Mink Street, the church.
Dis was putting his things away. He had finished his work for the day.
In truth, running even the smallest church was a complicated affair, involving all sorts of considerations beyond professional competence.
After all, it was not as though each hill had only one church. This street had one, and the next might have one too. Believers were the "customers," and churches faced fierce competition as well.
But Dis did not particularly care about any of that. He was responsible only for his own work. Once it was done, he went home, never taking part in extra activities for the church's development.

The response first fully commended Dis's keen perception and foresight in the matter, praising his devotion to duty and care in his work;
It then classified the incident as an "invasion" of Rojia City by outside Otherworldly Demon forces, which had even sought to use Rojia City as an opening to overthrow the Order God Church's entire system in Ruilan;
Finally, it commended Dis for eliminating the threat with decisive force and once again invited him to take up a post at the Ruilan Regional Administration Office.

"Oh."
Dis acknowledged him;
