The Nature of Possession

195 – EP.9 Saint Sanissou’s Week-1

***

From that day on, I never directly went to the training ground to coach her.

Maria abandoned the training method of wielding a sword.

My daily life has also changed a bit.

He also reduced his appointments for meals with the nobles he had been with every day. It was the result of my direct request to the Pope.

The pope did not hide his regretful feelings, but he arranged the schedule without saying anything.

As meal appointments were reduced, there were many cases where I stayed in my room during work hours as I had more time in my official schedule.

Originally, I would have taken a walk or something, but it was because I was a bit fed up with the gaze that still didn’t fade.

Therefore, I read the Bible in my room and prepared for a sermon to be given someday.

At my invitation, Maria quietly meditated in her room, sharpening her sword.

At first, she strongly refused, but when she gently teased me that using the scrap time like this would increase my sleeping time, she quickly agreed.

“…….”

I see Mary sitting in a chair, meditating with her eyes closed.

I don’t know if he’s just closing his eyes or if he’s thinking about the sword path in his mind, but since he’s a sincere personality, whether it’s porridge or rice, he’s sure to come out with results.

keep looking at her

Maria’s shoulders rise and fall.

And with that, her huge chest moves.

Oh… I see it every time, but it’s very irritating.

It’s an overwhelming size over all the dimensions I’ve been through to get here.

Doesn’t it seem like the Yeomjin Ambassador is a little short of that size?

While I was thinking about that, I met Maria’s gaze when she opened her eyes before I knew it.

Her mysterious green eyes stare at me.

And a very pale pink color begins to float on her cheeks.

Maria’s eyes slightly missed me.

These days, I feel like I’m not trying to look straight at my face.

“Sir, Holy Son. What were you looking at?”

“Sacred Power Pouch…”

“yes?”

“Ah, ah! I was looking at Sister Maria. How is your training going?”

hurriedly correct words Let’s be honest, Inho. don’t speak rudely

“I’m doing as you said… but I don’t know yet. It’s good that you can practice meditation without moving your body…”

Maria speaks in a timid voice.

Well, I’ve been practicing wielding a sword all my life, but since I changed my training method overnight, I wonder if this is right.

“Have you realized anything today?”

When I asked softly, Maria pondered and opened her mouth.

“I think you understand the meaning of the great sword.”

An understanding of the weapon you are using.

It was the first thing anyone wielding a weapon should realize.

“Can you tell me?”

“I thought about the weight of the greatsword itself. If it is a greatsword that is heavier than other weapons, you can give a big impact to the opponent just by swinging the sword accurately without cutting yourself.”

I unconsciously nodded my head.

“According to the Holy Son’s words, if I put my will into the sword… I will wield the weapon and put my thoughts into crushing the opponent.”

Perhaps gaining confidence from that response, Maria continued with a more confident voice than before.

A weapon is not just a tool. It is a means of expressing one’s will.

It was a lesson taught by my master.

However, Maria had not been informed by anyone, but she realized this through a short meditation.

To explain it from the point of view of martial arts, it can be expressed as ‘I gained a small enlightenment.’

“Then is there a difference between cutting and crushing?”

Ask questions to further develop her ideas.

“I think it’s the difference in sophistication.”

“Looks like you’re close to the answer.”

“thank you.”

When I praised her with a satisfied smile, Maria blushed.

– dang dang

A bell is heard in the distance. It’s time for dinner soon.

“Shall we do this for today?”

I got up from my chair, sorting out the notes on the desk, and Maria got up with me.

“Ah, Sister Maria.”

“yes.”

“If it’s just crushing, wouldn’t a mace be better? It would be easier to handle than a greatsword.”

indifferently ask questions

“ah….”

As if caught off guard, Maria’s eyes widened.

“Tell me by tomorrow.”

As I hit the desk with the paper I had cleaned up and said, her shoulders went down.

I feel like a teacher who gives homework.

“I… Saint.”

As I was thinking about what to have for dinner tonight, Maria called me.

She wiggles her hands and looks at me.

why do you do that

“There’s a little time left before dinner. Can I move the laundry first?”

“I thought it was taken by an apprentice nun.”

When asked again, Maria answered while fiddling with her fingernails.

“Yes, yes. That’s right. There is training for all nuns apprentices today. It will be late after the training is over, but if I move the laundry now, it will save me some work.”

Hurrying with her hands and feet, she desperately explained.

“Ah, yes. Sister Maria, do whatever you want.”

I nodded, and Sister Maria hurriedly ran into the bathroom next to the room.

Before long, I came out with a basket full of my clothes.

“Well, then I’ll move it and come back. It won’t take long.”

“Yes. Please go slowly.”

Seeing the back of her who was already as far away as I was, I closed the door.

***

It’s late, Maria. I’m going to starve to death?

Maria, who said she was coming soon, was late.

I don’t know if he fell while coming, or if he came really slowly when he was told to come slowly, but a growling sound came from his stomach earlier.

– smart

Just as the skin on my stomach clung to my back, I heard a light knock at the door.

“Yes, come in.”

I answered roughly, thinking it was Maria, and a girl with a young face opened the door and came in.

“Well?”

The girl who met my eyes gulped down her saliva and spoke to me with a very nervous face.

“Ah, how are you? Seo, saint? I came to… get laundry… water… but it’s gone.”

As if he had made a big mistake, the child’s voice grew quieter.

“Oh, Sister Maria took the laundry. There was a full training for nuns today, right? You worked hard until the evening.”

I leaned down, leveled my eyes, and answered the girl gently.

“Education… Education? That… Ah, anyway Ma, Sister Leah took it. Thank you.”

The girl bowed her head and left the room again.

“cute.”

Looking at the door the girl had left, I muttered involuntarily.

Come to think of it, I think the Antonio who asked me a question in the Bible interpretation class was just that age.

I promised to meet you again and tell you about the book of Emilio, but I forgot.

I’ve put the contents of the Bible in my head to some extent, so I’ll see you soon.

– Tak Tak Tak

I hear someone running down the hallway.

I think it’s Maria.

At the count of five seconds, Maria, out of breath, opened the door.

“No, sorry for being late.”

Why are you here now! I wanted to say, but I greeted her with the most benevolent face.

“It’s okay. Mealtime isn’t over yet, so let’s go.”

Maria let out a heavy breath. His face is also a little red, so it seems that he came at full speed.

Well, since you’re not in charge of the laundry, you might have lost your way.

“Huh… Haa…”

I can’t help but worry about the sound of my breathing.
