Chapter 5 – Holy Place

The light shining into the room brought my consciousness back.
It seems that today I woke up before my alarm clock woke me up.
Since I finally woke up feeling nice for once I didn’t want to hear that piercing sound, so still lying down, I reached out my hand to stop it before it rang.
While groping around for the alarm clock that was always by my pillow, my hand touched something hard.
I tried to grab it from above and press the button on the alarm clock… when a sharp pain at the base of my thumb sent me jumping right up.

“Tss-!?”

When I looked at my pained right hand, I found that at a cut ran vertically down the base of my thumb, and blood was oozing from there.
In confusion at the sudden event, I looked at where I had stretched my hand towards earlier, and found that in place of my familiar alarm clock was an ominous black knife lying there.
After looking around the room still confused, I remembered that this wasn’t my room.
A six tatami room with a simple table set, and, completely at odds with the rest of the room, a jet black canopy bed.
Right, I was thrown into another world, and made it to this room.

Mn?
That’s weird, there’s something that feels off about this.
No, I mean, being thrown into another world is off to begin with, or rather it’s beyond a level you can just call ‘feeling off’, but leaving that aside, it feels kind of like last night’s scene was a little different, or rather…
While I dragged off the jet black robe that was hard to see atop the black blanket, I frantically tried to work this mind of mine that wouldn’t work well having just awoken.
Wai-, black?
Right, the thing that’s off about this scene is the bed and blanket.
Last night when I went to sleep, it was supposed to be just a simple wooden bed, with white sheets and a white blanket.
And at some point it changed into a pitch black canopy bed… It couldn’t be that I was kidnapped?
No, but the room seems to be the same as the room that I fell asleep in last night.

Still unable to process the situation, the knife from before entered my vision.
Earlier I was wondering why such a knife was in here, but thinking about it carefully, I realised that it might have been the curse.
I put it away in my item box, but because of the curse of being unable to unequip it, it probably flew out while I was sleeping.
Meaning that it’s going to be like this every night? Today it ended with just a scratch, but if I don’t do something about this I’ll probably be seriously injured before long.
While licking my wound, I was at a loss as to what I would do from now on.

Having remembered about the knife, I realised what had probably happened with the bed as well.
While I was sleeping, the divine enchantment had probably activated.
There might have been a voice just like the time with the knife and robe, but unfortunately I was sleeping and apparently missed it.
In other words────

“I’ve done it now.”

Because of the skill, it seems that I accidentally demonically remodelled the bed.
I, wonder if I’ll have to reimburse them.
It’s become luxurious, so I wonder if they might forgive me.

Despite running into trouble first thing in the morning, I put on my robe and shoes.
Let’s just deal with it later.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

After having breakfast I left the inn.
I roughly asked the inn obasan about the placed I wanted to go today, so all that’s left is to walk about and search for them.
My goals are two places; the Adventurers Guild and the church.
I want to register at the Adventurers Guild for a Guild Card.
I don’t have any intention of proactively going on adventures, but it seems like various things will get annoying without ID after all, and I want to maintain a way of earning money too.
My purpose of going to the church is to dispel the curse.
I experienced trouble this morning too, but I really would like to hurry up and get rid of the curses on this robe and knife.
I’m aware that the idea of ‘removing curses = church’ is largely influenced by the games I’ve played, but given that I can’t think of anything else there’s no choice but to try.
Since the curse really exists, I think there should exist a method to dispel it too after all, and even if the church can’t do it, if I talk to them about my problems they’ll probably teach me how to approach it.
A helping hand to the lost lambs.

The church was apparently somewhat closer to the inn, so I’ll head there first.
Apparently the inn I stayed in is in the western side of town, but the church is in front of the estate of the ruler’s residence in the northern side, and the Adventurers Guild is near the eastern gate.
Turning left at the central plaza, I walked northwards along the road that intersected the east-west road.
After walking for a while, I could see a large building before me.
That’s probably the estate of the lord of this town.
In that case, does that mean the church is that building whose distinguishing feature are the spires?
I arbitrarily had the image of ‘church = cross’ but thinking about it carefully, that’s only limited to the Christians of my old world, and the churches of this world have no crosses.
Upon walking as far as the entrance, I could see beyond the open doors a dignified room that you could call a holy temple.
Benches were lined up, and there was a podium further in, and a person who appeared to be a priest was currently preaching.
Enshrined inside was a divine looking statue of a goddess, and people were sitting on the benches and offering prayers towards that statue.

Mn, there’s no mistake that this is the church.
But still, with such a pure atmosphere, it seems that I can hold some hopes for getting this curse dispelled.
With lightened steps, I headed towards the entrance and went through that do-…MIGYAH-!?
The moment I tried to head through the door I collided face-first into the invisible wall that was there.

Taking a staggered step backwards because of the impact I took to the face, in front of me was a crack in space.
What’s, with this?
Finding it strange, I timidly gave it a poke, when the crack widened from where my finger was, and with a light -pan- sound, something that was surrounding the church ruptured and disappeared.

“Ah.”

Could this possibly be that? A barrier or something?
A barrier charged with holy power in order to ward off foreign enemies… Wai-, no, no, then why did I get repelled?
And moreover, with just a light poke it so easily broke too.

“… … … … … … …”

“… … … … … … …”

“… … … … … … …”

“… … … … … … …”

When I happened to glance that way, I found that everybody in the church was looking at me, frozen up.
It seems that the sound of the barrier breaking earlier resounded inside too, and they were paying attention to my every action.
Um~mm, I think that the possibility of the barrier breaking is only at a ‘not completely non-existent’ level, but I realised that from an outsider’s point of view, it looked like I had obviously destroyed the barrier.
Now that it’s come to this────

“… … … … … … …Strategic retreat.”

I desperately made a smile, and tilted my head in confusion before quickly leaving the scene.

I don’t hear any screaming behind me, I don’t hear any screaming behind me.
That my hood had been thrown off when I bumped into the barrier was something that I only realised after I made it as far as the central plaza.
Frantically putting my hood back on, I decided to take a breather at a cafe by the plaza.

While sipping the black tea I ordered, I thought about what just happened.
It seems possible that the church had some kind of holy protection cast on it, but why did I have to get repelled by it?
I’m a human, and not a devil or anything… Wai-, is this because of the 『Child of the Evil God』 titlee!?
Mn, I can’t think of any other reason after all, and it probably isn’t wrong.
Do people with this title get treated as non-humans? So troublesome.
Like I thought, I really do want to give that evil god a punch.

With things as they are, it would probably be better not to go near the church for now.
I had my face seen without a hood on after all, and I accidentally met eyes with them so with the effect of the mystic eyes, it won’t turn into anything good.
It seems that for now I have no choice but to give up on the curse removal as well.
While drinking my black tea, I let out a deep sigh.

    1. I know right? I’m torn between loling and feeling sympathy x.x Fight on Anri-chan. And she really did curse the bed. Omg it’s going to be hard to live daily life when you’re a walking remodeling machine. She should take my advice and become an Overlord! That way no one can say anything about her fancy black bed, fancy black dress, and fancy black cake XD. With this I’m sure the underwear was effected too lol.

      6. It was, just not mentioned. The term of the passive skill is intent or maintain contact for one hour.

        The only way to avoid the effect is to have the target refuse accept the Blessing. Wherever she goes she will bless everything she remains contact with for extended periods.

        Not clear yet if direct contact with skin is required. If so then the robe will protect things from her Blessing when she is properly dressed. She just needs to remember to never maintain contact for an extended time.

        It could be interesting if she gets a ride in a carriage or wagon and has to keep a tight grip on a handhold without wearing gloves

  3. I can clearly imagine that bed following her around like a dog. She’s going to be running around the continent trailing a pile of pitch-black cursed goods.

    My thanks to you, O esteemed holy sheeprabbit.

    1. “The target can be both organic or inorganic, but in the case of enchanting a living being, the target is required to accept.”

      ‘ ‘a Still waiting for someone to ‘accepts’ to help her, and she ‘thinks’ (read: consciously) about protecting the person.

      Then instantly get herself the first follower.

      Whether it’s a Black Knight or a Black Maid (like a certain headmaid serving a useless meat maou) is up for debate though.

  7. So laid back, that’s prolly how I would be.

    ‘I completely changed the hotels furniture, I wonder if the owners will get mad. Oh well. I’ll just deal with it later.’
    ‘I just destroyed a protective barrier of a church. Oh well. I’ll just go get some tea.’

  11. What she should do with the knife is sell it to some thugs before she depart the city. Although she does not need money, some extra cash won’t help.

    1. It would be a nice way to scam some idiots since the tantou would fly back to her. It sounds like the tantou flies back to her hand rather than teleport and appear there, so that would be a problem.

  15. Wow, although I feel bad for her, why in hells name did she go to the church? I mean, I feel like anyone that is not braindead should have realised that it would probably not be a good idea with all the evil god stuff that she has. She has more chances to fix her curse by going to the underworld and kicking the ass of the “evil god guy” than by going to the church, she will only start a holy crusade against her if she does that.

    Thanks for the chapter!

    1. Churches are where you go to dispel curses.. like for example, her clothes? If she was lucky, they might be able to suppress the effects of her dark attributes so it really was worth a shot.

  17. Just waiting to see what happens when she grants her divine protection to a living creature and creates a rabid demonic berserker or something (personally hoping for a troupe of succubi for obvious reasons)

  20. I’m kinda hoping a “hero” as in, a guy who has skills that are the polar opposite of hers (i.e : blessed by the god humans worship) will appear in the story later and the guy sympathises with her plight (I’m imagining his story about him being brought too this world unwillingly just like she was and he was thrown into the demon realm instead of the human realm XD)

  33. So, she breaks a holy barrier by poking it, then meets eyes with the priests etc, causing them to be frozen in terror… she decides it’s not a good idea to stay, walks away and… goes to a random café to sip some tea? eeeeh? wouldn’t they come hunting her? She’s not exactly hard to find with that robe and all, right? how come you stay in town after that? She seemed like a smart gal after all…
