Certainly, here’s the faithful translation of the provided text:
"Of course, I didn’t lie."
"Do people call it 'foreign news'?"
"Did you make a contract?"
"Were they the first to make a contract?"
"This side is a bit dangerous. Anyway, I don’t think of myself as a god, but I don’t think of myself as human either."
"If I were a god, I would have had some incredible powers. If I said 'let there be light,' light would appear, and I would be able to do whatever I thought of and enjoy it. At the very least, I’d have enough power to put someone under that kind of sleep."
"But I am not like that."
"Originally, I’m cold and suffering, so how could I be a god? How can I not even obtain warmth?"
"But if necessary, I pretend to be a god."
"They even call it a capitalist smile, right?"
"If I can get warmth, I can lick the ground like a dog."
"This time, I have to protect Hyungkeshni, so I’m forced to take risks. Otherwise, why would I claim to be a god?"
"I’d rather choose to drift by like a useless person."
"Most of the blessed people here are looking at me. Only a very few are looking at the soldiers or, with very somber expressions, sitting on the ground and staring at Hyungkeshni."
"I heard that grandfather’s special power came from a god he received it from. Are you the god who gave grandfather the power?"
A middle-aged man asks me.
"Hmm? Didn’t he know me as a servant of the god?"
For a moment, I skimmed through Tis-ha’s memories. Ah, I see. Later on, people who received my blessings all called me 'foreign news,' so they must have thought I was a god.
"I gave him the blessing."
I should have said I was a god, but it doesn’t come out easily, as if it gets stuck in my throat. I really seem to dislike being a god."
"But he converted to our Lord. Why do you appear now? You left him alone when he believed in another god, didn’t you?"
Conversion, huh.
Now that I think about it, that’s right.
"So did I regain my powers? I gave Tis-ha part of myself and made a contract with him, saying I would take everything when he finished what he had to do. And now that he’s dead, I’ve come to collect what’s mine."
I stretched out my arm and pointed to the sky.
"But something interfered from above. So, I’m asking you. Is that right?"
I subtly changed the reason I appeared in this world.
I appeared here to question right and wrong.
Actually, that’s not true. I wanted warmth, but I got annoyed and drained the warmth from everyone here. Then, by chance, I had an opportunity to come here, so I came."
"From the beginning to the end, nothing I’ve done was planned. Everything was a coincidence, an accident."
"So now I’m racking my brain here."
The middle-aged man in front of me is Tis-ha’s grandson and the current king of this country.
Considering that I had just blessed them and made them close their eyes, it seems I could control them, but that would be a last resort.
That could easily turn into the blessed ones versus the Ansellus Kingdom. So if rumors spread that those blessed by me are dangerous, they’ll be less likely to call on me.
So, I have to make sure the royalty here stays on the Ansellus Kingdom's side.
The scene where a specific human became a person just now?
It’s fine.
Honestly, I’m begging them to forget it inside. That’s why I’m saying things that are opposed like this.
Shall we pretend that scene never happened?"
Ah.
**If this goes wrong, will the heretic inquisitor come flying in to ask if I dared to deny the Holy Spirit? Banishment! It’s an agenda."
The more difficult it is for them to speak, the better for me! With more thoughts, I can buy time. There’s a problem where I need to give Hyungkeshni time and resources to write the book, but that’s something I can handle!
What to do...?
"A god’s work cannot be seen as a human’s work, right?"
It’s basically saying, don’t talk about gods and leave it to the god. It’s saying it’s not human work, right?
Well, scratch that.
"Do you think humanity has no priority over the first contract? I didn’t think so. But I’ve never canceled the contract. He believes in another god? There was no clause in the contract that said he had to believe in me. I just shared part of myself with him until the end of his life, and now that his life is over, I’ve come to take what’s mine. But the Holy Spirit is interfering with me."
If you just listen, it sounds like I gave him power and came to take it back, doesn’t it? But as I said, I didn’t cut myself out and put myself in. I was just in there.
The payment, of course, is warmth.
But don’t they think I gave them power and came to take it back?
Thinking that, I observe the blessed ones’ gazes.
The soldiers are sneaking in, and the royals are sending soldiers to quietly take the children out of the room.
Hehe.
This is going according to plan.
Yes. They’ve become subjects who need protection. The enemy is just me alone here, or maybe it’s Hyungkeshni and me.
Should I make Hyungkeshni a different subject from me? There are a lot of blessed people right now, so if things go well, even if I’m banished from this world, I might be able to read a book...
No, if I’m expelled like this, the contract would be void, and there’s a chance I won’t be able to write a book.
Really troublesome person.
I’m killing one blessed person at a time and making everyone here think like this with a bad headache.
"So, what is it that you wish for by coming here?"
The king is annoyingly seasoned in his manner.
Avoiding all talk related to the Holy Spirit, he’s asking what I want.
Ugh, what should I say? What should I wish for?
I’m sure if I mention my wish, they’ll find reasons to fight back. Can I win against him with just words?
Just because I know all his memories and have the ability to see through his eyes doesn’t mean I can stand above him.
Seeing through his eyes is simply knowing what he sees, hears, and feels. It’s not like I can see his thoughts like some psychic.
Shock. First, I need to give him a shock. If I take the initiative, I won’t be swayed. What’s there?
The only one here with purple hair is the person standing in front of me.
Purple?
Oh, right. The contract.
Yes. That’s right. I pointed at his hair with my index finger. To be precise, his purple hair.
As I extended my hand, the king flinched.
Then two knights drew their swords. But as I stayed still with my hand outstretched, the king soon stopped them and asked me.
"What does that hand mean?" "The hair."
Huh? His expression became puzzled, and then he grabbed his own hair. Somehow, the knight next to him, who had little hair, looked at me with a frightened expression.
"Do you want the hair?"
Suddenly? I’m not into bald men. That’s a bit...
Ah, you understood it like that? That I want the hair?
"No. The color of the hair. Humanity. You inherited Tis-ha’s contract."
I guess it’s an automatic renewal. That’s why it was so easy to make the contract. And since he was born like that from the start, I can control him.
But it’s funny seeing how relieved the two men are. The other knight, who has a lot of hair, looks completely confused, which makes it even funnier.
"So, you gave the blessing."
I’ve already filled them up.
The king’s expression grew very sharp when he heard my words.
"Does that mean I have to trust you?"
"No. It’s unpleasant to trust the Holy Spirit who tried to block me, but if you want to believe in that god, go ahead. Humanity should freely believe in religion."
Hmm?
Why is he looking at me with such a shocked expression?
"You’re telling me to believe in religion freely? As a god?"
Is that so strange? Ah, is it because I’m not a god that I don’t understand the nature of gods? That’s right. I’m not a god. So, I’ll give a lighter response.
"Isn’t it the freedom of humanity?"
That’s just how it should be.
Ah. For a moment, a criticism came from the faded man’s memory. He said that being subjugated to gods was the life of modern humanity.
But isn’t the world different now?
Maybe that was such a shocking statement, the king was silent for a long time. In the meantime, the blessed ones properly left. It means they were safely protected. At least they left the blessings behind, so they’ll be fine.
Meanwhile, soldiers are standing around Hyungkeshni, aiming their weapons and holding their breath.
That’s bad... Hyungkeshni has to write the book.
"O god who has come to this place, what do you wish for as the price of blessing?"
There is something I wish for. Specifically, making Hyungkeshni over there write a book. But that doesn’t seem like something I want right now.
The faded man pulls out one proposal. It looks like he’s going to experience a mental breakdown soon. He’s completely a stranger.
So, what does he say?
Freedom?
If that’s it...
"Why are you asking me that? I gave myself up. Then, when the time comes, I’ll take everything I have."
No, is the king’s expression showing determination? He looks like he’s burning with a sense of duty to kill the evil in front of him.
Did I speak wrong? Again? Like this?
"Humanity should do whatever they want and die freely. I’ll come to meet them when they die."
As soon as I finished speaking, the resolve vanished without a trace.
It really disappeared. And the king bowed his head.
Why?
