This was about six months before Jin Tang Jen and his men were summoned to another world.
On this day, a divine matter determining the fate of this world was being carried out in the temple in the heart of the Shinto capital of the Elgant Empire, a great power on the north side, seen from the kingdom of Eldia, which summoned Jin Tang Jen.
The Elgant Empire is a big enough power to enter ten fingers in this world, as well as the main mountain of the 'goddess' that practises the real goddess.
'Goddesshood' is the world's largest religion, its followers are present in every country in the world, and it may not be an exaggeration to say that it is the world's largest nation if its influence is included.
And the Elgant Empire has no king because of its religious state and the Pope has become a substantial head of state. To be more precise, the pinnacle of this country will be called 'Goddess'.
"So what was the result of the commissioning?
In an auditorium in the temple, a magnificent man dressed in cleric clothing asks one nun.
This auditorium currently brings together those who should also be called the Heavy Town of the Elgant Empire. That's all I'm saying is that this divine matter means.
The word "divine" is the means to receive the most preferred "Goddess's Word" in this country.
In the "Between the Temples", a witch (Miko) recognized by the goddess can hear the goddess by praying according to the procedure.
Of course, prayer does not always answer, and it is only about a few times a year at most that there is a divinity.
"According to the temple the witch received, it is the kingdom of Eldia that performs the valiant summons"
"Isn't this our country..."
"I thought this was the time..."
Many heavy towns sigh upon the words of the nuns.
And it came to pass on this day, that the trustee said, Which kingdom will summon the brave?
Just a month before this shrine, the goddess's shrine revealed the occurrence of the Demon King.
When I say Demon King, I mean an individual of the Demon Nation with powerful powers that occur periodically.
It is even said that the outbreak is a 'disaster' that cannot be prevented with the power of the goddess, and that no other than the brave man can be destroyed. In fact, there is no record in the past that any but the brave have defeated the Demon King.
In the first place, I refer to the demonic tribe as the evil race that exists in the western part of the kingdom of Eldia, commonly known as the 'demonic territory'. The Demons usually rarely come out of the 'Demon Territory'.
In the first place, it is not easy to come and go because it is divided by a huge mountain range….
But only if the Demon King occurs. In that case, the Demons will start popping out of the 'Demonic Realm' in an attempt to eradicate mankind (including subhumans, etc.).
In the past, demon kings have occurred many times, and mankind has suffered less damage each time.
And each time, the goddess' divine entrustment summoned a brave man from another world.
There is a law in this trust, and just a month after "The Occurrence of the Demon King" was announced, a commission on "Instructions for Summoning the Brave" will be awarded.
"Procedure for Summoning the Brave" consists of "Place," "Time," and "Procedure," and reproducing only "Place" and "Procedure" does not result in the Brave being summoned.
To say this' brave summons' is a certain status, and the voice of a country that has succeeded in summoning will be greatly increased. It is not hard to imagine that as an Elgant empire that believes in goddesses, it was an honor that I very much wanted to secure.
"I would also say it was good in the kingdom of Eldia, depending on what you think. The national religion of that country is' goddess', and the royal family keeps it cordial with our country"
"Right. There is also a Kastal kingdom in the neighborhood that once benefited by summoning brave men, so the brave men will not be defeated."
When a magnificent man found advantages in summoning in the kingdom of Eldia, a man who was nearby nodded affirming the statement.
It is the man who spoke earlier, Pope Christopher, who is the greatest power in the Elgant Empire.
"Uhm, but Eldia is the country closest to 'Demonic Territory'. Though the brave grow so fast that they can't compare to the average person, if they attack you before you grow up, don't you have one?
"Haven't you read the Bible? The kingdom that summoned the brave will roughly be the unbreakable sanctuary of the Demons in January due to the glory of the goddess that occurs at the time of the summons. Rather, it is also believed that the summons will strengthen the frontline defenses in Eldia"
"Ugh, um, you were... That would have been a relief."
Heavy towns (laughs), which haven't loaded much scripture, sweat cold when Christopher supplements them so that they can snort.
(Even though some countries were destroyed after January for every half of the brave people, it's not that reassuring.)
Christopher laughs bitterly without saying it to his mouth.
Being human doesn't make a difference when it comes to being a brave man summoned from another world. There will be individual differences, albeit fast growing, and there is no such thing as a guarantee that we will necessarily be strong enough to overwhelm the Demons in January. There is no doubt that the Kingdom of Eldia will be exposed to an unprecedented crisis.
From Far Tai Ancient to the present, the crusade of the Demon King by the brave has always been (...), but the Pope himself understands in the first place that there is no absolute guarantee there.
"So, what's the date and time of the summons?
"It's six months from now. They say the place is in the cathedral of the Royal Palace of Eldia. We have already begun to prepare notifications to countries."
There is a good distance from the Elgant Empire to the Kingdom of Eldia.
I never went over to get ready faster because I fly letters with bird demons that I let demons teach (Tame).
"Good luck. Oh, don't forget to pick someone to assist you with your summons"
"Yes, I understand."
The Elgant Empire has summoned brave men many times in the past, and its accumulation of know-how is sufficient. Although I could not be a summoner this time, I am not so unbelievable as to rely on the release of that know-how.
"So, Mary, no, how's the witch?
To say Mary is the name of a contemporary witch.
He is 18 years old and young, but vigorously fulfills his duties as a witch, and has a good reputation around him.
"We are draining a lot. I was wondering if we would wake up for a couple of days..."
"Is this as inherited..."
One of the heavy towns squeals.
I explained about the shrine, "Hear the Goddess," but this is still slightly underexplained, and if it is to be communicated more accurately, I should say, "I borrow the body of the witch and the Goddess speaks".
Naturally, there is a great burden on a witch to bring God down on that body. A shrine, which usually ends with a word or two, also needs a detailed explanation when it comes to a valiant summons. For that matter, the burden on the witch is much greater.
I had predicted, but after the Pope it is important... No, the inaction of the witch/Mary, who is more important than the Pope if poorly done, also casts a dark shadow on the expressions of the heavy towns.
"Later, I'll come and see you. Rest in peace, but use the Restorative Magic."
"Oh, if it were the work of Lord Christopher, the peak user, Mary would certainly recover faster."
"Even if you say so, there's nothing out there. Besides, I don't know how effective it will be on the load of the trust until I try."
The Yoisho of Heavy Town (laughter) also listens, and the Pope does not break his fortitude.
In fact, Pope Christopher is considered the most < restorative magic > aptitude of the Elgant Empire. In the first place, one of the reasons for becoming a pope was its mighty restorative magic, so Yoisho of Heavy Town may not be out of place.
It should be noted that if it were meant to be, the load due to the commissioning would be treated as a 'test of God', but this time some parts said that the situation had no choice but to cause the situation.
We then discussed preparations for the brave summons and the confirmation of the summons procedure confirmed by the divine commission, and the meeting was concluded on that day.
Past records show that within a week there will be a commission again, which should explain the parts and supplements that could not be explained this time.
After the meeting was over, Christopher took to the witch sleeping under the load of the temple.
It was a clean, manageable room with no dust.
"I now greet you, Pope, about Mary."
"Um, let's try as much as we can"
The nun who was in the room said so and left the room.
It is famous for the Pope that witches are like daughters, considering that it would be better not to have outsiders.
Well, in conclusion, this decision was a failure...
After the nun left the room, the Pope opened the window to Xu (Omoro).
The day was good and sunny, no clouds, and the breeze was pleasant.
(You sleep a lot)
The Pope sees a witch sleeping in bed.
The witch rests peacefully. Having fallen asleep under the load of a shrine is, simply put, tantamount to an excessively drained state of health.
Sleeping peacefully on the surface, just because you are tired and sleeping, doesn't mean you will.
The Pope chants < restorative magic > so as not to interfere with its sleep......,
"Ugh..................................................."
I knifed a witch's heart without.
The knife, protruding with little or no sound, instantly took the life of a witch.
The Pope, who kept watching it untouched, pulled out the knife when he confirmed the witch's death and jumped out the window.
Then, when he returned to his room in an unmistakable foothold, he opened that thick door.
"Kuhi-ku, kuhi-ku... already... kill me..."
It was a magnificent man with the same face as Pope Christopher there, no, the real Pope Christopher.
A black-shaped sword was protruding in his belly.
He is ungrateful, but the name of this sword is' Demon Sword Eternal Payne ', a cursed demon sword that continues to bind subjects without killing them.
It is a demon sword that will later also be used by the Queen of Queen Castar.
"Ha, fine. I've done enough for you, and I'll kill you."
The Pope, who killed the witch, fogs the ever fortitude and answers with an evil grin somewhere.
"For... and...?
"Yes. Killing your precious witch is a little errand."
"Nah......!?
A real pope who moves his mouth painfully without believing what emanates from his mouth.
"How does it feel to be killed by a guy who looked exactly like himself who thought he was my daughter? Wouldn't that be great? Ha ha ha!
"This... demon tribe... How dare you, Mary...!
It's a real thing that turns a kill intent on the fake that incites it, but I wonder if it's sad. Its power and thoughts don't reach the fake.
They say they killed their own loved ones, but they can't do anything. I just wait to be killed myself.
"That's right. I am a demon, my name is Romarie. The Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army: The Romarier of Fantasy. We had a short relationship, but it was a lot of fun, thank you. Kuku, and more importantly, the Demons become the Pope of the Reich, so there's no such thing as a masterpiece."
"Oy! Oy!!!
At least a blow, that's what makes me ramble, but I can't even get that fist to Romarier.
"Oh, yeah, yeah. Rest assured. I killed the witch so the Pope would know."
"Is...?
"Bye."
With that said, the Demon Clan (Romarier) pulls the 'Demon Sword Eternal Payne' out of the belly of a real pope.
This demon sword 'won't kill' only while the sword is stabbed. 'Death' is the only thing waiting for what has been pulled out of the sword in a dying state.
"Ha......!?
My daughter, in addition to killing the loved ones I thought were the same, and from now on, I can rub the blame for killing my loved ones on myself.
Exactly, the Pope, who received a place to work that could be described as the worst, held his breath with despair in his face.
"Ha ha, no, that was a good spectacle. This is why you can't stop turning into someone else."
When the Pope loses his life, the appearance of the Demon Nation (Romarier) changes with reluctance. I became a long-haired blonde with purple skin. Skin and hair colors belong to a typical Demon clan.
Demons (Romariers) have the ability to turn into others. It is Romarier's role to use this ability to transform him into a powerful man and crush his opponents to the detriment of the Demons.
As a shortcoming of ability, there is something to say that only the figure of the living opponent can be taken away, but that point has been overcome by The Devil's Sword and Eternal Payne.
Rather, it is the current situation that you may not even think of it as a flaw because after being liked as you are, you can see how the real thing reacts.
"Well, the backwork is done, and I guess it's time to go on my next assignment"
Something in a black robe came out of Romarier's shadow when I said that.
Romarier doesn't look like he cared about it, and opens the letter handed to him by the robe.
"Thank you. Uh, what's next... to turn into the princess of Queen Castar? It's great to be at the top of the country for two in a row."
Turn yourself, the enemy of humanity, into the top of the human kingdom and do whatever you want. It is one of the most enjoyable Romarier hobbies.
"Oh, is he ready? Then I'll be much easier. [M] He's obedient to the Demon King, so he's more tense than he needs to be."
Leaving such pointless solitaire, Romarier left the room behind. As you can find out, borrow the figure of a servant who is appropriately left half-dead for life...
A while later, a nun entered the room wondering that the Pope would never come out and discovered the witch's body. I went to the Pope to listen to the circumstances, considering the circumstances, and he was found committing suicide (...) in the room.
Looks like he died holding a knife in his hand that would be the murder weapon that killed the witch, stabbing himself in the stomach with that knife. There was blood all over the room because he was poking his belly as if to decide.
From this it developed into a great scandal that determined the culprit of the witch's murder as pope and rocked the country.
Because those two deaths were so shocking, he said, there was nothing to be told about the servants who had died in the same room as the Pope.
The Shinto kingdom, which lost its witch in this matter, was unable to receive a divine commission until the next generation of witches took office, and was to miss hearing about the divine commission to be awarded within a week.
Had the temple been awarded at that time, later history would have changed dramatically.
No one would have dreamed that the goddess herself was going to present 'Abort the Summoning of the Brave'.
