I Have Supported My Favorite Character for 10 Years - Chapter 41



41. I am not a judge

***

Rattle rattle—

A dark-colored truck with the rear compartment completely covered by a curtain moved forward roughly on the unpaved road.

The destination is Meln in the northwest.

The back compartment of the truck was dark and damp.

It was full of children’s sobs.

“Hmm…” .”

But unlike the church, there was no one to wipe away their tears.

The children also knew that fact well.

I had to force myself to hold back my tears.

Because they weren’t the only ones in this space.

“I told you not to make a sound.”

A man took out a sword wrapped in his magic.

The man’s name is Behemon.

Outwardly, he is a believer of Joahism.

However, he was a back street gangster who took orders from Elder Trian.

What he does is ‘steal away believers from the slums.’

Pretty children from the slums who are likely to have sponsors are first imprisoned.

Then, when the children have a sponsor, they steal the donation money every time they receive it.

He ran his thumb over his scar-filled cheek.

He spoke as if he was preaching to children.

“Even if you cry and pray like that, Benongat won’t care about the prayers of people from the slums like you.”

Because I was like that too.

“Ah, there is one way.”

Behemon spoke coldly and placed his hand over the mouth of the crying child sitting in front of him.

The child was completely frozen with fear.

“They are born pretty like you.”

Behemon grabbed the corner of her mouth with both hands.

Then I forcefully pulled it up.

“But, crying after being born pretty is of no use…” .”

Behemon stopped talking, opened his eyes and shouted.

“Do you understand?!!”

“Hmm… !”

“If you want to get Benongat’s attention, smile. Don’t cry, smile!! You have to smile so sponsors will like you. Only then can you receive the attention of great people. “I’m asking you if you heard what I said!!”

The child was completely frightened and could not say anything.

She just shook her whole body and instinctively nodded her head.

Behemon touched the sharp purple blade of the blade to the child’s cheek as if that didn’t matter.

“Anyway, in the world, you either become a contractor who receives the attention of sponsors, or you become leftover trash. Especially for people from the slums like us. “Prayer is useless.”

He forcibly lifted the corner of her child’s mouth again.

“So, if you want to become the future Azel and Xena, smile. Smile. Smile!! Smile!!”

***

“Joa, this is Elder Trian, who leads our church and has contributed to spreading your word.”

“I believe that Joah will like Trian. He is a man of good character and has devoted himself to the church for a long time.”

With a loud noise, a person wearing dazzling priestly clothes appeared.

[Joagyo Elder Trian]

“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.”

[As I heard, he looks like a tiger. Although he is a god… He looks quite young….]

He said with a smile. It seems like he has a pretty good reputation around him.

But, I didn’t receive his smile.

From noble mtl dot com

Even if that was his first thought-

[Then you will never get caught. Children who will already become products have been left behind….]

‘Children who will become products’… ?

His thoughts were quite different from those I had just met in front of the church.

[Because Behemon’s work will be handled with certainty.]

The people in the church were nuns, children, and adults, all of whom were filled with faith and thoughts about me.

However, as expected, there are various people in the world.

“Yes, nice to meet you.”

It didn’t show itself right away. She forced a smile.

Just by looking at the thoughts of ‘kids who will become products’ or ‘they are sure to get things done,’ even a passing dog can guess that something quite dark and shady is going on behind the scenes.

However, the only information I have right now is that ‘children are being used as products in some way.’

We must understand exactly what kind of situation the ‘children who have become products’ are in.

[Why is your expression like this?]

“This church and all facilities of Joa Church belong to Joa. You can feel free to look around. hahahaha.”

“I understand. However…. “I heard that there are many children among the Choa Church believers, but I don’t see many of them?”

Actually, there were enough children that I saw outside. But I asked just to have a sneak peek.

I remember Azel smiling brightly and talking about children.

In particular, it was said that most of the children from the slums, where Azel grew up and whom he saved, were believers of the Christian Church.

If something happened to the children who listened to me and believed in me –

I never stay still.

“hahahaha, there are many churches other than here that follow Joahism.”

[Tch, I thought there were enough children left. I guess I’ll have to airlift it from somewhere else.]

Elder Trian is definitely a figure who should not be in our religion. Aside from accurately determining the truth-

His thoughts completely treat children as objects.

“Oh, is that so? “Where else is it?”

“Hmm, there are also areas like Brian in the east and Kelio in the south… As you know, there are people all over the world who want to hear Joa’s words, so it would be difficult to say where they are. hahahaha. Wouldn’t it be good to spread Joa’s words widely? Ha ha ha.”

[I ordered it to be moved to Meln in the northwest…. It would be correct to subtly lead them to the east or south.]

“Meln in the northwest?”

“Yes? What is that…. Oh, that’s right hahahaha. In Meln in the northwest, there are children of Jo A-gyo….”

[You must not show any signs of embarrassment. I don’t know why they mentioned Meln, but you can just ignore it.]

Elder Trian acted as naturally as possible and looked around.

However, the fortune of heaven did not pass.

Cheonwoon always scratched the back of his head with a burdened expression. Because of this, Trian viewed him as having a ‘guy-like personality.’

But at this moment, his expression was different.

Cheonun grabbed Elder Trian’s neck with one hand.

“Wow… ! Go, suddenly… why….”

Kugugugugugugugu—

Incredible divine power filled the air of space.

The saints, priests, and children of the church all looked embarrassed.

From their perspective, Cheonun’s actions were too sudden.

“Jo, Joa?”

“”Sorry! Sorry!””

The children repeatedly said they were sorry without even knowing what was happening.

Cheonun spoke to Azel first.

“Azel, take the kids and go outside. If you can, give them a real buff.”

“Yes? Yes!”

After that, he spoke to the saint and the priests.

“I will arrest this person. Priests, please summon the priests of the Choa Church. “Is there an organization in JoAgyo that deals with criminals?”

“Well, there are interrogators….”

“Then please call them. “We’re heading northwest to Meln.”

***

The truck carrying the children ran and ran until it reached Meln, a suburb in the northwest.

Meln was quiet and had a low population density, but it was home to numerous factory sites that operated magic engineering.

The truck stopped at a factory site.

Behemon generated magical power and lit the light in the compartment behind him.

“From now on, the people I nominate will go out one by one. Did you understand?”

“Hmm….”

“Did you understand?”

“Yes, yes.”

“You there, you are A. Go to A.”

Behemon took out a chart and began classifying the children into grades.

The standard for grading is appearance.

He sent out the truck one by one, from the children with the highest probability of being chosen by the sponsor to the children with the lowest probability of being chosen by the sponsor.

Outside, his colleagues got off the front of the truck.

They pulled the children down one by one and dragged them to the room appropriate for their grade.

“You there! You….”

At that time, Behemon was working on classification.

A loud noise was heard from somewhere.

Quaaa~~

… What?

Hearing a loud noise, Behemon slightly opened the door of the truck and looked outside.

A dazzling golden light appeared before his eyes.

In the golden future….

“aaahhh… !”

The elder he served, ‘Trian’, was rolling around on the floor in a panic.

Trian is an elder of Joa Church. He has a status no different from that of a ‘priest.’

No matter how much the king was, he couldn’t treat him like this.

In other words, the person who threw Trian down now is one person.

“… Is it true? “They’re trash.”

When Cheonun came out with a cold expression, Behemon shouted urgently.

“Well, I don’t know!”

[Behimon! You won’t become a snitch, right?]

“It doesn’t matter if you leave it out. “You are all subject to death.”

Cheonun did not hide his divinity at all. A feeling that the air in the area is completely paralyzed.

When Behe Mon also faced him directly, he felt fear and awe.

It was difficult to understand the exact situation.

But I knew one thing for sure.

“Huh, huh….”

He will face death and life.

Behemon has completely hardened and peed his pants.

Elder Trian put his all into acting.

“It’s unfair! “I have no knowledge of these wicked and ruthless scum!”

“What are you talking about? You are the biggest fan of these guys.”

“Zu, do you have any evidence? “I swear to Benongat, no, I swear to you, I don’t know these people at all!”

There is no evidence anyway.

The ledger was burned a long time ago.

That was Elder Trian’s thought.

But.

He had one thing wrong.

“Hey, you’re misunderstanding something, but I’m not a judge.”

I-

“He is your god.”
