Master’s Smile

Episode Three Hundred and Ten (Not Yet)

What does this mean?

"What do you mean, huh?

A little after that horrible time of prayer, me, Van Peel, and Anato were in a small room prepared for the church to make penance.

Already, the faithful went home with their daily prayers or something.

... Did you do that every day...

The faithful thought it was just something that would push me so tightly because I came to the subject of faith, but that's not the case. I've knelt and prayed at a certain distance. Scary.

No, I have trouble getting pushed over, but when they treat me so dearly... I'm scared.

Well, this is how I can talk to Anato now thanks to the fact that they didn't turn into a thug......

I look at Nico and Anato smiling with unspeakable emotions.

What do you mean? It's this unusual rate of spread of masterhood.

It's only been a few weeks since I gave you permission, right?

How can you be powerful enough to control half of Vasuil's demonic kingdom?

"People in this country didn't believe in religion. Ah. It's very hard to convert, but it's easy to solicit non-religious people. Wow."

Sure, because you wouldn't be able to try to saddle an angelic believer into masterhood.

The moment I take it, depending on the depth of my faith, I'm going to be attacked.

And, but is that all the reason for how much and everything?

You said I couldn't, didn't you?

"Ma'am. I'm not breaking the master's words, am I? God's Word."

Since when have I become a god?

God used to...... well, this is no good.

But there's no way you're lying to Nico and Anato laughing.

Although it is very difficult to understand, this child has a habit of moving his eyes while closing them when he lies.

The lack of it really means I guess Anato hasn't forced it or anything.

So, but... then how can we create such a powerful and enthusiastic and dangerous believer?

"That's right. Originally, wow, that must be one of the big reasons that the demons tend to follow the strong ones. If it had been a religion that believed in the master who defeated the former demon king Uroboros, it wouldn't have felt so abhorrent ~"

Anato explains to me that I don't know. [M]

I see, I can understand that there.

I hear, for example, that on another continent there may be warriors who believe in the gods of war and seek refuge on the battlefield.

Though I can't afford protection, it's not so surprising that the demons who value power believe in the Demon King, the symbol of power.

And yet, that's not the only reason to create so many fanatics.

Scared of believers trying to give their lives without hesitation...... it wouldn't be weird.

"Mm-hmm... so much faith in the master. Ha, isn't that what the master has done?"

... what you've done?

Honestly, I feel like I was just deciding what I did.

"No, that's not true. For example, you worked hard to rebuild after defeating the former demon king, and you went to various people and personally. That's all. Oh, thank God for the common people, huh?

Huh... Well, I'm a demon king even though I don't want to, so I take it for granted that I think about the people...

"How much do you think a king who can take for granted is on this continent now? Recently, they say that the Queen of the Kingdom of Evan is a national thought, and the king before that was terrible."

Ugghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"It was the last stop. Ha, it must be about previous demonism. In the village on the border, where the king's eyes are hard to reach, the demon king himself went out to solve the problem, and even returned to the king's capital to converge the confusion. It's weirder that you're not admired for this, huh?

Too giggly......!

I don't hate to be admired, but rather happy.

However, what I don't like is that my popularity grows in this mastery.

If more believers can be considered fanatical earlier, something will definitely go wrong.

First, it is easy to predict clashes with Anglicanism, the continent's premier cult group.

Both, if we take the position of not acknowledging paganism, there is always a future ahead to bump into.

It is I who is naturally also a religious name who is at the top of the list.

That's what I hate!

"Oh, it's okay. Vasuil demon kingdom is a master religion, so I'm sorry, but I'm going to ask everyone to be a believer. Don't worry, we won't (yet) wage a religious war on a country that believes in other religions ~"

Nico and smiling anato.

Hmmm...... if she says that much, shall we believe it?

In fact, I don't seem willing to try to leave this country at the moment...

I just want you to absolutely stop oppressing people who believe in other religions, even within this country.

Other religions...... almost certainly angelic, but when you oppress them, almost certainly because Pope Zelnike, the main mountain of Anglicanism, comes out.

"Oh... that disgusting country, isn't it?

Anato opens his eyes softly.

The suspicious light was on and I was afraid, but I nodded at her.

Pope Zelnike, the main mountain of Anglicanism sweeping this continent.

They are also very enthusiastic about preaching.

Until now, they have not reached out to the Vasuil Demon Kingdom, the land of the demons who were hostile to humanity in the first place, but sooner or later they will turn their attention to this, even if they are not oppressed, because I am taking the line of reconciliation as a new demon king.

I'm still assuming there are plenty of pure believer candidates out there who aren't even demonic... You can't keep your eyes open.

... Well, in fact, half of them are already poisoned by the cult of master teaching by Anato.

Because I'm at the top of this country, and I just found out, there's no way I can tell Angelicism isn't putting any force here.

"Yeah, of course we have to do it from us."

Anato snorts at me.

This kid also grew up to be a solid, straight kid, although he used to have a lot of angelic connections.

Though I was a little surprised by the rapid expansion of this cult, the roots will be fine because he's a good kid.

I was relieved to think so.

"But that's a pretty good idea religion for Anato's sake. Master, can you spread the word on my territory, Vampire Land?

Oh, thank you.

Stop that!
