There Is No Spring in the Stolen Field

95. new idea

…noticing that? …how?

Is that also Shinan’s ability?

Maybe I’m just passing it over, so let’s pretend we don’t know.

“…This is what Lady Luna saved me from.”

“If that’s true.”

She cut off my words by saying that she was not even a saint.

“Perhaps Luna, who is not here, seems to have a deep connection with the demons.”

…it was a handshake.

The one who shouldn’t be caught being more demonic than me was Luna.

Whoa… Is it unavoidable?

“…That’s right. This is an item I received from the demons.”

“From now on, don’t tell obvious lies in front of me.”

Does it even have a lie detection feature?

I don’t think so.

“Then let me ask you one more time. That ring. Who did you get it from?”

“…The one who turned me into a demon. I’m Amelia, a great demon.”

The saintess’ red eyes widened.

“Could you say your name again?”

hmm? Do you know Master?

“It’s Amelia.”

“Amelia…if she’s definitely…”

As she repeated Master’s name, she turned her head for a moment and looked out the window.

“If that’s the case, it definitely makes sense. It’s also understandable that I was able to avoid Luke’s eyes.”

I nodded.

“…but I’ve never heard of her having the ability to change humans into demons, right?”

That’s not Master’s ability, so of course you wouldn’t know.

“I don’t know the details either.”

“Well. There’s no way you had the authority to ask such a question. From her point of view, we’re like bugs.”

Other than that, he treated me well. hahahaha.

“Mr. Yuwol.”

“Yes. Holy Lady.”

“Can you see my eyes?”

Yes, of course you can see it.

It was more strange not to see it when it was shining so eerily.

“To a normal human being, I would still see my eyes closed.”

in other words. Is it a story that only I seem to have opened my eyes?

“Mr. Yuwol. The moment you are named a saint. How do you think that nun is blind?”

That’s it. What about the power of God? Isn’t it natural to sleep?

It was a story I hadn’t thought about in detail.

“I do not know.”

“The eyes of a saintess.”

She paused.

“The Archbishop stabs himself in the eye with a knife.”

…yes?

That was an unreasonable method even for me, a demon.

“The bishop stabbed my eyes as a little girl with a sharp blade.”

What demons would do is done in the temple.

“With my screaming mouth shut, they finally took the light out of my world.”

Goosebumps broke out all over my body.

“It’s a funny story. But I don’t particularly blame the archbishop now.”

…You have to have that kind of personality to become a saint.

Still, I thought it would be difficult not to resent the person who stabbed me in the eye.

“Instead, I’ve made up my mind to curse the demons forever.”

It was her voice that was full of sharp edges.

It felt like the air was cold.

“Becoming a saint may seem glorious and worthy of celebration from the outside, but how many people can really accept it that way?”

The saintess tapped the table with her index finger.

“My eyes, which are now watching Mr. Yuwol, are the power of Shinan.”

also. I knew it wasn’t normal snow.

“In front of my eyes, no demon can hide their identity.”

However, I was a little puzzled. If it is a divine eye, why does it glow red?

The red eyes were no different from the symbol of the demons.

Unable to overcome my curiosity, I asked her a question.

“…why is it shining red? What is the holy woman’s new eye?”

“I don’t know exactly what it is, but I think it’s probably because of the things in the process of opening my eyesight.”

Like the hero, do saints have certain stages?

It was me who had little information about the saintess.

“After becoming a saint, my daily routine was to visit the site that the demons had ruined.”

Of course, Homeron Village was erased by human hands, but if the demons actually carried out the process, a more terrible disaster would have been waiting for me.

In particular, he was well aware that the actions of lower-ranking demons, rather than great demons, were inferior.

To pass the time, they deceive and play with humans. It was common to lead them to ruin.

Even though I had become a demon, I had never thought that demons were like good sheep.

The scenes the saintess faced were probably…

It must have been more terrible than I thought.

“The only way I could feel the scene as I lost my sight was to use my other five senses.”

“That means…”

“Yes. My main job was to bury people who lost their lives and offer prayers for them.”

Before Seria became a hero, she was nominated as a saint.

Assuming she’s been consistently working through that routine to this day…

She must have felt countless horrors with both hands.

“…Many people think that being a saint is always a benevolent and noble image, but in reality it’s not like that. Ms. Yuwol.”

Her red eyes seemed to pierce my soul.

“The existence of a saint is an aggregate of hatred toward the demons.”

She smiled sadly.

“…So honestly, I understand the situation, but it’s also true that you feel uncomfortable.”

It seemed that the country was like that too.

In her eyes, I was probably an ugly monster.

“And judging from your lie just now, I also found out that Mr. Yoo-wol is hiding something from the hero.”

Write. that’s dangerous

“Tell me.”

The saintess glared at me.

“The things you’re hiding.”

…If I tell you, will I die?

there was no way i could say

In fact, I am Amelia-sama’s disciple, and I’m here to disturb the hero! Wow!

When I found out that she was united by hatred for the demons, I was unable to move due to the divine power radiating from her body.

“…Sorry. I can’t tell you about that.”

“…It seems you haven’t figured out your position yet.”

I have something to say about this too. I cut her off.

“The fact that it was humans who burned Homeron Village. I think you knew about it, saintess.”

It was me who remembered Seria’s reaction to her words a while ago.

I don’t know if the saintess led it or not. She obviously knew something about the town’s destruction.

“…it was a necessary process.”

She bit her lip.

It was absurd.

What’s wrong?

On the subject of having seen so many demons playing with humans.

Do you let humans do the same thing?

I thought I was insane.

“The demons are indignant at killing humans, but it doesn’t matter that humans hurt innocent humans. Is this a story?”

A tantrum came from deep within.

“…don’t talk about anything without knowing anything!”

she yelled back at me.

“ha ha ha.”

Laughter came out.

“You don’t know anything? Me?”

I could honestly feel the anger rising to the top of my head.

No words of honor came out.

It occurred to me that there was no need to be polite to a b*tch like this.

“…You weren’t there.”

I spoke to her in a subdued voice.

“How innocent villagers died. I watched with my own two eyes.”

bang!

I hit the table with my fist.

“Even like this, you don’t know anything about me, so shut up!”

The saintess flinched at my violent reaction.

“…Mr. Yuwol. Calm down a bit.”

“Did I really look like that!”

I yelled at her.

For the first time since coming to the human world, I met someone who knew the truth about the village.

I never thought I could get an apology.

I had no intention of forgiving even if I apologized, but I thought that I would still have at least some sense of guilt or conscience for killing innocent people.

But everything I said was necessary, so you, who don’t know anything, stay still?

It was funny how I had such small expectations for a moment.

okay. People who know shame wouldn’t harm the powerless.

I took a moment to catch my breath and glared at the saintess.

“…saint.”

“…yes.”

As if the emotions in my words had been conveyed to her, she was looking at the table with her head down.

“After Seria’s journey is over, I intend to properly hold the imperial side accountable.”

She raised her head and looked at me.

“How can you do it? There’s no way Mr. Yu-Wol could do that on his own.”

“Haven’t you thought about what Seria, who has learned the truth, thinks of you?”

The saintess’ red eyes wavered.

“She is the representative of humans. She can’t harm humans…”

“If I had died. It would have happened as you said.”

But I live and breathe like this.

While waiting for the day I will take revenge on you from the bottom of the demon realm.

“I, your only mistake. I will ruin all of you.”
