Master’s Smile

Episode XV: In the Worship Room [1]

Ever since I broke up with Coolin and Crankheit, I've been walking around looking for the last guild member to stay.

I don't know if there are too many Alliance members, but my Alliance is so special that it's so small.

That will be touched again later.

Still, you had a rare meeting with a lot of members today.

I rarely get out of this castle at headquarters because I'm an Alliance Master, and many Alliance members seem to be taking on long term jobs...

I'm a master, but I'm not very familiar with their work.

Around there, it's okay because even if I leave it to them, I'm solid.

Well, anyway, I'll see her at the end.

... but to be honest, just a little bit about her... just a little bit, you're not good at it.

No, I think that kid admires me, and I think he respects me. Though the degree is too high.

I definitely don't hate that girl myself.

She also thought she was a child from a small age, and I raised her. [M]

With that in mind, I walk without hesitation. [M]

I know where that kid is.

Because they pray every day in that place in the morning......

I finally got to the place. [M]

It was a prayer room, one of the facilities provided for the castle, which is the guild.

These kinds of facilities are largely created at the request of the guild members, and this prayer room was also created at the request of that child only.

…………

In that prayer room, one woman was quietly praying.

She's the last Alliance member I've been looking for.

I came to say hello, because of the seriousness of that kid. Not very much now, but I can't talk to him.

I could feel something sacred from that child's prayer that I shouldn't touch.

... I wish I could have seen this child's subject of faith more honestly if it wasn't like 'that'.

"Ugh..."

For a while, watching her prayers quietly so as not to disturb her, she was breathing to make a separation.

Am I gonna get in the way now?

With that in mind, I spoke to her.

"Oh, master!

She looked back and realized it was me, wondering if she didn't like someone entering the prayer room at first, and came closer to me with a happy smile on her face.

Her name is Anato.

Long long blonde hair is very pretty, but now she can't see it because she's hiding in her Sister clothes.

My eyes are thin and closed like I'm always laughing.

Seems to show Anato's serene character.

Anato approaches with a small run with Totetote.

Usually, "You can't run in the guild," I guess everyone would be surprised to see Anato cautious of the Yancha guild members running, albeit a small run.

No, everyone would get along well with a fight sometimes, so do you even know this pussy side?

Besides, Anato will think about time and case, and I'm the only one here right now, so I guess he's running a little.

"Good morning, Master. It's unusual to come to the chapel."

Anato, in a calm and relaxed tone, leans his neck strangely.

I smile bitterly as I return my greetings.

Hey... 'cause...

If I'm as good as praying to a stranger, then nothing's wrong with me, right?

I know you won't be moving on, but if Anato, who thinks you're like my daughter, invites me, I'd be happy to hang out.

But if Anato's subject of faith hasn't changed from before, I guess it's a little harsh...

When I asked Anato, fearful, if I had changed my subject of faith...

"You're not supposed to change it. Of course, it remains the Master who believes."

Oh... I knew it hadn't changed...

It's like watching Anato blush and intoxicate her cheeks as if she's having a fever, and I kneel in my heart.

It stays smiling on the surface, though. The smile is almost fixed.

Still, that's crazy.

Since when have I become an admirable person?

Well, it must be amazing in terms of a long life...

"You're happiest when you're in this prayer room praying to your master every morning. Speaking of greed, I'd like to make the prayer room bigger and more majestic."

No, I can't.

I definitely don't want to admit any more additions.

In the first place, I didn't want to build a 'To Worship Me' chapel.

Creating a room to make you worship yourself, that's disgusting, isn't it?

But because Anato says so, it is this prayer room that I made while showing my guild members the rare and difficult color.

Making it any bigger or too shy to admit it.

"Yeah... I think that's a good idea..."

No, no, I don't think anyone would agree with you except maybe Anato.

"I don't think so..."

Anato squeals bossly.

Anyway, you can't, can you?

If people of two major religions who have an incredible number of followers in this world find out about a prayer room for individuals like me, don't you just have to be angry?

"There's only one fool who believes in such a ridiculous religion. Wow. Everyone can be happy if they worship their masters."

Bomb speech!

Though I'm glad this guild doesn't have a child who believes in the two great religions, if the faithful hear about it, they might fall apart.

You can't do that if you joke about it.

"A joke...?

I wonder why I tilt my neck there, Anato.

You don't seem to understand what you're talking about, shall we stop looking strange?
