He said he was chasing off a small demon with a grenade.

I had no idea a Japanese roasting ball could do so much...

　A mysterious group of people suddenly appears in the immediate vicinity.
　They've escaped Pina's warnings and approached!

　.........Looking closely, Pina was being fed by Mr. Hasty.
　Well, well, Mr. Hasty is no stranger to her.
　So it's not Pina's fault. It's not her fault.　

'I'm sorry for the surprise of the new roasting ball and for the delay in coming forward. I'm the Hachiya clan, the clan chief, Axel Hachiya. My sister Hasty has informed me of Master Ryota's status. The others are Hachija clansmen, and hold the rank of clan leader or higher.

　In addition to Axel and Hasty, there are nearly 50 others. The Herba Haider race originated as half hamster beastmen and half elves. Many of them are as tall as children and have lovely, well-groomed, round faces, but they are also genuine assassins.

''Thank you for coming. I'm in the middle of the mud, but would you mind waiting in the guest house for now?　I will introduce you to the Goddess afterwards...

　Honestly, 52 skilled assassins are too scary!　And since they all look so beautiful and pretty, they'll be mistaken for illegal slavers... please, get the hell out of here!

I can't let your errand boy Ryota-sama do this kind of thing!　Hasty!　You're in charge of the shijimi, send out 15 girls. The rest will be me and the Demon Nucleus Tanish.

　They were at work before we could stop them, and within a few minutes we had reached the prescribed amount....

Well I would like to thank you all for your help. You'll be receiving your share of the prize... no?　No, that's not how it works. Unpaid labor is outrageous, it's a disgrace to the name of the Goddess!　You can't even contribute. Yeah, he's persistent.　Take it or be excommunicated!

　I will not tolerate unpaid work while my eyes are black!
　Even if it's in the name of a goddess!

I'm sorry, but please forgive me for my excommunication. But that's as good as you can do, messenger, you don't have the same smell as the priests and monks in the literature, I admire you even more. I apologize for my misunderstanding.

　No, it's indeed a violation of the Labor Standards Act.
　To me, it takes precedence over the Constitution.

In the meantime, I will contact the goddess.

　I prepared two large vats of hot water and a few hand towels and the like. After handing out shampoo and soap, I heard from Hasty and Axel that the gunpowder technology is protected, and I returned to the armored car to communicate with the Goddess.


I went back to the armored car to communicate with Goddess.

That's why we've been able to confirm that the gunpowder has not leaked outside the clan. The Hachijans will also assist in the investigation mission. All that remains is the technology of gunpowder in the clan. What should I do?

　If only they didn't have the technology for gunpowder, they're better than the gun mercenaries, the Zoga-shu and the Negoro-shu, who love guerrilla warfare. But we can't just make a shrine to the Goddess of Goddesses, a group of people with gunpowder technology, and say we should just go ahead and worship her....

"Even if you have a congregation in Ares you will not be able to immediately send a priesthood book to them... I taught Ryota the basics, didn't I? I'll take care of Ryota................................and raise the priest first.

'Ryota is temporarily made a priest, and the clan is contracted as followers of the Kanayako. If you add that your descendants will not receive the gunpowder, there will be no problem. Well, the followers of Kanayako I have no right to do anything about it, but........

　I'm not sulking, but it's hard for me too when Lady Exploration isn't feeling well. Besides, if you're a member of the Ares congregation, you're here too, right?

'Lord Kinyako, I serve the Heavenly Probing Woman and Lord Kinyako. Therefore, I am a follower of the two pillars. Therefore, if you appoint me as the head priest, the shrine will be a joint shrine of Tengaku-sama and Kiyomi Kanayako. The clan will be followers of both goddesses.

"What!　So, Ryota was my follower?　And you're required to enshrine...
"....of course, if it weren't for Searcher, Ryota wouldn't be in Ares........

'I'm grateful to the Prowler, but has her faith not been conveyed to you?　Strange, isn't it?　But the miasma and offerings don't seem to be coming through... not much of a religious belief, is it?

　I have a lot of respect for sardine heads, too, though they say what they are, right?　So be of good cheer.

Of course it's coming through!　Ryota is my true believer!　If Ryota, the priest of the two pillars of the congregation, is the priest, it's only natural for him to enshrine. I'm sorry for Kanayako, but you will do your best instead!　...get a bunch of congregations....

　Please don't let them see your tight face now, okay?　This goddess makes me worry sometimes...

'Just the cost of building the shrine. And until we can offer you the benefit, you must be paid for your work!　Otherwise, I will refuse the Goddess.'

"....Search girl... Toshiaki... wants sonar and contraceptives... and to make it through the dangerous waters... with more kids...

　Toshiaki-san, even if he has to break through the dangerous waters, he has to make money and save up to pay for school fees. Kanayako-sama says that Odesses has only private schools (Academia) and if we don't make a move now, we'll die with 24 students' tuition fees in the future.

　Education is also a must for a prominent merchant family.
　Moreover, his 12 wives have all given birth to children, and he has 24 children.
　It is terrible that there is no public school.....
