He asks her a question while making a conventionally slightly surprised expression as if responding to her greeting him in a somewhat shy manner, slightly covering her cleavage with her hand.

“You are… the apostle of jealousy?”

“Huh, are you surprised?”

No, not at all.

Regardless of his true feelings, he nods his head with a slightly absent-minded expression.

“Considerably.”

Ask her.

“Why is the apostle acting as someone else’s secretary?”

“Can I say it’s half public duty, half personal interest?”

“I can’t tell you the details, so just assume that’s what I mean?”

“Oh my, that wasn’t such an extreme expression.”

“The meaning wasn’t wrong.”

That statement itself doesn’t seem to be a lie.

So then, in the end, aside from personal interest, there is something else you want to gain from him.

“Ah! I’m telling you this because I’m an old lady, but is this a secret from our guild leader?”

Michelle added, winking one eye.

He shrugs and shakes his head.

“Well… , don’t worry, that won’t happen.”

“Be trustworthy.”

This is the end of pretending to be surprised and letting out your frustration.

“Now let’s get to the main point.”

“Huh… , that’s too bad. If it were Dojin, I could have talked more privately.”

Michelle is blatantly seductive, lightly licking her lips painted in red lipstick with her tongue.

It’s an incredibly fascinating sight.

The facial expressions and actions that show exactly what a man finds attractive.

On the contrary, it felt a bit unpleasant.

How many men must I have seduced with my face and body to get to that point?

No matter how much I like a woman, I don’t like a woman who is so worn out.

But this is only the inside story.

“It’s quite tempting, but I tend to keep my personal needs locked up until I finish my work.”

On the outside, try to be as friendly as possible to boost her motivation.

In other words, it means that after a work-related conversation is over, you are more than welcome to engage in a private conversation.

“Heh, if you say so, I guess I should finish talking about work first.”

She sits on the sofa across from me with one leg crossed, and opens her mouth, revealing a bit of the top of her short skirt.

“So… why did you want to see me?”

There is only one reason why I asked to see you.

“I’m sure you can guess, but it’s for the alliance proposal.”

“An alliance to deal with arrogance?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Apostle of Arrogance.

Chris Emir’s misdeeds have already spread all over the world.

It was natural.

How many broadcasting stations were there and how many cameras did they have?

No matter how much confusion there is, are reporters really ordinary people?

Many things became known to the world thanks to their filming.

The Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Pillars of Evil.

And even the Dark Elves, an unknown being that crossed the dimensional threshold through the Abyss Gate.

After their true identity and ambitions were revealed, the world’s opinion was divided in half.

Half of the people are in favor of quickly uniting the countries to catch them.

Half of the people look down on the possibility that a group led by an individual can deal with the world.

The ratio of both sides is almost 5:5.

“Are they really that strong? So strong that they have to join hands with us, who are no different from our enemies?”

It seems like she’s a little closer to the latter.

Well, I understand.

No matter how powerful the Seven Deadly Sins are, it is difficult to think that a group created by individuals can take on the world.

But I know.

“Not strong.”

Because I’ve dealt with him in person, and seen the dark elf with my own eyes.

“Truly strong enough to fight the world.”

The fact that their arrogance might actually become reality.

That’s not all the problem.

“The choices of a person facing overwhelming power are divided into two.”

When faced with a power so great that it is impossible to even imagine, humans have three choices.

But one of them is running away, which is meaningless, so let’s just say there are two.

“Fight or submit.”

A strong force can either attract something or create a repulsive force.

It’s the same now.

Michelle’s face hardens as she understands what I mean and grasps the gravity of the situation.

“There must be many who are fascinated by his power and want to go down.”

“That’s right.”

Now I guess we’re starting to make some sense.

“Okay. I understand the necessity of the alliance.”

Let’s think about that for a moment.

“But I don’t think that’s necessarily why we have to join hands with you?”

“… … .”

So it turns out like this.

“Well… , right.”

It’s just as she said.

What I just brought up is just the reason why we must have this alliance.

That doesn’t necessarily mean they should accept my offer of an alliance.

Because they have one more option besides us.

“Arrogance is something you absolutely must defeat, but… Well, not for us.”

Michelle answered like that and smiled with a very relaxed attitude.

As I said before, there are two ways to deal with great power.

Confront or submit.

If they choose to submit, they don’t have to join hands with us.

In some ways, it might be a bigger opportunity for you.

If the world really turns upside down, I will become a founding father of the new nation that will be established later.

“If you want to gamble with a lot to gain and a lot to lose, then you should line up for that.”

But, well.

“If you are confident that you can put your head and that of the entire church on the line at a gamble with an infinitely high chance of losing.”

The sweet fruit entering their mouths is only a story of when their plan is successful.

Although they overestimated the strength of the guys in order to explain the legitimacy of the alliance, that doesn’t mean their arrogance has even a 10% chance of success.

Actually, that was a lot of work.

If we look at it objectively, the probability is 5%, or maybe even less.

Of course, I don’t know if the guy has a few more numbers he’s secretly hiding, but that aside.

She opened her mouth, casting a gaze that had become even colder at me.

“Being alive… is really important. But is being alive really all that matters?”

“… … .”

Her deep regret continues.

“We have always been heretics and pseudo-religion. Even though we worship a clearly existing God, and even though I hold him in my heart, people have always pointed fingers at us.”

People do not easily believe in the existence of God.

This was due to vigilance.

A pseudo-being born by humans, sucking the blood of countless people and then disappearing without a trace.

Because so many people have had their lives ruined by them.

This is what happens because you believe.

So people do not believe in any religion that has not been around for a very long time on this earth.

First, by unconditionally rejecting it as a pseudo-religion, a wall of distrust is built.

People tend to become blind from the moment they begin to believe.

In a sense, the Jealousy Sect is a victim of the distrust built up by the pseudo-religious.

Even though we worship a truly existing God, isn’t it not acknowledged anywhere?

Those years must have been truly humiliating and humiliating for them.

“If I have to live like that forever, I’d rather gamble my life… no, the lives of all the church members.”

Her words, declared with eyes filled with deep resentment, were sincere.

I can understand that feeling to some extent.

If I lived my whole life without being recognized and being pointed at, I would have accumulated a lot of resentment.

He says he’s willing to gamble to resolve this grudge.

In other words, doesn’t that mean that if only we could resolve that resentment on our side?

“Then you should stick to us even more.”

“… What did you say?”

I bring up the story I shared with the saint to the bewildered girl.

“If you join us, the saint will appear in public. And she will say:”

“No way… .”

Michelle’s eyes widen as if they were going to tear apart.

“Invidia, the goddess of jealousy, is a real god, and they are not cults… , he said.”

The influence of the saints of the Vatican Orthodox Church, which has hundreds of millions of followers, on the religious world is truly unprecedented.

What would happen if she officially recognized the Jealousy Cult?

“Then you too will be able to work in the sun instead of the shade.”

Whether or not they can gather followers is entirely up to them, but at least they will no longer have to resort to fraudulent means of recruiting followers from the shadows, targeting criminals.

And that’s exactly what they want.

“… Did the saint really make such a promise?”

“Yes. If you want, you can specify it in the contract.”

“Ha, haha.”

Michelle laughs with a dumbfounded expression, as if she can’t believe it.

She soon came to her senses and looked at me with a more sincere smile than ever.

“You are a really attractive person.”

“… suddenly?”

“It can’t be helped.”

Michelle got up from her seat, walked leisurely towards me, and bowed.

She whispers in my ear, her voluptuous breasts draped before my eyes.

“You solved the church’s long-standing problem in one go, right?”

hmm.

If you think about it that way, maybe it could look that way too.

“How are you?”

She secretly lifted the hem of her dress to reveal her snow-white legs.

“Now that we’re done with the public conversation… , how about we go back to private conversation?”

“… … .”

I can kind of understand why the guy is so obsessed with this woman.

A woman who is too strong is attracted to a guy who has just lost sympathy.

Wouldn’t it be nice to spend the night once in a while?

That thought lasted only a moment.

I try to suppress my surging emotions and reach out and gently push her shoulder.

“Sorry, let’s do it next time.”

Things are difficult in many ways right now.

Because there is an audience member looking at me with eyes red with jealousy.
