Apostle of the Gods

Rosetta says slowly, snapping.

"But Will is very strong."

Xenovia laughs when she hears that.

"Yes. Exactly. One pillar is full of talent."

"... it may be so"

I guess Rosetta can't argue either because of the actual example of me.

"Milt's device is very handy, but there are as many exceptions"

"But I'm still immature..."

"You don't have to worry about it there"

"I can't believe you don't care."

"Look, Rosetta. If you're not immature, you don't need to be a disciple in the first place."

So Zenobia took a sip of tea.

"There is no such thing as being able to grasp my strength. There's nothing you can do to grasp your talent."

Towards Rosetta listening in silence, Zenobia continues.

"Besides, Regina seems to be willing to let Rosetta take the exam if she wants to be an apprentice"

"Is it an exam?

"Oh. I don't know what it is. If you really don't have talent and strength, you won't be able to pass the exam."

…………

Shut up and Rosetta thinks.

"Rosetta. I won't impose it. I assure you, it's no harm to refuse this story."

"Yes, thank you"

"You just have to think slowly and make a decision"

Then we left the chief's office.

After I left the room, they all walked silently for a while.

Then Rosetta says with a serious look.

"Um, Will, Teena, Altie. I need to talk to you."

"Yeah. Fine. We'll all be in my room in a little while after dinner."

"I don't mind that."

"Will, thank you"

"Yes, I'll be waiting in my room for Will to come and get me."

Everyone stays put and goes to the nursery, where they welcome Salia, Rose and Lunlun.

Then we moved to the dining room, where we all had dinner.

Salia and Rose seemed very happy throughout the meal.

"Oh dear! You're with everyone!

"Right. Does Salia prefer to eat with everyone?

"Suki-kun"

"Rozu no Suki!

"Hey."

Salia and Rose seem to be close. I'm glad I'm just watching.

At the end of the meal, everyone goes back to their room once.

I'll go back to my room, too, and take a bath with Salia full, Ciro.

Then Rosetta, who bathed, brought Rose in.

Because I feel sorry for leaving one toddler behind.

After I put Salia and Rose to bed, I'm gonna go get Artie and Teena.

Finally, there's four of us in my room, so we'll start talking.

By the way, Lunlun is with Salia and Rose in the bedroom.

And Ciro and Full are on my knees.

"You know what? What do you guys think?

Rosetta says with a serious look.

"Somehow, that's a vague way to ask"

"I'm sorry."

You don't have to apologize.

Rosetta is confused, too.

You must not have even considered the possibility of becoming a brave apprentice.

"I think I should be a disciple."

"I too think Rosetta should be a disciple of the brave."

"You think so?

"Yes, I think so."

And Alty nods yeah and indicates consent.

"Rosetta. Is there anything you care about being a brave apprentice?

"Concerns......"

"I don't care if you're uncomfortable or anxious."

When I say that, Rosetta thinks with a serious face.

"... um, I think it's an honor."

"Right."

"But I can't get over it."

"I mean, you're not sure?

"I think so. If you were as talented as Will, I guess not."

I guess Rosetta says that because she hears I'm going to be a disciple in the mill, too.

My apprenticeship is only formal, pre-construction, and quite apart from Rosetta's apprenticeship.

So it's hard to say anything from my point of view.

"What did Teena think when she asked me if I was going to be a disciple?

"You're just like Rosetta. I was wondering if I was really good."

"So, how was your actual apprenticeship?

"Um, yeah. I was wondering if I could still do it."

"You still think that?

"Really? But I also feel motivated to do the opposite."

Rosetta looks into Teena's eyes.

"Um, Teena. What's the big deal?

"That's right. I'm not surprised. Maybe there's going to be."

Nor is there a particularly difficult directive.

It's not like they're going to give you a lot of challenges or very difficult ones.

"What does instruction look like?

"Now that my master, Dion, is far away, the general teacher is teaching me."

He hasn't told Teena yet that Dion is back.

I wish I could tell you, but I guess Dion is busy with Dion.

Tina and Alti stayed up late as they talked about mentoring from Zenobia.
