I'll ask May about the Virgin that night.
"Well, I don't want to answer that about Alisa's future, but you know Alisa is asking for it, right?Alisa seems to think too hard, but I think it's a simple problem. "
May is in her usual mood, finishing her paperwork in pieces and looking at me.
"Look, it's not about what happens when Alisa becomes a Virgin, it's about what Alisa wants to do.If Alisa wants to save people around the world, that's fine, and if she wants to stay with the Devil King, that's fine.If you choose one, you can't stand the other.When you think again about why you're lost. "
That way, I look at the paperwork again.By the time I left May's curtain house, the confusion in my head had eased and I felt calm.You will then take your feet to the curtain house in Vargis.
"I will be a Virgin."
I see.
As soon as I entered the curtain house, Vargis replied lightly to me.I sit next to Vargis at the table and continue my words.
"That was a surprisingly light reply."
Um, I was hoping Alisa would make it.
Vargis said I sighed and then rested on Vargis' shoulders.
"Valgis. I want to stay with Valgis forever, but I think there are things that politics alone cannot solve, and there are many things that Valgis alone cannot solve.That's why I want to solve it. "
"What happened to saying I wasn't worthy of a Virgin?"
"Somehow... the priest of the church told me something that I could only do... once in 1000.God asked me to do it directly.It's a little hard not to accept that much. "
Vargis caresses silently on my opposite shoulder.
"If you're tired of working with the Virgin, come back to Wenguis without any trouble.My concubine will comfort you. "
"Okay."
I answer in a surprisingly light tone myself.
◆ ◆ ◆
The next day, I'll head back to the church in Honeym after they let me know that I'm leaving tomorrow.The weather was clear without a cloud.
Widespread propaganda of being a Virgin can be physically done by Vargis, but it seems most effective to first communicate to the priests in churches around the world through God that they have accepted the Virgin in dialogue with him.Surely, people believe that it is better to be nominated directly by God than by humans and demons.
And today's companions, besides Natori, are Vargis and May.
"Mao-chan, you said you were busy enough to go out, but are you okay?Onee-sama was busy, wasn't she? "
"Hmm, this is an important moment in determining the fate of the world.We cannot afford to miss being king of one nation.It would be better to tell God as soon as possible, but once the war is over, we will gather the kings of the nations to perform official rituals. "
"Uh-huh, that's it..."
"You've made up your mind.I won't let you say it's not appropriate. "
"Ugh, I see..."
I nod with my shoulders down. May also snaps.
"In exile, the Savior was said to be Alisa and the two Demon Kings, but the Demon King was benevolent and was about to destroy the Kingdom of Wistaria, and Alisa would become a Virgin.You got the prophecy. "
"Yes, there are still feelings that I don't deserve it, but I think there are a lot of lives that I can't save unless I admit it.I'm ready for today. "
"Yes, that's my sister."
It's unusual for a strict sister to smile at me like that.I nod "Yes."
It is finally in front of the church. Once you declare it to God, there is no turning back.I stop and look up at the church.
"What's the matter, you're scared?"
Vargas, who put his hand on the door knob, shook my neck to the side and walked step by step, conscious of increasing the width of my feet.
Once inside the church, the altar was decorated with unusual flowers.It is decorated with many bright red and yellow flowers.And a large white cloth made of brocade is hanging on the inner wall.A little dust remains at the central junction, but there is a red carpet and a number of women dressed in black stand side by side.There must have been no one in this church but a priest, so did you go out of your way to summon the inhabitants of the town of Hornim, not a nun?
From the sleeve porch, the priest brings a silver shimmering coat-like costume.
"Say, Virgin, come here.It is divine to know that you are here today to proclaim the Virgin. "
"Haha, God is amazing."
I will then close my eyes and take a deep, deep breath, then stand at the top and walk slowly through the aisle sandwiched in the hallway chair.
Once you declare it, it cannot be undone.I will no longer be an ordinary girl.But if there is a life that can only be saved by a Virgin, I want to save it.I felt stronger after joining the war.
I leave the hallway with many memories of why I want to be a saint.The priest turns around behind me and puts on a silver coat.
"It's an old one, but it's a historic hat."
That said, one of the women in black wears a blue and splendid hat with a cross on it.I ask the priest gently.
"Where should I stand?"
"Go before the altar and pray to God."
As Vargis, May and Natori sit in the hallway chair watching, I will take one step at an altar.Then stop in front of the altar, put your hands together, close your eyes and pray.I didn't know what to think, so I imagined what I wanted to do when I became a saint, what I wanted to do to save people who were dying.
I can hear women singing from behind.While I can hear a pleasant singing voice, I hold hands and pray to God.
Huh?
I kind of feel the wind from around me.You feel the sun and your body warming up.This is in the building, so there will be no wind for as much as possible... "I open my eyes thinking.
I was alone in the middle of a clear meadow.I look around, but there's only a horizon far away, and there's really nothing.The silver coat reflects sunlight and is very eye-catching.
Alisa.
I hear voices coming from somewhere.I look around and wonder where they're coming from, but there's nothing.Nothing really.
Alisa, answer me.
"Yes"
I'm sure this is a voice from God.I don't know about religion, but somehow I felt that way.I look up over.
"Once you become a Virgin, you can't go back.Many people seek salvation, and come to the Virgin without rest of the year.The Virgin is the hope of this world. "
"Yes"
"Are you really ready?"
"Yes, if there's anything I can do for people in need, if there's only one thing I can do in the world, I'll do anything.I hereby pledge to be a Virgin and to save the sick. "
I will put my hands together again, open my mouth clearly and loudly, and respond with a solid pronunciation.
Close your eyes and the wind will stop and you will no longer feel the sunlight warming your body.The next time I opened my eyes, I was back in church.
I let go of my hands and slowly look back.The women and the priest bow their heads politely to me.
"Alisa, I'm glad you're a saint. Let's celebrate."
I hear voices coming from around my ears, even though nobody is talking.It's the voice of God. I nod quietly to avoid being suspicious.
I look around.Everyone is still gazing at me.Do I have something on my face?I felt my cheeks and touched them, but nothing seemed to happen.Still, people are just staring at me.Even Vargis and May, sitting in the hallway, are staring at me.It's clearly a strange atmosphere.
What the hell is going on?I was terrified of the serious faces of the people around me and I couldn't make a sound.Did you build it for a few minutes? A priest who couldn't see me is calling.
"Thank you, Virgin."
"Yes."
Whatever it is, I am now the Virgin.It's going to be tough.
I take everything I have on my chest and reply with a full smile.
