115. meaning of saint
A basement with no ventilation.
The smell of Sister Lucia’s sweat and dust was thick like a mist, but the smell of deodorant May had brought them away.
Three people squatting in such a place to play a card game.
May, Lucia and me.
“This is a scam! Is not it? Right? Do you guys think I look like a pair of hot pants?”
I shouted as I threw the card in resentment, but Mei snapped her fingers with a sly smile like a cat.
“Come here, come here. Just great.”
“I swear to Helios, I’ve never seen Daniel in hot pants.”
“ha.”
I lowered my head in annoyance, and Mei’s beetle hit my forehead. I’m going to beat it a little bit, but I’m going to hit it with all my power.
As it is, it twists its face and gets hit by Lucia as well. He looks gentle, but I was surprised that his hands were so spicy.
“Huh, stop. Because it annoys me.”
“Oh, it was fun.”
Mei organizes the cards she brought with a satisfied smile.
Lucia also said that it was fun and leaned her back on the box behind her, but she shouted as if static electricity flowed.
“No, but can I stay like this? Because you are protecting me.”
The reason the three of us are here was simple.
Because I can’t take Lucia out of here.
The rebels are monitoring the entire cathedral as if besieging it.
I made a half-beast like that, but the guys who came out of nowhere were keeping a close eye on anyone in the cathedral so that they wouldn’t even take a step out of it.
So, it was easy for Me and Mei to sneak in, but it was difficult to get out with Lucia, who is a normal person.
We’re here because it’s wiser to just stay in the basement for one more day than to let Mikaela and the Reconnaissance Squad open a gap, or to find out that they have a plan.
“How did you end up doing something like a school trip in a place like this, would you like some candy?”
“Educational Travel……”
Lucia naturally accepts the candy May gives her and chews on her words.
For her, travel was about missionary travel, which was her entire life.
My heart felt heavy as if I thought I had enjoyed it like a normal student without realizing it.
“Now prepare well. I will be very busy tomorrow.”
Mei makes a puzzled expression when she says, taking a folding chair from the warehouse and unfolding it in front of the door.
“Daniel is not going to sleep? If you are on the border, would you like to be replaced in the middle?”
“It’s okay, just sleep. I am confident that I will stay up all night.”
“Would you be bored? Then, shall we talk next to each other?”
May, with a blanket wrapped around her shoulder, sneaks up on the floor like a cat. Anyway, even if I let go of this a little bit, I’m going to hit it right away.
“Sleep.”
When I crossed my legs to naturally block May’s approach, he kicked his tongue and went back.
“Pu-huh.”
Lucia smiles while looking at us like that.
“It’s nice to see you two getting along so well.”
“Is not it? Doesn’t it suit you well?”
“What suits you? Do you know what he was trying to do to me in the first place? It was a time when spring flowers slowly began to sprout buds and had their first fresh encounter with the world…”
“hey! hey!”
Mei didn’t seem to be able to sleep at all, so I thought I should tell an old-fashioned story or Lucia.
“Why are you talking about the past?”
“Are you still getting stabbed? May has become a real person.”
“yes? want to kiss? Is not it? Now that you’re not closing your mouth, do you mean you want to kiss me?”
“hey!”
He reached out his hand to push Mei, who was thrusting right in from his face, but he opened his small mouth and bit my index and middle fingers like candy.
“Hey mahao!”
(Stop!)
“Okay, so let it go. Not some beast!”
I was annoyed because I felt strange for nothing, but our Mei was extremely quick to notice in this direction.
“…Bhru?”
(……I’m embarrassed?)
“damn! Every time you talk, your tongue touches me!”
Annoyed, I grabbed the guy’s chin with the other hand and gave me strength to rescue my fingers.
I pulled my wet fingers away from my body as far as possible and pulled out a handkerchief with my other hand.
“Aren’t you killing your candy sucking skills?”
“There’s nothing a student can’t say!”
Without realizing it, I screamed and shouted, but Mei grabbed the handkerchief and wiped my fingers herself.
“Anyway, are you pretending to be a grown-up all by yourself and feeling ashamed when you do this?”
Is this a little disgraceful?
I feel like I’m being teased by an 18-year-old for saying I’ve never been in a relationship until I’m 28.
But it seems that Lucia, who was watching us from behind, did not see it that way.
“Wow! Wow! Whoa!”
Lucia hugged the blanket tightly with her face blushing after regressing as an infant. Mei, who had been in the mood because of her reaction, seemed to be amused, so she returned the handkerchief to me and went to her seat.
“Ugh.”
In any case, it is difficult to stop Mei, who has been gaining momentum since the last festival. It was hard for the other kids, but Mei was especially careful.
For example, in the case of Eve, she treats her as usual and then quietly throws it away. carelessly in such a way that it doesn’t matter.
It’s a secret couple, but it feels like we accidentally tell people what we only know.
Lynn seems to have reached some sort of level recently.
When other kids come along, I can’t stand it while laughing on the spot, but the smile is a bit scary.
Later, he secretly came to me and said, “Are you okay?” I’ve never had a good answer to that question.
I don’t know what will happen if I do it, but I want to know for the rest of my life.
The witch Adrina is not at school right now, so pass.
There wasn’t much to say right now other than sharing his heart with the elf Eris.
Elise?
Another pervert year.
When I saw it, God made her a princess, but when I made it, there was no answer other than pretty things, so I thought maybe it was because she was the king’s daughter.
Mei is quick-witted and knows how to go with the flow. I know that like Elysée or Lynn, I feel burdened when I do it openly.
However, I also know that it is difficult to survive this meaningless competition (?) if you throw it gently like Eve.
Usually, they act like a really close friend, but when they think this is an opportunity, they rush in as if a cat has suddenly turned into a tiger.
What’s really difficult about this is that guys like Elise basically meet in a nervous state, but May naturally overcomes my defense mechanism and comes inside and sticks out her teeth.
‘Anyway, I guess who isn’t a bully.’
What you are doing is very bad.
To add, it’s hopeful and cruel.
May and Lucia started talking about this and that even while lying in bed.
Mainly, the situation where Lucia is asking questions about her relationship with me, and May is lying down and glancing at me while slightly shy.
It was really the female students who chattered on the field trip.
After talking for a while, there was silence for a while.
I thought I was going to sleep now, but Lucia opened her mouth again.
“I’m actually scared.”
I, who had my arms crossed, glanced at Lucia, and Mei, perhaps feeling strange, turned and looked at her.
“Can I become a saint? No, even if it were, am I really a person worthy of a saintess?”
“……”
Mei and I listened to her in silence.
“Actually, until I came to Batian, I imagined what it would be like to become a saint and had fun. I was so excited and trembled. Now that I think about it, I think I was very arrogant and foolish.”
Now Lucia was a girl, not a nun.
And this is a secret confession, late at night, in a cellar where God’s grace has neither risen nor shined.
“When I came here, I was standing in the middle of a strife stained with envy and jealousy over the position of a saint, so I was so scared, but I thought that I was a very foolish person.”
“……”
“Of course, I’m against Aphrodite’s sister becoming a saint, but whether I’m qualified to sit in that seat is another matter.”
Mei slowly turns her gaze to me.
Lucia was needed to prevent the monster who manipulates people using Aphrodite’s power from wearing the most sacred veil of sainthood.
Originally, I would have had to pick and choose words while struggling to persuade.
I didn’t mean to force her, so I said it honestly.
“Okay, you’re fine. Honestly incompetent.”
“……!”
“All right, Daniel?”
Lucia and May raised their upper bodies and focused their eyes on me.
“I didn’t even notice the betrayal of the priest who came with me, and I was kidnapped without any power, and I just called God’s name for a few days here.”
“……”
“The fact that you’re becoming a saint now is because you’re a suspect in a murder case. Michaela didn’t feel the need to keep you in check, so she neglected it.”
In a word, there was nothing she was leading in the current situation.
Furthermore, Lucia drooping.
“Besides, you seem to have misunderstood the position of a ‘saint’.”
“……Yes?”
what is a virgin
Someone praises her as the most merciful and compassionate woman in the kingdom, and always as a holy woman chosen by God.
Someone else simply spit at the cathedral as a scarecrow and a making-up doll made by inciting citizens to put pressure on the royal family even a little.
Although they are polar opposites like this, if there is one thing in common between the opinions of both sides.
None other than that, a saintess is ‘one who prays to God more than anyone else’.
“I have no strength, I cannot handle mana, I have no sense, I do not know how to read people, and even I am stupid, I blindly trust people.”
I said it was a poke, but unlike before, when I was lowering my head, I was staring blankly at me, so I naturally made eye contact with her.
“Sister Lucia, what the hell do you have?”
“ah……”
“Tell me, I want to hear it from your mouth.”
Lucia swallowed her saliva and gave the correct answer very carefully.
“Faith in God.”
“Saints shouldn’t rely on swords in critical situations, shouldn’t deal with mana to solve situations, and shouldn’t solve cases with superior brains than others.”
And of course.
“It’s also not okay to brainwash and control people through imprinting.”
“……”
“A place where one must pray to God in any situation.”
Take a deep breath and finish your speech.
“That’s the role of being a ‘saint’.”
In a way, she was the very opposite of Prince Oliver.
Fate, substance, money, knowledge, power.
There was nothing outstanding about either one.
She was meaner than anyone else, and couldn’t raise her head in shame because she was incompetent.
So, she relied solely on God.
Paradoxically, that was the reason why she was able to sit in the highest position revered by everyone as a ‘saint’.
Well, this is only from my point of view, and to be honest, I did not view the position of a saint very well because I have a very pessimistic view of God.
“……thanks.”
Lucia wipes the dead tears with her hands.
Mei, who was taking turns looking at me and Lucia, slowly got up and approached me.
I didn’t know why, but I was caught in her side by a surprise attack. The boy slowly came to his ear and whispered.
“If I grow up here, do I really become a thug?”
Mei pinches my side with all her heart.
For a moment, I felt the same horror as Rin, so I couldn’t answer anything.
After returning to her seat, May hugged Lucia and went back to bed.
May slowly closed her eyes to Lucia, who had a light expression on her face.
“I’m a friend lover.”
Startled, Lucia’s shoulders trembled.
I tried to say, “I’m not your boyfriend,” but May continued before she could stop talking.
“Did we like it? Let’s keep the line.”
I thought it was a useless worry, but Lucia answered in a slightly mischievous voice.
“There is a record that the god Helios had many wives.”
“hey.”
“No, just like that.”
“……”
Mei was about to fall asleep again feeling uncomfortable, but here Lucia adds one more word.
“I know that? The gods like the number ‘3’.”
“Should I remove the buds? Daniel, tomorrow I will be a saint.”
bullsh*t really
When May rushes straight to Lucia, she lets out a sly laugh and says, “Joke! It’s a joke!” he exclaimed.
