Bringing Culture to a Different World Chapter 269

Chapter 269

Translator: Yang_Wenli

While in the carriage, the Prophet has been watching Joshua attentively. Joshua has been moving his fingers in midair since a while ago.

He seemed to be writing some sort of magic inscription. She was also able to sense a slight amount of magic fluctuations from the movements of Joshua’s fingers.

“Your Highness Joshua...”

The Prophet has been pondering about how Joshua was able to establish a demon wors.h.i.+pping religion the entire time.

If it was an underdeveloped city, then using briberies or missionaries and other enticements could be effective.

But, this place was Norland, the most culturally prosperous city in the humane world. The citizens of Norland were not that easily deceived.

Thus, after the Prophet pondered for a very long time, the only possible ways she could think of would be through malicious drugs or magics...

Either option was extremely cruel in her eyes. As such, she believed that the Third Prince does not want people to inquire about that taboo topic.

“May I know how you were able to manipulate those humans?”

In the end, curiosity overcame here and the Prophet asked the question. After asking her question, she started to quietly observe Joshua’s expression.

If Joshua’s expression was to turn exceedingly gloomy or unnatural, she will immediately drop the topic.

But, to her surprise, Joshua revealed a slightly confused expression.

“Manipulate?”

Joshua stopped typing his message. He looked to the pet.i.te ‘little girl’ who gave off an air of being very knowledgeable.

“Earlier, those humans were reacting like they were wors.h.i.+pping a G.o.d when they saw my attendant Zeru. That should not be the impression humans would have toward a Sin Demon. As such, I suspected that you’ve established some sort of demon-wors.h.i.+pping religion in Norland.”

The Prophet was afraid of Joshua as he’s a prince. As such, she used a dull tone to explain her opinion to him.

“Demon-wors.h.i.+pping religion... so that’s how you’re comprehending the behavior of Norland’s citizens toward demons?”

Joshua looked at the ‘little girl.’ With how serious of an expression she had on her face, he opened his mouth but didn’t quite know how to explain things.

At this moment, Ciri who was seated next to Joshua poked his arm with her elbow. Then, she whispered to Joshua’s ear, “It should be fine to address those fanatical movie fans as ‘believers,’ no?”

Joshua could smell the fragrant odor of Ciri’s hair. Mmmm... Ciri had Silver Matsutake Mushroom Soup for breakfast.

The Prophet captured the intimate behavior between Ciri and Joshua and revealed a slight frown... She knew that the Chaos Demon’s tradition stated that they intermarry with other races.

If Joshua’s elder sister, the Demon Realm’s Second Princess Cecily, was to find out about this, she will definitely use force to make Joshua distance himself from that ‘little wench.’

Although the Prophet was Cecily’s subordinate, she did not say anything to call Joshua’s attention. She was more concerned as to how Joshua was able to change this city’s humans’ impression of demons.

“Just then, I heard that human lady use the term ‘fanatical movie fans.’ Is that the t.i.tle of the believers?” asked the Prophet.

“...”

Even though ‘I’m very curious’ was not seen in the Prophet’s eyes, she had revealed from her words that she must ‘get to the bottom of it.’

Right at this moment, the horse carriage just so happened to reach the street where the Weissenasche Theater was. Joshua pulled back the window curtains and pointed to the ‘enormous poster’ outside the Weissenasche Theater.

“Prophet, do you see that ‘picture?’” asked Joshua.

“That painting of a human embracing a hound?”

The Prophet removed her wooden gla.s.ses to clearly see the poster outside the Weissenasche Theater in the distance.

Apart from that poster, there were a lot of people gathered outside the Weissenasche Theater. They seemed to be waiting for something.

“Is that the stronghold of the religion Your Highness established? Is it similar to a church?”

The Prophet felt like those humans looked like they were going to the Weissenasche Theater to make a pilgrimage.

If such a magnificent building was truly a so-called ‘church,’ the Prophet felt like she had truly underestimated the influence of the religion founded by Joshua.

This was not a small chapel that could only be hidden in the shadows of Norland. Instead, this imposing ‘church’ building was constructed in the most bustling street of Norland and thousands of believers were gathering there.

No matter how the Prophet looked at it, it was on par with the Nation of the Holy Church’s Holy Light Religion!

“To movie fans... a theater would indeed be considered a church. But, they do not go there for the sake of offering prayers.”

Joshua did not negate the Prophet’s interpretation. If one was to regard movies as a G.o.d, then the movie-lovers could indeed be regarded as believers.

“In that case, Your Highness, what is the purpose for the gathering of those humans then?” asked the Prophet.

“Movies... are a bit difficult to explain with words.”

Joshua tapped the wooden wall behind him to indicate for the carriage driver to pull over.

“Well, it just so happens that I can use this opportunity to let you all experience the charm of movies for yourselves.”

Joshua opened the carriage door. Right outside the carriage was the completely crowded Weissenasche Theater.

As the new movie Hachiko has just started screening, one will have to wait in line from day to night just to obtain tickets.

Because of that, Joshua had considered purchasing Norland’s National Theater to alleviate the pressure on the Weissenasche Theater.

“Experience? We’re getting off the carriage here? But, Your Highness, there’s all those humans there...”

“My a.s.sistant will lead you all inside through a special VIP entrance. There’s no need to wait in line for a long period of time. You all can take this as a time to relax before your a.s.signment as missionaries officially begins,” said Joshua.

Ciri was the first person to get out of the carriage. This mage lady was not against re-watching all the movies.

“Esteemed teacher.”

The Prophet’s apprentices were acting scared. More or less, they all had human-phobia still.

“This is a human city. You all need to get used to and accept their existence.”

In the end, the Prophet accepted Joshua’s proposal and walked out the carriage. Her four apprentices had no choice but to follow her.

“Ciri will be in charge of your safety and the arrangement of your living quarters. As I have an important task I need to take care of, I will not be able to accompany you all for the time being,” said Joshua.

“I’m in charge? Okay then....” In the end, Ciri accepted Joshua’s mission.

“Let us hope that this will be a pleasant experience.”

The Prophet was still on guard toward Joshua. She was weary of the dangers of this sudden ‘movie watch.’

But, she still brazenly accepted it...

She came to the human world to carry out the Demon Realm’s Second Princess Her Highness Cecily’s orders to establish a friendly relations.h.i.+p with humans and obtain knowledge the demons lacked from them.

If demons continue to hold an att.i.tude of fear and rejection toward humans, they will forever remain isolated and stagnant in the Demon Realm.
