“It must have been quite a shock.”

Pout your lips and look at the floor.

I wiggled my hands and repeated the man’s words to myself.

‘The shock must have been quite big.’

…considerate.

I can’t say he spoke well, but he couldn’t tell that the man was worried about him.

‘Do you really want to make me your wife?’

I wouldn’t be the type of person to suggest something like that to just anyone.

Besides, isn’t this the kind of person who would sell a ‘holy object’ to get something for himself?

‘I’m not someone worthy enough to exchange for a sacred object…’

Maybe the person who values you the most in the world right now is your uncle.

No, you are the only one.

“I wanted to ask you, sister. Why are you doing such a thing and proselytizing? But when I put you in front of me, I couldn’t keep my mouth shut. I also realized that all the people who were interested in missionary work were targeting me. In the past, “I saw things I didn’t know about.”

“You must have thought a lot.”

“When other people criticized the denomination, I sincerely said that it was not that kind of place. But I don’t think I can do that anymore. That’s so sad.”

Why do you do something like that to make people criticize the church?

People already hate it and feel uncomfortable because it is a pseudo-sect.

I think we need to show this to people who look at us with such suspicion.

We are absolutely not a cult.

Our denomination is a place with good people who strive for the happiness of people.

“But I don’t know why you did something like that and ruined the church’s image. I thought you were a good person…! The sisters don’t know how much of an impact such selfish actions have on the church. After all, I should tell you, right?”

I hated being criticized.

However, for the good future of the denomination, it was necessary to correct what was wrong.

“I don’t think it will change just because you say it.”

The uncle showed a negative opinion, perhaps because he was worried about her suffering.

But she said with her hands clenched into fists.

“I have to be good at persuading them! From what I see, if you do a good job of missionary work, they give you a reward. I think that’s why things got so messed up. I’m going to make it right.”

I felt like I would gain strength if my uncle cheered me on.

“If I can persuade the sisters not to do something like that again, people will also clear up the misunderstanding.”

Inevitably, missionary activities will have to be halted for the time being.

It’s unfortunate, but right now it’s more important to fix the mess inside.

Since overheated missionary competition led to this disaster, there seems to be a need to convey the situation to the higher-ups in the church.

I hope not, but I thought that if something like this happened here, it wouldn’t be any different anywhere else.

“Will I be able to persuade the sisters well?”

“I don’t know.”

The man still had an indifferent attitude.

Whenever he got angry, his attitude was that it had nothing to do with me anymore.

I felt a little disappointed, but I decided to take comfort in the fact that they didn’t tell me not to do it.

“I will change the denomination properly.”

If that happens, the way other sisters look at themselves will change.

It was sad and difficult at times to know that I was being ostracized by my sisters for unknown reasons.

But I couldn’t muster up the courage to ask why he was doing that.

‘It’s wrong to neglect this problem without courage. I have to be courageous for the sake of the church.’

Fran had no doubts, believing that his actions were for the good of the church.

Unfortunately, it didn’t take long for that trust to be broken.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

Franc was well aware that the content was not appropriate for persuasion in a crowded place.

So Fran secretly called the sister into a counseling room and talked about it.

“What’s going on? You have something to tell me?”

“Sister, are you using any methods of missionary work?”

The sister’s face looks perplexed, as if Fran’s words have stung her.

“…Why do you ask that?”

“I understand that your sister’s missionary activity score is very high. Of course, if she had excellent abilities and was doing well in her missionary activity, I would have been happy to accept it. However, I think there is another reason why her activity score was so high.”

“What are you talking about? There’s a special reason. It’s unpleasant, but are you doubting me now?”

If you are doing missionary work while selling your body, it is not right, the church will not like it if they find out, such missionary work will give a bad image to others, etc.

Fran gave a persuasive message that he had thought about carefully.

I hope that after hearing this, the sister will come to her senses.

“Are you making fun of me and calling me a whore who sells my body?! Why are you so damn clean!!”

bang!

Unfortunately, her wish did not come true.

After hearing her persuasion, the sister became angry and showed hostility towards Fran.

Most people feel shame when they are pointed out that they are behaving incorrectly.

So, I understood why Sister Frando got angry and blushed after hearing her advice.

Because it was hard to hear bitter words.

“Sister, I understand that you are suddenly angry at hearing these words. But I want you to know that I am saying this for you. Your body is precious.”

“My body is precious? What do you really know?”

“I was so indifferent all this time. I’m sorry. But now that I know, I want to fix what was wrong.”

Fran had no intention of giving up on her sister just because of this level of hostility.

Even if you don’t like it and push it away, I will continue to show interest and make an effort to persuade you.

I don’t think this problem can be easily solved with a few words.

“Didn’t you go around saying you could do anything for the church?”

“yes that’s right.”

“Then why is it wrong to use one’s body to evangelize for the church? I’m just using my body for the church.”

“This is not for the church.”

“The number of church members is increasing. The people I brought in also make donations for the church? Those donations provide food and clothes for the sisters, so why not do that? If we stop evangelizing with our bodies, who will feed us? Are you going to buy me clothes?”

The sister pressured Franc with hostile eyes, telling her to refute this too.

And unfortunately, the sister’s words made Fran keep his mouth shut.

If we stop doing physical missionary work, who will donate money to the denomination?

For Fran, who had never made enough money, it was a realistic problem that had nothing to refute.

“Look. You have no choice either. Do you want the church to be ruined because of your mediocre morals?”

“If we propagate correctly, donations will come in properly. There is no point in continuing the denomination like this.”

It was a stronger rebuttal than expected.

Franc could not hide his embarrassment, but tried to persuade him with a straight argument.

“Hmph! If the other sisters don’t do it, I won’t do it either. But if the other sisters keep doing it? I’ll keep doing it too. So don’t try to convince me, just persuade the other sisters. Understand?”

“…yes.”

First of all, I decided to take comfort in the fact that I had received a promise that I would not do anything if the other sisters did not do it.

I was confident that if I persuaded each person one by one, I would be able to achieve good results.

“What on earth are you doing these days?”

“Sister Miyu?”

Fran, who was contemplating who to call into the counseling room and persuade her again today, widened her eyes at Sister Miyu’s words.

“What are you doing?”

“Uh…did you hear what I’m doing?”

“I’m in trouble these days because of you.”

Fran thought that Sister Miyu might be able to understand.

Wasn’t he a person who was kind and kind to everyone, and even showed affection and kindness to himself?

“I’m sorry for bothering you.”

“How did you find out? Sisters, how to spread the word. No one would have taught you.”

“Sister Miyu also knew!”

“Of course I know. How could I not know?”

“Surely Sister Miyu is doing this too?!”

I was shocked because I thought Sister Miyu couldn’t do that.

“Do you think I’m any different from other people?”

“If it’s Sister Miyu, wouldn’t it be okay to preach instead of doing that?”

“Ha… It’s a bit awkward to talk here, so please follow me.”

Sister Miyu looked around and, to see if it would work, took her to the counseling room.

Sister Miyu sighs deeply after closing the door to the counseling room.

“I wasn’t going to tell you. I thought you would come out like this. But it turned out just as I expected. How on earth did you find out? Who told you?”

“It’s not like that.”

Fran did not hide what happened to Sister Miyu and told her.

“I made a mistake and was rude to a nobleman. He tried to take me with him, so I told him I was an academy student and barely escaped. But after that, people around me looked at me differently. And people who didn’t before were like me. You started harassing me.”

“Those people misunderstood. They thought they were harmed by a nobleman.”

Sister Miyu placed her forehead with her palm.

“I’m thinking maybe that’s what it is.”

“You bastards. I guess they were just looking for an opportunity. They probably wanted someone to stop them because it was scary to touch you for the first time as an Academy student.”

The first time may be difficult, but the second time is easy.

Those who had been waiting for Fran to return from losing her virginity began to openly target her body.

“And they told me. The sisters…”

This means that they are proselytizing in a bad way.

“So you’re going around telling your sisters not to do it? Because it’s not right?”

“Yes. It is not right to spread religion in that way. And if we spread religion that way, other people will have no choice but to look at our denomination in a negative light.”

In order to confidently say to those who point fingers at the denomination that it is a bad place and say that it is not that kind of place, the sisters must first change.

This was the conclusion reached by Fran, who was truly concerned and thinking about the church.

And I thought Sister Miyu would agree with her thoughts.

“don’t do it.”

“yes?”

But that thin trust was broken so easily.
