While I was talking, Lina whispered softly in my ear. ``If you do something bad, you'll be arrested for blasphemy.''
Lina muttered while covering her mouth at my words.
Lina looked at Genoa with a nervous look on her face, but at first she didn't care about how she was perceived by the citizens.
Well, to take a simple example, she wanted to make sure no one cared what the roadside grass bug thought of her.
"What is blasphemy?"
I laughed at Lina's words.
When I said it smelled like garbage, I meant Genoa, not Guyanese goddess.
No, to be honest, I was confident that I would insult her even in front of the goddess.
``Year of the Balanced Beast!''
Contrary to what people think, the goddesses don't particularly care about humans.
To them, bugs in the grass on the side of the road, nameless weeds, and humans are just living things.
The only people they discriminate against are the Demon King and his subordinates.
According to the Goddess, the Demon King is a disease that upsets the balance of the world, and I am the medicine that will cure it.
"Anyway, it doesn't matter."
When I said that to Lina, she grabbed my hand with an uneasy expression on her face.
The hero chosen by the goddess is blasphemy.
Even if I publicly cursed the goddess, the Guyanese Church had to hide it and reveal it somehow.
"I'm going."
When I said that to Lina, she looked surprised at the entrance to the village.
They saw a beautiful white carriage decorated with gold slowly enter the village. Lot No.
A carriage engraved with the seal of a saint.
The people of the small town could not see the seal, but they knelt down and began praying to the chariot.
Only me and the Holy Knight stood and watched.
It wasn't until I stopped that I realized that Genoa was interested in me.
I saw several holy knights staring at me, but I calmly waited for the saint to get off her carriage.
Immediately after that, one of the knights opened the door of the stopped chariot, and Saint Marianne appeared.
Her sky blue hair and white skin symbolize her as a goddess.
Then I saw her striking maroon eyes looking around her.
And just like in Genoa, St. Marian looked at me with a strange expression.
**
"Your victim definitely deserves respect. However, please don't expect any requests from me."
It's been several years since I defeated the Demon King.
I had to hear this from Marian when I visited the temple to get this common potion.
To be honest, she didn't expect the girl who forgot her potion to say something like that.
There is no problem, even if you use hundreds of bottles of this medicine.
Still, she probably told me that out of anger. After defeating the Demon King in
She refused Marianne's appointment as Pope of the Church of Guyana.
No, in fact, I didn't care whether she became pope or not, and I didn't have any particular objections.
She simply refused Marian's request to stand by her side.
``It's just a few potions, isn't it?''
``As much as I like it, I can't do whatever I want with church property.''
Marianne told me. .
Of course, she's not wrong.
Just because she held the office of pontiff did not mean that she had the freedom to use items belonging to the order.
Normally, he might have regretted her words, but she couldn't convince him.
That is, if I had not known that I had wasted several bottles of medicine that she had given me, bathed me in fancy medicine to preserve her youth, and spent large sums of luxury on donations to saints.
"Is it because of work?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Did you do it because I wasn't on your side when you kicked out the previous pope?"
"What about them?" Say something that can be misunderstood by anyone. The former pope resigned not because others wanted him to, but because he felt inadequate."
I laughed out loud at Marian's shameless remark.
That's what she asked me to do, and most of the world knew that she got rid of the Pope.
I don't agree with this.
Well, compared to the emperor, who died mysteriously, Marianne might have been more confident because the Pope saved her life.
"I'm sorry, but I'm busy with my day job." You're not a child, are you?
Those were the last words St. Marian said to me.
And I was kicked out of the Guyanese Church by men who claimed to be ministers of the Guyanese Church.
At that time, I didn't have the strength of a hero; my whole body was eroded by magic, and I wasn't in a normal state.
``Sure, the goddess has the right to demand anything, but can she come out like this?''
I thought Marian had kicked me out.
I promise to pay you back someday.
**
"Marianne Delarosi. It's been a while, you bastard."
As I looked at Marian, I could see anger boiling inside her.
However, it is still too early to vent this anger.
I only allowed her to smile at Marian, baring her white teeth.
"Everyone, please wake up. I'm not one for such exaggerated greetings."
Marianne looked at me as she cried out to the people kneeling in prayer.
Saint Marian Delarossi.
To her, she was certainly the complete opposite of Genoa.
Her nature was more greedy and dangerous than any other, but outwardly, she perfectly reflected her divine form.
Even I, who never left her for a moment, didn't know her true face until she defeated the Demon King and revealed her true face.
"Well, I guess that's because I was a hopeless idiot."
I looked at Marian with a self-deprecating smile.
A gentle smile on the lips.
A warm look toward people.
Even to strangers, she radiated such compassion and an aura of holiness that one might wonder if she was a saint.
Turning her head a little to look at her, I saw her face frown at the sight of her holy form.
The reason Genoa hated the saint was simple.
That's because her birth as a saint was so horribly low that she couldn't even imagine it.
The dirtiest alley in the imperial capital.
The brothel was the place where their saint was born.
Of course, the saint, who was quite concerned about this fact, also hated Genoa.
"Is that you?"
As I looked toward Genoa, a saint walked in front of me.
The Saint looked at me and asked, and I slowly nodded in response to her question.
``W-What?!''
``No, the oracle was real!''
I could see that the Holy Knights and Genoa were surprised.
This only later became true, but most people in the Church of Gaius did not believe that the saint received oracles from her.
They were so surprised that I confirmed their sacred question.
``...Do you know what I asked?''
``You know very well. You are not the only one who can communicate with the goddess.
That's what I told the saint.
And the Saint caught my eye at my arrogant answer, and all the knights of the Holy Knights, including Genoa, began to show a fighting spirit as if they were about to attack.
The saint was not the only one who was surprised by my words.
Lina, who was kneeling next to me, stared at me without covering her mouth, and the villagers, who had been ignoring me for a while, just blinked at the strange flow of the conversation.
"Yes, you bastard. Do you know how great a sin you have committed?
Finally, one of the knights of the Holy Knights drew his sword and pointed it at my neck, shouting.
A cold blade was aimed at her neck, but I stared at the saint with a calm expression.
That's because I knew that I was the only one who could resolve this situation.
"...What?"
The saint asked in a cold voice about the knight's sudden action.
In any case, the one leading this group was a saint.
However, even though he only answered the saint's question, the paladin acted on his own.
Of course, a Paladin would never do such an arbitrary act alone.
At that moment, the eyes of the Paladin, who had been glued to my neck, were fixed on Genoa.
``Miss. No matter how many oracles there are, it's not easy to believe this man's words.''
``...That's why you're trying to find out now, right? If this person is truly the chosen one, how disrespectful is that?"
"Isn't this an oracle originally only heard by the saint? So please leave it to us.
While listening to the conversation between Saint and Genoa, I twisted the corner of my mouth.
Although my tone was polite,
``Ha, I'm in charge of this matter.''
``...I have confirmation to protect the saint, who is beyond my power. This is a necessary procedure.'' I held out my hand as I watched them struggle for dominance, and one person stood in front of them.
What his hand was pointing at was nothing but a sword pointed at his neck.
As I clutched the blade with my bare hands, I saw the knight looking confused and pointing his sword at my throat.
``Why don't you prove it?''
``...Yes?''
``I'll prove that I'm the person you're looking for.'' The paladin was aiming for his throat. .
He felt excruciating pain as red blood flowed from his neck.
"Kyaa!"
Lina immediately shouted, and the villagers couldn't hide their bewilderment at the situation.
The Paladin, who had pointed her sword at my throat, hurriedly drew her sword and moved away from her, but the Saint and Genoa just stared at me in silence at my sudden action.
"Your expressions are incredible."
Seeing their confused expressions, I grinned.
That alone was enough to put pressure on the two of them.
I smiled lightly, and the wound on my neck from the sword began to heal immediately.
A grace bestowed by the Goddess of Guyana.
It's because of my immortal body.
"What do you think? Is that enough evidence?"
And this moment.
"Wow, that's a miracle. A miracle of the goddess has occurred!"
At the words of the village chief, I saw all the villagers kneeling down and praying to me.
She began to show behavior that only a saint would show.
They all did the same thing, from Carson, who tried to kick me out the first day I came to town, to Aunt Emily, who gathered all the girls in the neighborhood and spread all kinds of bad rumors about me.
Only Lina looked at me with a surprised expression.
I looked around at the villagers and asked the saint again.
"Why? Don't we have enough evidence yet?"
"...No. You are the one chosen by the goddess."
Saying that, the saint kneeled in front of me and bowed her head. The holy knights also began to kneel before her with reverent expressions.
Only Genoa looked at me as if something had happened.
"It's not bad."
I was excited to see the villagers, saints, and holy knights kneeling in front of me in prayer.
