"......What in the world are you going to say now, Mr. Ars?　Whose grave are you talking about?　You're not going to go out there and say something crazy like, "I'm going to go choke the life out of someone, are you?

"Hey, Leon. That's a bit of an exaggeration. What kind of savage is that?

"I was joking. But what's wrong with the tomb?　If it's the tomb of our ancestor King Carlos, a magnificent one is under construction. But it is so magnificent that it will take a long time to be completed.

"Well, it's also a public works project to create jobs. No, it's not. It's another tomb. We're trying to make peace with the Doren royal family. I thought I'd make a tomb for the late King Doren."

"Mr. Ars?　What reason did you have to make peace with the royal family of Doren, if you had not become their vassal?

"No, Rion told me the other day. He said I didn't make a good impression on him. So I thought I'd do something nice to make a good impression.

　After thinking about it for a few days, I decided to build a tomb for King Doren.

　Of course, I have not said anything to the royal family of Doren yet.

　I will take the liberty of using it to enhance my image.

"Sure, we talked about that the other day, but why a tomb?"

"Well, I simply couldn't think of anything nice to do. But I usually attend funerals of various people, don't I?　That's pretty much appreciated. And the last King Doren has been missing, dead or alive. That means he never had a funeral. So I thought I'd mourn him as a shield of God. I thought if I did that, he would be recognized as a compassionate man who responds mercifully to his enemies."

"...... It is certainly a good thing to mourn the dead, but it is a very greedy thing to do."

　Leon stares at me in dismay after hearing what I said.

　But I think this is a pretty good idea.

　It is, after all, related to the view of life and death in this area.

　What happens to people when they die?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Probably, everyone thinks about this at least once in his/her life.

　No matter how much you think about it, it is meaningless and inconclusive.

　However, even though we know this, there are times when we cannot help but think about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This idea of what happens to people when they die can be roughly divided into two parts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One is the idea that when we die, we go to the other world such as heaven.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The other is that we reincarnate and come back to life in this world.

　Of course, there may be others, but it is usually one or the other.

　And it seems that many people in the Kingdom of Fontana and other former kingdoms of Doren have the view of life and death that they will go to heaven when they die.

　It is said that in regions where people believe that they will come back to this world again as in reincarnation, food tends to be plentiful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I once heard that if there is an abundance of food, people do not suffer from hunger even if they are alive, which leads to the idea of reincarnation, because they want to come back to this world again.

　And this is a common belief in rice-growing regions.

　On the other hand, what happens to those who are born and raised in a society where crops are hard to grow and people suffer from hunger?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They do not want to come back to this world full of suffering until they die.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, they tend to wish to go to heaven where there is no hunger and no suffering when they die.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This tendency is more prevalent in areas where wheat is grown rather than rice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know if this is true or not, but in our area in the former kingdom of Doren, there are many people who say they want to go to heaven when they die.

　Well, this may be because of the existence of the god world.

　In fact, there is a place where God lives and is called the paradise in the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Only a few people in history were supposed to live there, but the Church's Bible says that if one lives a clean and righteous life, his/her soul will be purified and taken to heaven.

　In other words, the Church is saying that when you die, you will be one of those who live in the paradise in the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And that is what many believe and hope for.

　In short, in the customs of these places, death is not the end, but salvation.

　To die is to be released from this war-torn world of hunger, suffering, and violence.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, the dead should be mourned as respectfully as possible.

　We must purify their bodies and send them back to God so that they will not become immortal and wander around in this world.

　After all, I am a shield of God, and I actually go in and out of the heavenly world of God, and even meet with God.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even a royal family with a long history would not refuse such an offer from such a man to be properly purified and sent off to God.

　Should we build a tomb not in the god world but in the holy city floating in the sky?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We should make good use of that place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Besides, the home of the church is supposed to be the great church in the city of Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We should rebuild it as the Holy City but turn it into a sky cemetery in order to have another function instead of being the headquarters of the church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think it's a pretty good idea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, I can apply this setting to the opponents who have lost their lives fighting me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, I have not taken their lives as an enemy, but I have sent them to God.

　Some people may be somewhat fooled if I tell them that what I have been doing is not killing but saving souls.
