In a Different World with a Smartphone
# 115 Apostle of the Patriarchate, and descent.
Now, my Duchy of Brunhild is gradually getting in shape as a country. And, then, the next thing to come is diplomacy, but unfortunately there was no provision for this. The Principality of Brunhild is surrounded by Leggles to the east and Belfast to the west. For there is no direct aggression, if only we were friends with these two countries.
That doesn't mean you don't have to get along with other countries. Each has its own national circumstances, and not all of them are harassed from afar.
It's just that I've never dealt with a tiny country like this before. The countries of the Western Alliance know me very well, so if a messenger comes from a country where the countries interact with each other but have no relationship at all, honestly, I panic a little.
"I welcome you first, Your Majesty the Duchy of Brunhild. I came with the use of the Pope of the Lamish Patriarchate, Elias Ortola, my name is Nest Leonard."
"I am Phyllis Rugit as well"
"Mmm."
I sit on the throne placed between my eyes and answer briefly. On the side, Takasaka, a former Takeda Shiteno, refrained from looking at me.
He said he knew. Don't talk too much, you just have to leave the response to Takasaka, right?
Something, I don't know what their intentions are. It is better to keep your mouth shut rather than let it slip. Silver for eloquence, gold for silence, I guess. Besides, I don't seem to have the majesty, so I have to take care not to be licked.
"A polite greeting, painful. So, how can I help you on purpose from the Ramish nation?
Mr. Takasaka, who was lying next to him, opens his mouth. Between the glances, Mr. Nest was an old man with short blonde hair, wearing a white robe embroidered with gold thread on his sleeve. You're a cleric to see. Is he about 40 years old?... although my hair feels strange.
Likewise next door, Phyllis is a quiet, atmospheric girl with thin purple hair bob-cut. How old am I? [M] He wears a white robe similar to Mr. Nest's.
Sounds like they're both in the priesthood status of the Ramish state. God of Light... was it Lars? If he's a priest, he's a powerful man over there.
The priest, Mr. Nest, opens his mouth.
"The pope of our diocese, Elias Ortola, wants to have a deep friendship with the Principality of Brunhild. At last, in order to widely preach my Larusism in this land, I would like you to recognize Larusism as a national religion. As a sister nation, my Ramish will spare no assistance to the Principality."
... what?
What do you mean, state religion? They say the state recognizes it and protects it by law.
"I would also ask His Majesty the King to be baptized and to build a church in this land. If the teachings of God Lars of Light are spread, this land will develop even richer"
Besides, Mr. Nest speaks like a great suggestion, but my feelings were on the frigid side. What are you talking about, this guy? Why should I be baptized by God?
"The teachings of our God, Lord Lars, destroy evil, in the name of light and righteousness..."
"I don't want it"
"............ what?
Mr. Nest, who was so excited about my words, stops perfectly.
"I don't need it, what?
"So religion. Because our country doesn't need it."
You've talked to me for a long time, but I mean, it's a religious solicitation, right? Honestly, you're frigid, aren't you? Is it God of Light? Are you sure you're there, that guy?
"You say you don't need the teachings of my God? Does Your Majesty have to believe in God?
"Don't be silly. No one believes in God more than I do. I appreciate it every day."
I say back to Mr. Nest, who stares at me. Not like your gods, though. [M] React to that word, or Mr. Nest is followed by Phyllis, who refrained from pinching his mouth. This one doesn't seem angry. He looks strange.
"Then why? I don't try to spread that teachings while saying I believe in God. Aren't you conflicted?
"You're not here. Is it only God of Light Lars that you call God in the first place? If you call it light, what about the Dark God? There's no other god?
Return to Phyllis's question with a question. chest against it, Ms Nest answers.
"Let there be the God of the sea, the God of the mountains, the God of the earth, and all kinds of gods. But it is the supreme God at the apex of its gods who is the God of Light Lars. Even a god of darkness can be revealed as an absolute god of justice."
"Of, I don't seem to have any power."
"What!?
Mr. Nest doesn't just stare anymore, he stands up absurdly and doesn't even try to hide his anger. Well, I'd be pissed.
"Did Your Majesty say my God is incompetent!?
"You're an absolute god of justice, aren't you? Why are there criminals and bad guys in this world?
"Oh, that's... that's why we're here! Judge evil, be God, and we have a role to play! Be the hand of God and the foot..."
"That's your power. It's not God's power. Don't get me wrong."
His face is bright red and Mr. Nest is shaking his shoulders. Did I say too much? But don't you think?
"Then what does His Majesty's believing God bring to us!
"Nothing. He's a busy man. Doesn't it mean do something about yourself? They don't intervene without so much. I'm telling you, I'm not denying your teachings. If you believe me, that's fine."
There is each god in everyone's heart. Isn't that okay? It's just that we used it in a state of entanglement.
Mr. Nest stares at this one with a hateful look and opens his mouth.
"... Apparently His Majesty is fascinated by the wicked God. Sounds like you need a baptism of purification."
"Ah?"
What did you just say?
"Amber, hold him down."
[]/(n, vs) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk)
"Wow!?
Nest was attacked from behind by the amber I called him in, holding his back in with his forefoot. It's White Tiger mode, which is what it is.
Walk to the front of the impounded nest, kneeling in and eyeing the old man frightened by Amber.
"Whatever god you believe in, you're on your own. I don't know if you're here. You can pray, wish, or like God. But I won't allow you to treat my God like an evil god. Don't let someone who doesn't know anything about that guy say something unsolicited."
Stare at the nest, open the "gate" on the floor, and drop him. Into the river outside the castle. Only blonde hair was left after the old man disappeared. I knew it was Zura.
Secondly, Phyllis, left behind when he looked to the side, didn't seem to have much of a surprise. Ah.
Bad. Too much. Even if it's a messenger from another country. There would have been another way to push him back. They said bad things about God, so I got angry. Is there a reason why that man's good-looking grandfather is evil?
Nevertheless, I guess it was still too much...... Turning around, Mr. Takasaka held his forehead for a long sigh. Uh... I knew it was a bad idea? I told you not to talk as much as possible.
"Um... Nest Priest..."
"Uh... I moved him outside the castle. It's okay, I didn't let you get hurt or anything."
I think it's getting wet. I may catch a cold. I know. It's better this way.
"I'm sorry. Please forgive me for this disrespect. In the first place, this observation was made at the strong request of Priest Nest, and the Pope was not very enthusiastic."
Phyllis bows his head. Really?
"If we can enshrine the state religion of this country in Larus, we will have no further merit. Perhaps Priest Nest was after it."
What, after all, are you after birth? Even if I say priests, I can't lose my guts.
"Anyway, my country is not going to decide on the state religion. Tell that to the Pope."
"Yes, let's do that. It's just, um... I was just talking to you earlier... has Your Majesty ever met God?
Oh? You didn't say that in the conversation earlier. Did I tell you something they'd notice? Hmm, what an answer.
"Excuse me. Say something weird... I... I don't know if there really is a God..."
Phyllis leaning down with a small grunt. Why don't you just say that? For once, I'm a priest.
"I've always wondered. Judge evil in the name of justice. I think that's a great thing. On the other hand, just because you're a demon or a dark person decides it's evil... is that correct? Will those who make mistakes once be forgiven no more? One question after another..."
I don't know, but at a stage where you doubt the God you believe in, isn't it bad enough that you're a priest anymore, this kid?
At that time, the nostalgic smartphone vibrated in manor mode, announcing an incoming call. Huh? At this time? I don't have to look at incoming calls to find out who called me. Because there's only one person who calls me.
Pick up the phone and answer the phone.
"Hello?"
"Oh, it's been a while. It's not me, it's me. '
Was it a crocodile scam? Let's name it right, God. But you called me like you were after me.
"Were you just watching?
"It just so happens. No, it felt good to watch you hang up. Thank you for being so angry with me. '
Ugh, they were watching. What an embarrassment. Phyllis calls out, looking at me bored with shame.
"Um... who are you talking to?
"God."
"Huh!?
Looking at the amazing Phyllis, I noticed, uh, something was wrong with Amber standing next to him. I don't make it slight at all. Is that it? What's up? Turning around, Mr. Takasaka is also stopping the movement. What is this!?
'Oh, I just stopped that time over there. It's no bother when the others see you. "
"Time stopped!? Oh, I mean, I can see it. No way...!
"I was going to answer your daughter's question there. I'm going that way now. Don't trust me if I don't see you. Bye.
"Hey......!
Hang up. Uh, seriously? Phyllis and I got eyes on each other when I let my smartphone out of my ear.
"He said he's coming now..."
"Coming... who is it?
"So... God"
He's stunned. God descended, wrapped in a brilliant glow from over our heads. Aura wrapped herself up until she was divine (though it's natural because she's a god), and I can see that divinity just by looking at it. Slowly God came down and stepped straight down to earth.
"Hey, not God."
"Light!?
You didn't have any more stringent lines! I accidentally put a scratch in the grinning god.
