It's all one flower.
434. Contradictions and sense of obstruction
Farkil sits shallow on the couch and puts a harsh gaze on Lazolnik's tablet terminal. The terminal placed on the low table showed a map of the Alton Gaza continent.
The Republic of Banksia is home to the Holy Land of Kirkulus, which flourishes as a centre of faith. There were more colleges than I could count for the collection of wisdom (etsu) that supports and develops scientific civilization.
"The university, for once, is the University of Rufus, and a year from there... well, it's been a long time, maybe three years, studying at some university in Banksia"
Farkill's father looked at his junior high son's transcript and said his unsolicited aspirations even as a matter of course. The university, which bears the name of Artel's capital, is the most difficult narrow gateway in the Artel Republic.
My father is indifferent to what Farkill is interested in and what he wants to learn because of what he will hold in the future. We are trying to use Farkill's life for our own stability in old age in a birth course that we can boast of around us and will be able to get paid high in the future.
Farkill remembered his father's words from the map and made his expression rude.
Razornik, the blonde wizard, only has an information guerrilla, which examines the current situation in the Kirkurus country very closely.
"I don't know what's real about the overflowing information, the surveillance using information equipment is tight, and there's bullying using it and it's stressful, but the church doesn't do anything for me. Generations above parents are difficult to talk to because Hanashi is losing her way over the matter of faith. Hooked up in a weird emerging religion that gives you an easy answer, or vice versa in science and dumped in witchcraft... well, a lot of Co's are sneaking up on Kirkrus for various reasons."
Farkil, seemingly gnawed that he had been told about himself, tried to disguise himself as calm and did not take his eyes off the map.
As Lazolnik puts it, Farkil is not the only young man in the Kirkuri country who is inclined to witchcraft.
Breaking through the censorship and regulation of the Artel government with illegal tools, the free information space popped in by Farkil was overflowing with Kirkurist beliefs and rebellions against immobilized values.
Articles of the incident flooding the news site and various opinions on it, the social problems of the countries of the continent of Alton Gaza, formerly under the colonial rule of the Kirkulus, voices of resentment against the former Patriarchate, pointing to and criticism of the dual norms that do not recognize pagan cultures and promote globalism, whilst sharing multicultural symbiosis…
Non-participation in Sunday prayer as a conversion to paganism, a tendency to witchcraft, a demonstration for terrorism and multicultural symbiosis in the Kirkulus Church everywhere, and a slight resistance at the individual level...... Actual behavior varied, but Kirkulus society had a sense of obstruction and a bunch of lumps trying to break it were twofold and rolling.
...... Mr. Razornik is right.
It incorporates magic not only in church buildings and summer festival dances, but also in various other places. Such a dual norm was not limited to the Republic of Banksia.
The Federation of Barbatum, a permanent member of the United Nations, is essentially a Kirkuri nation, although it expressly enshrines freedom of belief and freedom of expression in the Constitution of the Union, before its establishment.
While the state religion imposes various conditions on people in non-Kirkuri countries to obtain visas (visas), people in Kirkuri countries, such as the Republic of Artel, do not need a visa per se.
Neither the cumbersome (soluble) immigration screening imposed on pagans, nor the costs and time involved in the process, are exempt simply by saying that Kirkulus is a people of a country that defines itself as a state religion.
If I don't call this "discrimination against pagans," what can I call it?
"In Banksia and Barbatum, if the culprit in the case was a heathen, he's reporting it with a special emphasis on that part. Even if it's a stupid scam or a soggy case of just stealing a treat."
"Is this biased reporting to lower the reputation of pagans?
"The boulders, the curse doctors, they're very helpful. Even if Kirkurists shoot guns at schools and kill a lot of kids, they don't say," Kirkurists killed kids indiscriminately. "
Farkil was immersed in his thoughts as he overheard half the story of Razornik and the spelldoctor Septentorio.
When I was at my parents' house in Ignikans City, such news was treated like every day.
Newspapers, magazines, television, radio...... news sites too, the media in the Artel Republic always reported foreign news that way, planting bad impressions on people about pagans. If that is the crime of a powerful people, then it is even worse. He was reporting repeatedly, emphasizing how a crime using witchcraft was vile and brutal.
On the other hand, if the culprit is a Kirkulus, "an incorruptible soul without original sin has made a mistake. Even if you hate sin, do not hate those who have made mistakes. Let's pray that the lost soul can return to the right path of the stars," the announcer calls out.
The larger the case and the greater the number of victims, the more its calls increased and forced the victims to cry to sleep.
The hearts and rights of the murdered victims and of the people deprived of their loved ones and in mourning were trampled on with earthly feet, and there was an air of not even being allowed to shed tears of sorrow in public.
"Cry forever like that and don't blame me"
"Do not resent the soul of innocence who made mistakes"
"Abandon hatred and forgive sins and mistakes."
"Your soul will also be saved by showing love"
The priests and devout followers of Kirkulus pray for the peace of the soul of the deceased, but do not even allow the victim to cry, spitting such words out of his same mouth, and generously defend the rights of the perpetrator.
Compensation for victims and survivors was borne by secular governments, while spiritual support was borne by health care providers and secular volunteer organizations.
That was true of Farkill's bullying, but in Kirkurist society, that seems to be the case in every country.
Interactive bulletin boards on the Internet, where many Banksians and Barbatums gathered, overflowed with discontent that could not be spoken of in real life society, from a slightly annoying matter of stupidity to life-threatening serious consultation as it was.
