The Holy Sphere I touched radiated so much light that it fully illuminated the dark room.

“……!”

People looked surprised to see the light.

I proved my powers by saving Daisy in front of the priests before.

But now I was showing my powers before a huge crowd of believers at Elium Temple.

“Oh! God Hetus.”

“Lord Hesed, how overwhelming.”

They exhibited admiration while struggling to cover their adrenal eyes.

‘Hmm. It feels like I’m presenting some kind of magic show.’

I carefully removed my hand from the Holy Sphere, which emitted light like a lightbulb.

The hall went dark again.

Praises for me poured out among the believers,

“Saintess! I witnessed a miracle.”

“What kind of scoundrel dares utter such calumnies!”

“Calm down, Your Grace the Duke!”

“Nine Gods. Blessings to Elium!”

Seeing them clasp their hands together and proclaiming exclamations made me want to leave.

[Hesed, the God of Knowledge, looks at you proudly]

[Odyssey, the God of Love, winks and gives you three rounds of applause]

[Oman, the God of Benevolence, stomps their feet and wants to hug you]

Moreover, the gods seemed quite impressed with me, as if they were watching the performance of their kindergarten daughter in a school arts festival.

I felt a burning sensation in my ears and told Reyhas in a small voice,

“May I go now?”

Reyhas still spoke solemnly to the believers, as if he hadn’t heard me,

“I’m sure everyone who has eyes has seen it. If we still hear any more of those rumors in the future…”

Every spectator stared at Reyhas’ lips.

His protruding neck moved with the choker as he opened his mouth,

“…our Elium will never stand by.”

They all nodded and made serious expressions in response to Reyhas’ remarks.

The Baron Reizfield family had recently been expelled, leaving the Barony on their own.

After concluding his speech, Reyhas looked back at me and said,

“The Saintess can return now.”

Then he bowed his head even more deeply and whispered,

“Oh, you don’t need to worry because I’ll give you the allowance you just earned.”

Just as I was about to leave, I straightened my shoulders and placed my hand on his shoulder. Patting him lightly, I expressed my gratitude.

Money is the best.

I brought my worn-out body back to my room. Following the Hunting Festival, I even had a show to prove my powers, which left my body depleted.

[Oman, the God of Benevolence, offers a discount on the whip]
