As representatives of the wasteland village, Dant and Brookley were in discussions with the Gobaldo Republic’s high ranking officials.
“I see. So, that’s the case…”
“I did think that was rather excessive of a welcome.”
The both of them felt a sense of discomfort at the welcome their party was given, so they decided to ask Gobaldo’s officials about it. Although the officials were reluctant, they eventually explained in great detail.
“There’s no need to worry. When the time comes, I’m sure Luke-sama will lend you a hand.”
“A-are you sure?”
“Yeah. I mean, he’s the messiah, after all.”
“Messiah…?”
In front of the confused officials, the two of them took a something out: a book.
“And this is…?”
“It’s a book detailing the path that Luke-sama has taken thus far. Reading this should allow you to have a greater understanding of how truly magnificent he is.”
Dant and Brookley. These two had also been indoctrinated by Millia and turned into staunch believers of the Faith of Luke.

After being warmly welcomed by the Gobaldo Republic and spending a few days there just as planned, we were finally about to return to the village.
“The railway system is already complete, so you can now travel from here to the village anytime.”
“Oh my, I couldn’t believe it; you really built it so quickly…and all while you were supposed to be with us…”
Prime Minister Pelesa, who was with us to see us off, said so in his shock.
“I had my body double make it, after all.”
“…a-anyway, once more, I would like to thank for your sparing us a little bit of your precious time and visiting our nation.”
Prime Minister Pelesa was so humble, I could hardly believe he was the head of this nation.
Are we sure he isn’t mistaking me for a king or something…?
By the way, during our stay here, it would seem Dant-san and Brookley-san had met with Gobaldo’s top officials.
“Village Chief Luke, actually, there are some people who had expressed their wish to move into the village.”
The one to cut in at that moment was Dant-san.
“Move? We have more or less a policy to not refuse anyone coming to us, but…”
I was wondering if anyone would really purposefully migrate to a faraway wasteland village like ours, but then…
“““Luke-sama! Please take us with you!!”””
It was the girls from the dancing company called dancing ladies.
“Huh? You girls again…? Are you perhaps being ordered by your country to say that?”
It was one thing if they truly wanted to move to the village, but if they were being forced to say such things, I felt quite sorry for them.
It might be Gobaldo’s way of currying favor with me, but still…
“Not at all!”
“It’s definitely our own wish!”
“Yes, our desperate wish to spread our nation’s traditional performance arts to other nations!”
“I see…”
I guess it’s only natural for them to want the people of other countries to know of the traditions they are so proud of. In that case, I don’t see why not—
“Huh? We obviously won’t accept them, right?”
Selen interjected with a flat refusal. And so, we returned home without taking the girls with us.
…but a few days later…
“““Luke-sama! Please let us stay in the village!”””
“What are you doing here!?”
Yes, a few days after we returned, I found those same girls in the village.
“We used that thing called the reyl way.”
“This village is accepting immigrants at the moment, right?”
“We heard you were!”
Thinking about it, I remembered that the village and the Gobaldo Republic were now connected by railway. So, if these girl really wanted to, they could come and go whenever they want. Moreover, given that we were accepting immigrants from the desert and eastern countries, it wouldn’t be fair if they were the only ones we turned away.
“Then, I suppose I can have you work in our theater.”
“Thank you very much!”
“As I thought, you’re really so manly, Luke-sama!”
“He’s not just cool, he’s fantastic on the inside too!”
When I said yes to their request, the girls celebrated while voicing their praises.
…yup, even if this is just flattery, it’s not so bad.
“But you better make sure Selen doesn’t find out, alright?”
