448 – Ancient Beddhism
Ancient Beddhism
Beddism Cathedral .
The two escorts knight then took us inside the Beddishm Cathedral .
This is indeed a magnificent stone cathedral .
The air it wears is old-fashioned, and it does look like a building with plenty of history in it . There was no glass in the windows, and the wooden doors were styled as a double door .
“…May I ask, what kind of history does it have?”
“Certainly, It was said that this cathedral originally existed 800 years ago before the Daido country existed . ”
“So, the building originally had nothing to do with Beddhism?”
I see, then it’s not strange to call this a historical relic .
As I was assuming that the knight shook her head .
“That’s wrong; this is an Ancient Beddhism Cathedral . ”
“Ancient Beddhism?”
Ancient Beddhism religion . It was a religion that dedicated itself to the God of creation who created this world .
Its history goes back to the time of this world creation before the concept of religion was even born in this world .
Every human being, and every creature, worshipped and prayed according to Beddhism teaching, which fundamentally believes in peace and tranquility . The ancient Beddhism religion was a religion that was followed by all life forms .
— therefore, ancient Beddhism was nothing special . It became life itself and was forgotten in the melting pot of culture .
Beddhism, which has been revived in this generation, stands as a ‘sub-religion,’ but it is actually the opposite . Beddhism is the foundation of everything . And all gods people believed in today are sub-religions .
“…So, you’re saying that the Beddhism is a religion that Gods uses to worship the God of Creation?”
“No, sir . That’s what the ancient Beddhism religion was, but since the Creator God has already fallen asleep… the Beddhism of this generation has become a religion for people, not for Gods . ”
So it’s an extension of ancient Beddhism but at the same time fundamentally different from ancient Beddhism – do I get it right?
“So why you say that the current Beddhism is [revived]?”
“As I said before, this cathedral existed before the country . No one in this country had any idea when or why it was here, but one day a sister told us about its history also about the original ancient Beddhism religion . ”
Ah yes, yeah, Leona, of course, it is from Leona .
She continued happily to told me the story about why the statue had a missing arm and about the scratches on the pillar that no one cared about .
This is the stone statue that was thrown and broken by the Son of the Creator God during the Bunk Bed War about 600 years ago . It’s a bunk bed, not a single bed . In other words, a battle to decide which God would be using the top of the bunk bed… are you a child!
Of course, the source of information is the Sister of origins (Leona) . Apparently, she said she used her appraisal skills to find out the history behind this stone .
“I’m curious, when did this sister spread Beddhism to this country?”
“No one knows for sure . Some say it was ten years ago, others say it was a year ago . It can’t be a year ago, that’s for sure, this religion was already around when I was a kid . ”
“I see……… . . ”
At a glance, this young knight probably around twenty years old .
Rokuko came to me and pulled my arm, she then whispers secretly .
“This is funny, isn’t it? I wonder what’s going on in this country . ”

“… . My best guess is that they are under memory manipulation effects . ”
Let’s say there was a “town built a few days ago” where every human being live there was imbued with the “memory of a long time staying there”, and there were “buildings which perfectly fabricated as evidence to support it” .
Would that make it into a “Historical Town”?
… . “unreal history of a Historical Town”, is that correct? I can only say that Leona can do that in real life, just like in manga or novels . {fuk kill me}
“Just what on earth does Leona want?”
“Maybe she is doing some kind of grand experiment . I really have no idea . ”
I just don’t know .
Then the mass began .
A room with long tables and couches like a regular church . We’re in a good spot in the middle of the room, out of sight .
A Beddhism priest tells the story of the Beddhism religion in the podium in front of us .
“There was once an ancient Beddhism in this land… . ”
The priest told mass the same story as I just heard before .
It seems that the knights also grew up listening to this sermon – is that the “setting” Leona prepared?
In the end, he says, “Now is the time for Godless Beddhism to spread in the world of men . Let us obtain peace by human hands, a peace of mind that does not depend on fickleness of Gods . ” the priest concluded the mass; apparently, this is the end of the mass .
…this is not like the Beddhism Mass I know . Well, the gathering is to fall asleep on the couch, so it’s not entirely different .
“How do you like it, my Hero friend? Would you like to join the Beddhism religion?

“Oh, wait for a second, I will show you something interesting . ”
Since this male knight offers me to join, I will show him something amusing . I took out a bracelet hanging from my neck . It’s a bracelet with a 5-millimeter hole at its sides, which had string so it can be used as a pendant .
I shake it lightly to make it easier to understand .
“Isn’t that Hero bracelet?”
“You don’t you get it? It’s a Beddhism holy symbol . I didn’t say it because I don’t know it exists here, but it really similar to the Beddhism religion from where I came from… Maybe there’s a connection between us . ”
“I see! I didn’t know that the Beddhism had spread to the world of the heroes!”
As I say this, the knight takes out a Beddhism symbol made out of greenish-white stone . Is it jade? It’s pretty .
Kachin, I greeted him by bumping the symbol against each other . This greeting seems to have been passed down in the Beddhism religion over here as well .
Rokuko and the female knight were also exchanging greetings with the holy symbol (Rokuko’s bracelet also worn around her neck, just like the holy symbol) .
Night has fallen upon us, Rokuko and I are going to have a visit with Toy Tindalos .
Dinner? I had to decline the offer because I was too full from overeating . I complimented them on their wonderful food culture, and they were all smiles .
He told me that he wanted me to be hungry tomorrow night because he wanted me to have a taste at the food court . I’d have to make some sort of plans for tomorrow .
A soldier led me to the office of Magic Institute Director . The soldier who led me in was one step ahead of me as a messenger . Rokuko and I waited right by the door .
“Are you really in this room, Toy Tindalos . ”
“According to the Soldier’s story, he is an old man . ”

If it’s the Toy I know, the rumor says that he is Leona’s grandson… . . no, that would suggest that’s his age is about 500 years old (even though she said she’s eternally 17), so I don’t think it’s funny to joke about this .
Could it be a different person with the same name? Since its Leona, she would definitely come up with bait like that .
And then the soldier returned . He said we could go in now, and the soldier left as if to say that he had done his job .
We were finally inside and about to have a meeting with Toy Tindalos .
When I knocked on the door, an old man’s hoarse voice replied, “Come in,” and I opened the door .
“Excuse me—”
“Master!”
And right after I opened the door, a little kid in a maid’s outfit jumped at me .
“Eh, what?”
“Master, master, master, master! I’ve missed you, Master!”
The dog-eared brown girl called me master and rubs her head against me like a dog . Wait–
Why is Niku here?
“Fofofofofo, I’m glad . ”
“Thank you, Master Tindalos, thank you for making it possible for me to meet my master!”
–Rokuko’s voice stutters . An invisible old man in a robe appeared and sat on the couch, looking and laughing at the three of us .
