Let’s ignore it.
“Huh…? What is it? Why aren’t you answering? Wh-what did you do to the god?!”
“……”
“That guy… how can he ignore me?”
“What’s with that calmness in this situation?”
“Hey… quickly investigate that homeless person… G-class gift, and its details too.”
“…… Could it be that he was certain about that face? That he doesn’t care about the punishment from the god at all?”
Ah, that.
The commotion around me just won’t stop.
“What… what the hell are you!? You dare to block the punishment of the god, ignore his voice, and drive the god away? Homeless! You…”
The old man is shouting hysterically.
Heh, this is my strong suit. Time for some communication.
The strength of humans lies in their relationships through communication.
I smile brightly.
A smile is the strongest method of communication!
“………..”
“Hii…”
“He smiled…!?”
“How can he be smiling right now…?”
“S-Snow, is that really the same class as you…?”
“Y-Yes… that should be it, Kasuya-kun, right…?”
Whoa, Snow-san is talking to me.
Hmm… if I talk to her now, it might cause trouble…
She’s a really good person who came all this way for a mob like me…
I don’t want to drag her into this.
“………..”
“W-Why won’t you answer me…? Is it… because I’m useless…?”
Hmm, the atmosphere in the chapel is terrible.
If I had to say whose fault it is, it’s probably this old man’s.
“Answer me!! Homeless!! Who are you?! What’s your aim?! That face, that laugh… are you an enemy of the Maris Church!?”
“……”
“Answer me! N-no, it’s fine… i-it’s impossible for the will of the god to forgive you, so this body shall…! I, personally, will bring you death!!”
Magic power gathers around the old man.
Hmm, it’s below Grellod’s level but has a decent density.
If I use my gift, it might inspire some nice magic techniques.
I’m curious about the magic the church uses…
Oh, shoot, I can’t help but smile.
Smiling is important.
“Stop that laugh oooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!”
“W-Wait! P-Please run away! Kasuya-kun!!”
“Snow!?”
The old man raises his sword.
Snow-san runs in between us.
Oh no, this is bad. Snow-san is going to die.
Hmm, but if I protect her, it would look obviously strange.
Ah, I got it.
Skill: Magical Power Transfer, Activate
“Huh?”
“What?”
Clang, crack!
The magical sword that hit Snow-san’s head breaks.
Is it because I’m constantly giving magical power as a reward for work to White and the others?
I’ve gotten better at enhancing others’ magical power.
“E-Why…?”
“I’m… alive…”
“Snow!”
The handsome guy swiftly carries Snow-san away.
Nice move.
Well, it’s fine.
“…… Did you do something just now?”
This old man has a good intuition.
Not a bad observation skill.
But I’m starting to get a bit bored.
All eyes in the chapel are on me.
I can’t pull off any more villainous moves than this.
Ah, but that strange arm magic was interesting.
God, huh?
Speaking of which, I used to talk about gods with White and the others back in the day.
“You… what are you looking at…? You can’t possibly be looking at the god’s…”
“…… It’s nostalgic.”
White and the others used to listen to me, but recently they’ve become kind of scary.
I guess as you grow, everyone loses their innocence.
Yeah, yeah, that’s what becoming an adult is all about.
“!!!!!!!! Nostalgic, you say? You can’t be… do you know… No, that’s impossible!!! C-Could it be that you… really inherited the rights from Grellod…?”
It’s about the field!!
That’s right, I forgot. I should have received that field as Castani, not as Curse!
“…… The rights are mine.”
For the field!
“!! No way, from the very beginning, from the very start!! God! H-Here! The person you’ve been looking for is here――!!!”
The old man, who has collapsed, stops his words.
This guy… knew about the field up to this point…
――I might have been wrong.
Hiding my identity as a Curse and all that.
Heh, I’ll stop the smart moves now.
It seems that my mastermind has come this far.
I was about to take out the old man mask from my pocket――.
“Maris Church, you should report to the god more carefully.”
“That’s right. Priest, you should be more careful with the next line…”
A voice was heard.
A familiar voice.
The great doors of the chapel have opened without me noticing.
“Ah!”
Huh, why are they here?
It’s White and Scarlet.
In armor and robes.
In the form of adventurers and mages.
