XI.

Two hours before the man who said he was God met Gray in Gray’s dimension.

The sound of the handsome man who told Gray that he was God, taking steps, echoes loudly throughout the corridor.

If she was as strong as a man, she could not leave a sound or even a trace of her footsteps. Nevertheless, the reason the man’s steps made a sound was because he wanted to.

“What are you dissatisfied with?”

End of the corridor.

As soon as the man opened the door, another man’s voice came from inside. The man who opened the door, exuding excitement, flinched at the somewhat cold and nervous voice.

“This is too much!”

“Why?”

“What do I answer when someone who knows everything asks why?”

“… … Tsk.”

The man who was sitting high up on the three stairs at the end of the large room and looking at the document turns his gaze towards the man who is clicking his tongue and grunting. The man who caught that gaze flinches and narrows his shoulders, just as he did when he opened the door.

“Why are you like this these days?”

“No, this is really too much! It’s like that when you see that little guy working!! Again, by mistake… … !”

“It’s not a mistake.”

In “?”

“Oh my, you burnt person! You’ve had some free time now, but you’re still so oblivious! Would that be a mistake? It’s about awakening human potential with a little diluted divinity! It’s not even a claw machine!”

“Then, why… … ?”

“Do you remember? The ‘things’ that have been completely erased. It’s a deteriorated version of that, but the reason why all that ‘evil’ has been unleashed on all levels again.”

“Of course. At least I don’t fall asleep during the meeting. This is to naturally develop self-purification ability and immunity in a remote dimension. Inevitably necessary, like a vaccination.”

“Okay. However, the Demon King who will descend on that dimension this time is in a serious condition. I was already worried, but there happened to be someone there who had a part of ‘his’ soul. So I got the timing right. So that causality can’t say anything.”

“Ah… … !”

“But honestly, didn’t you kill the timing?”

“Yes! Somehow, as soon as I arrived there, the necessary amount of divinity poured out and my soul was absorbed without me even having time to do anything. I killed him… … . no! That’s not important now!! If that’s the reason, provide more support to that child… … !”

Is it okay to do “!! You bastard! People and their trash are going to be a mess! How on earth did you become a ‘magic god’ with that head?! Don’t give a shit, just take care of yourself! Anyway, causality is giving up on you halfway. Just take care of it like a brat. And go on vacation!”

“Uhhhh. I understand! I’m screwing you again. uh? But vacation?”

“Okay. vacation! Even though he was very good, he was scolding me for not giving me a vacation? Is that what you told me to listen to?”

“He, hehehe.”

“Don’t laugh. You bastard! Have a nice vacation. With the spirit goddess resting in the spirit world. I told you in advance.”

“Eck!! oh my god!! Are you crazy?!”

“What else! You crazy guy!!”

“What kind of man goes on a golden vacation with his wife!!!”

“… What kind of bullshit is that!! Get out!!!”

The man sitting high up waved his hand as if swatting away a fly, and the body of the man who was just about to make a noise flew out and was thrown out.

thud!

And the door that the man had left wide open closed with a scary sound.

With the feeling that if you open it carelessly, I will kill you.

The handsome man, who was hesitating whether to extend his hand or not, sighed and turned back to the corridor he had been walking through. For a man on vacation, his shoulders looked really weak.

◈ ◈ ◈

If I, a native of Creşti, were to rank the things that surprised me when I came to Evergreen, I would put this in the top three without any hesitation.

After the 6th application, which had been shrouded in mystery, ended so unilaterally, I was just about to think about compensation.

smart-.

Suddenly, at this very late hour, there was a knock on the dormitory door. Of course, before I could stand up, the clown walked over and opened the door.

“Gray. Clown.”

The person standing outside the door was Alfred. As expected of Alfred, he politely came out at the same angle and bowed slightly to the clown and stood outside the door.

At that moment, I strangely thought, ‘Did he hear the clown gnashing his teeth over Alfred?’ I thought about it.

“A guest has arrived.”

“Hmm~. Because you are a guest. Wouldn’t it be polite to send away guests who come at this time and let them come back when the sun rises? Don’t you know that? Who is Alfred who manages this place?”

“Sorry. however… … .”

“Ah, I was just about to have a good time with the master~. I got it wrong because of someone who has no idea where it is~.”

“Sorry.”

“Oh my~. Oh my~. If you apologize, will your working life be over? The president of an academy always says he’s sorry. Oh my~. Does it seem like the name should be changed to ‘Sorry’ at this point?”

As expected, clowns learned things quickly. No, is it because it’s bad that you learn it quickly?

I immediately use the repertoire I used when the man was tearing up Mr. Septi a little while ago. Only after seeing sweat dripping down Alfred’s forehead does the clown move away from the door he was blocking with a relieved expression.

“So who is the customer?”

“You came from the temple. I need to see you urgently… They say it’s related to a trust… … .”

I was amazed by the word temple.

Something that shocked me even before a full day had passed since I arrived at Evergreen.

The first time I was puzzled, and the second time it left me amazed.

It’s the speed of delivery.

A country that always asks, ‘What kind of people are we?’ A country that prides itself on speed, saying, ‘A nation that stays up more nights than sleeps!’

The delivery speed is even faster than that of countries that have the word ‘delivery’ in front of their national name.

When you say, ‘It’ll be there soon,’ the speed of delivery is literally ‘quickly’ as the word implies.

The speed of delivery, where quick is used in a humble sense in ‘prompt delivery’.

This is Evergreen’s ‘Delivery’ class.

Isn’t it amazing!

“Please guide me here.”

“Yes.”

Alfred, who was dabbing the sweat from his forehead with the back of the white gloves he was wearing even in the middle of the night, gestured to those waiting on one side of the hallway, and at the same time, a woman wearing a pure white priest’s uniform entered the room with cautious steps.

“Greetings. Evidence of trust. I am His humble servant who holds the sixth finger in the Evergreen Temple of Caligo.”

A woman who covers not only her face but also her head with a white cotton cloth. The woman, with only her eyes exposed, introduced herself as Sixth Finger.

Sixth finger.

Much is known about the main god’s temple, so I know what it means.

Just like the myth that humans were created in the image of the god, we know that the god also has five fingers. Since no one has seen it in person, it is just being injected at the temple of the main god.

Anyway, there are people who refer to themselves as the sixth finger that the Lord does not have.

Those who do the Lord’s work in an unseen place. Like the sixth finger of a non-existent god.

To put it in a good way, it is the shadow of the god, or to put it in a way that everyone on the continent fears,

“Caligo Heresy Judge.”

Caligo’s Inquisitor or Inquisitor.

“It’s called that, but that’s what I came for… … .”

“I know. I have something for you, right? To me.”

“… Yes.”

The main sect on the continent that worships the main god is the Caligo religion. This sect, named Caligo, an ancient word meaning ‘pure darkness’, has many unique features.

One of those things can be seen as the fact that the priest’s uniform is pure white, while the paladin’s armor is black.

The ‘Heresy Judges’ also belong to the peculiarities of the Caligian religion.

The heresy judge of this sect is not the ordinary(?) heresy judge who simply ‘finds’ and punishes heretics who do not believe in the Lord.

They ‘create’ heresy and punish it.

The criteria for creating a heresy are somewhat clear. Beings that will interfere with the Caligo Church. The status of the target or the power of the individual are of no concern to the Caligo Heresy Judge.

If the central church determines that the target is Kali and will be a major hindrance to the church, they will ‘erase’ the opponent by any means necessary.

There was an incident where a person recited the ‘self-sacrifice’ spell in a crowded place on the street and violently killed himself along with a being who turned him into a heretic.

Isn’t that amazing? I should follow suit.

huh? why? what?

Well, no matter how great the person who came from the temple was, there was no way that little Alfred would guide me at this late hour.

You have to be at the level of a Heresy Judge to be able to set aside the Academy’s rules. If you don’t listen to my harsh words and then immediately memorize the self-sacrifice spell… … .

Now the Caligo Inquisitor is before me.

If it were anyone else, I would have been trembled at the presence of Caligo Heresy Judge and wondered why I had come, but I had received advance notice directly from ‘God’. That someone from the temple will go.

Above all, I am a candidate who has received the grace of the Lord they serve. Caligo, if the Heresy Judge supports it, he will support it, and he will not cause any harm to me.

“Please.”

He confidently stretched out his right hand and held it out to the Inquisitor, a woman who could only see his eyes.

“Here… Yes.”

Contrary to the reputation of the infamous Caligo Inquisitor, she placed down a small box the size of two ring boxes with very careful handling, careful not to touch my palm with her own.

“Thank you for your hard work. You can stop by.”

“Ah… !”

“What else is there?”

“No. doesn’t exist. The testimony of the last oracle was also thought worthy of his special attention.”

“Yes?”

“He is not afraid of me at all and his confident attitude. Indeed, it can be said to be evidence of the ‘last’ oracle.”

“Yes, what.”

“If you need assistance in the future, please contact the temple. Even if it means antagonizing Evergreen Academy. We will do our best to help you.”

He says such scary things so easily and so seriously. And that too in front of Alfred, a party loyal to Evergreen Academy.

Unlike Alfred, who is surprised, the person concerned calmly and politely bows and leaves the room as if he had said what he had to say. Of course, he even shows a desirable behavior by dragging a bewildered Alfred along as he goes.

I came out again and found myself in a large room where only the clown was left.

The two small boxes contained what looked like black beads and transparent glass beads, respectively.

“One of the two must be Yeongdan, right? So does that mean the other one is two levels higher in martial arts?”

“Well~. I don’t know. But I understand one thing~.”

“What?”

“Which one is Yeongdan?”

“Really? Which one?”

When I asked, the clown smiled brightly and picked up a black bead with two thin white fingers. ‘ah! As I was about to ask, ‘Is that it?’, the clown brought the black bead to his mouth.

Are you trying to eat it?

Well, actually, if the clown wants to eat it, it’s not a waste at all.

“Do you need that? Then eat it.”

I must have just been super cool, right? The likability rating has definitely gone up a bit. I thought.

If only the clown hadn’t shaken his head, gently bitten half of the black bead, and held it out in front of my face.

“Huh?!”

A clown laughing provocatively while looking at me in confusion. Only then did I realize that it was like the famous couples game.

My face automatically heats up.

“Well, then, shall we try Yeongdan?”

This thing’s snout is fine at other times, but it only stutters at times like this. It looks like it doesn’t exist.

Even before I touch the half of the black band in the clown’s mouth, I feel a soft and fluffy feeling on my lips that makes me wonder if such softness exists in the world.

‘Key, you can kiss me!!’

However, apart from this moment of emotion, there is no feeling of the spirit that should have just entered the mouth.

‘why?’

For a moment, I felt the question. The moment the clown’s two arms gently rest on my shoulders and her clasped hands wrap around the back of my neck, something round and with her tongue enters my mouth.

‘Huh!! Yes, candy kisses! No, it’s a Youngdan kiss!!’

To conclude, there were many beneficial feelings that day, such as the expansion of the spiritual power core and the broadening of the spiritual power circuit, but the only ‘feeling’ that remained in my memory was the clear and desirable feeling of tongues meeting and intertwining.

It was desirable. really.
