The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone

Floating Sanctuary (4)

A few days have passed since Yuto, who ran away to the forest where the fairies live, was left unattended.

In the meantime, Yuto was quietly waiting for a fairy named Perrin, without running away to anywhere.

Apparently, the relationship between the two was quite friendly.

In order to properly handle the spirits, it may have been necessary from the beginning to have a spirit master.

In any case, the fact that Yuto was bound to that fairy also meant that I had to recruit a fairy for Yuto.

Even if Yuto is bigger than it is now, it is in a situation where it can carry several people.

Controlling Yuto was well worth the appointment of a new apostle.

“It’s different from the wagon in terms of speed.”

Yuto’s movement speed is not so fast that the smartphone screen can’t keep up.

However, thanks to the ability to move regardless of the terrain, there were no means comparable to that of Yuto for long-distance movement.

Considering the time it takes for Yutenia to travel on a wagon, it will be able to reduce a tremendous amount of time in the future.

So, I had to think about where to use the next ＜Apostle Selection＞ skill.

“Hmmm…”

Currently, there are two characters I am contemplating choosing as an apostle.

One is the assassin Daniel, also known as the Silent Butcher.

And the other was Perrin, who could handle [Buyuto] freely.

Either way, it was well worth the appointment as an apostle, given the future roles they would play.

However, in the case of Daniel, the position was not yet clear.

It was said that if I wanted to appoint Daniel first, I would have to postpone the ＜Apostle Selection＞ until the next meeting.

“If you think about the time it takes to develop a character… it’s probably hard to stand up to that point.”

An assassin specialized in physical attacks would be nice, but I wasn’t patient enough to show patience forever.

Therefore, I drew the conclusion in my head that I would choose Perrin as an apostle right now.

Even after communication with the apostle is established, it will take time to fully handle the character.

I thought it would be difficult to delay any longer.

Having made a decision, I immediately moved the screen to Perrin.

Perrin was sitting on Yuto’s head, relaxingly admiring the scenery.

– “Yuto! Isn’t the mountain range seen from above interesting?”

– “Soil.”

When I saw the two characters communicating as if they didn’t understand each other, I was embarrassed and burst out laughing.

The combination of fairies and spirits seemed to go well together.

While looking at the appearance of those two characters, I touched the icon of the ＜Apostle Selection＞ skill at the bottom of the screen.

Kwok.

When I pressed the skill, as usual, a message window appeared asking whether to select an apostle.

– Would you like to select [Perrin Stite] as an apostle?

– You need 1600 Karma to select an Apostle.

– Yes No

The amount of karma consumed was 1600, which doubled from the previous one.

Now it is the amount of karma that has started to become a huge burden.

From the next apostle, the interval between the selection of apostles will be much longer than now.

It was unfortunate, but it was also a natural phenomenon that occurred in the process of leveling up.

I clicked ‘Yes’ and proceeded with the procedure to select Perrin as an apostle.

– [Perrinstite] is selected as an apostle.

– Spend 1600 Karma to craft a new weapon for the Apostle.

– [Divine Spirit: Forged Divine Tree Yggdrasil] has been assigned to [Perrin Stite].

– [Perrinstite] rejected the path of the apostle.

– ＜Apostle Selection＞ has been put on hold.

Immediately after that, I could see a message saying that the ＜Apostle Selection＞ was rejected.

Perrin refused to become an apostle himself.

After selecting Evan as an apostle, it was a rejection I had experienced in a long time.

I looked at the screen with a blank face at the story of refusing ＜Selection of the Apostle＞.

In the picture, Perrin was playing with Yuto as if nothing had happened.

Rather, he even said strange words to Yuto with a gentle-looking face.

– “Yuto… Maybe the subordinates of the evil spirit are a little bit like that, right?”

– “Soil.”

I couldn’t help but raise my right index finger to see Perrin like that.

It looked like he dared to decline my offer on the topic of NPC.

Besides, while riding on the pet I picked with my own money, I’m not even going to gossip about myself.

Even with my broad generosity, it was impossible to tolerate her behavior any longer.

As long as I am chosen as an apostle, I will not kill them, but I will have to pay the price for scratching my insides in front of me.

His trembling fingers moved closer to the screen.

“Do you dare refuse to be my subordinate?”

Dad always told me

It is said that if a man draws a knife, he must cut a radish.

I can’t be slicing radishes here, but I think I can definitely educate a disrespectful fairy.

If you can’t have it, you have to have it.

Fortunately for me, there are plenty of effective means for him.

“Don’t show me a Jailbreak.”

I pointed my finger at Perrin, who was sitting on Yuto.

Then he lightly touched Perrin’s head once.

tuk.

At the same time as the magic power decreased a little, a light scream erupted from Perrin’s mouth.

– “Hey!”

– “Soil.”

Perrin, who was hit by a basic attack, grabbed her head and looked up at the sky.

However, I had no intention of forgiving him just once.

For insulting the player who dared to pay cash every month, he had to pay it back with his body.

I continued to tap Perrin’s head with my finger.

tock.

– “Hey!”

– “Soil.”

tock.

– “Hey!”

– “Mud, mud.”

tock.

– “Hey!”

– “Mud, mud, mud.”

After tapping her forehead with a few basic attacks, Perrin grabbed her red swollen forehead and brought tears to her eyes.

Yuto, who was laying on her, also responded to Perrin with an incomprehensible sound.

Maybe it’s because he taught the fairy how many times he couldn’t understand the situation.

It wasn’t long before Perrin had changed his attitude.

Unlike before, he had expressed his willingness to accept me with a more polite look.

– “Ha, I will! I will become an apostle of the evil god!”

– “Soil.”

“Why am I an evil spirit!”

Except for the evil names that call me.

Evan and Yutenia are always calling me by my first name.

The balance of karma is a bit skewed, but I think it’s still decent enough for me.

If I’m not good, who pays game companies to keep the world alive, who will be?

Having made a compromise in an instant in my head, I nodded in admiration for his mercy.

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the screen, a message about Perrin was floating.

– [Fourth Apostle: Perrin Statite] has become your Apostle.

– Your magic power will be shared with the apostles selected by the effect of ＜Apostle Selection＞.

– You can send a separate message to the selected apostles by the effect of ＜Apostle Selection＞.

When Perrin accepted ＜Apostle Selection＞, the rest of the process was completed.

Perrin now shares magic with me and can send and receive messages directly with me.

In other words, I could tell Perrin a bad story directly.

A conversation icon in the shape of a speech bubble was displayed above Perrin’s head.

I immediately touched the icon that appeared on Perrin’s head.

“dare? My suggestion… Huh? Reject?”

Then, I began to express my feelings for Perrin in long texts.

In an instant, the chat window with Perrin was filled with ferocious and terrifying characters.

The moment when you press the send button like that and send a vicious message to Perrin.

‘New Translator’ translated my sentences briefly and concisely and delivered them.

– “I forgive your sins.”

– “Oh, evil god! thank you.”

At the same time as the message of forgiveness came to mind, Perrin looked up at the sky and murmured thanks.

A letter of apology has been sent.

No matter how you think about it, it was a bizarre and absurd sight.

I had no choice but to open my mouth wide and stare at the smartphone screen.

“No, I haven’t forgiven you yet!”

Rendel’s laboratory located in the Fairy Village.

There, Rendell grabbed her head with her glasses down.

Rendell’s eyes were full of blood, and he had taken off his glasses.

This is because the results of the research conducted so far were not satisfactory.

Rendel sighed as he looked at the woodblock in his hand and chewed his lips.

“Damn it…….”

Rendell has been researching Yuto every day since meeting Perrin.

Most of them were for establishing a contract with Yuto.

He even tried to sign a contract with Yuto several times in the absence of Perrin.

However, no matter how much research was conducted, it was difficult to get a clue.

The contract he had tried to force had already failed several times, and no matter how much he searched through the literature, he couldn’t find any more references.

Rendel, the best sage in town, just hit the wall.

Blood dripped from Rendel’s lips, which touched his sharp teeth.

“why! Why don’t you accept my contract!”

Rendel, who poured out the questions that filled his head, threw the wooden board on the desk.

bang!

The wooden board hit the wall and bounced off the floor.

Even though he threw things to relieve his anger, the frustration that filled Rendell’s heart did not subside.

Rendell got up from his seat and clenched his fists and struck the desk several times.

“You followed all the procedures! Why the hell are you refusing?”

Documents about the contract with the spirit that had already materialized were easy to find.

However, even referring to such documents, the contract with Yuto showed no sign of success.

It was Yuto’s refusal to contract with Rendell.

The same was true of the attempt to make a compulsory contract with the spirit.

Against the high-ranking Yuto, nothing worked properly.

There were no more ways to try on Rendel.

As Rendell bit his lip and banged his head against the wall, someone heard a voice from behind Rendell.

“You look really ugly, Elder Rendell.”

Rendel’s sunken gaze turned to the back.

Eggersuit, who had quietly entered Rendell’s laboratory before he knew it, was talking to him.

Rendel, who confirmed the appearance of Eggersuit, looked at him while shaking his crushed head.

Rendel’s eyes looking at Eggersuit were full of irritation.

Rendel began to criticize Eggersuit, who had entered the lab without his knowledge.

“It seems that our military commander doesn’t know politeness.”

“I don’t know if it’s polite to throw woodblocks at night like this.”

“What’s wrong with setting up a soundproof barrier and throwing my stuff?”

“Isn’t it savagery that can’t be seen as a tree-loving fairy? Everyone respects Elder Rendell, so I’d like to set a good example.”

Hehe—.

Rendell, spitting out blood-soaked saliva, stared at Eggersuit.

Eggersuit, looking at Rendell, had a faint smile on his lips.

Rendel felt very unlucky to see Eggersuit smiling at him.

However, up to now, what he could do was very limited.

“Let’s put aside the stinky talk and listen to what we’re talking about.”

“How is the research going?”

“We still need more time.”

“Not yet? It’s been said that you can’t predict how long it will take.”

It’s embarrassing, but Eggersuit’s story was true.

Rendell clenched his fists and agreed to Eggersuit’s story.

“Difficult research takes time.”

“Elder Rendell. We don’t have much time.”

“What are you talking about?”

“That lowly thing is getting closer to the spirit day by day. And what do you think will happen if there is a quarrel in the village?”

“Are you saying that Perrin wants to run away?”

“It is.”

It wasn’t an impossible story at all.

Because Perrin didn’t get along well with everyone in this town.

Staying here until now is nothing more than a form of barely avoiding exile.

If there was a problem, there was a sufficient possibility of leaving.

However, more time was still needed for Rendell’s research.

“I won’t be leaving anytime soon. We still have to do more research.”

“Aren’t we supposed to use that method now?”

“It is a last resort. If you haphazardly do something that imposes a prohibition on your people…”

“Elder Rendell.”

“·················ogue.”

Eggersuit sighed and shook his head.

He looked like he had already made up his mind.

“No one is subject to the ban. It is a lowly being who has been glared by the evil spirits.”

“That’s it, but…….”

“Besides, he has the secret member of the clan, Bubuto. How long do we have to let that dangerous guy go?”

“under.”

Rendel’s eyes, wet with thought, looked out the window.

A bright moon was rising in the dark sky.

Under the moon reflected in Rendell’s eyes, trees with light were shining.

Unlike Rendell’s dizzying head, it was a beautiful and clear landscape.

Eggersuit’s sharp voice entered Rendell’s ear as he looked out the window.

“I believe Elder Rendell will make a wise choice. I’ll call a meeting tomorrow morning, so make up your mind and come back.”

After completing the notification, Eggersuit opened the door and exited the laboratory.

Quang!

As the door to the lab from which Eggersuit had escaped closed, a loud noise resounded.

Seeing Eggersuit leaving the laboratory, Rendell quietly closed his eyes.

After a commotion, the thought of research had long since disappeared from my mind.

Only the sparkling night sky was clearly visible under Rendell’s eyelids.
