Neme Perrin was sitting on his bed in a room in the Salengre Cathedral, where he was under house arrest.

If you can't get one step out of the room, there's nothing you can do.

I felt like it was a long time ago that the dungeon was dawning.

Why are you in Bithrill?Even though I had decided to return to the city after the dungeon conquest.

Everyone in the world is on their own. Alcia and Cardinal Hooge are gods.

But perhaps it's the same to me from what they saw.

Thus, what she saw as a daydream was long before she came to the 'Arrivals'.

To put it further, it was a memory from childhood.

Neme was born outside the city of Bithrill, in a ghetto.

It seems to be because it was already deposited in the Cesina church when the mind arrived.

In the city of Bithrill, there is a system whereby children who have lost their parents or for some reason have been abandoned are taken back to the church.

I don't know which one I am, but I was one of the children without such a parent.

According to the philanthropic Cesina teachings, Bithrill is committed to saving children, but that is not the only reason, of course.

Aifan has focused on skills research and has also conducted research to acquire skills targeted by gift rituals.

How does God decide on the skills to be shared?

The mystery had three hypotheses.

The first is that the skills acquired when a person reaches the age of fifteen are determined at the time of receiving life as a person.

The hypothesis is that the person's skills are fixed at the time of the gift of life to God, and that the gift ceremony will only bring it to the fore.

The second is defined by acquired experience.

It is the idea that based on the abilities developed by the age of fifteen and the acquired aptitudes, we are deciding the skills that God will give us.

And the third hypothesis is that at the time of the gift ceremony, the skill is completely random.

The point is to think of the ritual of gift as a trick.

It is now self-evident that some acquired elements of the skill are involved, such as those who are familiar with magic can easily acquire magic-related skills, and those who believe in Cesina can easily acquire sacred magic skills.

That's why it's not entirely controllable, and outlier elements have also been identified with considerable probability.

So, in Ivan today, either the combination of the first hypothesis and the second hypothesis, or the combination of the second hypothesis and the third hypothesis.Or all three hypotheses come together, and the idea that God determines the skills to be divided among people is prevalent.

Even in the sense of carrying out such research, the number of samples of information such as who is given what skills is important, let alone children without parents who can understand or adjust the living environment, was a very valuable use.

Neme was assigned to a group of children who were aiming for the skill of [Virgin Power].

Apart from the position of Pope, Ivan has something called a Virgin.

If the Pope were to be at the top of the country, the Virgin is, so to speak, a symbol of the country.

Originally from a girl who mourned the fires that spread throughout Aifan hundreds of years ago and worked to create a peaceful world, she also seems to have the skill of [Virgin Power].

Since then, Aifan has worshipped those with [Virgin Power] as a symbol of peace.

Of course, Virgin Power is a rarity EX skill, and neither does it reveal itself.

At a time when there was no one with [Virgin Power], the person who was deemed worthy of that position held the symbol of peace as the Virgin's proxy.

However, Virgin Proxy is only a proxy after all, and it is like a connection to a true Virgin with [Virgin Power].

It seems that the vibrancy of the country is different between the era of the Virgin and the era of the Virgin Proxy, and Aifan always wanted a true Virgin.

There were nearly a hundred children gathered in the church where Neme lived.

It was an environment where there were 14 years old at the top, 4 or 5 years old at the bottom, and about 10 children at the same age.

It was speculated that the skill of Virgin Power would only be demonstrated to girls, and that pious Cesina believers such as the first Virgin would be gained.

Therefore, all the children in the church were uniformly girls, called Virgin Cadets, and all were carefully attentive to living a caring life.

It sounds bad to be told that you can be raised to acquire skills, but life inside is not so bad.

Basically, Cesinaism is based on the spirit of fraternity.

Although there were many rules for living as a Cadet of Virgin Mary following Cesina, none of them were unreasonable.

Sisters who grew up also loved their children, and they loved them too.

And for the children, the Virgin, a symbol of peace, was a yearning and lived a prudent life as a Virgin Cadet as much as possible.

Unlike outside, this church is free from bullying and quarrels by children of the same age.

If it's not a snack arrangement, if there aren't many toys, set the order so that everyone can play equally.

Moreover, it was so peaceful that everyone gave up and there was no one to play with first.

In that case, if you ask what you know about the impression of a girl named Neme Purgin at the time, everyone will say this.

- She was a problem child.

"Are you sure? Thank you!"

That said, the young Neme received a tart with fruit from a child sitting next to him.

During the after-dinner snack, I watched the dessert that was left on the next girl's plate hanging over me, and I said, "If you want to eat so much, shall I give it to you?She offered it to me.

For those of you who are looking for exemplary life as a Virgin Cadet, it's only natural that you share food with hungry people, and the girl next door also decided to share as much of the tart left in the neck as possible with the esteemed Virgin.

This is not the first time a snack has been given to a neme.

I knew that if I wanted to look at things, everyone would share snacks, and it was an act that I did every day.

When I put the tart on my cheeks while eating around my mouth, I see signs behind my mouth.

Neme-chan, are you eating people's sweets again?

When he turned around in a hurry, there was a girl he knew.It was Alcia when she was young, the same age as Neme.

"No! This tart belongs to Neme!"

And Neme swallowed up what was in his mouth, and swallowed it, and swallowed it to protect the tart that had been eaten.

Alcia puts her hands on her hips as she sees herself in an appetizing cadet.

"You know, I didn't mean to take Neme's sweets!"

Then what can I do for you?

"I came to see if Neme-chan took people's sweets.Then you're taking it for granted. "

"It's bad to hear that you're taking it!Neme was just given away! "

The person who gave the sweets to Neme nodded.

Of course, Alcia knew that Neme did not forcefully take it, but she also knew that she had taken it with the goodwill of others.

Outside the world, your sluggish work, like what happens in everyday tea, is also noticeable because you rarely see it in this church.

"Yes, the sweets I gave Neme."

When Alcia turned away from Neme, she gave her own tart, which she had saved, to the girl who had just given her sweets.

Thank you, Al.

The girl who received the tart expresses her gratitude.

Alcia embarrassed herself.

"Don't worry about it.Because I did what I had to do as a Cesina. "

"After all, Al is amazing.Gentle, like a true Virgin. "

"I'm not ready yet."

Despite Alcia's humble attitude, any Sister raising a candidate or child of her age thought she deserved to be the next Virgin.

With a gentle personality, you can be considerate to others and treat everyone individually.

Never abandon a person like Neme, and while deepening friendship as a friend, he tries to correct the bad things for her.

It was also natural to be regarded as the next saint because his academic and sacred achievements were at the top.

Moreover, he said that he would never put his reputation on his nose, so he couldn't complain.

"If you want to give it to someone else, please give it to another neme!"

Such a good friend of hers was showing unworthy greed for the Virgin Cadet.

Alcia can't hide her astonishment at this.

"You know what? You can't be a Virgin like that."

"I know!"

If so, why...

"Neme doesn't have to be a virgin!"

Neme opens her mouth as she stretches her chest.

"Neme is satisfied with my current life!They eat a lot of sweets, they're all nice, and they divide a lot of sweets.That's why you don't have to be a Virgin! "

"That's almost like saying I want to eat sweets...."

The girl who divided the sweets earlier was blurry.

It is also because there is a name for raising the next saint that the cattle do not have trouble with rice.

Nevertheless, if there were any Virgin candidate who did not aspire to be a Virgin, it was a problem, and it was one of the reasons that Neme was considered a problem child.

Alcia draws attention to the reopening of the neme.

"No, don't say that."

"Why?"

"Sister's gonna get mad at me."

"That's okay! Today's prayer time has already pissed me off!"

"Eh...."

Alcia and the girl next door seemed bewildered by Neme's reply.

"When Neme desperately asked God to eat a lot of sweets, I was angry for some reason!"

"Prayer is a prayer that allows everyone to live in peace, that prevents poor people from getting hungry, and it's only natural to be angry if you pray for your own lust!"

Is that what it is?

For Neme, who didn't even hear the Sister's sermon, Alcia's sermon was like a warm curtain.

Everyone in the church knows this kind of behavior.

It was also said that they would not be kicked out because it was a Cesinan church that recommended charity to others.

You didn't think it would be good if you didn't reflect at all. Alcia is changing the direction of attention.

"I mean, if you eat so much sweets, you'll get fat."

"... hah!"

As soon as I realized it, Neme glanced at me.

Being fatter was more terrifying to Neme than not being a Virgin.A Virgin Cadet with such an idea is as good as a neme.

"No, no, I'm still young, so I don't get fat no matter how much I eat."

"Really? I think my cheeks are more gloomy than everybody else's..."

"That's because Neme is the dwarf!... maybe."

I added that because I was gaining weight year after year.

I think I'm just gaining weight as I grow up, but it's also suspicious because I can't reach my height.

"Maybe if you say so, you have to take snacks from people."

Alcia tells Neme to change her usual life.

However, if you reflect on it to this extent, it is not said that Neme is also a problem child.

"A snack is another belly!I eat plenty of snacks and eat no vegetables! "

Instead of reflection, we were drawing conclusions that seemed counterproductive.

This church is a sign of peace that you can say what you like.

As a child, Neme was happy with her life as a Virgin Cadet.
