Extraordinary – Ordinary – Soap!

I was told, I was stuck breathing. I don't have a voice.

"Is there anything I can do for you or the Virgin?

In the slightest moonlight, I can only stare at Mr. Ceres' day-colored hair blurring. The blue eyes, now stained with darkness, look gray.

"I really should have noticed the position the Virgin was in sooner, but it's embarrassing, it wasn't until you got here that I realized. When you came, the Virgin changed. [M] I didn't change by magic, I changed by your leaning in. And when I saw the unusual Virgin, I finally realized that what we were doing to her was terribly selfish. I'm really sorry to hear that."

Ms. Ceres, thinking of Maria, lay down her eyelids.

"I should have thought better."

If I had watched Mr. Ceres like that, I would have said that if I had noticed.

The emotions that cut the weir once, they don't hold up. I did not see Mr. Ceres' face, but continued my words, staring at his own toenails.

"I should have thought better about what would happen if I took Maria's place, who is scared. Protect it. What a big thing to say, I never thought of it then that I was the one who hurt you the most. But if you think about it, you'll know."

If you're scared, you might as well have held hands and been on your side.

With encouragement, you may have just had to see Maria purified.

If you don't act as a substitute. I think so, but I can't change what I've already done.

But I don't know what I can do now. It's not about apologizing and being forgiven, or if you stop using magic anymore, it's not about being forgiven either. Now that we know that "Chavon” can purify the Celestial Tree, we can't help but be told that it will be parted in two hands and purified once and for all.

"I don't know what to do. I'm already afraid to use magic. When I thought it would only work to remove dirt, I didn't hesitate to use it or anything because I thought it would rather please people. When I could protect you all at the castle, I figured I'd do my best to know there was something I could do. But when you know that it can hurt people, you're scared."

I am weak.

It's too pitiful to cry to Mr. Ceres, who doesn't know what to do, but can't hold that alone.

I'm sorry, Maria.

If I needed you, I couldn't help but recruit you into this world.

I can't believe I show it in front of you when I can purify it even if it's not you.

"I did something to Maria that I couldn't apologize for. If I had known my abilities earlier, Maria would not have lost everything, nor would she have lost her place if I hadn't purified her."

It is my fault that you relied on me and didn't float and think ahead.

As I held back my desire to cry, my warm arms wrapped me softly.

"Se...... ugh!?"

"You can't carry me in there alone."

Embracing me fluffily, Mr. Ceres said gently.

"You weren't the first one to hurt that one. It's us. I should have leaned closer to that one to understand and give it to you. That way, the Virgin would never have lost sight of your whereabouts, nor would she have let you take her place."

Mr. Ceres took a deep sigh over my head as he interrupted the words.

"Isn't it the Virgin who decided to leave the purification to you? Otherwise you won't take the initiative and if you think the Virgin's personality forced her to chase her whereabouts, I think she's more angry and noisy. I've actually done that before. I'm sure he knows he won't, and now he's trying to make a compromise in himself."

Guess what, says Mr. Ceres in a gentle voice.

"The Virgin seemed to see you as a dear friend, and she'd smile again when she calmed down."

"Mr. Ceres......"

"Later, my suggestion, when this journey is over, will you find a way to return the Virgin to her former world? I think it would be better if there were not only a way to live as queen of this country, but also a way back to the original world, to return to the price that he paid and what he did. Although it's up to the Virgin to choose which one."

To Mr Ceres's suggestion I tasted the thought of my eyes waking up.

That I can give it back to Maria, who was forced to bring me here.

If I could return you to your original world, would it be a little atonement to her?
