79 – Episode 79 Hospital
Earth Church.
Saint’s private room.
The saint read the letter that had just arrived.
[… Elwin believers do not know how important worship is. … The reason priests exist is to worship the goddess. … Elwin believers are taking advantage of loopholes in temple law to give unreasonable instructions. … She earnestly asks the saint to hasten the revision of her temple law.]
“Phew…”
What the high-ranking priest said is right.
Worship to the goddess is more important than anything else.
She learned that way,
She taught herself that too.
I definitely think what the high-ranking priest said is right…
The saint placed her priest’s letter on her desk and picked up another letter placed next to her.
This is something I have read over and over again.
This letter also came from Frontier.
The person who sent the letter was Elwin.
[… Only one priest is required for worship. The rest can be done by the temple staff. …Why did the goddess give divine powers to the priest? Does she need divine power for worship? … I think like this. The reason she was given divine power was because it was the goddess’ will to heal the sick. …]
“Phew…”
The service will be conducted with just one priest.
It makes no sense.
But it didn’t seem like what Elwin said was completely wrong.
[… For this reason, I built a new building called a hospital. We treat the sick here. …]
She thought it was plausible up to this point.
But.
[… Below is the hospital price list.]
I wrote down the hospital price list.
The price was more expensive than expected.
And at the end, he used words that only merchants would use: ‘Half price for the God of the Earth.’
“How can this be…”
These are not words a noble would use.
This is especially not a word to use in a temple.
[… Let the number of people who worship the goddess increase, even if only to use hospitals…]
Kkugit.
Without realizing it, her hands tightened.
[… The current number of Frontier believers is estimated to be approximately 20,000.]
“…”
20,000.
In the few days she met Elwin, the number of her followers increased by 20,000.
[… We plan to pilot the hospital in the southern part of the Frontier and expand it throughout the Frontier in the future. If this happens, the number of Frontier believers is expected to exceed 50,000.]
“50,000…”
[… If hospitals are expanded throughout Ireland, 300,000 people are possible.]
“3… 300,000!”
The number of believers in Earth decreased every year.
However, this year it is expected to increase.
Thanks to Elwin.
Knock. Knock.
“Holy woman, everyone is gathered.”
“I’ll leave right away.”
Conference room within the church.
The leaders of the church gathered there.
This is because of what happened recently at Frontier.
“Saint, we cannot leave it like this.”
“That’s right. “The temple law must be revised immediately.”
The need for revision of the Temple Act was acknowledged.
Because we cannot give them the same status as a religious order just because they have the right to operate a temple.
The opinions of everyone gathered in the conference room were unanimous,
The temple law was unanimously revised.
A sentence was added below the phrase that priests have an obligation to follow temple laws.
[If the entity operating the temple is not the religious denomination, the priest may report unreasonable instructions to the religious denomination, and the religious denomination may revise them.]
“Now we must correct Elwin’s unfair instructions.”
“Yes. “You’re messing with worship.”
“That’s right. “Isn’t worship the first reason for the existence of a priest?”
“That’s right.”
“I agree.”
While the leaders were meeting,
A different thought occurred to the saint’s mind.
30,000 Believers!
Expected number of believers: 50,000!!
If it spreads throughout Ireland, 300,000!!!!
A large number flashed in the saintess’s mind.
“Saint, please decide.”
“Saint.”
“Saint!”
Everyone is looking at themselves.
Since there was a consensus, I guess they are asking you to make a final decision.
According to their will.
This decision is definitely right.
Just do what you have done so far.
But.
Is it okay like this?
Can I just do what I have been doing?
So what was the result?
Earth Church’s market share is 2%.
The number of believers continued to decrease,
The influence of the denomination gradually decreased.
If there is no change,
The market share will go down to 1%,
Furthermore, 0%…
The saint closed her eyes tightly.
The fall of the Earth Church.
Could there be a bigger mistake than this?
“Saint.”
“Saint, make a decision quickly!”
The saint slowly opened her mouth.
“The priest’s report that the Elwin believer’s instructions were unfair… Is dismissed as incorrect.”
“Yes!?”
“What does that mean…?”
The leaders looked surprised.
The highest authority in the Earth Church is held by a saint.
However, most things were decided by the leadership.
There were many times when I was just a seal confirming their decisions.
Is that why?
Some were even angry.
The saint stood up from her seat.
As long as the denomination can do well, we can do anything, be it a seal or a scarecrow.
But, it wasn’t like that.
The market share is 2%.
If it decreases even a little, it is 1%,
After that, only 0% remains.
If the church is going to fall like this,
You will have to catch a new rope named Elwin.
“Let me reiterate the decision we made! “The Frontier Temple’s instructions are unfair, so the priests…”
“The will of the Goddess is also in the Frontier.”
High-ranking priests and temple knights, including myself, came to see the evidence.
Didn’t a mercenary named Inon receive the stigmata?
“But…”
“Even so…”
“I know that you are devoted to your denomination. But what was the result of that effort? The number of believers decreased every year. The only numbers left are 1 and 0. “Now is the time for change.”
The voices of the leaders diminished due to the clear numbers.
“The one closest to the goddess. I decide in the name of Ruthera. “This order from the Frontier Temple is legitimate, so the priest must follow it.”
Most of the leadership bowed their heads at the name Lu Terra.
Ru Terra.
Because it was the word of the only being who could use the goddess’s name as her last name.
Nevertheless, not everyone agreed.
“This decision is the saint’s discretion. “If a problem arises, the saint will be solely responsible.”
“I will take responsibility for everything.”

City Plain.
Government office conference room.
The high-ranking priest brought several priests and temple knights.
Then he opened the conference room door.
Elwin is at the head table,
The subordinates stood around him.
A high-ranking priest took his place opposite.
The priest and caster were aligned left and right as if wings were spread.
‘Is the small lord just planning to show off his power? To a high-ranking priest?’
“Congregant Elwin, I heard that the church’s reply has arrived.”
Isaac gave the letter, and a high-ranking priest read it.
[… The one closest to the goddess. I decide in the name of Ruthera.]
“Oh…”
It is not a decision made by the leadership, but a decision that clearly states the name of the saint.
How long has it been since the saint started using her name?
I was moved.
No, it almost came up.
If you haven’t read the following.
[This order from the Frontier Temple is justified, so the priest must follow it.]
“This… What is this?”
“Senior priest, what’s going on?”
“Is something wrong?”
The church’s response was passed on to the priest.
The reply was passed on to another priest.
With each reply, the priest’s expression darkened.
The church decided.
The Frontier Temple’s decision is right.
This is even a decision made in the name of Ru Terra.
‘If the denomination’s decision is…’
“As a high-ranking priest, I humbly accept the temple’s decision…”
“Puhup.”
Are you laughing?
Elwin laughed.
“I’m sorry. “Keep talking.”
He is holding back his laughter.
The situation was clearly revealed on his face.
“Ugh… I humbly accept this and the priests will go to the hospital.”
“Pugh.”
Are you laughing again?
“I’ll just leave.”
I left the conference room.
I hated seeing Elwin’s smile because it looked like the smile of a winner.
Anyway, this was his defeat.
“hahahaha!!”
“Ugh…”
Elwin’s laughter could be heard outside the conference room.
“Let’s go back quickly. “Brothers.”
“Yes, high priest.”
“I understand.”

City Plain.
Conference room.
You shouldn’t laugh.
“Puhup.”
Laughter kept leaking out.
“I’m sorry. “Keep talking.”
“Ugh… I humbly accept this and the priests will go to the hospital.”
“Pugh.”
I suppressed my laughter.
Still, she couldn’t stand the noise that came out every now and then.
“I’ll just leave.”
After the priests left the conference room,
I was able to laugh refreshingly.
“hahahaha!!!”
Now you can make as much money as you want.
All hospital income is mine.
At first glance,
I think I should share it with the priest, but
That’s not true.
The priest’s salary is included in the temple’s operating costs.
I am already giving it to you.
No, more accurately, we are exiting the new era.
So. There is no need to give more money.
In other words, if I make additional money by using the new concept, it becomes my income.
This is not the only thing.
From Noble mtl dot com
The hospital is being built,
When you start treating people,
The number of people who believe in goddesses will increase.
“If hospital income and new lease taxes increase, how much is this?”
“Master… Please lower your voice.”
Isaac said.
This is because there are not only key subordinates in the conference room, but also plain officials.
He dismissed the bureaucrat from the conference room.
“Master, are you that happy?”
“Of course I’m happy. “We are so rich.”
Isaac thought.
My lord is rich, not us.
“hahahaha!! After all, money is the best!”
Isaac thought.
My lord must be very happy.
“So… where should we invest now?”
The lord’s eyes became serious.
Isaac thought.
There are times when you feel light,
He is a serious person.
“Does anything remind you of Isaac?”
Isaac thought.
And he answered.
“Establish a theology department in the school. Then, more people will receive the stigmata from the goddess. Furthermore, the number of priests will also increase.”
“Oh… Isaac? “You’ve grown a lot?”
“Thank you for the compliment. “My lord.”
