'No way...'
I was speechless, blankly checking the latest episode of 'God Exists and He is hihihaha!.'
Even with the 100 dollars donation, something miraculous happened. Suddenly, water would spring up, or clean food would just fall on the street.
Even with that level of intervention, I could feel a strange sense of elation that I was stirring this world as I pleased.
Begging for donations every episode, every moment, was a bit lame, to put it bluntly... But still, I was able to enjoy it in my own way, so I didn't want to blame it now.
However.
Just because 100 dollars became 1,000 dollars My nickname appeared in the episode, and the character Kiran in the comic openly shouted my nickname.
After that, something like a spear of light poured down from the sky and struck the bellies of the third-rate villains who were harassing Kiran.
The most amazing thing was the art style that depicted this part.
It was a pretty drawing, good enough to look at, but it had changed from that feeling of not being able to shake off the amateurishness to a very sophisticated, high-quality art style.
As if the illustrator had changed!
In addition, the endless messages--Hooray for the 1,000 dollars donation!
To top off this tremendous praise, there was the author's note at the end.
[Thank you so much for donating a whopping 1000 dollars hihihaha!. God exists, and we call him 'hihihaha!.' This world will never forget the immense generosity of hihihaha!, who donated 1,000 dollars]
...Oops. I couldn't help but fail to resist the corners of my mouth twitching without me realizing it.
The more absurd fact than being praised like this was... that I was quite enjoying this 'hype.' And as for the name it didn't matter...
Well, I must have been enjoying it, so I was saving Kiran by donating to this comic that no one else was watching.
[PleaseGiveMeMoney(Author): Of course!
Now that you've invested so much, isn't it only natural that the world changes accordingly? We'll leave a notification comment as soon as the next episode comes out, so please watch Kiran's journey to the end! ]
'Wow. Look at the speed of the reply.'
I couldn't help but be amazed at the incredibly fast speed.
Anyway, fortunately or unfortunately, there was no donation begging at the end of this episode. Does that mean they're refraining a bit since they received a 1,000 dollars donation?
Among the various complicated feelings, the only one that was certain was—
'1,000 dollars was worth it.'
Spending money to change the plot of a comic that no one was watching didn't feel like a waste.
After that day, I became the only reader watching Kiran's biography.
I was also curious about what would happen after that, but the reason I kept watching was because the next development was spectacular.
After hearing the voice of God, Kiran, who witnessed with her own eyes the band of thieves who had been harassing her being pierced by a spear of light, became convinced that the path she should take was that of a saintess.
And from that point on, she became aware that everything, from water springing up to food being found, was not a coincidence but the 'power of God.'
Well, since there was a description of 'God exists' constantly ringing in her head, it was natural for her to act that way...
The problem was that even when I donated 100 dollars now, she was overly conscious of my existence.
In addition, even in the moment of facing a dangerous situation while traveling, instead of soliciting donations in the usual 'author's note' style-
[Our only God,hihihaha!. I dare to ask of hihihaha, please have mercy on this young lamb one more time. Give me the opportunity to overcome this ordeal and deliver the words of hihihaha!.....!!]
-She started to borrow the mouth of the
character 'Kiran' in the story.
[hihihaha!: What happens if I don't donate? ]
[PleaseGiveMeMoney(Author): Of course, it is up to hihihaha! to decide whether to donate or not.Even if a miracle doesn't come, Kiran will never resent hihihaha!. Although, without hihihaha!'s blessing, Kiran will have to accept her originally destined fate..... But what can you do? She was destined to be that way anyway, so please don't feel pressured at all.]
She was destined to be that way anyway.
How can I not care when you say it like that!
'Ha... This bastard is good at business.'
Why is someone like this so obsessively drawing a low-profile comic that no one else is watching?
'What should I do?'
Could it be that I've grown attached to Kiran, who keeps calling my nickname?
Even though I know that the author is typing in every single line, I couldn't ignore her.
What should I call this. A feeling that I once had as a child, got hurt badly, and had forgotten
▬▬ the desire to be a hero.
The desire to save someone with my own hands.
At least the difference from then is that at least the author isn't scamming me now.
Anyway- my donation relay continued.
Getting hungry?
100 dollars donation!
[Thanks to hihihaha!'s grace, I was able to solve my meal safely today. Thank you.]
Feeling uncomfortable from not washing for a long time?
100 dollars donation!
[hihihaha! Father, thanks to you, I was able to soak in hot spring water. You have shown me your favor again. I think I will be able to have a more refined demeanor towards hihihaha! with this.]
Although it was an infuriating tactic, when Kiran smiled and thanked me, I felt good for no reason and I couldn't help but smile too.
When was the last time I was recognized by someone?
I once heard that the human brain is so simple that it falls into the illusion that it has experienced something just by reading a book.
It meant that reading a book has the effect of living someone else's life vicariously.
So, it's probably not that stupid to satisfy my desire for recognition with every word of Kiran, who is just a character in a comic.... Surely.
What's especially infuriating about the tactics... is that Kiran's art style has noticeably improved as the episodes go on.
At first, she was a girl who couldn't eat or wash properly and was running away here and there, but because I kept throwing 100 dollars punches, she even got dressed up in plausible traveler's clothes, ate well, and took a clean bath in a hot spring.
Naturally, her appearance, which I hadn't paid much attention to, caught my eye. Long platinum blonde hair, blue eyes that seemed to contain the sky, and a fairly voluminous chest that couldn't be hidden and was revealed when she wore proper women's clothes, which I hadn't noticed when she was wearing rags.
Even though she grew up without eating properly, if she's this size, how far would she have grown if the nurturing environment had been good- I stopped thinking about it. I felt like I was having impious thoughts about someone who was following me as 'God.'
What caught my eye in particular was the scene where she was bathing in the hot spring I made.
Without realizing it, I stopped scrolling for a while and admired her naked body.
Well, even if it's a nude, only about half of her upper body was shown. Because she was in the tub.
Even so, the presence of the two very white and large breasts did not diminish..... I couldn't help but gulp.
'This... how about..... that... can't I.....?'
Thinking that far, I shook my head.
Even so, it wouldn't be good for my reputation to say 'show me more boob' while donating.
But well..... a compliment or two is okay, right?
[hihihaha! ( Donation / $100): Author, this episode of Kiran is kinda.... cute.... I like the Divine Power pouches... Hehehe ]
[PleaseGiveMeMoney(Author): Thank you. I'm honored that you like Kiran. I'll make sure to tell Kiran. She'll probably be very happy! ]
'This concept is really amazing.'
Even as I said that, I couldn't help but smile.
Okay. I'll be honest.
Before I knew it, I was so engrossed in her and her journey that I was even thinking this way. The $100 that was going out didn't even feel like I was spending money anymore.
If Kiran can become a saintess safely, isn't that not a very expensive price to pay?
Of course, not everything was solved with just 100 dollars.
[This is....]
What appeared in front of her was a single, enormous rock.
In front of the rock that was blocking the path she had to take, Kiran knelt down and began to pray.
[I dare to ask of hihihaha!, please give me the strength to overcome this ordeal. Please...]
I was quite familiar with this pattern, and what caught my eye was the 'author's note' that was written after a long time.
[ This time, the problem cannot be solved with a $100 donation! ππ Considering the mass and destructive power of the stone, it seems that only donations of 300 dollars or more can help Kiran. P lease don't turn a blind eye to Kiran! ]
As soon as I saw the author's note, a ridiculous chuckle came out.
[hihihaha!: Wasn't everything working with just $ 100 so far? ]
[PleaseGiveMeMoney(Author): I'm sorry. I also wanted to solve it somehow with the power of $100... but it was determined that the power of $300 or more is absolutely necessary to remove this much stone. I'm very shameless to say this, but if you're willing to help, I would dare to say that it would be great if you could help with a donation amount of $300 or more.]
'You're the author, you can just draw it after receiving 100 dollars!!!'
....I wanted to write that in the comments.
Well. The important thing is that I'm not that upset yet.
[hihihaha!( Donation / $300 ) : Let's go quickly]
[PleaseGiveMeMoney(Author): Thank you! You are so generous! We will never forget hihihaha!'s bold ambition, courage, and judgment to accurately recognize when to make a decision! ]
The next episode showed the scene of the stone being struck by lightning and shattered.
Kiran seemed moved and immediately looked up at the sky and began to pray.
[hihihaha!. Thank you. You're watching over me...! I will never forget this grace I have received today...!!!]
'Yeah, yeah.'
Even considering the fact that money kept going out, it was a pretty enjoyable time for me.
***
How much time had passed like that?
Kiran finally arrived at the Vatican.
'What?'
What was waiting for me was the devastating story that she could never become a saintess.
