Tell Shiryoku she has a place on your earth! (15 Faith)

You called for everyone's attention, then addressed the elephant in the room. This guy was the worst. When he'd shown his true colors just now, he'd proven that he was every bit the monster Keiko thought gods were. You were sick of being the only decent god in any room that you entered into... Didn't the gods have any shame!? You pointed your finger at Bungen and the rest of the arena in an equal measure of accusation. To think that everyone was just going to click their glasses together in celebration and watch while Shiryoku suffered for the sake of this scumbag!

"Yes... You see now! You see the fault of every god!" Keiko applauded from the floor, while Shiryoku watched in shock.

Bungen grit his teeth, sinking into his chair, not in shame, but in smoldering anger. "Mister Katappashikara, you honestly think you're better than every god here? You're participating here too, you know. You're also the one who reduced Miss Zai to this embarrassing state{if Keiko's Tier < 3}, not to mention your own priestess, standing there in scraps{endif}. Don't you think you're being pretty high and mighty?" he questioned.

You told him it's not about that. Wasn't there some place for dignity in all of this? How messed up did a god have to be to throw away a priestess after she'd fought as hard for him as Shiryoku had for Bungen? If the gods weren't going to come to their senses and end this fucked up Kami Kurabe tournament, couldn't they at least appreciate the priestesses fighting for them?!

"Ha! I appreciated Miss Zai a lot more when she was my infallible secretary, filling orders with a full raiment of useful priestess gear. What am I supposed to appreciate now, her arts and crafts with leaves?!" Bungen spat; you could see his priestess shaking with embarrassment on the ground floor.

You turned your attention to the arena and addressed that priestess. You told her that you knew a world where elves still lived undiscovered, where they probably were still embracing the old ways that mankind hadn't ever seen. There wouldn't be any cash, any orders, any packages, any logistics systems... she might find it hard to live there, but she could finally live as an elf again. You asked her if she would like that.

"Yes... I... I want to get away from this awful boss... so badly..." she sobbed, pawing at her teary purple eyes with the undersides of her palms pathetically.

"Wait... I was a little hasty earlier. The truth is, there is still a lot of important work to be done," Bungen coughed, starting to speak more quickly with building anxiety. "Please put in your two week notice and in that time, we'll transition you out of the company and train your replacement-"

"No! Immediately! I want to leave immediately!" the elf protested, ripping off her leaves and casting them down, revealing her pretty pink nipples and pussy without a second thought. "I'm walking out! I resign! Good luck with whoever my replacement ends up being!"

"Miss Zaaaai! Your 401k! I'm going to drain your 401k if you don't go through proper proceduuuuures!" Bungen raved, spittle now flying from his mouth as he started **** himself with his own tie in anger. When Zai said she didn't care about her 401k and just wanted her forest, that seemed to break him. He slumped down in his seat, seeming to have passed out from asphyxiation. Arena medics ran into check on him as you celebrated your victory.

Now all that was left to do was give Shiryoku the brand. The bout wasn't complete without it.
