Surviving as a Cult Leader in Another World (Going up)

The road to Barakhan took about a month.

By carriage and boat—it was quite a long journey, but it was very inconvenient and bothersome.

"We finally arrived."

But-.

Anyway, we arrived at Barakhan before we knew it.

The journey of the past month unfolded before my eyes.

Ride a carriage, eat and sleep.

Riding in a carriage, eating, and sleeping in the open-.

Wow, it was hard.

Milione's irritation is at its peak.

"Finally, the boring carriage life is over! Now no one can stop me!"

The tiger that was stressed out in a cage seemed to be happy to see the vast jungle as it raised both hands with a roar.

What kind of accident will this guy get into in Barakhan─.

I was nervous in many ways, but fortunately I had allies.

"Hyde! "My friend!"

"Alter."

There was a person who came out to meet us at the entrance of Barakhan.

He was a knight wearing armor so white that it looked like silver, and his platinum-blond hair was cut nicely, so he had a handsome appearance.

The person with a grin was very white, as if he had cleaned it with something, and his face didn't have any blemishes.

This guy was a paladin, Alter.

He was one of the seven knights of the kingdom and the older brother of Milione Archibald.

"Hyde, I enjoyed reading volumes 4 and 5 of Back Alley Nymph's Village that you sent me. I really liked the story of many nymphs appearing and uniting and joining forces."

Alter was a person with good eyesight who was able to take an interesting look at my masterpiece, "Village of Back Alley Nymphs."

Alter looked at me, Psyche, and Milione.

He especially paid attention to Milione and spoke with quite admiration.

"Millie doesn't have any injuries. It looks like you were doing well. Hyde, as expected, leaving my sister in your care was the right answer."

"No, I wasn't quiet at all. Even I can't handle your sister."

Milione.

How many accidents did this guy cause!

"Do you know why the roof of that carriage flew off?"

It would really take a whole day to talk about this.

However, Alter laughed haha.

"If my youngest brother has healthy arms and legs, he has been well-behaved! Ruler! Anyway, welcome to Barakhan! Hyde, is this your first time at Barakhan?"

That's right.

This was my first time at Barakhan.

A city with a population of 300,000.

It was a huge city, and it was so big and had so much to see, right?

Alter said.

"His Holiness the Pope's knighthood ceremony is tomorrow, so there is still time today. Since you seem to have arrived earlier than expected, I thought I would show you around the city. How about that?"

I liked it.

However, I thought everyone would be tired, but Psyche also liked it.

"I like it too!"

Psyche has been unable to calm down since the day before Barakhan's arrival.

I don't know if he was excited and nervous about being appointed as a knight, or for some other reason, but he seemed full of energy.

Soon, Alter bowed his head politely towards Psyche and spoke.

"Madame Agarpe, then would you mind if I give you guidance on your trip?"

"… Madame Agarpe! Hyde! Sir Alter is a very polite person!"

Psyche was happy.

Did she like being treated like a married woman?

Well, no matter where she went or who she met, Psyche was treated as an unmarried virgin.

Soon the maids who had followed our journey looked at this and started whispering.

"Don't those two look great together?"

"I know! It's like a complete painting!"

"If the proposal had been from Sir Alter Archibald rather than Oscar Archibald, wouldn't Lady Psyche have accepted it?"

What's wrong?

When I glanced at them, the maids who had been squealing fell silent.

I wanted to say something, but I held back.

Indeed─.

Now I see that the aura created by Psyche and Alter is causing people to have vain imaginations and delusions!

In fact, Psyche and Alter seemed like a well-matched pair.

If Lars and Rust were a duo that seemed to get along well like Bonnie and Clyde—.

Psyche and Alter were also colleagues who worked together on many operations.

Because they were both deeply religious and pious people.

In fact, the story was still going well.

"Psyche, is what she is holding in her hand the fourth volume of 'The Village of the Backstreet Nymphs'?"

"Yes that's right. Have you ever read it?"

"Yes. I think the part about the honey ants is very good, so I am reading it several times. It may seem like a children's fairy tale, but there is a lot to learn from watching it."

We communicate well.

It feels like seeing the friendly church youth members.

How long has it been since Psyche had such a smooth conversation with a man other than me?

The men who spoke to Psyche were people with lustful desires like Nicholas and Loras.

Soon Milione poked my side and said.

"Isn't Psyche cheating? Can I leave it like this?"

Psyche is having an affair?

You're welcome!

I never thought that way.

Psyche is a woman I recognize!

It was clear that no matter what man flirted with me, I would never cheat!

Even though, like Sarah, Abraham's wife, she gets flirted with everywhere she goes!

Also, Alter Archibald was a trustworthy man.

There are no evil people among those who like my masterpiece, "Village of Back Alley Nymphs."

It's not as good as me, a gold medalist, but Alter Archibald can be considered godly.

About a silver medal.

However, Milione kept whispering to me in a low voice.

"Is there such a thing as a trustworthy human being? Rust said. He said that the more good people pretend to be in the front, the worse they do behind the scenes. "Don't you think you're talking about just those two?"

"What?"

Milione, you bead-like bitch!

Don't keep whispering evil and treacherous words into my ear!

I wanted to scold him loudly, but since it was a long time since I had come to the capital Barakhan, I spoke solemnly.

"Millie, you can't take Rust's word for it. He just says whatever comes out of his mouth. He probably doesn't know what he's talking about. Are you insulting the world? It's a funny story. "You're a total liar."

Milione frowned at my words.

"What? That's because you didn't see him eating the land!"

Milione, you crazy bitch!

In this city with so many pilgrims, you can say things like 'pick and eat' without shame.

I spoke as if scolding.

"Don't be ridiculous! How can people insult the earth? This is ridiculous! From what I've seen, he's a Sukmaek who has never had a girlfriend! Even if I get married, I won't even be able to get over the bridge!"

"Hey! Take back that statement! Do you think Rust is like you? It's different from you! Rust is a real monster! Hyde, I thought you would be different, but you are just like any other child!"

I really want to bang my head against the wall.

Milione, who had been angry, now took a breath and spat.

"Joy. Even though you say that, isn't everyone having a hard time with him? "Hyde, you boasted that you could deal with that Rust, but in the end you couldn't even figure out the part, right?"

Milione, this guy's mouth is open, and he's saying anything!

It was then.

Alter approached us and clenched his fist.

"You were talking about Rust, right? I heard it too. I heard that Lady Agarpe was appointed as the 7th Knight in order to capture Rust. Hyde, I'll help as much as I can! Only then can you and your wife return to a normal, happy daily life!"

Should I call this reliable?

Should I say thank you?

You'll help me catch me!

# ​ ​​​ ​ ​ ​ # ​ ​ #

There were many ruins and historical relics in the capital Barakhan.

We arrived at the gate where the Savior entered on a donkey and admired the bricks.

Indeed─.

"Look at this! Donkey footprints have been preserved! They say they preserved the footprints of the donkey the Savior rode on! They say they even bake bricks with footprints stamped on them and sell them as souvenirs!"

Psyche was startled and made a fuss.

Like Psyche's horse, there was a floor with donkey footprints that was protected by a fence.

Of course, Milione looked sulky and sulky.

"It's all lies. How do we preserve the footprints taken back then? "They are using a trick to sell souvenirs to pilgrims!"

"No! That's not true! This is real!"

Milione begins to quarrel with Psyche.

At that time, an old couple approached us.

"Those are pilgrims over there, right? Is this your honeymoon? They are such wonderful people that they go on a pilgrimage to a holy place as a couple. The bride is beautiful, and the groom is handsome too!"

The old couple seemed to know that we were newlyweds at a glance.

They immediately spoke to Psyche.

"We bought a lot of souvenirs to give to our relatives and cousins. Because the bricks are a bit heavy. "Could you have your servants move us to our lodgings?"

The old couple said that and looked at me.

I was embarrassed.

"Who. Me?"

"Is it so. Midbarin. "Aren't you this couple's servant?"

The couple who said that was looking at Alter and Psyche.

Alter and Psyche are your wives, and I am their servant?

When I was embarrassed, Milione opened her mouth wide and burst out laughing.

"He's a servant! Servant! It's so funny! Puhahahaha! Haha! The couple's servant! Haha! Hehe! Hehe!!!"

You crazy bitch!

Is this something to laugh at?

However, I thought I should clear up the misunderstanding.

"Madam, you misunderstand. I am the husband of the woman over here. However, I am a more godly person than anyone else, so I will help you carry your luggage."

"Oh my goodness! Such a mistake! The atmosphere between the two people matches so well that I couldn't help but think they were a couple. Oh my, this was rude."

It was an old couple laughing, ho-ho-ho.

Perhaps my vision is blurred due to old age and droopy eyelids.

Your vision will be blurry.

If I had been sane, I would have been able to recognize that I was more pious than anyone else and that I was a devout pilgrim like the one in the picture.

Since it is common for people to lose their judgment due to old age, I decided to be generous and forgive the old couple.

Soon Psyche spoke.

"Hyde, you're willing to lift the old couple's heavy burden…" ! As expected, you have a kind heart… !"

It was like that.

Where else is there a good person like me?

But─.

"Hmph!"

The luggage was heavier than I thought, and I had a hard time lifting the pile of bricks.

Oh my gosh, how many bricks did you buy and put in the package!

These greedy old people!

"I will help you."

In the end, Alter Archibald lifted the luggage with one hand.

People who are amazed by the sight-.

"Look over there. Sir Alter Archibald."

"Are you helping an old couple?"

"There is no one as kind as Sir Alter Archibald."

All that credit and recognition should have been mine!

Soon Alter spoke.

"Hyde, I think I unintentionally stole the praise that was due to you."

"No. Are you okay? It's not like I'm asking for praise."

"Okay? "It's my first time seeing someone as humble as you."

Zek-.

Finally arrived at the accommodation.

Soon the old woman of the old couple spoke to Psyche.

"I thought you and that young knight were a married couple. There was no malice, so please forgive me. However, since I was a young lady, I have seen something called physiognomy. "I was pretty good at reading fortunes."

Contemplation?

While I was frowning, the old woman started talking arbitrarily.

"You look great with that tall blonde knight over there! "You were born in the fall, right?"

"That's right. "How did you know I was born in the fall?"

"It looks just like that, so what! And that knight was probably born in the summer. They are a very good pair. In comparison, this black young man…"

After – an old woman sighing.

It looked very uncomfortable somewhere.

Did the person who said he was on a pilgrimage talk nonsense like 'contemplation' and then end up dying?

The old woman, out of breath, spoke.

"Not this guy. This is my first time experiencing such a bizarre fortune. You are going to die young! "It's a prize that will send you to hell!"

What?

As wrinkles appear on the face as we age, do the wrinkles smooth out in the brain?

Maybe it's because my eyes are dim, but my perspective is also crooked!

When you get old, don't go on a pilgrimage to a holy place, but go to heaven quickly!

Psyche got angry instead of me.

"Grandma! You can't say things like that! What a godly and faithful man my husband Hyde is! What a premature death! "Hyde is not that kind of person!"

However, the old woman laughed.

From her pocket, she handed me a rosary made from a jujube-shaped rosary.

"This is a magical item made from carved olive seeds. If you have this on your body, your fortune will improve. "I'm not giving it to just anyone, but I'll give it to you especially cheaply for 5 gold coins!"

You look like an old fraud!

You're finally showing your true colors.

I heard there are scammers who rip off tourists at tourist attractions, and they were here!

I said to the old woman.

"No need. You said you were giving the bricks you bought as souvenirs to your friends back home, right? I'm not giving it as a gift, but if you sell it at a high price to people who don't know anything, you will be punished. Live honestly from now on. "Before you receive the punishment of having your lifespan drained and the bottom of your face itching like a mosquito bite every time you lie."

"The young man says all sorts of strange things. There are all sorts of strange punishments. I've never even heard of such a heavenly punishment? Thank you for the advice."

Sseukseu-.

The old woman said that and scratched her cheek.

It seems to be itchy, as if bitten by a mosquito.

I thought there was nothing good at staying with them any longer, so I walked away.

Soon Psyche walked beside him and became angry.

"I guess it was a fraud. "I thought they were kind people because they were a very kind-looking old couple."

They certainly looked like a kind old couple.

I don't know if they are a real couple or not.

"Originally, many scammers, heretics, and cults appear to be good people. So people accept them without caution."

"Okay. But I thought the capital Barakhan would be different from other cities, but there are a lot of strange and rude people here too! I was a little disappointed."

Psyche was disappointed, but I was not disappointed.

I didn't even expect it to begin with.

No matter where you go in the human world, everything is the same.

Even in the 21st century, there are a lot of rude con artists, so in this barbaric world, where do you go, is there any difference?

However, the alter who guided us scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"Hyde, I tried to give you a good experience, but I ended up feeling sorry. But you will like where we go from now on. It's Barakhan's Scholar! "University!"

University of Barakhan.

It's an excellent educational institution comparable to the seminary in Antioch, right?

There, people would know about the greatness and piety of Hyde.

I didn't know that my "Back Alley Nymph's Village," Which I brought in so many packages, would sell like hot cakes.

Suddenly I felt worried.

"What if my "Village of Backstreet Nymphs" Becomes so popular that it is used as a textbook? "I only brought 100 books."
