【’Raging Sea’ looks at the user with disapproving eyes.】

【’Sun Risen from Death’ raises a finger, asking how dare you glare at my Holy Maiden like that.】

【’Raging Sea’ breaks the finger trying to poke at their eyes.】

【’Sun Risen from Death’ sneers that it doesn’t even hurt because you’re so weak.】

【’Raging Sea’ charges forward, threatening to break their neck.】

【’Traveler Guiding Souls’ clicks their tongue, saying these so-called gods have no dignity, and takes out some snacks.】

“….”

White, blue, and black message windows alternately flashed before my eyes.

Dominic’s face sitting across from me was barely visible through the system windows.

System, please, couldn’t you make an ON/OFF function for the communication skill?

【The user’s earnest wish has been registered with the system.】

【Confirmed that the user’s stress level is considerably high. This function will be upgraded soon to ensure the user’s smooth activities.】

Thank you, system. You’re the only one on my side right now.

【’Sun Risen from Death’ hurriedly comes to their senses at the warning about the user’s high stress level.】

【Frantically covers ‘Raging Sea’s’ mouth, telling them to be quiet and stop making noise.】

【’Raging Sea’ is….】

Fortunately, they seemed to have covered it well, as the endless stream of messages finally stopped.

“…If Jeremy isn’t your purpose, then why did you come here?”

I asked Dominic, whose face was finally visible again.

“Haven’t you received any revelations from God, Holy Maiden?”

“Revelations?”

What revelations, you mean the Annihilation God mocking your god along with mine?

There’s nothing else besides that.

“Regarding the Holy War.”

…Holy War?

That’s what they called the war against ‘Evil’ in the original story, isn’t it?

Why is that coming from Dominic’s mouth?

【’Sun Risen from Death’ is shocked by the Sea God’s Holy Sage’s statement.】

【Laments, asking if he’s lost his mind to say such a thing.】

Seeing the Sun God’s surprise, this situation definitely doesn’t seem normal.

【’Raging Sea’ irritably says they only told him to prepare for the Holy War. They claim they couldn’t say a single word about when the Holy War would happen or what the enemy would do.】

It’s not that he didn’t say it, but that he couldn’t.

So the Sea God has restrictions too.

But I, a mere human, don’t have such restrictions.

I just can’t hear divine secrets, but there’s no problem with telling others what I know.

How can I do what even gods cannot?

【’Sun Risen from Death’ says it’s because you are a ‘user’ who came from outside this world. Therefore, this world’s restrictions are relatively weak on you.】

In other words, it’s a possession buff.

But then why are there restrictions on hearing divine secrets?

【That question falls under divine secrets. The answer to that question….】

As soon as the annoying message appeared, I immediately dismissed the window.

“What does that Holy War have to do with us that you came here?”

“He told me to follow the light. I thought the Sun God’s Main Temple was already preparing for the Holy War.”

【’Raging Sea’ gazes intently at the Rubar region.】

Ha! He sent Dominic here because of the holy stones!

The most important thing when preparing for war is weapons!

Especially the Sea God is a deity specialized in attacks among the three main gods.

Naturally, he would desperately need weapons made from high-purity holy stones.

“I understand why God led you to this place, Holy Sage.”

I smiled brightly at Dominic, very, very brightly.

Dominic flinched and trembled.

“Hahaha, indeed God knows everything. To send you here at such a perfect time.”

“…Are you saying the Sun God’s Main Temple was really preparing for the Holy War?”

“Why do you think we suddenly sought revival? It’s because our power will be greatly needed soon.”

As they say, it can be an earring if hung on the ear, or a nose ring if hung on the nose.

I can’t miss this opportunity. This way, those guys will think we know a lot and follow us.

But before that, I need to settle some accumulated grudges, don’t I?

“There’s only one reason the Sea God led you to this place, Holy Sage.”

“What is it?”

“Holy stones.”

“…What?”

“We possess an enormous amount of holy stones.”

Dominic was shocked. I enjoyed watching his face.

“Holy stones…? Wait, then what the workers were moving with carts…?”

“Ah, you already saw? That’s right. Those are all holy stones. The temple’s storehouse is so full of holy stones that we need to expand it.”

Dominic shot up from his seat.

“Wh-where on earth did you get such a quantity of holy stones….”

“It’s my personal land.”

His face immediately crumbled.

If it had been someone else’s land, he would have found some way to get a share, but my land was absolutely impossible.

Unless you ask me, you won’t get even a fingernail-sized holy stone.

“…To think you own land with holy stone deposits, how impressive.”

“I’m quite something.”

When I smiled brightly, Dominic sat back down heavily with a dejected face.

I could feel his anguish from the way he covered his face with his palms.

But the contemplation was brief.

“The Sun God’s Main Temple won’t monopolize all those holy stones, will they?”

“Of course not. As you already know, we’ve formed an alliance with the Temple of the Annihilation God. We’ve agreed to share with them too.”

But you’re not our allies. There’s no reason to share with you.

Understanding my meaning, Dominic bit his lips.

“What must I do for you?”

“You’re very reasonable, Holy Sage. The previous visitor was like that too.”

I reached behind me. Jeremy, who had been standing quietly as if present yet absent, leaned his face against my palm as if he’d been waiting.

Sembeus, who had come to take Jeremy.

At the mention of that bastard, Dominic’s face contorted.

“You want money.”

“Money is one thing I want.”

“…What else do you want?”

I turned my head to look at Jeremy, who was nuzzling his cheek against my hand.

The child whose condition had improved incomparably from when I first saw him.

“I want Jeremy’s complete freedom.”

Wherever Jeremy goes, whatever he does, don’t interfere.

Don’t even think about binding him with divine power.

This was more important than money.

“Holy Maiden….”

Not expecting me to make such a demand, Jeremy’s pink eyes trembled finely.

Soon he embraced me tightly. His arms were trembling slightly.

“…As you already know, he has the Sea God’s divine power dwelling within him. Even if I wanted to give him freedom, it’s impossible unless God permits it.”

Really? Then get that permission right now.

【’Raging Sea’ grabs ‘Sun Risen from Death’ by the collar and shakes him, saying your Holy Maiden is annoying.】

【He even grabs ‘Traveler Guiding Souls’ by the collar, asking why on earth they brought such a soul.】

【’Sun Risen from Death’ and ‘Traveler Guiding Souls’ give thumbs up together, saying that bringing the user was truly an excellent choice.】

【’Raging Sea’ throws both gods simultaneously in anger.】

My, what a temper.

So you won’t give permission? If you don’t, I’ll just leave the Temple of the Sea God to collapse or whatever?

【’Raging Sea’ grabs the back of his neck, asking how dare you threaten this god. He stomps away saying if he stays here any longer, he won’t die a natural death.】

【’Sun Risen from Death’ looks at the user fondly, saying that’s as good as permission so you can do whatever you want.】

“Gods have no choice. But if it’s not a god’s command, never forcibly drag Jeremy away again.”

“If you need a verbal promise. From now on, the Temple of the Sea God will swear before the Sea God in the name of Holy Sage Dominic Aria that we will not oppress Jeremy Calse.”

Dominic raised his hand and boldly made the oath.

He probably made such a bold oath before the god believing that if the Sea God commands it, such promises would all be useless anyway.

Foolish Dominic.

Not knowing I’ve already reached an agreement with the Sea God.

“Good. Then shall we talk about the price of the sacred stones now?”

Let’s see. Considering what these guys have done to our Sun God’s Main Temple all this time…

“The price of the sacred stones will be twice the usual amount.”

I boldly held up two fingers.

“Twice! Sacred stones are already expensive…”

Dominic’s face, which had been relaxed when making the oath, completely changed.

At his fierce expression, I shrugged my shoulders.

“Our Grand Temple is very poor, you see. No matter how much we earn, it’s never enough. But the Temple of the Sea God has plenty of money, right?”

“Even so, this is tyranny!”

“Then you won’t buy them? I understand.”

I have nothing to lose.

“That’s…”

Dominic stopped mid-sentence and bit his lip.

Right, you can’t give up even if it’s expensive, can you? Especially after receiving a divine warning that war will break out soon.

“Ah! By the way, the contract fee of 10,000 gold is separate.”

Before that, pay up the 1 billion first.

“…”

Now Dominic couldn’t say anything at all.

Haha, do you know how long I’ve waited for this day? I absolutely can’t let this slide.

【’Raging Sea’ who has returned looks at the user with incredulous eyes.】

Well, who told you to go around doing bad things?

I smiled brightly at the Sea God and Dominic.
