89 After Days: Annispheres Birthday 02 (2/2)

I exhaled to regain my mind, then tried to keep my back on my back and just broke my posture a little bit.

”Now magic has become a major policy that everyone, civilian or noble, will pay attention to. Everyone wants to see the convenience of a magic artifact, an invention of magic. But Lang's sense of crisis in the future... is the decline of the Spirit Faith, isn't it?

”... Yes”

”Is it the decline of faith? No, that's... Isn't that strange?

Yufi frowned to say that she could not understand. Yeah, maybe that's why it's hard for Uffi to understand. I wouldn't have been aware of it if it wasn't for the current situation.

”Uffi thinks respect and faith in the Spirit won't waver because he deals with spiritual stones even in demonic props, right?

”Yeah, that's right.”

”It's right and wrong at the same time.”

”Right, but wrong?

”It could be magic, or it could be replaced by faith in magic props. Faith in the Spirit is no different. But the contents are going to be different.”

Appreciation and faith in the Spirit does not change Dayuan even when demonic props are popularized. But that definitely changes shape dramatically from traditional spiritual beliefs.

Yes, well, nobody understands Lang's sense of crisis because there is no change in faith in the Spirit. What Lang feels is not exactly the content of the faith itself.

”The crisis Lang's having is a loss of culture, right?

”... Yes”

”Even if the essence of the Spirit faith remains the same, the convenience of the magic props is vividly reflected. That's why everyone asks for magic props. So much so that you might forget what it was used for.”

”... ah”

So Yufi also zeroed his breath to say that he noticed.

I think people's lives are going to change dramatically with magic tools now. That's what we have to do. People want it to be more convenient as long as they know it's convenient.

So if there's a better way than usual, there's no choice. But in Lang's position, given the history of the establishment of the Spirit Ministry, I'm in a position to give a warning.

”Until now, spiritual stones have been used for festivals, haven't they? But it was treated as a means of showing performances and daily faith on the stage: festivals. But Uffi tried to use the Spirit Stone as a magic prop to spread magic. That's good. There is no problem. But in the future, then? What if the use of spiritual stones is restricted only to demonic props?

”... is that what Annis calls a loss of culture. I also finally understand that Lang, who works for the Ministry of the Spirit, cannot overlook it.”

I don't think a bad culture can help you disappear. But I think it's a good culture to leave behind performances that use spiritual stones as festivals, because they also include a liturgical meaning.

”I mean, that I'm too inclined to spread magic to be aware of traditional cultural preservation. Is that what you're trying to say? Lang.”

”It is up to Her Majesty the Queen to understand this sense of crisis,” he said.

”I am ashamed to admit, from that point of view, that I did not take enough account of you, the Ministry of the Spirit...”

”Sorry, Lang. This is where I reflect, too.”

Yufi may indeed be competent as Her Majesty the Queen, but I forgot that there are neglects in the minds of these fine people.

My father, who is an assistant, has also been preaching magic to me for a long time, so he is willing to spread his magic props. Originally, it seems that his father and his predecessor, the Ministry of Spirituality, had been drinking boiled water.

So again, the problem is that no one to point out was around Uffi. This is how Lang pointed me out, so I guess I can say it's a visible issue.

”But Lang. You know that, right?

”... Yes”

Lang nods small and makes it look like he understands what I'm trying to say.

I know what Lang is trying to say. This is especially true. It's not weird as Lang's job because we're the ones who have the ability to inherit and preserve culture. But...

”To be clear, I don't think we can use spiritual stones in the traditional way when it comes to festivals. Whatever I say, but that's all the magic props had too much influence. Even Uffi might have thought, right? I wonder if the use of festive spiritual stones is a waste of time.”

”... that's right”

The amount of spiritual stones used in the festival also varies depending on the scale of the festival. But the use of spiritual stones used at festivals is basically limited on the spot. There are definitely people out there who think that would be useless with the advent of demonic props. 'Cause I was the first to think.

But that's because I'm only looking at the convenience of demonic props. As good as using a spiritual stone in an on-the-spot festival, it is decided that it is better to use it permanently as a magic tool to help the people's lives. That's what I originally thought, and I think that's the right thing to do.

”But that's no good then. Whatever the future holds, if you do it now, you have no place in the ministry of spirits. But even me and the spiritual ministry have a cause, and many people think we're halfway apart. That weakens the position of the Spirit Ministry. If we cut the power of the Ministry of the Spirit, all the work we have taken over from the Ministry of Magic and the prospects for the future will be crushed.”

That doesn't taste good. What is unsavory could make even people who compile materials stored in large quantities in that spiritual ministry unwanted.

There is no doubt that in the future there will be more talent for the Ministry of Magic that is now becoming popular. I also recommend it in national politics. But that doesn't mean you can scorn the spiritual ministry.

”Even though many in the Spirit Ministry have atrophied to Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the King. That's all I've ever done, but I can't stand it.”

”So I want to improve my relationship with you, and if I can, I want to hustle and tell you that the Spirit Ministry also has a gorgeous active place after we authorize it. I want to show you a lot in the form of my birthday, which also coincides with that role of preserving culture. Is that what Lang thinks fit?

”Yes, Her Royal Highness the King of Anisphere is right.”

Lang nodded to me to agree. But that's why the traditional way of doing it can also lead to opposition to the spiritual ministry. It was approved by me and Yuffi.

Because there are things that we can't suppress because we've already spread magic props. Even though it's a royal birthday, I can't even look at it anymore if they think it is.

”Until that means, I don't have an alternative either. But rather than losing the opportunity, I wanted to tell Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the King that I was submitting this project.”

”Hmmm, that certainly feels better than not saying anything to me than it helped me to say...”

Well, what's wrong with all this...?
