9-9. Sending off of God



 People who are not used to violence don't know how to take it easy.
 So sometimes a harmless person can suddenly beat someone to death in the blink of an eye.
 That's exactly what happened to Sister now.

 Not only am I being beaten up, but the Sister is also hurting.
 The blood on her slender hands must be mixed in with her own, and maybe even broken bones.

 Fortunately for both of us, Sister's exhaustion was probably pushed to the limit by the daily prayers.
 The Sister leans on me.
 I was tired of beating her.

 Blessedly, I whisper into her ear.

'Donation is pity. Or it was a worse emotion than that.

Everyone thinks it's too painful to see you.

They loved it, but they really wanted you to stop praying to them.

"Even those kids. I've always cried on your back.

 I've been dwelling on such details.
 More than half of it is just my wild imagination, but I'm sure I'm right about some of it.
 Well, by the looks of it, you might not have heard it.

 Or rather.........ouch!
 It hurts like hell because I was undressing my defenses in a cool way.
 I've been working out normally, so I won't die.

 I mean, it's kind of heavy.
 I mean, it's not polite to call a girl heavy!
 I just feel like the sisters have put all my weight on me.

Hello?
Coo....

 He's asleep.
 He's sleeping!

Well, here's the thing...

 Sister, rubbing my butt doesn't wake me up.
 Her body temperature is just right, it makes me feel sleepy.
 I'll just fall asleep, too.



Hmm...
Did you notice?

 The first thing I saw when I woke up was Ituna's unhappy face.

'Ah, what. Where am I? Another world?
Are you sleepy? Or did you hit something weird? It's another world, of course.

 Oh yeah, I was an otherworldly tripper. Another world, of course.
 Hmm, no, I just wanted to ask you if you were in another world....
 No, the ceiling you've seen before. You haven't solved it yet.

'We're both wounded. Tell me exactly what happened.

 Ituna has an unusually straight face.
 With a fuzzy consciousness, I'll tell you what happened, somehow or other.  

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you have to be able to say, "I'm going to be able to hit you too, Sakahagi-san.
Come in.
I'm not going to do it. I feel sorry for you.

 You're a good boy.

But I think I owe you an apology.
I'm....
I know what rule two is!

 Ituna exclaims in a tearful voice.

'No, I wasn't trying to talk about the rules...'
'Mr. Sacagawea was bad! So apologize to me.

 Well, yes.
 I've done some bad things.
 And I knew it.

"Bad.
More properly.
I'm sorry.
I was worried sick to death.
Yeah, you had me worried.
I thought Mr. Sacagawea was going to die.
I'm not going to die.
I don't want to die.

 Ituna hugged me tightly.
 The warmth of the hug awakens my consciousness.

I don't want to die, Mr. Sacagawea.

 Oh, that's it, my dear.
 She's far too good for me, that's for sure.
 She deserves to be with someone better than me, and she deserves to be happy.

 But we can't.
 No, you're not taking her to anyone.
 She's my Tsuna.

I'm so sorry, my dear. I'm not going to leave you behind. You're going to die with me.

 He said this as wholeheartedly as he could while lending his chest to the sobbing Itsuna.



''........I must be punished.

 That was the first thing the Sister said when she went to see him, following Ituna's words, "Apologize to Sister, too.

'That I gave in to the chatter and stopped praying. I gave in to my thoughts and stopped praying. All these are shameful deeds I didn't practice enough.

 At first glance, she appears to have reverted to the pious Sister, but the atmosphere appears different somehow.

'And so do you,'

 Sister gazed at me with kind, compassionate eyes.

'Unfortunately, I'm in the middle of being punished by another d*mn god as well. Any other godly punishments are awaiting booking, please.

 The sister giggled at such a light comment.

You really are a godless unbeliever, aren't you? I can't complain about you anymore. You don't even recognize the compassion that grows in our hearts as a gift from God, do you?
Yeah, I won't admit it. And your anger and sadness isn't an unbelieving thing. It's righteousness. It's all about you.

 I don't know how my argument was received, but Sister muttered as she shook her head.

''That's right. This feeling of mine..........was not something I could leave to God. Besides, my hands won't be able to form a proper prayer for a while.

 His hands are painfully bandaged.

'Yes,'

 I grinned...I thought I was going to grin...but my face was a wreck, too. I couldn't do it well.
 Well, I can heal myself by activating my self-renewal ability, but I want to keep the wound that Sister-san did to me while I'm in this world.
 In short, it's just for show.

 To tell the truth, I'd like to heal Sister's hand alone, but most of the power to heal others involves God.
 I don't like gods, I can't use healing magic, let alone faith-based magic in general.
 Maybe I can use it with a copy cheat or skill-robbing cheat or something, but I have no intention of trying it.

 Now that Sister-san can no longer physically pray, I'll naturally have more time to engage with the kids, even if I can't play with them.
 Maybe in a while I won't be able to stay in this other world.
 For my part, I just wanted them to realize that their prayers were useless, but at this rate, I might start praying again once my hand heals.
 I suppose it will be up to the sisters to decide whether or not to bother the children at that time.

'Oh, I just found out,'

 Sister's eyes widened as she saw me thinking.

'You were a real demon, weren't you?

 ...It was a nice smile.
 One of the most enchanting, profane, thin smiles I've ever seen.
 So I gave him the most evil smile I've ever seen.

'Yes. I told you that all along, didn't I?



 Thus, Ituna and I were happily kicked out.
 Well, there's no reason for us to stay there any longer.
 If this doesn't transfer for a few more days, I'm going to break my pledge and try a more forceful approach this time.

"Punishment.

 Suddenly, I thought I heard such a voice and turned around behind me.
 There was a little girl standing there, dressed in green.
 She has her back to that convent, but as far as I know, there was never a kid like that.

'But thank you for saving her from the cage,'

 The girl's voice was clearly audible, even though she must have been a long way away.
 The wind blew.
 In between blinks, the girl's figure had disappeared.

'What's wrong?'

 Ituna next to me nods her head slightly, wondering what's going on.

'No,'

 Huffing and puffing, I shook my head.

'You missed out on finishing off the rascal of this world,'
