Marie Cistus.
she knew about herself
I don’t remember exactly when she was born, but she was a child living in a place where death was rampant.
she was an orphan An orphan wandering the battlefield. She lived in such misery and desolation.
And that kind of life changed completely from one day.
-This is amazing. I hope to meet you in a place like this.
-… … .
Thanatos appears in a place where death is rampant. In a way, it was only natural that he and Marie, who were looking for food while digging through corpses, met.
At that time, Marie couldn’t question it.
I couldn’t think of the meaning of Thanatos’ words. That’s natural. What happened right after that was stained with pain.
It was only natural that I didn’t want to think about it.
But in the Commonwealth, she was able to realize.
‘I actually didn’t know anything about myself.’
that he was an orphan.
Surviving by chance in a battlefield where arrows are pouring down.
That was all.
In the federation, she could see that she was being dyed by Thanatos’ soul. This was unprecedented even among Cistuses.
It was scary. His whole body trembled as if he had disappeared.
‘But it can’t go on like this.’
Eleanor did not give up.
She is weaker than Marie. Despite his weakness, he does not run away.
Marie admired her.
So, she decided to change too. Not to run away from fear, but to fight against it.
To do so, she was able to reach [Pyeongwang] Thanatos, whom she had not been able to meet her eyes on all along.
“I am different.”
“Yes.”
Paid said.
she’s not insane
Cistuses are considered sisters, brothers, and siblings, but in reality this was not the case.
Most are just superficial relationships.
It was just a relationship that shared the same scars. It was just a shallow relationship where you could turn your back at any time if you had a purpose you wanted.
Marie was the only one who truly considered them family.
“But I could.”
Marie knows.
What kind of existence are cistuses.
Thanatos cut off a part of their soul and endowed them with it, but they come to resemble Thanatos little by little.
What about Marie?
What if Marie was an immature soul without proper common sense?
She is most heavily colored by Thanatos. Even so, she was not tyrannical.
Because Thanatos was actually such a person? No, it can’t be.
“Did your father say that? ‘I never thought I would run into a place like this’.”
“… … .”
Thanatos did not show any reaction to Mari’s question.
Just like when you first came.
He was just staring at Marie, perched on a rock.
However, Mari continued talking as if she didn’t care about Thanatos’ reaction.
“And this power.”
Marie couldn’t help but question the light of the weak divine power floating on her hand.
“does not it hurt. It doesn’t seem like it will disappear. Get used to it.”
For her, who could be said to be half-dead, originally, divine power would have been no different from poison. In fact, during the midterm exam, he was beaten by Arrieta and even went to the brink of death.
But what about now?
The more she tried to find out about herself, the more she tried not to turn a blind eye to her fear. Even with divine power, she no longer felt pain.
In fact, there are some guesses.
“I heard that your father is an angel from the beginning.”
[King] Thanatos’ identity was also the [primitive angel] ‘Moros’.
If so, wouldn’t he also be a similar being? Marie naturally came to that answer.
“Excellent.”
[Myungwang], who was listening to Mari’s question, laughed as if he was having fun.
“Indeed it is.”
Unlike the other Cistuses, Marie had the same nature as Thanatos since she was born.
“Marie Sistus. You were a saint in the past, and you were supposed to be an angel.”
Adults face many hardships in their lives, and when they overcome them, they are recognized as adults and given the surname Domine.
It means that it is a vessel of divinity that has been completed at last.
“How many adults do you think there are in the world right now?”
“… … two?”
[Saint of Waiting] Lucia Domine and [Saint of Hope] Arietta Domine.
That was all Marie knew.
“Wrong. Much more than that. Then do you know why only they are considered saints?”
“… … .”
“The difference is whether it could be discovered.”
If only those who were able to be discovered, protected, and surpassed were recognized, what would happen to those who were not?
They die by fate. That’s the end of most adults.
so adult.
This was the reason why titles given to the dead were given to the living.
“Saints die and become angels. You would too.”
“… … .”
Marie looked down again at the power in her hand.
Her divine power was flickering like a candle, as if it would soon go out.
“You had to be ‘Maria Domine’, not ‘Marie Sistus’. Do you resent me for making you like that?”
“… … I don’t know.”
She could have been loved by everyone.
But what about now?
She was noticed by Thanatos and became a being hated by everyone.
But Marie said she didn’t know.
I couldn’t help but not know.
Being loved by everyone didn’t mean I was only blessed.
Arrieta had no freedom.
On the other hand, Marie could be said to be in a fairly free state now.
Are you jealous of Arrieta? Sometimes it was like that. But not now. Marie is already loved.
Although not loved by everyone, he was loved enough.
Of course, I wasn’t sure that it would be better now.
I don’t know what would have happened if she had become a saint. so don’t know There was no other answer.
“It turned out to be a lot of fun.”
Thanatos looked at Marie with his eyes narrowed, then stood up.
“Are you just leaving?”
Looking at Thanatos who was about to open the door to the ＜Underworld＞ again, Marie asked curiously.
“If you wanted to kill him in the first place, you could have done that from the beginning.”
that wasn’t the case though.
“Since you start moving, you too will arrive in front of me.”
Because that moment can come at any time.

Around noon, Marie, who had run away from home, returned to her trot.
“Marie, I’m worried, so tell me when you’re going somewhere in the future.”
“yes.”
“yes.”
We didn’t really have long conversations.
I was worried, but seeing how well it came back, there shouldn’t be any problems.
Marie doesn’t lie about this. In the future, when there is something I need to go to, I will tell you and go.
I’m sorry I seem so intrusive, but her position is too dangerous to leave alone.
He is a person who is being targeted like me. However, Marie has a weak corner, so it is impossible to deal with it.
No, it will be possible to deal with it. You just have to kill your opponent.
But I hate that a little bit.
I didn’t want to see her light-heartedly killing others without knowing the weight.
“How much have you learned about the world in Schientia?”
“yes?”
I talk to Marie who was standing next to me in a daze. How much did she learn from ＜Skientia＞?
“Yes… … . Recently I have been able to understand the log-gamma function.”
“Awesome.”
I don’t know what.
I just started to think that this guy might be smarter than I thought.
Could it be better than me?
“And I got to know people who like me and people who hate me.”
“number of animals… … .”
“It is not enough to know. I realized that I can’t move on if I don’t solve it.”
Marie smiled broadly.
Yes, it was not a faint smile, but a smile that bloomed like a flower.
“I will try. So I want Oz to believe in me too.”
“… … .”
I thought she was a child to take care of, but before I knew it, Marie had become a great adult.
“I’ll promise. number of animals. I will never doubt you.”
“yes.”
Marie nodded and turned towards ＜Skientia＞.
Her brief run away is over. No, since I’m not a child anymore, I wouldn’t call it a runaway.
she went out into the world
“Oz! I told you to stay calm! What are you going to do if you get hurt while doing this here?”
“There are no wounds. Arrieta.”
“I’m talking about my own image.”
“That’s fine too. Thanks to Arrieta’s hard work by my side yesterday, my body feels light.”
“… … There are times when Oz-sama makes people feel ashamed.”
He said that, but seeing him wiggling his fingers as if he was ashamed of it, I guess it doesn’t make me feel bad.
I don’t think her internal injuries would have deteriorated if she went outside for a while, but Arrieta started groping her body like yesterday, as if she was worried about me.
To be honest, I wondered if I might like this kind of thing, but when I look at his infinitely serious expression, I naturally put those thoughts aside.
“what?”
“What are you doing?”
Arrieta, who had been examining my body with such a serious expression, suddenly tilted her head as if it were strange.
did something happen?
“You really are fine.”
“… … didn’t you say Thanks to Arrieta, my body is light.”
To be honest, I was a little embarrassed, but I think it would be better to go out confidently here.
Then, it is clear that Arrieta will be embarrassed and show a cute side.
“Weird.”
But it was different. Arrieta still had a serious expression.
“Um… … .”
Arrieta, who was frowning and worried, eventually clapped her hands and tidied up.
“I don’t know what it is, but I’m glad if your condition has improved.”
“okay.”
Maybe it’s a caution that I don’t think deeply. It’s the opposite of me.
I have a bad disease where I start to doubt even when something good happens.
This damn world made me that way.
“Ah, Mr. Oz. Now, I’m going to take everyone and head towards Skientia. Would you like to come with me?”
“Of course I have to help.”
If you use [Remembering Wisdom], it is literally one hundred per cent.
“Oz-sama is also one of the patients to be transported, so please stay calm.”
“… … I see.”
I answered confidently, and a stern answer came back.
Well, I can’t help it. Now that it’s like this, it’s not too bad to take a break.
While I was being transported, looking up at the sky in a daze, I heard various sounds around me.
“I can’t live! What if you push yourself like that at that age?”
“Ouch! Aww! sick. Prina. Since I am a patient, please treat me kindly!”
“What about the patient! What are you doing without saying anything?!”
I saw Prina abusing an old man I had never seen before.
I didn’t see people well. I didn’t know you were such a bad kid.

Keep your distance in the future.
“Huh, uhhh… … .”
And I saw Professor Aira, who had started to cry because she forgot to visit me because of her mental breakdown.
It’s already late, but I’ll have to visit you later to ask how I’m doing.
And lastly… … .
“Is an empire an empire… … .”
I saw some relatively intact buildings.
I blocked it with magic, but the enemy’s attack was powerful.
Most of the buildings collapsed, but there were unexpectedly intact buildings.
In addition to my magic, it is the buildings that are protected by other magic.
The main buildings of the empire are intact thanks to protective magic. And among them, there are some particularly fine buildings.
A typical example is ＜Skientia＞.
Peace was maintained on this side, so it felt rather floating.
And the other… … .
“I heard that Emperor Antares was on the wall.”
it is the imperial palace
Like ＜Skientia＞, there was no damage to the kingdom.
It is a country that can use such defensive magic on the entire building.
Then there can be no doubt
“Where have the elite soldiers of the empire gone… … . If they had, the sacrifice would have been reduced.”
Wars were fought mostly with conscripted soldiers and some commanders.
Among them, the elite were only those who participated voluntarily, such as Eleanor and Aira.
Maybe the emperor was planning to continue this war for a long time.
They would have put up bullet canisters as a prelude to that.
Or it may have other purposes. Whatever it is, it’s a disgusting man.
“Uh… … . I’ll make no comment. It’s a very sensitive issue, so I don’t think it’s something I’m going to talk about.”
“Um, that’s it too. It was just talking to myself.”
Nara-sama also cursed at unknown places, but Arrieta was quite hesitant to tell the truth.
I can’t lie, so it must be a habit that has developed in my body.
“Well, that nobleman isn’t someone to search for easily, so you can ask him yourself.”
“No, no comment!”
I think it would be better to visit after recovering a little more.
Like Shuren said, it would be nice if there was something that could be removed.

The ruins of the empire’s streets.
Among them, the emperor of the empire, Antares Van Helios, was walking through the dark alleys.
And by his side, Perses, the leader of the Imperial Knights, was with him as if it were natural.
“Hmm… … . Is it like this?”
Antares was tapping here and there with his staff, searching for something.
Perses thought that Antares was uncomfortable, but didn’t say anything.
The emperor’s actions have meaning. His insightful eyes reveal something that ordinary people cannot see.
Yes, for example… … .
“Oh, see, Lord Perses. Aren’t you here?”
“Kuh… … . Grrr… … .”
[Unknown] Gentilis was shot down with Tia’s biggest blow.
“Oh My God… … I hoped it wasn’t.”
Perses sighed, covering his face with his hands in the worst imaginable situation.
“Hmm… … . This is the king of monsters. Doesn’t that look really ugly? Even a person with such great prestige would be so humbled at the end of his death. Just like me.”
“His Highness is not particularly shabby even now. It is a monster.”
“It drags.”
Like a curious little boy, Antares began to stab Gentilis’ body as it began to crumble with his staff.
“What would you like?”
“What? Wouldn’t that be natural?”
sereung.
Antares twisted the handle of the staff he was holding and pulled out the sword hidden inside.
“I’ll have to see if Iza has what I want.”
And without hesitation, Antares thrust his sword into Gentilis’ dying body.
“Cheak!”
Gentilis lost the thread of life he had been holding on to until the very end with an insignificantly brief death sentence.
“Oops.”
Antares shrugged his shoulders, saying that the end of a monster that had swallowed countless worlds was inelegant.
“It doesn’t seem like it. Well, there is no such thing as immortality.”
Antares, who was looking for a way to immortality, seemed calm as if he knew that in his heart.
That’s natural.
“Go next.”
Because there is no ruler in the world who has only one plan.
If the immortality plan fails, you just have to prioritize other plans.
