The people who have died, including those on the church’s side, are more than this guy…

>>1

As an inquisitor, I ended up taking someone’s life just because of my own misunderstanding…

Bad times and bad luck.

The power holder of the time…

This is why a mercenary with no education should never become an inquisitor.

>>4

They were convenient personnel that could be disposed of as disposable.

>>4

If you’re a mercenary, you should be better at reading social skills and the situation.

>>5

It really looks like a character from Attack on Titan, doesn’t it?

If I hadn’t seriously taken on the job of an inquisitor, it probably wouldn’t have turned out like this…

Being overly serious is a bad thing.

Really pointless.

It’s more like learning.

Perhaps it’s because I was a former mercenary that I didn’t understand the weight of taking a life.

I realized she was my daughter.

I’m glad.

Rather, is it because you are smart that you haven’t noticed various little things?

>>14

It’s stupid to accuse the people my daughter associates with of being heretics in an instant…

Well, even if the persecution of the heliocentric theory was limited to the jurisdiction of the previous bishop, it seems like they are still doing the utterly unreasonable witch trials normally…

I thought it was a world like this.

On the contrary, I was surprised to see such a flexible opinion coming out…

They have good intuition but lack the intelligence to adapt.

>>18

To say to be flexible is like saying to overlook corruption.

I’m being vague about the year.

The abundance of those torture devices overlaps with the witch hunts, doesn’t it?

There are torture devices developed during the witch hunts.

It’s not a strange story or anything.

“You’re spending too much money on the Inquisition.”

I think there was some motivation for conducting the inquisition, but they didn’t have the grounds to label the heliocentric theory as heresy.

>>23

Because my boss said it’s heresy, it’s heresy!

>>23

When I was asked, “Why is it no good with Yoreanta?” I could only respond, “Because it’s no good!”

The fujoshi was drawing a ton of fan art of Antoni, and it was no good.

Why do you like that jerk so much?

>>24

It’s better not to underestimate fujoshi… even now, while we are posting here, they are creating at least one piece of fan art for the world.

>>138

Okupade! Okupade!

>>148

Shame.

A person who wasn’t particularly religious but was somehow serious.

It’s terrible to be told this by someone who tried to kill my daughter by labeling her as an outcast.

It’s not just because of the times…

It seems like this guy just took things too seriously.

>>30

That aside, I judge heretics other than those related to cosmology normally…

>>30

Oguzie-kun… Badeni-san…

The repression in specific fields by a power holder who happened to experience a setback.

I recall the decadent art associated with the little mustache.

Once you make a determination of heresy even once, you can no longer admit to being wrong…

An old man who accurately remembers the names of believers in cosmology, even though he may have judged a fair amount of ordinary heresy.

>>35

I transformed into the Absolute Killer Man…

Well, it is karma, after all…

>>38

It’s undeniable that what the person did is a result of their own actions, but since what they relied on has been completely denied, it’s quite… unsettling.

It’s evident that my values were such that, as a mercenary, I naturally would follow my superior’s orders without question.

But you know.

Even in modern times, there are people who don’t believe the Earth is round in Christianity.

>>40

If you listen to the geologists, the reliability of the Bible will be shaken…

>>40

I love the story about people who claim that the Earth is not round and that the midnight sun doesn’t exist, but then go to the Arctic Circle and actually experience the midnight sun.

In the end, will I come to know that it was Ms. Yorenta who self-destructed right in front of me?

By the way, why did this guy quit being a mercenary?

>>43

They probably thought that hunting heretics is an easier job than killing each other.

>>43

Wanting to settle into a proper government job isn’t such a strange thing, is it?

Are there still exciting points left?

>>49

But what about the Evangelicals?

This work is also a grand story of dignity destruction of the thread image, making it essentially an underlying protagonist.

>>50

It seems there was a sadistic gay person like that…

I ended up meeting a crazy kid like Rafau…

Perhaps the author’s favorite.

>>55

Or rather, wasn’t it the story of the thread image…?

It’s not a work that is faithful to historical facts, so don’t try to fit it into that framework.

I believe that it’s a wise way to navigate life to endure tough situations and go along with the flow.

The long thing that is wrapped is actually not that long!

People are dying! Dying! Dying everywhere!

Totally misunderstanding!

Too terrible…

>>59

Unfortunately, it’s not just a misunderstanding that stems from meaningless personal likes and dislikes.

You love the nameless character, right? A character who receives retribution through karma.

>>60

I was just working, so it’s not karma, right…?

>>63

I wasn’t told to go that far.

You’re trying too hard seriously.

>>63

Work is not a justification for being thoughtless.

“You guys are not characters in history” is too critical a line both meta-textually and within the narrative.

I watch the anime but don’t know the original work; up to episode 20, how far has it progressed in the original?

It seems that the core of Novak has been denied, and the biggest obstacle in the story has broken his spirit.

There is no particular basis or reason to deny the theory of heliocentrism.

In order to justify the inverse actions I have taken, the heliocentric theory had to be deemed heretical.

The person in the thread hasn’t done anything wrong at all…

>>65

I’m doing bad things!

It looks that way from the outside, and even according to the standards in the story, it’s like, come on, think a little more… that’s what it’s saying.

If I may say, I wanted a bit more depth regarding the behavior of blindly believing without having any faith.

I like how Rafau died in a way that felt like a victory escape.

The enemy was tough, wasn’t it…

A perfect villain who is so terrible until the end that there is no room for sympathy.

If we are to say who is at fault, it’s the authorities who were oppressing out of misguided resentment.

Isn’t it wrong to say that there’s no faith in the thread image?

When you said things like “God is stupid” when my daughter was little, you would get really angry and hit me, right?

>>72

Isn’t it to protect your position?

>>77

Why do you need to do that in your room?

At the point where even those from the same camp felt that it didn’t need to be taken that far, one element of sympathy disappears.

I think Rafau is the craziest among the characters.

>>74

The scene in the opening where they’re laughing in the fire is almost like the composition of a demon lord.

>>74

Unlike the others, you can instantly avoid it without saying a word because it’s poison…

>>74

Readers and viewers will definitely come to believe that it is an unrecognized heretical study in society.

It wasn’t that important in itself.

There is faith, but there is no thinking mind.

The flow of the river continues endlessly…

It’s just a matter of bubbles disappearing.

Can’t help but love it.

A development that won’t be recorded in history.

Maybe it would have been better if Mr. Baderini had gone to another area early on?

>>82

It is easy to say, but executing it in modern society would be far more difficult.

You could probably just live, but…

>>111

I don’t want to bet on the probability of randomly meeting someone who would let a wandering monk casually engage in astronomical research.

>>111

That’s why I was sending letters and making arrangements.

And then Novak arrived while we were preparing.

I have faith, I just haven’t learned biblical interpretation.

>>83

Having faith but not knowing the correct interpretation of the Bible is just like being an ordinary heretic, completely unrelated to the heliocentric theory.

It had turned into a big story in my mind.

Because you pinpointed the location, my daughter died in an explosion.

Ahh…

Someone who gave up thinking and was conveniently treated by bad people, ruining their own life.

Having more than enough combat power and an excellent lie detector is really a perfect fit for the situation.

>>90

It would have been nice if there was a beautiful police-like organization…

Because I have faith, I’ve actually fallen deeper into it.

Antoni is not a good person, but I think he is smart for judging with reason.

Well, it’s a kind of narrative trick, isn’t it?

No one said anything like that, so the viewers just assumed it was the rule for everyone.

It’s bad that I had good intuition and strength but didn’t think for myself and was overly serious.

Too perfect a candidate for the Inquisition…

>>94

On top of that, being forced to do it out of spite is just too much.

I remember the serious nature of the person who was properly executed.

>>96

It’s ironic that their proof of existence remains only in my memory because it’s not recorded in public records.

Well, we’ll probably talk about regret next week.

It’s interesting that someone like Antoni can completely refute the thread image.

You truly are not characters in history.

There aren’t many people who are willing to take on dirty jobs, and those who do have a high level of capability to carry them out.

Was there a recognition that it was a necessary evil?

I didn’t need it, but…

It’s cute how you fall silent when someone points out the truth because your thinking wasn’t enough, even though you’re intelligent…

What I want to see receiving the consequences is not this guy, but rather the former bishop, so I can’t feel completely satisfied.

The father and son, a pair of damn bastards, the Antoni family.

There aren’t many people who don’t feel pain in torturing other humans, even if they don’t know them at all…

I wonder if there’s something broken in people who want to torture others in reverse.

My father said it was a sturdy iron ladder, so I climbed it, but his son actually broke it apart because it was a rotten wooden one.

>>113

I heard that the ending of the impressions was pretty bad, so I was wondering what kind of outrageous thing was going to happen, but I was surprised when a very satisfying answer came.

It’s too scary that I wrote this story at 25 years old.

Antoni looks sharp, which is also unfair.

Compared to the worn-out Novak…

There were opinions saying that there wasn’t any repression in historical fact! And that is actually true.

However, this was merely a story about a single inquisitor who misunderstood a special situation in a certain region…

>>117

Is there anything! Is there no salvation at all!?

>>127

MI🧤

>>130

I’m glad I was able to shake hands with my daughter…

Everything is going to disappear from now on, hahaha.

Mr. Novak is so capable that even after he leaves, he is still looked after.

Antoni may look like a villain, but he’s actually quite clever.

It’s good to be able to make rational judgments.

>>122

A villain is a villain, after all.

It’s just a question of whether it will make money or not.

If I had properly tried to learn C religion, I might have noticed the church’s anomalies somewhere along the way.

But I didn’t do it.

I’ve heard that witch hunts were more likely to become extreme in rural areas.

>>128

That’s because they were laying the groundwork in Fry-kun’s village…

Being too convenient as a scapegoat for misplaced resentment was the end of their luck.

I thought they made the mercenaries into inquisitors because the job requires violence.

Is it simply because of the bishop’s personal grudge that the heliocentric theory was suppressed, that it couldn’t be entrusted to the clergy…?

It’s truly brutal that this outcome came about because Novak was so serious about his work attitude.

That’s not something that can be said now.

Being cynical about learning was really something.

I understand the importance of being able to read and write, but I have been short-sighted about how to make use of that ability.

>>135

My daughter is smart! I’m so happy! It’s sad that it just stopped there.

>>135

It’s ironic that even Badeni, someone who isn’t in a suitable position, is cynical about those who learn to read and write…

Well, it’s also an example of what that person calls a truly unsatisfactory outcome.

In a sense, it feels like being caught up in the rampage of the era’s powerful figures.

It is sad that it could not adapt to the changes of subsequent eras.

“I’ve completely erased your work records, and that’s just perfect handling.”

From Mr. Novak’s perspective, he probably worked hard because he wanted to give his beloved daughter a better life, even if just a little.

It must have been an incredibly good career change from being a mercenary to joining the guild at that time.

Even Anton, who is giving a sermon, is not aware until he is pointed out by Duraka just before that.

The heliocentric theory was considered heretical and would lead to being burned at the stake… Oh… is it surprisingly not so? It was a delicate issue to that extent.

>>143

Can you calmly think about what that young girl said to you at that age?

You’re quite flexible-minded.

I think the terrible ending will probably come in episodes 24 and 25.

>>144

Oh, is that so…?

Well, I’ll just wait in anticipation…

In terms of the church’s finances, Antoni was probably thinking more about it than Novak.

Isn’t it a barrier that has stood in the way of the protagonists for generations?

>>147

That’s right, isn’t it?

The reason this guy has remained unmatched for generations is simply because he is the only one who has not suppressed the heliocentric theory.

I believe that if my body is burned, I cannot go to heaven because I have faith.

It’s beautiful to see my daughter (a stranger who I think is my daughter) being burned right in front of me.

I wish I could have just stayed broken like that.

Just because we decided to crush the heliocentric theory… it led to something even worse…

You probably won’t easily understand the circumstances of the heresy trials at other churches.

>>152

It’s scary that your information gathering skills are only that good for being a mercenary.

>>161

A mercenary like you can’t easily probe into the dark side of the church’s inquisitions.

>>166

The judicial trends of the parish can be understood.

Well, it seems like a district where money is poured into the Inquisition.

>>177

That’s something a fallen mercenary Inquisitor would never be able to decipher.

The author has mentioned in interviews from the early days of serialization that, contrary to the later image, heliocentrism wasn’t persecuted as much as one might think, so it seems they had this plan from the beginning.

The persecution of the heliocentric theory was this severe! That’s one reaction, but another reaction is, isn’t it unrealistic to have such a history when terms and country names are being referenced?

I think it was a development that wasn’t suitable for a long-term serialization.

Suitable for movies.

>>154

Whether the ending in volume 8 feels long or short is a delicate balance.

In Antoni’s view, spending money unnecessarily, incurring pointless resentment from the rebellious forces, and being uprised against.

As for the matter of Yorenta, regardless of the means, opposing that bishop isn’t a wrong course of action.

It was definitely a position where I couldn’t afford to stop thinking.

In this era, we probably can’t share information properly.

>>158

Badeni and Yorenta are doing just fine…

>>165

Isn’t it just a few smart people who were able to do it?

>>165

Are you doing okay?

That’s also an exchange within a small area, right?

I wonder where such vague knowledge about someone who was killed for advocating the heliocentric theory was instilled in Japanese people.

>>159

The story of Galileo

>>160

It is said that Galileo was on close terms with the Pope.

Many people are unaware that the disciples remained in the church and achieved results.

>>162

Considering that Galileo’s life was not taken either.

After all, it doesn’t seem to be too repressed.

>>162

I’m not dead…

>>168

“I think there’s an image that despite losing in court and being forced to retract the heliocentric theory, the heliocentric theory is still correct! and was executed.”

Like Rafa.

If the profit story wasn’t quite right, it was like, “Yeah, that’s too delicate, let’s just kill the outlier.”

It’s pitiful for the colleagues and new employees who were receiving guidance and instructions from Novak.

Galileo himself is not at fault!

…No, this guy is pretty bad.

The Inquisition only has meaning if it converts people and demonstrates the authority of God and the Church…

The image from the phrase “And yet, the Earth keeps turning…”

>>174

I’m reflecting on it.

…Tch.

Still, the phrase “the Earth keeps spinning” is known.

Wait, wasn’t Galileo sentenced to death for advocating the heliocentric theory!?

Galileo got a bit caught up in the chaos and was also embroiled in the power struggle with the church.

Galileo didn’t go so far as to be executed, you know.

Well, the torture devices that come out are from the 17th century and later.

People who understand history are depicting it as entertainment, right?

From the beginning, it uses C characters as phonetic symbols and there is an explanation of fiction.

Because this side is more interesting, right? It takes precedence.

I wonder why Japanese people like the episode “Yet the Earth Moves” so much…

>>182

Even though it’s a consolation for losing, it has a beauty to it.

>>182

I feel something like Samurai Spirits… ?

The former bishop was just a jerk who twisted his complex from his student days…

Even if Itagaki dies

and so on

Even so, the Earth keeps spinning.

and so on

When there are impressive phrases, it can’t be helped.

>>186

Generally, it’s something that feels different when you actually touch the records compared to what was later embellished by later generations!

Galileo was scolded in a way that suggests he shouldn’t present his ideas as if they were truths.

Sharing information across districts is impossible.

It is not widely known that Galileo was dismissed when he said, “The observational data does not match the calculations, does it?”

Kepler: “The calculations worked out for an elliptical orbit, not a circular one.”

The person above said it’s no good, so it’s heretical.

Heresy shall be tortured and executed (I didn’t really say that).

The consequences of mindlessly continuing to work seriously have finally caught up with me.

The decline of church authority was appropriately timed with firearms, the compass, and the printing press, wasn’t it?

It would have been better if I could have had more doubts about the association when my daughter was killed.

>>198

Perhaps the damage to my mental state from having doubts was too great.

I owe a debt of gratitude to the position given to me by someone who was once a mercenary.

Rather, there is a fabulously fitting ending prepared as the culmination of the entire work.

Just before that…

What is the last few episodes before the end… that makes you go, “What is happening?” That’s what makes it good.
