Episode 39: After the ritual.

Samurai and bureaucrats were busy working at the Royal Castle in the Kingdom of Memphis.

They were equally busy moving around before the ceremony, but they were never released from the busy the day after the ceremony was supposed to be over.

Documents piled up like mountains.

It's a complaint from the people.

A country abandoned by God because the nobles who would otherwise have to bring the people together to serve the country were jumping into a power struggle.

A civilian who feared touching God's wrath was about to flee the King's capital.

I try not to escape using all the soldiers, but some of them were also being chased by the response at the beginning and end of their appearance.

The only way to die is in a country where the people are gone, etc.

"Shit, how did this happen?"

The Beast King, who was fighting massive amounts of paperwork in his own office, falls to his desk with his head.

Several pieces of paperwork fall apart from the desk at that time.

Let me check the contents, it was a plea that the famous Chamber of Commerce in Wang Du would like permission because it would start new business in another city. Large-scale commerce, such as that carried out by large chambers of commerce, can be punishable if it is carried out without permission.

"I suppose after I get permission, I'll shrink my business in the King's Capital."

Normally I gradually increase the business I started on a small scale.

But given the state of the King's Capital today, it just seems like we're going to scale down our activities in the King's Capital and build on the new business axis and scale it up.

That's how bad the King's Capital is today.

Until yesterday it was a vibrant city but people were leaning down and walking through the city and occasionally there were people praying toward heaven. The store was also open about half the time, and some people retrieved the merchandise in the store and escaped.

That's how much people fear divine punishment.

- The Wang capital, the heart of the country, is likely to be the first to be subject to divine punishment.

Apparently it was because of rumors like that.

Of course, rumors like that are bullshit.

But those who were watching the moment when God would punish them had no basis on which to deny the rumors.

"You were coming"

"Have you noticed"

Speaking out made me realize I existed with the Beast King in the office.

"You've been rough for a long time."

"The Wang du is as noisy as it was yesterday. But I never thought things would change so much just because things changed."

Yesterday was a noise filled with smiles enjoying the festival.

Today, however, it is a commotion caused by fear resembling a panic fleeing the King's capital.

I don't think it's the noise that's going on in the very same place.

"So, what do you want today?

"I've got a message for the Beast King and he's here today."

"Message?"

Under these circumstances, from whom?

"It's a message from the goddess."

"What!? But with Noel dead, there's no more 'witches'... no, are you like the nobles"

A witch with a noble breath was trying to direct the people so that it would be convenient for them to convey a fake trust.

But witches influenced by nobility are already old.

There is no way that the divine chastisement of their spoken trusts has been stoned.

It is made such a situation by the hands of the nobles.

Moreover, words from the royal castle had also been discredited for doing so.

"No, I've kept the words of the goddess."

"Don't be silly. I'm not even a witch. You guys can't possibly hear the goddess."

"Apparently I'm forgetting, so I'll tell you, she's descended into this world right now. It's now possible to listen to a goddess without being a witch."

"Damn... I forgot about that!

The goddess walks behind the square in front of the Great Temple.

If you don't need me already, it's not strange to think that I've stayed for some reason that I wish I'd gone home with my own feet.

"Where are you?

"What?

"It's Tishua, the goddess. This is the situation. Go out and negotiate with me."

"Negotiate... What are you going to make me do?

"It is decided. Say 'forgive' everything."

I was never abandoned by God.

By showing her reflection, the goddess' hoarding dropped, allowing her to live the way she has lived.

That might calm the people down, too.

"That's my message."

"That?"

"-" The only thing I punish is the root of all evil. You will not be harmed '. I'm not going to show up, but he said it would be fine as long as I told him the words. "

"Right!

Forgiveness was obtained from the goddess.

The Beast King, who feels better, leaves the office.

- This is the word from the goddess.

The Beast King exalts a message from the Goddess to the people in front of the royal castle.

The voice of the Beast King was delivered to those who were in front of the royal castle. Many should have been able to hear a message from the Goddess because it has been delivered to all of the King's Capital using magic tools that can deliver the voice further afield.

"Forgiveness was obtained. So there's no need to fear divine punishment!

This solves everything.

I also talked to the bureaucrats in advance and relied on it as a one-shot reversal measure.

"Don't be ridiculous!

A stone flies from among the people who were listening to the Beast King.

"Gu......!

A flying stone was cutting the forehead of the Beast King.

A stone that can be thrown one after the other in the wake of the first one.

Suddenly, the first shot could not be prevented, but since the second shot, it has been struck down by a runaway escort.

"Calm down, please!

The king of beasts with his voice up.

"Again, you're telling me to trick us!

"You're not gonna fool me anymore."

No one could believe the words of the Beast King because the nobles were circulating deceptive information.

No more persuasion is in vain.

Yes, the judging Beast King disappears into the royal castle while being guarded by an escort.

Sitting on a nearby bench, first aid is given and a bandage is wrapped around his forehead by the doctor who rushed him.

"In the end, I'm powerless..."

Even if I get forgiveness from the goddess, I don't have the means to tell her.

"I have a message from the goddess who told me I could tell her if this is the case."

All of a sudden, the guards who appear before the king alert me.

I make full use of [sign blocking] from Sylvia, so it was easy to dive into the gaps in their consciousness.

An escort hands on the weapon.

"Stop it!"

"But..."

"He crusaded the Thunderbeast alone. Can you train thunderbeasts in bundles?"

There's no way I can do that.

Still, as an escort, you can't easily allow suspicious people to approach you.

"We're definitely going to be busy. Don't waste your precious life."

"Ha......!

A guard who salutes and walks away from the king.

"What?

He asks without power.

I'm not as hectic as I've felt before.

Apparently, he really enjoyed being stoned by the people.

"'Improve the situation not to be trusted by this people'. That's Noel's punishment for betraying his righteous daughter while he was his stepfather."

"Right..."

The Beast King who said he would fulfill his responsibilities as king.

The path was more difficult than I imagined.

The goddess asked me to give her a message to make her aware of it.

"Where have I been wrong?

"Probably the last one"

We should have stayed on Noel's side until the end.

"I am a man who became king only for the reason that I have the strongest arm in the sons of my predecessors. Some nobles are attracted to my strength and obey me, but many nobles fought over power by insulting me for not being royal. If it stays that way, the country cracks because of the runaway aristocrats. So I plotted a lot to take in Marquis Remtar, who was the biggest faction among the nobles, and Noel..."

"But it was an act of betrayal of God's proxy"

He tried to side with the nobility to prevent the inner part of the country from cracking.

But that led to the loss of the pillars that supported the country itself. That way, the country collapses in pieces, not cracks.

"I also did something sorry to Noel..."

Beast king weeping thinking of dead Noel.

The tears also seemed real.

This is the last message from the goddess.

Close to the ear that only the Beast King can hear.

"'Noel is alive'"

"Oh no...!

"I can't tell you the details. But the Goddess miracle has brought her back to life, and she says she's going to live free."

"Right..."
