Let's Manage The Tower

(1) State religion

Towa and Kokoro came to the management.

It is unusual for these two busy people to come together, but I was able to quickly understand what business they were on the contrary.

"Ah, are you ready?

Towa and Kokoro nodded with a serious face when they heard that they were about to face each other.

"Yes"

Recently, they have been busy accepting ordinary guests to the Lily Jingu Shrine.

Witches who would be the administrators of each shrine were also chosen and ready to accept it, but since the Yuriyuki Shrine itself would be a worship method in a form other than others, Towa was moving to make it known.

It is impossible to be fully known, but to a certain extent the organization used the name Kokoro to spread the treatment of Lily Jingu.

However, I used an organization called the Country to spread the word as widely as possible this time, but it was the cause that caused the trouble.

One of them was a problem for the King, Towa.

"Problem?"

Having heard the story from Towa, Kaiseki leaned his neck without thinking of anything.

Looking at it, Twa shrugs her shoulders and answers.

"The story itself is simple. Father, we are talking about creating a national religion with a human god as its main god."

"Reject"

Towa nodded with a serious look at the assistant who answered immediately.

"That's what I said. It is difficult to suppress the strength of the faith of the present god."

"Even a king?

"Even if you are a king, you are a king.... no. Because I'm a king, I guess."

With a slightly bitter face, Towa replied.

In the first place, Razek Amamiya was a country that gained the trust of the gods of the present.

Floria, the first king, is particularly conscious among the people that he ruled the country on behalf of God.

Given the flow, it is not surprising that the current god is tailored as the chief god of the state religion.

Moreover, recently, the entire Central Continent has been recognized as a sanctuary of modern gods.

It is no wonder that with the growing faith of people living on the continent, there is talk of how to establish a national religion.

That's why Towa is struggling to refuse and cope.

Looking at Towa's face, which looked like it contained bitter things, Kokoro supplemented it even more.

"To be honest, people's expectations have grown considerably with the rumors of the Lily Jingu Shrine.... you might say it's getting too big."

Until now, there had been no shrines or shrines where witches were officially enshrined.

The current situation is that people's faith has grown along with rumors of the Lily Jingu Shrine, and the establishment of the national religion has also grown expectations.

"Ah, that's so uncontrollable that you can't declare Twa useless?

"No, we can keep it down now. But there's always something left behind."

Even if you wait for the establishment of the state religion under the authority of the King, there will always be a lump (...) among the people.

That could leave a subtle scratch on your standing as king in the future.

With such a scratch, it is not much damage given the popularity of the current Twa, but it is unclear what will happen if we think about the future.

State management can sometimes be such a small lump that it grows later.

Towa, who was to be placed in a delicate position, turned to Kaiseki.

"Somehow... many people don't really understand why the enactment of the state religion is useless."

In the first place, the Goddesses of Earthgard do not allow it publicly.

Some countries have enacted national religions, but they never do.

If I dare say so, I don't think I need to go out of my way to crush it.

The gods do not allow the establishment of a national religion because it may lead to a battle between nations.

The gods, including Kaiseki, are well aware that faith is sometimes used as a precursor to war.

That's why loose polytheistic doctrines like these are now the mainstream of the world.

"It's a world where faith is rarely used to build battles between nations. I don't know what to do."

Religious warfare rarely occurs because "God's Wrath" may fly in if you are bad at it.

But it's only "almost", not absolutely.

I sighed at the words of Kokoro after sighing, as did Kaiseki.

"I can't help it. On that matter, I... ah, no. Should I give you a kouhi or a mite?"

"Eh!?

Towa and Kokoro looked surprised at the words of the unexpected study assistant.

The two predicted that they would give the official deity of the real-world god as before.

I didn't expect Kasuke himself to say that Kouhi and Mitsuki, the spokespersons, would come out.

To their surprise, the examiners turned to an unexpected expression.

"Is that so surprising? I thought it would be better to make a statement of intent from the beginning, anyway?

"Manifesto... that will certainly be more than ever..."

It seems to have a huge impact.

If Kouhi or Mitsuki really shows up and announces the will of the living gods, it may not only fall within the Central Continent, but spread around the world.

It is too unknown to predict what impact it will have.

Sylvia, who had been listening in silence to Twa and Kokoro, who had clouded her face, came out with her mouth.

"Towa, Kokoro. Either way, it's impossible to have less influence than the gods will be involved."

"No, that's a little..."

Sylvia shook her neck to the side as she looked down on the auxiliary examiner.

"No, it's not just about Mr. Kouske. If we pull this off badly, other gods will come out."

If it were to be a big battle in the name of God, there would almost certainly be gods out there.

That's what Sylvia was talking about.

In the words of Sylvia, Tova and Kokoro became the face of Ah, and Kokuri nodded.

"That's what I'm talking about. If that's the case, I think you should use Kouhi and Mitsuki."

I see, was that so?

Speaking for the gods before they arrive directly is certainly less damaging.

The concern of Kaiseki and Sylvia is that the gods will intervene when it matters.

Looking at the nodding colo, Towa also looked ready.

"If that's the case, can I leave it to you?"

The attitude was not as a parent or a child, but as a believer who lived before God.

Towa said this without coordination with his men because there is a precedent that God cannot stop doing things.

And that's why Towa has this attitude.

Looking at that area, I thought that Towa was having a lot of trouble, but I kept nodding without any particular tearing it up.

After all, Kouchi and Mitsuki, who had not appeared in front of people for a long time (without knowing their faces), did their job properly in response to the request for assistance.

The story that the human gods do not want to be festivaled as a national religion will spread throughout the continent during that day.
