Chapter 67
06 The Dark God’s Faith
After we had breakfast, we jumped out of the city and walked down the street.
She was going to her destination with Liu, but unfortunately she is on an outing with Eleanor. It’s not that far, so sometimes it’s not bad to walk.
I’ve recently found out. Dating is the act of men and women walking side by side. So the current situation of walking alone is definitely a date.
But sorry. You can hear the voice that disturbs such a love event from your feet.
“The direction is perfect! It seems we can reach without hesitation.”
“It’s more than anything”
Remun, who hates walking even, hides in my shadow again.
A place where the religion of the dark god has revived. The directions and distances that Remun indicated indicated a rural area close to the town of Dorknes.
Really within walking distance. No way a mysterious emerging religion has been created so close …
I have arrived while thinking about such a thing.
In the spreading wheat field, there is a village with plenty.
Or was this village? I remember when I visited before. At that time, I was nervous that I was the mountain god and it was hard.
When he stops at the entrance of the village, Remun finally looks into his face from the shadow.
“Please come out quickly, right here?”
“I’m just right here in this village”
“For the time being?”
“You know, my religion seems to be flourishing in this area.”
“Are the darkness religions spreading beyond this village?”
That’s great. Did the mysterious new power secretly enlarge the power chart?
At first he tries to get into the village considering the situation of the inhabitants, but Remun walks alone in the wrong direction.
“Where are you going?”
“There’s a simple ritual here.”
There are even such things. Surprised, he looks at Patrick and follows him immediately.
I walked along the outer edge of the village just half a lap and moved to the mountain opposite the highway.
Set amidst the territory of Dorknes, this mountain is rarely accessible to humans. If you go deeper, there is a demonic area. It is a dangerous mountain where people who occasionally come out to human villages.
It’s the place I went to when I was a child.
“That’s it.”
At the tip of Remun’s finger was a stone shrine.
An elongated rock taller than Patrick’s back. It is carved and shaped and covered with a wooden shrine. The construction would have required a lot of work.
The children of the village were playing around the shrine. When they see me, they make a lot of noise.
“Wow! The mountain god!”
“No, Lord!”
“Wow, really black hair.”
Wow. Are you still called the mountain god?
When I was a child, I was leveling up in the mountains, and I was sometimes witnessed by the villagers, and I was recognized as a guardian defeating demons.
After he became lord, he would have gone around the villages and had misunderstood …
But just good. Children will not be able to hide. Ask about the shrine with ease in mind.
“Hey, everyone. Does this stone shrine fit at the shrine of the dark god?”
“Is it?”
“Isn’t it darkness, not mountains?”
“Well, but the mountain god uses the darkness to defeat monsters …”
Apparently they have no point. Oddly, as in Japanese, the pronunciation of mountains and darkness is similar in languages of this world. Is it confusing because of that?
Then Patrick says, who was approaching the shrine alone.
“It’s carved with a mountain god.”
that? So this isn’t Lemun’s shrine?
When he saw Lemun, he twisted his head deliberately and did not speak. This god has a subtle smell.
So I decided to hear more from the village children.
“Well then, is there any place other than here to worship God?”
“What is the festival …?”
“Ah … a place like this shrine that asks God”
“There is an altar for Sanon in the village mayor’s house.”
The child who looks the oldest answered me carefully.
Sanonism? Sanon, the god of light, is a major religion widely worshiped in this country. It is new to remember that the battle of the light and the battle that occurred in the church of the royal city took place.
“Anything else?”
“I don’t think …”
“Yes. Sorry, let me take the time.”
The children look strange and look at each other. He bowed to us and returned to the village.
Apparently, there is no really dark god religion. So what was Remun’s statement that the resurrection was resurrected?
“Can you explain what that means?”
“… maybe it is.”
When I look into Remun with a glare, he begins to speak shyly with Mojimoji.
“Maybe it’s like my faith in my sister has flowed to me.”
“What do you say …?”
“You see, mountains and darkness have a similar sentiment? And your sister controls dark magic. The people of this village worship the sister of the mountain god and at the same time worship the dark god of me It’s convinced that my strength comes through my sister, so I guess I misunderstood her as a shrine maiden. ”
what is that. Did the religion flow to Remun because they had similar words and had the common point of manipulating darkness?
It is a religious thief. The religion of my followers … No, I don’t need that. I can give it all to Remun.
“Yeah … what’s that guy?”
“Ahaha”
Let’s go home. After looking out for Patrick, I started walking quickly.
“I’m going home. Please walk on your own.”
“Wait a moment!”
I walked along the highway and left some distance from the village.
Time is noon. The sun is high in the southern sky. It is the time when the shadow is the smallest.
Lemun was walking behind us, complaining. As you approach the shadows, accelerate your walking pace and pull away.
“Is this okay?”
“Ah”
After getting Patrick’s consent, they will both turn north at the same time.
This is a wasteland. The stones are rolling and weeds are sparse. There are few “shadows” here.
“Well, where are you going off the road?”
When Remun asks a question, he and Patrick look back.
He is definitely lying. And both me and Patrick noticed that I came here.
“I wanted to tell you the truth”
“What’s that? I’m just talking to my sister.”
“Did you say that the religion of the dark gods has just revived?”
“……that’s right”
“But that religion was due to the mountain god … I mean. I defeated the demons and came to be called the mountain god more than a decade ago, and at the same time it would be hopeless that the religion of the dark gods would not come back right?”
“… yes, I was so cautious. So what’s the position?”
Exactly. We are on the north and Remun on the south. Since the shadow extends northward, there is little risk of being used by Remun.
His only ability at the moment is to get in and out of the shadows. I couldn’t be careful because I might have something else hidden.
Remun laughs with ease.
“Don’t look with such a scary face. It’s not so convenient to get in and out of the shadows. You can only get out of the shadows you enter and there are quite a few restrictions.”
“That’s a lie.”
Patrick continues to assert that he is a lie.
“When Miss Eleanor came, Remun would have jumped into my shadow, but the next one was Yumiera’s shadow.”
“I’m going to be careful, but I was skeptical from the beginning. Did your sister come up with a level-up story to act out to hear the story?”
“……That’s right”
When I nodded, she stared at her sideways, not to lie to Patrick.
“You attacked me with dark magic, and you were exploring what works.”
“……That’s right”
“I was kicked right away to see if the physical attack worked?”
“… I understand well.”
You can see Patrick in the eyes of this guy, but don’t worry.
In such a case, it is important to be mentally superior. In fact, it was conditional reflection that kicked Remun, instinct to talk about raising the level, and lost himself when attacking with dark magic.
“That’s what I told that maid to listen to me.”
“Oh, that’s really true.”
At that time I was skeptical, but I told Rita that it was correct. This self-proclaimed god boy is too suspicious.
Physical attack is effective, dark magic is invalid, and attribute magic other than dark is unknown. It is possible that you still have some hidden abilities.
Even before we are ready for war, Remun is still smiling. No, the smile was a bit stiff. He has that attitude, but he may be full.
That’s why you shouldn’t be careless.
A few seconds between silence.
Remun raises his hands in a slow motion.
“I’m surrendering. I can’t beat my sister and brother. I’ll tell you the truth.”
“What is the proof that the story is true?”
“That’s … oh, if you asked her? It looks like she just came.”
Remun said, pointing to an empty space on the left side of our view.
The change happened when I tried to say I was distracted.
Dazzling light overflows from nowhere.
Looking at the hot white light, I somehow associated with the sun.
“What !?”
I covered my eyes unintentionally with so much glare. Perhaps Patrick is in the same situation.
The light went out in a few seconds.
The first thing I checked was Remun. He did not escape, but stayed where he was.
And where the light was generated. There was a girl there. Looks the same age as me.
White hair, golden eyes. She wore a divine atmosphere in a simple white dress.
The white hair that extended to the waist reflected the light of the sun and glowed. The bangs are split in the middle and the wide forehead is exposed.
Slowly look around with me, Patrick and Remun and open his mouth.
“I’m Sanon, the god of light. Yumiera Dorknes eliminates you.”
His beautiful eyes looked straight at me.
