Aren’t you neglecting me too much?

Are you just eating, sleeping, and pooping right now?

I live a very regular life, so Joanna has a lot of freedom in her life. She’s a wild animal meta, so all I have to do is feed her and she takes care of the rest.

Fortunately, it wasn’t boring.

Because there are now three more people to see: Wide, Isla, and Tisha.

As soon as Hieronymus left me, he took the children to an area used for training people. It was a long corridor, with a large space in the middle.

The reason I call it a region is because it’s not just a large open space. The place where the Mirae Hope Bridge is located is divided into quite a few different areas.

Through the memories of six people, I created about 1/3 of the map.

First of all, the space I was summoned to is located in the deepest part of the underground. Rooms and passageways are spread out like an ant hole around that area.

In addition, there are many strangely winding paths, perhaps to make people who don’t know the path well get lost.

And there’s a huge chapel inside, and there’s a living area inside, just in case people want to live there. Joanna’s been to almost every area of the underground.

However, we know little about the areas outside the underground.

Because it’s the only village I used to go out to get groceries from. Before that, it was in a different village.

But what worries me is that this underground is just too big. Even if it were a world with magic, would they build such a huge underground cave in just 10 years?

That’s weird.

If you look closely at the place where the altar is later, you might see something. It wouldn’t be strange if they were occupying and using an existing place. There were places like the catacombs and Petra in the world before.

When you think about it, it’s not strange that there are underground cities like this.

It’s just that time passes too quickly.

However, finding other traces may be difficult, because when someone’s temple is taken over by another person, any traces of the previous god are thoroughly destroyed.

In some cases, like in Egypt, it is so huge that they cut off the nose or light a fire to cover it with soot.

The reason I think this is simple.

There is a possibility that there are places that even Joanna, and even Jerome, don’t know about.

You have to consider many possibilities so that you can make different choices when the time comes. If you don’t think about anything, there are times when you only have one choice at that moment.

If you have a lot of time, you have time to think.

And while I’m thinking about it, I check out how Mirae Hope Church is moving with the children.

They walked a very long way. In other words, they walked far enough to get out of this dungeon.

After passing through the intricately twisted place, we came out to the entrance of a cave with a view of a village in the distance.

It’s a place disguised as a beast’s den.

It’s my first time looking outside with my own eyes, not through someone else’s memories. It’s broad daylight, so I can see my surroundings clearly. Looking at the surroundings through the eyes of three people, it’s even more desolate than what I saw in my memories.

There are trees, but they are very sparse, and the plants themselves are similar to cacti.

It’s a desolate place, like the one you often see in American western movies.

While Wide and Isla are admiring the scenery outside, Tis looks around and slumps down.

Oh, my.

Did you ever think you could escape?

Actually, I had a strangely high level of antipathy. This is innate. A personality that can reject things that you think are wrong.

People’s personalities vary, and most can be corrected through physical abuse in the name of education.

There are exceptions.

In such cases, they usually kill them.

But Tish lived to the point where he had the wisdom to adapt himself to the heterogeneity of the world around him. That’s why he survived.

This place is so much fun.

Anyway, Jerome took them into the village.

And as soon as we entered the village, a man named Witgar came out to greet us. He was the highest ranking instructor.

And then they say to themselves, “You are blessed, you are chosen,” and they build up their self-esteem.

What’s hard to hold back laughter here is that neither Witgar nor Hieronymus seem to think so at all.

It’s obvious at first glance, but Wide, Isla, and even Tisha don’t seem to know. Tisha seems to hate the fact that she was chosen.

But I don’t really know about other people’s coldness. Is it because I see things rather than people?

Or maybe it’s because I’ve only ever seen eyes like that.

Wit, who looked at them with such eyes, took them to a certain place.

There were several large men there. One of them was the one who had brought the boy named La Planza to Isiturga earlier.

In other words, he is a person of warrior class.

Witga brought the children in front of them and shouted loudly.

The power was first given to the child. Therefore, there is a reason why you are receiving the blessing late.

That’s how we talk.

Huh? So it sounds like they wanted to receive the blessing willingly? But they made an excuse and pushed the children in because they thought a well-trained warrior might fly away.

It looks like that.

But lying is bad. You should have told me before telling them. Otherwise, you might get caught lying someday.

Of course, I could strictly control my encounters with simple believers.

How long will the control that shakes the subjectivity of faith in such a religious order last?

Let’s leave this for a bit later and see the scene where they experiment on the three children first.

Of course, they say it’s to show how powerful a blessing is, but in reality, it’s an experiment.

I’m curious too,

And the results.

I was quite surprised.

Tisha was really beaten and knocked down, but Isla and Wide were different. First of all, Isla.

I defeated more than five opponents by myself. Later, when two more people attacked me at the same time, I was hit and fell down, as if it was too much trouble.

The thing that changed the most was the wide.

He put a purple flame in his hand. Then everyone’s gaze changed, and one of the warriors who faced it was instantly engulfed in flames.

And then the next warrior came out, and finally the one who could use magic. He wrapped his sword in light and made blocks of ice float in the air.

But as the purple flames enveloped Wide’s entire body, they all burned up without reaching Wide.

And when the enemy disappeared, the purple fire disappeared.

It is a flame that is not hot itself but burns the other person.

Wide boasts loudly about it. It’s the power that Rebecca gave him. He didn’t give it to these two, and he was the only one chosen.

No, I never really made a distinction?

It felt like I was going through exactly the same process.

The only difference is that this one has a lot of light and warmth. But that’s the same for Isla.

Rather, the warmth was unusually low compared to lights of similar size.

Anyway, using the purple flame as a symbol, Wide further strengthens his own legitimacy, especially regarding faith.

He tells the story of how he received this gift because he believed in it the most.

There are only two people looking at it with frowning expressions.

Hieronymus and Wit.

Others pray while looking at the flame, thinking it is the answer to their faith.

He keeps shouting out names that sound like curse words like “Ksaxshibal.”

It doesn’t seem like a name that suits the name of the Future Hope Church.

And here’s something funny. Isla, who’s looking up at Wide with a jealous expression, is now in pain all over her body.

When we fought 2 on 1, I got hit for a long time. My whole body was aching, and I was more angry than I felt the pain. That was the opponent in front of me. And I faintly felt despair about why I wasn’t chosen.

He said that while grabbing the dirt on the floor.

But this kid is not funny.

The funny thing is, it’s a boy named Tishara.

Among these, he is the only one who hasn’t grown taller and his skin color hasn’t changed. The only thing that has changed is his hair color.

But I gained the ability. Because I no longer have any pain anywhere on my body. I don’t know to what extent, but when I fight, I get hit so hard that it breaks some parts of my body, but not a single part of my body hurts.

After being hit and flying away, he was lying still on the ground without moving his body, but he wasn’t unconscious. He was holding his breath and quietly observing the situation.

And just before Wide’s speech ends, he gets up and quickly goes behind Isla and prostrates himself.

Why are you going there?

But soon I found out why. Wide started making comparisons. First, he pointed to Tisha and mocked her for being blessed but not gaining any power.

After that, he immediately looked at Isla and persistently insisted that he was superior.

Hmm. My prediction was a little twisted. If the three had similar powers, I thought Wide would challenge Tisha in the order in which he received the blessing, but that’s difficult now.

Rather, Isla holds a grudge against Wide. And she seems to feel a faint sense of defeat.

They say that their skills are similar, but in reality, Isla was a little higher, but it turned out like this.

I like wide too. Oh my. It’s like five people’s worth of warmth! Isla didn’t kill anyone. She was defeated by her first opponent, Tish.

The harvester is doing its job!

lol.

The warmth seeps in. It’s the kind of warmth that makes you shiver in the cold, but then a warm breeze gently sweeps over your entire body.

I was able to gain warmth by realizing how much the people who gave me changed.

Today is a good day.
