Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

"The Holy Water Fair?

People came together while we twisted our necks in strange words, and they were crowded all at once where we heard voices.

"What, what?

"That's the Sacred Virgin Church of Satomi. Honestly, it's annoying..."

It was my uncle who was opening a stall nearby who responded to our confusion.

"The Sacred Virgin Church of Satomi...... that's..."

"It does get in the way when all those people get together, doesn't it? Can't you control it?

"No, no, no. According to the story, there's a guy up there who's a believer too. It's not a clear violation, so the guards don't want to be involved."

Sure, what you're doing is the same as a stall.

It's just a massive crowd of people.

"For once, I change places every time, so it's a little better..."

While we were listening to our uncle, the "Holy Water Distribution" looked very exciting, and we could hear the seller.

"One ballot ticket for a bottle of holy water and one handshake ticket for a set of 10!

"... it's a way of selling reminiscent of our idols."

"Holy water is still a consumable compared to that one... you don't need 100 bottles on your own"

Suspicious substitutes even if it works in the first place. There will be no use for it either.

"I mean, can the sold holy water be dumped somewhere?

"Oh, lady, you got a good understanding? After I bought it, I'm having trouble with a lot of guys throwing it away in the right place. It's annoying. People don't get together, they don't shop around, and the only thing they make money from is the workshops that make bottles with them."

That's what I said, big sigh uncle.

If I put money in that one, I wouldn't have the financial room to make other purchases.

Besides, cleaning the discarded stuff is going to end up being called people living in the neighborhood.

That's annoying. Yeah.

"By the way, what's a handshake ticket or a ballot ticket?

"Oh, that's..."

According to my uncle's description, the Church of the Sacred Virgin of Satomi culminates in the Virgin named Satomi, a religious group around which the visible girls called the 'Virgin' are consolidated.

And the handshake or ballot ticket, as its name suggests, is the ticket that allows you to shake hands with the Virgin or vote to determine the sequence of the 'Virgin'?

- This is also the kind of system I've heard somewhere.

"Uh, so the Virgin named Satomi also decides by vote?

"No, that seems to be 'hallowed in'. If that changes, it's not already the Church of the Virgin of Satomi, is it?

"Indeed."

"Especially for those guys, I don't even have to vote for the Virgin Satomi, I guess."

"Is it that popular?

"Ah. Unusually. The people I spoke to in person are sure to be believers."

All of us face that word.

He said he was using absolutely suspicious skills.

Moreover, from what I have heard so far, it is almost certainly the work of my classmates. Almost certain Takamatsu is involved. Maybe other classmates are involved.

"By the way, with a handshake ticket, can you shake hands with Saint Satomi, too?

"You treated him differently. It's the Virgins around you who can shake hands with one regular handshake ticket. In the case of the Virgin Sutmie, you did have to collect 100 pieces, did you talk about it?

I don't know if I can help it out of time constraints if it's really popular, but it's pretty poor quality.

"But, uncle, you know more about this?

"If they call it a" distribution "many times nearby, the information will come in on its own. I'm not happy or anything."

Sigh like tired uncle.

"If you want to pull a whale, here it is! You can pull 11 times with 10 handshake vouchers!

"You're a mess!?"

Toya raises her voice to the voice of the seller she hears.

But I know how you feel. Have you even taken it that way?

Of which, 'When it arrives, it's free to whale 10 times! Aren't you going to start promoting' em?

"... what is that whale?

"Well? I haven't done this before..."

"I'm gonna take a look"

Seeing his uncle twisted his neck as he didn't even know, Toya approached the gathering of believers and came back a while later.

"Welcome back"

"I'm home. It was quite a sinister mess"

Toya, smiling bitterly, says, is in a whale because

- One ticket for you to shake the hand of the Virgin Sutmie

-Tickets for the Virgin of Hope to call her name

-Tickets to spend an hour with the Virgin of Hope

- Voting Tickets

- Holy water voucher

Apparently 5 of them.

It is also possible to have the second and third pieces made into the Virgin Satomi by collecting 10 pieces.

But all that came out as far as Toya was looking was one ballot ticket, and they were all Holy Water vouchers later.

"I've been pulled over 100 times, so the incidence is pretty low."

"Are you all right? Too much money into bankruptcy... no, you're scared of the possibility of a slave fall or something"

Normally, I don't think I would buy it until I borrowed it, but if the reason for attracting people so much comes from my skills, I can't even say it's unlikely.

Besides, gambling addiction is a kind of disease, so if you've even gotten into chatter, isn't it dangerous?

"And then I also got holy water. Because he said he didn't need it."

What Toya gave me was five holy waters, even five small vials to the point of riding on one hand, and if I spoke to someone around me for a moment, they could easily divide them.

"What I need is a voucher with it."

"Effective, do you think?

"It looks... it's just water"

Toya vacates one, puts it out in her palm and smells it, but she didn't smell anything, twisting her neck.

I'll touch that, too, but the touch and smell are just water.

I just don't feel like licking it, but when they say if this works for the undead......

"Hmm? Ladies, do you need holy water? You sound adventurous, and you're undead? Honestly, I wouldn't recommend using that, would I? You can't make a temple in this city with all that bulky holy water."

"That's right."

"In the first place, the Church of the Sacred Virgin Church didn't say that the holy water had an effect on the undead."

We couldn't keep up with the words we were told with a bitter smile, and for a moment, we were stunned.

"Huh? Oh, no, sure. So what is this holy water...?

Because it's holy water, we thought it would work on the undead, and we do sell it there - no, the holy water we distribute is not branded as anti-undead.

"In their words, it sounds like the water the Virgin Satomi gave her sacrament, but she hasn't advertised any effects."

"Wow... awesome grey"

Toya threw that away with an unpleasant look in her uncle's words, which she said with a bitter smile.

After meeting Master Advastris, I examined that there are five pillars of the temple of God in this world, called the five great gods, and Master Advastris is one of them.

Holy water that can be divided in those temples certainly works for the undead.

This is why I would expect a similar effect on the same 'holy water', but it seems that the Church of the Sacred Virgin of Satomi itself has made nothing particularly clear.

"But aren't Japanese supplements more gray? For example, I'm selling to Wari who says," For those with high blood pressure, "or" Support Honiarara, "without making it clear that it works."

"Ah! That's it! And then there's this little terrop called 'It's Your Personal Feedback'. I was wondering if I could say anything personal."

"They sell things that have no scientific basis."

"I do!" What do you mean, "water"? Advertise that the holy water here is not particularly effective, but it works unfounded. "

"Other substances that work if you inject them, so it must work if you eat them, or there's a logical leap that doesn't make sense"

"Suspicious college professors and papers are also classic. That's all, because it seems like a lot of people feel reliable for some reason."

"Yes, yes. Anyone can just write a paper, and some magazines will publish it if they pay for it, so it's a different matter of whether it's right or not."

Us thriving on a certain story, inspired by what Toya said.

Just for the record, I took my uncle out of a mosquito net.

"I didn't really get it, but these scam-like stories are everywhere. By the way, do you have a plan?

That's what my uncle asked me, us looking at each other.

"That's got to work up there. There's little point in explaining it to someone who's been fooled."

"Whatever others say, they won't listen. Maybe a little different if my family persuaded me..."

"Is it a problem, the Sacred Virgin Church of Satomi?

"In part. But it's hard because there are so many believers."

Many people are annoyed like this uncle, but because there are more believers than that, they seem to be unable to take countermeasures.

Moreover, the number of believers seems to be expanding, and twitching is also affecting sales everywhere.

"I'm not making more money."

"If you buy holy water, is it natural that other consumption will be reduced for that matter"

"Perhaps the most affected is the liquor store. We're regular food, not that far."

You don't have to drink to live, but you can't not not eat.

However, in the long run, it is certain that there will be an impact on the economy of the whole town.

Depending on how the Sacred Virgin Church spends the money it collects, there will be a part of it...... in a way it will be inevitable that the economic structure will change.

"Uh-huh, I hope it converges before it affects Raffan..."

"Are the ladies based in Lafan? Because the Virgin Church is building up its strength well hey...... but if it's going to spread, I think it's likely pinning, not Raffan. Because it has a large population."

Pinning is the territorial capital, so there are more people in the city than in Kerg.

Of course, it's not comparable to Lafan's, so market size (?) If you think about it, it's a pinning choice.

"Is that... should I say fortunate"

"As far as we're concerned, I need you to do something about it before it happens."

That's what I said, sighing like tired again, uncle.

We agree with that. I just want it to converge soon or at worst be complete inside Kerg.

- Not really, I can't expect it.

We bought some products from such an uncle's stall to thank him for letting us talk, and we left the place.
