『Azurack』 is the god who governs over commerce and money.
At that Shrine, you can exchange currency from various countries, deposit money and take out loans — In other words, they are responsible for banking services.
Amongst those who have the divine protection of 『Azurack』, there are many who have the power to 『Distinguish with the person concerned』. It’ll be difficult for a third-party to impersonate another person and steal their bank account.
In 『Azurack’s』 Shrine, there are structures which manage people’s assets called 『Safes』. Within those structures, you can deposit numerical management of money, as well as large amounts of precious metals — Basically, it’s something which serves as a bank account as well as a storehouse.
And in addition to the contents of this business, they employed a powerful private army at 『Azurack’s』 Shrine, it’s as if the armed forces from the Shrine of 『Red God (Afumaru)』 was next to it.
“Latina is clever too. She asked me 『Why is it alright to deposit money into the Shrine』”
“Speaking of which, I had actually never told Latina the story behind the 『Shrines』”
Even though Dale was nodding his head as if he was convinced, Kenneth was of the same opinion as well.
“It seemed like that so I explained it to her. Things like, how holders of 『Divine Protections』 『When it comes to their professional duties, are unable to enact in an unjust conduct』”
“It’s fine for them to act unjust. If it get revealed and is complained about then, they have to receive 『Judgement』. It’s just that once it comes to that, they’ll just have their 『Divine Protection』 erased, and banished at once.”
The greatest reason why 『Shrines』 are responsible for this largely publicized business is because 『Gods strongly protect their own territories』.
Not even the townspeople, truly think that all of the 『People who work at Shrines』 are all benevolent.
However, they believe in 『God’s』 authority.
『Gods』offer protection regarding people within their own 『territories』, on the other hand 『Gods』 do not forgive criminals. Basically, they provide protection by giving 『Divine Protection』 but, that 『Divine Protection』 would be lost should they 『Violate their professional duties』.
Using 『Azurack』 as an example, 『Azurack』 will not lower any judgement for their own apostles with conducts 『equal to crime』 such as murder, rape etc. However, they will not forgive the conducts which 『Disgrace anothers’ assets』 such as embezzlement or theft.
If you inquire about that to 『God』 — if 『Judgement』 is carried out, their 『Divine Protection』 would be extinguished.
There is no compassion there.
『Priests』 are a job which can be comprised only of those with 『Divine Protection』. In other words, to lose your 『Divine Protection』, is the same as being banished from the 『Shrine』.
Saying it differently, 『As long as it’s a matter regarding their professional duty』, it can even be said that 『Priests who have Divine Protection』 are existences who are sufficiently more trustworthy than others.
The 『Judgement』 that Dale had performed previously, can only be permitted through the request of a high ranking priest, an act which was 『Making an appeal to God』.
What 『Yellow God (Asufaru)』 requests of their apostles is, 『To guide those who request knowledge』, as well as, 『To guide those who are lost in the road of life』.
To verbally abuse, and deny a young girl, who is tackling her studies seriously, 『Asufaru』 cannot forgive a comrade like that.
Although they were another god’s apostle, Dale, who holds the position of a high ranking priest, was being agreed with repeatedly.
(TL: それを他神の使徒とはいえ、高位神官位を持つデイルは、重々承知していたのだった)
“…..So, Kenneth. How much….. has Latina saved up currently”
“It’s only been half a year. However since it is that kid, if she goes on like this, she could at least prepare her own dowry by herself, couldn’t she?”
“Don’t say something like that even if it’s an example! Because I won’t give away my kid as something like a brideee!”
Yelling out something like that, Dale was serious.
He was slightly teary eyed.
(Author’s note: I added supplementary information about the previous story….
Latina has grown up slightly. Like I want her to hurry up and grow up, and move onto the main story….. or to celebrate that she still has the feeling of a child, it’s something to worry about as the writer)
(TL: also the title has changed slightly, from young girl to young lady here, as it shows Latina growing up. Furthermore you lovely readers don’t know but, Latina is using more and more kanji in her conversations~ it’s cute :3)
