"Repentance...?
What Janet says is not consultation or information, but repentance?
"Yes, the new church magazine and the Sister are doing it. You can do as much as you want the saints to confess."
"I don't mind.... Does this lead to Katie's story?
I thought it would have been better to avoid putting the name on the table, but Janet nodded quietly while hardening his expression a little.
Well... then, it's worth asking.
Confession, huh? I've never done it, but I'm sure it'll be okay.
I nod to Janet's request and look down the stairs in silence.
Magic lights shake in the basement where the moonlight doesn't reach.
The sound of the wind, the sound of the cloth rubbing in the dungeon that can't even reach the voice of the insect... the sound of the paper flipping.
……
Janet is reading the book at hand.
"The Legend of the Virgin"... a book that Janet has loaded many times.
I had Janet tell me the details, and Emily listened. Vince also heard about the scene of the hero.
Eventually, the sound of turning the page stops.
Turning to me... there was a chapter of love.
"... the beloved Virgin. The most famous story of the Virgin Legend I've read many times."
……
I'll listen to Janet's monologue in silence.
Janet did say "penance." Then it's different for me to stop talking with each other.
"Amy liked it, too. After the princess, it was the most girly story."
……
"I told everybody. And I loaded it many times. I think I memorized everything."
Once the book was closed, Janet sighed and lost sight of the stairs.
"... I've been looking into how the award of a profession is done. According to the" Goddess Selection Ceremony ", what are the criteria for selecting people? Is there a possibility of obtaining the desired occupation?"
I knew how greedy Janet was gathering knowledge, but I didn't even know that he was putting a knife in the goddess's selection ceremony...
"In conclusion, yes."
...!?
I was going to listen to Janet, and my heart jumps out.
Is there a selection criterion for the occupation?!
"The contents were in a book that examined the listed professions and births. I don't know why such a book is here or how credible it is. But better than not reading anything."
……
"Summarizing the contents of the book... suggests that we have selected a certain tendency from the person's birth, personality, abilities, etc. And there was... personality and abilities in it. There may be some information about births, but there's not enough information to be credible."
That's right... I think Civila used to say something like my "nature as a saint" a lot. Besides, if we were born, we'd be orphans of the countryside. It is strange that even though he is not a royal aristocrat, he has become a hero party. Probably not here.
"I was glad to hear it had an impact. And... I didn't tell anyone about it."
——
Sure. I've never even heard of Janet before.
"The reason is simple. I wanted everyone to be a warrior. Because I had a sword. That's why I... wanted to be a priest behind everybody's back. That's why I gathered my knowledge."
We're all warriors.
Janet, the priest.
It's... it's like...
"As a result, Vince became a brave man, Amy became a knight, and I became a wise man. Honestly, I didn't expect this to happen at all."
Goddess selection ceremony... I can still remember that day.
"It was a very good result. I thought everything was going to be ideal."
I wanted to be a priest, Janet.
Janet became a wise man at the top of the priest.
And... Janet loaded "The Legend of the Virgin" more than anyone.
"But there was the craziest part."
... definitely. You mean me.
"I can't express my feelings at that time... Everyone bless you and become a superior. When the four of us were still talking about the future. From then on, I had an unspeakable feeling in my heart."
Janet... you...
"I wanted to be a Virgin. And I wanted to be there to support everyone. That's what I wanted to be. But the way I chose... was stupid. [M] It was shallow... so it was inevitable that I lost..."
The sound of closing the page of The Legend of the Virgin reverberates in the quiet basement.
"I was the one who threw Russell out of the party...."
For the first time since I started talking, Janet turned to me and told me a little bit.
