Becoming a god in Tokyo starts in the bathroom

Having become a de facto orphan, if she cannot find a way to earn money, then she will be living off her savings.

The compensation money left by her parents was barely enough to pay for her university tuition, in accordance with their wishes. Although she was only a second-year high school student, Anzu Matsuori already clearly understood how difficult it was to earn money.

Therefore, when she heard the deity say that she could also receive a share of the incense money from the shrine, Anzu Matsuori was overjoyed, just like a wealthy Hong Kong businessman who was preparing to spend a lot of money to have a child, only to find out that his wife was already pregnant!

"Well, it's not a big deal. When you helped me discover the bathhouse as a channel for recruiting followers, coincidentally, another follower also started spreading the word for me. And although her methods are rather old-fashioned and traditional, they are quite effective!"

He Chen skillfully expressed his views.

The practice of proselytizing by force has existed since ancient times; it's an old and traditional method of missionary work.

"Your task is to keep an eye on things afterwards and pass on some instructions. They've just started their promotional campaign, and if I show up too directly, it'll look too low-class."

He Chen plans to convey divine will through Xing Nan Songzhi.

Despite his seemingly unpretentious demeanor in front of Anami Matsuori, he has never actually communicated or spoken to any other believers.

Aside from Anzu Matsuori, his status among believers was actually quite high.

As for the reason?

Ahem, I was worried about my character's image collapsing, oh no, my divine image.

What if he chats with the pretty believers and can't help but flirt, or says something tasteless? Wouldn't he be instantly embarrassed?

If that believer then spreads the word to other believers...

He Chen probably only has one way to remedy this: make this believer spend the rest of his life on the toilet!

Chapter 81 Traditional Missionary Methods

'Great, that works! How do other believers spread the word? Is it through lotteries?'

Anyway, according to the deity, all she had to do was relay a message, so of course it was fine.

Young and naive Anzu Matsuori readily agreed after hearing He Chen's suggestive remarks, and was even curious about how other believers proselytized.

Tsk, he still lacks social experience!

This is a warning to all young people who haven't yet entered the workforce: DO NOT go to Tokyo to apply for acting jobs, especially those that don't specify which movies! You'll get scammed terribly! I witnessed the whole process myself! It was awful!

"Ahem, good that you agreed! As for proselytizing... let's not go for something as modern as a lottery; we need to keep it a bit more traditional."

He Chen patiently and gently explained the story.

'Even more ancient? Could it be that they directly take passersby and tell them about the power of the gods, essentially proselytizing?'

"Hey! It's very close! In terms of form, there's practically no difference!"

He Chen encouraged the young believer to continue guessing with a joyful tone.

Well, to be honest, Anno Yuzuki and her group did take this step during their missionary work, except that the people they were dragged into the missionary work weren't just random passersby.

Hey, if we look at it from a different perspective, maybe this is actually a deluxe version of missionary work?

After all, if someone is religious, giving them a gift is perfectly normal, right?

So, giving a beating before joining the church is just a gift!

Why were they beaten before they even joined the church?

Hey~ Anyway, after the beating, you definitely have to worship the god [the god of the bathroom]!

Hmm? What if I don't believe you?

Haha, the person who asked that question clearly didn't hear what was said before. I already said, you get beaten up before you join the cult.

If you haven't joined the church, then of course we'll continue to give you gifts!

After the young believer guessed wrong twice, He Chen knew that the time was right and it was time to give the young believer a lesson in society.

So he cleared his throat and immediately said in an exaggerated and surprised tone:

"That's right, their method of proselytizing is to stop a group of delinquent girls, beat them up, and then use force to convert them to their religion~ Isn't that traditional! It's said that religions did this hundreds of years ago~"

"..."

At the entrance of the bathhouse, opposite the shrine, Anzu Matsuori froze on the spot, her expression instantly changing from relaxed to a sarcastic one!

This is nothing like traditional missionary work! It's completely different in form!

There's absolutely no one else who spreads their faith entirely through beatings, except for S丨!

And why would any believer do such a thing?! Shouldn't the gods' followers be mostly students from their school?! Are the students at their school really that twisted?!

Who would actually be willing...?

Ok? !

A picture suddenly flashed through Anzu Matsuori's mind, and her eyes widened even more in an instant:

'My Lord, the person you speak of who helps you spread your faith, could it be...?'

Anzu Matsuori was speechless.

It couldn't possibly be those girls, could it?!

What kind of being would, after being beaten up by themselves, start repeating the strange things they did to others?!

That would be utterly perverted!

A delinquent girl and a pervert... if you have both identities at the same time, your life is ruined!

Moreover, I always feel that people who have both identities are generally not seen in mainstream anime or movies that can be broadcast!

"Ahem, that's right, it's those delinquent girls who just joined the cult and became my followers yesterday~ Don't worry, you don't need to fight for them! I promise!"

Now that we have Yuzuki Anno, we can leave the matter of violent proselytizing to her.

Although Yuzuki Anno doesn't seem to be very bright, after being empowered by divine power, this trait subtly enhances her role in spreading faith.

After all, what if you were blocked by a not-so-bright, incredibly strong, strong enough to actually unscrew your skull...

You'd better just do whatever she says.

Otherwise... tsk, the more stubborn you are, the harsher her sentence will be!

"Your goal is to guide them to recruit more believers correctly, and to tell them to promote my other functions as well, not just my destructive functions!"

He Chen was not worried about Anno Yuzuki's ability to spread the faith.

However, judging from her state after receiving divine power, He Chen was quite worried that, in the course of the promotion, Anno Yuzuki directly changed all his gods to "God of Destruction".

Oh, and also, be responsible for telling them:

Spreading faith is fine, but does it lead to death?

It's one thing to teach a bad lesson, but what about ordinary students and passersby?

Force can be used to fight evil with evil, but He Chen is not willing to see it used to bully ordinary people, even those who are living a good life.

After He Chen explained his ideas to Anzu Matsuori, Anzu Matsuori had so many complaints that she didn't know where to begin.

This is not the right way to recruit believers from any perspective!

They acquire followers through beatings, while simultaneously demanding that these followers not bully anyone other than troublemakers...

It can even make people feel sorry for those who are bad!

I have a feeling that these delinquents who are being beaten are suffering on behalf of the world!

What kind of nonsense is this about delinquents saving the world by getting beaten up?!

......

After holding it in for a while and managing to calm herself down, Anzu Matsuori tentatively said to He Chen:

'My Lord, you are now a mature deity; it's time for you to connect with more believers. I think you should try speaking directly to that scoundrel!'

'You must become independent, my lord!'

Yes, under He Chen's guidance, in just one or two days, the girl has become much more worldly, and she can now make heartfelt and emotionally intelligent refusals.

But is He Chen, this deity, someone a mere believer can "change the deity's mind with just three sentences using high emotional intelligence"?

"Is that so? I was thinking that since you've helped me so much, I'd give you 20,000 or 30,000 yen from my donation money every day. Sigh, I guess I'll be independent then. Hmm, I won't share the donation money with you anymore; I'm going to start by being financially independent!"

'...'

Ding!

Anzu Matsuori was completely bewildered.

Ding!

Anzu Matsuori began to weigh the pros and cons.

"Whoo~"

'...My Lord, I suddenly realize that as long as I don't have to fight, spending time with other believers is actually quite nice.'

With the daily temptation of 20,000 to 30,000 yen, the issue of associating with delinquent girls doesn't seem like such a big problem anymore.

At worst, I can just wear a mask?

Did they see their own faces clearly at that time? It was so late and dark, they probably didn't.

Just think of it as working! Earning money is nothing to be ashamed of!

Chapter 82: Visually Stunning

When the effects of the divine blessing in the bath had almost completely dissipated, the last group of bathers reluctantly came out.

After stopping them again and explicitly refusing their idea of ​​taking a bag or a cup of bathwater back, Anzu Matsuori personally flushed the pot of bathwater away amidst their regretful gazes.

It's ridiculous that she has to worry about someone secretly taking her bathwater home, and after the other person expresses this wish to her, she can't call them a pervert. This is quite a painful and bizarre experience.

After doing all this, Grandma Kubo yawned and began to close the shop. The believers who had taken a bath and had nothing to do for the time being tried again to get Anzu Matsuori to go out and have some fun, but Anzu Matsuori refused again.

After bidding farewell to Grandma Kubo and promising everyone that she would come again to collect incense offerings and bless the bathhouse when the shop reopened the next day, Anzu Matsuori finally embarked on her journey home.

Carrying those three pounds of cash.

"Ugh, I'm so tired!"

Back in her room, Anzu Matsuori collapsed onto the sofa, the coins clinking against her body, their clinking sounds causing the little believer's expression to constantly shift between exhaustion and joy.

"My Lord God, come, come, let's count the money!"
