Chapter 138 - My Guess Is Correct
It was a detour. đređŚđđ˛đŁđŻđ°Î˝âŻđ.cđźď˝
I turned around to face Yoro-san, and as expected the Cardinal reacted to that.
ăOya? As expected, is there something that came into your mind? Is it related to that big man in the suit of armor over there?ă
ăThat rude thunderstorm that suddenly dropped lightning on us? Well, there is no doubt that I was the one who blew it away though.ă
ăYoro-san. Please donât confess such a thing so smoothly, I donât even have time to stop you.ă
ăI donât care about that small thunderstorm that I scattered. It wouldnât even compare to something that a god did even at best.ă
The god of thunder, the kin of the Main GodâIt is most definitely that thunderstorm that Yoro-san accidentally blew away the day before we entered the country.
The Cardinal laughed out loud in front of Yoro-san, who just confessed himself.
ăHahaha! As expected, in front of someone who emits the majesty of god like me, villains like you people canât hide away, huh?ă
ăThere is no need for me to hide since I feel like I did nothing wrong.ă
ăArenât âI feel like i am not guiltyâ and âI am not guiltyâ different?ă
And then, Yoro-san put his hand on the Cardinalâs shoulder and started pressuring him.
ăI have questions for you too. Why does this country worship a thundercloud? You said that it was âThe god of thunder, the kin of the Main Godâ. Then, that means that the god of thunder and the Main God are not the same god, do you understand that? Why didnât you worship the Main God? I will be troubled if the faith in that guy is diminished and he became weaker.ă
According to Yoro-san, the god in this placeâthe god that possessed that girl who is the candidate for the Shrine Maiden was not the thunder god. However, the sculptures on the capitalâs cathedral and the square were all in the shape of lightning.
Even RÄko misunderstood that the god in this place=the god of thunder.
ăFufu, you donât know anything⌠The true god is too awe-inspiring. An existence that is too easy to worship. The general public here worships the main godâs kin, the thunder god and the guardian beasts, like what I didâThatâs right! Like what I did! Only geniuses that have been selected! Only they are forgiven to worship the true god!ă
ăThen call your god here with prayers. I want to challenge him to a duel. ă
ăChallenging the god to a duelâŚ? Hahaha! What an interesting joke, isnât it? By the way, are you trying to commit suicide? Then you should probably consult the church. Letâs reach out to them for help.ă
I was looking at the Cardinal with admiration. I also want this kind of mental strength.
Yoro-san was listening to him silently, but he suddenly frowned his mouth in displeasure. But, it doesnât seem that the Cardinalâs attitude is the concern.
ăI donât understand. Faith is the source of magical power for gods. And you guys are not praying to him? That is like taunting the god himself.ă
ăIs that so? But not worshipping the Main God itself is a decree that the Shrine Maiden of the previous generation received directly from the Main god himself, you know? âEach worshiper and each of their prayers are noisy, you idiot. Pray to my subordinates instead.â The god himself said that.ă
ăOh, so not just when talking to Yoro-san, but he always has that kind of tone, huh. That sort of Kami-sama.ă
With that kind of tone, there is probably no impression of fear and such. Rather, it made the atmosphere too light.
However, he still is the god that defeated Yoro-san. His power alone is awe-inspiring.
And then, the Cardinal made a gesture with both of his palms.
ăArmor-kun over there. There is no doubt that you harmed Raijin, an important subordinate of the Main God, right?ă
ăI scattered it with one hit of my right hand.ă
ăI beg you. Iâm begging you Yoro-san. Please stay silent and let me talk. RÄko too, donât say anything until I allow it, okay.ă
ăPlease do not worry. Have I ever done something without your permission?ă
ăThatâs right. You are really excellent.ă
I had both RÄko and Yoro-san sit down, and I positioned myself in front of the Cardinal and faced him alone.
ăFufu. What a strange combination. There are times where humans managed to tame demons and use them as familiars, but donât tell me a lizard managed to tame demons. Moreover, the two of them are really powerful too.ă
ăYoro-san, isnât RÄko a human?ă
ăDontâ be stupid. She transcends the magical powers of humans no matter how you look at her. What is she if she is not a demon?ă
Thatâs right, huh. The magical power that resides inside of RÄko is the fear of the âEvil Dragon RÄvendia.â In a sense, RÄko is the Evil Dragon herself. So she is probably counted as a demon.
ăI have investigated you people already. Arenât you the lizard that was allowed to enter the country yesterday? There is information that your scales can be a valuable medicine but⌠its fake isnât it. Did you make those demons to do a trick?ă
ăIâm very sorry. I canât deny anything about that.ă
My scales can only be a substitute for a kinda bad dashi soup stock. That valuable medicine thing is just completely a RÄko scam.
ăWell, I donât care much about that. What I want to hear is your purpose. Defeating the god of thunder and kidnapping a Shrine Maiden candidateâ I can only see this as a means to destroy this country, do you have any excuses?ă
ăE, eetooâŚă
I turned around and faced Yoro-san. I can make an excuse for the kidnapping, but there is nothing I can say about defeating the thunder god.
Then, there is no choice but to hide the very bad part and honestly admit the rest to some extent.
ăActually, Yoro-san over there is an old acquaintance of the god here. So, he just came here to warm up his old friendship. But when we came and saw a different god, he went and said âA fake, huh!â or so I heard when he defeated it. There is no intention to be hostile with this country.ă
However, my claim was dismissed with laughter.
ăAn old acquaintance of the Main God? Along with the time when the thunder god didnât exist yet? Hahahaha, you idiots should have thought more carefully. There is no such case with the demons. Except for that demon that is the Former Demon King that is!ă
Yeah. Thatâs the Demon King.
Yoro-san laughed loudly, as if in tune with the voice of my heart.
