I don't want to be an elf!

He gritted his teeth and uttered a name.

Can't go wrong.

He should have thought of it earlier.

This person, who joined Tendo Kisara's company, tried every means to meet the Holy Emperor, had the ability to kill Hiruko Kagetane, a mechanical warrior, and whose background and origins were extremely mysterious, must be the mastermind behind this vortex.

This woman ruined his plan to summon the Zodiac Gastrea.

This woman provided the Holy Emperor with damaging information about government officials.

This is the woman who manipulates everyone.

No matter how the investigation proceeded, there was nothing suspicious about her identity.

But this does not mean she is innocent; on the contrary, it confirms that there is something wrong with her identity!

Just as Kikunojo Tendo finally understood the trap set by Nia Honjo, on the television, the Holy Emperor had already moved on to the second topic.

"In addition, I have another piece of good news to announce."

After announcing the imminent completion of the new megalith, the Holy Emperor invited Tendo Kisara into the frame.

As planned, Tian Tongmu carefully handed over a jar of blue potion, placed in an exquisite little box, to the Holy Emperor.

"This is a medicine manufactured by a research institution in Tokyo."

The Holy Emperor suppressed his excitement as much as possible and displayed this potion called Hope to all the people of Tokyo: "Its function is to completely eliminate the Gastrea virus in the bodies of the cursed children, allowing them to turn back into humans!"

The reporters were all taken aback by these words.

But soon, seeing the Holy Emperor's serious expression, they all started asking questions like madmen.

This is even more shocking than the Tendo Kazumitsu embezzlement case.

In fact, that's exactly what happened.

Corruption is everywhere, but an anti-corruption agent is something that no country has been able to develop.

As journalists, their keen sense of smell naturally told them what this meant.

If this medicine is genuine, then Tokyo will become the focus of the world in the future, the epicenter of the fight against gastroenteritis.

Faced with the barrage of questions from reporters, the Holy Emperor chose not to answer any of them.

"I know that everyone here must be full of doubts, and the citizens of Tokyo watching on television also find it hard to believe the authenticity of the drug," the Holy Emperor said calmly. "The Tokyo government has no intention of hiding the drug's formula. All the experimental reports, manufacturing methods, and drug ingredients have been published on the Tokyo government's official website, and anyone can check them."

This is another bombshell.

The Holy Emperor's statement temporarily silenced the doubts of all those who did not believe in her.

Because the Holy Emperor had no reason to lie.

If all information about this medicine is given out for free, a professional organization will soon conduct experiments to determine its authenticity.

At the Tendo residence, even the furious Tendo Kikunojo was slightly taken aback.

He hated the cursed son.

The reason is simply because they also have gastrulatory viruses in their bodies and will one day become gastrulatory organisms.

They can be considered to be the larvae of Gastrea.

However, with the advent of the erosion rate inhibitor, the gastrulatory virus in the cursed child's body will be completely eliminated.

Given this, does he still have any reason to continue hating the Cursed Son?

Perhaps it's no longer there.

However, the feud between him and Nia Honjo could not be easily resolved.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

Just then, Kikunojo Tendo's phone rang.

However, he had no intention of talking to anyone right now and hung up the phone directly.

However, the other party seemed determined to speak with Kikunojo Tendo and kept attacking.

It wasn't until Kikunojo Tendo completely turned off his phone that things finally calmed down.

"What should the Tendo family do in the future?"

Just as he was contemplating the future of the Tendo family, Tendo Kazuhiro, who was sitting next to him seemingly lost in thought, suddenly had his phone ring.

Then, there's Tendo Himin's phone, Tendo Hinata's phone...

At that moment, all the family's high-ranking members gathered in the lobby had their phones ring.

They intertwined to form a chilling melody.

Kikunojo Tendo's eyes turned cold.

He turned his phone back on.

Sure enough, his phone rang.

He answered the phone, and a gentle, refined male voice came through.

"Lord Tiantong, you must be in a difficult situation right now, just like us."

The unfamiliar man spoke on the other end of the phone.

"Since we have a common enemy, why don't we unite to defend our interests? What do you say?"

Chapter Forty-Seven: An Unexpected Guest

Late that night.

"Ugh, how did I end up here...?"

After returning from the Holy City, Honjou Nia, who had been waiting in her own church for most of the day, was drinking beer in a sullen mood.

There were at least seven or eight empty wine cans on the table, and she had almost finished the snacks such as squid strips and fried chicken pieces.

But she still didn't receive the notification she was supposed to receive.

A notification from the system indicating that the main quest has been completed.

"To become a nun spreading the gospel in the Tokyo area."

Watching the press conference held by the Holy Emperor this morning being replayed on TV, Nia Honjo muttered, "The shelter has been built, the megalith has been erected, and the erosion rate inhibitor has been made. Doesn't this count as spreading the gospel?"

She thought that her main mission would be completed after the Holy Emperor announced two major events.

After all, she had already done enough to help the Cursed Child.

Moreover, the main quest only requires you to become a nun spreading the gospel in the Tokyo area, not the whole world. In other words, as long as you can improve the situation in the Tokyo area, the main quest should be completed.

But she hadn't done anything all day, just waiting for the main quest to be completed, yet the system notification screen still hadn't appeared.

She did try calling out the system and asking it questions directly.

However, the system only reacts in the settlement space. When doing tasks in other worlds, the system will not appear at all except for the occasional side quest.

Therefore, Niya can only figure this out herself.

"Could it be that the system really wants me to establish a religion?" She scratched her head and muttered to herself in distress. "But being a pope or something doesn't fit my old lady persona. If I were to actually spread the word, it would only be to the world of anime and manga..."

But obviously, this is impossible.

Leaning back on the beanbag chair, she pondered where her actions fell short.

Or does she need to wait until the influence of this press conference spreads and takes hold, until the Tokyo area truly accepts the cursed child?

Or perhaps she misinterpreted the main quest, and the system not only required her to help the cursed child, but also to help everyone in Tokyo, so that everyone could receive the so-called "gospel"?

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll just go to sleep now."

The alcohol made her mind sluggish.

Her eyelids started to droop, but she didn't intend to fight off sleepiness and obediently closed her eyes.

Just as she was drifting off to sleep, the church door was suddenly flung open.

"mom--!"

Nibekol's voice came through, filled with surprise and excitement: "Guess who's here!"

"Huh? There are still guests so late?"

Forced to open her eyes a crack, Honjou Nia, who had been woken up, waved her hand and yawned, saying, "Whoever it is, tell them to come back tomorrow. I'm exhausted after a long day."

"Trust me, if the situation weren't urgent, I wouldn't want to meet with you."

Just then, an old male voice came from behind Nibekor.

Upon hearing this voice, Honjou Nia was immediately taken aback.

This was not Elder Matsuzaki's voice. Compared to the old man's gentle voice, this voice was far too serious and hoarse.

But she felt that she must have heard such a voice somewhere before.

With blurry vision from drunkenness, Nia Honjo forced herself to look towards the church entrance.

He was an old man dressed in traditional clothes and with a long beard.

Although he was old, his eyes were still as sharp as swords, radiating an aura of authority that made ordinary people afraid to meet his gaze.

"Tendou Kiku no Cheng?!"

The moment she saw the old man, Honjou Nia's eyes widened in shock.

Her internal spiritual energy immediately began to circulate, the dizziness caused by the alcohol disappeared, and her mind instantly became clear.

If she hadn't sensed no hostility from him and felt no danger lurking around, she probably would have already summoned her divine armor to protect herself.

She had to be vigilant.

This is the person in this world who most wants to kill her.

They even sent assassins to try and eliminate her existence.

"What are you doing here?"

Although she was on guard, Nia Honjo was still puzzled by his arrival.
