Chapter 80 Encounters With Akuzawa
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
’Don’t mess with me. *****! You’re saying that I restarted my life to make someone else suffer in place of my mother?’
’If you wish to mend a frayed thread, you must weave it into a new one.’
’I’ve heard that before! Then what was the point of my sacrifice!’
’Its price has already been paid. All things have 2 sides. To mend one thread, you must bind it to another.’
I see a red aura of anger.
Did I sacrifice something?
Did I gain something and start a new life?
I was vaguely thinking about that.
But slowly, the red aura faded, turning into a gray of regret and despair.
Looking at that gray aura, my chest ached.
Passing through my foggy mind were fragments of memories.
At the same time, his figure disappeared, and I finally realized that I was the one directing my anger at him…

”Looking at the number of cars in the parking lot, it seems like the number of followers has increased since before.”
”Yes. It is all thanks to the grace of the Founder. Many people from the secular world are coming to seek salvation.”
Guided by a follower, I was heading towards the sanctuary where Nishikuze and the others lived, from the main hall of the Gospel of Love Church.
It seems that this follower only sees me as a guest.
I’d rather keep the number of people who know my secret as low as possible, so I’ve been discreetly contacting Nishikuze and the others with a mirage cloak.
Of course, Nishikuze wouldn’t spread the word that I am the demon Vepar’s servant, and I don’t think they would intentionally reveal that I am under his command.
In the end, I decided to simply show myself openly, thinking that it was pointless effort.
The Nishikuze seemed to be successfully gaining followers by spreading rumors that their product was a miraculous cure for all ailments.
However, if they were to promote specific effects, it would classify their product as a pharmaceutical, so they likely only presented it as a health supplement on the surface.
While it certainly didn’t have the all-purpose effects of something like Muldeur’s poison, it could regenerate wounds and lost body parts, as well as restore joint function, hearing, and eyesight, making it a medicine that could be deemed divine in this world.
For me, it’s a beneficial situation, as I could secretly sell healing potions while hiding behind the Nishikuze.
That said, I’ve warned the Nishikuze to avoid drawing too much attention.
They’re not stupid.
They should be well aware of that.
Thanks to this, there hasn’t yet been any sign of gossip magazines catching wind of it, and business seems to be going smoothly.
Well, to be honest, I’m not really that concerned about it.
After all, since the product genuinely works, there shouldn’t be any issues regarding legality.
However, if the true effects become widely known, it would create quite a commotion, and I worry about getting swept up in that chaos.
Either way, the reason I’ve come to the Gospel of Love Church today isn’t for the divine medicine.
I’ve finally decided to separate Katsuji and Mizuki, so I was planning to give Miki some detailed instructions.
Sure, I could manage this over the phone, but I was somewhat concerned about Sato Hanae, who I left with Nishikuze.
That’s why I’m here right now to confirm everything.
Since then, Kyouka has been glued to my side.
At this rate, she won’t be too shocked even if she learns about her father’s infidelity.
I’ve indirectly told her that her mother, Mizuki, has noticed Katsuji’s cheating and is contemplating a breakup.
Despite that, Mizuki’s positive feelings still seem to loom large.
Kyouka, who revealed such a secret to me, didn’t show much of the gray hue of [anguish].
Of course, for Mizuki, the fact that her object of dependence has shifted to James Masuda meant that Katsuji was starting to become a nuisance.
Even if I were to reveal that I was involved with Kyouka, Mizuki would ultimately have to accept their relationship as it stands now.
No, Mizuki must have already prepared herself for me to make a move once she offered up her daughter.
While she might bear some regrets or guilt, Mizuki is unlikely to harbor feelings of jealousy.
Although she has a tendency to be indecisive on her own, it could be said that she’s obedient and convenient to have around.
Eventually, Kyouka would likely end up the same way.
Both of them shared a tendency to easily succumb to pleasure during sex and depend on men.
”Bishop, I’ve brought the guests. May I show them in?”
’Yes, thank you for your hard work. Please let the guests inside. You may leave afterward.’
The man, who sounded like Higashikawa on the intercom, replied to the believer.
He gestured for me to enter the sanctuary.
After giving a slight bow to the man, I stepped through the entrance of the sanctuary.

”Yes, understood. Everything will proceed as Shiena-sama has instructed.”
Miki, who had been sitting next to Nishikuze, replied like that.
There were no particular changes to the plan.
I just needed to lead Mizuki and Kyouka to the bustling town, letting them witness Katsuji and Miki entering a love hotel nearby.
