Chapter 30 – The Priestess Miria Only Listens to the Word of G.o.d 9

“Today is … no good, either”

Miria made a deep sigh and stood to a stop.

She had been visiting houses and accosting people on the road, but there were no people who would listen to Quira’s teachings.

We had been doing this for five days, but we had nothing to show for it.

“Onee-san cheer up. We’re just starting. It’s not going to be successful right away. Let’s try again?”

Transformed into a child as usual, I encouraged her.

“You’re right. I have to work had to make it up to the little lamb who kept me company every day!”

Miria bravely showed her determination.

She gripped my hand and began walking again.

But continuing on preaching like this, bluntly speaking, was no use.

Miria had gotten used to dealing with people, but she was stlil clumsy at it.

She lacked the communication skills to draw people into the church.

To solve this —

“Say onee-chan, if it’s all right with you let’s get someone to teach us how to do this”

“Find a coach to teach us? But who?”

Miria tilted her head.

“Leave it to me, I have an idea! I’ll bring her to church tomorrow”

“And that’s why you’re bringin me along?”

The person I called and brought along the next day was the Euva priestess I just met the other day, Rania.

She looked like a bartender wearing her white s.h.i.+rt and waistcoat, but she was a full-blown priestess.

“But you sure can transform so perfectly, huh … are you really Motoki?”

Rania poked at my cheeks that had transformed into a child’s.

“I’m the real me, I showed you my real self, didn’t I? But keep this a secret from Miria”

“You reincarnators sure are a weird bunch … sheesh, I’m not gettin it at all”

I ignored Rania scratching her head and opened the church door. Then I called Miria.

“Onee-san! I brought the coach I talked about yesterday! A Euva priestess!”

Miria was offering her prayers to the Miria statue inside the chapel. She saw Rania and was surprised.

“… My my little lamb, so the person you said would coach us is a priestess of Euva … ah … why is this happening”

“Huh? Do Quiran and Euvan chuches not get along well?”

I heard the G.o.ddesses Quira and Euva were sisters, so I thought their believers must get along well together — but did I get it wrong?

“My my little lamb … how can we be getting along together? G.o.ddess Euva always tricks and teases our Lady Quira … always causing so much trouble. Yes, I would like it if her believers don’t set foot inside this church please”

A vein popped on Miria’s head.

This is bad, is this going to be a fight—

But then.

“Uuh …”

Suddenly, Rania staggered. She seems to be feeling lightheaded.

“Are you alright Rania?”

I propped Rania up right away.

Miria also hurredly rushed towards us and lent her shoulder to Rania.

They’re fine with each other at times like this.

“Sorry, just a bit under the weather … can I sit over there? Sorry but can I have a gla.s.s of water?”

“Water is it? Alright!”

Miria went to fetch a cup.

Rania sat on the church pews waiting for Miria with the water.
