Emanate.

Strange beast elimination task completed.

Good job, Atar. You work quickly.

I'm sure the Emperor will be pleased.

If the Emperor wills it.

Episode 3 We know we are not worthy O great Lord Mitama You who rule over all the hills of Takaamahara All our—

We know we are not worthy

O great Lord Mitama

You who rule over all the hills of Takaamahara

All our—

Open the gate!

The knight Bertrand has returned.

I have important news for the parliament

regarding that dangerous isolation camp.

Hurry up.

Ow!

Wh-What are you doing?

Shut up! Who the hell do you think you are?

I told you, I'm Bert—

You're a cheap tart who shouldn't even dare speak his name!

Please believe me!

I really and truly am Bertrand!

First off, he is a man.

Believe me!

The people in the isolation camp forced me into this garb.

So you're from the isolation camp!

Go back! Go back!

W-Wait!

Hear me out...!

I am a knight of this proud empire...

Why did this happen to me?

If the empire abandons me, what should I even do?

Hey there, Ber-chan.

So you're still around here.

What, are you crying?

Where's all your moxy from this afternoon?

I'll annihilate this village!

Shut up.

Now that I get a closer look,

you've got quite a nice body.

You bastard!

Are you trying to disgrace me?!

I cannot draw my sword unless it's for the Emperor's justice.

You're...

Are you okay?

B-Because of you, I'm—

Unable to return to the imperial capital, right?

Without an order from your liege,

you never draw your sword.

Your loyalty is admirable.

Regardless, the empire has discarded you.

That's not true! I...

Admit it.

The empire threw you away.

Come with me.

I need your help.

I'll create a place for you to stay.

Knight Bertrand.

I'd never be taken in by those words.

But you did save me from this cretin, so I'll repay that favor.

Too easy.

A strange beast!

Damn it!

Not the fields again!

Just run!

Run away!

Run! To the shelter!

Don't do it, Ricky!

You don't stand a chance!

Man, run away!

Let us take care of this.

Let me bring out the ultimate weapon!

The godly blade, Kusanagi no Tsurugi!

This is the real thing, summoned from the Kanmon Straits!

Now, use this to defeat it!

Ricky!

Why?!

Idiot!

That useless piece of crap sword was submerged in the ocean!

What?! But according to the legends, it's super strong!

Yeah, according to legends!

I knew counting on you was a bad idea!

It's my fourth underling!

Stand back.

Emanate.

It's over.

Was that what you wanted?

You saved us!

In one hit!

Wow!

I can't believe it!

What a relief.

What the hell was that?

I saw something on the sword...

Oh! Yeah, just as expected!

That's our religion's holy knight!

Good job, underling!

Nice. I've acquired a decent pawn.

Listen to me!

Join our religion and I promise you, from this day forth,

our holy knight will protect all of your fields from the strange beasts!

Religion?

What is that?

A religion is where you worship me as god...

Well, just think of it as a group with loose ties.

We've got this mascot whom we call "god."

What is a mascot?

You know that little animal they keep at the eatery, right?

Oh, yeah, that little thing?

That's it.

If you become a member of our religion that loves Mitama as our mascot,

you will never have to fear strange beasts ever again!

Wow! I'm in!

Me, too!

Yes!

Now we're talking.

Wine, please!

Have you joined our religion?

The what?

Our religion! Starting today,

wine will only be available to members of our religion!

Please join if you'd like to drink.

Well, how can I say no when you ask so nicely?

Thank you so much!

Then, please write your name and contact information here.

I'll join, too!

Me, too!

I'll gather followers any way I can.

Yes! Just a moment!

This is a refrigerator called a zeer pot.

It's possible to preserve food by placing it inside this pot.

If you join our religion right now,

every one of you will get your own pot!

I haven't slept for three days now.

You need to make twenty additional zeer pots by tomorrow.

You'll work until you drop dead, trash.

Thank you so much, Mitama-sama!

I'll do it!

These are delicious.

What are they?

These are baked sweets called cookies.

Can I have some, too, please?

These are delicious!

If you could just write your name down here...

Me, too!

Even in your current state, this should be doable.

Yes, right there!

Please form a line!

I can't believe he's using my divine powers like a hot spring...

This is a welcome bonus for those who've become followers!

Followers

This is amazing, Yukito.

Our followers keep growing and growing.

Awesome!

Yes, it was a good idea to stop relying on your charisma.

Rude!

In this world, concepts like "god" and "religion" don't actually exist.

Making them understand those would be difficult.

But!

If you look at it from another angle,

it means "converting" them is easy because they have no aversion to religion,

unlike people from my time.

Therefore, we just need to make it a different form of religion.

A different form?

The followers are not bound together by devotion, but by personal gain.

Believe and we will heal you,

we'll share food with you,

and protect you from external enemies.

It's a standard move to amass more followers...

by supplying personal gains that are easy to understand!

Our religion has...

Bertrand's power,

as well as Al's and Sil's food.

By offering these as benefits,

the followers will start lining up.

Stop it!

My strategy is the same as the one religions in my old world use to attract believers.

All I did was apply my own knowledge to make it fit this world.

Looks like watching all that alternate world stuff came in handy.

I didn't watch anything like that.

I never tried to escape from reality.

All right!

My powers have gotten stronger too.

Even if their army comes, I'll smash them to bits!

So far, so good.

But who knows how many followers we'll really need to be able to fight the empire?

Bertrand?

Kill me.

Bertrand, there's something I wanted to ask.

Do you mind?

You want to know how many soldiers the imperial army has?

What's the point of even asking?

You're planning on moving against the Emperor?!

Oh, I have no intention of doing that.

I just want to protect this village.

Please.

Well, if that's the case...

You've really got the wrong idea.

It's not numbers that make the imperial army the imperial army.

Archons?

Yeah.

A small elite unit under the direct control of the Emperor.

Are they stronger than you?

I'm nothing compared to them.

They've been bestowed special powers directly from the Emperor.

Powers?

I've only heard rumors myself.

Supposedly,

every single one of them is strong enough to erase a mountain.

Extermination complete.

Moving on to dealing with the isolation village that defied the end of life system.

Mitama!

Can you erase a mountain?

A mountain?

A mountain of lame snacks, yeah.

I only go for the good stuff.

This is not the time to make crap jokes.

I want a serious answer.

Japan has a lot of mountain gods.

But my abilities easily surpass theirs by a lot!

So you can do it?

Easy peasy.

I just need a measly 10,000 followers.

Right now, we have around one hundred followers.

I bet you're impressed now, huh, Yukito?!

It's no good. She's useless.

Kabedon.

You've really come into your womanhood.

Wh-What do you mean?

Don't struggle.

D-D-Do you mean to defile me?!

I said I'm just taking a look.

So because I surrendered,

you can do whatever you want to my body?

Kill me!

Down, down, down.

Down, down, down.

There's nothing unusual about it. This is an ordinary sword.

Give it back!

What about the sword?

You defeated that strange beast that attacked the village.

That sword shouldn't be able to cut through something so big, though.

So is there some kind of trick?

Emanate.

Seriously?

There's no trick.

You just don't know how to use it.

There is nothing this sword could not cut through.

Sword? More like magic!

Magic?

Where do they sell those swords?

If we had a lot of these,

we could stand up against the imperial army!

These can't be bought, of course.

Anyone above a certain rank in the imperial army is granted a weapon by the Emperor,

imbued with special power.

Nobody but the Emperor understands the nature of this power, though.

Idol of the Eatery, Strange Beast Chilchil

Because you seem like the most intelligent people in our religion.

Sounds about right.

It really does.

Right now, our religion—

or rather, this village, is facing a grave danger.

The imperial army could strike at any moment.

But they're not coming at all.

They're probably just observing us for now.

But it is certain that their attack will come.

So, before that happens, hypothetically,

do you think we could relocate this entire village?

I doubt it.

If we made such a blatant move,

they'd crush us in an instant.

Yeah, huh...

If only we had over 10,000 followers...

Then we could fight back!

That's impossible.

There's about 2,000 people living in this village.

The empire places a limit on how many people can live in an isolation camp village.

Wait, wait.

You mean there are more isolation camp villages other than this one?

Yeah.

There are many isolation camp villages encircling the imperial capital.

Just like our village,

every one of them is a trash can for people they deem to be abnormal.

Well, essentially a human wall to protect the capital!

Don't drink in a meeting!

Can't stop me!

Huh?

I smell booze!

Wait!

Our meeting isn't done yet!

Gimme!

Wait, wait, wait!

This is not the time for booze!

You can take care of the rest, Yukito.

Que sera, sera!

We've got plenty to drink!

Keep it coming!

How long will these pointless assignments continue?

Annihilating that isolation camp village is the will of our Emperor

and the decision of the parliament.

Well, these huge strange beasts keep appearing.

Since they could cause harm to the capital,

we can't just ignore them.

Loki, are you trying to buy more time?

Are you planning on defying our Emperor and the parliament?

Why would you even say that?

Atar, I am a loyal servant of our Emperor.

Oh, I just got another report of a strange beast sighting.

Could you please go there?

Roger.

Well then.

I wonder what they'll do?

Over 10,000 followers? That's tough.

You're still awake?

Yeah.

You're completely wasted.

Why don't you tell your big sister what's on your mind?

My big what now?

I mean you're family,

so you're like my little brother.

So, Sil...

How much about this village's situation do you really understand?

Well, I know that it's pretty bad.

That's why you've been doing all that religion stuff, right?

I don't really get it,

but I guess it's to protect our village from the capital.

Did I get it?

I thought Mitama and I would be able to do something, but...

It seems hopeless.

Yukito,

not that little girl Amaterasu, but my...

You're trying your best.

Thank you for that.

Al and I would have died back then.

But you and Mitama-chan saved us.

Even if you can't save this village,

you've already done more than enough.

So you don't have to overthink it.

Don't overthink it, Yukito.

In the beginning, our sect had around one hundred followers.

Now we have tens of thousands of followers.

Do you know how we did this?

No clue.

Almost all our followers are pro-level martial artists.

So we blew up a scam cult with our physical strength

and took over their territory and followers wholesale.

You should just be a fight club instead of a religious group.

Don't overthink it.

If you want to get more followers,

just take them over along with the territory!

Miracles happen through use of force!

Soichiro

Miracles happen through use of force!

With the territory...

What?

Nothing.

I just remembered something dumb.

Thanks, Sil.

Yukito.

Hi, Clen.

Did you come up with a plan to deal with the imperial army?

I wouldn't say I have no plan at all.

But...

But?

What I'm trying to do will destroy the culture of this world.

That sounds fun.

Huh?

What's good about this village is that compared to the capital,

people here can live freely.

If there is something that you want to do of your own volition,

then you should feel free to do it.

Okay, then I'll try it.

I'm going to take this village 500 years into the future!

Huh? What do you mean?

One Month Later

Nothing today, either.

Why is the capital leaving this isolation camp village alone?

We're not.

Bertrand, we're counting on you to protect this village.

It's a new outfit!

If you fight wearing this, I bet you'll look really cute!

I'm sure you'll look amazing in it!

You're not... from the village.

How long have you been there?

I didn't sense her here.

Query initiating.

Affiliation confirmed.

Former captain of 6th regiment of the imperial knights.

Enlilter Liesheid Bertrand.

Your sex has been changed.

You know who I am?

How did an imperial knight turn into a woman and end up in the isolation camp village?

Currently,

I'm this religion's underling.

No, I am their bitch!

What is that ridiculous outfit?

You can say all the terrible things you want to me!

Actually, I beg you to do so!

I don't understand what you're saying.

I classify you as a rebel.

Emanate.

So you're an archon from the imperial capital.

I didn't expect that I'd draw my blade against the imperial capital.

Perhaps this is also fate.

Kill me.

I won't kill you.

I must find out why your sex changed.

I'm taking you back to the capital.

What... is that?

I've never seen strange beasts like those.

And humans are riding them?

What kind of isolation camp is that?
