future. I can't help it.
"Many people lose their motivation when they talk about it."
At the time when the oracle was brought, and still today, because of the matter, I taught the temple officials to a certain extent, but the reaction was divided into three parts.
I don't know and it's a story about the far future, so it goes through. Those who motivate us that we have been chosen by God. But there was a certain number of people who openly lost their motivation.
The world and the death of God will be shocked by the promised eternal struggle. Literally, everything around me is going to disappear eventually. Even the most brilliant and religious of priests at the top of the temple. It has become common knowledge that there are many problems, and information can only be conveyed to selected people.
I don't know if I should share this information with anyone. Perhaps it is better to lay down on the ground. It's a story far into the future that has nothing to do with us, but it gives rise to tremendous fear and anxiety.
No, it doesn't matter, does it? My kids. My kids and Tilica's kids. I convinced myself I'd throw myself into this fight. But do you want your children and grandchildren to carry this burden?
There's nowhere to run. There is no escape.
Dialogue said by Aeon. A terribly cruel fate. You're absolutely right.
"I'll explain it to you firmly later." Anyway, the important thing is to win and survive. That's all there is to it. "
I called out to Will, who was upset. Saty probably doesn't understand half of it. The master seemed to be interested.
The radar of Aeon's bodyguard pretended to be calm, but it couldn't hide its agitation. Toniella is a wolf and behaved suspiciously.
“I understand most of the story, but I have a few more questions.”
If you know how the end of the world is going to come and how our species can help, there's a lot to ask.
"There is a long exchange that can be said to be unusual with regard to this consecration, and it is all written in the book. Let's get it ready for later.”
To the extent that Aeon was informed of the outline by his predecessor, he said that he did not know more about it. I can't see anymore even if I try to hit the materials directly, and so can my predecessors who taught me. Then I think it would be better to go directly to the documents. But after all, the gods took a lot of trouble to understand. But from what I've been told, it's far into the future. Why did you take so much time to teach it on consecration when the negative effects seemed to be greater? It's true that you should know.....
Because it's a contract?
“Yes, this is the covenant we made with God.”
That's why I taught you the details so you wouldn't forget. No matter what we think about it.
God may be merciless, but at least justice seems to prevail. And I'm not going to miss the human race from the deal I made.
Shall I check this out? [M] It is faster than the old materials of the kingdom of kami, and it is definitely faster. As long as my ancestors and I have not chewed on that contract, it is possible to say that it has nothing to do with it, but we are so involved in this world that we can no longer afford to take it out. You should have the right to hear it in person.
However, it was not known to the public. It would be difficult to make people understand this story in the first place, and what if, for example, about 10 or 20 percent of people become unmotivated or desperate as a result of the public announcement? Society is inevitably in turmoil.
Of course, there is a chance that this will not happen at all. But I don't want to let that happen, and I don't want to take responsibility for what happened when it didn't work out. The same must have been true of the priests who knew about this.
It's about the end of the race. It may be necessary to inform the public one day, but at least now is not the right time. It must have been sent forward like that.
The story of the end of the world can be put on hold for a while or there is a lack of information. We'll have to consider it later.
I'll change the story, but if you don't mind, can I tell you about the first and third time?
I was worried about Aeon-sama's use of the curse ban three times. He only told me the details for the second time. In response to my question, Aeon began to speak lightly.
For the first time, let's do what Master Masaru told us to do to acquire skills.
Even if the shrine maiden who had been entrusted by the ancestors had found the qualities as a healing magician, it was only the qualities. As a healing surgeon, he was said to have finally taken off his apprenticeship. That's why they also tested the use of curses, and asked the healing magician to improve his abilities by God.
"Huh. Is that possible outside of Masal?"
The master caught on to the story.
"That is what we have received as a courtesy from God to serve as a curse-breaking user as a divinely entrusted shrine maiden." That's why..... "
Well, for the simple price of losing the hair pigment, you can't get that much strength. Besides, it's risky to make too greedy demands on God. It's a world where God's punishment is real.
You should give up this line, Master.
My system is in the same line as the Forbidden Curse. Instead, it diverted from its original curse-banning system. The difference is that I'm paying for it with a lot of monster life.
And it was hidden because there was someone who could eat it like a master. It was the same as blessing. Anyone who can be like us, or like Aeon, the greatest healing magician in the kingdom, will be interested, and those who don't know how to try it will continue to emerge.
"And for the third time..."
Recently, the emperor of the kingdom made an alternative. It was also above Aeon's brother-in-law.
With the personal wishes of the former Emperor, I used the curse of forbidden.
It is said that my granddaughter had a serious illness. However, no amount of personal abuse of curse suppression could be allowed, no matter how much the Emperor. With such a person, the emperor of the kingdom was unsuitable, and the former emperor was deposed, and the next emperor became the brother-in-law of Aeon. Or maybe the other way around. I was asked to use the curse on the condition that I gave the emperor the title. Either way, I used the Forbidden Curse and exchanged it for the Emperor's throne.
I see, neither use of the curse was something I could really talk about.
What difference does it make between my brother-in-law and the former emperor who sold Aeon for the Emperor?
That should be sweet on my sister, and I won't be upset for the rest of my life under those circumstances. The two knights weren't likely to be a problem.
"Even as a kingdom of gods, I don't intend to use curses lightly." The curse-bearer and the shrine maiden served by the same person, and by adopting the emperor and his equivalent, they prevented him from doing so. "
What if a commoner was responsible for the curse? How resistant are you to requests from your superiors and those in power? He held the highest position in the shrine of the Shrine of the Shrine, and he was also a royal family. Almost no one can impose anything on this. On top of that, I could sell my opponent a lot of favors if I used it anyway.
It has the advantage of providing a generous protection both as an anti-curse user and as a royal family in addition to a higher status in the temple. It might have been thought of a lot better to protect its curse-busters.
However, if I wanted to do that, I would have completely sealed it off, but because of the authority and power of the temple and the kingdom, I would have wanted to retain such a great power as the curse ban.
In fact, the Emperor's rank was shifted at the first time the curse was forbidden. Its influence is immense.
"Alright. You can be terribly strong with the blessing I can give you." You know what the elves do in the Hiraghis? And did you see me or Ellie treated? Thanks to all the protection, Ion could gain the same power. Whether it's attack magic or space magic, you can choose from swords and bows. So please don't use the curse again. "
Aeon nodded firmly to my words.
"Let's talk about protection later." Will. I need you to work with the temple on the slum aid. I'll talk to the Shrine Lord Florence. "
Yes, Will is not as energetic as he usually is. I must have been too shocked to hear a lot of things.
"I don't know, I don't understand, so I'm scared. But don't worry too much about the future, because I know exactly what's going on. Now I'm going to do the work in front of me one by one. Especially you have something to do, don't you?"
Will's complexion came back to life in my words. Will's happiness would run away if Francesca didn't win the Gladiator Games. There is no time to be lost. Honestly, I'm upset too, but if I shake it, it'll affect the others. You can't show your weaknesses.
"For now, I'll send it to Hiragis."
No, let's move on to the slums first.
Then come to the cure when you're done.
That's why I stand up when I see Will out of the Mansion.
Aeon-sama, I've been talking to you for a long time, but let's get to work.
No matter how much we can afford treatment, we'll worry that the rendezvous will be too late. Besides, I can talk to you anywhere in between.
"Um, before that, Masaru-sama." Please call me Aeon. You don't have to pay your respects to be one of us. ”
"Ah, right? That's right. Welcome to Aeon's Samurai Party. Yes, why don't you register your adventurer?"
I wonder if it is necessary. Maybe it's just a mood problem. Making money from affiliation with the Adventurer's Guild is likely to decrease in the future, and the shrine maiden is going to make a fuss about the adventurer. Even at Ann's time, I got permission to go through the procedures.
That sounds interesting.
Yes, the ion laughs faintly.
"Well, that's when I'm a little more free." Oh, I hope the ions learn the metastasis sooner. You can come back whenever you need to, and you don't have to choose a place to trust. "
Do you want me to give you a divine commission on the role of Aeon? No, I don't think so. I'll do what I can. It's not good to rely too much on God.
Then the Elves will take me to where I need to heal today. As usual, it was full of people seeking treatment, but the queue for treatment was much calmer than yesterday. After all, on the second day, it was known that treatment could be obtained with certainty, and the security personnel may have become accustomed to guiding the line. Now, after a short wait, the line moves, and it looks like we can get inside without waiting too long.
It may be an afternoon when treatment has progressed a lot, but it is very different from the feeling of a crowd swarming for treatment yesterday.
As soon as I walked past the side of the row, through the gates of the temple where I had to go through the guard's knights, I found Tilica.
“I'm sorry I'm late. Are you all right?"
Yeah, Ellie was there in the morning, too.
Miriam accompanied Tilica's guard today. I guess Ellie took the time to turn it around. Besides, the elves and gurus were increased more than yesterday, and the burden of treatment was less.
"Let's treat the people who are here now." Aeon, I need you to go that way. "
Two times for both of us. I cleaned up the patient all at once. Continue to guide Ann to the location of the person who is seriously ill. I took the priests with me.
I told Ann that the conversation had been prolonged, and she finished the treatment, then moved to a separate room to cast Blessing magic on the gathered officials and elves.
What about the Shrine Lord Florence?
When I said that and looked around, it seemed like I was nearby, and I was immediately called to come to me.
"It's about the slums..."
When it was cut out, even the temple chief said that there was talk of a slum. That's why he said he had a room for us, so he decided to calm down and talk.
The space was spacious and simple, with all the necessary furniture and beds, making it a great room to stay. All I need is a bath.
I want to thank you for having a nice room, and start by telling you that I want to cook it out with assistance from the Empire to the slums.
"I think Prince Wilfred will talk to me, so can you talk to him and go ahead?"
I think we need more help, but first we need water and food. Then the treatment is advanced and the health condition is improved. But what's going on?
"Very well. Previously, it was difficult even for a guru to get close, but in the present circumstances, it will work." I'll take care of it. "
Whether you're trying to send someone into a new reclamation like a beast, someone who can work properly is a soldier, an adventurer, some kind of worker, or a gangster. It would be difficult to maintain the reclaimed land even if the remaining residents were to be sent to women and children.
Although the population of Hiraghis is rather depopulated and immigrants are welcome, it is impossible to accept people who are unable to work. I wonder if that gang will work for me. So you want me to feed the weak in the ghetto? Well, that's impossible.
It was a question of land in the slums that came out of the shrine head. My master made me share the land that I had arranged, but I got a claim from the Empire.
Regardless of the planned temple land, the new land cannot be allowed to be reclaimed, and the residents of the slums with their soldiers will not be forcibly eliminated. Even if we acquiesce in this part now, it is not accepted as imperial policy to expand the slums. It wasn't the Empire itself that moved, it was the Imperial City Security.
The problem is that the residents don't pay any taxes, but because they don't have the money, they go to the slums, and they can't pay what they don't have.
"Therefore, with the forgiveness of Saint Angela, I gave you the name of Masaru."
Ann continued nodding.
"In principle, I don't want to bend." Nominally, a compromise proposal came out of the way to make it Masaru's land. "
Slum dwellers borrow land from me and pay for it. The Empire admitted ownership of my land and agreed not to care about its use.
"The place where the temple will be built was also made by the Masaru." You're also going to pay for usage every year. ”
That said, the money offered is a good amount for the rent. Although it is outside the city walls, it is located just off the outer wall of the suburb of the capital and has a large land area. They say that this is also cheap if you take that into account. Almost the same amount will be paid annually by slum dwellers.
But can they cum that much?
"Then can I also leave the collection to you?" So together with this money, we will contribute to the running costs of the Outer City Shrine. ”
If they use it on their own, the slum dwellers will be better off paying for it. The temple chief gave the money returned from me to me with great care, and he bowed his head politely.
"Yes, let's build a nursery together."
Land use fees alone won't be enough, but my pocket money has become plentiful, and I can pay if I need it.
“There's a plan, but it's too unclear at the moment what it's going to be.”
As a temple, there is also a side to cultivating future candidates for shrine officials. I want to take everything I can, but the problem is the budget. You can't just get help out of nowhere like me.
“Please plan to accommodate as many children as possible. Hire as many slum dwellers as you can to help. Let the Empire have the budget. No, but let's get out of here."
That's what I took out the gold box I got from Will from the Item Box.
"There are 500 gold coins." For the time being, please do this. "
About 50 million yen won't last long, depending on the number of people, but perhaps there's no need to add more. The temple chief understood, bowed his head again, and went to a new job with the money. I have increased my work again, but the treatment is going well and I don't think I am overworked.
"What happened to the money?"
Ann asked.
"I just got it from Will." You can use it as my pocket money
"That's a good use." But that's why we're running out of money. "
Ann says in amazement. I don't know if I sent all the money from right to left, but there is still a place where the money is used.
"Even Anne would basically work for free."
And I don't know what's going on with my wallet, but I'm sure I don't have any more money than I do.
“I'm fine. I'm a priest."
"It's fine with me, too." I have a friend I can rely on. "
That's what I'm going to tell Will, Aeon, and Lilia about getting the money.
"That's how generous you are."
It's more about the nursing home.
"Is there anything that bothers you?"
"I heard you were just trying to develop your magic powers as a Beastman." Next time, I'm going to ask you to try it in the favela. "
Just make them remember the magic. The old man might not be able to do it, but even a powerless woman could do it as a wizard. Of course, children become wizards at some age.
If a wizard is born from there, the benefits of the temple and the Empire will be immense. And with fewer slum dwellers in need, we should be able to help the rest of the elderly more generously.
"That's what I'm talking about. Hopefully, that kind of money is cheap, right?"
And while slums may not be eliminated soon, they should gradually become smaller. Well, if I couldn't develop my magic power, everything would be thwarted, but at that time, let's think about something again. As for the operating expenses of the nursing home, there is no problem if it is raised from the mine.
“The Empire solves the problem of the slums in just one day. As expected of you, Masaru-sama.
That's how Aeon praises me. But we are still at the stage of coming up with a solution.
I don't know what's going to happen to the magic power development, so it's the elves' business in the first place.
"But without Masaru, the Elves would not have revealed their magic." After all, Masaru-sama is the essence of everything. He is the guide of the human race. "
Something like this, the same direction as Lilia, right? I don't like to exaggerate... but we need to get to know each other better later.
By the way, it's the first time I've met you, Master Ionious.
Yes, Master Angela, please call me Aeon.
She stood up, politely bowed her head to Ann, and greeted Tilica in the same way. Speaking of which, I was talking about a slum, and I still hadn't been introduced.
"Aeon just decided to become one of us." I want you to get along with me. "
The two guards, Rada and Toniella, also talked about the situation and introduced themselves to him as someone who would be fine.
I'll introduce you in front of everyone tomorrow morning, so let's proceed with the treatment for now.
The treatment is still on the second day. I've just decided to join the Aeon, and I'm afraid it won't be easy. I had just started to develop my magic powers, and my future was uncertain.
"I'm writing a journal, so please wait a while." If you don't have enough magic power, I'll replenish it. "
As usual, the work and the problems are piling up, but now I'm going to do the things in front of me one by one. If we don't write the logs down soon, we'll lose some information, and we'll have questions about the end of the universe and the role of our people.
But it's true. the end of the universe.....
