rest (1)

Autumn has passed and winter has arrived. The vacation that came along with winter gave the students a reason to come home naturally.

More students have left than in the summer.

There aren’t many people who want to stay at this academy for a long time in a cluttered atmosphere.

Of course, I still remain at the academy.

The original case eventually belongs to the academy. It may be a natural result, as most of the situations were proceeded only from the inside without explaining the outside situation properly.

And as me, who has to prevent that situation, I have to stay at the academy.

In fact, there is nothing you can do outside of the academy.

“It’s snow.”

Adele mumbled so. After she heard from the Iliad that I was dead, she came to me constantly to check on my condition.

It was annoying, but there was no reason to refuse to take care of my physical condition.

She always led me to a cafe with delicious sweets.

“It’s delicious too.”

A brown cookie passed between Adele’s lips. She made an ecstatic expression as she chewed on the sweets.

Seeing that expression makes me think that checking my body is an excuse and I’m just coming to eat snacks with my own money.

However.

Oh Dodok.

“Okay.”

I also liked this cafe’s sweets quite a bit, so I didn’t bother stopping her.

I tried to reach for the cookie, but I paused for a moment, then stared intently at something lodged between the cookies.

Why is this here?

I immediately called the staff.

Adele and I visited this cafe quite often, so the staff almost seemed to treat us like regulars.

“What are you doing?”

Listening to the gentle voice of the staff, I pointed to the one embedded in the cookie.

The staff’s eyes follow my fingers and point towards the sweets.

Between the cookies, there were shrunken raisins that were neither index nor purple.

“Ah, this is a new product. It’s a fruit from dried grapes in the South, and they call it raisin. They eat it just as it is, but they also put it in sweets, so we tried it at our cafe…”

“Damn it.”

“yes?”

I chewed on it. I didn’t expect to see this damned substance here.

Adele opened her eyes wide and looked at me.

“Why is that? Does it taste good?”

“Is this okay? Raisins?”

“Yes, I’m fine? It goes well with sweets. Most of all, I like the taste when I eat it.”

Oh my god.

I shook my head. How can raisins be delicious?

I left the cafe without understanding.

footsteps are heard Adele was following me. Her face is full of bewilderment.

“Why all of a sudden?”

“…Isn’t this enough to examine my body?”

“That’s right, but… Are you tired of the raisin cookies by any chance?”

I opened my mouth. There’s no way you can get pissed off just because of raisins.

…really.

“It’s not like that.”

“I guess that’s right? It’s not like I’m a child, and it was a little bit like running away with raisins.”

“I said no, obviously.”

The corners of Adele’s lips rose slightly. She was laughing a little at me.

The fact that I was teased by Adele, who always teased me, pisses me off.

But I didn’t bother to show it, I turned around and headed towards the dormitory.

No, to be precise, I was going to go.

“The bishop will be coming to the academy soon.”

I couldn’t go to the dorm after listening to Adele talking to the back of my head.

I approached Adele with a slightly angry expression on her face.

She looks at my expression and frowns a little, then backs away. Are you still not used to it?

“Why are you saying that now?”

“I was going to tell you when you were done, because I didn’t know you’d run away for the raisins.”

“……”

He looked at Adele and sighed. Shit. If something like that happens, I’ll tell you soon.

I can’t say anything because I ran out.

Adele looked at me intently and grinned. That smile is somehow creepy.

I felt goosebumps all over my body.

“Suddenly, I want to eat delicious food.”

“Didn’t you come out of the cafe a while ago?”

“You left it all behind because of you. And dessert is not food.”

I wondered what that meant. I think I’ve heard something like that before, right?

Snacks are not food, and the food is set separately.

It was something I didn’t understand even then. There was no way I could understand it now.

“What do you mean? If dessert isn’t food.”

“Dessert is dessert, not food.”

“…?”

He tilted his head and frowned slightly. what do you mean by that What if dessert is not food?

Adele muttered as she looked at me, who didn’t quite understand.

“If you think about it that way, if you don’t understand it once, you won’t understand it until the end. Just buy me a meal or something.”

“…why do I have to buy you food?”

“Um… informational value?”

Adele laughed bashfully. I looked at her smile and nodded reluctantly.

Little was known about the bishop, so it would be good to hear from Adele, who holds an important position within the Order.

“Oh, then, let’s go eat our meat. There is a restaurant that Erina had in advance. The price was high, so I couldn’t afford it.”

“Somehow, it seems that they regard me as a wallet.”

“I can.”

White dust fell from the sky. it was snow Snow piled up in various parts of the capital, forming a small hill.

hooked.

The snow continued to fall as if there was a hole in it, and it reached a level that blocked the road.

Around that time, merchants began voluntarily clearing snow from the road for their business.

The small piles of snow became a big hill by the hands of the merchants, and they melted little by little.

Nevertheless, the snow continued to pile up.

It was nothing compared to the winter castle, but it was a heavy snow that was not easily seen in the imperial capital.

I bowed my head and rubbed my eyes.

It was weaker than the snow of the winter castle, and it was quickly scattered.

For me, the snow was just the ground that allowed the bright red flower to take root.

The children liked the snow, so they started throwing snowballs.

The sight of them flirting with each other and throwing snowballs was an unstoppable little boy.

Just if there is a problem.

puck.

“Do not throw.”

“Why? It’s fun.”

The point is that a saint who is praised on the continent is also interposed among the little ones.

She kept throwing snowballs at me and stopped throwing them when I blocked them with magic.

“Hey, you’re not funny.”

“Go fast.”

I don’t want to hear that it’s not fun from someone who uses it as an almost half-wallet.

Near the meat restaurant, the blizzard stopped.

Instead, new decisions began to come down cautiously.

One of them landed on Adele’s head.

“Wow….”

Adele rolled her eyes and walked down the street.

She reached out and touched her eyes.

He was playing like a child.

“You act like a child who sees your eyes for the first time. You must have seen them in the cafe a while ago?”

Adele frowned slightly at my question and mumbled.

“It’s not the first time I’ve seen it, but it’s the first time I’ve seen so many come.”

“Even though it’s not common that I’ve come this many times, it’s probably not the first time I’ve seen it.”

Adele stopped moving at my words. She put her hands together and watched as the snow piled up.

… Her face is filled with sadness that she doesn’t know why.

“Deron, do you know how a saint is chosen?”

“I know the approximate procedure. Isn’t it about finding a child born with the strongest divine power in the entire continent and turning it into a saint?”

“Then what is the process of finding the saint?”

I shut my mouth. It was a story that did not come from the original.

The book merely explains that a child who has been given divine destiny becomes a candidate for a saint, but does not tell exactly.

Adele opened her mouth as she turned to me as if she knew it.

“In the case of nobles, if they feel divine in their children, priests visit them. They visit and test there.”

“It knows.”

“It’s not that different for commoners, except that you don’t have to go to visit them, you just have to come and visit them in person.”

“……”

“then.”

Adele’s eyes twinkle. The divinity in her eyes shines brighter than ever.

There is no one who does not tremble at the power that is even different from that of a general priest.

So she is a saint.

“What will happen to those who do not have parents, children who do not even have the strength to visit the denomination?”

I couldn’t answer her question. Because it was a question I never thought about.

The previous saint dies, and the saint must be reborn.

And there is no reason why the saint must be a commoner or a nobleman.

If so, where did all the saints come from?

“…how are you going to bring it?”

swallowed the saliva. Even in the original, Adele becomes Rebecca, just before she dies from an annihilation drift.

I’ve never heard of such a thing.

The story of the saint herself that does not appear in the book.

This is probably a statement that can be made because it is Rebecca, not Adele, a student at the academy.

However.

Adele said as she put her finger to my mouth.

“I’ll tell you later.”

“What?”

“To tell you this yet, our relationship isn’t that close, is it?”

Rebecca, no, Adele, who quickly recovered her divine power, smiled at me and headed to the meat shop I had planned in advance.

In the past, this is a place that sells the fivore meat that Erina, Han, and Agnes ate at a festival.

“her.”

I smirked as I watched Adele move lightly.

“You ate a good one.”

Yeah, I mean, we’re not even close to telling the big secret between us yet.

I’ll let you know next time. That means you are willing to develop your relationship with me a little more.

And I will definitely develop that relationship.

It’s because I’m curious.

How much more is hidden in the original story that I do not know.

“Make sure to listen with that mouth.”

With that in mind, I headed towards the meat restaurant.

“…why are you here?”

“That’s what I want to ask. Deron.”

I found Agnes having a snowball fight with Adele.

Why is he here again?
