In spite of what happened with Chris, the rest of the day was exactly the same as usual.

　We finished our breakfast without incident.
　The chicken dish that Uzuki made was great again today.

　And now.
　I'm watching Timothy in the church as he works quickly to prepare for our future activities.

　No?
　At first I thought I'd help, you know?
　I ate too much of the lightly salted negima that was served for breakfast, so I thought it would be nice to have a quick bite to eat.

　But

Well, this is...

'That's the congregation ledger we're going to make. We don't have a congregation yet, so it's all blank. For now, please put it on the desk in the back room.

　...............
　.........

Is this a book about the Virgin Mary...?

'We use these books for young children who have trouble reading the scriptures to themselves. Because the precious deeds of the Virgin Mary, who devoted her life to community service, are great for moral education.

Hmmm. Oh, but there's a scene here and there where Maria is thinking a bit badly...

'It's adapted in a slightly funny way to get kids interested in it. So it's quite interesting for adults to read.

'Huh.......so many things have been thought through.......'

For now, please keep it at the bottom of the cupboard over there, where even small children can reach it.

　...............
　.........

I found a bunch of books and papers that looked difficult...
The latest technical books and articles on agriculture and livestock.

"...why is there such a thing?　Not theology?　Is the church actually an agricultural cooperative?

No kyo?　I don't know what the term is, but it's also an important part of the church's role to spread a variety of new knowledge and skills. If it increases productivity, it will make the daily lives of our congregation easier.

The propagation of knowledge........the church is an important social infrastructure. I've always thought of churches as facilities for prayer and soup kitchens.

　It was a hefty & haphazard view of religion, which is common among Japanese.

I don't mean to sound vulgar, but it's not easy to run a business on faith alone. Even if you want to do the soup kitchen that Manashilo-san was talking about, you need a lot of money.

'Sure....'

'Would you say that the reality is that there are no situations where we don't get donations from the lords in exchange for education and instruction? I hope that by preaching our faith, we can someday bridge the gap between the ideal and the reality.

Ku..........

　How healthy you are...!
　You hold on to your ideals, but try to do your best in the face of reality, which is inevitable.

　That way of life is fiercely moving to me right now........

Okay, okay!　When I become the Grand Duke of the Eastern Frontier, I promise to be the first to back the Church!

　--I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to do it.

　I mean, I don't know what to do and how to do it at all, so even if I did not do it efficiently while listening to this and that, it didn't add up as a labor force at all.......

　In fact, Timothy was the only one who seemed to be able to get the job done without a hitch.

　And even though I was such a useless person, Timothy...

Thank you for your help.
　I'm sorry.

　I'm sorry, Timothy.
　I'm sorry for the worthless and useless "Shinmeizuhau"....
