A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 325: The Cathedral Part 2
Sofia, who proclaimed Sarah and Neddy spirits, and the spirituals, who sobbed and cried when they heard the proclamation.
It's a strange sight from Reurus. However, as a spiritualist, a spiritual object of faith appeared in front of his eyes, and it may be taken for granted as a reaction.
With the exception of Sofia and Gilba, all the spirituals who were there are kneeling on the floor, trembling with joy and excitement as they weep. The Reurus who saw it pulled one step behind him unconsciously.
(Though he had a suggestion, it might have been sooner....)
From Reurus, it looks like a dangerous crowd anyway.
The doctrine had a pastoral impression, but those who believed in spiritualism - and who thought it belonged to the cathedral of the King's City - were “here.”
Even if Sarah and Neddy were taken away in a gunshot wound and enshrined on the altar, Reurus would not be surprised. Of course, I'll do my best to resist.
"I know how you feel, but please stop. The Spirit is confused.
Sophia was the only one who forgave the spirituals. Does the position of a spiritual teacher make it so, or does the position of a marquis make it so?
"If you two were recognized as spirits, can I go home like this?
Sophia smiles nicely when Reurus asks her not to stop, seeping darkly.
"I'm sorry, but please hang out with me for a while. If you come back just by recognizing yourself as a spiritualist, there will be no standing as a spiritual believer."
…………
In response to Sofia, Reurus inadvertently silenced. You could have let Sarah decline through the "Idea Call," but she hesitated because she couldn't read the other person's reaction.
"Today is a really good day... and here you are. I'm afraid you're not feeling well here, and I'll talk to you in the office."
Having heard such Sophia's words, Reurus silently sends an eye contact to Gilba. Then Zilba nodded silently, and took Eliza and the others to Sofia.
Sophia was guided to a room that was further from the place of worship earlier. Even in the Catholic Church, the general believers can't step in, and the spirituals who were sobbing while watching Sarah and Neddy will not follow.
"Excuse me, Mr. Gilba, can you wait outside the door? I don't think anybody's coming, but I'd like to ask you to be careful."
"No, that's...."
When Sofia offered, Reurus stopped as if he didn't want to. But Sofia looks at Zilba with a smile on her face.
"Sometimes when spirituals ask me... if it's going to come true, I just want to talk to Sara-sama and Neddy."
"Absolutely not. If Reurus isn't with us, I'm leaving."
"... yeah, I hate it. Eliza and Meer together."
Listening to Sofia, Sarah and Neddy react immediately. The attitude is more obvious than ever and does not seek to hide its aversion to Sofia.
Are you trying to pull Mr. Gilba away? But even so, the reason is....)
Is there something Jilba really doesn't want to hear from the Spirits, or are the Reurus alone confident that it will be rounded up?
Gilba was staring at Sofia, but eventually sighed to express her dissatisfaction.
"May I ask you one thing?
Let me ask you something.
Reurus is surprised at Zilba's unusual attitude, but Sofia answers plainly. Zilba said, staring at Sofia like that.
"I only believe in spiritualism“ teaching ”and spirituality, not spiritual teachers... don't forget that"
Yeah, I know what you're doing.
Zilba's words, which can be called threats, will not break Sofia's smile. Gilba shook her head at the look of Sofia and called out to Reurus without hiding a voice in particular.
"Call me if you need anything. I will help you even if you destroy the door."
"I'm scared... you're the only Spirit who can say that."
Sophia laughed happily when she heard Zilba's words.
"Would you like something to drink? My recommendation is green tea from Zipang, and I can taste it with suffering."
Sofia says something like that when she goes to the office. He is turning his back and trying to prepare the drinks as he says, so as not to be alert to Reurus and the others.
Sofia's office was quite large, nearly twenty tatami mats wide. Like the exterior of the cathedral, the walls are made of stone, the floor is covered with red carpet, and a large wooden desk is placed by the window for business.
There were two sofas in the middle of the room where three people could sit facing each other to entertain visitors. There is a desk in the sofa, and it seems like a simple meeting could be arranged.
The windows were glass windows, but like the interior of the cathedral, lighting magic was hanging on the wall. Therefore, it is not dim, and the room is filled with clean and bright light.
There are several wooden shelves by the wall lined with books and documents. Sophia, facing the corner of the room, grabbed the teapot and cup and asked as she turned around.
Or would you like some tea? I can get you some fruit squeezed water. "
"No, thank you."
That's right, I'm not hungry enough to drink what's served in this situation. So when Reurus refused, Sofia began fishing on the next wooden shelf.
Well, shall I serve you just tea? There are baked goods made in the famous confectionery shop in King's Landing. "
No, thank you.
"... it looks like you've been hated."
Reurus alone managed to poison her, but Eliza and the others didn't. I don't think so, but there may be a special poison available, like Ruvillia was drunk.
As a result, Sofia smiled bitterly at the desk without receiving any drinks or food.
"Even though I can't help being alerted, it hurts a little...."
"I'm sorry, but I don't have the courtesy of dealing with the“ urban people ”who live in King's Landing... please forgive me."
Sophia sits in her chair with a deep smile, Reurus says, alerting herself.
"Well, at least sit in the chair. I can also feel the spirit standing up and talking."
In Sofia's words, Reurus urged Sarah and Neddy to sit on the sofa. The opponent is a spiritual teacher, but also a nobleman. Also, Reurus, Eliza, and Meer remained standing behind the sofa because sitting on the sofa restricted movement during an incident.
Sofia couldn't help but smile at the way the Reurus looked.
"You don't have to worry about manners. I have a position, but as a spiritual teacher, I am in contact with all of you."
"It would be helpful if you could say so. Please treat Sarah and Neddy without worrying about their position."
Reurus tells her as a social resignation. I don't think it's a marquis, I think it's impossible to be a spiritual teacher, but I thought I could get some kind of response from Sofia.
However, Sofia's expression changed when she heard Reurus's words.
Until then, the bitter smile disappeared, and the edge of his mouth was lifted and he smiled.
"Oh, really? Well then, let me talk to you in an easy way. Even if you can't help yourself, it's troublesome because your shoulders are stiff."
…………
The unexpected Sofia leopard makes Reurus look good.
Even the atmosphere surrounding Sofia has changed, and the attitude has changed to something that makes you feel comfortable.
Sofia puts her right elbow on the hind of the chair and puts her cheek cane on where she threw her manners. And when I poured the green tea into the cup I had prepared for myself, I started drinking it happily.
"I said I don't need it, and I'll just let you drink it. Ah, this bitterness is unbearable."
"... what?
Reurus, who is paranoid about Sofia's actions. Even Sarah and Neddy, who were displaying disgust towards Sofia, have rounded their eyes.
"By the way, how's your stupid sister?
"... eh?
Reurus was delayed in responding to the questions that followed. Then Sofia thought Reurus didn't understand, so she took a sip of green tea and then supplemented it.
"Stupid girl, stupid girl. You're in the abandoned city of Laval, right? A spiritual teacher who resembles me, but some don't resemble me."
"... you mean Estelle...?
"Yes, that ester. As for me, I wanted to hear more about you than about the Spirit... so what? How are you?
"Eh, ah, yes... I'm fine... right?
A completely obsessed Reurus answers honestly. Sofia nodded to the confused Reurus many times to see if she was convinced.
"Well then... what's the matter with you guys? What do you mean," I tailored it to you ”?
Sofia sharpens her lips to the point of dissatisfaction, but Reurus does not catch up with her recognition and delays her response.
(... eh? What's going on?
If this were a battle, the Reurus would be so lethal. However, Sofia enjoyed watching the revulsions, and now began to chew baked confectionery.
"Oh... do you prefer the way you talked earlier? If you're from the Waste City, it's easier to talk if you're crushing it like this.
"... well..."
While answering that, Reurus develops consciousness. Sofia smiled at it.
"Courtesy, attitude, it's troublesome, and you don't have to decorate it. I declare Sophia-Yer-Maréliy-Farnes not to blame for any disrespect as master of the Farnes family and spiritual teacher. Ah, of course it's just for this occasion.
"... are you sure?
The attitude is too different and Reurus wonders if he should be alert or weak.
"It's okay. You can't even say what you want to say if you say it's polite, right? Why do you think I threw Gilba out?
Sofia looks at the office door, but when she sees it, Reurus leans her head inside.
(Is this... an act? Or is this the nature of vegetarianism? You're making it easier for us to talk?
As a nobleman, you will do one of your belly tricks and two nose songs. Sofia's leopard freak is not part of that.
What did Sofia think when she saw the vigilant reuses? Sofia put her feet together while sitting in the chair and lifted the edge of her mouth.
"It's normal for humans to change their attitudes to suit each other, right? It's easy for you to talk, and I feel comfortable talking... just think about it."
As she talks, Sofia throws baked sweets into her mouth. There were no pieces of courtesy there, and Reurus and the others unexpectedly looked at each other.
"We have a lot to discuss... right? And yet, it's pointless to be wary of waste, to be careful of words, to be attentive. Communicate the words you want to convey in easy-to-speak language. It reduces the confusion of perception."
Sophia drinks green tea, adding that it won't completely disappear. Reurus roared carefully at Sofia's attitude.
(I didn't think it was going to work... but this one looks tougher than I expected.)
Realizing that Sofia was completely caught up in the pace, Reurus retightened his temper.
