"... so even if you take one act of prayer, the subject changes in Goddess and Virginity."

A small chapel inside the central temple.

In a quiet space surrounded by boneless stone walls, I am now receiving a man-to-man lecture from the Virgin.

"Goddess religion, which seeks salvation by the goddess, of course, prays to the goddess, right? That's very easy to understand...... Does it mean that the Virgin Church doesn't pray to the Goddess?

"We may also pray to the goddess. But the essence of Virgin Church lies in self-salvation. If you are looking to the goddess for help in everything, you will have trouble with the goddess. We pray for and bless the life that abounds in this world"

The day we arrived in the Holy Capital, we quickly ended up with something to do with all the hospitality and reciprocal introductions and explanations of how we lived.

But no way, I had no idea that the next day would just begin a lecture on divine magic by the Virgin.

I probably thought somewhere in my heart that the Virgin really didn't have the hassle to be firm and teach me. I would be lucky if you could tell me at the end of things, I would have thought about it in a position of...

It was quite a bee.

I'm sorry about something.

"Are you a goddess who begs the goddess for salvation and a virgin who manages to work hard on her own...... When you hear something like that, it sounds more like a goddess."

"You're not saying which is right, are you? Because there is no pride in the heart seeking salvation. It's just... well, maybe it's the difference in approach."

"Approach…, is it"

The first Virgin was a nun when she first received the gospel from the Goddess of Light. Everyone lives like a monk here in the Virgin Temple.

That seems to be no exception even for the Lord and Virgin, the head of the temple.

This was a little surprising.

So of course, we were asked to work together to follow the rules of our lives, even though we would be treated as national guests while we were here.... Just please.

Because we are outsiders, they don't make us enforce such strict rules. I'm just a little relieved about that.

The morning starts with getting up before dawn and cleaning around you.

Basically, you have to do your thing yourself.

Then there is the time for meditation in the morning of freedom of participation, and after the doctrine of the Master and the Great, we begin to grab breakfast in turn.

I was just asked to join in on this if I could.

It helps plain.

Everyone wants to sleep in the morning.

The breakfast is very simple, with diluted milk and decent oatmeal, boiled vegetable salt soup. Two shards of bacon and a simmering bean.... and that's it.

I say that the order of eating exactly is the same from the high-ranking people, such as the Master and the Virgin, but the content of the meal itself is the same.

Naturally, we're with you.

I'm really healthy and hungry.

Before everything, the forefathers had separate menus for those in high positions. When it became the current Milliardo corporation, it became like this without the hassle of making something else.

Other clerics told me, yes, secretly.

Myriad Law is a stoic, isn't it?

He also has a lot of confidence when he listens around.

After a little thought, the Virgin opened her hands and showed them.

"Suppose this left hand is our heart seeking salvation from the goddess, and this right hand is our heart seeking self-salvation"

The Virgin combines her hands straight in front of her chest.

"But whichever it is, this is how we combine our hands and pray silently when we pray. Can you say that one hand or the other holds the other at this time?"

"Eh, I'm holding my hands together,... which way"

Combine your hands in front of you and try to move them just fine.

Giggle... Giggle.

... Which one is there or what? This.

"If you put your hands together to pray, whatever the object of your prayer is, your wishes will be sincere."

"... I see. The point is, you can either."

"As the head of the Virgin Church, I can't say either loud, but that's the point."

Not a otherwise troubled wind, the Virgin smiled.

Sure. The Virgin, that's not what the Virgin of the day would call 'either good'.... excuse me.

When breakfast is over and each one proceeds to the task assigned to him, from there I will be the time for a lecture by the Virgin.

I'm the only special lecture on luxury.

I also tried to invite Bell Adne and Lean Shades or something, but the Demons didn't originally have the proper sacred magic, and they refused to listen to me for nothing.

They say it's kind of due to the formation of people and demons.

Various explanations have been given, but it is man who was born with the blessing of the Goddess of Light, and it is all sorts of demons who were born with the blessing of the Goddess of Darkness, so that the sacred magic that requires the protection of light cannot be used by demons without its protection?

I've learned the difference between people and demons in one place or another.

You made such a difference.

So I am acting differently at this time with everyone.

Of course, we're discussing the groundwork for an agreement with the lawyers, but for some reason, at the request of the lawyers, Leanscheid was to join us here.

He wants to talk to you about something.

I don't know Bel Adone.

Probably somewhere.

Adolphus and Ponta-kun use this time to train. With the knights with the temple.

... Well, I think it's a good thing to deepen our friendship.

Sure, at first glance, I can't hide my surprise that we're all unexpectedly blending in here, although I'm not sure I know I'm a demon.

I think it's a big thing that we're from the land of demons, because we're lying low outside of some people.

On a personal level of dating, I realize that whether you're human or Demonic, you're not that different after all.

"Virgin religion had only a decentralized image of Goddess, but when you hear it like this, it kind of makes a lot of difference."

In terms of the size of the faithful communities, Goddess is overwhelmingly wider.

Until now, I thought it was simply an up and down relationship, but this is how I know why I'm asking.

Goddess religion in prayer to the goddess of light.

Virgin Church seeking self-help.

Maybe it's because Goddess is easier to understand.

"It's definitely a division, though. It is only unhelpful for those who use the same goddess of light as a pillar of faith to dare to bump claims against each other.... just, well, there's some people who don't agree with that."

"Because what I believe is the best, isn't that what you have to do?... or else it will be a denial of the faith itself in the first place"

"Faith is what is within oneself and should be. It's not made up of a power relationship with another person.... I heard that Virginism is common in Mr. Lefia's village"

Um, twist your head and try to remember.

To be honest, I don't feel like I've been living my life thinking about it much Goddess or Virgin.

It was just that the goddess of light was amazing.

I don't think it's just me, but I think we all do.

'Cause if it's Virgin or Goddess, I don't grow wheat just because I'm praying, and you can't avoid demons and go by.

"I think maybe it was Virgin... but I'm not sure where I'm being honest. I touched the fold and prayed to thank the goddess of light, because that was all about form, too. And so did the others."

"Which denomination is actually not that important.... Please don't tell me I said this either. However, the essence of sacred magic lies in prayer. If you're vague about what the hell you're praying for, you can't get your prayers anywhere."

The essence of sacred magic is in prayer......

……

……

Is that it? I wonder what.

Do I see it somewhere?

I have felt it strongly before.

I do think so, huh?

Where did you see it?

Beyond a blurry memory, a definite sense of reality.

... I kind of feel like there are a lot of these lately.

What is it? I wonder if you're here in a mess, me.

What gets me bogged down before the demon king gets bald......

I don't like anything.

"Prayer must be sincere. Of course, technical things such as building a surgical ceremony and adjusting the magic distribution are important, but let's start by thinking about what the hell you're praying for."

"Yes."

Prayer must be sincere.

I see.

Don't mess with me.

Don't mess with me.

It's a mess.

……

What am I supposed to pray for? This.
