Chapter 352 - Episode Fifty-Two - Later

-And so, the Levi riot came to an end.

It’s been a week since I left the Holy City after defeating Med, who was pretending to be Levi.

I was sitting in my room at Lark’s mansion in Fage territory, propping my elbows on my desk and lost in thought.

Ahhhh, I guess I don’t have any choice but do it.

At least, I don’t think I could have done any better.

However, with that one incident, the Riveras Kingdom, which had been coming together, was completely destroyed.

That fact remains unchanged.

But when you think that the lives of tens of thousands of people were affected by what I did, you can’t help but feel naïve.

“Abel-chan, Abel-chan!”

Peter’s voice echoed.

“May I ask you to wait in the guest room? I’ll call you right away ……”

“It’s troublesome so don’t bother, I’m going to be staying in this village for a while anyway, so leave me alone.”

“No, there’s nothing to leave alone, this is Lark’s mansion, after all! Um, if you could refrain from doing anything too rash ……!”

You can hear Euris’ confused voice and Peter’s troublesome voice.

“It’s okay, it’ll all be over soon anyway.”

I left the room and thought back to that day.

She was rescued from the canal by the followers, but crucially, while she was in the puppet state, she was still conscious, and she had to listen to the naked confession of Med, the fake Levi, and she cried out, “I should have died in the civil war”, and was on the verge of committing suicide.

However, it was only because the desperate Med incited the people’s hatred that they did not turn on Sateria, so I would like to thank him for his bad character.

It seems that Peter initially wanted to undermine the power of the new Levi faction after Levi’s death by taking away Sateria and making up the story that she had defected to the Dinrat Kingdom.

However, since it became obvious to everyone that the new Levi faction no longer has of any value, there was no need to take Sateria by force, and she was left in the Riveras Kingdom.

“…… Okay? In five years, you will be able to reunite the Riveras Kingdom. If you can do that, I, and possibly the Dinrat Kingdom, will support you. But if things continue as they are five years from now, and a few groups continue to cause trouble for the kingdom, then you can consider the Riveras Kingdom to be finished.”

Finally, Peter said to Sateria and the others.

I thought it was impossible. I’m sure that Sateria and the followers thought it was impossible.

Peter must have known that. It’s a cruel thing to say.

The dragon vein that makes the Holy City a holy place has dried up, and Sateria herself is still under the bad impression of being a false Levi High Priestess.

In the first place, the Levi church itself has been disgraced by the recent turmoil.

No one in the country knew what to believe.

Even so, Sateria put her head to the ground and replied, “Thank you very much”.

Peter has the aspect of a ruthless pragmatist who is the first in the kingdom, but the past Pope Peltaire was a mild-mannered man.

I’ve taken the liberty of assuming that he didn’t want to abandon Sateria, who was also desperate to protect the kingdom.

I opened the door and Peter and his subordinate, Münch, came in.

For some reason, he was carrying a bundle of documents. I wondered if he had something to say to Lark.

“Abel-chan, in fact, I plan to give you …… What’s with the freaky skin? It’s not like adventurers are stupid enough to decorate their walls with fogg.”

“I’m sorry, but this is a famous water god.”

Peter closed his mouth.

Myunhi didn’t seem to understand what I was saying and tilted her head.

When I was asked by Kudor to revive Med, I could not tamper with it in the alchemist’s laboratory, so I asked Lark’s permission and worked on Med’s corpse in this and that way.

When I had successfully restored the form, I completely gave up on resuscitation, pinned it against the wall, carved the magic formula into its skin, and proceeded to analyze it.

Really, it was very helpful.

“Are you okay? Aren’t the god Kudor going to get mad for this?”

“It’s the crusher’s fault, I’ve done what I could. Rather than that, the important matter is……”

“Well, yes, there was a letter from the Pope Sateria to you, Abel-chan.”

Sateria …… I don’t know when or at what point he received the letter, but it seems that she was still alive when she sent it.

“Former, right”

“I heard that she was reinstated as Pope, though she calls himself one.”

“Heh~ …… Levi Church was able to survive from that state?”

Myunhi shakes her head.

“…… No, it’s not Levi Church, it’s Avel Church.”

“Who’s that god?”

Peter silently pointed his index finger at me.

For a moment I didn’t understand what he meant, but after about ten seconds of thinking, I finally did.

“Eh, is it me ……? Are you kidding? What?”

“…… It seems that is very serious. In fact, I had one of my men scout out the Riveras Kingdom and it seems that they have begun to install a stone statue of Abel-chan in the Holy City.”

“Why!? For Harassment!?”

What, what’s going on? Is Sateria leading it?

I think she’s going a little crazy from the shock.

“…… It seems that the late Levi sent this young man from God’s world to defeat the evil demons who were bewitching the country by calling themselves water gods.”

“Isn’t it me they’re talking about ……”

“They say he can handle Levi’s spear, I don’t know, though.”

“It’s me they’re talking about, after all ……”

I was annoyed by Peter’s irresponsible way of speaking.

“I’ve heard that you can use Kudor with your chin. Maybe this is where the Kudor-hating Levi followers got the idea.”

“He’s got a temper, you know, so please stop it! He’ll kill me! Why is it slightly different? I’m Levi’s apostle and I’m supposed to be able to use Kudor with my chin! If I make one mistake, things will definitely get ugly!”

“It must have been a convenient idealization. Abel’s statue was also somehow more muscular than he was. It’s not like anyone cares about which god is stronger than the other, because it varies from country to country.”

The statues are being transformed from one side to the other.

What the hell is that guy doing?

“It’s no use, Abel-chan’s presence was very convenient. After all, you’re the hero who defeated a demon that cheated God, you can handle Levi’s spear, and you can use the Great Evil God in your jaws. I’m sure none of the Levi followers who were there would have objected.”

“Lastlyyyyyyy! That’s not me at all! Anyway, what is with that Avel, but why is he so much like Levi!?”

“I guess she learned from the false god riot that if you worship a real person, you will suffer from the discrepancy between ideal and reality. She’s gotten a lot tougher, hasn’t she?”

I hold my head in my hands.

What is she thinking?

Peter also, he’s looking at me like, there’s also that way, huh.

The real Levi-sama will cry, you know.

“So, the letter is ……”

“Myunhi, put it on the floor for him, please.”

Peter ordered Myunhi to put the bundle of papers in her hands on the ground.

I wondered what the documents were, but they were all letters. I’m not sure if you’re expecting me to read them all.

“In fact, it seems that one of our scouts was captured by Sateria’s men and given this to deliver. It seems that the girl thought that I would send a reconnaissance mission anyway, so she had her men look for it.”

“Okay ……”

I looked down at the stack of letters with no effort.

“I’ve had Myunhi check it out before delivering it to Abel-chan. The atmosphere in the city has lightened up completely, and she would like you to come and visit.”

“I absolutely don’t want to!”
