[Those who challenge divinity] are said to heal wounds, but they cannot solve diseases and curses.
Justitia, who knew this fact from firsthand experience, moved me to the infirmary without fuss.
It was an ironic sight to see him lift up an adult man while crying.
“I can’t see any wounds, but since you said you were stabbed, I’ll give you a tetanus shot.”
“Ah, yes. thank you.”
“… … Anyway, what the hell are you doing to get stabbed? who’s the culprit? Did you catch it?”
Justinia, who had been calm all along, cautiously raised her hand at those strange words.
“I am the culprit… … .”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah, I had a bit of a dental issue, so that’s how things turned out.”
“Yeah… … ?”
The doctor’s face, which had been incomprehensible for a while, gradually turned red.
“Uh, how students and professors!”
“Is there anything wrong?”
“do not have!”
doesn’t exist?
You seem to be a surprisingly open person.
“Oz, you said your wounds have healed, but stay calm today.”
“Ah, yes. sister.”
“sister?! Is that a title like that? Oh my gosh, be a man in the world!”
“… … ?”
Looking at the doctor fixing the glasses while walking away from Awa, I start to get anxious.
Something is wrong with this guy.
This kind of person must be the one who spreads rumors around the neighborhood.
“Ahahahaha… … . Then, get some rest.”
Justitia must have felt that too, so she took the doctor out as if dragging her. It feels like the storm has passed.
afraid of the future
What kind of rumors are spreading around ＜Skientia＞ now?
I lay down right on the bed feeling that eerie sensation.
It would be nice to sleep like this, but… … .
“Eleanor.”
“Yes, Master.”
“… … .”
I called just in case, and Eleanor really jumped out.
She wears a hood over her head. I feel sorry that I can’t see her pretty hair.
By the way, this guy can’t be pretending to be hurt and secretly stalking me, right?
No, anyway, that wouldn’t be the case. There’s no way she could have gone that far because of her self-loathing.
“Since when have you been there?”
“Ever since Youth unnie ran out of the leading department with a knife.”
“Ah, um… … . yes.”
Then you must have seen it all.
Thinking so makes my face warm. When I think about what I said, I couldn’t be more ashamed of it.
“I’m glad you’re safe.”
“yes.”
“I think she was testing the master. Unlike me, she has a mature side.”
“… … I know.”
I know that Justitia has taken on the hard work for me, even if she doesn’t have to tell me.
If you really wanted to love only yourself, wouldn’t the problem have been solved so simply? She just let me know that this could have happened.
And because I gave that answer a little violently, she wept.
I’m sorry.
“What have you been doing for two days?”
I ask the Kim who remembered.
Isn’t this the first time I’ve run into Eleanor since we met that night?
It would be nice if you were doing well.
“Training, sleeping, watching teachers, things like that.”
“Aren’t you playing?”
“I don’t feel that way.”
“You are also desolate.”
“Everyone is busy, what can I do? Marie is still in the leadership department, and Lucia is wandering around to see if the problems within the empire have not been completely resolved. which… … .”
Eleanor bowed her head.
His face was hard to see because of the hood and hair, but he could tell that it was stained red.
“With Baekyang, I’m busy all day with him, the teacher… … .”
“Did you see it?”
“… … I wasn’t really looking at it, but it was in the room next door.”
“Oh, well. Indeed.”
I didn’t think of that. It’s been like that all day, so it’s no surprise if someone comes home.
I don’t know if it was Baekyang’s miss, or if Eleanor’s key didn’t make her think that far.
I think I did something very sorry.
“Um, so… … .”
Not knowing what to say, I stretched out my hand, and Eleanor flinched and distanced herself.
I’m surprised Whether it was jealousy or self-help, I thought they would react that way, but I never expected to be ashamed… … .
“I-I love Master. Don’t go that far yet, you need to prepare your mind?”
I thought Eleanor was from the same genus as Baekyang, but unexpectedly, it seems closer to Lucia in this aspect.
She glances at me, shrinking her body to the extent that every single action of mine exaggerates.
I feel like a criminal.
“What the hell do you think of me?”
really hurt
I put people’s hearts first.
If it wasn’t for that, it would have been impossible to hold on until now.
“Ha, but even though Yang Baek begged for a little rest, Master didn’t rest at all?!”
“It’s not?”
It seems like something like that happened, but it’s not in my memory.
It must have been that Eleanor was hearing hallucinations from stress.
Yes, I have always been a gentleman.
“uh… … . Oh, wasn’t it? So what? My, am I weird?”
Eleanor gibberish with a shocked expression. Lately, I felt uncomfortable seeing through my lies, but I feel relieved when I see her.
As expected, if I go out confidently, no one will doubt me.
Eleanor’s face grew redder and then she lowered her head.
“I just didn’t talk about it… … .”
“OK.”
Perhaps in her head, this incident was mistaken for herself.
And remembering the reason for that illusion, he must have wanted to die.
It’s unfortunate.
“Your Majesty the King of Darkness, would you like a moment?”
Then, along with a knocking sound, Olivia’s voice was heard.
Along with him, Eleanor, who was blushing, disappeared as if she was melting into thin air. He saw the gap and ran away.
“I kicked him out and he came back. It’s very arbitrary. Olivia Blue.”
“I’m glad you’re okay.”
“You are not listening to my answer.”
Is it because you do a lot of hard work?
Now I can’t even blink an eye.
It’s unfortunate.
“What is it?”
“We have figured out how Marie was able to use divine power.”
It was a two-day investigation.
Still, this was over quickly.
“Come in at once.”
“No, why don’t you come to the leadership team and talk about this. Because the saintess is waiting for you too.”
“I am a patient first. By the way, is your education over now? You’ve been working hard to prevent me from meeting you.”
I know the circumstances, but that’s it.
I wonder what it would be like to separate lovers who have just confirmed their feelings for each other in just one day.
Not even Romeo and Juliet. What… … . The relationship between the two of us is much more serious than the two of us.
“… … Now is not the time to talk about education.”
“What happened?”
“Let’s go at once.”
Follow Olivia Blue and move towards the lead building.
Seeing that no members of the leadership team were seen around while moving, it seemed that they had been handed over in advance.
Anxiety creeps up.
The fact that I want to hide by going this far, and the fact that I need to let me know.
Thinking like that makes me sick to my stomach.
“Ah, Mr. Oz.”
The building of the leadership department where there is almost no sign of people arriving like that.
There were only Mari and Arietta, including some of the Holy Knights belonging to the [Shield of Light].
Marie was sleeping on her desk, perhaps tired from the continuous investigation, and Arietta was looking at her with a serious expression.
Arrieta, who was tidying up Mari’s hair, carefully floated her luck.
“Mari-sama is said to have been born as a saint before she was alive.”
“… … Is that so?”
“Yes, they said it was confirmed by meeting with Thanatos the other day.”
“… … When did you meet the Tanatos? ”
“Between the last war, I think it was when I found it.”
“It was then… … .”
When Mary disappears without a word.
The anxiety I felt then was unfounded. It was really dangerous.
Thanatos is the king of the dead.
It is also a being that can become stronger than anyone else on a battlefield where people die in hundreds of units.
Going to a 1:1 conversation with Thanatos in such a state made me feel dizzy even though it was already in the past.
“How did you say you were able to use divine power?”
“Even though I don’t know myself well… … . He must have had a mental problem.”
Perhaps the two of Arietta and Olivia had something else to guess. It must have been a problem, so he called me.
Arrieta hesitated a little, then sighed.
“… … Marie-sama has been living as a dead person until now.”
contradictory words. But I know what those words mean.
Not because she is from ＜Underworld＞, but because of her behavior.
“Like a doll, there was no self-control and no fear of death.”
“But not anymore.”
“Yes. Not anymore. Marie-sama has changed a lot since the beginning.”
Marie has changed.
It’s a little bit, but I started to express my subjectivity, and the number of times I laughed more than before.
It has become much closer to a person than before, when it was like a doll.
Yeah, I guess that was the reason. The reason why she bloomed with divine power, and the reason why she was hurt again by that power.
If so, there’s something going on.
Because she grew up because of Eleanor, she was able to use divine power.
Because Eleanor’s existence disappeared, she was hurt by divine power.
And now that Eleanor has returned, she has come back unscathed by divine power. Of course, bringing Eleanor was the answer.
So what’s the problem?
“Oz. Marie-sama has lived as a Cistus for too long.”
“… … .”
“I have lies all over my body. I mean alive.”
I understand through Arietta’s words.
Marie is close to dead.
The power of fraud is a power that no living person can handle in the first place.
However, if there is a problem, divine power and morale are incompatible.
“Right now, the balance is right. Holy power and morale are in balance, so it can be okay.”
In the past, it wouldn’t have mattered.
He must have already become a Cistus when he was young, and must have suppressed his divine power while overcoming death several times.
That’s how the body has grown to be able to harbor fraud.
The divine power that had been suppressed like that started sticking out its head again.
Marie has grown up. As a result, the divine power has bloomed, and the divine power will become stronger in the future.
Because she will continue to grow. Because your heart will be full.
That’s how the balance of her power will be biased toward the divine power.
So, what happens when the balance breaks down like that?
“Well, isn’t it a problem if you can still balance that?”
Presenting possibilities while trying to ignore weak insecurities.
Yes, she has the [Immortal Key]. If you use that power, you can replenish your morale.
“… … If it had been an intact key, it would have been possible.”
But Marie’s key was half a key. I was too complacent.
How much power can imperfect power produce?
Near-infinite morale cannot be used. The limit will surely come.
Furthermore, he said that Marie was a saint before she was alive. If so, the limits of divine power would be incomparably higher than now.
“then.”
The weak anxiety takes shape.
It comes to me as a clear truth.
Arrieta hesitated for a long time and finally said as if she had given up.
“Mari-sama has a limited time.”
Marie Cistus.
She was now on the verge of life and death.
