Egret

Chapter 26. The First Eye

After Judas' confluence with Edan and Baikal, the chapel became murky.

I used to tailor my own scenery to Baikal, but Edan wasn't always a chatty person. Instead, there was one more existence to complement that point.

“Beep!”

Aslan is terrified by the head of a reptile that protrudes out of Baikal's arms and retreats.

“De, de, dragon? ”

“Huh, what a dragon he is. It's Wyvern, Wyvern. ”

Baikal, who released Fluby on the floor of the chapel, smiled at Aslan, who had fled to the wall somewhere.

“What makes you think of a dragon when you see it? ”

“Well, it's the same as what I saw in the book..... ”

Blue, transparent scales like glass shavings, short forelegs and full hind legs that can keep you seated compared to your body length, and wings and long tails that remind you of bats.

It certainly resembled a dragon, but it was the size of a chicken at most.

Although he made excuses for the well, Aslan was embarrassed that he was scared of himself, so he shut up.

Fluvi, who snorts on the floor, blinks at the large orange pupil and circles around. Little Wyvern, who had just woken up, yawned to stretch out his wings like a feather.

The size was impressive, but sharp teeth peering through the throat informed me that Fluvi was not a pet.

“It's called Fluvi. ”

As Aslan turned his curiosity toward Wyvern, Judas gave him his name.

The eleven year-old boy sought understanding with a face so utterly recalled.

“My name is Fluvi……. May I draw it? ”

“Huh? Whatever you want. He's so red and he's walking around so well that he won't stand still. ”

Fluvi was already joyfully walking around the chapel.

Aslan bites the pen into his mouth and opens the training ground, when Baikal, who was recognized as Fluby's butler, teaches him instead.

“It's okay. It's easy to draw naturally around. ”

“Yeah? Isn't it more convenient to stay still? I don't know much about painting, though. ”

“I'm not an expert either. I'm not trying to draw it the same way as if it were on a plate. Just..... ”

In the meantime, Fluvi is touching the candlestick with astonishing eyes.

Aslan looks at Wyvern with his tail on his tail and takes the pen on white paper.

“What I want to draw is a feeling. ”

“Feeling?”

“Yes, I feel like I'm drawing this right now. ”

Children's words are sometimes so intuitive that they can be difficult.

Baikal was troubled by Aslan's story of wanting to make sense and shut up. Edan, who had an excellent sense of movement, was not so different from Baikal about art, but was also silent.

Aslan was already passionate about painting.

Interference.

Someone entered the chapel, where only the sound of wailing and pen squatting was subtle. At the sound of the old hinge scratching the air, everyone's gaze turned towards the door, except Aslan.

“Er……. ”

The pink hair scratched over the cool white neckline.

The hairstyle was stunning with a mint ribbon tied with stubborn hair on both sides. The girl staring into the chapel with her hands on the doorknob was exceptionally white.

And the dark yellow uniform skirt, in contrast to him, was salamander on his knees.

“Huh?”

The girl immediately recognized Judas. Cream pupils with surprises were round and large.

The winter wind spirit hovering around her burst into laughter, causing a mixed breeze of snow grains to hook up.

Judas smiles calmly as he passes through his cool hair.

“It's been a long time, Livech. ”

“Ugh!”

Then Livech's dismal complexion brightened, as the girl who had been stunned hardened.

“Brother!"

“ ……. ”

“Oh, no. Judas..... No, ‘I see you’? ”

It was a seven-year-old Libech who took the same classes at the Spirit Institute in Lubach five years ago.

With great qualities as a spiritist, she was still with the Wind Spirit Beaver. The difference between the old and the new is that rain has now materialized, revealing itself, and the power to deal with it has become even stronger.

Judas grew up and became a 12-year-old girl.

Livech, who had the title of Judas as as a habit, grabbed his lips awkwardly and greeted him.

Seeing that, Judas, who felt like watching his granddaughter grow up, laughed loudly.

“Haha! I'm awkward all of a sudden, because I'm being polite too. Are you all grown up now? ”

Now that he knew he was shy, Livech lowered his head, kicking his toes to the ground.

“I was a child then. Wh...? ”

“Yes. Treat yourself like you used to. ”

“Really?! Can I do that?...? ”

“Well, it's mine. Rebekah is still Agatha. ”

“Hmph. I'm not a baby now. ”

As fat as it was, it was like a child in a memory that had no glory.

"Oh, my God. That's the cutest kid I've ever seen." It was very big!

"I see. Kids grow up really fast.

Uni and Carney also recognized her and made a happy interior.

Sometimes it's a little too bad. It would be cute to grow up a little slower.

Uh-huh. But being young also means being weak. Fast-growing will help you survive.

"It's okay! I'll protect you!

"Yes! I can protect you too!

…… Huh? I feel like I have a limited target right now.

"What kind of fat fuck is that? I've been talking about Greg since the beginning.

“ ……. ”

Judas' expression became somewhat irregular after listening to the spirits' conversations.

He thought to himself, saying hello to Chuck Libech, who had not heard.

‘Spirits usually like children. ’

That's why most of the time the spiritist contracted with the Spirit was as a child.

Spirits appear best in the eyes of children and lose interest as they grow older. Once I signed a contract, I would stay with him until the day I died, but when I became an adult without a contract with the Spirit, I would leave him no matter how talented he was.

Whether you are an adult, an elderly person, or even reborn, you were always blindly loved by the Spirit.

There were still many spirits beside him who could not sign a contract with the Iron Barrier of the Spirits Kings.

‘Thinking about it, when and how did they find me? ’

Judas quickly became a little curious about the process.

Since I've been with the spirits since I was a very young child, there was of course a first encounter in their relationship.

I began to wonder who was the first king of the Four Spirits to come to me and how I met him. I was wondering what kind of meat would be in the net.

In the meantime, Livech also greeted Edan and Baikal, who had a face in Lubach.

“Bye, Edan, Baikal! ”

Edan lightly nodded, but Baikal approached her and greeted her with a shackle.

“Hey, kid! You've grown up a lot."

Then Livech looks up at Baikal and spits admiration on Hee.

“Are you all big now, too? ”

“Huh?”

“Once upon a time, I was angry with Edan every time I saw him. Hehe, you must be tired! ”

“Did I.....? ”

Baikal's eyes became moist in the past, listening to a 12-year-old girl.

What made him sadder was the fact that Livech had not seen him, but that he had just heard what he had said to Ethan.

‘There's no progress, there's no progress. Huff.’

After stealing his tears, he asked Libech, who was staring at horse poop.

“Hey, kid. So you're here to get a statement, too? ”

“Yes! I got it today. ”

“Already got it? ”

“Eudemonic. ”

Baikal is frightened by Libech's whirlwind in front of them and stops her mouth.

But after all the people who were already there had heard it.

Aslan, who couldn't care less about who was coming to focus on the painting, took his pen off the paper and stared at her with a dismayed look.

“Oh! That's crazy. ”

“Why?”

“Kid. Didn't you hear me when I got the statement? This is a special baptismal name that only God and the Pope and yourself know about. ”

The 'Jinjing’, which was decreed as a sovereignty, was the only area in which the empire did not work.

Even the Emperor's car is not authorized to hear statements made by the Pope by force. If I knew the truth, I could deal with blessings and curses in that person's life. So usually the owner who swore allegiance, the couple who swore love, did not reveal the truth.

“Yes, I heard. ”

“But to Hall and anyone.....! ”

“You're nobody. ”

Libech looks back at Judas with clear, creamy eyes.

Having met him for a long time, he still had a warm light. The pink-haired girl smiles like a sunflower that meets the sun that has just risen in the early morning.

“The people here are all Judas believes in! ”

“Hugh.”

“So it's okay. ”

In Lubach, a small society of twelve year-olds, noble-born students, it is not so young and pure.

Rather, he was old enough to be bitten by the waters. Even Aslan, one year younger than her, was disgusted by their society and was out there alone.

Nevertheless, Libech still retained his pure faith at the age of seven when he first met Judas.

Judas who saw it thought he might know why the spirits like poisonous children.

Spirits didn't like everyone just because they were young.

‘What they like is a straight heart like that. ’

In a way, the divine power that God exerted on man was the same. The stronger the faith in God, the stronger the divine power to express intuitive love.

Spiritual beings have no choice but to be sensitive to the spirit, not to the body.

Therefore, it is not because you are young that you like the child, but because you trust and love the other person purely.

“Libech.”

“Huh?”

I saw a slightly crooked mint ribbon. Judas neatly organized the ribbon on the girl's hair and spoke.

“Thank you for believing. But in the future, don't forget to be careful when talking about the truth. ”

Ribbon finds its place neatly.

Judas was more mature than Rebech, but he was neither the age nor the status he was accustomed to tying a girl's head to a ribbon. However, as if his hand had touched the woman's head several times, he felt familiar, and Rebekah leaned slightly.

“That's your only precious name. ”

“Uh-huh. Okay. ”

“That's nice.”

He gently strokes the girl's head and lowers his hand, quietly answering.

The ribbon on the pink hair looks great.
