Confession-1
There are many hidden ways to prayer.
In the past, a saint had died, and the corrupt priests who had anxieties about their divine powers created false divine magic.
The divinity of pagans.
It is an extra-terrestrial prayer technique that involves making burnt offerings from living sacrifices, or teaching and brainwashing only prayers from birth.
Therefore, after the religious integration and reformation, that kind of sacred art disappeared. That’s why it’s no different from black magic.
However, it was just ‘not used’, and it did not mean that the existence itself ceased to exist.
– I swear
I have no belief in God. rather resentful. I hate all omnipotent and irresponsible beings.
– I don’t kill myself.
But it needs divine power. To use this wretched body in any meaningful way.
To kill the devil even a little bit more.
– In return, you will be able to strengthen your body and use your divinity.

“…that’s ridiculous… that…”
Lumine was denying the truth of those words with a trembling expression. It wasn’t just because it was a sin. As a saint, who knew the history of the divine, that was because he knew what action meant.
“That’s right… using that method is clearly apostasy. Even if it’s you.”
As a result, Leo was also rejected from the temple. No matter how well-reasoned, even if he only sacrificed himself, both in terms of doctrine and superficially, the temple could not acknowledge Leo’s existence.
“…Actually, I still don’t know what I saw in the prophecy. Even just looking at it now, I can’t feel the gold or divine powers in Leo.”
But the facts were contradictory. Once the gold is engraved, it cannot be removed by any means.
So it was banned.
But for Leo, there was no prohibition anywhere.
Obviously, if gold was engraved on it, there would definitely be stigmas left on it.
“…but it’s obviously… a past that exists. Leo knows that.”
The concept of regression was not explained to Arya. Therefore, it was not possible to clearly define the past that looked like the future.
On the other hand, Lumine and Ain had no choice but to explain the return because of the wise men who were ghosts.
“…that’s my father’s sashimi…”
＜Mr. Ain.＞
Lumine looked at Ain and shook her head. Saying more than this was like interfering with the two of them at will.
The clues about the return were given at will by the Prophet. Even that action was seen as omnipotent and absurd in Lumine’s eyes.
“…Then what would you like to do, Ariaspil-sama?”
“…I don’t know. I don’t think I deserve anything…”
There was no energy in Ariaspil’s eyes. Hatred of himself was mixed, and he couldn’t even look at his face with guilt and pity for Leonardo.
nevertheless,
“…Leo is so… I like it, I like it… I can’t stand it…”
That man was so lovely. I loved it so much I couldn’t stand it. Thank you and thank you for thinking only of yourself and devoting yourself.
And… like this… I hate myself so much… I…”
So I was very sorry. I was disgusted with myself for not knowing anything and laughing. He hated himself for not knowing Leo’s suffering.
I couldn’t forgive.
The self that Leo had seen and the self he is now.
Tears welled up on his face. I wanted to cry, but I couldn’t cry. But the tears came out without hesitation.
It’s the love you’ve recited, because you have the same heart…
“…Ariaspil Reinhardt.”
At that moment, Lumine opened her mouth.
Not just a helper who knows Leo’s return,
“Don’t be foolish.”
As an adult assisting the warrior, prepare the horse.
“…Yes…?”
Arya, who was crying, looked at Lumine again. I wasn’t expecting consolation. I thought it was okay to sell.
But it was the first time I had seen Lumine speak so coldly. Arya was really surprised when she saw it for the first time.
Thanks to this, I was able to get out of the whirlwind of hopeless emotions for a while.
“I know this is sad. But it is unacceptable as an adult to have compassion for that alone.”
It is not the role of mere rhetoric about the position of a priest in the next few words.
“I don’t know for what purpose or with what kind of attitude Knight Leo is by your side.”
A guide who sometimes leads the Lamb who is going the wrong way to the right place, and makes him think carefully.
“But at least I don’t think Knight Leo would want you to do this.”
And seekers who believe in God and evangelize faith in order to understand others.
“Now you just want to hate yourself. I would like to feel a little less guilty through that act.”
Arya was silent for a moment at this point. But he soon opened his mouth.
“…but…you don’t know…we don’t know that we are in such a comfortable place…we are without regrets…”
That’s correct, and it’s not.
“Right. Only Knight Leo knows.”
True, but not objective.
“Then why don’t you ask?”
There is a reason to escape.
“You haven’t told each other how you feel and what you think yet, have you?”
Lumine also had an eye for a priest. Judging by the cold atmosphere, the two would not have spoken a few words, let alone brought up a conversation about the regression.
“…but…when I saw this…”
“You haven’t seen everything. That’s not what you know.”
Seeing and knowing are two different things.
It was the same for Leo, and so was her.
“Why aren’t you talking? We need to communicate with each other so that there is room for understanding or misunderstanding.”
Lumine’s story is a theory, and also a story that touches the true feelings that Arya is hiding.
“…However…”
Arya soon bursts into tears again.
“…I’m so scared… Maybe I’m resentful of what I did before the return… I keep thinking about it…”
“It is not.”
“Absolutely not.”
It was a thought that could be done, but Ain and Lumine, who knew the inside story, cut the word off with a single knife.
I don’t need any detailed explanations, given that I’ve jumped over several decades and returned to this time zone.

“Hero, can you really do it here? It’s welcome from our church’s point of view, but…”
The bride was speechless in glorious embarrassment. It was because the giants in this field contacted him within one day.
Although she was a doctrinal and moral priest, when she thought that she had no position in the temple, a useless old woman came to her.
Of course, Lumine recommended this church because he was sure that this priest was a faithful and not greedy person for a religious position, but the priest did not know this.
“…Yes, I want to find an answer for myself. Could it be… a lung?”
Arya looked at the bride with serious and energetic eyes. Learning about Leo’s past brought life to the empty eyes that had lost their vitality.
As Lumine gave me advice, now is not the time to just be sad and compassionate.
“no! It’s not like that…! Even though the hero was only for one day, I wanted to know how…
To be honest, the priest did not even know that the hero had received a revelation until a few days ago. It has not yet been fully announced to the public, and I have only heard stories from this church.
It’s been less than a month since Arya returned to her family from the temple in the first place.
“…I want to know what…sin is.”
Arya looked at the bride with sincere eyes.
Lumine made a proposal to Arya.
-Since you still have spare time, how about going to the confessional?
-…Are you receiving the sacrament of confession? However…
-no. You are trying to confession yourself.”
Lumine invited Arya to take on the role of asking for the Sacrament of Confession. The priest’s job is to reveal the weight of sins by hearing confession and give them an opportunity to repent.
It was difficult to say that Ariaspil was a professional priest of light, but if he was a warrior who was nothing more than an embodiment of light, he had the qualifications to confess.
“…okay. It will not be easy.”

Just as knowing the truth about sin, the sacrament of confession was not easy.
One of the things that priests and priests avoid the most was the sacrament of confession.
Some sinners who come to confession repent, but usually they rationalize from their own point of view.
The bride thought about giving such an unpleasant thing for a while.
And then he opened his mouth.
“But, it’s important to know that.”
The bride smiled happily and led Arya to the confessional. After walking a few steps inside the narrow church, a small room like a locker with three doors caught my eye.
“The confession can be done while sitting in the middle. Believers have not yet arrived, so you can prepare slowly, and as long as you follow the norms of the Sacrament of Confession, there will be no problem.”
Ariaspil knew this too. Not only the method of confession, but also all words and sins that came out of the sacrament of confession were obliged to remain silent.
“Oh, and I will keep it a secret from people that the hero has come. It can be difficult to confess your sins.”
That was correct. If the hero listened to his confession, it was clear that there would be some believers who should be terrified.
“All right.”
Ariaspil made up his mind and entered the center of confession. After a few hours passed, Arya’s expression gradually collapsed and distorted.

“…are you okay? A warrior?”
Arya was very empty, and on the other hand, she was eating the sandwich the bride gave her for a late lunch.
“…ah…yes…”
In fact, in the eyes of the bride, it seemed a bit burdensome to see that food was just put in her mouth to supplement nutrition.
“…do you think people are selfish?”
“…!”
At those words, Arya was terrified, and opened her mouth from the sandwich she was eating. In fact, Arya was also feeling annoyed at having lunch at 3:40 pm while listening to lamentations under the guise of the sacrament of confession, and forgiving her sins.
“…Honestly, I don’t think that’s quite right.”
People selfishly point out their mistakes. As if pleading for their sins.
In particular, he did not want to forgive or listen to acts of adultery or adultery.
Speaking as if there was some kind of circumstance or romance in it, listening was just about the role.
“It is not unreasonable to think that way. On the contrary, it is surprising that they endured like this compared to young priests.”
“…but… I don’t know. After all, isn’t he trying to relieve his guilt…”
“That is not wrong either. Eliminating the anxiety of sin is one of the reasons.”
But the bride was less reluctant to it.
“However, in order for a person to truly face sin, he also needs to relieve his sense of guilt. Guilt and guilt are similar, but clearly different realms.”
“…”
Arya thought for a moment.
Perhaps this is what Lumine was trying to show, so I organized my thoughts in my mind.
Sometimes, there are some things that can be forgiven only if the burden of the heart is relieved.
“…I’ll try again. Father.”
“I’m glad you got the energy. May God’s grace be with you.”
Saying that, Arya finished her late lunch and went back to the confessional. Fortunately, there was no queue yet.
and soon.
profit
The door opened and closed.
“…I… have committed a very serious sin. Father.”
It was a very familiar voice. A voice that seemed to have been heard often, yet comfortable, rang first. But before that, the ceremonial statement…
“…I… even though I was selected as a knight by a certain knight’s family as a lowly status…
…Aria changed her voice with an auror for a moment to the very familiar content. It was an imitation of the technique he had learned from Leo.
“…can you tell me the name of that family?”
After hesitating for a moment, someone who didn’t know who it really was answered.
“…the Reinhardt family.”
At that one word, Arya felt the sin of curiosity and desire collide very strongly.
