People who saw my strength bowed down and prayed, calling me Kishatriya. Even just moments ago, the guard soldiers who were aiming their spears were trembling or lowering their heads and confessing their mistakes, as if they didn’t know what to do about the rudeness they had committed.

The same goes for the guard captain called Ashuna. He wasn’t as restless as the other soldiers, but he at least put down his spear and apologized to me.

“Please forgive my rudeness, O Kishatriya!!!!”

There’s still a lot we don’t know, but it’s worth taking advantage of their illusions. If you get caught, you’ll be ruined, but you just have to be careful not to get caught, and even if you get caught, you can handle it with force, so there’s no problem.

I acted like an arrogant and arrogant person and started talking condescendingly to the guard captain. First, let’s start by dealing with the situation where you have been falsely accused.

“I originally wanted to stay quiet because I didn’t like noise and noise, but it ended up like this. So, did you say I’m Ashuna? Do you think I’m Gianna?”

“No!!!! How could Kishatriya, who received the grace of the great warrior Aksha and gained strength incomparable to that of an ordinary human being, be Jiana? If you are angry because my eyes are wrong, you can just pull out my eyes. Please forgive the others!!!”

No, I wasn’t trying to go that far. But what did these Kishatriyas do to get such a reaction?

And what? Aksha, the great fighting god? It looks like it’s one of the gods here, so let’s remember its name. Since religious conflict is the main topic, it must be an important keyword.

Anyway, I felt bad about this incident, but if there is anyone who deserves to be punished here, there is only one person. Then, I telekinetically dragged the inn owner who was hiding in the corner of the inn.

People gasped at that sight! I was shocked and ignored it and urged him to spit out the truth. Of course, with a little threat added.

“Confess your sins.”

“Key, Kishatriya…”

“Did you think you could fool me? Otherwise, you’re going to have to be an asshole and spit it out?”

Since you really have the power and position to do something, threats are effective. I wanted to make him a half-asshole, but I held back because I could always do that later.

The innkeeper, shaking, confessed what he had done. It seems like we’re not the first, and we’ve done quite a bit so far.

“They placed pagan wooden statues in the rooms of visitors and drove them to Gianna.”

“So?”

“After that, when he died or was expelled from the village, I stole the traveler’s property. I’m sorry, Kishatriya!!!!”

False accusation. That’s what they did to Kishatriya (Gura) whom they reverence.

The villagers’ complexions hardened at that fact. If you listen to the guard captain’s comment about plucking out his eyes, it doesn’t seem like the Kishatriyas did anything right, but they realized that if they did so, many people would die, if not annihilate the village.

“What should I do with you guys? It wasn’t just rude, you dared to put me down.”

“…”

There is silence. The only sound it makes is the sound of someone swallowing.

I also wondered what to do about the current situation. First, the inn owner is George, and it looks like there are people among the guards who sympathized with him by eating together. Those guys are also George… Hmm?

Among the silent people, there is only one person who does not bow his head. Mavila stood proudly, looking straight at me.

Hmm, I want to build a good relationship, so why not score some points? Looking at it, the ratna she had been treated to was not sold or sold in this town, so if she wanted to ask about it, she had better buy some favors.

“Do you have something to say, Gianna?”

“If there is a dispute between us and someone who is not Gianna, the punishment will depend on the other party’s opinion. So I just hope that you will be treated mercifully.”

“Mercy… Well, that would be good too.”

I asked the guard captain, Ashuna, about the laws of this village. Even if mercy is mercy, there are clearly people who have committed sins, so they must be punished. Mercy means adding to the punishment a sinner deserves, not taking away the punishment itself.

“What about the punishment for cheaters in this town?”

“They cut off one of your wrists, confiscate all your property, and drive you out of the village.”

“Then do it. There will also be soldiers who sympathized with him, so punish them as well. If you do that, I will not see any more bloodshed.”

“Yes…?”

It looks like these Kishatriya guys are really on the way out. First, I was surprised by the fact that no one died, so I questioned myself.

If you make a bad excuse here, you will actually be suspected. So, convince them with an appropriate excuse.

“And remember. You saved the life of Gianna, whom you despised so much. Just killing her is a simple matter, as it only takes a moment, but living with the shame will be a long time of suffering. Try to live with that shame for once. .”

“… Yes, I understand.”

The villagers looked at Mavila with a subtle expression that was difficult to describe. I’m grateful, but I feel like I can’t express it. What should I say… I feel like I got help from a bug that I used to step on and kill instead of paying attention to it?

Well, that would be the right punishment for them. Those memories will last a lifetime and will have an impact on other Giannas who visit here in the future.

After that, the work was roughly finished. They capture not only the inn owner but also the soldiers who sympathized with him, cut off his wrists, and chased him out of the village. Since they were kicked out of the village without an arm, the only options left were either to survive among themselves or to die.

Become a bandit? Hey, I don’t think anyone can become a bandit. Who would be so leisurely as to accept a man with his wrists cut off as a bandit? I would rather accept a guy with a blind eye and not a guy with a broken wrist.

After the incident was roughly concluded, we received a warm welcome. I tried to please myself as much as possible by being treated to various things that I had not seen at the village market.

“I caught a chicken this time. I hope you enjoy it.”

“These are newly picked raspberries. They’re fresh, so they’ll be delicious.”

Daewoo is very different. Although it is only a rural village, I can feel that their treatment is the same as they would treat someone of a higher rank. That’s how abnormal the gap in this world became felt.

Rather than being treated with fear or reverence, I am more concerned about the religion of Mabila, who was called Jiana and ostracized. On the other hand, since we have a rough understanding of this side, it is time to figure out the other side.

Anyway, I get some treatment. Even if I outright refused material things like money, I accepted some food or something and prepared to leave. Of course, when he tried to leave, he tried to dissuade him, but he wasn’t that proactive.

“Kishatriya, I can’t believe you’re already leaving… I’m sad that I wasn’t able to treat you properly.”

“If there is a meeting, there is a separation. I also have a place to go, so I can’t just stay here. So the time has come, so I must leave.”

At the same time, I glanced at Mavila. Due to the situation, he was unable to escape and was held here during our stay.

Even if I go, I have to take him with me. For no reason, it seems like something good will happen if you bring something that is not an Easter egg of the Absolute Creator. So, all you have to do is take him there, find out various things, and take action.

“I will take that Gianna with me. Are you dissatisfied?”

“Who can complain? Please do as you .”

Thanks to this, it wasn’t that difficult for me, Mary, and Mavila to leave the village. And when I was a little far away from the village and couldn’t see anything, I started talking to Mavila.

He might not have noticed it at first, but after a night, he noticed it too. Perhaps, even though they are different, the priests of the gods can recognize each other. They knew that I was not a Kishatriya.

“You must have noticed it slowly, isn’t there something you’re curious about?”

“Yes, I was confused and didn’t know at first, but as time went by, I realized. You cannot feel the blessings of Aksha, the great fighting spirit, so you are not Kishatriya. But that power is…”

“It is not a power received from God, but a power honed by the individual. Is it difficult to accept it?”

“No. There is no reason to lie, so it must be true. Then, perhaps your wife?”

“Well, that’s right.”

We had to say that we came from another world, which was difficult to accept in this place where the level of civilization was still low, but regardless, Mavila was quick to adapt. It seems like he has a more flexible personality than I thought.

“Mary lost her family due to religious issues…”

“It was a long time ago, but it was still something I remembered. I heard that religious problems were occurring here again, so I couldn’t just ignore it, so I decided to visit this world.”

“I don’t know what impact your visit will have on this world, but at least I will welcome you two. It’s only a brief relationship, but you helped me…”

“You helped her first. She even revealed that she was Gianna. She may not have to repay all good deeds, but shouldn’t she at least prevent those who do good deeds from being treated unfairly?”

“That is correct.”

Mary quickly became friends with Mavila through her unique resourcefulness. In doing so, we find out the information we need.

Of course, he belongs to one of the two conflicting religions here. Therefore, there is no guarantee that the facts he says are true, and he may be biased to one side, so you have to listen carefully, but at least you can get some basic knowledge.

“There are two Lords in our world. One is Aksha, the great warrior, and the other is Rakesha, my loving mother.”

“Then it seems that the person who serves Aksha is called Kishatriya, and the person who serves Rakesha is called Jiana.”

“The difference is that if we believe in Rakesha, we are all called Jiana, while Kishatriyas are those who are blessed by Aksha and use powers that ordinary people cannot exert. Other than them, most of us are laymen.”

“Mr. Mavila, it seems you have received the blessings of Lakesha. Can you give me some insight?”

“It’s a small power compared to those of you who have transcended humans… But please wait a moment.”

Marville had a nut in her pocket, but she took out one of her little seeds, dug it in her ground, and planted it. And as she puts her hands together and focuses her mind as if praying, the divine power of God is unleashed.

The power of the gods here, felt for the first time, was quite warm and cozy. There are differences in divine power depending on the god’s divinity or disposition, and looking at this, the god Rakesha seemed to be a gentle god, just like the name of a benevolent mother.

I don’t know if it’s possible, but there’s no way that something fundamental to God called divine power could deceive my senses. There’s no unpleasant feeling, so I guess it’s just the same.

Anyway, the seeds infused with divine power began to grow quickly. Although it is not large, it grows to at least the size of a person’s waist, and soon it begins to bear fruit. After a while, the fruit grew bigger than my fist, and although its shape was a little different, it smelled like the ratna I had eaten before.

After picking her ripe fruit, Mavila split the hard shell of her fruit with a small dagger. When you look at it, it looks like a coconut and its outer shell seems to be made of fiber.

“This is Ratna, a gracious tree bestowed upon us by our benevolent mother. It grows in her nature too, but grows even faster when we use her powers.”

“Oh, this is it.”

Coconuts have a hard inner shell inside a fibrous shell, but ratna has just flesh inside the fibrous shell. The flesh was the brown ratna we ate.

“The peel can be ripped off and made into rope or clothes, and the flesh can be eaten raw, and the oil can be squeezed out… It is a precious fruit that gives many things.”

“Wow, it’s amazing.”

“It’s a great fruit.”

No, it was a coveted item just for its taste, but it was also an item with infinite uses, right? I’d like to get some seeds later.

Since it grows in nature, there is no need to worry about raising it. When I go back, I have Keter, so it might be a good idea to leave it to me to raise it. Since it is a plant, the flesh is rich in protein like soybeans, so vegetarians like it, so we can appeal to that and revitalize farms… No, why am I thinking about work while on vacation?

“But if I had this ability, I wouldn’t be persecuted by people.”

“Ah… There are different gods that serve each other, but we Jianas are much weaker. Unlike the Kishatriyas, who exert power beyond ordinary people even if we use them with the same blessings from the gods, we just don’t get tired, and we don’t get tired like ordinary people. Because it’s the same.”

“Hmm?”

“It means you can run or work for a long time, but you have no fighting ability.”

No, that’s really beyond common sense?

If you can handle divine power, you inevitably have some kind of combat skill using it. Because there are often paladins along with clerics and priests. But what does it mean for a guy who knows how to use divine power to have no means of self-defense?

I think we need to find out more to resolve the religious conflict here. So, it would be a good idea to accompany Mavila for a while.

“Where are you going Mr. Mabila?”

“I am heading to the north. There is a sacred place for the Giannas there.”

It was the moment when the destination of our trip was decided.
