6. Proof of Existence (74)
It was not a question posed with controversy in mind in the first place. Of course, there was no way to think deeply, and there was no answer to give to such an esoteric question.
I don’t know if it’s Leto.
The saint did not bother to blame me for what I said out of anger.
It was just a light smile.
“Are you afraid of not knowing? What is the will of the Lord, and does the Lord really look down on us?”
“Yeah, of course… … .”
“Why deny God?”
The saint asked a cryptic question and sat down slowly.
His azure eyes captured the shadows of fire soaring high into the sky. I naturally thought of the saintess.
The saintess denied God.
And Siene-senpai’s words came to mind. When denying God, the reason why priests get particularly excited is because of anxiety that God might not exist.
I put a similar answer in my mouth without much thought.
“Well, maybe there is no god… … ”
“Because I want God to exist.”
My pupils sneakily turned to the saint. He silently glanced behind his back.
There were tens of thousands of people standing there.
Staring blankly at the soaring flames.
“Our faith is in crisis. However, in an unreasonable and cruel world, how can we dissuade humans from wanting to believe in the existence of God? So, I shout even louder. God doesn’t exist… Hoping someone will deny this and prove the existence of God.”
I was about to retort, but I stopped talking.
I wonder if the saintess felt the same way.
After being silent for a long time, I finally gnashed my teeth and swallowed the tears.
“… … Can I?”
prove the existence of God
It works a miracle and comes back alive.
There was no answer to my earnest question.
The saint just stared at the silently burning flame.
As always.

The woman opened her eyes in the faint light.
The question “Where is this place?” flashed through his bleached mind. My consciousness was rising and memories were coming back one by one.
I knelt down on the firewood.
Then I closed my eyes and put my hands together and prayed. To be honest, I was scared and scared, but I tried to pretend to be calm.
Hoping that the man I love would be a little less anxious.
Is it a flashlight?
The flames scorched his skin and ran. Even the breath I inhaled was hot, causing my lungs to shrivel, and an unimaginable pain rushed in.
The saintess muttered inwardly.
Lord, will you really forsake me?
However, this was also willing to accept if it was the will of the Lord. It had been a long time since the saintess was willing to risk her own life if she could save the one man she loved in the end.
If this is fate
If you have to ‘obedience’.
I’d be happy to do it. I closed my eyes with such determination, and when I opened them again, I was here.
A certain scenery began to shine in the eyes of the saintess who was in a state of fascination.
The light is visible from far away. With each step the saintess took, her body gradually grew younger.
And since when?
A girl was walking down the street.
The little boy was powerless. Since childhood, she has been highly praised for her jewel-like appearance, but to the poor, beauty is no different from poison.
A drunken adult burst into the girl’s house.
The girl had to hide in her room without knowing why. And right after the quarrel, a scream was heard from somewhere.
My father, who was bleeding profusely, came in and said.
“Run away.”
The girl was frightened and her eyes filled with water droplets. My father spoke in a more serious voice than ever before.
“And don’t forget to hide your face everywhere. You are the greatest gift that the heavenly gods have given to us… Hide your face until one day the world recognizes you, and until you meet someone who truly does.”
It was the beginning of an unfortunate fate.
Falling and getting hurt again and again, the girl started wandering, wrapping her face in an old cloth.
It was the same even after settling in an orphanage.
The girl didn’t say anything, and she never showed her face. Rumors that her features were disfigured by a plague helped conceal the girl’s beauty.
Instead, persecution and contempt followed.
A filthy orphan walking around with bandages wrapped around her.
I was often spit on because I was unlucky, and there were many times when I was dragged away and beaten for no reason.
Even among orphans, the girl was an object of bullying.
Every time she was trampled on by the world, the helpless girl gritted her teeth.
I am a gift from the heavens.
Do you think I will break down like this? Heaven is watching over me.
Yeah, it’s just that the time hasn’t come yet.

Just as the savior came down to this earth after countless years, the saintess was just waiting for the right time. Also, the saintess witnessed all the truths of the world from the bottom.
Being weak is not necessarily good.
On the contrary, they were more rough and inconsiderate. It was because for the poor, ‘sharing’ was a matter directly related to survival.
Since the wealth he possesses is insignificant, he cannot relax his gripped hands.
Conversely, the weaker the power, the more essential solidarity was. So they formed a group and emphasized strong loyalty among them, but it was only an order made of violence.
The girl wanted to change this world.
The poor do not become evil because they want to be evil. This world was driving them to the brink.
There was no need for cheap pity or hostility.
have to go up
To a very high place, to a place where we can radically reform all these structures.
Then, the girl met a pretty boy. She was often bullied for looking like a woman, but the girl liked that even more.
Shall we call it Dongbyeongsangryeon?
The boy soon became a younger brother.
“Sister, will there ever come a world where orphans like us are not discriminated against?”
“I will make it.”
Grinding her teeth, the girl swore in front of her reborn family.
“I don’t need sympathy… With our own hands, we have to do it. Pigs who are full cannot upset anything.”
And the girl grew up and was chosen by the Heavenly God.
The beauty of the girl who became a ‘saint’ and revealed her face was as beautiful as a flower that had just burst into bloom. Countless people praised and praised, and the name of the saintess was exalted.
Walk and walk like that, eventually this place.
The saintess suddenly came to her senses and looked back.
Someone was holding onto the saintess’ ankle. A boy and a girl crying bloody tears.
In addition, the empty eyes of the orphans who continued endlessly after that were staring at the saintess.
The orphans cried out, opening their mouths full of darkness.
“Why, why did you abandon us… … ?”
“You said you were making a world for us! You said you would save us!”
The saintess’ complexion immediately turned blue. Among the faces of the screaming orphans, there were also familiar faces.

James and Mary.
The saintess sat down and stepped back, dragging her butt. A trembling voice leaked out.
“No, no… Me, I think so… … !”
“Liar!”
While shedding pitch-black tears, the orphans all at once writhed.
“There is no god! What a god!”
“… … That’s right, what a god!”
Responding to that chorus, someone from beyond was taking light steps.
Covered in shadows, the detailed appearance was unknown. However, just by looking at the body shape, the saintess instantly guessed the identity of the other person.
A person who was once considered the only family member, Yu-Ren.
He was approaching with a sword.
“Do you still believe in God?! They say they love the weak, but they’ve never really loved us! If that proud god exists, why doesn’t he save us? Why don’t you still extend a helping hand to your sister? Even a terrible object made with the soul of an orphan is accepted as a sacrifice… Tell me, please!”
It was an outburst regenerating from a nightmare of the past.
The saintess wanted to take a step back and run away right away. However, the ankle of the fallen saintess had already been caught by the orphans for a long time.
The sword of Yuren, who narrowed the distance without hesitation, shone with sharp anticipation.
“Ahhh… … .”
“I betrayed you?! Do not be ridiculous! The one who betrayed us is the Celestial God! And it was you who abandoned our dreams!”
Screaming loudly, Yuren gave strength to the hand holding the sword.
The saintess finally closed her eyes tightly.
There was only one face that came to mind at the end.
The man who will become the saintess’ first love and her last love.
“… … Ian!”
In that one word I inadvertently shouted.
Yuren’s sword came to a standstill. The saintess had to put on a stupid expression at the white light overflowing from somewhere.
It was in arms.
Light was emanating from the silver rosary.
After just a few seconds.
Like the lights went out with a pop, the shadows of Yuren and the orphans scattered like powder.
Before long, the world was bright again.
The saintess staggered to her feet, swallowing dry saliva. I didn’t know why, but I had a strong intuition that someone was waiting for the saintess far away.
how long did it take
After staggering and almost falling over several times, the saintess gritted her teeth and walked, finally entering a space full of clouds.
existed there.
With a thump, the saintess collapsed as her legs gave out. Covered in a brilliant light, his true form could not be seen.
But I got it.
It was a gaze that I forgot because it was natural like sunlight. Those hollow eyes were looking at the saintess.
As always.
“All, you… … .”
Suppressing her surprised heart, the saintess threw a low question.
“… … You are the angel.”
It was the moment when the lost lamb finally faced God.
