Tensei Kizoku no Isekai Boukenroku ~ Jichou wo Shiranai Kamigami no Shito ~ The Rebirth of the Reincarnated Nobility - Chapter 19
The morning sun shone through the stained glass windows into the cathedral. The hall had a high ceiling and was large enough to hold several hundred people at the same time.
In the center was the creator god, with three statues of gods on each side. The statues were more magnificent than any other church, over five meters tall.
And there were four of them kneeling at the altar in front of the magnificent statues.
“I don’t know if we can all go. You just have to understand that.”
Hinata, Cardinal Dentor, and Bishop Harnum nodded at Cain’s words.
The world turned white as they all clasped their hands in prayer.
“So you’re here after all.”
“Yes, I had some things I wanted to discuss with you.”
Cain replied to Zenom’s words. When he turned around, there was Hinata alone – in a state of prayer.
Cain sighs, wondering if Bishop Harnum and Cardinal Dentor were still impossible.
“Hinata, stand up and come here.”
Cain’s words made Hinata open her eyes and she stood up as if in a panic, realizing that she was in the Hall of the Gods.
“It’s been a while.”
Hinata and Cain both took a seat.
“I’ve heard the conversation between the four of you. But that doesn’t mean we can’t invite all four of you here. You have to understand that.”
They nodded at Zenom’s words.
“Cain, Zenom-sama doesn’t say it in words, but it takes a certain amount of divine power just to call one Cain here. Cain and Hinata have a good affinity with the gods, so I can manage to call up to two of them, but if I call up four, it will consume a good amount. Besides, those two are still lacking in rank.”
Rime begins to explain on Zenom’s behalf. When he heard that it consumed more than using all the magic power of the entire world’s population to call one Cain to the God’s World, Cain was indeed afraid.
“I understand. I’m sorry for being unreasonable. More importantly, let’s get down to business. I have told him what Master Raim told me. However, Cardinal Dentar’s faction is the smallest, and we cannot expect him to win the vote.”
“It’s Cain. Why should you care about the vote count? All we have to do is overturn them.”
“When I say overturn, I mean …….”
No matter what Cain and Hinata actually said, it wouldn’t change the vote. Kain thinks about what he needs to do to turn everything upside down.
“You’re bothering me, ……. It’s simple. Cain… and Hinata… that’s why it’s not working.”
“………… Ah.”
Hinata raised her voice as if she had noticed Zenom’s words.
“Hinata?”
“Cain-sama, it’s no good because it’s me and Cain-sama. What if it’s–what if it’s the words of a saint and an apostle of God?”
“…… That’s right!”
Cain also noticed Hinata’s words. Saying it as Hinata and Cain would only be one person’s ramblings. But if it was said as a saint and an apostle of God, then everyone would have no choice but to agree.
The Marineford Church in particular worships the seven pillars of God. If it is the word of that apostle, Cain understands that it should be a priority over factions.
“But how can we get them to understand that we’re God’s apostles? ……”
“I know about that too. Here, bring it out quickly.”
Zenom urged, and Grimm, the god of skill, placed two robes and a jewel on the table.
“I’ll give you this. This is–“
Hearing how to use it from Grim, Cain tucked it away in the item box.
“Oh, right. I’ll give you this as well.”
Zenom held up his right hand, and the palm of his hand glowed, revealing a single mask. It covered his eyes and nose, with a hole only where his eye would be.
“If you wear this mask, it will automatically change your voice. You can’t reveal your face to the public if you’re an apostle.”
“Thank you for your help. I can manage this …….”
“Well then. Since we’re about to have a new Pope, ……. —- would be better this way.”
Zenom and the gods smiled at him, but Cain could only chuckle.
When Cain turned next to her, Hinata had a happy expression on her face.
(That’s really embarrassing ……. Can you do that? ……)
“I’m looking forward to watching you from here. Cain, you understand, don’t you?”
“………… Yes. I’ll do my best …… as much as I can.”
Cain nodded as if he had given up.
“I think it’s time to go. You’re in good hands, both of you.”
At the same time as Zenom’s words, their vision went dark.
They found themselves praying at an altar. Cain and Hinata stood up at the same time.
Noticing this, Cardinal Dentor and Bishop Harnum also interrupted their prayers.
“…… How did it go?”
Cain smiled and nodded to Cardinal Dentor, who asked fearfully.
“I’ve met with the gods. It seems they have a lot of restrictions and couldn’t invite the two of you.”
They looked disappointed, but regained their composure when Cain and Hinata’s expressions were bright.
“I’m sure we’ll be fine. The gods are watching over us.”
They all nodded at Hinata’s words.
