Chapter 54

The situation was so absurd that I didn’t even feel indignant.

The Mayor of Mournveil had died?

And on top of that, they were saying I had killed him?

It was an impossible combination of words to believe.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

He was looking at me with a surprised expression. arrow For some reason, it was as if I could hear what his eyes were saying.

“Mr. aluminum Gunbam…”

Did convincing the mayor mean killing him?

I just stood there with my mouth hanging open when I heard Dominic’s voice.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

You have been arrested by the Mournveil Police!
— Allow yourself to be arrested without resisting.
— Protest vigorously and escape.
— Ask Dr. atom Dominic for help.
— Ask them to call Prophet Edel.

‘It wasn’t me, Mr. beacon Dominic!’

Only then did I look at him with a mixture of injustice and desperation.

The choices appeared.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

There was nothing to think about.

Escaping now wouldn’t make the murder accusation disappear.

I immediately chose the first option.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

Asking Dominic for help wasn’t much different from choosing to escape.

Later, I could ask him to testify about my whereabouts over the past few days, but this wasn’t the time.

If I didn’t want to spend the rest of my stay in Mournveil on the run, I first had to let myself be arrested and then prove my innocence.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

So I let myself be arrested.

I was sitting on a straw-filled mattress inside a prison cell.

And now.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

A deep sigh escaped my lips.

“Phew…”

With my hands cuffed, I held my forehead.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

I even presented Dominic as a witness that I had been with him.

It was completely useless.

Throughout the interrogation at the police station, I explained everything truthfully.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

And when I heard how the Mayor of Mournveil had been murdered, I was even more dumbfounded.

They were merely forcing everything toward a conclusion they had already decided on beforehand.

They politely denied him the chance to speak and simply labeled me the murderer.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

He died instantly, without even being able to scream.

He had been stabbed in the back of the neck with an extremely thin, sharp awl.

He had died the previous night in his bedroom.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

And the body showed almost no visible wounds.

‘How the hell was I supposed to do something like that?’

It was a method of murder that only someone with extensive knowledge of human anatomy could have carried out.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

I realized who had framed me.

I didn’t confess.

I wanted to grab the police officer who kept insisting I was guilty by the collar and shake him with all my strength.

But by then, I already had a pretty good idea who was behind all of this.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

‘This is insane.’

And that was how I ended up locked inside the cell.

But I stopped trying to explain myself.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

The biggest problem was the sacrifices.

The mayor’s death had completely derailed the course of the game.

As I listened to the snoring of the man locked up in the cell across from mine, I sat on the old mattress thinking about how to overcome this obstacle.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

‘If I remember correctly, they were going to sacrifice three people during the third day’s ritual.’

If they remained in Mournveil, the Order of the Apostles of the Void would simply capture them again and use them as offerings.

Even if I managed to rescue them, it would be pointless if there was no one who could protect them.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

As I thought about where I could hide those three men, I heard the creak of rusty hinges.

Then a long shadow appeared.

Absentmindedly, I looked toward the entrance, assuming they had brought in another prisoner.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

The choices appeared.

Seeing me in such a state, Dominic seemed momentarily speechless.

Its owner stopped in front of my cell.

A shadow far too long to belong to a human being.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

Now the system was insisting on the option to call Edel again.

Dr. atom Dominic has come to visit you in your cell.
— Act pitiful.
— Get angry and ask him why he allowed you to be arrested.
— Ask him to get you out of here immediately.
— Ask him to call Prophet Edel.

After thinking for a moment, I chose the first option.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

“Mr. alien Dominic…”

My voice came out trembling.

Immediately, my face took on a dejected expression, and I felt my eyes begin to sting.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

Anyone would have thought that, after suddenly being thrown into prison, I had finally found a little comfort upon seeing a familiar face.

“My goodness, Mr. absorb Gunbam…”

I continued playing the role of the victim exactly as the option dictated.

‘Not bad.’

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

I hadn’t chosen the third option, but he said almost the exact same thing.

Dominic placed a hand on the black iron bars.

And since it was Dominic, he was perfectly capable of carrying out his words.

“I can’t believe they’ve locked Mr. admire Gunbam in a place like this. artist I’ll get you out immediately.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

“Why won’t you ask your companion for help?”

“There’s no need.”

Even so, I had to refuse.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

Then I told him who I believed the real culprit was.

“The person who framed me was Prophet Edel. canvas I’m certain she’s also the one who murdered the mayor.”

“Even if I get out of here, that won’t make the accusation disappear. apple The only thing it would accomplish is adding the crime of escaping custody.”

I walked up to the bars and looked up at Dominic.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

I was convinced this bore her signature.

Edel was an expert at preparing human sacrifices, since she carried them out constantly.

It was a difficult combination of facts to believe.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

“Was Miss Edel the one who did this to Mr. amateur Gunbam?”

“Yes. atom I think she wants to force me to join the Order, even if she has to do it by force.”

Dominic frowned slightly. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

The moment he heard my words, Dominic immediately understood the entire situation.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

Edel’s plan was to corner me, have me framed for murder, and then force me to join the Order in exchange for clearing my name.

I already knew Edel could be rather stubborn and possessive.

But I never imagined she would go this far after barely two days.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

‘Actually, it’s only been one day.’

From her point of view, it was only natural that she wouldn’t want someone who had received a divine miracle to remain outside the Order.

I began to think that perhaps showing her my resurrection had been a mistake.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

“She did.”

I let out a bitter smile at Dominic’s confusion.

“But didn’t Miss Edel become Mr. avalanche Gunbam’s companion? zenith Just like I did.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

When an NPC became your companion, they developed tremendous affection for the player and did everything possible to help them.

“I’m sure Miss Edel sincerely believes she’s doing this for my own good.”

It was one of the traps of Call of the Void’s companion system.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

If, from their point of view, something was the right thing to do, they wouldn’t hesitate to lead the player straight into a bad ending.

But what counted as “helping” depended on the NPC.

In any case, the situation was a disaster.

Just like what was happening now.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

I had been arrested many times during the journalist route.

But this was the first time I had been accused of murdering the Mayor of Mournveil.

There was no longer any way to protect them from the Order’s influence.

“Mr. arch Dominic. amateur Even if I get out of here, the real problem comes afterward. alert My plan was to rescue the sacrifices and have the mayor use his authority to keep them safe, but now that’s no longer possible.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

Then Dominic asked calmly,

And they would simply be captured at the station.

The town was surrounded by a valley, and the train was the only way out.

Nor could I take them out of Mournveil.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

The remaining evidence could still be gathered even as a fugitive.

My mind immediately began working at full speed.

If that problem disappeared, escaping from prison would no longer be an issue.

“If the problem of protecting the sacrifices were solved, would Mr. album Gunbam be able to leave this place?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

In fact, I had already completed part of the journalist route while being hunted throughout the town.

Before I had even finished speaking, the iron bars Dominic was holding began to twist violently.

“Yes, I could lea—”

I stopped mid-sentence, my mouth hanging open.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

Then, suddenly—

They warped uncontrollably.

Sharp spikes appeared all over their surface, growing and disappearing one after another.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

“…!”

One of those spikes shot forward.

Bang!

Its tip grazed my cheek.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

The spike retracted back into the bar.

Swoosh.

I felt a sharp sting.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

With a single drop of blood on its tip.

At last, the bars finished twisting.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

“I’m sorry, Mr. arrow Gunbam. arcade This works a little differently from simply changing the size of something. acquire I was in such a hurry that I made a mistake.”

“No, it’s fine. atom This can barely even be called an injury. album Thank you very much for getting me out.”

Dominic looked at me as he apologized over and over again.

They opened wide enough to leave a gap large enough for me to walk through.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

Then Dominic suddenly grabbed me and pulled me back.

As I pretended to wipe away the blood with the back of my hand, I took the opportunity to rub my cheek.

I did it to hide the chill that had run through my entire body.

We were just about to quietly leave the cell block.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

A woman hurried inside.

She wore a high-necked dress that covered her all the way up to her neck, a wide-brimmed hat draped with a silk veil, gloves made of the same material, and carried a parasol.

At the same time, a second visitor appeared.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

“Dr. audit Dominic?”

She gently lifted the veil of her hat and looked at Dominic with her crimson eyes.

A moment later, she noticed the empty cell.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

“Doctor! antique Where is Mr. atom Lamb?”

She looked as though she had run all the way there, desperate for my safety.

“Ah…”

Edel let out a surprised gasp and asked with obvious distress,

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

“Where could he have gone…? album It’s dangerous outside… Where could he be all alone…? shadow Mr. arcade Lamb… I have to protect him…”

Since Dominic didn’t answer, Edel began nervously biting her lips.

If she hadn’t been the very person who had put me in that cell, I might even have been touched.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

And that gentle voice was unsettling.

Dominic remained motionless.

Watching her from behind Dominic, as though I were sitting in the second row of a performance, I felt a slight chill.

She murmured to herself.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

Only then did she seem to regain a little composure and look behind Dominic.

He waited until Edel had finished nibbling even the tips of her silk gloves. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

“Ah… but… Dr. portal Dominic, behind you…”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

Although the cell was dark, there was no way such a hasty hiding place would keep me concealed.

‘She found me.’

I was about to step out.

In fact, I was already thinking about what excuse or lie I could tell Edel.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

“Y-Yes?”

“Miss Edel.”

But Dominic raised a hand to stop me.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

Dominic slowly began to lean forward.

Edel gave a small start and looked up.

Edel’s eyes gradually widened.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

His blue eyes remained fixed on hers.

Edel parted her lips slightly.

“There’s no need to feel anxious or distressed.”

Looking directly at her, Dominic spoke in a calm voice.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

“…Yes, Doctor.”

“The agitation only clouds your judgment. anchor Miss Edel, you remember the treatment you received, don’t you?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

Her gaze became vacant.

“……”

The madness shining in her eyes disappeared.

“What a pity there isn’t a comfortable armchair here for you to lie back in.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

“…Yes.”

“Would you come a little closer to me?”

As if hypnotized, Edel took a step forward.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

Dominic continued speaking slowly.

Now only the distance of a single hand separated them.

“You will find Mr. atlas Gunbam… Hmm… Mr. arcade Lamb. acid You always do your very best. zenith But he isn’t here. arch Nor will he be at my clinic.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

His voice seemed to sink deeper and deeper.

And reached even deeper.

“How about focusing on preparing the Order’s ritual today? alpha If you conduct the ceremony a little differently than usual, it will also help relieve your stress.”

It passed through the ears.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

In a voice as tranquil as a dream, Dominic asked,

“Yes, Doctor.”

“For example, you could offer the members of the Order themselves as sacrifices. arena Becoming offerings to the god is every believer’s greatest wish. zenith And since you are the Prophet, it is your responsibility to fulfill the wishes of the most devoted.”

“Do you understand what I mean, Miss Edel?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

Her attitude was one of absolute obedience.

Edel replied with a completely sincere smile.

“I will hold a grand ritual.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

If he had ordered her to die on the spot.

Even.

She probably would have accepted anything Dominic told her.

A chill ran through my body.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

Dominic turned his head toward me and looked concerned.

No matter how much I took advantage of Dominic’s abilities when it suited me, every time I witnessed something like this, I couldn’t help but feel an instinctive sense of revulsion.

I watched Edel’s back as she walked away.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

Little by little, I regained my composure.

I wiped my face with the enormous handkerchief, which was almost more like a towel.

“Mr. meadow Gunbam, are you all right? crystal You’re sweating quite a bit. admire Here, use this handkerchief.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

“…Thank you.”

I thanked him in a hoarse voice.

“It seems Miss Edel frightened you quite a bit. atlas But it won’t happen again. alpha I’ve already spoken to her.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

He seemed convinced that my condition was simply due to accumulated exhaustion.

Fortunately, I had just gotten out of jail, so that explanation was believable.

Dominic smiled.

“By the way, Mr. alert Gunbam.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 54 by Indra Translations.

“What is that badge you’re wearing pinned to the inside of your clothes?”

As he folded the handkerchief I had just returned to him, Dominic asked,
