Me, a priest? How could that be!

Chapter 149 The closer one is to God, the further one is from humanity

"That's so...that's outrageous! I—! I didn't do anything wrong—! I just went for a soak in the hot spring!"

Aqua hugged Viz and cried loudly.

The lich girl looked like she wanted to push her away, but couldn't bear to and could only silently endure it, which was really heartbreaking.

After careful questioning, it was learned that after the Aqua Cult's origins were discovered, the hot spring had become ordinary hot water, leading to a severe scolding from the manager. Aqua, naturally unwilling to be reprimanded for no reason, forgot her previous warnings and proactively clarified that she was a goddess, only to be ridiculed in return.

This goddess is such a disgrace.

Charlotte and Sato Kazuma exchanged a glance and then scoffed. x2

"Wow!"

Aqua cried even louder.

Not wanting to deal with such troublesome matters, Charlotte decisively returned to his room and locked the door, forbidding Aqua from coming over to bother him in the middle of the night as before. However, he forgot that while he could escape this night, he couldn't escape the next day.

Early the next morning.

Aqua hurriedly grabbed Charlotte's arm and ran out of the hotel. She was determined to find out the truth and clear her name, even though Charlotte felt that even if she found out the truth, the Axis cultists would not acknowledge her as a goddess.

We came out onto the street.

"Adventurer over there!" A blonde girl dressed in priestess robes stopped a passerby. "You just looked at me like you wanted to join the Axis Cult, didn't you?"

"No, I didn't see it—I mean, what kind of expression was it?" The pedestrian waved his hand somewhat reluctantly. "Sorry, if it's about proselytizing, I'm not interested."

It seems he was also a traveler who was bothered by the excessive harassment from the Aksis cultists.

However, the blonde priestess continued, "I see. So you mean that if you want me to join your cult, this beautiful priestess has to pay a price, right?"

"No, I didn't say one."

"I really can't help it. If it's just about having a meal with you, I'll reluctantly keep you company. But the condition is that you fill out a conversion application form and then treat me to pasta!"

"It doesn't benefit me at all!"

The pedestrian started cursing.

Even Charlotte felt that this Axis cultist was going too far, how could he eat and take things at the same time?

What surprised him, however, wasn't that the blonde priestess was harassing people on the street—after all, other Axis cultists might have gone even further—but rather because—

"Cecily!?"

That's right, this person is none other than Cecily, the famous and beautiful priestess of the Axis Cult (as she calls herself)!

"Strange, what's she doing here?"

Charlotte murmured.

Normally, shouldn't she be working hard to earn points in other towns to transfer to Axel? Why is she in Alcanredia? Your timing is off!

"Oh my, do you know Cecily too?" Aqua asked, somewhat surprised.

"Do you know me or not?"

Charlotte's first meal in this world was stolen by this guy. Not only did he steal Charlotte's food, but he also stole the items distributed by the Eris Cult at the time. Of course, he remembers it vividly.

"By the way, how did Aqua come to know her?"

"I ran into her at the hot springs yesterday. She was pouring slime agar powder into the water, hoping that everyone who came to soak in the hot springs could enjoy the water while eating agar slime. I must say, she has a really vivid imagination!"

"This doesn't seem to be a matter of imagination. Ugh, really. Not a single Axis is any good."

"What are you talking about, Charlotte! Isn't she a wonderful believer? Her active preaching means she's very devout, doesn't it?"

"—I see, the problem lies with the object of her faith."

Charlotte twitched the corner of her mouth.

Regardless, Aqua seems to really like Cecily, after all, they are both gods.

One is too close to God, the other is too far from humanity.

"Hehe, she's been actively preaching today too," Aqua said cheerfully. "At this time, it's time for me, as a goddess, to personally assist her. So, I'm sorry, I'll leave the investigation of the hot springs to you alone."

"Wait a minute! Don't just dump your work on others! And this is your problem, what does it have to do with me—hey, listen to me!!"

Charlotte immediately refused, but Aqua completely ignored her and shouted, "Cecily, I'll help too!" before abandoning him.

However, if this girl were left unattended, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause. Charlotte really wanted to leave, but in the end, she could only watch them from the sidelines.

"Here it comes!" Aqua waved the flyers in her hand. "Don't miss out! The Axis Cult is currently recruiting members. If you join now, you'll receive edible laundry detergent and a high-quality steamer as a gift!"

"What did you say?!" Cecily exclaimed in shock. "If you miss this opportunity, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"

The two of them seem to have a good working relationship.

The evidence is—

"I used to be a penniless wretch, but thanks to joining the Axis cult, I became a millionaire. Even my height has increased!"

"Ever since I joined the Axis cult, I've become incredibly popular with the opposite sex! I've kept this a secret from my friends!"

"At first I was skeptical, but since I started praying for thirty minutes every day, my school exam results have been getting better and better. The Axis Church is the best!!"

"—These are all the thoughts of believers after joining the church. The membership application form is here; those who are interested, please come and sign it!!"

The two sang in harmony.

Unfortunately, anyone who saw their performance would feel something was off and would avoid it. I thought they were going to perform a small theater piece, but they didn't.

Actually, these were still within acceptable limits, but what followed was really excessive.

Aqua stopped a pedestrian.

"Wait, you over there, miss! You look like a follower of Eris, don't you?"

"Yes, I am a follower of Eris. How do you know that?"

"Of course I know, because—you're wearing breast pads, right? I suppose it's because you feel inferior compared to your friends the same age, right? Were you bullied at Eris Church because of your breasts?"

"No, that's not true."

"It's okay! No need to say anymore! There's only one way to be saved! That is—convert to the Axis religion! The Axis doctrine includes loving those with small breasts! I'm sure everyone will accept you because you have small breasts!"

This girl always manages to hit people where it hurts. Does she really want to convert others to her religion?
