Chapter 40
So, where is the space distortion !?(Celes)
Heard the goddess Celestine shouted out in a serious tone, the Pope was agape.
He didnt know the meaning of the goddess question, thats why he couldnt answer.
And Kaoru give him a niceboat.
No, it was more like a mudboat than a nice boat
Celes, its been a while!(Kaoru)
AhKaoru! Why are you here at such place
Wait, but right now I dont have time to have private talk with you!
Where is this space distortion that I cant sense occurring? Where?(Celes)
Oh, there is no distortion, these people just called Ceres for their own protection.
Something like: The Sacred country Rueda is a country blessed by Celes, they are the great blessed people. Theyseem to want to say that Celes is protecting them and do not go against their words.
They decided to call Celes because they want to prove it with eveyone(Kaoru)
Kaoru tells Celes while smiling.
What that(Celes)
Ceres was amazed.
I already told Kaoru before, didnt I?
They were just people in trouble with the space distortion, They even disturbed me for other things as well. How come thedescendants of those people were great?
If anything, I treated them are less than other normal human beings.
However, even if Im annoyed, I still worried about this world.
Instead of ask them for an atonement, I gave out a contact crystal and told them to contact me as soon as they found Space Distortion Recurrence. But to think, they dare use the contact crystal for personal use, for personal protection.
Didnt I say that I dont care about the power balance this world?(Celes)
Celess face becomes red with anger.
Well, I did it all the time
Im also handing dozens of other things in various parts of this world.
There are false alarms, but thats fine.Its okay to mistake a rare natural phenomenon or disaster as space distortion. Its not a big deal to have some mistake.
Rather than missing the space distortion by overlooking it, I will come to check it.
But this is the second time, I have been calling for personal protection. The first time they used it is a few thousands years ago since I first started distributing contact crystal (Celes)
Hey, dont tell me the first one was(Kaoru)
Kaoru had a bad feeling.
Un, you knew about it right.
I was so angry that I destroyed the country without thinking
I mean, I mistaken in control my power and involved the surrounding countries considerably(Celes)
All the people in the conference and all the people in the surroundings became pale.
Listen well, Celes.
Ill teach you the borderline of the Sacred country in detail, soABSOLUTELY DONOTinvolve anyone or anything outside of(Kaoru)
That, such a thing !!!(Pope)
Cuts Kaorus words halfway, the Pope cries out.
Isnt our country Rueda the Holy land, and our citizen are blessed people ?(Pope)
The Holy land?
The blessed people?
Did you hear what I just said.
Its just a land get distorted by the space distortion. I just came there to clear the space distortion and repaired the land.
Those fellows in that land were just someone interfered with my most important work, preventing the collapse of this world. And you are those hated fellows descendants.
Well, you guys should prepare for my punishment, although I was going to do it without a care about you guys(Celes)
With the cold words of Celes, the Pope collasped.
Well, what is this girl to say that we are excommunicated ?(Pope)
Kaoru-chan?
She is my great savior, my most important friend, excommunication (Celes)
As Celes said so, she looking at the air and thinking a little. And she continued. Perhaps she was reading information from somewhere.
Oh, I see.
But, but theres no need to excommunicate,You guys are not even my faithful believers after all.
You guys just use my name without permission. I have never conveyed doctrine and I dont admit you guys as my believers.
I had neglected you guys in the past, because I thought you would do your best to serve people as an apology for disturbing me.
To think you use my name for wrongdoing, I will never allow you to use my name in the future
Ah thats right, if the temple of other countries that dont have any relationship with these people, I will allow you to continue to use my name to relieve peoples mind(Celes)
It was an announcement of the end of Sacred country Rueda.
The priests of the Holy countries who were luxuriously extravagant with the money raised from citizens and believers of other countries.
What kind of eyes will the people who knew the truth will look at them from now on
And there, Kaoru added one more punch.
Hey, everyone, why did we call Rueda asthe Sacred country , wasnt it weird?
From now on, I think that we should just call it as Rueda(Kaoru)
It is a proposal from a girl who was said to be goddess Celestines most important friend and great benefactor.
Unanimously agreed.Even if people thought Kaoru was just a human girl, no-one dare to deny.
Meanwhile, Everyone is wondering if Pope might even breath anymore.
Somehow, Ceres seemd lost interest in those priests of Rueda, and she spoke to Kaoru.
Kaoru-chan, you were just living in this world recently, I doubt you had yet to do anything, but did you enjoy it?(Celes)
While saying that, Ceres smiles.
No, no, no. Its not recently! Celes has a different sense of time!
Ive already adventured a lot and have enjoyed it enough!(Kaoru)
Is that so? Well then, I wonder if I can go and make the first report to that person anytime soon(Celes)
Well, I guess its okay to do it now.
If you wait too long, Ill die of an accident, incident or die of old age(Kaoru)
There is no such thing! So even Kaoru-chan can say an interesting joke (Celes)
Celes giggles.
Kaorutilted her head.
(Huh, something strange here, I ) (Kaoru)
Well then, I should have a look at the Record and put together the report, so that person can know about Kaorus adventure (Celes)
(Eh, what is this Record? Maybe its about all being recorded
U Ah, theAkashic Record?
Or maybe, something has been tracing me for a long time ) (Kaoru)
She got scared somewhat, so Kaoru stopped thinking about it.
Well, I guess I should return soon, Kaoru, please enjoy it!(Celes)
Oh, wait a second! Its about Rueda (Kaoru)
She seems to have forgotten, and you have to remind her of it!!!(Everyone)
At that moment, everyone in the plaza regardless of their different, united their hearts and had the same voice.
Although it was only a few people that doing wrong.
Its not good to punish everyone in that country.
Celes will be busy with many things.
So why dont you leave it to me, I will do it in your stead?(Kaoru)
Oh, I see, then I will trouble you with that.
Call me if theres something wrong, I will do it properly(Celes)
Roger that. You as well, do it properly with that person(Celes)
Eh? I I will do my best!(Celes)
That said, the appearance of Celes has disappeared.
We were saved(Everyone)
I know what everyone thought!
But what would you do if Ceres suddenly remembers and gave out punishment as she left!
I still wasnt teaching her Ruedas borderline yet, we dont even know which country will get involved in her rage!
I needed to make her say it properly, absolutely!(Kaoru)
With Kaorus words, everyone realized it and nodded.Certainly it was so.
***
After that Balmoa Kingdom decided the reparation of the Sacred Country Rueda, no, just Rueda country now. Rueda was hit by a massive political change from now on, but it still need to pay compensation.
But, Rueda didnt suffer or cause any direct damage.At best, they only need to pay prisoners food expenses.
After that, Because the delegation returned home without negotiating anything. 2 cardinals, other priest servants and monks were left as prisoners. They would stay in prison for several months until the political change ceased and the negotiation was carried out due to the petition of their relatives
Meanwhile, the Arigo Empire promptly negotiated, decided the story of installment payment compensation, set the conditions for delivery of prisoners, and made it possible for the prisoners to return home early.
Representatives from various countries who were present at the Peace Conference were fussy.
The representatives of Balmoa Kingdom and their ally countries, Ashid Kingdom and Brancott Kingdom, as well as the representatives who came from far away land were able to see the goddess Celestine with their own eyes and hear the goddesss voice with their ears.
And most of all, the content of that story beyond their imagination.
Furthermore, every countries now know the existence of a girl who is entrusted with full power to the goddess, can produce potion of miracle, has an unparalleled wisdom, the goddesss best friend
That girl is the most valuable girl in this world. Everyone understand such a thing.
However, if they hand it poorly, their country will definitely be destroyed.
The goddess destroyed a country just because she was called for personal benefit.Just think about hurting the girl who is her great benefactor and best friend, what would become of their country.
Do not lay their hands on her, leave her alone, only try to ask her for help.
That is the limit.
Representatives from various countries tentatively agreed with friendship with the Balmoa Kingdom, signed a new trade agreement and promised to send a delegation once more at a later date.
And everyone went back to their country, country has sea and coast focus with shipbuilding to cross the sea. Faraway country that didnt get the potions, improve their high speed transportation to get the potion before deadline. Every countries is busy with various projects.
