Episode 101. Are you Clea by any chance?
Maris Academy.
Established on the border, this place emerged as a place of peace after the end of the war, and it is a place where many incidents occur because so many people gather.
Nevertheless, the reason why it is maintained without collapsing is because the repair is so fast.
Similarly, the friction that occurred between Heide and Lagrid came to an end after an agreement between the parties.
‘I apologize for the rudeness once again.’
‘No, I wish you all the best in your future.’
I didn’t say it out of politeness.
In the first place, doctrines that must be adhered to within the church sometimes stand above international law.
Moreover, a believer who has awakened the divine power must be careful in approaching with other denominations due to the problem of conversion or apostasy.
As much as he was responsible for many things, he would have reluctantly entrusted her personal affairs if things had not worked out.
‘Yes, if there were no teachers… ….’
No, if she treated my words as nonsense and moved on.
The miracle of astronomical probability that the sacrifice is reversed to the idol would not have occurred.
And such a miracle comes as an ideal symbol for those who serve God.
The child they took away will surely become the main axis of a new turning point as a symbol of the reincarnation of a saint under the protection of Lagrid.
Unlike in the past, where they have been whipping themselves for respect, in a more positive direction.
“You look in a good mood.”
As she foresaw such a future and smiled, someone just came out of her front door and started approaching the saintess.
A middle-aged man with impressive black eyes and black hair, just like himself.
It was Vincent, the leader of Heide’s Sword Holy Knights and his own guardian knight.
“Good morning. Holy Maiden.”
No. I will correct it.
Now he is not a paladin because he is not wearing armor, and since he is not wearing formal clothes, he cannot be called a saint.
“I am Sepin, a tour student, not a saint now. Father.”
“Oh, uh uh… …. That, it was Good morning. Daughter.”
Yes, I promised to postpone the father-daughter relationship for a while unless it was a public matter.
It’s only ‘acting’ to the end, but you should do what you’ve already decided to do with sincerity.
“Huh, good morning to you too, Father.”
Such a relationship would be one of the small joys I have felt lately.
Sepine smiled contentedly and then quietly turned her back on her father.
“Then I will go right away. If you don’t go before the school gates open, it will take a long time to get in.”
“Oh, wait. I won’t let you go until the middle.”
“You don’t have to. Your father must be busy too.”
“No, but… ….”
From noble mtl dot com
“Vincent.”
A snarky voice that came out suddenly.
With the low laugh that followed, Vincent’s face turned pale.
“Mi, I’m sorry. Because I’m too far-fetched…….”
“No, it could be because we are not used to it.”
Since he is also worried about himself, can’t he keep arguing?
Sepin, who even greeted her, passed through the alleyway leading to her home and set her foot on the school road.
It’s not Heide’s sanctuary, and it’s a place where even escorts like Vincent don’t have a place. Even so, there was no concern on the faces of passers-by.
Of course. It’s no exaggeration to say that this city’s ability to maintain public order is the best in the continent.
Of course, there would be no problem if I hid my identity and went to school. Even so, wouldn’t it be rather a nuisance if you put a threat to the people around you for no reason?
‘Thank you for your concern, but… …. It should be said that it is excessive.’
Even if you understand the mind, it is still burdensome.
No, to put it a little more extreme, it’s annoying.
After half a year, I’m at the age of coming of age, but I still feel frustrated because I feel like I’m being treated like a child.
“… Is this puberty?”
While walking down her street, Sepin felt her heart pounding at the unfamiliar sensation she had felt recently.
Puberty.
A time when you grow rapidly mentally and accept everything sensitively, especially when your defense mechanism is activated against interference toward yourself.
Even she herself, who had been chased by her responsibilities, had a reaction against that time.
It was only after I came to this city that I was directly aware of it.
‘Thinking about it, there have been a lot of changes for me too.’
The attendant from the convent wore a school uniform that he never had to wear.
She specialized in the acquisition of knowledge, which was limited to just gaining knowledge, and she gave first aid to students with her own hands rather than divine power, or interacted with them as a student rather than a saint.
And in most of the process, that person was present.
‘Seine Velvet, Maris’ health teacher and Kleas’ believer.’
Her
Her and her own gift and her own mentor.
Moreover, an existence like an ‘idol’ that was built after Heide, where one can even feel longing for it.
‘Teacher is a really great person. Even if it’s just the case that ended this time……. She did something that no one expected.’
She was just lucky…….
She couldn’t just say that. A miracle created by coincidence upon coincidence means, in other words, that it cannot be achieved if one of them is missing.
She was one of the pillars of such a miracle, and she was in charge of the most decisive part. She even took the gamble of her life against the inquisitors, whom she believed would never be broken, by projecting none other than their idols.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that in itself is blasphemy, boldly. And without the slightest hesitation.
‘If I had been in her shoes, would I have been able to do that?’
No, there was no way that was possible.
It is the same no matter who is present. Because she is the only one in this world who can do such a thing.
‘It’s not something that can be achieved with just respect. There is something about her that Heide and the members of Lagrid don’t have.’
Then what is it?
Sepin already knew the answer to that. She didn’t have to go far, and she could tell just by recalling the time when she held the child she had saved with her own hands.
Praise and respect for the miraculously born life…….
The moment when I went beyond him and gave the feeling of ‘love’.
‘Love, the most beautiful emotion humans can feel.’
It can be a very unfamiliar word if you mention it directly, but what the emotion says is not just for the opposite s*x.
For children or parents…….
Yes, the love she sees is closer to that.
She has the ability to be infinitely kind to anyone who is a child or a student of hers.
A generous person who takes it for granted to take care of them and wants to give them a chance to correct themselves by giving them a chance to correct their mistakes rather than blaming them…….
As he reflects on such an image, Sepin’s mind begins to associate with a so-called existence.
‘Is this how it feels to have a mother?’
I wasn’t sure.
Unfortunately, I lost my mother at a young age, so I didn’t know what it felt like to have a mother.
Just the feelings she showed toward her child.
She was similar to what her mother, who had conceived the child, looked like, so she just wondered.
‘Even if they’re not related by blood, you can have those feelings.’
Even if it’s not your birth family.
If you can show that kind of emotion just by leading and being led…….
‘Maybe something like that could happen in the relationship between a teacher and a student?’
She has been staying in Maris for quite some time now.
Every time Sepin thought of her, she was gradually awakening to the source of the throb she felt.
***
And, as usual, the present day when I set foot in her health room with that feeling in my heart.
“Teacher. Long time no see……. Uh?”
The moment I opened the door and stepped inside, the salutation that should have been said was swallowed up in exclamation.
The moment she entered the health room, she was greeted by an unexpected presence.
‘Teacher?’
Seine Velvet.
She settled down at the desk in the health room as usual, but as if she couldn’t stand her fatigue, she fell asleep with her head resting on her desk.
What shines on her is the warm sunlight coming through her window.
While the wind blowing from the gaps left open for ventilation rustled the fabric of the curtains, something illuminated by the light that was revealed from it was revealing her presence in front of her.
A being like the messenger of God often described in the Bible.
‘Thousand, four…… ?’
Such a being soon began to turn its head toward itself, as if it sensed itself.
A white dress, gray hair, and the same white-tinged skin.
The only place where there is color is the red eyes that are clearly opened toward him.
Along with the wings that sprouted from behind, the bandages wrapped around both arms were also white…….
“Maybe… ….”
The moment he got the bandage on his eye.
Sepin carefully mentioned another existence that came to mind.
“Are you Clea-sama, by any chance?”
Clea.
The main deity of the Cleas Church, which serves the god of medicine, and the existence served by my gift that lies dormant there.
Although its history is said to be only 20 years old, its body was described in detail in records handed down in Kleas.
A heterogeneous appearance, as if the color of the whole body had been lost.
Her object that symbolizes her is a staff with wings on which she rides two snakes, and her appearance as a god is said to have been created based on that tool.
The reason why she is a embodied figure, not just a result of imagination, is because she, like Lagrid’s Yeshua, is a god created based on a real person.
‘Asclepius.’
An unlucky seeker who tried to spread the science of medicine to this world hundreds of years ago, but ended up being burned at the stake in a witch hunt.
-Smiley.
Halo, blooming out of respect for such a great man, soon began to smile silently at those who recognized him.
I can’t even think of a being with dignity.
A smile that feels such innocence.
