Kyuuketsu Hime wa Barairo no Yume o Miru

There is a sense of the earth that I have stepped on.

Warm sunshine, breezy breezes, little bird chirps, and sweet smells of flowers are all around.

There was no such thing as a fog, and a peaceful sight seemed to flow around at high speeds, about to fall into the illusion of getting lost in some strange spot on the continent.

"... and to thank you, I don't have the currency of this land."

"Walklader," he laid his hips down with his knees aligned in the rear seat of a bipedal bike-like magic machine, and with his hands to avoid falling ("Sinner of the Rose (Jill de Leye)" and "Good Luck of the Rose" on his back. "La Vi Ann Rose" stowed away because it would get in the way of boulders) he grabbed Johnny's shoulder and spoke to its back, which he was steering in a familiar motion.

"No, I don't need any money. It's simply my favor."

Johnny replied with ease that it has a handle but is almost decorative and operated by flowing a divine force (meggin) (probably the same as magic) onto the central control ball (orb).

It's not just this magic machine, but it seems to me that civilization using magic, at least, has made a lot more progress here than "the continent," even if it doesn't look particularly surprising when it comes to punishing "Sinner of the Rose (Jill de Leye)" on the bow-shaped pochette of my hips, which I am a magic tool (magic item).

As they sent me to the Sacred Capital Facsimile, I asked him to guide the city with a damned note, and I asked him with inner vigilance about his eagle attitude, which he understood in two replies.

"Hmm... I'm sorry, but 'Anything Store' is such a lucrative business?

"That's really rude. No, it's kind of like a hobby, so it's not gonna make any money. - But it's not about making money or anything, and if you don't do good deeds, the 'karma value' won't rise, will it?

"What is karma value?

Speaking of which, there was an item like that on the National Card that you showed me earlier. It sure looks like Johnny was a 'plus 63'......

"... I have to explain from there."

Sigh Johnny.

So, to summarise what was explained to the roads...

The people of the Millennium Kingdom are baptized at birth.

A 'national card' is issued in conjunction with it.

The people are all ecclesiastical believers and are thus managed and protected.

Essentially, there is no ascending or descending status, but the clergy has the right and duty to direct and supervise the citizens of Grade B and below who, as Class A citizens, are the general public.

"Karma values" are automatically accounted for by how much good and evil an individual has done on a daily basis (that God always sees them), and the higher the number, the closer they are to God, the more respect and preference they are given to believers.

Apparently so. Incidentally, when the point is negative, penal provisions (penalties) apply and, in minor cases, service is mandatory until positive, and if you commit a felony, such as murder, you are imprisoned in an institution called The Monastery of the Endless Soul, which purifies your soul...... but the details are unknown because there are no returned human beings.

Besides the Millennium Kingdom, there seems to be almost no civilized country, and Johnny also asked me wondering where I came from, but I don't know this one very well, so I had to answer vaguely.

Well, if I were normal, I'd definitely be treated like a suspicious person.

"This too, I'm sure, will guide the Lord"

And I eventually put it in my mouth. So I'm convinced, people are good or careless... you're about to get lost in judgment.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

I narrowed my eyes to the landscape of the Sacred Capital Facsimile, which I quickly reached.

To the Sacred Capital of the world over there, as much as I passed over during Gotagota with Shima, I never went directly to it... but at first glance I could see that the Sacred Capital of the world here is distinctly different from there.

Never before seen, high-rise architecture lined with gorgeous walls like jointless spirals, with elegant bridge-like objects between buildings. Boulevards and other intersecting places became like squares in the air, planted with bright grass flowers and greenery.

The roads were all sorted out, and besides the bipedal magic machines that resembled Johnny's riding 'Walklader', it was flourishing like a car with circular tires. Looking up at the sound of wings, a personal flying machine with wings trembling like insect wings is flying swiftly between buildings.

"It's a fine city."

Johnny put his chest up like mine.

"I guess so. It's all thanks to God."

At the tip of pointing that out, I could see a huge blue tower that was so huge that it wouldn't be a problem at all when compared from the surrounding skyscrapers, just like rushing through heaven.

"Could it be The Tower of the Pale God?

"Whoa, did you know about the boulder?!? Yeah. It's the heart of this world where there's the Ethereal God!

"- Huh. It is."

I see. So the intentions of the Ethereal God still work.

Talking about that, I appropriately strolled around the city following Johnny's guide that parked 'Walklader' in the corner of the city - probably in the parking lot.

- You're oddly not lively.

That was the feeling that came to my mind all the time.

The city is thriving, and there are a lot of people. I feel like I've seen it, the people in the city I go to seem nutritious, and they seem to have plenty of life... but for some reason it seemed less lively in Bob's eyes than Ara, Willide, or Livitium, the capital of Cilento, which was a small country on the border.

"Speaking of which, aren't you hungry? There's a delicious restaurant nearby, but let's go together. Because I luxury."

"- Right. Okay, sweet words and a treat."

I'm not particularly hungry, but I decided to ride that invitation. I don't know what I don't know from the outside, but if I deal with it directly, I might know what it is.

When I walked into the dining room, it was like lunch. There were quite a few people in there.

"There you go. I'm sorry, but it's crowded, so I'm gonna be your seat, okay?

"I can't help it. - What do we do, Scarlet Snow?

"I wouldn't mind."

There were 4-5 men in the table seats for 8 who were guided by a female wager, and the "Ethereal God" and "That's the Ethereal God" of what alcohol was not in were exuberant.

"Hi, I'm new to this city, but you guys look like you're having fun"

As casually as possible, I approached the men who were interested in chatting and eating to say hello.

"Whoa, lady, that's not true. Where did you come from?

"That's a good one I've never seen. I wonder if he's foreign."

"A pilgrimage? Young but great."

"Oh, don't hesitate. Sit down. The rice in the Holy City is delicious."

"Well, excuse me."

Though I don't know if it's the influence of karma values or if people are good from the beginning, like Johnny, I sat on the table on the surface, even though I felt internally complicated compared to the Holy King and his people, who took the original world clandestine system and thoroughly oppressed and ostracized non-heathens and the human race, for lack of vigilance that would accept the rest with little prying. Next door Johnny also says hello and sits down.

Immediately, the surrounding customers were involved, and they gathered around me in a nostalgic way.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"That's a lot of happiness."

I didn't want to, but half forcefully, I had a treat for that or this or them present, and I blossomed into a worldly tale with no other love, but I cut it up in the right place and left the store with Johnny.

Oh, God bless this place.

With Johnny's attitude of agreeing without any doubt while walking and the conversation between the men in the dining room who had been present until just now, I somehow felt that I could grasp the identity of the tiredness I had felt throughout this city.

Most of their stories were praises for the Ethereal God.

"If you have a god, you're safe."

"The Ethereal God brings us happiness"

"Whatever it is, the Ethereal God gives it to me"

"Hunger? Here. Then pray and you'll reap five times a year."

"They say the Barbarians have invaded before, but the Ethereal God has repelled them with one blow"

"There's no way a natural disaster can happen. The Lord of heaven is here."

And I say with my mouth together at the end.

"As long as there is a god, this country is cheap. And if we do good in this world, eternity will be promised even in the post-mortem world '

To be honest with them about how they enjoyed peace as if it were natural, they opened up and left the store.

"- Unlike that one, it looks like we're showing God plenty over here... it's extreme, isn't it? You're making a complete mistake."

"Are you saying I'm wrong, you mean the Ethereal God?

He heard a slight grunt, and Johnny got a mixed look of doubt and discomfort.

I can't help it if I hear you.

I reopened and I said what I thought.

"Don't you see? The lack of human vibrancy in this city, the dusk atmosphere that allows you to get into the whole city. This is because people take refuge in the Aoshi God for granted."

The Absolute always gives.

Those with mighty power protect me.

People who feel comfortable with it stop making progress. Even if there is a difficulty, "pray to the Ethereal God and he will do something about it," even in the face of the difficulty, he stops thinking, "It is the guidance of the Ethereal God".

In the end, a given tranquil life left to others, rather than the peace we have created ourselves, would be typical of easily corrupting humans.

"You're saying that I... that we're wrong?

I leaned my neck toward Johnny, who would have an unpleasant look on the boulder.

"Come on. Because it's unclear what the Ethereal God is thinking in the first place. However, I think the Ethereal God's way is wrong."

………

Johnny was staring at me silently for a few seconds, but when he turned his back on Puy, he had a frustrating tone.

"Then you should ask the Ethereal God directly. Follow me, I'll show you to the tower."

That said, I started walking early enough for the city centre - the 'Tower of the Pale God'.

"Fine, even if the others go in on their own?

"I'm not banned from anything else. I'm just saying that I can't meet the Ethereal God without having a higher karma value, so it's likely to be wasted.... but somehow I feel like I might meet you."

Looking back, I'll add that, Johnny.

"Huh. Well, if you're ever going to meet a god, it's lucky."

Well, sooner or later, the Tower of the Pale God is convenient when it comes to convenience because I was going to take a trip.

Then I asked him what he had in mind.

"By the way, I was overheard in the dining room earlier. Do you know the name 'Grawior' or the clan?

Surprisingly, Johnny blinked and thought.

"Grawior? No, I'm sorry, but I know - no, I wonder if there was such a clan as' Gravia 'with a similar name. Uh, sure... about 10 years ago, when the barbarians of the East surrendered to the Sacred Church, I wonder if the Ethereal God gave such a name and blessed his head.... So, is that proof that the clan on the head has turned into silver hair?... Hey, are you from over there?

"No, I just have a personal relationship with that clan."

Answer appropriately and line up for Johnny.

Johnny looked at me like he was going to explore me like that, but you decided it was no use asking me any more, and I started walking half a step forward again.

Running after it, I was alone in my chest.

"Surely the history of the Grawior Empire was more than 800 years, and I wonder if the current EON was 1000 years"

The pronunciation is slightly different, but if Johnny's words are true, you'd be the first in that clan to think of them because of their characteristics.

From the moment I saw the "Tower of the Pale God", I sighed, confirming the facts I had felt faintly.

"... I mean, this is definitely the Eon Holy Kingdom's capital facsimile, but you're going back 800-1000 years"

To an unexplained development, I sighed again looking up at the 'Tower of the Pale God'.
