I'm not going to be an Spirit! (Translate)

Five minutes later. 

The eight crab legs of the stage three Gastrea had been removed, its outer shell completely shattered, and a large hole had been torn through its inner shell. Its internal organs and body fluids were spilled all over the ground. 

Nibelcole and Kayo Senju had worked together to rescue Nia Honjo. Thanks to the defense of her Astral Dress which included corrosion resistance, she had withstood the corrosive gastric acid of the Gastrea. 

However, because of that, when she escaped from its stomach, she was covered in stomach acid and emitted a foul odor. 

Even the two children were more or less stained with blood and other bodily fluids. The three of them were pinching their noses and retching. 

Although she had escaped from the Gastrea's stomach safely, what had just happened left a deep psychological scar on Nia Honjo. 

"Auntie, you're such a weakling," the girl sighed from the bottom of her heart. 

The moment she was eaten by the Gastrea, she had deeply realized why Nia Honjo was called the weakest Spirit. 

If you only looked at the comprehensive ability panel, Nia Honjo's ranking was second to last, with Yuiya Miku at the very bottom. It didn't seem too bad. 

However, in the original work, Yuiya Miku had a powerful record of brainwashing five Spirits by relying on the ability of her angel, [Gabriel]. 

What's more, even angels like Gabriel had certain combat capabilities. The sound waves created by infusing spiritual power could cause considerable physical damage. Although they could only deal with small soldiers and weak enemies, they weren't completely powerless. 

During battle, Yuiya Miku could not only buff her teammates but also had certain means of attack, and her performance in assisting was obvious to all. 

But in the original work, Nia Honjo couldn't even be considered an assistant. 

She was purely a source of information. 

Although her ability to record the future was incredibly powerful, in actual combat especially in a one on one situation no one would stand there stupidly waiting for her to finish drawing. 

And the more the picture went against common sense, the more spiritual power was required to complete it. 

However, her spiritual power was at the bottom among the ten Spirits, even lower than Miku Izayoi. 

The reason she was ranked above Miku Izayoi was simply because her IQ was twice as high. 

Through this battle with the stage two Gastrea, she had gained a full understanding of her own position. 

"Alas, I'll have to change my battle strategy from now on," Nia Honjo said while holding her breath, getting up from the ground. 

Unable to bear the stench on her body, she resisted the urge to retch and said, "Stand still. I'll wash the mucus off your bodies." 

"There's no water here," Kayo Senju said, pinching her nose and speaking in a muffled voice. 

"It's okay. I have a solution." 

As she spoke, Nia Honjo wiped the slime off her hands and summoned the Whispering Volume and the Pen of Narration. 

She turned to a blank page, touched the tip of the pen to the page, and infused it with spiritual power. A new picture appeared on the page. 

The painting depicted a rainy scene. Three people stood under rain clouds, and the heavy rain washed away the stains on their bodies. 

As the picture appeared, the ability to record the future was activated, making this image a reality. 

In the sky, a small patch of dark clouds gradually took shape and gathered above the heads of the three people. 

With the sound of thunder, heavy rain poured down, soaking the three of them instantly. 

Dust, blood, gastric juice, and other stains were washed away little by little by the rain and flowed into the earth. 

Soon, the stains and odors on their bodies disappeared. 

Kayo Senju stared at the dark clouds gradually disappearing in the sky. Although her face was still expressionless, her slightly open mouth and dull eyes showed she was in a state of shock. 

Although she possessed the dolphin gene and had intelligence far beyond that of ordinary people, her brain was unable to comprehend what she had just seen. 

A dark cloud had suddenly appeared in the clear, cloudless sky without any warning. 

Fortunately, the dark clouds had gathered right above their heads and had no effect on the surroundings. 

After the stains on them were washed off, the dark clouds disappeared as if they had accomplished their mission. 

Kayo Senju, who believed in science, could only tell herself that this was a coincidence or a sudden weather event with a probability of one in a billion. 

But looking at the mother and daughter beside her, who looked relaxed and seemed not at all surprised by what had just happened, she couldn't bring herself to believe it was truly a coincidence. 

"Who... are you?" 

"She's just a nun passing by. Remember that." 

"A nun?" 

It was only now that Kayo Senju noticed the strange attire of the mother and daughter. 

What the two of them were wearing looked like the same style of nun's uniform, but it only had the appearance of one. If real nuns saw it, they would definitely rebuke its frivolity. 

Like ink and water mixed together, the gray nun's uniform revealed a transparent texture, so light and thin that you could vaguely see the skin underneath. 

Of course, the most symbolic element was the golden cross. 

Although they didn't look like proper nuns, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with them calling themselves that. 

"This is really strange. I thought ancient religious beliefs had already declined after the catastrophe," Kayo Senju said. "Based on your clothes, I guess you believe in a god named Jesus?" 

"It may look like that, but it's just a coincidence, a coincidence," Nia Honjo said, shaking her finger. "I am a nun, but I'm a nun who believes in the beautiful two-dimensional world. I have nothing to do with Jesus." 

"Two-dimensional... Secondary origin?" Kayo Senju showed a puzzled expression. "Is this a new religion?" 

"You can think of it that way," Nia Honjo said, praying devoutly. "This power is the authority bestowed upon me by the God of the Second Dimension." 

"There must be a scientific explanation for what happened just now," Kayo Senju said stubbornly. "Just like people thousands of years ago regarded fire as a miracle, even though you can summon dark clouds, you must have done it through some device." 

"Then just treat it like that." 

"...Aren't you going to convince me?" 

"Why would I do such a thankless task? I'm not going to preach to you." 

Kayo Senju didn't know what to say because she had already prepared herself for a debate with Nia Honjo. 

But she hadn't expected the other party to have no intention of arguing, which left her feeling a little embarrassed. 

"If I didn't stink so badly, I wouldn't have shown this to you." 

Nia Honjo raised her index finger to her mouth, an inexplicable smile on her lips. 

"Kayo-chan, please don't tell anyone else what happened just now."
