The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

“Then issue a statement in your own capacity,” Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

Yes, Steele can only represent himself, but since he is widely known as a member of the Church of Necessary Evil of the Anglican Church, whenever he sends a message, people will mistakenly believe that it is a message from the Church of Necessary Evil of the Anglican Church.

Of course, this is on the premise that neither side issues a denial.

Otherwise, Steele's proclamation would be a proclamation of the Anglican Church and the Church of Necessary Evil.

"Is everything alright?" Ishihara Sho asked Osora beside him.

"Okay." Just in time, Osora also wanted to confirm whether the method of interpreting the Book of Law, which prevented her from returning to her church and even forced her to change her affiliation by Ishihara Sho, was correct.

"Then you can go talk over there." To avoid Osora misunderstanding that they wanted the method to decipher her Book of Law, Ishihara Akira pointed to a secluded corner not far away.

“Okay.” Afterwards, Osora and Index walked over and huddled together, discussing in hushed tones how to decipher the ciphers in the Book of Law.

"What are you going to do with these people?" After the two walked away, Steele looked at the Roman Catholic nuns who were being controlled by Ishihara Sho and asked.

"Later I will fabricate false memories in their minds, making them believe that their operation has failed, and then withdraw them to the Roman Catholic Church for punishment," Ishihara Akira said with a smile, looking at the many lovely girls in front of him.

“I thought you were going to just kill them,” Stiyl said softly.

"I'm not a serial killer. Besides, I have no interest in confronting the Roman Catholic Church right now. Of course, if the Roman Catholic Church doesn't intend to let Orsola go afterward or continues to cause me trouble, I wouldn't mind stirring up world unrest." Ishihara Akira spoke calmly, as if he were talking about a trivial matter rather than a major event that could cause world unrest.

"Therefore, in order to avoid this worst-case scenario, your statement becomes extremely important. So I hope that once you have confirmed the truth of the two over there, you can immediately pass on the relevant information through the channels you have access to, otherwise..." Ishihara Akira said calmly, looking at Index and Osora not far away.

“I understand. As soon as we can confirm this, I will immediately mobilize all available resources to spread the message,” Stiyl said solemnly.

Not long after she finished speaking, Index returned with a dejected Osora.

Although it hasn't been explained yet, both Ishihara Shou and Stiyl can see that Orsola's so-called method of interpreting the Book of Law is probably wrong...

“Osora’s interpretation is wrong. Moreover, it was discovered thirty years ago and was also included in the Roman Catholic Church’s records,” Index answered on Osora’s behalf.

"So, the Roman Catholic Church knew that Orsola's interpretation was wrong, yet they still caused all this trouble?" Touma Kamijou asked incredulously.

"Yes," Index nodded affirmatively.

"Why would they do this?" Touma Kamijou asked, puzzled.

"It's probably to intimidate, to intimidate all those who want to interpret the Book of Law, so that they dare not interpret it anymore. At the same time, it's also to announce our existence to the world, thereby enhancing the prestige of the Roman Catholic Church in the magical realm, and so on," Steele replied, picking up where he left off.

"Just for this inexplicable reason, we have to sacrifice Osora's life?" Touma Kamijou felt the cruelty of the magical world more and more.

Stiyl did not respond, but his silence was an affirmation.

"For those in high positions of power, human lives are nothing to them. So let alone an Orsola, if they need to, or for their own benefit, they would start a war and cause countless deaths, which are just numbers to them. So it's best not to think of them as too righteous," Ishihara Akira chuckled.

Kamijou Touma fell silent, his mood becoming heavy.

Is this the irrational world? It is indeed cruel and dark.

"Alright, Stiyl, go send the message. I'll deal with these people, then we can all go our separate ways and go home." Ishihara Akira said, walking towards Yannis and the others, activating his ability to weave future memories for them…

Chapter 643 Reaction

"Kanzaki, the matters on the Roman Catholic Church side are settled, but some finishing touches still need your cooperation." After sending Stiyl to deliver the message, Ishihara Akira also took out his phone and contacted Kanzaki Kaori.

“Just tell me what you want me to do,” Kanzaki Kaori replied.

“Is that so…” Ishihara Akira didn’t stand on ceremony and explained the Roman Catholic Church’s plans, or rather, the true cause and effect of this incident and its hidden secrets, to Kanzaki Kaori before continuing, “What I need you to do now is to spread this information in your capacity! By the way, don’t hide yourself, and don’t mention that you want to leave the Anglican Church yet. Let’s see how the Anglican Church reacts after they find out about this. If it’s acceptable, you can stay with the Anglican Church to avoid direct conflict between us and the Anglican Church. If the reaction is very strong, then you can announce your departure from the Anglican Church and your return to the Illuminati.”

"I understand, I'll spread the word right away." Kanzaki Kaori readily agreed without refusing.

“Hmm. Now, all that’s left is the reaction from the Roman Catholic Church,” Ishihara Sho said softly.

He then hung up the phone and waited for news from Steel.

Soon after, Steel also returned.

“I’ve released the message. As for whether it will achieve the effect you hope for, I don’t know,” Stiyl said.

"The message has been sent out. Now that we've finished dealing with things here, we won't stay any longer and cause any more trouble. We'll be leaving now. If anything comes up, we can keep in touch by phone," Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

"Then you should leave your number," Steele reminded him.

"Look at me." Ishihara Sho pretended to react by slapping his forehead before giving his number.

Stiyl noted it down, and even called it on his phone right there to confirm there were no problems before letting Ishihara Sho and Osora leave, and then turned back to deal with the issues with the Roman Catholic nuns.

"Where's Orsola?" Yannis, who had recovered after a moment, frowned and asked as he looked at the scene where only they, Stiyl, Touma Kamijou, and Index were present.

……

“Now it’s time for you to give me your final answer.” On the way out, Ishihara Sho asked Osora again about the question he had raised before—whether or not to grant him certain requests.

"Wasn't there no set time? Why do I have to answer now?" Osora asked in surprise.

"Because things are different now. Before, you still harbored some illusions about the Roman Catholic Church and hadn't made up your mind to completely break away from it, so I allowed you to be half-hearted and stall for time by thinking things through. But now I've personally shattered those illusions, and you haven't received any promises of protection from the Anglican Church. In other words, your only place to go now is with me. Plus, I've helped you resolve the Roman Catholic Church's problems, so it's only right that you give me something in return, isn't it? Otherwise, wouldn't I be at a huge loss?"

"How can you measure the gains and losses when it comes to saving lives?"

"That's for a pure religious person like you. For me, especially for someone like me who believes in the Yang Zhu school of thought, there must be a return on investment. Otherwise, it's harming my own interests, which goes against the principles I believe in. So I have no choice but to pursue it."

"..."

"Does that mean that once we've done *that* kind of thing, our relationship is considered settled?" After a long silence, Osora asked again.

“How could we possibly be even?” Ishihara Akira chuckled.

His appearance was a lifesaver for Orsola. In other words, without his appearance, although Touma Kamijou would still help solve all the problems, it wouldn't have been so simple, sparing her so much pain. So, from any perspective, his existence was of great significance to Orsola. But what does that matter?

If someone likes you and values ​​you, your efforts will be worthwhile to them. As for how much, it depends entirely on how important you are to them. But if they don't value you, even if you give yourself away for free, they'll still find you disgusting and there's nothing you can do about it.

Therefore, there is absolutely no possibility that the two are equal!

Ishihara Sho wouldn't let her off so easily.

"Besides, haven't you always been pursuing power? After doing that kind of thing with me, I can help you unlock the treasure within your body and give you power. At that time, not only will you not be able to settle things with me, but you will also owe me even more favors. So, you shouldn't think that after doing that, you can run away from me." Ishihara Shodan said with a smile.

Orsola remained silent, completely at a loss for how to turn the tide.

……

The two then found a hotel in the city and stayed there...

Yes, only one room was booked.

Because the person who booked the room was Ishihara Sho.

Therefore, it's easy to imagine what would happen to Osora; there was no way he could escape from his clutches.

After that, Ishihara received the final feedback from the outside world, especially the Roman Catholic Church, regarding the Book of Law incident from Stiyl, Kanzaki Kaori, and Amakusa Shiki—

With the testimony of two important members and saints of the Church of England’s fighting force, namely Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori, it was a foregone conclusion that the Roman Catholic Church would use the Book of Law to eliminate unstable elements within its own church!
