The teachings of Barca, I see. I have read the scriptures myself, that I have. It was quite interesting, that it was. I could feel a little bit of how the people who once moved beyond the mountain survived, that I could.

"And yet, no one has complained loudly so far?"

That's true. Because Mr. Alphonse created a mutual aid society, that he did. In that society, believers help each other. So, it can be said that those who are not in the mutual aid society are not believers, can't it?　I have a secret feeling about it, but I think of it in that way."

　Because, apparently, the new religion is recognized.

　Originally, a religion that suddenly appeared would usually be seen as something suspicious and strange.

　The teachings I tried to spread in the Barka Church could have been perceived in that way.

　There was also a possibility that the councils and senators running the Orient would consider it a dangerous religion and ban me from spreading it, Kristina had said.

　However, that does not seem to be the case.

　This may be because this mutual aid society has a very good reputation.

　This religion suddenly appeared, saying that it helps people, and actually started activities to do so.

　The basic idea is that believers who join the mutual aid society solve each other's problems.

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

　However, with people, all kinds of problems arise.

　Some problems cannot be solved by discussion and cooperation.

　However, with the addition of the armed forces of the Barka Mercenaries, they were able to deal with major disputes in an appropriate manner.

　Although there are some problems that could have resulted in bloodshed, the presence of the Barka Mercenaries serves as a deterrent to some extent.

　It is also good that they did not only use force to solve problems.

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

　If the only way to solve the problems of the Mutual Aid Society was to use force, it would not have been accepted by many people.

　The blood wedge played a major role in that.

　All those who joined the mutual aid society had to go through a ritual in the church.

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

　And in the ritual, there is a rule "to tell the truth in the trial".

　If they testified falsely in court, they would immediately cower, clutch their chests, and scream in agony.

　In other words, when a problem arises, a trial is held in which both parties cannot testify falsely if they are members of a mutual aid society.

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

　In most cases, when a problem arises, there will be false testimonies.

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

　A trial that excludes such false testimonies in a way that can be easily seen at a glance has given a great persuasive power to those who are watching the trial.

　The more the effectiveness of this trial became known, the more people joined the Mutual Aid Society.

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

　The more people knew about the effectiveness of the trial, the more people joined the mutual aid society, because they would no longer be able to lie in court, but would instead have a powerful means of proving their innocence.

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

　The more people who thought they would never do anything wrong, the more willingly they joined the mutual aid society, and the more people who did not join the society, the more people pointed at them as if they had something to hide.

　Perhaps because of this, the number of people who appreciate the Barca Church is increasing, not only among the general public, but also among the members of the Diet.

　From the looks of things, it seems that the BARCA Church will not be so bad in the future.

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