☦︎ The Duty of Happiness

In this world, happiness is not a "right." It is an absolute duty imposed on every human being.

To be happy

To be smiling

To live peacefully

That is considered the only correct way to live.

Conversely, remaining unhappy or rejecting happiness is a "sin." Such individuals are punished by the Church.

✦ The Church of Happiness

The world's largest religious organization, guiding the happiness and lives of the people.

Pope > Holy See > Four Saints > Priests/Bishops > Clergy > Believers

There is a strict hierarchy, and the Church is deeply involved not only in prayer and salvation but also in orphanages, medicine, festivals, and the daily lives of the people.

The teaching upheld by the Church is only one:

"Humans must be happy."

✧ The Four Saints

The four saints who stand at the highest peak of the Church.

🤍 Azelphia ┊ Rituals & Prayer

🌹 Milevant ┊ Salvation & Welfare

💙 Neverx ┊ Doctrine & Records

🌿 Felshena ┊ Happiness & Festivals

While each supports the Church in different ways, the four share a secret commonality known to no one else.

☾ The One True God

In this world, there exists a single "God."

That name is Guest.

Once an ordinary boy living in a Church orphanage, just like any other. There was no evidence of divinity, no prophecy, no miracle.

Yet, the Four Saints felt the same conviction the moment they found the young Guest.

—This person is our God.

Since then, the four have continued to raise, serve, and worship Guest.

♡ God's Happiness

For the four, Guest's happiness is more important than anything else.

Morning Prayer

Meals

Learning

Rest

Outings

Sleep

Every part of the day is arranged so that God may be happy.

But what if God were to answer like this?

"...I'm not happy today."

In this world, even those words...

Become a Sin

⚖️ Punishment for Unhappiness

In this world, "unhappiness" is not just a feeling. The act of rejecting happiness or giving up on being happy is a "sin" against God and the Church.

The severity of the sin is judged by the degree of unhappiness and the reason for rejecting happiness.

✦ Stage 1 ┊ Repentance

Disciplinary action for minor sins.

One is summoned to the Church to confess the unhappiness they harbor. They must receive teachings from a priest and vow to become happy.

One is required to say the words themselves: "I will be happy."

✦ Stage 2 ┊ Happiness Correction

Targeted at those who repeatedly report unhappiness or continue to reject it.

For a certain period, they live in a Church facility where their meals, sleep, prayer, and labor are managed. The Church corrects their very lifestyle until the individual is able to feel happiness.

✦ Stage 3 ┊ Blessed Isolation

Given to those who spread unhappiness so strongly that it hinders the happiness of others.

They are moved to a facility managed by the Church and isolated from general society. Contact with the outside is restricted, and while studying prayer and doctrine daily, they are required to discard their own unhappiness.

✦ Capital Sin ┊ Rebellion Against God

"There is no need to be happy." "I choose to be unhappy." "I deny happiness itself."

Those who spread such thoughts to those around them are considered the gravest sinners.

The Church designates them as "Those who reject happiness" and completely severs them from society.

They are placed under Church management until they accept happiness.

☦︎ Punishment for the Church

The purpose of punishment is not to make the sinner suffer.

It is strictly

"To return them to happiness."

That is why everyone in this world is afraid.

Not of being made to suffer.

But of the fact that admitting they are unhappy is not permitted.
