"... I don't know if I can ask, but why would Porch give Mel protection? There seems to me to be some serious reason for trying to give Elsa and Lillian the protection of the Sacred Qi ahead of time... That's what protection is all about."

It's rare to be given protection on a whim, like me or Lorraine, but in the first place it's said why a god or a god spirit gives protection to a person because that person plays an important role for the gods and the world.

In fact, holy minds, such as those that remain in myths and stories, accomplish some great work, and are named for history, some depictions of their role being explained directly by the God who gave them protection.

Well, it's only an old story, so it's a subtle place to be told how true it is, but it still won't be true enough to stay that way.

With that in mind, the speculation is made that Mel also has some role to play.

Because, like me and Lorraine, it doesn't seem like they got protection for some good deed.

In the first place, Porch is a divine beast, so if it is, I'm sorry to say, but it's not hard to imagine that even if you're not in such a lonely orphanage, you'll be treated like you wouldn't even put it down there if you went to some appropriate church or something.

Nevertheless, staying by Mel all the time is......

There's something, it wouldn't be so strange to think.

Elsa was a little worried about this,

"I don't even know the details. Ask Mr. Porch and he won't answer. I'm sure there are some rules in the world of gods, divine spirits, and divine beasts as well. Because it is said that the gods cannot interfere in the world of men in extreme ways. That's why he's trying to give people shelter, give prophecies, interest religion and influence... The last one feels like there's a human ego in it, too."

First, that's what I said.

It's a much sarcastic statement, and I think it would be nice to be an Eastern Catholic monk justice, but given the purpose for which she originally entered Eastern Catholicism, I don't think it means that she is intoxicated by religion from there in her mind, or possibly. I don't think that means I don't believe in it at all.

Elsa continues.

"It's just something to do with Mel. So I'm in quite a position, too, and I've taken advantage of what I can take advantage of and have done a lot of research and thinking. So what I found out is that this world is going to be in turbulent times."

"That's... what the hell?

Lorraine embarks on a story she won't listen to.

"Like Mel, there appear to be many people who are believed to have been given special protection. Of course, its existence is mostly kept secret by each religion, or by the state or organization… something that still sounds leaky to those with some ear. It is true that being with shelter is very important to our religious communities, and that it is few, but that number has still remained roughly the same until now, on average. But… in recent years, that number has increased slightly. It's an incremental rate that can't be ignored, and in addition to that, as we talked about earlier, there are multiple powerful users who draw a line from the normal sense of holiness."

Is there more holy care?

Me and Lorraine will be in with that increase.

The hurdle that gives the gods protection is down?

Why, you mean because something happens?

Something enough to think that the gods will have to deal with it until then.

That's a scary story.

"... a powerful user, but to what extent are you referring to the bearer of power?

Elsa answers when Lorraine asks.

"Right. I, for example, can generally use a technique that covers a single city if I feel like it. Usually, let us say that is the power that is at the top of the list as a sense of holiness. But those who are emerging now… are the most powerful, and if you say so in Yarlan, they sometimes seem to have enough power to cover one medium-sized territory. Differences in size, you know?

In one city and one territory the size is completely different.

It's shocking in the first place to have the power to cover even one city... but did Lillian have the same power in the past?

Speaking of what I am for comparison... well, at best, maybe one house. Good luck with that. I hope you don't say it's no big deal to say you're stronger. There are too many monsters in this world.

Lorraine has less magic than I do when it comes to sanctity.

One room, maybe the limit.

They're just growing a little bit, so I'm not sure if they'll pull it out any time soon... but I guess that's when.

"That's... that's no longer a weapon. If it's the sanctity of the healing system, it's going to be enough reason to attack other countries."

"Right...... keep extending healing the wounds of tens of thousands of soldiers, keep attacking without a single dead person, oh my god, it could be possible. There are various elements such as how much power will continue, how wide the range will only diminish the effect...... definitely amazing. If there is such a person, in every country, organization, you will want it."

That's a really scary story.

If I hang in there too, will any of us get that much power?

... Sounds impossible.

Sacred chi is unfortunately not a force that can be stretched in an attempt to stretch it.

Mind or magic can be done with this body now...

Well, the only way to be strong is to work hard from what you can do.

"Mel too...... that much power?

"Probably. It doesn't even seem as strong as it is shortly after being granted protection, but gradually its power seems to grow stronger. Even so, no effort, that's why I'm not just going. Mel has to train from now on. To control that power and treat it correctly. If she doesn't, she's in danger herself."
