But it was an ideal first step in learning, and I soon began to look up the 'local indigenous gods' that were linked to the oldest 'Inscription White Teaching'. The more I read, the more new 'gods' came out, the more I couldn't stop rolling up the book.

The more I read, the more new 'gods' I found, the more I couldn't stop rolling up my hands.　There are these land gods sleeping in Fania. There's also ”Fertility God” and ”Sun God” and ...... and many more. But I think the first one is the winged race.　I'm definitely strong, I'm playing with the 'rules' of the world.

I went through a lot of 'scriptures'.

Fortunately, many of the books in Helmina's room were ideal for studying theology, as they were not Fannian.

But I read along at a good clip - and in the middle of the book, there was one thing that stuck out to me.

'But if there are so many gods ....... Any one of them could be ...... for us. If you can do something about the dark clouds in this world--

If only one pillar of God would come down and give that 'miracle' a great deal of credit.

Just that much and everyone would be saved.

All the cleaners and Helmina here.

It's not just Fania, but all the people in the world who are suffering from the 'demon poison'...

They listened to my soliloquy.

The 'low-level staff' cleaner who stopped cleaning with a flash.

Likewise, Helmina stopped writing with a flash.

It was an adult, Helmina, who answered my soliloquy.

She never makes fun of my childish talk about wanting to meet God, but instead faces me squarely.

God doesn't appear so easily,” she said. God's role is to watch us get through our 'trials', so ...... is the first thing he says, right?　Let's see, I think it's chapter 1, verse 7: ”Trials are the result of hope and good fortune, and they will surely leave you with proof that you have moved on to tomorrow. They always leave you with proof that you have moved on to tomorrow.

............ Oh, that's exactly what it says. That's the way it is, Helmina!　...... but do you just watch over them?　God,

'Yes. Doesn't it make you feel like you can do your best tomorrow if you think God is watching over you?

That's the most important spirit in theology.

Mr. Helmina told me that gently at the very beginning, but I, a young man, only pouted.

'No, sir. I don't think so at all. All I can think of is complaining about why you won't help me.

...... But if God helps you easily with 'magic', it will be hard the next time you're in trouble, won't it?　God may not help us every time. But if we go through 'trials' we can get through many hardships on our own.

It would be easier ...... and easier if God used 'magic' all the time without doing that (・・・・).

'That's right. That's right. ...... But I believe that by overcoming the 'trials', the 'magic' will not only belong to God one day, that's how I see it. It would be great if everyone could use the magic, wouldn't it?　You don't have to worry about anything else.

Oh, we use ”magic”?　...... That's right, if you can really learn to use 'magic', that would be a great story. But it's totally unrealistic!　There's no such thing as 'magic' for ordinary people like us!

I really wasn't cut out for 'the one who steals reason'.

It was probably because of this kind of personality that I never once caught the eye of 'The Apostle'.

And Helmina-san always patiently endured my rude and rude mannerisms and politely admonished me.

'It may not be possible in our generation. But if we work ...... a little bit harder in our next generation, and then the next, and the next, and then the next, one day ......, in a thousand years or so, we might really be able to use it, right?　If we keep working hard to overcome our trials, our descendants will be able to use magic and live a very happy and prosperous life. Isn't that very hopeful and very fortunate?

That's what Helmina likes to do.

She told me to do what I can do now, one step at a time, and I think she was doing a good job of relating the practical path to the conversation.

But of course, I can't convince myself of that, and I continue to keep my mouth agape.

.............

Looking back, at this point, Helmina had already spoken of a thousand years.

It was probably a time when she had decided that she couldn't reach it while she was alive and had begun to think about the 'Five Stage Thousand Year Plan' that would be completed after her 'death'.

Originally, that plan was supposed to be much more realistic than hoping for God to appear.

In truth, it was supposed to be the most correct thing for everyone to do a little bit of work.

'Yeah ......, in a thousand years?　It's too late then. It's not slow at all!　If you don't save 'our world' and not 'the world of our descendants', then it doesn't mean anything!　It's not a hundred years from now or a thousand years from now that we need saving, but now!　Now, we're here and we want you to save us!　So why is ......?　Why ......--

I raised my voice. But I soon realized that I was being selfish, so I also suppressed it.

Seeing this, Helmina didn't dismiss me as 'young' or 'stupid', but continued to be friendly and helpful.

'Really, I wonder why. ...... Like you now, ”Why? There are many people who are struggling with the idea. For those people, most gods have a person called a delegate. Sometimes they bring down to earth a person who can represent the teachings on their behalf by means of a seance or possession. --Let me borrow a few of those books, please.

It was in that consultation.

An entity that will continue to haunt me from now until I die, and even after I die.

We call it 'The Great Savior (Magna Messiah)' in the Neisha family.

Mr. Hermina gets up from his seat, approaches me, and without hesitation takes The Scripture of the Inscription White Church from a stack of books. She turns the pages as if she is reminiscing about a distant memory and shows me a line with the words ”The Great Savior (Magna Messiah)” written on it.

From the speed with which he finds the page, he must have read the Scripture of the Inscription White Church many times.

Maybe he had memorized it all by heart.

That's why I was able to easily deflect a verse in our conversation earlier.

'Ma, The Great Messiah (Magna Messiah) ......?　You're not an 'apostle' or a 'saint'. How strong is that person?

I'm not talking about being strong or anything like that because I'm a person who goes around preaching God's teachings: ...... and I can get God's help and do all kinds of 'miracles' and help people.

'If you're not God, how can you do the same thing as God?　You can help us--?

As soon as I heard that explanation, the young me said, ”I see,” and then, ”That's him! And exciting.

All of the gods in the book were majestic and substandard in appearance. Some of them were so precious that you would faint just by looking at them, others were bigger and hotter than the sun, and in many cases, they were in a pattern where they would become important just by descending.

To be honest, they were all difficult to imagine.

However, when it comes to agents, it's a different story.

In fact, I was finally able to get a clear image of what I was going to be like.

It was the image of the 'Great Savior (Magna Messiah)' who would suddenly appear in the land of Fania and cure everyone's sickness with his divine light...

But I think it's better to overcome the 'trials' than to wait for the 'Great Savior (Magna Messiah)'. By accumulating knowledge and experience and connecting our thoughts together, many people will be born who will be able to become the 'Great Saviour (Magna Messiah)' in a distant generation. ...... It's much nicer that way. Because isn't it kind of sad that we have to rely on just one awesome person ......?

For some reason, Helmina was talking about The Great Savior (Magna Messiah) in a very uneasy way. Naturally, I was too young to share that impression of pity.

'Everyone's going to be the 'Great Messiah (Magna Messiah)', eh ....... To begin with, is this ”Magna Messiah” something you can become by trying to become?　I feel like these things are just something you're born with.

You can be. Everyone will reach their aspirations one day if they keep working hard. ...... we have reached, ...... right?

So Helmina spoke to the cleaner.

The girl, who had been quiet all along, smiled softly and nodded slowly. I felt like there was a secret connection there that only the same s*x could make.

I felt a little jealous and picked up the edges of the words in a wild way, trying to figure out what they meant.

'Have you ever gotten it?　Did you ever have someone as awesome as Helmina, but you admire them?

'Of course there are a lot of them. Like, for example, the person who wrote that book. And the author of that book, too: ......!

As if to say that she's done a good job of listening, Helmina claps her hands and points to the books in this room one after another.

'And this book!　I have admired since I was a kid the people who have connected knowledge and experience to ...... our generation. They are all so awesome, and it's not easy to understand them, and they are very far away at first. ...... As I try to be like them, I'm trying to be like them, and then I start to understand them a little bit more. -- you start to feel like you're becoming (・・・・・).

'No, I don't doubt that you can be a scholar, Helmina. But it's a bit of a stretch for anyone to be (...) 'The Great Messiah (Magna Messiah)' (...)...” ......

'It might be ....... But as you imagine it and pretend it is, you get a little bit closer to the 'real thing'. That's what I want to believe. ...... And it doesn't even have to be our generation.

Ms. Helmina passed on my rebuttal and said ”we” again, laughing with the cleaner. I didn't understand what Helmina-san was saying, but the two of them communicated with each other eye to eye, even if they didn't have words.

I could sense a kind of connection in their appearance that I didn't have.

Also, I felt a little alienated.

It was too much for the young me to sulk.

'I think I'd be quicker to find the Great Messiah (Magna Messiah) rather than trying to be steady, though. ...... because there are so many books on religion, you know?　So many different people believed in such a full God. Then it's not surprising that at least one savior would come out in this world of dark clouds. I'm sure he'll come out, I'm sure he'll come out--

As a result of my sulking, I really was a child and hated steady scientific development in full support of The Great Messiah (Magna Messiah).

It was a spur-of-the-moment thing to say, but I meant it.

After all, the slow and steady path was never really suited to me.

Just thinking about it a thousand years from now makes my head hurt.

To be honest, I didn't care about my children's future, let alone the next one.

What's important to me is the present.

I'd like to take a look at Helmina, who is there right now ...... and, by the way, the janitor there.

I'm going to have to say that the world we're living in right now is useless unless it's saved.

I'm sure I'm not being weird that much.

It's not the smiles of our descendants that I want to see, whether they are there or not, but the smiles of the two people who are there now.

Maybe that's why I chose theology.

I finished digging up those memories from the word 'theologian'.

Looking back on it calmly, I don't think there was any particular reason for it.

I was just drawn to the comfort of listening to theology and let it drift away.

I'm sure that he wanted to help out in other fields because he could never keep up with Helmina's medical technology and research on 'demonic poisons'. To put it simply, it might be most correct to say that they lost out to the trends of the time.

So much so that those dark days were really clogged up with a lot of things.

So the only thing we could manage anymore was 'God' or 'miracles' or some other easy and straightforward path.

Ah yes, .......

If there was a reason, it was because it was easy: .......

It was the most comfortable. I chose theology because it was all the rage at the time and it seemed like the easiest path to take. I was a little girl then, and I was definitely going to have it easy.

-- even in hellish times and places, it would be a little easier.

That's one of the powers of my chosen theology.

It was probably what Helmina and the cleaners needed most - but I didn't realize it until I died, and I couldn't give it to anyone else.

Because before I grew up and realized it, 'God' would really appear in front of me.

The biggest bad luck - or is it luck?　Fortunately or unfortunately, one of the many religious books in Helmina-san's room happened to be the 'real thing'.

The god of the inscription white religion, 'Noi El Lieberrul', sent out an 'Apostle' with a really light heart, and even summoned a 'Gentile' on the condition that he would save the world - and then he would wander over.

Aikawa Kanami, the 'God of Light' who cures all sicknesses with the power of light, appears and I'm the one to guide the way.

Welcome. Is it a special case that you called me?

The dark-haired, dark-eyed ”Gentile” and the ”Princess” from Hoosier's.

I met the beings I've been waiting for and easily.

But I'm going to be mistaken for someone else.

The real 'Great Savior (Magna Messiah)' is not Kanami, but Tiara (・・・・). Rather, I didn't realize the fact that Kanami was a 'curse' for a long time until I was defeated by the 'Rustyala Hoosiers' who were happily laughing in a world a thousand years later.
