"But I still have to settle old problems before I come back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Miss Jue said again.

"Old question?"

She pointed in the direction of the boiler, "Akong has a problem again, but fortunately, the maintenance process is almost complete, and I am controlling her from disrupting the energy system again." ”

"Something went wrong again?" I looked over in amazement, and sure enough, I saw the pet crow slightly panicked and was instructed by the owner to control the boiler operation, "So, the source of her inability to concentrate is nearby?" ”

"Yes, I've figured out the crux of the matter, and that crux is you, Miss Alice."

"Huh?"

"The eight birds were ...... interfered with the operation, and Akura and Yatachi almost fused into one, so they seemed absent-minded. ”

"Wait, what the hell is Yachiko?" I finally asked the question, "Isn't it Akong who controls the operation of the boiler?" ”

"What is Yagaku? I thought this was a very understandable concept for people on earth," Miss Jue's tone was a little surprised, "In the hundreds of years that I have existed in the world, I have rarely interacted with gods, and my understanding of gods may not be as good as that of ordinary believers. ”

"That's not right, believers don't have a research attitude towards gods, so the gods that believers understand and the gods that atheists understand are completely different things."

"So, Miss Alice understands what a god is better than I do."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I just wanted to show my superficial understanding of the gods, please continue."

"I'm sorry, but it's a great thing to share your ideas with others."

"Such good deeds can easily turn into sin, just as the original gospel preached by God has turned into an inextricable sin for an entire nation in the long course of history, and the act of the Son of God re-giving redemption to the nation has become a shadow for almost half the world after thousands of years."

"Oh?" Although Miss Jue still focused most of her attention on the pet crow, her attention turned slightly to my side, "Many anthropologists who have seen the suffering of all beings are fond of attributing evil to the gods themselves, just like the human stories of Greek playwrights who thoroughly personify the gods, and the spirit conveyed by these stories is not that of human beings rebelling against the gods to show their indomitability to fate. ”

"That's?"

"Sin comes from divinity, and humanity shines in ignorance," said Miss Jue, "and the tiny humanity is surrounded by boundless sin." ”

"Although the original gods drove their followers to conquer with selfish motives, when the gods understood their duties, the gods became true gods." If it weren't for Miss Kanako, I probably wouldn't have such thoughts, "While it makes sense to attribute sins to the gods, I don't think humans are innocent, otherwise why would the underworld exist. ”

The underworld makes people self-examining, and if people are not wrong, the underworld loses its meaning of existence.

"It's just a matter of opinion."

"Don't digress anymore, I still want to know about the eight birds."

"In my superficial understanding -- the atheist's understanding -- Yatako is probably similar to the godhead embodiment of a god, and simply understands it as the duty of the god itself, the god whose spirit is no longer there."

Here it is necessary to clarify the meaning of atheists, not people who think that there are no gods in the world, but that atheists do not need gods, and people who do not need gods naturally do not need to care whether there are gods in the world or not, simply called atheists.

"Hachiko is a duty?"

"To exercise one of the most important duties in the world," said Miss Jue, "shine and heat." ”

"Simply put, it's the function of the sun."

"Yes, but the Yaga-bird is just the sun of human imagination, and the real sun has been suspended in the universe for billions of years, and it does not need to be imagined, acknowledged, or concretized by humans."

"Then why do Yata Birds exist?"

"Who knows, the sun is there, rising in the east and setting in the west, but the sun in faith has turned into a bird and lurks in the empty will of Akuna," said Jue, "In fact, I don't really understand it. ”

"Didn't Miss Kanako explain it to you?"

"Yes, but there is no explanation to solve the contradiction of the existence of the gods."

I was reminded of what Miss Kanako had told me about the contradictory "birth" of the gods—the gods who had been there all along, and could not have had a birth, but faith provided a birth for the gods—and the sun of these eight birds was similar to that of the wind god.

"The Eight Birds are a duty to release material energy, to bring light and heat to the world," I said, "and since the Eight Birds have become one with Akong, the gods of the Eight Birds are no longer there?" ”

"I have said it a long time ago, the gods are long gone," said Miss Satoru, "Yatako is something that only gods with clear responsibilities leave behind, and Miss Alice must have heard of the disappearance of gods, and some gods will not leave any proof after they disappear." ”

"It stands to reason that the sun god is the most unlikely deity to disappear."

"Why did the sun god disappear, you have to ask the gods."

"Ah, if there's a chance." The most important question now is not to talk about the gods and the Yachitori, "Has Akon pulled his hands and feet off the boiler, is the job done?" ”

"Hmm."

"Lord Jue, Lord Jue," the pet crow, who had been tossing for three rounds, happily finished his work and flew straight over, aiming for Lord Jue's arms, "Ah Kong is so scared!" ”

Miss Jue dodged her pet's embrace with a natural gesture, "Stupid Akong, go to the side first and cool off." ”

This master is really a negative example of no love! I thought to myself.

"Don't get me wrong," Miss Satoru explained to me, as she seemed to react to something, "Akon who has just finished his work will continue to emit various radiation rays at a high power for a while. ”

"Uh......" I see, it's really uncomfortable to hug the charcoal stove directly, and letting Ah Kong cool off to the side is a practical action instruction, not a mockery of people.

"Woo woo......" Ah Kong ran away crying, squatting at the entrance of the passage to blow the wind.

"I wouldn't treat my puppet so harshly." I still complained.

"I'm the master of this style."

There's nothing wrong with the owner of this style, at least it's much more tasteful than Kaguya's careless attitude of raising rabbits, and Kaguya, who lets his own rabbit hide from his owner, probably doesn't know how to raise pets properly.

I (Penglai) and Miss Jue were waiting for the pet crow to cool down, and I took the opportunity to look around again, when the boiler was running normally, the lava hell seemed to be much calmer, and the slight noise of the boiler, the bubbles of the lava pool, including the hum caused by the scorching heat of the whole scorching hell, made me experience a hellish style through Penglai.

I don't mind waiting a little longer, because the accident that had just wrapped Miss Satoru with the will of the gods had left me with mana, and only my hands were locked in shackles to support my body, and my weak legs couldn't do it - and the restrictions on my strength and magic were even more serious. The only thing that is fortunate is that the shackles are in a very user-friendly position (...... I raised my hands slightly and knelt on the ground with my back to the rock wall, not having to stand hard.

After that, I admired that Miss Jue was still able to stand and chat with me and direct Ah Kong's work, and besides, I didn't want Miss Jue to see my own embarrassment.
