CH 369
While Takumi and the group were planning out the honeymoon trip, the guests who attended the wedding and the reception had sustained tremendous shock.
That was no different for King Valkyra and King Lomaria who had visited the Sanctuary previously. As for King Yggurle, he could not see what was around him because he could only see the Great Spirits in front of him.
Seeing the Great Spirits lined up, he must have sensed the depth of the connection between the Sanctuary and Takumi once more.
And above all, that phenomenon, the descent of Goddess Norn, the Goddess of Creation. When Takumi had received not only the Great Spirits’ but also Goddess Norn’s blessing, the Kings and Prime Ministers were at their wits end pondering that influence.
That also include the cathedral-like church that appeared in the Sanctuary. The never before seen majestic exterior, and the eye captivating stained glass upon entry.
In this world, plain colored glass used as stained glass existed. However, the stained glass they saw in the church of the Sanctuary was an entirely special case as it made the existing ones seem like child’s play.
「That can’t be shown to the officials of the Genesis Faith.」
「Just thinking about it makes me shiver.」
There was a summit meeting because the three Kings and Prime Ministers would normally not have the opportunity to gather in one place, but King Valkyra and King Lomaria had a shared realization that the religious officials should not be told about the cathedral in the Sanctuary nor that Goddess Norn had descended to grant her blessings. Only King Yggurle was thinking if it was possible if he could somehow retire at the Sanctuary. Of course, Prime Minister Balza shot him an icy look.
King Valkyra and King Lomaria’s worries were simple, if the officials of the Genesis Faith were to know of the Sanctuary’s church, they surmised that they would wish for a similar church.
Originally, the churches of the Genesis Faith were practically buildings constructed plainly and simply, and the church in the Royal Capital was no different. That’s because their doctrine is that if they have the money to build a gorgeous building, then they should use it to save people.
「That exudes more majesty than extravagance, a building worthy to be the church of the Goddess.」
「The exterior is magnificent, but knowing the stained glass inside, they would most certainly want it in the church of the Royal Capital.」
「It is not only the building. The stained glass depicting the images of the Great Spirits and Goddess Norn, as well as the degree of perfection of Goddess Norn’s statue…… the Great Spirits reside in the Sanctuary, so accuracy of their drawn image was understandable, but I must have an explanation for the how perfect the statue of Goddess Norn is.」
Lomaria Kingdom’s Prime Minister Drehd and Valkyra Kingdom’s Prime Minister Simon were stating that the church officials should not be informed of the majestic but not pompous church. However, Yggurle Kingdom’s Prime Minister Balza had a different realization from the two.
The phenomenon where light that gathered on Goddess Norn’s statue could only be thought of as the descent of Goddess Norn. However, what Balza noticed was that the appearance of the descended Norn was exactly as depicted on the stained glass of the church and the statue enshrined at the front.
「I have seen statues and paintings of Norn-sama in, of course in our country’s Genesis Church, Valkyra Kingdom, Lomaria Kingdom, and Samandour Kingdom’s churches. However, they were all completely different from the statue and paintings in the Sanctuary.」
「……certainly, the Goddess Statues in the churches of our country and Lomaria’s are different.」
「……then, could it be that the person who made the Sanctuary’s statue and stained glass knew the appearance of the Goddess?」
Balza’s question led to Simon and Drehd to think as well.
「Well, if the Great Spirits were the one who made that church’s statues and stained glass, then it would not be strange for them to reproduce the image of Goddess Norn, but……」
「「…………」」
Though Balza spoke of another possibility, Simon and Drehd said nothing more. The reason being that they knew who built majority of the structures in the Sanctuary.
On the other hand, the three Kings understood that the person who created the church had some sort of connection to Goddess Norn. And that person was Takumi. However, the Kings’ issue was that the moment the magnificence of the church in the Sanctuary were to leak to the church officials, they would demand for a similar church in their capitals, at the very least.
「We do not have the budget with the war with Triaria and the revival of the former Sydnia.」
「The same goes for us. Our economy is on the rise, but the former Sydnia is far more of a burden than expected.」
「Our nation is situated far from the former Sydnia and is only able to provide monetary aid, but it is still not easy.」
Yes, they do not have the budget to build a cathedralesque church.
The Genesis Faith was a remarkably respectable organization as a religious organization, and aside from the minimal maintenance costs, all of the offerings and monetary assistance from the country went towards the operational expenses of the orphanage and helping the poor. That’s why many of the church buildings were built with the budget of the state, and they couldn’t tell the church should pay for the construction because it was a church building.
「Could we get it to be built cheaply?」
The sighs of the three kings overlapped.
The recent boom in the economy had improved the financial situation of each country, but the negative inheritance, namely the war with Triaria and the collapse of former Sydnia, had held them back.
In the end, they went to Mimir who had come from the Sanctuary to visit the Queen to ask her to ask if they could commission for the construction of the churches for a low cost, and……
「Eh, Takumi-sama? They’re leaving for a trip with everyone. I also wanted to come along, but as you may have expected, I had to refrain from doing so.」
「…………」
The Kings decided that they would hide the information regarding the church built in the Sanctuary by any means necessary.
