Chapter 28
Ti flew by quickly as I rested for a few nights. But I didn't just rest all the ti, I also visited the temple occasionally to check on the situation.
I looked around the forr Rizes Church chapel, which was now the Kyros Faith temple.
The temple was not very large, but it was big enough to be a small mansion.
The space that was used as an underground prison during the Rizes Church period was converted into a warehouse.
Other than that, there was not much difference except that the interior design was brighter.
I walked slowly around the temple garden.
-The angel's skill is amazing!
Kyros exclaid as he saw the statues decorating the garden. The statues all over the garden were made by Sasha's power.
Sasha went straight to the temple after she was born from the first gacha ticket, and carried out the order I gave her.
She showed her remarkable talent by creating paintings and statues of Kyros, and they were a huge hit. The paintings were like photographs, and especially the statues seed alive.
The statues in various places in the garden were shaped like animals and angels. Sasha said she made them as a warm-up before sculpting Kyros' statue, but they gave off a holy vibe, so I decided to use them as ornants.
After looking around the garden, I headed to the prayer room.
When I opened the large wooden door that was closest to the temple entrance, I saw the prayer room.
It was a spacious area that was used as a worship hall by the previous Rizes Church, but it was now used as a prayer room by the Kyros Faith.
'I don't have any plans for worship yet.'
For the ti being, I let the believers pray voluntarily, and planned to do it later when more Kyros Faith believers joined.
And in the prayer room, there was a statue that Sasha was working on with all her might.
At the end of the spacious prayer room that could accommodate about 100 believers, behind the podium.
Sasha was making a full-body statue of Kyros there. She said it was the sa size as when Kairos manifested himself, which ant...
"Wow..."
I couldn't help but open my mouth in awe.
It looked like she had copied the real Kyros that I t once.
-How is it? Am I better or is the statue better?
Did he expect
to answer that? Damn.
'Kyros is better, of course.'
-Of course? But, our angel made a very similar statue to .
My answer seed to please Kairos very much.
Bang! Bang!
anwhile, the statue work was not finished yet. The sound of hamr and chisel hitting each other from sowhere in the middle of the statue. Sasha climbed up a ladder and carved Kyros' fingers.
The child's carving skill was really delicate. Kyros' fingers felt like they could move at any mont.
'If she just paints so color on it, it would look like Kyros really manifested himself.'
By the way, Kyros was really handso.
I sighed softly and looked at Sasha who was absorbed in her work with a smile.
"Sasha, can I help you with anything? I can move heavy things for you anyti."
"...No."
What I learned about Sasha so far was that she was a quiet and slow-talking child, but a kind one.
I praised Sasha and went back to the garden.
Now all that was left was...
'Maybe so garden interior.'
It looked okay because of Sasha's statues, but I wanted to take care of the temple more.
'It would be nice if there was a fountain.'
I decided to do it later when more believers joined.
"Master!"
As I walked slowly around the garden, I heard a familiar voice. It was Cyril, who ran out of the building.
"You are here?"
Oh, Cyril told his parents that he wanted to be a priest of Kyros Faith a few days ago. Fortunately, his parents agreed happily.
"Brother Cyril, how have you been?"
"Yes! I'm going to start training with Alphius tomorrow!"
"Really? Good luck."
Cyril bowed his head and greeted
before leaving the temple.
Actually, I wanted to give Cyril the position of priest right away. But Alphius, who was the high priest, objected.
'No way, Master! Brother Cyril needs to learn the rules of being a priest. How about you appoint him after he receives so training from
for a certain period of ti?'
It sounded reasonable so I agreed. Then Alphius, who got a subordinate, was very happy.
"Haaat!"
A boyish shout ca from the corner of the garden. It was Chester.
After returning from the Cartel Forest, Chester devoted himself to training. I was glad that he seed to have recovered his energy, but...
'An S-grade is training too.'
At this rate, Chester might beco an SS-grade later.
By the way, Alphius and Chester beca friends quickly when Sasha, the new agent, ca. Although Sasha was not talkative, Alphius talked a lot and Chester answered well, so they balanced each other well.
[Master.]
As I was thinking about the children with a smile, I heard a familiar voice in my head.
It was a communication from Zain.
[I have prepared the items you ordered at the store.]
He prepared them just in ti.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Finally, tomorrow, the temple will open.
The sun was above their heads. The residents of Rovel gathered in front of the yet-to-open Kyros Faith temple door with high expectations.
They had been waiting for this day ever since Kyros Faith appeared in Rovel.
The long-awaited day finally beca a reality, and the streets of Rovel were like a festival.
The rchants offered discounts on food and drinks to the Kyros Faith believers, and those who bought cheap drinks praised Kyros.
"For Kyros!"
Rovel was a place that was shunned by Elyn citizens as a 'slum', but the atmosphere brightened up after Kyros Faith ca in.
As Elyn citizens occasionally ca in, so of them naturally beca Kyros Faith believers.
And today, the mood in Rovel was several tis more lively than usual, so more Elyn citizens flocked in.
"Ah, how beautiful will the temple be!"
"It will be as beautiful as the Leader!"
"I want to pray to Kyros first!"
" too!"
There was no worship or anything like that in Kyros Faith. Instead, there was a prayer room that anyone who was a Kyros Faith believer could visit anyti.
It was the news that the Kyros Faith's Leader, himself, announced to the people, so most of the believers planned to go to the prayer room right away.
"Hey, should we go in too?"
"But we're not believers."
"So what? They said everyone is welco."
Following the Rovel citizens, even the Elyn citizens who ca just to see also lined up in front of the temple.
As the people's mood rose,
Creak---
The wooden door of the temple entrance which was tightly closed slowly began to open.
"Ooh! It's opening!"
As the wooden door opened to both sides, they saw who was opening it.
Two boys with the sa face and small stature.
The two boys, Alphius and Chester, smiled brightly as they saw the crowd gathered in front of the temple.
And then there was one being standing in the middle.
"Welco, everyone."
The Kyros Faith's Leader, wearing a white uniform, greeted the believers with a kind face and open arms.
"Leader...!"
"Wow, it's the leader!"
The people cheered as they saw the Kyros Faith's Leader. Then, they beca silent as if the leader would say sothing more. The believers looked at the leader with expectant eyes, but for so reason, the leader just smiled.
Then, Alphius, who had finished fixing the wooden door, quickly approached and poked the leader's side so fast that the believers couldn't see it.
Only then did the leader open his mouth. With an awkward smile,
"Ah, as I told you, our Kyros Faith temple is always open to you. Please, feel free to visit anyti."
Alphius glared at the leader for a very short mont, who was making an awkward greeting, and then smiled at the believers and said,
"Well then, co in one by one!"
"Please line up for your safety!"
Alphius and Chester started to move people into the temple.
The crowd, including the believers, moved in an orderly manner.
There was not a single person who ignored the two boys and left the group because they were young.
Most of the Kyros Faith believers had received their help when a crack occurred in Rovel.
Watching them, Revelof, no, Zain sighed deeply. And whispered,
"I did as you said, Master."
[How are the believers' reactions?]
Then, Revelof's voice continued in his ear. Zain smiled at the believers and even waved his hand, then continued the communication using ventriloquism.
"How? They all love it."
[Phew, thank goodness.]
"But Master, your breathing sounds rough."
[Phew, damn.]
That was the end of the communication. It couldn't be helped.
At the sa ti.
"Co on, one last lap!"
"You said it was the last one before!"
"This ti, it's really the last one!"
'Real' Revelof was being pushed around by Fanatic.
I returned to my room at sunset and threw myself on the sofa.
"Hoo, ha."
I'm exhausted. Fanatic bastard.
-The temple has been open for a few hours but the believers' footsteps are not stopping!
Unlike
who collapsed from exhaustion, Kyros was excited like a big puppy all day long.
'Oh, really?'
Kyros was connected to the children as well, so he watched over the temple through their eyes.
-Yes! Not only Rovel's believers but also Cartel Village's believers ca!
Wow, really. It must have been hard for them to co here.
I smiled slightly. I felt like dying from being pushed around by Fanatic all day long, but I was able to check on the believers' reactions through Kyros and Zain from ti to ti.
The temple was small compared to other temples but the believers were very satisfied.
'Especially Sasha's skill...'
So of them even cried when they saw Sasha's paintings and statues of Kyros.
And those who just ca to see were also srized and beca believers.
Thanks to that, the number of believers in Religion Status jumped to almost 350.
'Well, I wanted to go see it myself.'
But what can I do? It was lucky that Zain made things easier for .
If I tell you how Zain ca to imitate , I have to recall yesterday's event.
A day before, Revelof went straight to Zain's store after receiving a call from him.
He had already paid Zain money, so he just had to pick them up.
As he entered the underground store, Zain greeted him with various bundles.
"Welco, custor!"
Zain smiled cheerfully and Revelof's eyebrow twitched.
"Really?"
"Hey, I'm still a rchant here."
Zain's words made Revelof not answer. He just curled his lips. But his eyes were not smiling. Seeing that, Zain finally gave a proper answer.
"I'm sorry, Master."
"That's okay. These are them?"
Revelof asked and Zain nodded his head.
Revelof imdiately checked the various bundles. Then his lips rose in satisfaction.
"You're good at your job, as expected of my subordinate."
But then, Zain's lips pouted.
