Episode 90. Can I take a short walk?

It wasn’t that I had a crush on him from the beginning.

At the time, I was so preoccupied with the idea that I had to hide my identity, and I just did everything a girl of that age could do.

‘Who is my daughter’s favorite?’

‘Dad is my favorite!’

Even if it’s whispering love to a man younger than me in my previous life.

I thought that the only way I could survive being dragged into a strange world was to parasitize under them.

‘I like Seine too.’

And fortunately, my second father was a very caring man.

It’s probably the same as loving your child in your previous life, but there was something that could be called composure in the way this person treated me.

‘My daughter, my treasure. Proof that I am alive in this world……. Just because you exist, I can say that I have been rewarded for all my life so far.’

Sincerely.

The voice that regarded my existence as the reward of my life.

‘So, please, grow up in good health.’

As I listened to that kind whisper over and over again, I realized that at some point I had a special feeling for him.

Under someone like this, you will be able to dream of a good family unlike your previous life…

I also thought that the day might come when I truly feel love for him as a family.

‘Where are you going, Dad?’

‘…… I’m sorry Seine, Dad has work to do.’

Still, it’s because he’s a duke.

Even though the mother is in charge of the household, being a member of it, it was understandable that she was busy walking around the outside.

But the reality was completely different.

It was five years after his reincarnation that he found out that he was working for a place that had nothing to do with his family’s work.

It was around the time that his body was plastered with unhealed injuries.

‘Now you are in a difficult condition to recover even with the power of the Lord. It’s dangerous to go to the battlefield with a body like this.’

Severe injuries that even the clergy would dissuade.

Although he has to rely exclusively on natural treatment, he always wanted to get out of bed after his home recuperation.

‘No, I can’t back down just yet.’

Amid harsh wars, the era gradually realizes the limits of divine power.

If you realize that you can no longer save everyone with only God’s miracle, everyone living in this world will eventually fall into despair.

The moment you doubt the existence of God, salvation for the living will lose its chance, and faith that is gradually disintegrating will deny even the afterlife, making even the sacrifices of the dead meaningless.

In those times, he was trying his best to spread the technology that would be a new hope. I too was influenced by him and followed his path, so I understood how noble and noble his heart was.

However, even if the heart is upright, isn’t it the individual who ultimately lives in the world?

Though it is okay to be considerate of others by being faithful to one’s own desires and giving it within a reasonable amount.

Why does he want to leave his ideal family at the cost of his own life?

‘Mom… ….’

But what I don’t understand more than that.

That the person who awakened love for him before me does not follow.

‘Why isn’t Mom going?’

‘… Because someone has to protect the family.’

‘Dad can do that.’

A body that only knows how to wield a sword.

Since she had no talent for politics or management of the estate, she should have given that role to her husband instead of herself.

What is the reason for not stepping into a place where force is needed in such a yard?

‘But mom is strong. More than anyone else on this continent……. Then shouldn’t her mother just go and fight instead?’

No matter how much he pursues the cause.

If she, with her overwhelming power, steps forward, a situation will arise where he doesn’t even need to step forward.

‘Seine.’

I don’t understand that kind of attitude.

She said quietly with a sullen face.

‘Having power doesn’t always mean taking responsibility.’

It wasn’t the same thing.

It wasn’t even the logic of mutually assured destruction that kept each other in check with overwhelming force.

‘…… What do you mean. That.’

‘I didn’t take up my sword for war. Mum just thinks it’s enough to keep you and a place for her dad to come back to.’

The reason why he was infinitely selfish and only thought of himself.

That was all the reason the mother of a 5-year-old girl told me.

‘Even though mom can’t stop her dad from leaving, I’m sure he’ll be fine, so wait for Seine too. If the war ends someday, then we will all live happily…….’

‘Stop talking nonsense.’

Yes.

To me, who has the spirit of an adult, it’s too disingenuous.

‘You, you are a duke.’

For that moment, I gave up on playing the ideal daughter.

It was inevitable.

Looking at that person’s kindness, I couldn’t grasp it in my previous life…

Still, my ideal of a proper ‘family’ was completely destroyed through that remark.

‘Everything you enjoy comes from this family. The people who built this country passed it on to you. But you’re going to enjoy the reward as much as you want and avoid the responsibility?’

‘…Seine.’

‘Are you still the leader of this land? Even then, they are the pillars that support the imperial family!’

Of course, I also…….

I am also the person who didn’t want him to go.

I do not deny that his heart is the same as that of the person in front of me.

But if it were me, I wouldn’t have just stood by.

Because the person who should decorate one side of a home that can be run with that person shouldn’t just wait for that person to come back.

From noble mtl dot com

When I ran out of my family because I couldn’t stand being swayed by such a person.

I finally had the time to face the tragedy that I had only encountered through games.

I felt the weight of what was only expressed in shame with my own body, and I only repeated my hatred toward one person.

‘Celia Berthaille.’

A barren land where enemies and allies are mixed and buried.

In order not to be swept away by the madness that filled the place, I had to create someone I would call my enemy.

Others chose those who belonged to the opposite camp as targets, but I…

I, the only one who knows the future of this world, couldn’t bear to express my hatred towards the victims in the same situation.

Because I knew that, unlike them, my second mother was loved by the Creators.

Because I know that out of all the futures I know, not a single face is shown in any of the endings.

‘I don’t think the day I will fall in love with you will ever come.’

Still, waiting for this terrible tragedy to end without enduring any responsibility or pain.

Isn’t it natural that you don’t want to understand?

***

-Hang!

As the reminiscence draws to a close, an angry cry can be heard.

– Aang! Yes!

It was a loud barking sound as the dog looked at the door to the health room that was tightly closed.

Damn it, since when did you fall asleep?

If you make a visitor wait while you are sleeping, you will have to write a letter of condolence, but if he hadn’t cried, I would have missed the shadow standing in front of the door.

“Seine Velvet. Is there?”

“Yes, I am leaving.”

I immediately got out of bed, put on a white gown, and headed for the exit of the health room.

Time is when the sun goes down.

At that time, awakening my sleepy spirit, I opened the door and faced a middle-aged man wearing a raincoat stained with rain.

Although his body was wrapped tightly, it was immediately recognizable that he had black hair and black eyes.

A face that clearly exists in my memory……. Yes, he was definitely the leader of the Black Holy Knights who guarded the Black Saint of Heide.

“It’s been a while Vincent oppa. How have you been?”

“… ….”

“… Why brother?”

“I want you to be careful with your words and actions.”

“Hey~ Why would you do that between us? No matter how much you are a father, if there is only a 10-year age difference, you can be an older brother or a younger brother, right?”

“Kuhm.”

Vincent’s older brother dares to clear his throat even though he should be able to shove right away.

Looking at the slightly reddened cheeks, it must be quite embarrassing to be called oppa.

I felt it the first time I saw him, but he’s a person who has a taste for bullying.

“By the way, to visit while wrapping yourself in the rain……. Did anything serious happen?”

“I don’t know the details, but the saintess called you.”

“… The saintess?”

“Yes, even the saintess asked me to bring her quietly. Can you join us?”

“Yeah, well… If it’s urgent, you should visit it. I’ll get permission from the chairman first.”

In most cases, you will have to leave your seat with an agent, but since tomorrow is a public holiday anyway, leaving it empty for one night will not be a problem.

Above all, it was nominated by the saintess, so the school, which wants to have a close relationship with Heide, will consider it important.

However, Vincent’s expression, who had come to pick me up, was seriously hardened.

“… I want the report to the person in charge to be minimal.”

“Why?”

“The saintess called you right after she met the person who was visiting the confessional.”

“Aha.”

I can understand if that’s for sure.

The Sacrament of Confession in the confessional is an act that is established when a believer swears to God to be completely silent. Of course, spreading the stories you heard inside is something that religious people should avoid.

Even so, there is one reason why the priest who heard the confession there asked for outside help.

It means that the person who is confessing desperately needs outside help for reasons that cannot be disclosed extensively, and that the saintess chose me as the person who can solve it.

“I’m glad you understood right away.”

“Yes, I will go as soon as I am ready.”

If the saint called me, she must be related to medicine.

In that case, let’s take the minimum first aid kit, and while I was looking around the health room, I noticed a dog rattling its tail.

-Chiu?

“… Alright, let’s go too.”

Nothing.

No matter how serious it is, could anything weirder than take cabbage for a walk?

***

“Sensei Seine, is it possible for a virgin to become pregnant?”

“…… Yes?”

The saintess avoids her gaze, as if she is aware that what she said is absurd.

After that, the saintess looked at me again and asked quietly.

“Well… I asked if it was medically possible for a woman to get pregnant without having s*x.”

At the words of none other than the saintess, I put on a dazed expression without realizing it.

So what is it?

Did she ask if it was possible to have a baby without having s*x?

-Chiu?

At that moment, Gaechu looked up at me while holding me in my arms.

When she saw that face to face, she understood why Mr. Ranpa had taken her cabbage for a walk.

“Can I take a short walk?”

Nothing.

This is where all sorts of oddities happen, so you might try to keep your composure by taking some cabbage for a walk.
