In a Different World with a Smartphone

This religion is strange in the first place, it has only spread almost exclusively in your own country to you, which has existed for 1,000 years. Unlike our world, there's magic, so even though there's no such thing as an obvious "miracle of God," what about its low prevalence?

If I could use healing magic in the original world, I'd be a patriarch of emerging religions in no time. There may be a guy named Squid Sama, but it's true that he healed his injury, so at least he can believe it in person. But here I am thankful, but it doesn't take me as a "miracle of God". It's magic. Because it's normal over here.

Religion, I say, but if that had been solidified around as a matter of course, wouldn't it be a country that would have to be accepted? I believe in God. Dominance like mind control, not not belief.

In fact, not a single country has an alliance with this country. Is there something only in this country, in the land of Kako?

Again and again, is it useless to think against the religion and common sense of my world? Even though I doubt this world is as round as Earth.

I feel something distorted, unlike the religion of our world. I can't really feel anything like that to save people or for the peace of mind. I can feel that I don't tolerate hostile things.

I came to this country and I understood that very well. There is definitely something behind this country.

"That's why they caught me on purpose."

"Ha..."

Explain to Amber, who has subtle eyes, in an underground iron lattice. Really. Are we the bad guys unilaterally, even if we're raging there? If you're going to do it, grab some solid evidence. Well, I can't deny I've done it with momentum.

"So, what are you going to do now?

"... what do you think I should do?

Amber's eyes became more and more subtle. I know, I'm kidding.

"I guess we'll keep Phyllis safe for now. Then gather information. We have to get out of here first."

Dim dungeons are about six tatami in size. Stone walls and cobblestones, sturdy iron plaid. Isn't it terrible to treat a king of another country? How much did you deny God to yourself? Come on. Or are you a werewolf deceiving the name of Lord Brunhild?

Impossible. Then you can do anything later, even if you execute me. Even if they say something from our country, they didn't come, did they?

Well, no, let's just get out of here.

"Mirage"

Create the illusion of me and Amber and place it in the corner of the cabin. It's a hassle to be gone and make a scene.

I tried to use the "gate," but the junction is stretched. That bald priest must have gotten into wisdom. Well, there are other ways out.

"Whoa, we have to disappear before then."

Use light magic "Invisible" and become transparent with Amber. Now I and Amber can see each other, but no one else can.

"Modeling" distorts the iron lattice and leaves the barn. If it stays like this, I'll fix the iron lattice properly.

He climbed a thin staircase and exited on the upper floor into a stone aisle lined with doors to the left and right. In the back you can see the stairs climbing further up. You're still underground here. I guess there's a barn number ahead.

The door lined up had a number swinging, and the door I came up to said "4".

"Map search. Phyllis Rugit."

"Copy that. End of search"

According to the map of the temple reflected from the smartphone, from here, behind your right hand, the dungeon at the door of the number "8"?

Erase the map immediately. The smartphone itself has magically disappeared, but the footage shown in the air remains intact. It's not good to be seen.

Open the door to the "8" number and go further down the stairs leading to the dim basement.

The staircase ended immediately, and there was Phyllis nagging inside the poking cabin. Good, you're safe. I don't even seem to have been tortured or anything.

Is that it? Aren't you alone? Someone else is lying on the floor.

"Phyllis... Phyllis..."

I can't shout too loud, so I try to whisper and speak up. After several calls, Phyllis slowly looked up.

"My voice... who? Who...?

Phyllis begins to look around the area with a chill. Oh, well, you were disappearing.

Solve the "Invisible" and reveal yourself.

"His Majesty the King of Brunhild......!!

Place the amazing Phyllis and distort the iron lattice with "modeling". I just laid my body down and went inside. Yeah? That's a little bigger than the barn I was in. Discriminating.

"Why are you here......!?

"I'm here to help you. I heard he was going to be executed because of me."

"No! Not because of His Majesty or anything! I...!

"Shh, my voice is loud"

Phyllis blocks his mouth with both hands in a hurry.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Apparently, you didn't hear me, or even thought it was one person. There is no sign of a gatekeeper coming.

"Who's sleeping there, by the way? Is that a woman?

"This man… no, this man… is Elias Ortola, under the papal authority of this country…"

"Huh!?

I shouted up unexpectedly, and now I block my own mouth.

Elias Ortola!? What Pope...!? Huh, the tight-eyed old lady I met in the hall earlier!?... then you're not. It's completely different. I peek at your sleeping face again, but this one has a softer look. Although she is about the same age as my grandmother earlier.

"Huh!? This guy is Elias Ortola!? I just met a guy named Pope."

"... that's probably someone else. Are you about the same age and have sharp eyes?

"Yeah, it was like that"

"That person is probably Cardinal Curray. I'm Cardinal Zeon's sister."

You're the sister-in-law with the nasty beard. Oh, come on. You're telling me you tailored a fake pope to show me? So all those guys over there are glue? What's going on, this?

"Sorry, I can't see the story. Can you explain it properly?

Phyllis said that he told the Popes the jewellery of things after he returned home. The Cardinals are angry with her for denying her own God and disputing her doctrine. I immediately ordered her to be executed. But it was the Pope who took it up and some priests who disagreed, he said.

I never thought the Pope would turn to his own defense for denying God, and he was a surprised Phyllis, but he was brought here as he was.

And days went by, and now a debilitated pope was brought here, he said.

"But what brings the Pope to his house again..."

"… it is to protect the secrets of this country…"

The Pope opened his eyes and looked at me. Were you awake? The Pope's eyes had a blue right eye and a light emerald color to his left. You have the same demon eye as Yumina?

"Brunhild, Your Majesty, right...... It is Elias Ortola…"

His Holiness wakes up powerless and calls himself that. but a lot more so. We need to get him recovered first.

Apply "Recovery" and "Refresh" to restore health. And "cure heels" all the time. I wondered why I didn't do it myself, but since I believe in the God of Light, isn't there a limited use of light magic? He said there are few attributes of light and darkness.

Fantasy games, monks using healing magic, healing with the help of God, is classic, though. If that were the case, it would have spread more faith.

"... thank you. It's totally better."

"That was good. So, why were you brought here? He said it was a national secret."

…………

He was a pope who remained silent for a while, but raised his face as he had decided to.

"This is a secret about the founding of our Church, but there will be no point hiding it from you anymore. As Phyllis said, there is no God named God of Light Lars"

Surprised. I didn't know the Pope would deny the Lord God. Even Phyllis, who was lying next to me, is surprised.

"All Cardinals know this. I was also taught by the former Pope when I became Cardinal from the Priest."

Does that mean that, after knowing, you were even swinging to the faithful like there was a god?

No, but it's crazy. We're actually seeing God, so we can't be sure if he's here or not. How can you be sure there's no God of Light Lars?

"Originally, the land was home to warcraft, demons, evil spirits, etc. It was Lady Ramirez, known as the cleric of light, who showed up there. But Lady Ramirez wasn't a cleric or anything."

"Not a cleric...?

Ramirez is the guy who founded Ramish, isn't he? What's this all about?

"Lady Ramirez wasn't a cleric or anything, he was actually a summoner. He was a wizard of dark attributes."

"Nah......!

"It is said that Lord Ramirez called to purify this land is God of Light Lars, but the truth is different. It was the Spirit of Darkness that he invoked, which he invoked by summoning. And with that power, after crusading the demons and warcraft of the land, Lady Ramirez came up with one plan and moved it into action."

After all, as God said, was it the Spirit who called you? And darkness, not light. Either way, enough to summon the Spirit. So I guess he was pretty powerful, that Ramirez thing. But the plan?

"Lady Ramirez thought about building a kingdom in this land, using the power that the Spirit of Darkness possesses, the power to interfere with the spirit. That's where Larusism was made. The Spirit of Darkness interfered with the spirit of those who inhabit the land and directed them to be in tune with Lady Ramirez's thoughts. Most people accepted Ramirez's teachings without question, and a country called the Ramish was born."

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What the hell? Isn't that brainwashing? No, maybe it's not like direct brainwashing, but you mean synchronizing it to your thoughts... making it hypnotic?

"Was the spiritual interference of the Dark Spirit that strong?

"It's about making it easier to accept Lady Ramirez's ideas, but it seemed ineffective for those with excellent magic resistance. For this reason, a being called God of Light Lars was created. Spiritual interference and God. By manipulating these two, Lady Ramirez grasped the hearts and minds of people."

You're a hell of a guy, that Ramirez guy. Surely this is an unacceptable secret to leak outside. The very existence of the denomination could collapse. A denomination that believes in the God of Light was actually aroused by the power of the Spirit of Darkness, etc.

"... I understand the secrecy of the denomination. But why was the Pope trapped here?

"Because I covered Phyllis, you suspected he was trying to divulge a secret. Cardinal Curry and Cardinal Zeon's sister and brother originally aimed for the status of pope, so they have impeached me with boats and all on the crossing. Eventually he took a weird pill and noticed this appearance. He didn't kill me to give up the Pope."

I see. When I visited earlier, I didn't know what I was talking about, and I don't have a pope, so I wondered if I'd done a play and see how it went. There was something about Phyllis, and I guess he was on guard. But that's a pretty rough deal.

"But why did the Pope cover Phyllis? From the Pope's point of view, isn't there any need to help her, who made a statement that could rock the existence of God?

Yes, it is. If it were the Pope's position, the presence of Phyllis should only be a disturber.

"... I believed in God and became a priest. Believing I could work for God even more, when I eventually became Cardinal, I was informed of the truth. the fact that there is no such thing as God. Since then I've just been working for the denomination. I knew a big secret, and I couldn't turn back."

Well, I guess so. If you want to get out of the church, don't ever be erased. No mouth for the dead. I learned the secrets of the Order. That's why I'm a Lotus Trustee.

"And when I realized, I stood in the papal position. It was a vain position, but I still couldn't throw it out. And I heard Phyllis the other day. The story that God exists."

With that said, the former pope turns his gaze towards Phyllis. He smiled and made his voice play with joy, and he spoke to me.

"Do you know how I felt then? The God of Light Lars did not exist. But there is a girl who says that God does exist and has met God. Wouldn't it be surprising if you wanted to hear more of God's word that she heard?

"But you didn't think Phyllis was lying?

When I asked him that, the former pope pointed to his left eye. The color of the light green eyes darkens.

"I have a demonic eye that can spot people's lies. This is also one of the reasons why he was elected Pope...... I soon found out Phyllis wasn't lying. I was so happy to know that God was really there. And I envied her. I wanted to see God too..."

His Holiness the Pope snuffs. Oh, I could read some developments after this, I... I can clearly see the flag just now!

Look at the amber on the side. Look, it's stopped!

"Did you call him?

Let the grains of bright light come together and God descends into a dim dungeon.

So this god Nori is too light!
