"The church in Barca? I'll get a map now. Well, basically, most of it is in the Orient, with a little bit in other smaller countries.

"It's not like that. I mean, is it safe to have Barca churches in other countries? They're not harassing you in any way, are they?"

 Once again, I asked Hannah about the current situation of the Barka church.

 More people had come to the church after hearing that Sura had been declared a saint than I had expected, and Hannah seemed to be busy, but she didn't show any displeasure at all and immediately brought a map to show me.

 According to the map, it seems that most of the churches are in the Orient.

"There is no act of harassment. There are people of various beliefs in small countries, so there is not much of a rejection when a new church is established. Most of the time, people just look at us like, "Oh, there's a new church there.

 However, the fact that Hanna from a poor town has this kind of way of thinking suggests that such a way of thinking may be common in rural areas outside of cities.

"Yes. I'm talking about the "en" that can be used to settle accounts with the bracelets made by the Church of Barca. We have been sending the rings to all the inhabitants in the Orient, but the other countries have not been able to keep up. So there is a demand for more bangles as soon as possible.

"Yes. When Barca Church was built, it was originally surrounded by an atmos wall to make it more defensible. If there is any sign of disturbance, we are able to respond to it by communicating with the magic tool for communication.

 Well, when I built the Barka churches in various places in the Orient, they were quite solid and defensive buildings.

 Not only did I surround them with high walls, but I also made the walls of the churches thicker by using "wall construction", so they were more solid than those poor fortresses.

Oh, that. It's true that the flow of domestic En will be a problem, but it won't make much difference as far as people who get the bracelet outside of Japan can use it by converting gold and silver coins into En, so I think it will be all right. Well, to be honest, I won't know until I try it.
