Surviving as a Cult Leader in Another World (On Pause)

As for Alter Archibald, he was a perfect paladin.

Literary Arts and Culture.

Proper conduct.

He was a person who fought to the end without betraying or giving up until the Blood Crusade, which far exceeded 200,000 troops, invaded the royal capital.

So to speak, the hope of the people.

But I didn't believe it.

"Those who call for upright justice are ugly and distorted on the inside. Alter Archibald is like that!"

Alter Archibald.

The perfect man.

I couldn't believe that such a person existed except for me, Hyde.

Loras, Oscar, Selim, Nicolas, Michelan, Coramdeo, etc.

Just like humans who seemed perfect but later committed all kinds of evil deeds, there must be parts of Alter that are so ugly that they can't be explained, right?

Even I, Hyde, make mistakes 'sometimes'.

It is not surprising that Alter, who is less pious than I, Hyde, has an ugly appearance.

"Ruler! Alter Archibald! If you are innocent, prove it by letting me go right now! "If you attack or arrest me, you will become an adulterer targeting Psyche!"

What was effective when attacking a man like Alter was using a frame.

Incitement can be done in one sentence, but explanation sometimes takes a lifetime.

As it exploded, the surroundings shook.

"That is the "Double-edged dildo," The 72nd of Rust-sama's hellish punishments! No matter what choice you make, the only option is destruction! I, Michelan, the third baptist, can tell! I didn't know why the great Rust came to meet a worthless writer like Baltiel. Now I see that they were trying to use him as bait to attack the 7th Knight!"

I wondered who was making such a fuss, but it was Michelan.

Wasn't that guy in Firenzo Prison for arson?

When did you escape from prison?

Anyway!

"Ruler! Hurry up and attack me and prove your vile lewdness!"

A perfect man?

There is no one other than me, Hyde, who can have that title!

I'll prove to you here that you are a knight!

Sze-. Sereung-.

However, Alter, who was aiming his sword at me, put the sword back in the scabbard on his belt.

The meaning of that act was clear.

It means not to attack me.

And it was proof that Alter had no ill will toward Psyche.

"EeeeeICK!!!!! Don't lie! This hypocrite!!!!"

Of course I didn't believe it!

You must be lying!

Is there a man who has a pretty woman like Psyche by his side and doesn't harbor any ill will?

Unless you are a eunuch, it is impossible!!!

Soon Alter Archibald spoke to me.

"Rust, I admit you have a talent for leading a crowd. But why do you do this? What's the point in inciting people to destroy the world? "Why aren't you using your abilities for something better?"

It was a very correct question.

If there is such a thing as a right path, it would seem to refer to the path that Alter is walking on.

So I felt rather suspicious and disgusted.

I said, tentatively adjusting my paper mask.

"So, Alter, how long do you plan on wearing a mask of hypocrisy? It was I who killed your brother Oscar Archibald. I also raped Milione, who can be seen over there!"

"…"

"It was I, Rust, who demoted your father, Archbishop Archibald! What do you think, don't you hate me? "You probably want to pull out your sword and cut off my head right now!"

I flinch.

Alter Archibald's shoulders trembled.

Did I hit his weak point?

However, Alter did not draw his sword.

I attacked that guy even more.

"Are you saying you won't draw your sword to prove your nobility in front of the evil Madou? Alter, you foolish bastard. "Your mask of hypocrisy will one day strangle you!"

"…"

Alter remained silent.

Are you trying to avoid arguing with me?

Smart guy.

Nothing good would come of talking to Alter anymore.

Now my eyes turned to Psyche.

"Psyche! We all know that you treat your husband Hyde like a fool and are always thinking about cheating on him! "You lewd bitch!"

"W-what? "What kind of nonsense is that?"

Kuwoouk-.

Psyche holds the great sword in her hand even stronger.

I didn't give Psyche a chance to speak and just shot her out.

"To come together with Alter to capture this body, Rust, which is sex itself! If this is not adultery, what is it?"

"Don't talk nonsense! I don't fall for such deceptive tricks! "Hurry and release Professor Baltiel, who is being held captive!"

"You're talking nonsense through the hole! Good!"

Zek-.

I raised my index finger.

"Psyche, I will place a liar's curse on you. It's a curse that every time you tell a lie from now on, your nose will get itchy, and you'll have to sneeze!"

Parr-.

Psyche is trembling and nervous.

I added a word to Psyche.

"Ruler! Now I'll prove to you that you don't love your husband Hyde! Psyche, don't you think that your husband, Hyde, is a fool who talks about being the most pious when he has nothing to boast about? Hurry up and answer! If you don't answer within 3 seconds, Valtiel will turn into red ink!"

Zek-.

I brought the ax in my hand to Baltiel's neck.

Valtiel screams ugly, "Hiyi!"

Psyche, who soon saw the scene, said.

"I don't think so at all! My husband, Hyde, is a more faithful and godly person than anyone else! And I respect and love him deeply!"

It was a very proud shout.

The Blood Crusade that soon began to surround the surroundings also said, "You don't sneeze, right?" Or "Is it true…?" ." He exclaimed.

Of course I didn't believe it!

"Lie! It's a lie! Hyde That guy is a moron and an asshole! If you find out the ugly side behind the mask he hides, he might despise you and punish you himself! "He's trash just like me!"

"My husband, Hyde, is not as ugly as you! Even though he has some clumsiness, he is a person with a passion to always do his best! In that respect, he is stronger than anyone else! "He's not a coward like you, so if you go, he won't have to use the same thing!"

This time too, Psyche did not sneeze.

Did my Liar's Curse not work?

Are you forcing yourself to sneeze?

No.

I didn't see anything like that.

Psyche actually added the words herself.

"Now I understand. Rust. You are a pitiful person who does not believe in love and trust between people at all. "I was jealous of the relationship between me and my husband, which is made up of more love and trust than anyone else!"

"Shut up! Yes you bitch! What am I jealous of? There is no such thing as trust between you and your husband! There is even no such thing as love! Admit it! You are a liar! Hurry up and sneeze!"

"You can curse as much as you want. Since I decided to marry Hyde, I swear that I have never lied to the name of Elohim, whom my husband Hyde believes in!"

Psyche never lied to me?

So does this mean that all the expressions of support and affection that have been given to me so far were real?

I became confused.

I can't believe that such an innocent and innocent woman actually existed in this world.

I can't believe that Psyche trusted and respected me, Hyde, that much.

At the same time─.

I also felt like I was wondering what I was doing right now.

It was that moment.

"Lord Alter! It was Rust's lie that the Blood Crusade was surrounding Barakhan Theological Seminary! What are the soldiers doing! Hurry up and kill the monster Rust and save Professor Valtiel!"

Was my lie revealed when I said there was an ambush by the Blood Crusade?

The situation was not good.

"Khaha! Have a good time!"

I just ran away.

# ​ ​​​ ​ # # ​ #

When I returned, it was chaos in many ways.

In the crowd of people, I met Psyche.

"What's going on?"

"Hyde! You're safe! The Blood Crusade just ran rampant here! They kidnapped Professor Baltiel and tried to kill him!"

While saying that, Psyche looked around at me.

It seemed like he was checking to see if there were any injuries on my body.

I decided to calm Psyche down for now.

"I am fine. I just had to wait a bit because the line for the bathroom was long. That Rust guy showed up again while I was away. "If I had met him, he would have scolded me!"

Zek-.

I clenched my fists and trembled.

I was furious.

Milione snorted happily while looking at me like that.

"I'm saying that because I haven't seen that guy Rust show up at this seminary and sway his followers. To appear in the heart of the enemy. "Is that Rust guy really fearless?"

Milione's expression was slightly dark as she said that.

Was there something I didn't like?

It must have been a useless thought for a useless reason.

Zek-.

At that time, Alter Archibald, who had wrapped his cloak around Baltiel's shoulders, spoke.

"Hyde, I'm glad you're safe. Rust: The rampage that that man and his minions did was terrifying. Sinseat Rust. He really was a scary man. I'm glad it ended like this. "It was an atmosphere where it wasn't strange if someone died."

Wow.

Alter clenches his fists so loudly that his iron gloves scream.

"What a shameful situation this is, that even though I was there, they couldn't catch me. I don't have the courage to see people. I should have tried a little harder and chosen the best!"

I can't believe I'm blaming myself here.

This guy has extremely poor self-evaluation.

I decided to comfort Alter.

"From what I heard, it wasn't strange that there were deaths, but no one died. That alone is an amazing thing. Of course, if it were me, I would have dealt with Rust better."

You did well enough.

The opponent was bad.

"Hyde, I feel a little relieved to hear that from you. But the situation is serious. I never thought Rust would appear in Barakhan, where His Holiness the Pope is. "What are you aiming for?"

Target?

There's nothing in particular.

I just thought I should punish that Baltiel guy.

"Professor Baltiel."

Now I spoke to Baltiel, who was shaking like a frightened rabbit.

He said, "Save me… I was constantly muttering to myself, "My condition was miserable."

"Why is this happening?"

When I asked, Milione laughed.

"That Baltiel guy. I was sentenced to death by Rust. Now I'm like a living corpse. That's why you're so scared."

What an idiot.

It was very refreshing to remember that she pretended to understand the truth of the world, but when a crisis came, all she could do was scream like a five-year-old girl.

In fact, people around me clicked their tongues when they saw Baltiel.

"Did you see me pee?"

"I am completely disappointed. "He always pretended to be great and noble."

"In the end, it was just words."

Zek-.

Valtiel now made eye contact with me.

He hurriedly crawled towards me and grabbed my ankles.

"Lord Hyde! Priest Hyde! Please help me! Aren't you the only man who succeeded in chasing that Rust away! Please help me!"

"How can someone with no writing skills like me dare to help a man as great as Professor Baltiel? "Except for having a great wife, I don't have any talents."

"Well, don't say that! Please help me! I have been sentenced to death by that terrible Rust! I want to somehow break this curse! Please!"

The sight of tears and snot dripping down his face was very ugly.

However, humans tend to easily reveal their hidden emotions in the face of death.

"If I continue like this, the Blood Crusade will kill me! "You're going to kill me!"

A weak coward in the face of death.

That must be Valtiel's true face hidden behind the letters.

"All right. I can't do it. Rust is like a parasite that lives in sin. Valtiel, confess the sins you have committed, repent, return to the countryside, and read this book 10 times a day."

Zek-.

I handed over my masterpiece, "The Village of Back-Alley Nymphs," To Valtiel.

Baltiel is shaking.

I added to him.

"By reading pure books, you can purify your mind and body. Also, I would like you to ask the dean to prepare my university diploma. Master's and doctoral degrees as well."

I have now graduated from seminary and graduate school!

Soon Baltiel bowed his head.

"If it's an honorary degree, I'll do anything!"
