Damn, I recarneted As A Judge in Fantasy World

Chapter 120: The Guardian Deity [2]

The reason Delia caused a stir was simple. This was because the annual rituals had been stopped at some point.

"If it was so important, why didn't you do it?"

"Well…"

Kuro Allegan trailed off at the question that was asked without thinking. At that moment, I realized one thing.

'Ah, it's because of the empire.'

It seemed that the country was devastated by the defeat and the ancestral rites were discontinued. The country had no money to offer sacrifices.

"So you're going to flood half the city?"

?After listening to your story, it seems like you've been holding back for quite some time.

It was about ten years ago that Deliat was absorbed into the empire. If no sacrifices were made since then, it was quite a long period of time. But is it right to say that patience is good?

"But if you're angry, you have to figure it out on your own. What if you take your anger out on kind people?"

-Ask yourself. Why are you doing this to me?

"Whether you are half-god or half-demon, you are all the same…"

-What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Whoa! Squirrel Thunder!

The shoelace that popped out of my front pocket drop-kicked me in the face.

But even so, it didn't hurt at all since it was only about 100 grams. I roughly waved my hand to blast it away and then walked over to Delia. Now it was time to settle the matter.

'I can't go through this chaos every rainy season, right?'

It'll probably be okay for a while because I was holding onto this rotten half-demigod. But what if I leave for the Empire?

'There will be no one to control it.'

If so, there is only one way. There was no way to change his mind except through negotiation.

"Delia."

-Hmph.

"No, let's talk. We can't keep being uncomfortable like this, right?"

-I can't vent my anger with just my mouth shut.

"Of course. A sacrifice? I can do it as much as you want. I just want you to understand that the country has been devastated by the war."

- That's an interesting story. But it won't fill the gap left by that.

"I'll give you ten years' worth at once. How about that?"

-Hmm.

Delia looked sullen, but I was sure of it.

'This guy came over here.'

His mind was already completely made up, but he didn't seem to want to accept it right away. Maybe he's doing it for the sake of appearance.

Since he is a legendary figure here, it was necessary to adjust him appropriately.

"Let's take this opportunity to make the story a little more solid."

-What does that mean?

"You didn't cause this mess, but some evil being did."

-Oh?

"The guardian deity was resurrected and stopped the flood. I think we can conclude it like this."

?…!

Delia's expression suddenly darkened. It seemed like his heart was greatly moved. I smiled broadly and held out my right hand.

"Deal?"

-Okay. I accept.

"Yes!"

-But who takes charge of the existence of evil?

"Oh, that one? There's a guy who's just right for that."

I took the Shuguri out of my front pocket. Immediately, a strong reaction erupted.

-Can't you let this go? How dare you touch the noble demon's body!

"Oh, so you're not upset because the role is bad?"

- I Am originally evil

I didn't know it could be this simple. I guess I overestimated these guys.

'There really is nothing normal in this world.'

***

Delia never appeared in court. Instead, rumors about him swept through Deliat.

"The Guardian Angel has finally returned!"

"They said he dealt with the demon that caused the river to flood together with His Excellency the Governor!"

"Aha! So that's he was able to run on water?"

"As expected, everything will be solved if he steps forward. Look. The guardian angel has returned."

"Khuuuuuu! Your Excellency the Governor! Take me."

There seemed to be some strange noise mixed in, but anyway, the response was very good. Delia also seemed very satisfied, as she went to the river every day to eavesdrop on people's conversations.

Oddly enough, that guy's form becomes almost invisible when he goes into the water. So, even when approaching through the rapids, I had to rely solely on Shugle's sensing abilities.

In any case, the urban flooding incident ended on a very positive note.

'This is the best ending.'

At least the citizens who suffered flood damage were not terribly unhappy.

It seems that the belief that the guardian deity would protect the city served as a strong support. Still, the recovery effort was not easy. It was because Delia had turned the city into a mess.

"No, is that actually a good thing"

-Why?

"It was a building that had to be torn down at some point anyway."

Most of the citizens of Deliat are extremely poor. The places they lived were shabby houses or squatter tents on the side of the road. Although the economy has improved somewhat these days, that doesn't mean everyone can live in a nice house.

'Let's get rid of it all and build public housing.'

Like the staff quarters of the Carriers Duchy.

First, I should rent it out cheaply for a long term and have them pay it back slowly.

Aren't Im just giving it away too much?

The empire had a great influence on Deliat's development. The previous king may have been arrogant, but the sabotage was too severe. Of course, this side also had something to say. What can I do if that guy closes his eyes and holds out until the end?

The Imperial Army must also resort to extreme measures.

'In any case, it is a business that needs government support.'

I immediately called Kuro Allegan and relayed the instructions I had just thought of.

I thought they were making too much of me since I wasn't even an employee of the Governor-General's Office, but I thought it would be okay. Surprisingly, this person…

"This is a wise decision. I will implement it immediately!"
