2. The Lord is with you (13)

Delphine’s persuasion work was completed safely.

She sent me a silent plea with pathetically trembling eyes, but I firmly shook my head and refused. Of course, I had no intention of forcing them to accompany me.

I always respected Delphine’s opinion. Although my heart was overflowing with passion to develop my character with her, it was something I might have to risk my life for.

It was just that I kept working on it several times until I got a definite answer from her. Delphine, who had been crying, eventually answered with tears.

“Huh, I’ll go… Go, go… Black, that’s okay… … !”

I was moved to tears, so I had no choice but to admit her sincerity. It was human nature to want to reach out a helping hand if you wanted to change that much.

I asked her back several times, hoping to shake her heart, but the answer was the same each time. Even the honor of the Yurdina family was staked, so there was no way her mind would change.

Leaving her sobbing with overwhelming emotion, I left the hospital room.

The hallway of the temple made of marble was cold. The cold air felt like my head was cooling down a bit. It was then that a sense of incongruity came to me.

Did Delphine cry because she was genuinely happy?

It didn’t matter now. It was spilled water anyway, and for me, it was good because I was able to gain the powerful power of senior Delphine.

In practice dispatch, it was common for four people to form a group. I wanted to take the last hunting team as it was, but there was a problem with that.

It was that Celine and Seria were still in the second year.

The second year was a year in which practice was prohibited in principle. Of course, you can join the practice dispatch with the permission of your advisor, but you couldn’t take them during the final exam period unless you could substitute your grades with practice like me and Delphine seniors.

It was because it was obvious that it would adversely affect s*xuality.

Celine had a mission to revitalize the Hastur family in the future, and on Seria’s shoulders was the heavy responsibility of protecting the head of the Swords Department.

I couldn’t hurt them both. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that they were the two juniors I cherish the most at the academy.

Of course, Delphine should have kept her position as the head of the swordsmanship department, but it wasn’t my business.

Since the main version is such a competent person, I had no choice but to think that he might have hidden a little bit of it. To be honest, the distance between Delphine and I was vague.

We saw each other often, but we didn’t feel good about each other because we were only entangled in bad relationships.

In fact, it was somewhat impulsive to propose to Delphine to join the practice. At first, I only wanted to hear what happened with ‘me’, but I didn’t hear any of that story.

However, I was fortunate to have many opportunities. When I went out for practice dispatch for two weeks, I had no choice but to talk to each other, whether I like it or not.

It was around the time I had sorted out my thoughts and started walking.

Suddenly, my vision was filled with light. Noble silver hair, and bright pink eyes, as if drawn on pure white drawing paper.

was a saint While I was looking at her with my eyes wide open, she only looked back and forth between me and the hospital room with suspicious eyes.

“… … Why are you here? I heard that Sister Delphine is refusing all visits.”

I groaned and cleared my throat, averting my gaze.

Perhaps it was because the misunderstanding hadn’t been resolved yet, the saintess’ attitude was extremely fussy. It was also an uncomfortable opponent for me. Even though we only met face to face, I felt awkward for no reason.

“Well, there are circumstances… Rather, are you still suspicious of me?”

“… … Ha, of course.”

The saintess said to me with a snort as if she was dumbfounded.

“Yuren seems to have tricked me somehow, but I am different. The priests of the holy kingdom have something called spiritual eyes that can see the color of the soul. Of course, as a saint, my spiritual eye boasts a fairly reliable accuracy.”

When I heard that, I fell silent for a while. It was something I heard somewhere. Still, my lack of interest in the information meant that it was not very important.

Recalling the memories of the past, I asked cautiously.

“That, isn’t even the devil able to distinguish properly? I heard it doesn’t mean much.”

Yes. If the ability called ‘Spiritual Eyes’ was so mesmerizing, I would have paid a lot of attention to it. However, as is known, the Spiritual Eye was not a very useful power.

When it comes to the color of the soul, it was only at the level of a shimmering collection of turbid colors. No matter how well they tried to distinguish them, not many people could tell them apart properly.

Crucially, the problem was that the color of the soul looked different depending on the owner of the spiritual eye, even if it was the same person.

If the technology to distinguish the color of the soul had been passed on and developed, the story would have been different, but that was impossible for the spirit. No formal discrimination technique is known.

However, I heard that there are experts who are trained to distinguish the colors of souls from a very young age. They were said to be active members of the Holy Kingdom’s Heretic Inquisition, but except for such a special case, they had almost no spiritual eyes.

It was to the point where even the demons couldn’t be filtered out. The souls of humans who have contracted with evil spirits become turbid, but it was difficult to distinguish them since most humans have original turbid souls.

However, despite my doubts, the saintess maintained a dignified attitude. She puffed her shoulders in pride, accentuating the presence of her breasts.

It could not have been a truly sinful body. I made the sign of the cross in my heart and repented to the heavenly god on behalf of the saintess’ lewd body.

“My spirit is a little different. Because the color is clearer. Of course, I can’t pinpoint the detailed differences, but I can tell if they are the same person or not.”

“So, are the me then and the me now?”

“Yes, of course.”

The saintess’ answer was without hesitation. It meant that he was so confident.

Hey, he was right. According to Leto’s testimony, I was told that I was “me” from the future.

To be honest, I didn’t really feel it, but I had no choice but to believe it because it was Leto’s words. Leto was my best friend and one of the most intelligent people I knew.

Considering that the saintess’ testimony was evidence to support his opinion, there was nothing he could not understand. I nodded quietly and said.

“If you trust those eyes too much, you will get a serious nose injury someday. People’s eyes don’t fall short no matter how many times you doubt them.”

“Huh, Director Nam.”

Unfortunately, the saintess did not even accept my sincere advice. Rather, he spread his hands as if mocking, and even showed a slightly pinkish tongue.

And be, the sound of saying.

I was about to pull the soft flesh all the way, but stopped.

Because this place was a temple. There was no need to be punished for touching the angel’s most beloved maiden. As I tried to calm my chest, I caught my breath.

While I was looking at her disapprovingly for a moment, the saintess opened her eyes wide as if she had suddenly remembered. Her index finger tapped, tap, tap on his chin.

“By the way, did you have an affair with Sister Delphine? There’s no way the bad luck of the hunting festival was a chance… Could it be you who made Sister Delphine like that?”

At the same time, the saintess burst into laughter as if she was dumbfounded even after she said it.

“Hey, even you wouldn’t have done that. It’s more like a one-sided torture rather than a battle. First, the suppression was finished, and then pain and fear were continuously imprinted on it. A very vicious room, law… but… … ?”

However, the longer my silence lasted, the more the saintess’ face slowly began to harden. Even then, I just avoided her gaze without saying anything.

The saintess’ expression immediately crumpled.

“… … no way.”

A sigh escaped from my mouth. Even though I knew I wouldn’t believe it, I raised my hands in a sign of surrender just in case.

“First of all, I don’t know if you’ll believe me… I was not normal then.”

Of course, the saintess’ expression did not soften in the slightest.

She stared at me for a long time with eyes full of contempt,

“… … Garbage.”

Likewise, he left behind a voice full of contempt.

It wasn’t easy being a human being. I sighed and moved on.

There were still a lot of places left to visit today.

**

It was a coincidence that I found a familiar face while walking down the street.

It had been a long time since I had been looking for Emma. Since he was soon being dispatched for practice, it was to inquire about his regards and also to hear a little more about the star symbolizing the seven sins that we talked about last time.

At that time, according to Emma’s words, with the power of the seven stars, it is not impossible to reverse time.

It’s just that until now, not a single person has succeeded in borrowing the power of those stars, which meant that if they could borrow the power of the seven stars, they could go back in time.

It was the most promising possibility for now. Other than that, there was no possibility in the first place, so it was a natural story if it was natural.

I, who was moving my steps while thinking about the future, had no choice but to hesitate.

It was because I saw two familiar shadows in the distance.

It was Celine and Seria. Once, the two of them were walking together. They didn’t even meet each other’s eyes, they were just looking in opposite directions with expressionless faces.

I didn’t know why they went together to create such a cold atmosphere. But whatever the reason, I was lucky to be able to meet two of my favorite people at once.

With a happy heart, my hand naturally turned toward the sky. My mouth called the two girls.

“Celine, Seria!”

Then, the eyes of the two women, startled, turned to me. A blush began to appear on both of their faces. Celine and Seria approached me without anyone saying first.

“Brother Ian! I was just looking for it, and it worked.”

“Senior Ian… Bo, I missed you.”

Celine’s lively voice and Seria’s shy voice poured into me at the same time.

Stunned to hear that they were looking for me, I looked at the two women. Then Celine and Seria proudly handed me a document.

‘Permission to dispatch for training’, my eyes blankly focused on Celine and Seria after reading it.

“A substitute practice for the final exam, are you going? I thought we would be needed, so we persuaded our advisor together!”

“That, this, Ian senior hehe! ugh… Senior Ian, I want to be of any help… … .”

As always, the confident Celine and tongue-biting Seria were cute, so I smiled lightly. It couldn’t have been the juniors I was thankful for. Preparing documents in advance in case you need them.

So I couldn’t accept the favor of the two people even more. My head was slowly lowered.

“No, I don’t need it.”

“… … yes?”

Now it was Celine and Seria’s turn to look dumb. Tawny eyes and blue eyes looked at me at the same time.

So I replied with a faint smile.

“I already got it, vanguard.”

The faces of the two women slowly hardened. I added a word just in case the two of them were worried.

“Senior Delphine decided to go with me. do you know The woman. His personality isn’t great, but his skills are top notch. So there is no need for you to join us.”

and silence.

The tawny eyes grew cold, and the dark blue eyes began to lose their light as if they were sinking into the deep sea.

The air was rapidly giving off heat.
