　The godchild might not be a godchild, I thought.

　However, there is a preparation involved in saying that I doubt the existence of a godchild. For a while after I woke up, I tried to gather information about the goddess and her surroundings, but I did not know what would happen if I said that the goddess might not be a goddess.

　We must proceed with caution. Who is the one who will accept it properly by saying that the godchild might not be the right godchild? The priests who have received the oracle other than myself have not even awakened yet. When they wake up, it will be a little easier to move. However, although I happened to be able to see the image of the divine child for a moment, I do not know if the others saw the image even for a moment.

　As a lowly priest, I am finally able to relate to the people at the top because I was able to receive the oracle, but there is no one who can tell me that the godchild might not be a godchild. They do not doubt that Alice-sama is a divine child. They do not know what to do when they hear that even the princess was beaten to the frontier because of their admonition to Alice-sama, banishing the woman who was her educator, while still believing that Alice-sama is a godchild.

　Maybe Lady Alice is not a godchild. If Lady Alice really is not a child of God, then she has shown the people what is not a child of God as a child of God. Considering the fact that several things detrimental to the nation have happened since we took Alice-sama into the temple, it may have happened because we took in a different being, not the real God-sama. They have decided that this is the result of having offended Alice-sama, but it seems that something is still happening in no small measure. I wonder how the temple feels about the fact that such a good effect is not happening, even though the land where the godchild is located is supposed to prosper because the godchild is a being loved by God.

　I agonized over the thought.

　Who should I tell? I thought it might be a good idea to tell him, but Alice-sama is still a child and there would be nothing I could do even if I told him. In the first place, it is impossible for me to see Alice alone with him.

　I was approached by Mr. Zinto, a high-ranking priest.

　He told me with concern that he had noticed that I had been looking melancholy lately.

　Since I woke up, Jinto-sama has been paying particular attention to me among the high-ranking priests. He is a noble man who has been a priest in the Great Temple for decades.

　How about telling this person?

　Such a thought came to me.

　Should I wait until the other oracle recipients wake up? But we don't know when they will wake up. If we don't tell them soon, we will end up making those who are not Godsons that much more Godsons.

　I did not know how I should move. The first thing to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you're getting into.

'When I received the ...... oracle, I saw not only the characteristics of the Divine Child-sama, but I also saw the Divine Child-sama, albeit only for a brief moment.

　It was the first time I had ever told that story. Jinto-sama listens to me silently as I tell him the story. I let out my voice as if I were trying to let out all the feelings I had been holding in my heart.

'......The figure was not blonde. I am sure that her hair was brown. I may be mistaken,........., but I can't help but think that perhaps Alice-sama is not the divine child of the oracle.

　A divine child recognized by the High Priestess might not be a divine child.

　That would be an impious statement. But it sprouted, because my suspicions were solid. Of course, I also told him that I might just be thinking too much.

　At my words, Mr. Zinto looked surprised, and the next moment he was smiling gently.

I understand. Then, I will take care of the matter."

　I was relieved when he smiled at me. It was a relief to finally be able to talk to someone about my suspicions that my long-simmering godson might not be a godson. I had thought that things would get better since the high priest, Jinto-sama, had said that he would take care of the case.

　However, two days later, I was locked up in secret.

　I couldn't help but be puzzled as to why. What began was an interrogation. They began by asking me what it meant to have a different appearance as a godchild.

　I did not even know that there was a basement in the Great Temple. I did not expect to learn of the existence of the basement in this way. I have not seen Mr. Zinto, who had said he would take care of this matter, since then.
