“Uhm, excuse me, can I stop by the church?”
“Sure. Actually, I’ve never been to church.”
“Shiro hasn’t either.”
We still had time before we head back to the inn, so Sue asked me if we could stop by at the church. I agreed. I’ve never been to church before, so I thought this was a good opportunity.
Apparently, there is a church here in the city, and when we walked there under Sue’s guidance, we arrived at a certain corner of the residential area.
“Whoa, what a beautiful building.”
“Yeah……”
The church in this country looked very luxurious huh.
Perhaps for the purpose of showing the grandness of the church, this large building towered over the residences. To be honest, I was surprised because I thought it would be a simpler building.
“This is the inside of the church.”
“Woah……”
“It’s even more grand……”
The inside of the church is even more stunning. The ceiling and walls were covered with stained glass and paintings and a huge pipe organ-like instrument can be seen at the side.
Me, Shiro, and Ao were stunned by the opulence of the church. We can’t help but roam our eyes around.
Come to think of it, the statue of the goddess on the altar looks like the woman I met in the heavenly realm.
“Only the churches inside the Royal Capital and the various border territories have this kind of luxurious look. In other domains, most of the churches are as Shun thought of.”
As if reading my mind, Sue explained.
“If every church is this grand, it would seem that money takes precedence over faith.”
After talking about this with Sue, Shiro and I also prayed to the Goddess. Ao also made a praying posture with her tentacles, but for some reason, she is on top of Sue’s head.
By the way, there are also other people praying with us.
“Well, do you want to go home, or do you want to stop somewhere?”
“Let’s have some delicious food at the market!”
“Shiro is really honest about her desires……”
“Hehe”
There are no big wigs visiting today so I gave the nun a tip before going out.
As we walk back, we talk about what to do next.
Hihiiin!
Suddenly, there was such a sharp horse neigh.
Crash! Then there was a loud thud.
“Kyaaaaa, s-someone!”
“The carriage had an accident!”
“There’s a man trapped under the carriage!”
Just as we were about to leave the premises of the church, we heard such commotion. In addition, there are voices calling for help. We looked at each other and quickly walked out of the church.
