I Have Supported My Favorite Character for 10 Years - Chapter 40
40. He is called Trian, an elder of Joagyo.
***
“We, the Benon State, hereby announce the addition of Joa Church to the official state religion, and declare that discrimination and exclusion of any religion, including Benon God and Joa Church, is strictly prohibited. Anyone who violates this cannot avoid the heavenly punishment of our unique gods, Benongat and Joa….”
The position of ‘sponsor’ is actually a great position that can be held by Benongat.
However, being treated as a true ‘godhead’ is a different experience.
“We at Benongat Church promise infinite friendly relations with Joah Church….”
High-ranking noblemen, including kings and popes, came running to us in one month.
At first, I was excited and happy to be treated as a ‘divine figure.’
But, people are so cunning that their happy feelings last less than 30 minutes.
I feel more tired. I just want to finish this quickly and rest.
I yawn.
“Haam-“
“Jo, Jo-ah, is there anything you are uncomfortable with?” ?”
I only yawned once, but a Benon government official next to me asked me what was uncomfortable.
Rather than being inconvenient-
“..I really appreciate you preparing this and that. I’m so tired. In the future, wouldn’t it be possible to simplify these rituals and events? No matter how long it is, within 5 minutes.”
At home, we used to hold ancestral rites through FM every holiday. All kinds of ceremonies are held, starting from preparing food, but when the ancestral rites are over, my legs start to hurt. At that time, I always thought to myself.
‘This kind of evil habit will be cut off from my generation.’
Be polite, show respect, everything is fine.
But I wonder if there is a need to make a fuss.
At the time, I was from a strict family, so I couldn’t raise my voice properly.
But here, I brushed off my complaints because it was a situation worth talking about.
Then-
“Finish the ceremony!”
“There is an emergency meeting for the officials and ministers, so please gather together.”
“Joa ordered the event to be simplified. It should be applied to all national events in the future….”
The King and Pope, who had been talking back and forth, hastily came down from the podium.
Some ministers bowed before me, and some hurriedly ran somewhere.
“… This time it’s really awesome. “I should have said this a long time ago.”
There aren’t many things that can be changed with just one word.
Now that things have come to this, I need to change some of the things that bother me.
“Azel, first of all, is it the Joa Church doctrine?”
‘Yes, Jo.”
“Is there anything recorded separately, like a book?”
“Yes, of course! “I recorded every single thing Joa said!”
Azel seems to have become more enthusiastic than before.
She must have thought I was going to say something new, so she quickly took out her pen and paper.
“… “Put down the pen and paper and bring me what you wrote down so far.”
Now we have to ban singing and all that.
At this point, I think I should stop by the church. It would be better to replace all the existing cringe-worthy and embarrassing things.
***
As I headed to church, I received a package of books that looked like the Bible(?) That Azel brought with him.
[Big Yurorizoa words]
[Speech is soft and gentle]
[Words of Heavenly Fortune – Writing]
“… “What is this?”
“This is a collection of Joah’s words from each period!”
Azel was smiling broadly as if he was hoping for a compliment from her.
I’m smiling like this and I can’t say anything.
“But I still want to make some changes, is that okay?”
“Yes!”
As you can see, the words I sent in a message before are written down.
[Joa said, ‘Those who talk about money when they have money are rats.’ The rats must soak the sacred hammer in hot oil, heat it, and crush its head.]
[Seeing those who were like wolves and wolves approaching the women, Joa said, ‘Crush the heads of those wolves and wolves, but the faithful should not even come near their corpses.’ So, he said, ‘If someone breaks these words, let them be like a pack of wolves and set an example for them.’]
“… But did I say this?”
I think I sent a message with roughly similar words….
The change has become a bit extreme.
“I wrote this after interpreting Joah’s words together with our priests!”
… So, in short, they reinterpreted it as they wanted.
From noble mtl dot com
“I guess I’ll have to rewrite this.”
Whether they intended it or not, there are countless believers who follow my words anyway. Because at this very moment, countless people’s prayers were coming into my head.
You can’t ignore my influence here.
If possible, it would be better to strike a certain degree of moderation rather than going to extremes like this.
“If you just tell me, Joa, I will rewrite it at any time and convey the changed words to the believers!”
“… No, I’ll just do that too.”
“Joa herself… ?!”
I was momentarily surprised by Azel’s violent reaction.
“… Huh.”
“Wow! Believers will love it! Especially since many of the new believers coming in these days are children! “The kids will be so happy!”
A lot of children come in.
… Why?
If you just look at the doctrines written right in front of you, they are quite radical.
Before I even asked why.
I saw a church in front of me-
Many children ran out of the church, as if to prove Azel’s words.
“Waaa—!”
“Joa has truly arrived!!”
This is the scene I saw in the past every time I received [Thank you of the month]. She would send photos and videos of Azel doing her volunteer work, surrounded by her children.
However, seeing it and being there in person have different feelings.
What if it were a 2D world?
Life itself was a bit far from dealing with children.
But when all the children welcome me and like me, I feel good.
“Guys, you must not behave in a profane manner…” ! Oh my, Jo! I offer my condolences… !”
A woman dressed as a nun hurriedly ran out and stopped her children.
When she saw me, she immediately started bowing.
… Honestly, I feel more comfortable with children who just welcome me than with nuns who bow to me.
“No, it’s okay. It’s not a disrespectful act at all. I like it better like this. “Please stop bowing.”
The children organized themselves into a circle with their hands together and chattered. I just grabbed my pants and stopped sagging. It’s amazing.
“Hello, guys. “Has everyone eaten?”
… I don’t know if it’s right to be treated like this, but I’m not used to it so I don’t know what to say.
I want this because there are no dialogue options like in the 2D world.
Fortunately, the children answered brightly.
“”Yesss!””
“Have you ever felt uncomfortable at church?”
“Nothing!”
“It’s fun!”
… Sounds fun?
If you just look at the doctrine, isn’t there anything interesting to be found?
Anyway, I’m glad the kids say it’s fun. I was a bit curious about how they did it.
I asked a child who was looking at me with bright eyes.
“Which one is fun?”
“Playing with Azel! Playing with friends! Uh… And singing hymns! Listening to Joa’s words! And… “It’s all just fun!”
The first two things are fine, but singing hymns and listening to myself….
I’ll definitely have to look into that part.
Except all the cringeworthy things.
“I see….”
While I was thinking about what to do next, one child raised her hand.
“Joa! “I have a question!”
“Yes, ask me anything.”
“Then, with Saint Azel… Are you and Joa going to become mom and dad later?”
… Huh.
Oh, maybe that could be the case?
I couldn’t bring myself to say that out loud.
In response to the child’s question, other children also began to talk noisily.
“I said it would be disrespectful to ask such a question! “You will now be punished by Joah!”
There were also fanatic children who seemed to have received thorough mental education from Azel-
“Hey Babu! “No matter how much of a god you are, it’s rude to ask something like that.”
There were also mature children-
“I’m sorry Jo. “Matthew is not a bad child. I hope you will bear with me punishing him.”
There was also a king of selflessness who spoke with tears streaming down his face.
There-
“Hey, guys! “You can’t say such profanity, okay?”
There was also Azel, whose face turned red and who urgently tried to dissuade the children.
Is my face like this now? Probably so. It’s hot.
“But Azel, in Chapter 5, Verse 5 of Joa’s words, it says that you are an exception. “Then isn’t that okay?”
… Is it soft and dry, verse 5 of chapter 5?
I remember it.
Chapter 5, verses 1 to 4: Female believers should stay away from men, they are like wolves. I roughly remember it like this. It is said that this is the secret to Jo Ah-gyo’s considerable popularity among his supporters.
But in Chapter 5, Verse 5, I said that exceptions would be handled.
I stroked the little boy’s head.
“It’s very special.”
At that time.
Suddenly, a stream of golden light came down from the sky and down my body.
Wooow—
[The believers’ faith has become even stronger.]
[Opening the power of God: the hearts of believers]
I was taken aback by the sudden situation, but-
There was no need for anyone to explain. Because I knew right away what abilities I had gained.
“Waaah! “Joah has demonstrated his power!”
[As expected, Joah is the best!]
“Oh my, Jo! “Please grant me salvation!”
[Joa, please bless our church and our children!]
The ability to know the thoughts of my believers.
When people like the king and the pope were talking about godhood and all that, it felt a bit vague-
I feel like I have real, practical skills.
Have I really become a god?
No, there is no need to ask.
This is my world.
I can’t help but laugh.
Judging from what he said, ‘The believers’ faith has become even stronger’ –
My power seems to become stronger depending on how much my believers believe in me.
If that’s the case, then I need to encourage more believers of Joahyo Church, including children, to follow me.
From now on, I will have to visit various churches of Joahyo Church.
So far, Azel has played the role of gaining that ‘trust’.
Now it is my turn to step forward myself.
“Everyone, calm down and go into the church now.”
.

“Joa, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for visiting here in person. My name is Trian, an elder of Joa Church. Ha ha ha.”
