A Very Beddhism Baptism

As a result of loaning the godly beddings, Maidence said that she wanted to take a look at the church.

It still doesnt have a caretaker yet though ah, maybe I could get people to do it so I wont have to spend DP?

As I thought about that, I guided Maidence to the church.

Meat and Ichika came along too. So did Maidences escort maid.

So this is Beddhisms church Its considerably different than a chuch for the White Goddess Faith.

Its embarrassing for you to see it without any furnishings due to it being so new, but oh, how about it? Want a holy symbol?

No, I will not convert from the White Goddess Faith.

What, you can believe in Beddhism as a subreligion. No onell even force you to apply the doctine either.

S-subreligion? Whats that?

Ah, I shouldve explained starting at that, huh.

I then explained it to her, cherry-picking the best parts.

By the way, its not like you have to have a holy symbol to be a believer. As an advantage of being a subreligion, it doesnt matter even if you use another religions holy symbol to pray, all that matters is that you love resting.

I see. So in other words, one could believe in Beddhism while still holding faith in White Goddess-sama.

Well, its not impossible. I would recommend Beddhism to anyone who sleeps, but it wouldnt force anyone away from other religions.

Oh, how nice. The holy kingdoms Light Gods Decree is so overbearing that its frightening by the way, does Kuro-sama follow Beddhism as well?

Yes, the same as Goshujin-sama.

Looks like Meats joined Beddhism too. Rather, Id feel bad if she didnt join.

What about Ichika? She believes in Food God Ishidaka though.

Ill join too, then. Its important to have the same beliefs as your fiance.

Ooh, thank you very much.

Follower GET!

Well then, please baptize me oh, will there be a priest coming?

Oh, it may be forward of me, I am responsible for that.

Kehma-sama, you have priest qualifications as well?

Just for Beddhism.

So priests need something like that?

Well, I am the rule for Beddhism. If I say its OK, so does Beddhism.

In other words, theres no problem in me saying Im a priest of Beddhism. If you think Im lying, go ahead and contact Beddhism. Contact me.

Mea Kuro hasnt had a baptism yet either huh, lets take the chance to do it. Please repeat after me I am Beddhism.

I am Beddhism.

I am Beddhism.

Im Beddhism too~

Ichika snuck hers in.

Alright, now youre Beddhists. Get some sleep, good night.

Eh? Th-Thats all?

Maidence was confused.

Yeah? Is anything else needed?

Are other religions different?

Well, yes, like being doused with holy water and reciting verses then doing a ceremony where you wash your limbs.

Hmm.

I was thinking that people would like it more if entering the faith was simple, but maybe theyd prefer more of a ceremonial performance?

In that case, maybe I should do something based on the Beddhist Scriptures

Lets pray, then. I will use my Sleepsword Siesta.

Is it a holy object?

I pulled out my beloved sword, Siesta. Although Maidences Maid-san suddenly took a battle stance and pulled out a dagger, I continued without paying any mind.

This is a holy sword capable of bestowing sleep. It has the effect of bringing sleep to its surroundings upon being given magical power. Ah, if falling asleep would cause you stress, Maid-san, I recommend moving a little further away Yeah, thats far enough.

I see. So you must endure the sleepiness and pray?

No, you dont need to endure it. Just sleep. That is Beddhism.

Itd be dangerous to fall asleep standing up, so I had the three of them sit down first.

Alright then, lets recite the Beddhist Scriptures Please close your eyes and repeat after me Waan Sheeepe. 1

Waan Sheeepe.

Tooo Sheeepe.

Tooo Sheeepe.

The three of them repeated the way I counted sheep with an extraordinarily bad pronunciation perfectly.

Are they actually hearing it as Japanese sounds? No way, did I just discover a hole in Translation Function-san?

Excuse me, Kehma-sama? What does this scripture mean?

This is a charm to bring about sleep. [Sheeepe] means [Thing that brings sleep], its appearing is generally akin to a sheep. [One] and [Two] are for counting how many there are Normally, one would continue counting until they fall asleep, but for now, we will just count until ten to finish it.

I see so then, three Sheeepe, four Sheeepe2

After this, Ill have to write 99% of the scriptures concerning Sheeepe, huh.

By the way, since I created the scriptures with [Create Golem], I can change the order of pages or insert pages later as needed.

Right now, its like a notebook thats about as thick as a pillow. Some might call it bluffing or something, but its important to be big enough to be used as a pillow if needed. Such is the way of Beddhism! Thickness bringing easier sleep is important!

Whoops, I should use Siesta here soon. Id used it to fall asleep yesterday too, so it was out of magical power. I put some into Siesta fuuuah, Im tired. Its working.

K-Kehma-sama. Im starting to feel tired!

Me too Fuaaah, aah. tired

Five Sheeepe six Sheeepe

Kuaah

Meat and Maidence continued counting Sheeepe.

Ichika was sleeping. She was using her arms on the desk as a pillow.

Umu, thats great. Good Night.

Kehma-sama, what does Good Night mean?

Huh? So thats excluded from Translation Function-san now too? It really is spell-like, I guess.

Good Night is something you use before you sleep, its like a prayer. It means to have a good nights sleep.

I see

Its important that the meaning is that, you can use it when youd go to bed normally and use it as a quick prayer.

Hmm, so its easy to pray in normal, everyday life, huh? Good Night.

Good Night ffff

Ah, Meats sleeping now too.

I want to sleep too as the priest, I have to stay awake right now, so lets get Maidence to fall asleep so I can as well. Lets quickly turn [Blackout Resistance] ON Now I shouldnt be able to fall asleep.

Rather, not being able to fall asleep even when youre feeling drowsy is a living hell yaknow!? Seriously, [Blackout Resistance] is a horrid skill.

Nine Sheeepe n, nn sss

Good Night.

Maidence fell asleep too. She couldnt even make it to ten with Siesta here, huh Ima go to sleep now, too.

I took a good seat, turned OFF [Blackout Resistance], and entrusted my body to this overwhelming drowsiness.

The Beddhism Church was filled with warm sunlight. I really did make a comfortable place to sleep in.

Alright, night Fuaaah.
