Episode. 16 Moritz has a lump (2)
In conclusion, it was a misunderstanding.
Like Moritz having a crush on me or something disgusting.
If there is a problem, is it that the misunderstanding has been resolved only after the fans have already beaten it up with excitement?
“Explain. Why did you follow me, and why did you want to go to the battlefield as well?”
“Ugh… … .”
Moritz, who was squirming on the floor, glared at me.
However, it felt different from the way those eyes were always directed at me.
“light… … .”
“what?”
“I shine from you. Seeing that makes me feel a little better.”
I glanced down at my body.
As he said, a soft light was emanating from my body. It wasn’t that the skin was shiny, but that the body had a divine nature due to the effect of the Sacred Bone.
“So you were following me?”
“joy! It’s your fault for not noticing.”
“Look at this?”
It was when I lifted my foot up to a guy who practiced the red ban while he was naked.
“Chwiik! that stop it It couldn’t have been this much!”
“You go away. You traitor! They said it was a secret between men!”
“Brother… … !”
The rapture that had stopped me turned sullen at Moritz’s resentful gaze and withdrew.
While holding back a sigh at the absurd situation, Moritz spoke to me.
“Anyway, I also got permission from the family head. I will go to the battlefield with you.”
“There will be much more demonic energy than here. If you’re going to pee, don’t follow me.”
Moritz was the one who was frightened by the demons scattered all over the continent.
On such a subject, would he be able to wield a sword on the battlefield where the undead would fight?
“I also have Battenberg blood. Don’t underestimate me!”
“It’s not that I’m belittling it, it’s the reality. It looks like you haven’t slept well in a while.”
Like all of Battenga’s vassals, his eyes widened.
In the end, Moritz’s mental strength was lower than that of other knights, meaning that it was no different from the level of an ordinary person.
“You’re not going to stick behind me on the battlefield, are you?”
That’s a specification. I don’t know why the head of household allowed it, but there was no reason to wear an unreliable hump.
“Just stay home.”
“Richard!”
Bang, Moritz hit the floor. Then, after a while, he opened his mouth.
“It really annoys me to be ignored by you! Even the knights laugh!”
The guy looking at me with a distorted face didn’t look angry, he just looked like his pride was hurt.
“But, more than anything else, what I’m angry about is the way I look now! I must be different!”
It was Shimma who drove him to the cliff.
The cost of facing the great darkness of being the Demon King.
Moritz said he would roll over the battlefield in order to get rid of that mentality.
“I’m not asking for your permission, I’m giving a notice!”
“okay. then.”
“… … what?”
“Go or not, do as you please.”
Is it because I easily change my attitude?
Moritz looked at me with bewildered eyes.
‘Come to think of it, this is a good opportunity.’
He’s relying on my light, that is, my divinity.
The opportunity to make one of Battenberg’s brothers a believer was rare.
“However, if something happens to step on my back or catch my ankle one more time, I will throw it away without mercy.”
“Ah, I see.”
I smiled at my brother who nodded hard.
I never thought that the vicious Moritz would become a docile sheep.

『One sword star (劍星) – activated.』
Quagga-!
A sword of light appeared in the air. A sword star that can be manipulated at will and can be held and wielded by hand.
“Wow, wow… … .”
I was in the middle of training in my private gymnasium, and I heard exclamations from the side.
It was the sound made by Moritz, who was looking this way with a stupid expression on his face.
“If you are not going to practice, go.”
It’s been a week since I threatened to throw you away if you followed me one more time.
Moritz openly started following me around.
They sneakily step into my personal gymnasium, but I was afraid to kick them out, but I decided to just ignore them.
However, he never accepted him as a colleague.
‘Wouldn’t he know if he changed his mind again?’
The reason why he follows me is probably because he is weak to the strong and strong to the weak.
It was time to focus on training while holding back those strangely intrusive gazes.
A knight came to the gymnasium.
“Brother Richard. The knights who were commanded have returned together with the inhabitants of Snowfall!”
“oh!”
Believers and devotees have finally arrived.
“Where are the residents?”
“I am waiting in the drawing room.”
I left Aaron and Moritz in the arena and immediately moved on.
It was embarrassing because my whole body was soaked in sweat, but I had to finish my work first.
‘How many believers will there be?’
Snowfall has a total of 31 inhabitants.
Ten of them were believers, and the rest were believers.
Considering the sincerity of the believers who had prayed steadily, all of them would have been able to become believers.
“Meet the young Richard.”
When we arrived in front of the drawing room, the five knights standing there bowed their heads.
“okay. It was a lot of work. But why are you standing here?”
“I wanted to say hello to Master Richard!”
“Hello!”
It must have been a lot of demon energy on the way back from Snowfall.
The eyes of the knights were hot, as if they were thinking of healing by looking at me.
Tok, tok-
It was burdensome, so I tapped them on the shoulder with 50 faith each.
“omg! It feels like being purified!”
“Then, go now.”
“insect!”
Only then did the uninvited guests disappear. I approached the door to enter the drawing room.
But beyond the door was very noisy. As I gently put my ear to it, I heard a voice.
“Evil has arrived in the sky, and the seeds of darkness have taken root everywhere!”
“Ahh! Despair!”
As if giving a speech, the excited voice of Mary and the residents sighed in groups.
The noise didn’t end there.
“But those who have faith in their hearts have nothing to worry about!”
“Ooh!”
“We will shout. Horsi! Holy saint!”
“Horse! Holy saint!”
It was hard to hear in my mind.
This isn’t some kind of pseudo.
Knock-!
“Believe! Believe it… … .”
When I opened the door and entered, a spectacle unfolded.
Residents enthusiastically respond to Mary shaking Battenberg’s collar.
It was truly a scene of madness.
“What… … Stand, saint?”
They were in full heat and looked back at me.
“hi.”
Is it because my appearance has changed a lot?
Silence fell in the drawing room.
one. two. three.
“Uhhh! I am a saint!”
Exactly 3 seconds later. Mary, who had been giving a speech like an independence fighter, burst into tears and took me into my arms, and the residents howled and shouted horr.
‘ah… … It’s crazy.’
I wonder if I called these guys for nothing.
◈ ◈ ◈
“Our saint! You are our light!”
“As expected, he is a saint! A halo all over the body… … !”
“Oh, little! Please be quiet!”
It took a long time before an environment where we could talk was created.
Time was delayed even more as the residents burst into tears when they saw the light I emitted.
“First of all, Mary, you have worked really hard.”
“Huh! no. You did what you had to do.”
Mary waved her hands and trembled in humility, but her credit was indescribably great.
The reason why all the villagers prayed every single day was because of Mary’s diligent missionary work.
If it wasn’t for her, half of them would have fallen out of prayer without a promise.
“Hmm.”
I looked at each of the faces of the residents.
‘It’s not in a good state.’
A slender face and sunken eyes.
He was no different from other people.
If there is one difference, the more the fear grows, the more the residents fall into Horgyo.
That’s almost to the point of dependence.
“Your prayers have been a great strength to God. thanks.”
“Oh oh! Is that true!”
“Shh. A lot to do. Listen quietly.”
After restraining the crowd from becoming noisy again, I opened my mouth.
“God is thrilled with your faith and wants to repay you. Stand in line, starting with the believers.”
The prize was nothing. All you have to do is hold the prepared pebbles one by one.
“ruler. It is a holy stone.”
“Stand, holy stone!”
The village chief Roman, who received the pebble, blushed. In fact, it was just a grandiose name, a stone made by infusing a little faith into an ordinary cobblestone.
“Always have it with you. May God’s protection be with you.”
“Even if I die, I will be buried with you!”
However, the innocent people were thrilled to shed tears. I felt remorse for selling drugs, but I couldn’t help it.
In the future, the number of followers will increase, but it is impossible to give a generous reward.
“ruler. Did you get all the awards?”
“That’s right!”
Then it was the turn of the Shinto ceremony.
“Believers! Are you ready to become a believer this time?”
“yes! We prayed just as hard as the believers!”
21 believers radiated confidence.
Wasn’t that a bluff?
『Maria became a believer.』
『Jin has become a believer.』
『Fria is a follower… … .』
“oh! Congratulations everyone.”
All 21 people became believers.
It was even more strange not to see their devout attitude.
From noble mtl dot com
“Horse! Holy saint!”
“stop. There is still something left to do.”
Now it was time to get to the point.
I sat everyone down and opened my mouth.
“I called you in because I needed help.”
“Say anything!”
“Right now, numerous knights are fighting against the darkness. On the battlefield, where disgusting demons sway and dead comrades are resurrected in horrific forms.”
where the darkness is thickest.
Also, a place where I and my followers can shine the brightest.
The battlefield we were going to was just such a place.
“God waited for the time to arise. with your prophet.”
“That, that word… … ?”
“Let’s go to the battlefield and spread the greatness of God.”
“… … .”
The believers were speechless. Everyone just opened their eyes wide.
After all, it’s hard to pamper yourself without paying.
I felt like I had to come up with something appetizing in return.
“I will give a big return to the prophet who goes to the battlefield with me… … .”
“Is that true?”
Scared to do that, Mary asked me. It seemed that the reward of blinking eyes was very coveted.
“okay. A total of ten Holy Stones… … .”
“No, that’s not it! Does God really consider us prophets? Did you really wait for the time to happen with us?”
“Well, of course not. Why?”
It was when I asked again because I didn’t understand Mary’s reaction.
“Wow!”
Suddenly, the believers shouted. Tears started flowing again from the eyes that were already swollen from crying.
“What, what is it? Why are you crying?”
It was a flow of emotions that I couldn’t possibly follow.
“A revelation from God has come! For the prophets stand tall on the battlefield!”
“It stands tall!”
“Give faith to the unbelievers! Let us do our duty as prophets!”
“Let it be done!”
cried Merry, frantically waving the Battenberg flag.
The appearance of her with a band of blood around her neck was completely different from the Mary I knew.
“under… … What have you been doing all this time?”
I touched my forehead.
It’s obviously my followers who are wreaking havoc right in front of me, but why does it look like a group of fanatics?
