The Demon King's Daughter is the World's Strongest but a Shut-In! ~Shut Herself in an Aban

38 Inquisitor of heresy

There are various gods in this world.

Some gods are watching the earth from the heavenly world, while others are born on earth and do not know the heavenly world.

And it is the 'Divine Archdiocese' that calls itself the main mountain of faith in those gods.

It's a group that records, believes, and codifies myths about gods all over the world.

If a new God is discovered, the Divine Will Archdiocese will investigate it.

You may be certified as a god, but you may also be certified as an evil god, in which case an evil god killing is dispatched.

In fact, there is an evil God who hates the world.

Anyway, God is what transforms people's faith into power.

As consideration for the faith heart, hear the wish and fulfill it to the extent that the power extends.

Then God, who believed in the wicked, will come to fulfill his wicked wishes.

Purify before the evil gods give strength. If you can't do that, seal it, or kill it.

Otherwise, the world could perish.

And now, a heretical inquisitor belonging to the Archdiocese of Divine Will was on his way to Baron Silverlight's territory.

That land, not long ago, was just a wilderness.

That said the grass trees grew, beautiful lakes emerged and villages were created again.

What made it happen was the work of a goddess named Iris Crisis.

But according to the records of the Divine Archdiocese, it was a goddess named Muriel who was believed in that land.

Who is Iris Crisis?

We need to investigate that.

If he was an evil god, then he must do the right thing.

With such determination, the name of the heretic inquisitor walking down a snowy path is Katie Astley.

I'm only fifteen. She was a girl with glasses and a rookie only six months after becoming a heretical inquisitor.

Even though I am new, I am entrusted with the investigation by myself.

Katie had the pride that she was good at it.

So even in the cold, you walk without making a weak noise.

"It's cold..."

The weak noise has leaked, but no one has heard it, so it is safe.

But even when we get to Baron Silverlight's territory, we have trouble leaking the truth, so we have to take action now.

So Katie tries to generate flames with witchcraft.

"Giga inferno flame!"

Katie screams backwards and uses witchcraft with all her magic powers.

but Katie's magic is so weak that she didn't even produce fire powder.

Squeezing all your strength only produces heat to such an extent that your body pops.

That's just fine for this cold weather.

"I'm never weak. It's just not really suitable for combat. It's the right material!

And, squeaking and arousing herself, Katie keeps walking.

Finally, he arrived in Baron Silverlight territory.

In the village the children were fighting snowball vigorously and making snowmen.

The adults can't farm because it's winter, and they seem to be sipping beer or gobbling at home watching the kids.

At such a village entrance, Katie included a whistle hanging from her neck in her mouth, ringing as loudly as she wished.

Surprised by the sound, the villagers draw Katie's attention to "what the hell".

"I'm Katie Astley, Divine Intent Archdiocese, heretical Inquisitor! I'm here to investigate the patron saint of this village! Please help!

Some heretical inquisitors use the glory of the Divine Archdiocese as a shield against the local inhabitants.

but the Divine Archdiocese is only an organization that compiles the records of the gods and guides them in the right way of faith.

Never the earthly proxy of the Creator.

So unless you're clear that the other person is a heretic, Katie thinks you should treat him in good faith.

"The heretic inquisitor? Uh, I'm Lord Baron Cheryl Silverlight. Why is there a heretical interrogator in such a small village...? I don't remember doing anything particularly suspicious?

From among the villagers, a young woman with blonde hair appeared.

Eighteen, according to materials examined in advance.

I'm just three years older than Katie.

"This, Baron. I'm not suspicious of anything. However, according to the records of the Divine Archdiocese, the patron saint believed in this land should be a goddess named Muriel. But now you believe in a goddess named Iris Crisis?"

"Yeah, well. Well researched....................."

"Because that is the work of the Divine Majesty!

Saying so, Katie strained her chest.

Nevertheless, it was easy to find out about this village.

First, it stands out at a time when the land, which has been wilderness for two hundred years, has suddenly become lush.

The name of the once faithful God comes out if you flip through the library.

And Iris Crisis's name is Cheryl, who was aggressive in saying, "Our patron saint is amazing!" I proudly go around, so I don't like it, but I go into the ears of the Divine Will Archdiocese.

"Here, do it with the heretic inquisitor. Do not speak of the concubine like a patron saint of the past. The concubine is still well believed. Iris is somewhat of an omelet. The concubine is the god of the Church!

Next to Cheryl, a peach-haired girl stood. The age would be the same as Katie's or a little under. It seemed oddly great.

"…… What about you?

"My concubine is Muriel. I've been the patron saint of this land for 300 years."

"What are you talking about? There's no way the patron saint is playing with the snow mixed up with the kids...... is that it? There's a sign of God!

Even in New America, Katie is an excellent heretic inquisitor.

I can do enough to feel the signs of God.

"That's a good thing you're the patron saint."

"Ko, I'm sorry for this! I didn't know it was Master Muriel...... but then the goddess named Iris......?

"Iris should be napping in church with his sister. You want to see him?

Sister?

I didn't hear you say that, and Katie leans her head.

"My sister is…………"

"Iris's sister, Eclipse. I mean, this village has three patron saints."

"Such an idiot! Whatever the big town is, why are you in such a small country village...... Ah, excuse me!

"Hmm! It's small and rural anyway."

Cheryl, the lord, swells his cheeks and makes an angry face.

But that was all.

No matter how aristocratic, there would be no one who would work violence against those who bore the sign of the Divine Archdiocese, but that was nonetheless a not-so-surprising silence to be knocked out.

Yet you just need to inflate your cheeks. A baron named Cheryl seems to have a very forgiving personality.

Or maybe I just haven't thought about it. Somehow, he looks like that.

"No, you know, being small is a story compared to a big city... and this village hasn't been around for a year since the beginning of exploration. Considering that, very splendid. It is proof that His Excellency the Baron has excellent instruction. I'm impressed."

"Oh, really? Heh heh, I'm good at flattery, so I'm done."

Cheryl quickly got in a good mood.

It's a very simple mental structure.

But Katie said it herself and realized that this village had certainly become this big in less than a year.

Then isn't it true that Cheryl is an excellent lord?

Katie secretly reviewed Cheryl.

Nevertheless, there are too many patron saints against the size of the village.

If there is no faith in God, he will normally lose his power.

Extreme examples make it impossible to even keep your figure.

Regardless, it is possible for a single human to pray to more than one God, but enthusiasm will diminish.

Therefore, it was normal for a land with multiple patron saints to have a town that was quite large.

The population of this village, no matter how estimated, is less than a hundred.

I believe in three patron saints in their numbers...... dubious.

"Yeah, I have a question. Originally, Master Muriel was the only patron saint, wasn't he? Since when the hell did Master Iris and Master Eclipse show up?

"Um, since when...? When I came to this land, Master Iris had already lived in the church. Was Lady Eclipse last month? I came here after Iris."

"Coming? Which means that the faith of the people in the village did not" occur, but came from somewhere else. "

"That's what I mean."

"I see...... by the way, do you know where it came from?

"Eh, I feel like I heard it before, but I forgot. Shouldn't you just ask me the details in person? It's amazing, Master Iris. It was the wilderness that made this land green, even the lake, and revived Muriel even more!

"That's right. I just have to thank Iris for that."

"Is it a resurrection? Tell me more about the area"

"Okay, I'll tell you what."

Muriel explained it to me well.

Katie also knows the backdrop to her sudden loss of power two hundred years ago and the loss of people from this land. It was firmly on the record of the Divine Archdiocese.

But it was Katie's first ear that the Iris mysterious goddess had appeared and revived the land and Muriel.

Naturally.

This Baron Silverlight territory was a forgotten land.

There can't be a recent record or anything.

That's why Katie came to investigate.

"And he's adorable! Eclipse is equally adorable!

"Oh, I see… but make sure to meet Iris and his sister Iclipse."

I don't care if it's adorable or not, I'm concerned about the power of turning the wilderness into a green space and reviving Muriel even more.

It shouldn't be most of the gods.

Maybe he's really an evil god.

Horribly, evil wishes easily make God stronger.

The people in this village seem good... but I can't be alarmed.
