I Defeated the Guide Angel and I Became a Necromancer ~ I Feel Like I'm Playing a Different Game from Everyone Else, but I'm Doing Fine ~ - Chapter 45

Chapter 45: The Overwhelmingly Crazy Girl Part 4

◆ Demon Temple ◆

“World Announcement: The [Holy Meltis Church] and the [Sanctuary of Meltis] have disappeared from the trading city of Lorelei.”

“World Announcement: In the trading city of Lorelei, the [Demon Temple] —correction from the demon god Babylon— [My♡Sweet♡Home♡] has appeared.”

“World Announcement: The trading city of Lorelei, as well as the Lorelei area, have fallen under the control of [Demon Queen Babylon] .”

“World Announcement: The trading city of Lorelei has become the [Demon Realm City of Lorelei] .”

“World Announcement: The Lorelei area has undergone [Demonification] .”

Ugh… Ughhh… My mind was blown away since Babylon’s descent… She was so incredibly cute… No, no, but this is turning into something serious… Babylon, who used to be a secret figure, has now boldly stepped onto the stage…? And demonification, what’s that…? From the moment the trigger was pulled, things have been progressing like a domino effect!!! I can’t keep up with what’s happening?!

“Mommy! Can we openly worship Lord Babylon from today onwards?”

“Yes, you don’t have to lie about being a Meltis follower anymore!”

“Wow…! Lord Babylon, the demon god, has descended… Ohhh… One really does live long…”

“You! Don’t just drop dead like that! We’re going to worship every day from now on!”

“At last, at last, we won’t be hidden believers anymore!!! Yes, yes, yesss!!!”

Ehhh…? Just when I thought NPCs from Lorelei were coming out of their houses one after another, now there are people starting to worship demons…? Could it be that most of the residents of this city weren’t Meltis followers after all?!

“Ah… So they knew the pirates and the church were colluding, yet they still accepted meals from them, huh? Some of those church folks were downright chubby, so it’s no wonder they noticed. Why aren’t the church people ever short on food? They probably begrudgingly accepted the meals while thinking how annoying it was, then went home and cried out, ‘I’m so frustrated, Queen of Demons~~!!’ Yeah, you can kind of guess just by looking at these ecstatic residents NPCs.

“A Guild Invitation has been received from the Guild Dreamscape Utopia.

“Oh… Can’t speak, I’m just stunned.”

“An invitation, huh…? Seems like it’s for us, should we go…?”

“There seems to be an invitation item in the mailbox.”

“Hey, if you were at the guild house, you got blown away like crazy. What did you do to end up like that?”

“Hah, it’s because my karma value was positive, so I got blown away.”

“Everyone except Baldy-san has negative karma value, so isn’t this invitation practically just for Baldy-san?”

“If you’re invited, you gotta go! Alright, Baldy, let’s go!!”

“Yeah. Let’s go! I saw the descent of the demon god from a distance, but it was quite a sight! I want to see it up close.”

Whoa! I’ve been zoning out way too much until everyone around me started moving! Despite being the one who built the Demon Temple, I was just standing at the entrance, blankly observing my surroundings! The nap-takers are going too, and Baldy-san seemed to have appeared out of nowhere! Let’s go, let’s go inside!

“Oh? Why is there a picture like this outside the main gate…”

“The picture of the goddess Meltis is drawn on the floor, huh~ haha~”

“It’s a stepping picture! Only those who step on Meltis can enter, huh!”

“I don’t particularly have any faith, so my karma value just ended up being positive. Look, I can go in!”

“Oh? Don’t you feel like you’ve passed through some kind of barrier~? Here~”

“Yeah, it feels like we’re being accepted here!”

“Maybe the residents NPCs can enter without an invitation, so the invitation might be necessary for further inside~?”

“Wowww!!! (It’s so spacious inside~!!! Oh! There’s a dog who looks just like me!)”

“Spli…? Two… Don’t tell me there are two Donta…”

“Eh? Ahhh!?”

As soon as we entered the Demon Temple, Donta dashed off. And what was there ahead of him? Yes. A huge dog that looked just like Donta… Oh, Donta was a wolf… But that one was more like a wolf than a dog!!! It had that kind of aura…

“Woof!! (Hello! Nice to meet you!)”

“Aoo~…? Woof woof woof woof!!! (Oh…? This is a fellow member of the same species, nice to meet you! Hello! I’m glad to meet you!)”

Oh, it seems like they’re getting along… That circling each other to check each other’s scent, they do that even among Wargs. But wait, could that one possibly be a girl? The voice I just heard sounded kind of girly, didn’t it?

“Oh, what’s this, another Donta?”

“Seems like a fellow member… of the same species~”

“Woouu~ woof woof!! Woouu? (I’m Donta! And you?)”

“Woof woof!! Woouuu!! (I’m the Demon Wolf King, Mothirine III. You’re Donta, right? Cute name! We’re friends from today!)”

“Woof woof!!! (Friends! Yay!)”

“Mothirine III…?!”

“Eh? That dog’s name? Could it be that…?!”

“Is Mothirine III your name?!”

“Uh, yeah… Demon Wolf King, Mothirine III…”

“Mothirine III…”

“Ah… ”

“That dog’s called Mothirine III… Well, yeah, it’s kind of cute with that ‘mochi’ vibe… If someone is controlling this magical wolf… it means there’s someone with a naming sense comparable to mine… Wait a minute? Could it be that this magical wolf… is owned by…”

“Woof! Woou woof? Woou~~! (My master, Queen Babylon, is calling for you, right? Go on then.)”

“Woof! (Got it, see you later!)”

Good news, Babylon-chan’s naming sense is not much different from mine!!!

“Wuf…♡ (That was cute! We’re friends now!)”

“That’s nice, making friends…”

“You became friends…”

“There are a lot of people who are obviously not human around here, huh…”

“Have you seen it?! That platform before the grand staircase! It’s not a golden statue of Babylon-sama?!”

“…Really?! The altar in front of that grand staircase seems to be where ordinary believers worship.”

“That’s the demon god…? It looks different from what I saw.”

“Baldy just saw from afar, so he didn’t get a good look. She’s a beauty. I’m going to marry her.”

“I-is that so…”

Inside the Demon Temple, facing the grand staircase, there’s a golden statue of Babylon-chan on the dance floor!! It seems like you can go up to the second floor from there, but there are two demons like minotaurs blocking the way in front of the grand staircase… They look incredibly strong, but can we pass through…?

“Halt. Ah, well, well, well…! Please, go ahead.”

“Queen Babylon is waiting. Please go up here and proceed to the third floor!”

“T-thank you very mu-sch…”

The minotaurs had such a cool old man voice! It was a bit different from what I imagined, but that’s cool in its own way…?!

“…There’s no way we can win.”

“Oh, I totally get it… I also thought there was no way we could win…”

“Did you target it? I did.”

“I couldn’t read the level indication…”

“It’s definitely strong… If we challenge it, we’ll die instantly, for sure.”

“It’s gorgeous but not sleazy, calm and serene… it’s a nice temple, isn’t it~… Look, there are many believers crying and offering words of gratitude.”

“They’ve increased a lot without us noticing…”

“We’ll be meeting the person herself, so I’m feeling nervous with the special treatment!”

“A-are we going to meet her directly…?! M-my heart’s not ready…”

“I’m about to cry just from the thought of meeting again.”

“((((；゜Д゜))))”

Phew… Let’s calm down, let’s calm down… I need to brace myself so I don’t pass out the moment I meet Babylon-chan… If I go up these stairs to the third floor, it’s Babylon-chan, if I go up these stairs, it’s Babylon-chan… Oh nooo, my heart, it’s racing!!! Stop, heart, don’t leave me!!!! Don’t stop, keep moving or I’ll die!!! Uwaaaahhhh!!!!

“Hum hum huuun♪ My♡Sweet♡Home♡ My♡Home♡ Let’s do it, let’s do it♡”

“–The group of Rinne-sama has arrived!!!”

“Ahhhh~ They’re hereee~ Come closer, please~!”

Ughhh… No, I can’t die yet, I just saw something incredibly precious but I can’t die… Ahhhh, a beautiful girl… An unparalleled beauty… She’s dazzling… A billion times more radiant than usual… I can’t… it’s too precious… My heart stopped… Don’t stop…

“Wow… She looks amazing indeed… She’s got a lot of eyes…”

“Huh? She’s a transcendent beauty, she only has two eyes.”

“No, really? Look, take a screenshot.”

“…Transcendent beauty… Baldy, is something wrong?”

“Huh? Baldy-san? What are you talking about? Babylon-chan’s eyes are just like those of a human, right? Who are you saying has a lot of eyes? Do you want to die here and now? Just because we’re guild members doesn’t mean I would show mercy!”

“Oh, you can’t see my true form, huh♡ What a shame♡”

“But man, I can feel an incredible power. Since she’s a god worshipped by the locals, I guess I should at least pay my respects… Thank you, thank you…”

“Oh♡ But if you do that, won’t your saint skill disappear♡ But hey, you’ll be able to see my true form~♡”

“…Huh? Your appearance changed?! Did you transform?!”

“It didn’t change. Baldy, you’re weird.”

“Ah~~… Maybe if your karma value is positive, you see an incredible figure, and if it’s negative, you see the true form…”

“Maybe, maybe not…”

“Oh, I feel… different from before too…!!”

“I see, I want to lower mine even more.”

“Woouuu… it’s scary… (I’m scared~~~…)”

Σ(´∀｀；)

Wow~~~~…? Ah, I see! Baldy-san is really innocent! Come to think of it, the member who fainted from shock before had a karma value of around minus 150, and the one who said it was cute had a karma value of minus 500 or less! So! Does that mean I can see Babylon-chan’s super cute true form the clearest?! Yayyyyy!!!! Huh…? Then maybe we look incredibly hideous for them…? Well, whatever! Those who try to interfere don’t matter!

“Now then? You all really did a great job♡ I thought it would be lucky if my church was built, but to pull off one more there! I couldn’t help but laugh!!”

“I’m happy too that Babylon-chan’s home was built!!!”

“Babylon-chan looks so happy… She’s bouncing around on her throne, so cute… Yeah… One more…? Could it be that when they said ‘the curse spreads even further,’ that was the one more? Come to think of it, there were times even in regular Animate Fetish when additional items could be added… It’s like we perfectly triggered a bonus that occasionally occurs at that moment, right!?

“And you know what? I prepared your guild house on the second floor here♡ I pretty much matched the interior, so feel free to use it as you like, okay?”

“Wow, it’s here…! I thought it was gone~”

“Thank you so much!!!!”

“Great job with the energetic reply♡ Oh, sorry! I melted the gold orca…! I turned it into my golden statue♡”

“Yes!!! It was absolutely beautiful!!! I’d love to take it home!!!”

“No, no~?! Because it benefits your guild~♡”

“Yes!!!! We won’t take it home!!!!”

“Rinne-san, seems like you’ll listen to everything Babylon-chan says…”

“I’ll listen. If she tells me to die, I’ll probably die. If she tells me to come back to life, I’ll come back.”

“Really…?”

Nfufu, nfufu… Lots of chatter, it’s the best, I wanna live here… I don’t want to go back to real life…!

“You crazy girl~. I’m important, but you have to take care of yourself too♡ Make sure to eat properly, live your daily life properly, and worship me healthily, okay?”

“Yes!!! I’ll log out properly every day, sleep well, and go to school!!! I’ll always live a healthy life with Babylon-chan in my heart!!!”

“Geez, you’re so energetic~…♡”

Yeah, let’s live every day with a healthy lifestyle and constantly worship Babylon-chan. The best, oh, uh-oh, my vision is starting to blur…!

“Oh! I’m gonna faint~! But before that, let’s do this~! Here’s your reward♡”

“Recognized as ‘Beloved Child of the Demon Queen Babylon'”

“The lower limit of your karma value has decreased to the minimum value”

“Karma value has decreased to -1000.”

I-it’s, too… much…? Ughhh…!!

◆ ◆ ◆

Since Rinne-san fainted from overwhelming happiness, I’ve compiled the information she received from Babylon-sama into notes for her to understand easily.

Most residents of Lorelei harbored resentment towards the Holy Church of Meltis, and in turn, they had acquired some power by worshiping the demon god.

Firstly, this explains why the residents of Lorelei could easily use magic and fight when given weapons. They received power from the demon god Babylon-sama, who instructed them to rise up when the time came. That time was when we exterminated the pirates of Lorelei. As a result, the residents’ faith in the demon god Babylon-sama became very strong.

In the Demon Temple, there are various undead, demon, and spirit-type NPCs, such as “Weapon Artisan, Six-Armed Ogre Arslan,” “Weaver Artisan, Calamity Weaver Arachne Olivier,” “Tactical Instructor, Warrior Rokudo,” “Martial Arts Instructor, Demon Wolf King Mocchiriinu III,” “Marksmanship Instructor, Automaton Princess Grimhilde,” “Sorceress Instructor, Disaster Witch and First Queen of Stellavercia, Echidna,” “Seeker of Truth, Alchemical Magus Alus,” “Seeker of Truth, Forbidden Technologist Magna,” “Undertaker Misha,” “Curse Craftsman Kasa,” “Soul Binder Liza,” “Demon Temple Head Chef Cook,” “Trainer Sadina-chan,” “Demon Gatekeeper Oru-kun & Toros-kun,” “Chief Demon Gatekeeper Cerberus-chan,” “Demon Temple Guards Minos” and “Taurus,” and various other undead, demon, and spirit-type NPCs.

Currently, Lorelei seems to have been demonized, and the residents of the demon realm who were protected by Babylon-chan in the so-called ‘otherworldly realm’ seem to have moved to Lorelei. At first, the residents of Lorelei were cautious, but overall, they seem to be friendly NPCs and have since deepened their friendship. By the way, the chief demon gatekeeper, Cerberus-chan, apparently likes fish… She eats them as if they were precious. I’d like to meet her sometime.

In the Demon Temple, you can request demon reincarnation, and by executing the demon reincarnation command and receiving guidance from various NPCs, you can change to a demon-type occupation.
This differs slightly from the method we used to punch angels and reincarnate, which was Babylon-sama’s recommendation. Instead of Babylon-sama’s recommendation, it seems you can switch to the recommended occupation of instructor NPCs by receiving their guidance.

Furthermore, it seems that if you receive training from various instructor NPCs, your level will increase significantly! You can even receive support up to a surprising level 40! There are already players who have undergone demon transformation on this side as well! Both our guild’s magic team and exploration team hurriedly came to the Demon Temple to inquire about the situation, and now we’re diligently receiving training in demon transformation!

So, to summarize briefly:

The Demon Temple rejects those who adhere to the Holy Meltis religion.

You can’t enter the Demon Temple if your karma value is positive.

Once designated as a heretic by the Holy Meltis religion, you can’t go back.

You can undergo demon transformation at the Demon Temple.

After transformation, if you express the desired occupation to the instructor, you can receive training in the underground arena.

You can level up to a maximum of level 40 (this is a significant point!).

Various weapon and armor shops are available (a wide selection!).

It’s easier for beginner players to catch up to intermediate players.

By making offerings, you may receive small gifts from the demon god Babylon, depending on the amount.

There are NPCs who can strengthen and change items when given.

You can borrow a “corpse storage” from the undertaker (a coffin, essentially! Only one per person!).

Bringing “base materials,” “corpses,” and “curses” to the curse craftsman allows them to make cursed equipment (the drawbacks are quite severe… and the success rate is low… so you’ll need to carefully consider the effects of the equipment).

It seems that Trainer Sadina-chan can turn you into a “Beast Tamer”!

Deceased followers can be revived by the reviver. It’s advisable to borrow a “corpse storage” from the undertaker beforehand.

Is this about all we’ve discovered for now? Also, our guild, “Dreamscape Utopia”, has been granted the large hall and small rooms on the second floor of the Demon Temple!

Additionally, instead of the “Gold Orca”, we now have the “Golden Statue of the Demon God Babylon,” which grants benefits such as “1.2x experience, permanent +10 to all stats, and the appearance of gold coin bags or cursed coin bags from silver or higher chests”!

“Kyuuun…”

“Woof!!”

It seems that Don-chan was thoroughly defeated by Mothirine III-chan… Mothirine III-chan is definitely superior, without a doubt. Don-chan is simply a superior version of it… The name “Demon Wolf King” is not just for show.

“Mmm… ♡”

“You seem happy, don’t you? ♡”

Rinne-san is resting her head on my lap on the bench. Well, it’s more like resting on my thigh…? Hmm! Well, I’m happy too, so it doesn’t matter! Also, when I briefly woke up, I was returned the “★Classic Princess Lolita Dress – Black.” I can’t wear it anymore… But you know what? I had this thought.

Isn’t this the one Acchan wore, the premium item with Acchan’s scent…?! If I fully inhale it, even when Acchan isn’t logged in, I can feel Acchan with my whole body!!!!?! Plus, only this came off! I still have three more avatars I can give away, so there’s no problem at all!!!! And also!?! I’m currently looking for an avatar that suits Acchan in the avatar warehouse!!!! A black veil or a headdress, should I go for thigh-high boots or Alice shoes, I’m debating! I’ve been debating like crazy!

“Oh? I’ve stumbled upon a happy space.”

“Oh, Napping-san?! No, it’s not what you think! Absolutely not that I was smelling Rinne-san’s scent or anything like that!”

“Huh…? I didn’t really see or hear anything…?”

“What?!”

I’ve dug myself into a grave…?!

“Hey, Rinne-chan said she prefers me as the guild master, but is that really okay?”

“Is it not? Ah… Rinne-san seems tired of such matters. She definitely doesn’t like them.”

“I see…”

“I, too, feel comfortable here because Napping-san is the guild master, and I can enjoy playing in a relaxed atmosphere. Napping-san is great!”

“Nggh!! Thank you! I’m glad, so then I’ll… continue as guild master! I’ll become even stronger so I won’t lose, hehe.”

“I-I’ll be prepared!”

While the form has changed, Dreamscape Utopia continues its existence unchanged. We still want to charge forward at the forefront as a crazy group led by Napping-san!

“Waauuuuuu~”

“Oh, Don-chan…? What’s wrong?”

“Woof, woof…”

“Are you hungry? Baldy-san, Baldy-san!”

“Yeah! I’ll treat you to my super cooking, now that I’ve transformed from saint to demon!”

“…It’s kinda shiny black and kinda gross, isn’t it?! The squid whiteness is so noticeable, isn’t it?!”

“Isn’t it cute?” Strikes a sexy pose

“That’s definitely Baldy-san’s doing, right?! Look, Don-chan, it seems Baldy-san made dinner for you!”

“Woof woof!!!”

Baldy-san has turned from a saint to a demon… That shiny black, glossy, sunburnt-looking bald head is crazy… Just looking at it makes me want to laugh… And when did he put on sunglasses…?! It’s annoying how good they look on him…!

“Nu…? I want… warships!!! Nn… sigh…”

“That’s sleep talk…?!”

How many warships does she want to eat…?! What should we do, should we go back to reality and order sushi delivery to Acchan’s house…? Of course, with extra warships.
