6. Proof of Existence (40)
“That’s right, it was made of orphans. Isn’t it pretty?”
There was even a glimpse of pride in the face of the girl who proudly showed off her blood.
To me, it was like a confirmation kill. Inadvertently, a scream leaked out through my teeth.
It was a precious sacrifice that I also benefited from several times. He never imagined that the material would be the souls of orphans.
It was impossible to understand at first. How could something like that be an offering to a celestial deity?
Regret, betrayal, and guilt flooded my heart.
It wasn’t just life.

Just as Yuren said, countless miracles were accomplished with that bloodline as a sacrifice. If it wasn’t for that power, the road I’ve walked so far would have been cut off long ago.
The life of a hero admired and admired by everyone.
It was a bloody trail made by the sacrifice of orphans. I was unbearably disgusted by that fact.
It felt like I was going to suffocate like this.
Whoops, whoops.
I twisted my body around and let out a moan. I wanted to vent my anger, but I just couldn’t afford it.
At most, he glared at Yuren with burning eyes.
Yuren’s expression was still calm.
“I’m sorry, Ian. I didn’t want to do this either.”
“Sung, the girl… … .”
With my dry tongue barely moving, I mentioned the fact that Yuren was trying hard to look away.
“Forgive me, I won’t… that, that… Cool! As far as… … .”
“I know. Maybe I made a stupid choice.”
Contrary to what he said, there was strong conviction in his unwavering voice.
It was a feeling close to blind obedience or fanaticism.
Should I call it faith?
An ominous light shone in Yuren’s green eyes.
“But, Ian, I’ve seen all sorts of bad things in my life as an orphan… How vicious the world is to the weak, and how greedy and cruel the priests of the holy kingdom are.”
Only then did I understand Yuren’s heart.
It was said that he committed it to help the saintess, but the scale of the crime was too great. It was to the point where Yuren alone would not be able to end it if he was found out.
Nine out of ten, the saintess will also be sparked.
Nevertheless, there was only one reason why Yuren participated in this inhumane act.
Because that was his belief.
Yuren did not follow the tenets of the Tenshin Church in the first place. Rather, it was a person closer to the Dark Church.
“What’s the point of digging out the inside of a rotten tree? It’s many times better to burn it down and spread it with manure to grow a new tree… My sister will be that seed. No, I will wear a laurel crown on that tree and rule them all!”
“M-M, kid… Darkness, the church… … .”
“I will leave it like that.”
“Party,” the girl smiled as she crossed her hands.
It was a face acting as a trustworthy merchant, as if to say not to worry.
“As long as you fulfill a few conditions, right? Well, I heard that she’s not a stupid woman… If things don’t go well, there are many ways to persuade them.”
Further conversation was pointless.
These two had long since set foot in madman territory. It meant that general ethics, common sense, and logic did not work.
Is this the end?
No matter how much I struggled, I couldn’t see a breakthrough.
Hey, is it worth it? Come to think of it, I’ve been very lucky so far.
It wasn’t just the blood. Besides that, my story continued on countless sacrifices.
Another fluke could not be expected.
While I was in despair, a shadow fell over me. With her hands behind her back, the girl was sending her blazing eyes.
“Actually, I made it up. Originally, Shylock Co. was meant to last a little longer, right? But seeing my brother, my heart… … .”
hahahaha. The expression on the girl’s face became hazy as she let out an excited sigh.
“My heart is beating so fast… I’m going crazy wanting to have it! So I deliberately provoked my brother. You can’t miss the wonderful lure of ‘Shylock’s Company’, right? Try to induce jealousy, whooping… My partner, the nobleman, didn’t like it, so he tried to get rid of my precious doll.”
“I will definitely pay this debt someday.”
Yuren’s grunt continued, but the girl didn’t even pay attention. It only filled my eyes with me.
“Finally, finally my dream has come true… Long live Omeros! Oppa, shall we have a pretty child?”
A voice intoxicated with lust, greed, hatred and resentment fills the eardrum.
“And I’m going to the people who abandoned me… How about it, will it be fun? Knowing the consequences of their sins… … !”
“… … God.”

Just before I closed my eyes, those were the last words I uttered.
All that human power can do has been done.
All that remains is to pray to God.
It may sound like trivial self-satisfaction, but I cursed the two like that.
“Aren’t you afraid of God?”
The girl’s eyelids opened and closed in a daze. Hearing such a strange noise, it was the face that said that my mental state was unpredictable.
On the other hand, Yuren only burst into laughter.
A sneer came to his lips.
“… … There is no God, Ian.”
Finally, the man’s back turned. The goodbyes didn’t last long.
“The way you look now is proof of that.”
jerk, jerk.
The sound of moving steps formed a certain rhythm. Like a newborn baby listening to a lullaby, I blinked slowly to the tune.
Wind and knit several times.
Then, at some point, the eyelids stopped opening.
The only thing I could hear was the sound of a small bead crying in my arms.
The beads were crying. Continue.

floating in a dream again
The scenery of one day, seen by a stranger.
“You have to pull the wires back.”
It was a heavy declaration.
As if to prove the weight of the remarks, silence erupted from all over the conference hall. Some of them looked like they had something to say, but no one actually opposed my opinion.
Because my judgment was extremely rational.
Humanity has maintained four front lines. With the situation surrounded on all sides, even the spies of the Dark Church hidden inside caused a commotion, and the war situation was getting worse and worse.
So the leaders of mankind made a decision.
Abandon the rest of the land and protect the last territory that can be defended. And on that border, they planned to build a fortress wall that culminated the last strength of mankind.
Of course, it was a judgment that had as many losses as gains.
If the wires are bitten right away, what should the residents living in them do?
The process of evacuation was last. There was no way that the road to leave the place of life he had cultivated all his life would not be difficult.
It was a decision that might have cost an unmanageable amount of human life.
No, in fact, such a calculation was at the base of this plan. It was an intention to abandon the unproductive population who could not even evacuate properly, and reorganize the population structure to launch a final struggle.
The commanders gathered in this tent must not have been unaware of this.
That’s why everyone must be making uncomfortable faces.
They were the ones who took to the forefront, claiming to be the protectors of humanity. There were nobles who had their estates here, and there were many people who had lived their lives as natives.
But even they didn’t dare to open their mouths.
It was because he felt more than anyone else that there was no alternative. If things went on like this anyway, humanity would only go on the path of co-destruction.
The forces of the Dark Church were too strong.
They were monsters that had grown in power in the shadows for thousands of years. The Master’s existence barely restrained them, but as soon as the demon called ‘Seven Sins’ appeared, the whole situation changed.
The Dark Church finally began to reveal its claws, and the result was like this.
Humanity was running towards destruction.
Like a runaway engine that can no longer be stopped.
It was expected that no one would object. I didn’t even want to actively approve of it.
they were cowards
Although he sympathized with the need to withdraw from the front more than anyone else, he did not want to hear the resentment and criticism that would result from it.
So I had no choice but to pretend to be the villain.
A thick, tired voice leaked from my mouth.
“If there is no objection, we will leave this matter aside in the future… … .”
“A lot of people will get hurt.”
It was a word that was uttered without even gaining the right to speak.
However, no one in the conference room reprimanded the speaker. Because this woman was the head of the Eastern Front and the one who defended against the Dark Church’s invasion under extreme conditions.
By the way, he was also my lover.
In bed, she is more obedient than anyone else, but other than that, she always divided construction work like a knife.
Can’t you hang out with Giabi’s insistence once or twice?
I tried to swallow the sigh that flowed out, and laid out the lines I had prepared.
“But it has to be done.”
“There is no disagreement with the judgment that the wires should be bitten. But, then, who is in charge of the people who stayed behind the lines?”
“No one is to blame.”
It was cruel, but it was a reality no one could deny.
Eyes resenting me were thrown here and there.
It didn’t matter. I will eat all the swear words.
“It is impossible to retreat while preserving our forces. To put it bluntly, I can’t afford to care about other people.”
“okay.”
Surprisingly, the woman seemed to agree.
Did the experience of being unilaterally suffered every night recently changed his mind?
In this sense, I wanted to start a relationship well. I knew best that no one could stop a woman if she started to be stubborn.
But my expectations were shattered in just a few seconds.
“Then I will have to stay.”
I said, and my breathing stopped.
It wasn’t just me. Everyone in the conference room stopped breathing.
My eyes widened and turned to the woman with earnest hope.
I muttered to myself.
please no
“I will remain and guard this front.”
Say it was just something you said.
“In the meantime, everyone retreat. Is that okay?”
Then, the woman quietly drew the sign of the cross on her chest.
My fists started getting stronger. Tendons burst out, and my gritted teeth trembled.
“Immanuel… … .”
It was then that I hit the desk with a bang.
Shards of broken wood flew everywhere. I heard small screams from a few people, but it didn’t reach my ears.
Only the saintess staring at me in silence filled my field of vision.
What the hell am I supposed to say
After pondering a few times, I
“… … follow me.”
We decided to spend some time alone together.
and the next moment.
Cracks began to go through the world I was standing in.
“Brother, are you awake?”
I heard a clear whisper that wet my ears.
As I hold on to my blurry consciousness, my vision clears.
I turned it off and let out a light moan. Before I knew it, the wounds on my body were all healed. Still, the residual pain awakened my sense of touch.
My blank eyes turned to the front.
There, a beautiful girl with dark hair and golden eyes was smiling and smiling.
The singularity was the location of the girl.
The girl who woke me up was sitting on top of me.
As the flagship, I tried to pull myself out somehow.
It was a futile attempt. It was because the restraints that bound the limbs were so hard.
My bewildered eyes scanned my surroundings.
The fainted Celine, the groaning Elsie-senpai, and my younger sister, who looked exactly like the girl in front of me, were restrained side by side behind the girl’s back.
The moment I asked myself, “Where is this place?”
“Brother, are you ready to be mine now?”
Soggy temptation coiled around me like a snake.
