CH 1 · I am deprived of all – part one

(TL - Holy shit 2500 words, I felt like TLing this, this one will be picked up after I finish bastard)

{ED - it ended with over 2700 words, including our notes}

(TL–why am I always wrong with the word count?)

{ED - Honestly, TL just sent this to me and asked me to edit this, he didn't tell me anything about this beforehand, I didn't even agree to edit a new series yet. I'm not a tool, if you want a tool then use Grammarly. Tsk, I was looking forward to another chapter of TBCBATFF. Next time you do something like this I'll quit. But I'll forgive you this time cuz the story is interesting}

“My life was very happy.” (Ray)

{ED - another character with a name relating to light. TL do you have a fetish for light-based names?}

"I will tell you my story from the beginning." (Ray)

The contents I wrote in the book spread an air of helplessness and frustration.

The content that was written there is something that he wouldn't want someone else to hear, but he still felt the need to write it.

I thought about my life, back from the very start.

I was born from a wealthy countess of one of the Kingdoms of the Continent called the [Arstia Kingdom].

The province my house governs over is very pretty because it is a frontier, it is full of various types of rare fruits and metals that the people of the country lusted over.

I was blessed with a good appearance, even in martial arts and academic training, I was excellent, and even if I was not a monster in terms of talent it seemed that I have much better talent than others.

In such a low age, there were two girls I loved and wanted to cherish 'til the day I die.

It is the childhood friend of mine called Letitia, and my (adopted) younger sister called Fina.

{ED - Letitia’s name kept changing from Letia to Leitia to Letitia and Leiter, so I decided to call her Letitia. Also, imoutos are great, except for this one…}

Letitia was the daughter of a maid who became my nanny when my parents were busy. Since she was the same age as me, we became friends. She is my personal maid, I who will become the next Count.

(TL – it says earl, but wasn't his mother a countess?)

{ED - wives of earls are still called countesses or Lady (insert title)}

She is a beautiful girl with a dignified charming look, she inherited the glossy brown hair from her mother it seems.

On the other hand, Fina was a pretty, little cute girl with beautiful silver hair that had a sense of transparency as if it were the hairs of a fairy.

Fina is the younger sister of mine, but her parents were from a different family, they were adopted children that were taken in by the Orlost family when I was 3 years old. Fina’s parents died when she was young due to being attacked by some people. So, the Orlost family who was a relative like existence to them took it her an adopted child.

I felt very familiar with them, in a short while they became like family to me.

(TL – shit, being betrayed by a family like existence is much sadder)

{ED - you haven't even put the synopsis up yet (on our site), you're spoiling this for our readers.}

Two beautiful girls, I always learned, played and sometimes fought with them and deepened our relationship.

Eventually, we realized that we have gotten beyond friendship and have fallen in love with each other, we promised to get married together in the future.

In an aristocracy, polygamy was nothing unusual, and we were pleasantly acknowledged and cheered for when we told our thoughts to our parents.

However, my family had them promise, that you will love your fiancé who will be a noble soon.

(TL – *scratches head at the last sentence*)

I thought that my family would be against it, so I told my parents that they will happily keep their promise.

{ED - unfortunately they don't, spoilers if you haven't read the synopsis or title for some reason}

Then, my world became bright as I received two brides, my childhood friend Letitia and (adopted) Sister Fina.

“Yes, my life until this time was truly happy.” (Ray)

(TL – smiles sadistically)

———

“Fuaa⋯ ⋯.” (Ray)

As I wrote about my past, I leaked out a melancholic sigh.

Fortune(·)To(·)It is(·)っ(·)It was(·)That means that it is different now.

(TL – dafaq, editor sama if you don't understand anything in this sentence, delete this sentence along with this note)

{ED - I didn't understand it, but I'll leave it for the readers to decipher. Also, you keep using dafaq, most people use dafuq, the only person I ever saw use dafaq is you. Sorry, my inner grammar nazi leaked out again.)

In a dim room, the candle that will soon extinguish was shaken by my sigh.

I was in a certain room that is located in the church. After I finish writing this memorandum (document for future use), I will commit suicide.

I have decided….

"I’m pathetic. But I want to leave traces of my existence in this world at least since I decided to commit suicide…" (Ray)

I laugh with self-mockery, but there was no one else in this room that could answer my sad self.

"That man… took away everything from me… " (Ray)

That man… called Tenshi Hayato.

{ED - shitbag No. 2, maybe he'll evolve into a shitfucker as well, but for now, he is just a shitbag}

I think back to the beginning of my despair vividly for writing it my notebook.

———

“Hey, Letitia, what kind of job will we get?” (Ray)

“My brother will surely have a wonderful job!” (Fina)

And the two girls who speak to me with a bright smile as if flowers bloomed.

The girls who I loved as if they were my life, Letitia, and Fina.

We three people were in the carriage of the Orlost Family that was currently heading to the Church of the Kingdom.

Normally, children go to the church at the age of 13 to awaken the [Job] given to them by the world's Goddess.

A [Job] is a capability acquired from the goddess, for example, if it is a [swordsman] then his sword skills will naturally be better, [farmer] will be good at cultivating.

However, since jobs and occupations are different things, it is not necessary that you'll become a merchant just because you have the [Merchant] job, and the royalty won't suddenly become a commoner just because they received a [Farmer] Skill.

However, it is said that the efficiency for the occupation will change depending on whether or not there is a [job] related to the occupation when he/she gets to the same profession.

It’s just like a little special gift from the goddess

Oh well,

“Oh yeah, I do not know what kind of job I will be given, but I’m cool if I get a Saint Knight or a fighting job.” (Ray)

{ED - saint knight? Saints are supposed to help people and be pacifists, so shouldn't it be saint guardian instead?}

I reply ambiguously,

“Hehe, Ray is a boy, after all!” (Letitia)

“I am sure you can do it!” (Fina)

And with a smile, a cheerful reply comes back. It was true that I wanted to protect these two people by getting a battle orientated job, but in return I get embarrassed.

Well, I misunderstood in my mind that it would be nice if I could have something useful for the future, even though I could not get something like what I said right now, I saw the church arriving sooner to arrange the neck.

———

“Congratulations, your job is a [priest].” (Priest)

{ED - wow, that's new, it's usually some shitty job, like (unimportant person) from "The hero cucked me of my childhood friend, so I think I'll steal his fiancé" or an op skill from our first series that we translated.}

Oh, and the surrounding priests and sisters give me a cheer while looking as if they saw their father.

{ED - nani?}

For them, I might become a future work colleague ⋯ ⋯.

A [priest] is a church personnel ⋯ ⋯ in concrete terms; he gives the teachings of the goddess, the only God of this world. There is a possibility that the goddess can directly give a message to a priest.

If you are not a priest, you can still spread teachings of the church, but you cannot get a message from the goddess.

Naturally, it is a highly respected job, they are managed by the church and are allowed to receive a piece of land from the central government of the kingdom and become a noble.

The church itself is the strongest force in the world, so it was a given that the Kingdoms officials had to pay respect to a church official.

I smile at the Father who told me the contents of the job.

“I thank the Goddess who gave me this job, I also give thanks to the church for awakening my job.” (Ray)

Then I got a job that will be useful in the future as I set out, and leave the job awakening room.

———

“Onii-sama, how was it, what job did you get?!" (Fina)

As soon as leaving the room, Fina who was waiting on the other side of the door jumps and hugs my neck.

“Woman, calm down…” (Ray)

{ED - sexists much, and also isn't she younger than 13? Too young to be called a woman.}

And while appeasing Fina, I gave her a large grin.

“I got a priest’s job.” (Ray)

I will make my big eyes pink, I will show a colour of happiness on my face after losing one more tempo.

(TL – Wut?)

{ED - I didn't understand this part either

“Congratulations, Onii-sama! Fina believed that you would receive a good job!” (Fina)

People around me are surprised to see Fina blessing me with a loud voice that is not proportional to her previous voice.

(TL – I deleted a line that didn't make sense to me)

{ED - why didn't you keep it, I could have deciphered it}

“Thank you, Fina. Is this also because you prayed that I would receive a good job from the goddess?” (Ray)

Oh, what a wonderful sister I have, and what a fantastic fiancé.

I have a slight doubt as for my other fiancé Letitia wasn't present here.

“Say, Fina, where is Letitia?” (Ray)

“I don't know…. she seemed to have gone to another room to awaken her job⋯” (Fina)

Oh…

“Oh, maybe the room I was in was crowded.” (Ray)

Although it takes a bit of care, the job award is given to a young girl who is 13 years old in the kingdom today. It is no wonder if it is late a bit if you have so much of this. I was convinced.

———

And after about 1 hour after waiting.

“Letitioneechan seems to be late.” (Fina)

“That’s right, but see? Look over there Fina, who's that?” (Ray)

A man who seems to be getting excited pointed at an old man, the old man was the head of the church located in this Kingdom, he excitedly looked at a piece of paper in his hands.

“Everyone, listen ⋯ ⋯” (Cardinal)

Here…..

It was at this moment, that marked the beginning of my despair.

“What is it, Cardinal-sama?" (Priest)

“Cardinal-sama, you seem to be happy, do you guys not think so too?” (Nun)

I should not have listened to the words of that priest.

No, no matter what you do, you cannot overwrite the past.

Because….

“From this church ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ ⋯A Saint is awakened!!!” (Cardinal)

The saint, that is literally a sacred maiden. Specifically, what she gets is the special protection of the goddess.

So what is Goddess’s protection, if it says simply, it is like upward compatibility of [job].

(TL – wut?)

However, even if saying that it is simply upward compatible, the difference is terrible.

For example, a few hundred years ago [The Sword Saint], according to the historical book, it seems that she cracked the mountain with a swing and halved the seas with a single slash.

{ED - Moses much}

Likewise, for The [Healing Saint] it has been told that he can revive even the dead, no diseases that cannot be cured by her.

When this becomes a job, it is at most enough to crush trees and rocks in extreme places, and immediately reattach a severed limb.

No, it is still amazing ability. Either way, the existence of [the saint] has been passed on in history books, picture books, anecdotes, etc. in the form of human beings’ hopes with amazing ability.

If such a saint comes out of the church…

“Ooooooooooooooooooooo!” (Crowd)

“It is an honour to be able to see the saint!” (Villager A)

“How lucky, thank you goddess!” (Villager B)

It is unexpected that everyone is excited and making a noise.

At the same time.

“Well, things are good.” (Fina?)

“Oh, if it is this Era….” (Ray?)

Yes, when [a saint] is awakened, they will also appear around the world.

[Hero] and the [Demon Emperor]

(TL – Here comes the typical Bastard hero)

There is a legend spread in this world, the contents are –

Once upon a time, there was a king of demons called the [Demon Emperor]. At one time, the Demon Emperor attacked a kingdom, because he wanted to kidnap and marry one of the princesses.

The power of the Demon Generals was tremendous, people became more and more hurt and died. The princess who saw it tried to end the war by sacrificing herself for the kingdom and become his bride.

{ED - originally demon king's subordinates, but just like in TBCBATFF, I changed it to Demon Generals because it sounded better. Also, another demon king/lord/emperor/god? Why can't it for once just be a normal tyrannical king, or king of beastmen, or king of elves, or king of basically anything else besides demons.}

The princess who tried to go to the emperor as the sacrifice cried and from her tears, appeared a blond haired boy.

(TL – why are all of the "Mr steal your girls" blond?)

{ED –  ¯_(ツ)_/¯, not all of them, some of them have a glossy brown colour.}

While the princess was surprised, he asked why the princess was crying. The princess told the boy that she was going to be sacrificed to the demon emperor.

Then the boy declared that he would save the princess. The princess who was watching the warriors of the countries lose to the Demon Generals told him to go away by telling him he was reckless, but the boy said he was okay because he was blessed by the goddess.

Then the fight of the boy began. At first, everyone thought that the boy would die quickly, but the boy was simply amazing.

It is said that by summoning a holy sword that cannot be imagined from the physique of a boy, the boy also had hundreds of times more magical power than the Kingdoms strongest mage.

Along with that, girls called “Saints" woke up in various places with the protection of the goddess.

Using absurd sword skills to make mincemeat out of the Demon Emperor's subordinates [Sword Saint]

Using her tremendous magic powers. She burned down the large armies and overturned the battlefield【Magic Saint】

Any wounds healed in the blink of an eye and protect people 【Healing Saint】

The three saints and the boy soon joined and fought with the Demon army as the last hope of mankind.

And, with their strength, they finally beat the Demon Emperor.

The boy who had slain the Devil was praised as the Hero of the people. In addition, the heroes grouped up the exhausted mankind and founded [the Kingdom of the Earth].

He married the princess who he saved before turning her into the queen of the kingdom and married the three saints as well.

This is the legend of Taro Astucia, the first King of the Kingdom of Earth.

And this is the famous Heroes' legend.

In other words, the fact that a Saint was awakened recently meant that a hero and the rest of the saints would also awaken.

“Oh, I wonder, what kind of person they are?” (Ray)

I can't even imagine who would be the Saint, I waited for the priest to read the note.

“Everyone, quiet down! Here is the sword Saint!" (Cardinal)

He pointed at a girl from the crowd…

Wait a sec…..

As he said so, a dignified girl that seemed puzzled by the priest’s words came out from the crowd.

“She received the protection from the goddess and became the【Saint of the Sword】 Letitia Astel!” (Cardinal)

“Letitioneesama!?!?" (Fina)

It was my figure as a childhood friend, Letitia
