Lucia, certified by the Virgin

I could not understand for a moment what I had been told by His Majesty's straight gaze, which seemed to penetrate.

"Maria's powers can be used without having to go through crystals. Your powers are the same, aren't they? Special magic that doesn't require the mediation of the celestial tree like any other magic. Furthermore, it is the ability to“ wash away ”. In fact, the Heavenly Crystal Tree of Killiest was purified only by your power. [M] If the Virgin of the Other World were Maria, wouldn't you be the Virgin of the Other World?

Your Highness, who presents herself, but wait, I am the Virgin or not. 'Cause look at Maria, right? You're a powerful, poor, beautiful girl, and you feel like a mysterious Virgin, don't you? Compared to that, I am a mediocre human being, like anywhere else. I can't compare it. You can't line up. It's a terrible thing that I call the Virgin!

But there was only one thing I was convinced of somewhere.

I myself am too mediocre to be worthy of calling myself "Virgin," but this power of mine is far from mediocre and too different from other magic. You can wash anything from clothes to curiosity, and like Maria's magic of light, you can activate it even if you haven't touched the crystal. It didn't bother me when I thought the chabot balls were just coming out, but this ability to purify the Tenjing tree was unusual.

"Though we had no idea because we thought about the Virgin of the Other World (Maria) from past heritage, the original Virgin may not have been Maria of the Other World, but you. The purification of the celestial tree should be completed only in this world, for which reason Lucia, you have the ability. Even when the Virgin summoned a thousand and six hundred years ago, maybe there was a Virgin somewhere in this world with the same abilities as you. However, the Virgin was buried in the city well and could not be found, and the Virgin of another world who happened to be summoned purified the celestial tree. So we thought," To purify the Celestial Tree, we have to summon the Virgin from another world. "

Her Royal Highness held Maria's slender hand softly as she stood by her side. Touched by the hand, Maria looks up to Her Highness with a clear tone.

"Am I supposed to be the Virgin's spare? Is that so?"

"No, it's not a spare. You are also a virgin with purifying powers. [M] It was just... it wasn't“ the Virgin of this world. "Of course, this is just my guess. But I don't think it's out of place either. We should have tried harder. Instead of inviting the Virgin cheaply, we should have done everything we could with our own hands. So... Maria, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry about what you did. [M] But if you'll excuse me, I... want to thank you for meeting me."

"Really, you're on your own."

"I am aware. But that's what love is all about, isn't it?

"Well, what do you say? I admire it. Why don't you ask someone in love?

"Aren't you in love?

Back in her usual shape, Maria leaked a giggle that, when she lowered her eyebrows as she shrugged, shook the bell. Her Royal Highness will also smile at how pleasant Maria is.

"What? Is this the right time to suddenly sneeze?

"You're gonna be pissed off for disrespect, Chick."

"No, 'cause you weren't talking important right now? Am I misheard?

I was confused as I listened to Erik and Mr. Gaius talking. Because suddenly I have trouble being treated like a Virgin. What should I do now? Does telling a story like this mean that you are being asked to do something??

The beginning was about the incident in Fatna, wasn't it? His Highness wanted to hear Maria's departure with it... because she wanted to stay by her side and look forward to the future together. And he tried to give me the secret stone of the Virgin's summons as redemption for Mr. Maria, and in that flow he said that he was the Virgin about me. Hmm? Then there's nothing particularly required of me... is there? Just a stream of stories?

When I was confused not knowing how to judge His Highness's story, I was gently held hands. I'm Mr. Ceres.

Seeing, Mr. Ceres looked terribly harsh. Just because you've been holding hands, there's no sweet atmosphere there, no shards.

"Mr. Ceres?

"Ah...... no, it's nothing"

Peeping into his face, Mr. Ceres distorted his brilliant face. Anxiety builds on that expression, which seems to have failed to create a smile.

"What's wrong?

To my inquiry, Mr Ceres did not answer. But power is caged in the palms that hold my hand faintly.

I could only shake that hand back, unable to extinguish my unspeakable anxiety.
