Could it be because I have subdued the gods who took on the role of representative one after another?

The gods below conveyed their intention to cooperate through Ganshu and Erginus, even though I had not said anything specifically.

As they say, whether human or god, it is faster to show by example than by words.

They only become more energetic when they find themselves in a situation where they feel like they’re going to get screwed.

After listening to the reports coming in one after another and feeling satisfied, I encountered a huge problem after some time.

“It seems like Youngae Alun should stand in front of the other apostles.”

Erginus, who had gathered together those related to the gods, including me, Ganshu, the pervert apostle, and Faby, confidently spouted out crazy things.

“Are you addicted to the smell of chicken coops? What kind of crazy nonsense are you talking about?”

“I also don’t want to show you around at public events. I don’t want to make you speak in front of a large crowd! I know what you’ll say in front of everyone, so why call me crazy!”

“Ugh. What a rotten way of thinking. Do you think you’ve achieved anything by embracing a rotten woman for hundreds of years?”

“Listen carefully! Lucy Arlen! I have been called a pity-monger by you, and my one and only lover has been accused of smelling like chicken coop! And how can you say that I do not know the disaster your tongue will bring!?”

I bit my lip at Erginus’ cry, which was filled with resentment.

But if you know so well, why do you insist on putting me first?

If we’re not careful, the Pope might not be the problem. He might even cause a war between religions because of his Messaggi skills!

“It’s truly miserable to have to say this, but this is the reality. Lucy Allen. You have no choice but to step forward.”

“Listen to my story first, employer. I’ll fucking convince you.”

I took a step back at Caria’s words and wiggled my eyebrows as if to suggest that she speak up.

Erginus thanked Caria and placed a map of the continent in the middle of the table.

“Thanks to the efforts of Alun Youngae a while ago, most of the gods have promised to cooperate. I don’t know what their true intentions are, but at least they are outwardly cooperative. However, the problem here is that the god’s opinion cannot be the opinion of the earth.”

Unlike in the past when gods stayed beside humans, today’s gods do not have any influence over ordinary believers.

It is possible to convey one’s will through some people, including the apostles, but one cannot force one’s opinions on the believers.

“The cause of uniting in the face of a world crisis is good! But a good cause doesn’t solve everything!”

Until the end of the mythical age, those who converted to religion tended to lack a sense of reality.

When the gods are always by your side to solve your problems, why worry about reality?

However, as the age of mythology came to an end, things changed.

There was a lack of money. There was no land. There was no place to pray. The number of believers was dwindling.

All the things that were taken for granted when the gods dwelt on earth have become no longer taken for granted.

Maintaining faith in this environment was not something that could be done through piety alone, so one by one, religions began to take on commercial aspects in order to survive.

“The efforts they made to survive were not bad. The problem is that as religion became commercialized, they began to view other religions as competitors.”

The word ‘coexistence’ could not exist in the land where chaos had taken hold due to the shock of the disappearance of the gods.

For one religion to survive, it had to suppress other religions.

“The numerous religions that currently exist on Earth do not like each other. Especially those who reside in similar areas have a serious level of conflict. They shout that each other is a heretic and try to eliminate each other in any way possible.”

Religious conflicts that have persisted for hundreds of years cannot be resolved with a single word from God.

No matter how desperately the apostle of God advocates peace, it is impossible for the conflict to be resolved overnight.

This world is dangerous?

The evil spirit has been resurrected and is trying to destroy the continent?

The peace that has lasted for hundreds of years will be shattered overnight?

Who would believe such a thing?

The place they live in was peaceful yesterday, today, and tomorrow, so why should they believe that their daily life will be turned upside down overnight?

“Humans are more intelligent than many people think, and also more stupid than many people think. They will never believe in a world crisis unless something absurd happens right before their eyes. For example, unless an apostle of the Lord suddenly appears.”

My very existence is proof that this world is in crisis.

So I have to stand at the front and convince everyone.

It is inevitable that the word persuasion is far from the human being Lucy Allen.

After hearing Erginus’s explanation, I sighed and squeezed my face.

Oh. Are all the authors of God nothing but sloppy writers!?

Why can’t you convince even one of your followers!

You little bastards, you’re still gods!? Aren’t you ashamed of being praised for doing things like that?!

‘That’s because the person who gave it to you is a pervert!’

Come to think of it, I’ve never seen a god’s representative not being persecuted, whether it be this myth or that myth!

Why do you put a test on someone who does your will?

If you hire people, you have to create an environment where they can do their job properly. Why are you putting a burden on their back first?

“…Can’t a sloppy woman take her place? She also has a little bit of sloppy divinity.”

“Young-ae, I also want to reduce your suffering, but the symbolism of the face of the Jushin Church is too strong for me these days. If the representative of the Jushin Church, who is hated by other religions, stands in the middle, it will only cause resentment.”

Is it really only me? I touched my forehead, worried about what would happen next, and the pervert apostle smiled.

“Don’t worry, Youngae. We’ll help you.”

I had no confidence at all.

“Ganshu will also actively cooperate.”

“Personally, I’d like to see this guy in trouble.”

“I know you’ll do well even if you say it like this.”

I really didn’t believe it at all.

*

Even as he swung his mace to dispel his worries about what was to come, Erginus’s plan progressed moment by moment.

At the command of the various gods, apostles of powerful religions from various places came to the kingdom.

They say it’s because of its symbolic nature as the first place to be attacked by the evil god Agra, but in reality, it’s because it’s easy to manage.

Normally, the apostles would not prefer to leave their territory, but this time it was an exception.

It was because the saint of the Jushin Church collaborated with the apostles of the Arts Sect and the Magic Church to exert pressure, and also because their god gave orders.

However, there are those who do not cooperate, but since Erginus said he will take care of it, you don’t have to worry about them.

And I don’t have the capacity to care in the first place.

The problem is what’s right in front of me.

“You are beautiful as always, Youngae.”

After chasing away the giggling pervert, he entrusts his body to Erin.

He was wearing the armor and cloak he normally wears, but the fact that someone else’s hands had touched him made him feel different.

“I hope you get good results, Miss.”

As I left Erin’s greeting behind and went outside, the pervert apostle and Faby escorted me.

On one side, a saint praised across the continent. On the other side, an artist sought after by countless nobles.

It was a sight anyone would envy, but only one thought came to my mind.

I want to run away right now!

My stomach feels like it’s going to burst!

I haven’t felt this way since the Academy took a break, so it’s nice to have to walk through hell again!

“Alright, Youngae. I’ll open the door.”

“…Wait a minute.”

I take a deep breath as I block the pervert who is trying to put his hand on the door.

It’s okay. There’s no problem. Just go in there and prove that I’m an apostle of the Lord.

The rest can be left to the pervert who made this brat his apostle! I made plans with Grandpa yesterday!

“Okay, Youngae. Let’s go.”

I smiled awkwardly when I saw Faby’s bright smile.

Ah. Why can’t we just beat up all the kids inside and then force them to admit it?!

It would probably be easier to suppress all the apostles than to persuade them with words!

– Woohoo. How can someone as cute as Alun Youngae be?

I frowned at the sound coming from above my head, and then a tiny fairy queen appeared in front of me.

– It would be nice if you could show us this kind of appearance more often.

“I don’t want to see you often. I think I’ll catch the smell of chicken coop.”

– You’re really going too far! You changed Erginus-sama’s title, but why is mine still the same?

Well, I guess you’ll have to ask the person who gave you that.

Maybe asking him won’t give you an answer. The Messagaki skill even chews up the skills that the Lord gave you.

– Don’t be so awkward! I’m here to help you! But I’m still amazing, right? You can even endure some unpleasant things when I’m around!

Boom!

“Chat, chat, chat. Aren’t you coming in, kid? I came here to waste my time because of you.”

The one who came out of the door was a man with short red hair.

There are a few scars on his face, which are impressive, but I don’t remember them.

I guess it’s a mob that doesn’t even appear in the game.

In Messagaki’s terms, is it Jacory?

“Does this look like patience to you? Is this all a loner can endure?”

– Oh my. Can I tell you about his passionate night?

“Hey. Can’t you see the person?”

I think as I look at the man frowning.

Thanks to this mob, we’re already starting off on a good note.

So I guess it’s okay if I do things my way a little bit.

It’s not my fault! It was this kid’s fault for starting the fight first!

right?

“I don’t know what kind of nonsense this is.”

The fairies were scattered around. The view changed.

“Say it quickly…”

The opponent is ignoring me. Also, he doesn’t even think that he will be attacked.

After checking it, I reach out.

The man, whose muscular body seemed to be more than just decoration, tried to react to my movements, but my new field of vision was confirming even that.

The orbit of the hand twists and grabs the man’s face.

He’s an apostle after all. Even if you treat him a little roughly, he won’t die.

I pushed his face into the ground with all my might and stomped on the man’s legs as he struggled to get free.

“Ja♡ Do you like it when I do what you want?♡ Do you like it when I flinch?♡ You disgusting pervert♡”

I finished off by kicking his chin and raised the corners of my mouth as I looked at the apostles’ wary gaze.

“Pfft♡ What the. You idiots♡ Are you scared?♡”

This one suits me better.
