"But when it comes to investigating the ruins, I'm the only one who's tough."

Mr. Alonda asked me to, Mr. Rose, but I said that a little bit later. Then I looked back, and my gaze went to Saluena...... I thought I was going, but I kept flowing sideways and stayed in Toslin.

"Mr. Toslin, Mr. Carroll. Can you help?"

"Of course. I'll ask you anything Rose wants. However…"

"I'll take what you want."

Carol, who should have slept quietly on my lap, opened her eyes patsy.

"Wow, what a surprise!!"

The dripping head suddenly lifted up, so I nearly hit the nose column with my head in jeopardy. Danger. Danger.

"You know what? I'm risking my life, and I'm not going for free. What's going on around there? Mr. Alonda."

"Of course this is true for Priestess Rosalis, but we will pay you according to your strengths"

"You have to come. That's the church. I can tell the story."

Toslin or Carol used to say the church pays well, but it really does. Well, there are followers all over the world, so the total amount of bounce and all that is going to be amazing... so what a shitty thing I am to take care of.

"May I measure your strength once to determine your reward?"

"I don't mind. Rather, it's been over six months since I last measured it, and I'd love to."

"Because there wasn't a church on the front desk. I knocked out golems and dragons and everything, and I think I can expect to level up."

"Eilees is the one who knocked him down."

……

Mr. Alonda's gaze turned to me.

"Huh... what is it?"

I suddenly looked back and was stared at, so I was freaked out.

"He said it was in the deposition, so I'm not suspicious, but he said you really knocked down the dragon... Hey, sister, I can't believe it."

Either you doubt it or you don't. Nevertheless, a bookstore daughter like me defeated the dragon. Whatever they say, it's usually unbelievable, isn't it? Even I'm still half-hearted. I dream about that time, and very occasionally I wonder if everyone is responsible for me.

"It's the truth, Priestess Alonda. Mr. Iries was braver than anyone else on that occasion, did not give up hope until the end, and fought. The result was the miracle."

"Yeah, well, that's when I thought miracles really happen."

"I was passed out, so I didn't actually see it."

"My tender maiden. The trusteeship is a fact. Iris performed a miracle on that occasion and stopped the dragon's breath root. It is this presence of me that will bear witness above all."

"Also, I'm sorry, Master Hadion. It was a serious statement in the clergy, such as questioning the divine commission."

Every time we talk about this, I get uncomfortable or muzzled.

"Well, I'm not the only one, am I? Mr. Rose and everyone helped us so we could fight. Alone, I don't think my legs were dull enough to do anything in the first place..."

And he also gave Alonda the explanation that he had repeated many times and again.

"And if Hadion... Saluena doesn't respond to my voice, I won't be here right now. No matter who's missing, that dragon couldn't be defeated."

Yes, when I explain desperately, I don't know if you passed it on correctly, but Mr. Alonda nodded to me small.

"Yeah, I get it. Heh heh, that Irie's got the dragon, huh? I'm kind of proud of you."

And so he leads us to the altar.

"Now let's begin the ritual of baptism"

At the stretched end of the red carpet, there is an altar there that gives you a sense of the year. With a giant stained glass on his back on the other side of it, Mr. Alonda stood to the altar. On the other hand, before us is a decorated silver cup placed on a marble pedestal.

"Be a watcher of the world, ruler of reason. You are my servant, Alonda Lisea, and you are my first servant. Let the new power come into your hands, and the brave ones."

When Mr. Alonda proclaimed his congratulations, the holy water filled with the silver cup began to shine white.

"I thought there was something odd going on, but what's going to start?"

Saluena, who is oblivious to modern common sense, came next to me and said so in a small voice.

"Eh. What starts now is a ritual of baptism, which is simply a ritual for measuring people's power."

"Oh, sure, you said it before, like the level."

"Yeah, that. When you dip your hands in that silver cup filled with holy water, you can measure the strength of the person."

Originally, they said this ritual was a means to thank and pray daily to the goddess, and to make a report. But since the power used at that time was pure life force, not magic, I found that anyone could offer prayer as long as the cleric offered an opportunity.

Then 100 years. The changes to holy water brought about by the life force used in prayer, and the total amount of individual power can now be measured to some extent from the remnants themselves, and the forefathers set this as their means of visualizing the power of the individual.

By the way, Mr. Rose told me that the life force you use to pray doesn't have to be a hand or a leg. I don't mind a single room of hair or anything, anyway, he said, as long as it forms part of his body. And funny...... maybe careless, but they don't have to be their own life force to pray. When measuring Goltmund's level, Mr. Rose said what a throw his missing horn into the silver cup.

"Well, that's convenient."

When he gave such an explanation, Saluena nodded as impressed.

"Yes, it's convenient. The rest is limited to the time of the first baptism, but the fairy may also appear as a goddess' use to show you the way not to get lost when you become a goddess' follower. I was just teaching you the profession that I had at that time."

"That's when... oh, no, I don't even have to ask"

"I'm sorry you didn't have any surprises. That's right, she's the daughter of a bookstore. In fact, I wonder if the bookmaster said to the fairy of that time"

I don't actually remember much about that time. Because it was a few years ago, and I was only a child, and most importantly, I was excited about my first baptismal ritual.

"Well, that's why it's convenient, and even when you grow up like this, you get rituals to measure strength and skill proficiency."

Especially the adventurers. They often have their levels measured in church. Because the higher the level, the better the rewards you get at work.

"Well, let's start with Atashi. Come on, Toslin. Lift your balls up a little bit."

"You're not that big of a thing. You're eating so much meat."

It's hard to get your hands on the silver cup at the height of the pedestal, Carol. With that said, Carol's only 14, so she's a kid, right? I wonder how long Warwolf will be growing up. Sure, like Toslin said, I've been watching this for the last six months, but it doesn't look like I'm growing tall.

"From now on. In a few more years, I'll have a big chest like Rosé. Look forward to it."

"... No, you can't. That's"

"Already... where are you both looking"

Mr. Rosé rushes out of both eyes to hide his chest. But it's Rosé's chest that I can't hide from you.

……

"That would also be a growing season. Don't worry. One of these days, like Rosa, you're gonna be a lady everyone envies."

Was your wish on your face? Saluena slapped me on the shoulder and said so.

"... do you really think so?"

There's quite a bit of saluena to say that, isn't there? So much so that I feel a lot of pressure standing alongside Mr. Rosé. Isn't that some kind of bluff the guy gave birth to? When she thought so and turned half her eyes, Saluena shrugged her shoulders.

"You're out of your mind to be suspected. I don't lie. Iris, that was still adorable enough, but a few years from now it will be more adorable and beautiful. I can assure you."

"No, even if it's guaranteed. It's not like Saluena decides how big my breasts are..."

Well, I'd love to be someone like Rosé if I could, but I can't be that feminine in four years, can I? That's the miracle, but I don't feel like getting closer to that realm.

"Ha... it's kind of getting empty"

I sighed deeply as I watched Carol lay her hands on the holy water.
