"Oh! I thought it was a big building."This is amazing again inside, isn't it? "

"Even if you rot, it's a religious center, so you can't show authority unless you're luxurious."Ah, worshipism is ugly!I'll sharpen it with the gold leaf knife everywhere and bring it back! "

"Real worshipism is not what you say."

The cathedral where I deposited my horse...... and Freon in the inn.

Referring to the famous cathedral of a previous life, this place is immediately connected to the giant central corridor from the entrance.

The pure white central corridor is wide, tall, and long enough to make people look like ants.

Many of the decorations and designs applied everywhere in the corridor are luxurious and magnificent in both the corners and the hallways, but it seems that it breaks the atmosphere of the corridor, which is based on white. Rather, it seems to further enhance the elegance and cleanliness of the space.

There are side corridors to the left and right of the central corridor, where various statues of gods are seated at equal intervals.

In addition to the familiar Egyptian mythology, headed by the Anubis god, there are plots of Nordic and Greek mixed together, plots of Japanese mythology gods, etc.

There were 13 idols on the left and 26 idols on the right.

This number is the maximum that can be seen when I introduce more additional content in addition to the underworld edition of Iris, and I can see that this world is applying every element of the original game I know.

Each of the gods that emerged in this way has its own field, and it is one of the religious settings in this world that the sect that names itself changes depending on which god it believes in.

"That said, all sects basically have 'let's live together, don't do bad things' as the center of their teachings.Later, the difference is that what you value for symbiosis and what role you want to play in society will change the God you believe in. ”

"I see... So what's the god like over there?"

The Fire God (Hinokagutsuchi).I am in charge of all things related to "fire".I believe in blacksmiths and cooks who deal in fire.Since I'm a god with a rough temper, I can calm myself by believing in it. By turning around and hoping that the fire won't rage, I can handle the fire better, and it's said to have the benefit of improving my skills and preventing injuries and accidents at the fire. "

Ethel, who was asked by Iris, explained somewhat lazily.

Ethel's expression did not make her feel motivated, but even though it was rotten, she was a former Sister. She walked along the central corridor and walked away without looking.

Incidentally, "sect" in the original game is a means to further strengthen the faith skills possessed by the character.

By continuing to pray in the school church, characters who have raised their Faith Skill to a certain level can choose one of the 26 idols present in this cathedral and belong to that god's sect.

It also allows you to use additional bonus abilities and special moves depending on the level of Faith Skill you are developing for each of your chosen Sects.

For example, if you were talking about the "Fire Ghost Earth God," you can always reduce the damage of fire attributes by n % according to the level of your faith skill, and you can get a skill that positively corrects the success rate and performance of fire-related production skills. If you were an Anubis God, you can get additional enhancements according to the chosen god, such as "Attack is increased by n % for monsters of the Immortal and Ghost species, and you can learn a part of the" Soul Strike "skill."

"But honestly, I rarely choose Anubis."

The sacred magic that can be used by upgrading your Faith Skill itself is very compatible with the monsters of the Immortal and Ghost species, so you can exert unparalleled strength on those monsters by raising it to the bottom.

However, since the monsters of the Immortal and Ghost Seeds don't appear much in the story, the chance of sectarian enhancement is inferior compared to other monsters, so I rarely choose them.

Well, in the past, I have failed to raise the level of my faith skills and wasted noble time, so in this lifetime, this is all irrelevant.

"Ah! Sakurai-san, Anubis-sama!" There's a statue of Anubis! "

Iris, I'm glad you're so healthy.

Does this statue have a conversation function?

“What the hell, Thor. There's no way there's such a thing."

No, you're talking, aren't you?

"Huh? I can't hear anything."In general, if the statue of a god who is a subject of faith speaks freely, it will be important. "

O Sakurai, only those who can hear me can go to the underworld.

"Ah, is that so... hh?You mean the voice of God, which can only be heard by a limited number of humans?In other words, it's a divine consignment? "

That's what happens. I can't talk much longer.

Lady Anubis! I'll take home a souvenir this time!

I'm looking forward to it, but don't push yourself.It is my pleasure that Iris is safe. "

Ah, please also say hello to Toto's brother

Umu

Hey, who are you two talking to?What do you mean? You don't really hear God's voice, do you? A little??? "

Ignoring Ethel's panic, Iris exchanged words with Anubis-sama.

To do such a big thing as a divine trust and check on her condition... it's true that she's loved.

In any case, the purpose of coming to the cathedral is not to speak to God.

Even if you can continue the conversation for a long time, you will end the conversation at an appropriate place, and you will take Iris's hand, which seems to be in remembrance, and move on.

"That's right, no one has noticed, right?"It's okay, no one was in the vicinity, so they shouldn't have asked.When I found out that I could hear the divine trust, the trouble overlapped... yeah, let's forget about it.I haven't heard anything, I don't know, and I can't possibly hear a gift! "

Incidentally, Ethel's appearance was somewhat strange until she was escorted to a separate room by a person related to the cathedral.

As with the original work, is there any place where the current saintly woman's mother lives?

"(It was called as a condition for providing information, so I want you to be firm... well, I'll follow up with you there.)"

If this is the other party who has not much interaction, I will not be aware of it, and if I get what I can by selling it to the other party as a price for information, I will think about returning quickly, but I will not actively use it as a negotiation card in front of the person entrusted with her in the heavens.

"(Oh my, I just go to get the information, but I hate a lot of hassle.If it was someone who could make out threats, it would've been quicker.)

After all, the opponent, the Saintess, cannot take on the role of a person who succumbs to the degree of threat.If so, we will have to negotiate honestly.

Well... as soon as that negotiation got involved in Ethel's individual episode, it always started to get a little tedious.

(Well, we'll manage! Maybe!) "

With that in mind, until the person in charge on the cathedral side showed up, I was stopped... so I started to use the yarn from my pocket to start knitting.
