Time flowed like water, time flowed like a song … Cough cough, I mean, no matter if you win or lose, you still have to live your life.
In the blink of an eye, that memorable Battle of the Gods was already a week ago.
Many things didn't change. For example, Grandmaster was still practicing his magic all day long, Isabella was still hesitating between eating wild grass with rice or eating wild grass with rice. Su Nanna was always mysterious and nowhere to be seen. Rorschach was still driven crazy by the increasingly demanding class schedule.
The Game Church was still the same Game Church, a new church that had been established for less than two years. The lack of human resources and backup resources had always hindered the church's development.
However, some things had changed.
"… Do I still have to go for an interview today? Spare me, I'm only 1.4 meters tall. What dignity do I have as an interviewer? Last time, the lady who came to interview for a clerical position screamed when she came in. She even gave me a lollipop and pinched my face with all her might. "
Rorschach instinctively touched his right cheek. The interview three days ago had become his new dark history.
[There's no helping it. In the past, I've taught this kind of thing to Lord Godfrey. He's never misjudged people. But now … there are so many people applying to join the church. There must be a bunch of spies and fake goods. This is the time when we need your talent of honesty.]
Rorschach fell silent. Although the reason was sufficient, he still felt that something was wrong.
[Actually, the lady from that day really liked people like you (fake shota). You're not young anymore, and you're in a high-risk job. Our Heloise family doesn't have many people …]
"Are you my mother? I'm not even 20 yet and you're already arranging blind dates?"
Only then did Rorschach remember that although there were a lot of people applying to join the church, he mainly interviewed for clerical, logistical, clerical, and other positions with more female roles. So this was the reason why.
"… What do you mean by high-risk jobs? I'm still alive and well. How can you curse your older brother like that? "
[The first time you descended, you were attacked by wild bandits. You were clearly a rookie, but you chased after the bandits for thousands of miles. He had only gone to steal something, yet he had met the Hidden Gunner Sage and the pervert who had blown up the ship. Not only did you provoke the Battle of the Gods, you even encountered an Evil God in a safe city, and now you're being targeted by an Evil God … Brother, there are three ways to be unfilial, but having no descendants is the worst.]
Rorschach's eyes were filled with tears. He was speechless.
Can you blame me for this? Can you blame me for being so unlucky? I also don't want to get into trouble. I don't have the life of a main character who can't die no matter what.
[You could have handed the matter of the bandits to Su Nanna and the others. When you fought with Jack, you could have run away. You said that others were chasing you, but you were clearly having a lot of fun too. Don't deny it. I was there the whole time.]
[Kamisaki Battleship, you didn't have any intention of rejecting the duel at all. In fact, you were quite happy that the opponent was strong enough. If you had fought with your full strength, even if we suffered a little loss, we could have swapped out for the second round. For the third round, you unhesitatingly chose to charge and engage in melee combat. In the end, it's still up to you to decide how to fight.]
Rorschach's explanation was stuck in his throat. After all, Lori now had the ability to monitor almost the entire duel. They had grown up together, and both of them understood each other well. There were some things that were impossible to deny, and it was impossible for Rorschach to lie.
Looking back, Rorschach had indeed been walking on the line between life and death. However, that wasn't necessarily unavoidable.
Basically, it was because little troublemaker had come looking for trouble. It would have been fine if he hadn't dodged a trap, but he had unhesitatingly jumped in to see if he could forcefully break through it. What he had experienced in just a few months was comparable to what ordinary descenders would experience in several years.
"I just feel that rather than waiting for trouble to come knocking on my door, it's better to take the initiative to accept a challenge. Only by becoming stronger through actual combat can I truly have a sense of security."
[… In that case, the next time you 'take the initiative to accept a challenge,' please consider your younger sister's feelings, and use your own identity and name to accept a challenge.]
"I'm helping you, aren't I?"
[Brother, you're indeed fighting for me right now, and I'm very grateful … But please don't use this as an excuse or reason to not take your own life seriously. You'll only win if you try your best. But, are you sure that it's really necessary to risk your life every single time for the past few months?]
Rorschach was stuck. Was it really necessary to risk his life every single time? That didn't seem to be the case. At the very least, Lori had mentioned several other methods to deal with the situation.
[Have you ever thought about it? If something really happened to you, what would I do as the one who caused my older brother's death? I might as well directly end this pitiful life of mine. If my parents really did come back one day, what would I say to them? Tell my older brother that he sacrificed himself to help his younger sister? That he risked his own life in an 'intense challenge' where he didn't need to risk his own life? You've never even thought about it! Selfish bastard!]
Rorschach was rendered speechless. However, Lori seemed to be truly angry. She directly cut off all communication with Rorschach.
No matter how Rorschach called out to her, she didn't respond. This had never happened before. It seemed that she was truly furious.
"… Selfish bastard? Me? "
Rorschach still didn't receive any response from Rorschach. It seemed that his Goddess wasn't going to pay any attention to this believer of hers for the time being. He could only laugh self-mockingly as he went about his own business.
He knew that Lori was worried about him, but it was likely that he wouldn't be able to promise her anything right now.
"Forget it, forget it. There are always so many things to worry about. Let's get down to business first … Today's interview list is four sheets of paper with numbers over 300. It seems that I'll have to order dinner in advance again."
However, some things had truly changed.
After that battle in front of the Gods, the Game Church went from being an unknown ninth-rate New God's church to becoming a somewhat famous … third-rate church.
Probably from Saul's "Game Church? What's that? " To "Game Church? I heard that they defeated the silver elves. Isn't that a rather powerful new church? "
This was already quite an impressive improvement. After all, in Saul, where the entire world was focused on, the silver elves themselves weren't even worth mentioning. Not to mention, the silver elves were only Secondary Gods of the silver elves. Of course, although there were quite a few spectators, compared to the grand gladiator battle between first-rate and second-rate churches, the spectators were probably less than a fraction of the audience.
Thanks to the fact that Roland's name "sounded quite familiar," I also had to thank Jack for the trouble he caused, which caused quite a commotion in several dozen large satellite cities of Thor. This caused those people to look for videos and videos to see just what exactly happened that day. This also helped them remember the Church of Games and Roland.
However, just this bit of publicity was enough to make the already understaffed Game Church extremely busy, even though they were busy for joy and joy.
