Chapter 40
Translator – Zimming, Editor – Sasha
“You can’t just go anywhere all alone. You don’t know how worried I was.”
Lea while looking pale with worry, grabbed by my shoulders and warned several tis.
I didn’t an to, it was a bit unfair, but I nodded and replied obediently,
“I’m sowwy.”
“Never, never, be alone in the church, alright?”
“Yes!”
“Okay, then let’s go in.”
Lea opened the door of the carriage.
People with hooded robes lined up in front of the church to greet us. A young man with the sa robe ca up to .
“Nice to et you, little miss. My na is Urso, I’m responsible for the third church in the northwest.”
“Hello.”
“You must have had a hard ti riding the carriage until sunset. You can rest today, and tomorrow when the person from the central church arrives, we will check your divine power.”
“Yes.”
Fortunately, I don’t think I’m going to check it today.
‘Before that, I have to be prepared to make so kind of mistake in the test.’
In view of what happened in the castle not long ago, my divine power is at least similar to that of a priest under the direct control of the Pope.
‘If this gets known, they’ll try to take away.’
But it’s already known to many people because of the incident, and I can’t pretend to be a beggar like before.
So I had to look as normal as possible. It’s a good thing that my divine power has increased.
‘The question is how to make errors in the test.’
Suddenly, Urso said,
“Let’s go. We have prepared a al.”
Urso walked ahead and guided .
The rest of the people from Dubbled, who were accompanying , looked around the inside of the church with a small exclamation. For a first-tir, it really was a wonder.
Ordinary people could enter the chapel built outside but the access for people to co and see the church inside was strictly limited. It was because those who did not have any divine power were not allowed to enter.
‘Oh, it’s been a long ti since I last ca to this church.’
It felt very familiar as I had almost ca to live here in my second life.
The people from Dubbled were excited and whispered to each other.
“What do you eat in the church?”
“I don’t know, but we’ll have sothing great.”
“We can eat, right?”
“I’m sure because the teaching of the church is not to discriminate by rank.”
I looked at them with a pitiful look.
‘I don’t think so…’
As expected, their expectations broke down as soon as they entered the dining room.
The at and fish were full of bad sll.
‘I knew it.’
The church avoids killing.
’Do not eat what is bought, but eat what is naturally dead’ was the way they ate.
Therefore, one shouldn’t expect delicious food because the quality of the ingredients are the lowest.
“Co, have a seat.”
Urso sat in the chair as I sat next to him.
“Before we began eating, let us all give a short thanks to God for allowing us to eat.”
Soon, all of us started to eat.
“Urgh…”
The faces of the Dubbled’s servants, who tasted the food, turned pale.
‘I know, it’s not tasty.’
The reason why the servants felt so disgusted by the food provided by the church was that the duke was full of money and was generous with his employee’s als.
I had beco so comfortable with the als provided there that I wondered if I could even eat the als here after such a long ti.
With a worried face, I scooped up the fish soup with a spoon and delivered it to my mouth.
‘Huh?’
It’s surprisingly good enough.
I was hungry and the food was pretty decent, so I finished a whole bowl of soup.
“You seem to like it. I’m glad.”
Urso grinned.

On a particularly dark night.
Lea, who saw asleep, left the room with an empty glass of water.
As soon as I heard the sound of the door close, I opened my eyes.
[Are you going out? Didn’t you promise not to be alone?]
‘Now is the only ti I can get the goddess’s tears for you.’
If Boone didn’t grant a wish, then he won’t go away. He would continue to suck out my divine power, and eventually I’ll beco a lunatic.
[Child…]
Boone called sadly.
‘I’m sure there are a lot of people who want your power!’
[Yes! Those who miss their dead parents, lovers, friends, and children try so hard to awake !]
‘But, I don’t miss anyone from the grave.’
Rather it was that there was no one who I could miss in the first place.
[If I erge, I can protect you.]
‘Really? Will you look like a human if you erge?’
[Yes, and my power will stay the sa, but when I am assuming my true form, I can exude more power.]
‘Why are you using your human form then?’
[Most of the humans are so weak that they go crazy just by looking at a devil’s true form. Usually the bodies of other devils are too terrible for human eyes. But I look beautiful even in human eyes.]
He said with a huff.
Those words aroused my curiosity.
‘Then show .’
[Sure, but I’ll need to pull your divine power by 9 percent…]
I quickly corrected my words.
‘Co to think of it, I don’t think I have to look at it.’
9%.
Large amounts of my divine power was required to maintain his current form if it got to nine percent, it would drive crazy in less than half a day.
Carefully leaving the church grounds, I headed for the chapel.
During the al earlier, I heard people say that the Goddess’s Tears, was on display. But the chapel was guarded by many knights.
‘Boone, please make sure they won’t see .’
Soon, I set up a barrier.
I was thinking, if I get caught, I should pretend to be sleepwalking. But the knights didn’t notice .
‘Okay, it’s a success.’
I saw a glass tube on the platform and ran. It was much taller than , so I grabbed the corners and raised my head.
As I stuck out my head, I caught a glimpse of the beautiful sapphire under the moonlight.
‘This is it?’
[Yes! This is it!]
Boone exclaid with great joy.
I rummaged through my pockets and pulled out the wire I had packed in advance. When I was a beggar, there was no place I could not get through with this thing.
‘I must unlock it first, and remove the protection.’
It was then.
I heard the door open. I was so startled that I quickly lowered myself in an attempt to hide myself. I could see red wine-colored loafers worn which were usually worn by high-ranking priests.
‘I’m in big trouble.’
Just because I set up a barrier didn’t an that everyone couldn’t see . Those with strong divine power could see the existence within the barrier. In other words, if they were a high-ranking person in the church, it was likely that they could catch red-handed.
‘Boone!’
[Yes, child.]
‘Erge as a human.’
[Huh?]
‘Please attract his attention so that he doesn’t notice !’
A gust of wind blew through the window. I felt the cold blow over my shoulders as the curtains fluttered wildly. Boone erged with a human body.
‘Go out now!’
If I get caught entering the chapel at this hour, I’ll be locked up in prison.
If Boone gets caught, I’ll have to bring him back. As I got up, the other person’s feet ca to a standstill.
But…
“Are you from Dorie Farm?”
Far from being surprised, he said strange things.
‘Isn’t that Urso’s voice?’
He strode up and stopped in front of Boone.
“You’re a girl worth seeing as I have heard.”
It seed that Boone was mistaken as a very delicate and beautiful-looking woman.
That misunderstanding was very much possible in such a dark place.
I would have mistaken him for a woman too if I hadn’t seen that pillar of fire the other day.
“I have brought the money. If you make disappointed this ti, your father’s farm will be cut off today.”
What?
‘You extorted money from the residents, and you enjoy a luxurious life.’
If so, it was understandable how the church food was unusually delicious. Although they prepared it in a similar fashion to other churches’ food to show it to the people of Dubbled, it may have been mixed with Urso’s food because it usually used good ingredients. I glanced up and peeped at Urso as he approached Boone and squeezed his hands. Then,
‘Gasp!’
Suddenly, he grabbed Boone’s ass and squeezed it.
“Your father must have been in dire need of money seeing that he sent you in a hurry when he said he couldn’t do so before.”
There was a grin on his face.
Boone stared at Urso, who was rubbing a devil’s ass.
Could one consider Urso unlucky or lucky to be able to touch a devil’s butt?
I was so dumbfounded.
One thing was for sure, that madman was a pervert. Boone’s gaze fell down on Urso’s hand that was grasping his ass, and then a smile blood on his face.
“Why? Are you already excited?”
