Bringing Culture to a Different World

r, Joshua was much more dangerous than that Cave Giant!

But, Joshua ended up standing beside Messai in a very natural manner.
Then, he cleared his throat and pointed to the majestic female knight.

“This person here is a future Legion Commander of the Nation of the Holy Church’s Ecclesiastical Templars.
If you all dare to provoke her, I bet that you will be burned by the Holy Light till not even your bones remain.”

Joshua’s threat was extremely effective.
The human merchant had heard about the Ecclesiastical Templars’… vicious reputation.
On top of that, his strongest hired thug, the Cave Giant, was no match for that female knight at all.
He didn’t dare to even voice any threat, immediately ordered for the Cave Giant to carry the unconscious mage and fled from this place.

“Is this another conspiracy of yours?” Messai stared at Joshua with a look of alert.

“No, I am sincerely praising your Ecclesiastical Templars’ prowess and magnificence.”

Unfortunately, the naive lady knight failed to realize Joshua’s ridicule in his voice.
Stubbornly, she believed them to be actual praises.

Seeing that Messai was not planning to continue speaking with him, Joshua turned around to look at that Deceiver.

“It’s time for us to get inside to talk about proper business.”

……

“A thousand gold coins.
This is half of the advance payment.
Once the filming is complete, I will pay you the other half.”

Joshua was sitting before a shabby wooden desk.
He handed a big sack of gold coins to the manager of this small hotel, the Deceiver Pluk.

Perhaps that amount of gold coins were small change to the members of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe, it was an unimaginable amount of wealth to Pluk who owns only a small and shabby hotel in Norland.

The amount of advance payment Joshua gave him yesterday was already enough for him to not worry about money for a year or two.

“Mister, I don’t know what movie is.”

Even though there were so many gold coins placed before him, Pluk’s expression remained unchanged.
But, his eyes would, from time to time, turn behind Joshua.

If possible, he didn’t wish to have too much interaction with Joshua.
The main reason for that was because Joshua’s identity would attract the attention from the Nation of the Holy Church.

The situation he was worried about the most after agreeing to allow Joshua to lodge in his hotel happened in the next day.
An Ecclesiastical Templar appeared before his hotel.

That Ecclesiastical Templar was behind Joshua and chatting with the half-dragon and gray-cat beastman children he adopted.
While the cross-racial conversation seemed to be very cheerily, Deceiver Pluk was feeling extremely tense.

Not all the Ecclesiastical Templars were that friendly.

“To speak simply, a movie is people acting roles to deceive others.
Isn’t that the talent of your race? It’s no different from what you’re doing right now,” said Joshua.

The Deceivers were a race of demons as skilled in acting as the Succubui.
More than anything, this Deceiver gave off a very similar air to Léon in ‘Léon: The Demon.’ Joshua wanted to have him attempt to play the character Léon.

“I’ll be frank with you, Mister Faceless,” Joshua lowered his voice and declared Pluk’s race, “Perhaps you will be able to gain temporary safety under the protection of the Black Dove.
But, what I am going to do is to give you an opportunity to obtain what you will never be able to under the Black Dove… the opportunity to gain the basic status and dignity needed to live in this city.
I am giving you a chance where you will no longer be called abberation by humans while walking down the street!”
