My name is Gadentz Gilfersonn. I am the pope of the Ilmann Religion, the largest religion in this country. Up until now, the king had established Ilmann Religion as the state religion, bringing us many benefits. However, for some reason, when the old king passed away and we got a new young king, he foolishly decided to change the state religion. Unbelievably, some obscure religion called the Eld Religion has been gaining momentum on the streets.
「Hmm… how preposterous…」
I was unhappy with this situation. If it continued, the privileges and influence that the Ilmann Religion had built up would be stripped away. So I devised a plan. I decided to use forbidden curses to spread a plague.
「Heh heh heh…this will be the end for that ridiculous Eld Religion…」
By spreading the plague, I could blame it all on the Eld Religion. I scattered the seeds of the disease in the canals around Eld churches. Then I made flyers claiming that the plague was spreading wherever the Eld Religion took hold, and had them posted everywhere. That should make the ignorant masses believe it’s the Eld Religion’s fault. As the reputation of the Eld Religion falls, the king will naturally lose interest in it too.

【Eld’s POV】
「What’s this idiotic flyer…」
I peeled a flyer off the wall of my mansion and sighed. It claimed that nothing good comes from associating with the Eld Religion and other nonsense. Honestly, this is going too far with no evidence.
But wait… there are probably people who would believe this. The flyer blamed the Eld Religion for the spread of a plague, which is obviously rubbish. However, there has been an outbreak of disease lately. At this rate, people might really start blaming the Eld Religion, even though it’s not our fault.
If the Eld Religion gets blamed, word could reach the king too. Our reputation would fall, and I might even get condemned by Alto… That’s not an impossible scenario. No way am I letting that future happen. I have to find a way to resolve this plague outbreak and improve the Eld Religion’s reputation…
I’m not a doctor, but I’ve decided to offer free diagnoses for a few hours a day. I’ll use healing magic to heal plague victims at the Eld Religion’s church daily.
By treating the disease at the church, I can counteract the negative rumors connecting the Eld Religion to the plague.
Thanks to this plan, word has spread that converting to the Eld Religion will get you healed of the plague. Good, good…
