episode_0400

As I was staring at the message blankly, I remembered that people around me were looking at me and quickly closed my eyes.

If you just stare into space, you’re sure to think something strange.

That thing I saw just now must have been a message from the Crow Goddess, right?

…How did the leader of the art cult perverts send me a message?

I know you can send messages.

Even if you are a sloppy and undignified pervert, God is God. I guess I can spread the word to people on the ground like I did in the game.

But sending a direct message is limited to your own apostles. Isn’t it impossible for you to send a message to me, an apostle of another god?

As I was thinking about this and that, I thought back to my memories before I was possessed, wondering if my memory was wrong.

The basis of the game Soul Academy is ultimately a confrontation between good gods and evil gods.

The evil gods are trying to somehow achieve their own resurrection by enlisting their followers, and the good gods are also doing their best to stop him.

When you become a second year student at the academy and start going outside the academy, you can experience this through various quests.

Such as helping the apostles of the good gods who are doing their best to stop the forces of the evil gods, or following in the footsteps of the few true clergy of the main church who sacrificed their lives.

If you do this, you will naturally come to the attention of good and evil gods. In this situation, if you meet a few conditions, you can become an apostle of the good gods.

If you become an apostle, you will be able to receive various quests directly from God, just as you are now receiving various messages from the main god.

Of course, the quests given in the game are not as spontaneous and playful as those given by the main god.

Anyway, if I remember correctly, it is normal for the Crow Goddess to not be able to send me messages.

No, even if it is not set up like this. Since there’s a perverted apostle right next to me, it’s okay to tell the story through him.

But you tried to contact me directly while ignoring the poor person who was looking at me. Does this make any sense?

You gave me a poor job. Have you really become a sloppy person because you treat me like a sloppy person? Are you so shabby that you get ignored by people below you?

– Tiring.

– Tiring.

– Tiring.

While I was thinking that, I heard a series of notification sounds in my ears.

I don’t know if it’s the god of crap or the goddess of crow, but whoever it is, let’s do it in moderation.

Can’t you see the solemn atmosphere around you right now? It’s okay to send a message after you’re done with work. You perverts!

– Tiring.

– Tiring.

– Tiring.

Finally, I couldn’t bear it any longer, so I opened my eyes and blinked at the many messages lined up in front of me.

[ah. why! I’m not trying to do anything bad!]

[You’re going to give me a blessing?!]

[I’ll give you something good!]

[Why are you acting so shamefully!]

[I think it’s a bad thing to have a monopoly on art like this!]

[Stop this tyranny! Stop!]

…What is this?

I was so dumbfounded that I forgot my surroundings and just stood there blankly, when my grandfather sounded concerned.

‘uh. that is.’

As I was wondering how to explain this, I soon realized there was no answer and shook my head.

‘…It’s no big deal.’

Let’s just say that the crow goddess spoke to me. But how can we convince the author that the goddess is protesting in a way that is not right for the main god?

Fortunately, my grandfather did not question me further.

– Tiring.

[Isn’t that a bit too much? Even though it is Lucy Aln.]

[Can’t there be anything else? There are many good things among my blessings.]

[Ugh. all right. I understand. If it’s for Lucy Alln’s sake, our Prete will also understand.]

While I was relieved that I didn’t have to explain anything, the Crow Goddess seemed to have negotiated something with the main god.

no. hey. Poor Joo-jun. Don’t you think it’s a bit wrong to make a deal with a crow without asking my doctor, the person at the center of the deal? At least you can ask my opinion.

If you leave the negotiation to me, I’m confident I’ll take everything the crow has!

– Tiring.

[…yes? You’re kidding, right? Lucy Alln was watching all this? No way.]

[excuse me. Miss Lucy? If you see this message, would you please close and open your left eye?]

I wasn’t sure what was happening, but I did as I was told and silence returned.

I wondered why they threw away all their elegance and elegance, but they didn’t know that I was watching.

– Tiring.

[Apostle of the Lord. sorry. I was rude.]

Even if you pretend to be dignified now. As I furrowed one of my eyebrows, the crow, guessing the situation, sent a lamentable message.

[Is it already too late…]

[Haaa. I can’t help it. So can we talk comfortably now?]

The crow’s immediate resignation after realizing that there was no turning back was a perfect match for the crow I knew.

How can it be so much a part of the game that there are no other parts? The size of the church has grown so much, so why not give it some dignity to match?

…no. Thinking about it again, I think it would be scary if he changed. Even if you are a fool, it is better to be a fool that I know.

[Anyway, I promised to give you a blessing, right? The Lord has said something, but you are the one who will receive the blessing. If there is anything you want, please tell me.]

The Raven Goddess told me about many things she could do for me, but most of them were about my appearance.

Her extremely personal desire was clearly evident in her tone when she said she wanted to become even more beautiful than she is now.

Naturally, I ignored all that. It’s perverts like you who are interested in my appearance, not me.

There are countless other good things out there, so why should I get something so inefficient?

[Are you not interested in body type? If you want, I can make you taller!]

…Is that even possible?! really!?

Is it possible for me to grow taller!?

I’ll finally be able to look down on Frey!

I almost nodded in a sudden rush, but my reason, like rotten water deep in my heart, took hold of my instinct.

Calm. Let’s calm down.

My height will not matter at all in the various trials ahead.

Even if you’re a little taller than you are now, you can’t escape this crisis.

However, the various rewards that can be extracted from the Crow Goddess are matters that directly benefit me.

No need to think.

I have to hand it over.

No, but if you’re tall and your arms are longer, wouldn’t you be able to fight better?

Basically, when it comes to fighting, weight class is everything.

right? yes?

A reasonable choice no matter who looks at it…

Is this it?

I barely managed to keep my wits about me by biting my tongue and realized that I should no longer play with the crow goddess.

I’ve managed to resist the temptation now, but there’s no guarantee that I’ll be able to in the future.

You have to say what you want quickly and negotiate!

After making that decision, I infused magic into the jewel that Caria had given me to block the sound between me and the surroundings, and then opened my mouth.

“Crow Goddess. The more you talk, the uglier it gets. Could you please be quiet for a moment? Unless you want to be despised, I think it would be better.”

Having been treated harshly by a stupid fox and a perverted apostle, I was worried that they would despise me, but fortunately the crow goddess kept her mouth shut to preserve at least her dignity.

“To be honest, I don’t really want to receive anything from the Crow Goddess. When I receive your blessing, the leader of perverts, I feel goosebumps as if bugs are walking on my skin.”

[sleep. for a moment! Would you like to hear my story?! There are many better things besides what I just talked about! Really!]

“You’re still talking nonsense. Do you want to hear that much contempt?”

[no. that is.]

“That’s it. I don’t want to talk any more, so I’ll tell you what I want. Please give me a sense of aesthetics. Of all your useless abilities, that’s the best.”

The moment I spoke about my aesthetic sense, the Crow Goddess fell silent again.

It was expected.

The passive skill called Aesthetic Sense is a skill that can be obtained only after becoming an apostle of the Crow Goddess and rolling for a while.

Even when he gave away his skills, he showed all sorts of condescension, so it wouldn’t be worth giving it to someone who had nothing to do with it, right?

Knowing this, the reason for mentioning aesthetic sense was closer to build-up for the next episode rather than the usefulness of the skill.

The moment you reject this, I plan to find fault and take away your various blessings.

I already have a few things in mind.

There are many useless skills given by the Crow Goddess, but if you combine them well, they can be useful.

[…Ugh. In the end, you have to give it up.]

huh?

[I can’t help it. Since it is an issue agreed upon with the Lord, if that is what you want, I have no choice but to give it to you.]

Yes?

no.

no.

for a moment.

Isn’t this what I really want?

What I want is something else!?

I hurriedly tried to speak out in confusion, but the crow was quicker than me to give a blessing.

[Skill ‘Aesthetic Sense’ is provided.]

[You will be able to know beauty naturally.]

…

refund!

Give me a refund!

Give me something other than this!

I’m telling you to use your useless skills for anything other than making money!

I have so much money right now!

[This is the most valuable thing I can give you, so please use it well.]

no! You don’t have to give the most valuable thing, so take it! Replace it with something else! please! If you let me change it now, I will pray especially for you!

[I will support you on your path from above. cheer up! You can do it!]

There’s no point in trying to act nice at the end!?

No, and what does cheering mean? You’re not saying you’re going to be watching from above, are you?!

Even if you are a perverted crow, you are not so bad as to declare stalking!

[God of beauty and art bless you.]

[Her energy gives you strength.]

crazy. Was it that bad? How dare you say something nice and openly declare that you are a voyeur!

Argh! Really! As if being a badass, a goofy fox, and a perverted apostle weren’t enough, now you’re clinging to the crow goddess!?

Why are there so many perverts in this damn world?

Is it because the owner is a pervert?!

I guess so! shit!

While I was gritting my teeth in frustration, I felt that the atmosphere around me was strange and slowly disarmed the spell.

“Ohhh!”

“The Goddess has blessed us!”

“How can it be so beautiful!”

“Is this person truly the incarnation of the goddess?”

As I stared blankly at the scene where sadness and excitement coexisted, I could not bear this atmosphere and chose to run away.

See if I ever come to the Arts Church again!
