Chapter 277
As a result of loaning the godly beddings, Maidence said that she wanted to take a look at the church .
… It still doesn’t have a caretaker yet though… ah, maybe I could get people to do it so I won’t have to spend DP?
As I thought about that, I guided Maidence to the church .
Meat and Ichika came along too . So did Maidence’s escort maid .
“So this is Beddhism’s church… It’s considerably different than a chuch for the White Goddess Faith . ”
“It’s embarrassing for you to see it without any furnishings due to it being so new, but… oh, how about it? Want a holy symbol?”
“No, I will not convert from the White Goddess Faith . ”
“What, you can believe in Beddhism as a subreligion . No one’ll even force you to apply the doctine either . ”
“S-subreligion? What’s that?”
Ah, I should’ve explained starting at that, huh .
I then explained it to her, cherry-picking the best parts .
By the way, it’s not like you have to have a holy symbol to be a believer . As an advantage of being a subreligion, it doesn’t matter even if you use another religion’s holy symbol to pray, all that matters is that you love resting .
“… I see . So in other words, one could believe in Beddhism while still holding faith in White Goddess-sama . ”
“Well, it’s not impossible . I would recommend Beddhism to anyone who sleeps, but it wouldn’t force anyone away from other religions . ”
“Oh, how nice . The holy kingdom’s Light God’s Decree is so overbearing that it’s frightening… by the way, does Kuro-sama follow Beddhism as well?”
“Yes, the same as Goshujin-sama . ”
Looks like Meat’s joined Beddhism too . Rather, I’d feel bad if she didn’t join .
What about Ichika? She believes in Food God Ishidaka though .
“I’ll join too, then . It’s important to have the same beliefs as your fiance . ”
“Ooh, thank you very much . ”
Follower GET!
“Well then, please baptize me… oh, will there be a priest coming?”
“Oh, it may be forward of me, I am responsible for that . ”
“Kehma-sama, you have priest qualifications as well?”
“Just for Beddhism . ”
So priests need something like that?
… Well, I am the rule for Beddhism . If I say it’s OK, so does Beddhism .
In other words, there’s no problem in me saying I’m a priest of Beddhism . If you think I’m lying, go ahead and contact Beddhism . Contact me .
“Mea—… Kuro hasn’t had a baptism yet either huh, let’s take the chance to do it . Please repeat after me… I am Beddhism . ”
“I am Beddhism . ”
“I am Beddhism . ”
“I’m Beddhism too~”
Ichika snuck hers in .
“Alright, now you’re Beddhists . Get some sleep, good night . ”
“… Eh? Th-That’s all?”
Maidence was confused .
Yeah? Is anything else needed?
“Are other religions different?”
“Well, yes, like being doused with holy water and reciting verses… then doing a ceremony where you wash your limbs . ”
“Hmm . ”
I was thinking that people would like it more if entering the faith was simple, but maybe they’d prefer more of a ceremonial performance?
In that case, maybe I should do something based on the Buddhist Scriptures…
“Let’s pray, then . I will use my Sleepsword Siesta . ”
“Is it a holy object?”
I pulled out my beloved sword, Siesta . Although Maidence’s Maid-san suddenly took a battle stance and pulled out a dagger, I continued without paying any mind .
“This is a holy sword capable of bestowing sleep . It has the effect of bringing sleep to its surroundings upon being given magical power . Ah, if falling asleep would cause you stress, Maid-san, I recommend moving a little further away… Yeah, that’s far enough . ”
“I see . So you must endure the sleepiness and pray?”
“No, you don’t need to endure it . Just sleep . That is Buddhism . ”
It’d be dangerous to fall asleep standing up, so I had the three of them sit down first .
“Alright then, let’s recite the Beddhist Scriptures Please close your eyes and repeat after me… Waan Sheeepe . 1”
“”” Waan Sheeepe . “””
“Tooo Sheeepe . ”
“”” Tooo Sheeepe . “””
The three of them repeated the way I counted sheep with an extraordinarily bad pronunciation… perfectly .
Are they actually hearing it as Japanese sounds? No way, did I just discover a hole in Translation Function-san?
“… Excuse me, Kehma-sama? What does this scripture mean?”
“This is a charm to bring about sleep . [Sheeepe] means [Thing that brings sleep], it’s appearing is generally akin to a sheep . [One] and [Two] are for counting how many there are… Normally, one would continue counting until they fall asleep, but for now, we will just count until ten to finish it . ”
“I see… so then, three Sheeepe, four Sheeepe…2”
After this, I’ll have to write 99% of the scriptures concerning Sheeepe, huh .
… By the way, since I created the scriptures with [Create Golem], I can change the order of pages or insert pages later as needed .
Right now, it’s like a notebook that’s about as thick as a pillow . Some might call it bluffing or something, but it’s important to be big enough to be used as a pillow if needed . Such is the way of Beddhism! Thickness bringing easier sleep is important!
… Whoops, I should use Siesta here soon . I’d used it to fall asleep yesterday too, so it was out of magical power . I put some into Siesta… fuuuah, I’m tired . It’s working .
“K-Kehma-sama . I’m starting to feel tired…!”
“Me too… Fuaaah, aah… . tired…”
“Five Sheeepe… six Sheeepe…”
“Kuaah…”
Meat and Maidence continued counting Sheeepe .
Ichika was sleeping . She was using her arms on the desk as a pillow .
“Umu, that’s great . Good Night . ”
“Kehma-sama, what does Good Night mean?”
Huh? So that’s excluded from Translation Function-san now too? It really is spell-like, I guess .
“Good Night is something you use before you sleep, it’s like a prayer . It means to have a good night’s sleep . ”
“I see…”
“It’s important that the meaning is that, you can use it when you’d go to bed normally and use it as a quick prayer . ”
“Hmm, so it’s easy to pray in normal, everyday life, huh…? Good Night . ”
“Good Night… ffff…”
Ah, Meat’s sleeping now too .
I want to sleep too… as the priest, I have to stay awake right now, so let’s get Maidence to fall asleep so I can as well . Let’s quickly turn [Blackout Resistance] ON… Now I shouldn’t be able to fall asleep .
Rather, not being able to fall asleep even when you’re feeling drowsy is a living hell yaknow!? Seriously, [Blackout Resistance] is a horrid skill .
“Nine… Sheeepe… n, nn… sss…”
“… Good Night . ”
Maidence fell asleep too . She couldn’t even make it to ten with Siesta here, huh… I’ma go to sleep now, too .
I took a good seat, turned OFF [Blackout Resistance], and entrusted my body to this overwhelming drowsiness .
The Beddhism Church was filled with warm sunlight . I really did make a comfortable place to sleep in .
Alright, night… Fuaaah .
