I Became a Beautiful Girl, but I’m still an MMO Junkie - Chapter 89.2

CONTINUATION

‘No, but… Shizuku-chan has been saying that they existed in reality for a while. Maybe it’s just like how I and Kouya didn’t know that the faction they belonged to actually existed?’

“What if we go to the Church of the Rainbow Goddess together?”

“Well, I…”

“Excuse me, is there something abnormal happening with Taru-sama?” Yuji interjected.

“No, it’s just that it’s a problem when a religious group in a game is claiming to exist in reality.”

“The Church of the Rainbow Goddess is an existing religion, is it not? Colonel, it seems you are lacking in historical knowledge.”

“What? Is there really such a religion? Was it even that well-known of a faction in history?”

“Isn’t it common knowledge that even elementary school student knows? What are you both saying, as the right-hand men of Taru-sama?”

“I didn’t know about such a religious group.”

“Could it be that they sponsored the development of Clan/Clan? But faith-based organizations are non-profit, so it’s unlikely for them to invest in game companies. Maybe they were allowed to be included in the world of Clan/Clan for publicity while keeping it private?”

“While there are many tie-ups and collaborations between online games and companies… a partnership with a certain religious group can easily lead to impression manipulation in the sense of freedom of thought. Isn’t it risky?”

“But maybe they want to increase their followers through Clan/Clan?”

“Looks like we’ve entered an era where religion is involved in games.”

“Hmm… but something feels off, so maybe I’ll look into it myself.”

“I feel the same. It’s a shock to suddenly have a church of such a faction at our high school.”

As everyone spoke, I finished eating my ice cream and silently placed the cup and spoon on the table, pondering their words.

“Taru, look at this,” my sister suddenly said, sitting next to me, and showing me her laptop screen. “I searched on the internet and found that there are ‘Churches of the Rainbow Goddess’ in various parts of Japan. They have a proselytization rate like that of Christianity.”

“Wait… wasn’t it a minor religion?”

“Moreover, Taru probably knows this, but I had already been researching Christianity and other denominations in advance because Tom and Jerry seemed strange… but the sites where Protestant and Catholic churches were built have been completely excavated. And the Rainbow Goddess church has been built on the land.”

“Do you understand what I’m trying to say?” My sister’s eyes spoke to me.

“I was curious and immediately searched through your history textbook.”

Before I knew it, my sister had my history textbook in her hand and was flipping through the pages. As I stared at each page, I noticed something strange.

There was no mention of Christianity whatsoever.

Crusaders, popes, and the likes were all gone… ‘God’s soldier?’ What is that? Moreover, major religious wars were all replaced by the Rainbow Goddess faith-related events.

“This is… impossible. Is it some kind of mistake? All the world history we’ve been learning at school until now?” I couldn’t help but voice my doubts.

“That’s strange,” my sister solemnly nodded, and I wholeheartedly agreed.

“This is… yeah, strange. But someone would notice this immediately, right? Why isn’t anyone saying anything? Why isn’t it causing a commotion?”

“This is normal. Tom and Jerry said that Rainbow Goddess faith has always existed,” my sister replied.

Everyone around us seemed to be unaware of this issue. Shizuku, who we met while shopping for clothes, and Yuji seemed the same way.

My understanding of the Rainbow Goddess faith was that it was a new religion or a little-known one. However, now that such a decisive change and evidence have been presented, I can’t help but wonder if my sister and I have become mentally ill, as my sister was worried about.

‘Why doesn’t anyone notice this strange occurrence?’

‘Wait a minute. Kouya and Yuuki also said that it was ridiculous for a Rainbow Goddess church to be built in our school. In that case, the two of them should also feel strange about it.’

So far, Tom and Jerry, Yuji, and Shizuku knew about the Rainbow Goddess faith and did not find it strange.

But Yurachi, my sister, Kouya, Yuuki, and I were unaware of its existence even in reality.

“Is someone taking away our… no, humanity’s faith God?”

‘That’s ridiculous…’

As I watched my sister ponder with a serious expression, I wracked my brain.

“No, have they just remodeled it?”

I thought as I listened to my sister’

s murmurs.

I realized that what kind of religious sister was I suppose to be?
