84. The saintess protests! Give me holy water! (3)

Can Estiya’s addiction be completely cured?

Regarding that question, I think ‘no’.

It can be improved, but it cannot be cured.

Estiya’s addiction was long and deep.

“So, starting today, you must only eat holy water with a spoon.”

“What does that have to do with that!! Hate! I won’t!”

Estiya threw the spoon to the floor.

this drug addict.

Are you rebelling now?

“Then I’ll do without holy water-“

“Su, I’ll bring the spoon back!”

good night.

In addiction treatment, the cooperation of the person concerned is important.

Fortunately, Estiya seemed willing to participate in the treatment.

I took the spoon from Estiya’s hand.

“Estiya. Give me a spoonful of holy water. Try it once.”

open your mouth

holy water enters

I brought the spoon to Estiya’s mouth.

Estiya blushed and squirmed a spoonful of holy water.

Her expression softened in an instant.

“Hehehe… ! This is the taste… !! Jo… ! tasty… !”

Estiya started to feel happy as she shook her hand at the holy water she had tasted in a long time.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t fit.

However, Estiya’s happiness did not last long.

As much as he drank a little holy water, his medicine was also falling.

“… What-!! Why is it ending-!!”

“It looks like you’re trying a small amount for the first time, right? Did you always dump everything at once?”

“Of course! Holy water tastes better if you eat it all at once! So, give me holy water-!!”

swish-

Estiya reached out and tried to extort the holy water.

Of course, because of his short stature, he did not reach the Holy Water.

“Give me-! Give me holy water-! How can you eat so little-!! I can’t eat like that-!!”

“You have to do that to know. Eat slowly today.”

With one spoon, your eyes roll and you don’t lose your mind.

so.

one more spoonful.

“Come on, eat. Estiya.”

“No! I want to eat it all at once!”

But unlike his mouth, his actions are honest Estiya.

She immediately moved her mouth to the spoon.

yum-

“Give me more… !! I need more holy water… !!”

“How are you now?”

“Good mood-! So give me more holy water-!”

“Hmm… ”

Estiya was restless like a dog trying to pee right now.

I had a gut feeling that it was time to do something different.

First training for treatment.

“Estiya.”

“yes?”

“Do not eat this spoon for one minute.”

“Are you going to torture me!?”

“In return, I’ll give you two spoons if you wait one minute.”

“… !!”

patience training.

One of the reasons I think Estiya’s perfect treatment cannot be achieved is patience.

The moment she becomes able to use divine power.

You can produce holy water, and you can drink holy water whenever you want, like a water purifier.

‘Do you have the patience to overcome temptation with such an Estiya?’

none.

So, you need to develop the patience to overcome the temptation.

Because I can’t always manage Estiya’s holy water.

I placed a spoonful of holy water on Estiya’s face.

“Hold on for one minute.”

“Hey, I’m not stupid! You think you can’t stand that!?”

Estiya shouted confidently, staring at the spoon.

Saliva was already dripping from her mouth.

It looked like a waterfall.

‘… Still, it’s holding up pretty well.’

Are you holding up better than I expected?

Originally, I was thinking 10 seconds.

When I thought of Estiya’s usual self, the word patience didn’t suit her at all.

However, now.

Estiya had been holding on for 20 seconds.

yum-

“… You lasted 20 seconds, Estiya.”

“Uh, uh… ? That’s the muse… ? I didn’t stay… ?”

“Then, what is this empty spoon?”

“Your brother isn’t here… ?”

Your tongue is loose and you speak well.

Estiya whose tongue came loose after three spoons.

Estiya, who had lost a little taste, said to me with hazy eyes.

“I survived… ! That’s right… ! Give me holy water… !”

“You just ate and have no conscience, Estiya.”

“Oh I? I don’t stay… !! Give it to me-!!”

Was the switch pressed?

Estiya started to attack me using force.

She pushed me with both hands to get the holy water.

However, I was never pushed, and rather it was not me who fell out.

“Uh, uh… ?”

this is going to fall

widely-

I grabbed Estiya’s arm as he was about to fall.

Then, Estiya suddenly burrowed into my arms.

It was a completely unexpected action.

“… What the hell is this?”

“Hehehe… I caught you… !”

Awkward-

Estiya suddenly burrowed into my arms and rubbed her face.

It’s like a lack of affection.

I asked as I gently removed Estiya.

“… Estiya.”

“why!”

“How are you now? Can you figure it out yourself?”

“Of course not! A saint is good at that!”

Estiya exclaimed confidently.

“I am jigging! Drinking holy sugar and sipping… ! And, hugging sipper… !”

“who? me?”

“Yes-!! Sipper holding her brother… !”

Estiya puts away the pushed hand and clings to me again.

It felt like a cicada.

‘Is this enough for three spoons… But it’s different from last time.’

Acting according to your instincts is the same…

this time.

Though the mind is not clear, it exists.

In other words, Estiya now remembers today’s events even the next day.

‘Estiya. I’m sorry for you, but… ‘

Since you have already entered the realm of instinct, you cannot proceed with patience training.

So, today.

I need to hear your sincerity.

Estiya loses her reason and becomes faithful to her instincts when she drinks holy water.

I asked to hear her honesty.

“Estiya.”

“Yes… ? why call… !”

“I just said you wanted to hug me, why did you say that?”

“… just.”

Just?

Estiya blurted out the end of her words.

“I just did it because I was hugging my brother… no… ?”

“… It’s a little embarrassing.”

At first, the guy who only wanted holy water.

now he wants a hug from me

‘When you drank holy water until you passed out. Is it because you kept hugging me then?’

Although the dependence on holy water has decreased.

However, I feel like that dependence has moved on to me.

It wasn’t very sweet to me, but I didn’t really have a choice in the current situation.

“Hee hee, hug me… ! Give me holy water too… !”

“… Tomorrow you will remember the situation, are you okay?”

“It’s okay… !!”

… Tomorrow you’ll be screaming that you’re not okay at all.

However, what was in front of me was today’s Estiya.

I decided not to dry it.

Estiya in my arms muttered in a drowsy voice.

“Okay… Hi-Hi… Brother I like this… ”

“I wonder how it is good.”

“It’s just okay… I’m with my brother… It feels like having a family.”

“… I see.”

it’s family

Even calling me brother.

Was it for that reason?

Growing up in an orphanage, Estiya seemed to want family ties.

‘It’s different from the optimistic side you usually show, there’s a bit of a twist.’

I stroked Estiya’s head without saying a word.

Estiya quietly hugged her and closed her eyes.

Although he drank holy water, he did not shake his hands and looked stable.

‘Estiya wants holy water, but… ‘

In reality, maybe you want a family you can lean on.

And maybe that mind can reduce the symptoms of addiction.

I guessed that while watching Estiya sleeping in her arms.

morning.

Hare was helping Uncle as usual.

“Hare, bring the meal to Estiya’s room.”

“Yes, uncle… !!”

“Yes, thank you.”

Hehe, my uncle complimented me!

Hare to start the day fresh.

She headed to Estiya’s room excitedly.

smart-

“Estiya… ! I’ll go in… !”

“… ”

“Estiya… ?”

Why is there no answer… ?

what happened… ?

Feeling strange, Hare went into Estiya’s room without an answer.

kiik-

“Eh, Estiya… ? Where are you… !?”

Rain, it’s an emergency… !

There is no Estiya… !

Estiya would normally have been sleeping on the bed.

There is only a curled up blanket on the bed.

There was no human form to be seen in Estiya’s room.

‘… Still, your interest has diminished by one! Joe, good… !’

Oh no… !

Don’t think like this… !

Hare desperately hid a smile.

Then, to inform the uncle of this situation, he tried to leave the room.

“Hare, leave your food there… ”

“Eh, Estiya… ? Where are you… ?!”

“I’m here, hare… ”

peek-

Estiya poked her face out of the blanket.

Her face was flushed with embarrassment.

Hare tilted her head and asked.

“Estiya, where are you hurting… ? Why is your face like that… ?”

“… I don’t know! I don’t know! I don’t know! Don’t ask-!!”

“Hey, why is he like that?”

Gyaa-!!

Estiya kicked off the blanket and started to glow.

“I! I! Why did you do that yesterday-!! uh, uh-!! kill me-!! Wanna die-!! Aww-!!”

bang-

Estiya remembered what had happened yesterday.

‘Why did I do that yesterday-!! Uh-huh-!!’

No matter how much I thought about it, I was smitten.

‘How can you cling to your brother… ! Just, just flirting… !!’

bang-

Estiya couldn’t stand the indignation and attacked the blanket.

Did Hare realize something by seeing Estiya like that?

“… ”

Without saying anything, I left the room with rice on the desk.

To Hare, who does not know the situation, that Estiya’s appearance…

‘Ah, uncle… ! Estiya is crazy… !’

Very scary.

It was scary enough to be terrifying.

For Hare, being crazy for no reason was the scariest law.
