Muyoku no Seijo wa Okane ni Tokimeku

36. Leo, Shine (After)

"-... hehe...!?

Leo looks down at his body for a moment.

Of course this was because the Spirit of Darkness "flattened" the pig's blood in the offering.

was for

'Look, there...! Um, on the balcony!

"Modern Witch......?

'The moment she waved her arm, the sun shined...!

"The dirty clothes turned pure white in an instant. It's like the sight of the Bible itself......!

The figure was once the Spirit of Light itself that descended into the poor and earth, and smeared his clothes in an instant.

(Oh... already... you're lying...)

Lena's eyes get so far away.

Oddly then, a boy staring at a girl sitting on the balcony from downstairs shouted out loud.

"That one is the incarnation of the Spirit of Light!

I was wandering around the cathedral looking for a conscientious mentor with medical knowledge, a Talim boy.

He shook his excitement and a blatant hot valve toward the surrounding mentors who frowned on what he meant and toward the herds of people ahead.

"That one... you know, the witch of Weitz, she's the Virgin of Light! Laugh gently in the midst of any tough trials, discern ambitions, and forgive us our lowly sins. If it becomes dangerous, the Spirit of Light protects me, and I still call the sun. I saw it with these eyes!

He spoke of the fact that the girl had found the virtues of a lower town that had never been looked upon before, as he floated in fever, and that when she was attacked, she defended herself with mysterious power, and promised to forgive the sins of the tyrants who were about to be used and to use their technology to make sure that the lower town flourished.

"Oh my God..."

'If that story is true, it is exactly the incarnation of the Spirit of Light...'

'It's true.' Cause look, as soon as she comes out, the clouds that were so disastrous disappear and the blinding sun is rising...!

The people who were listening looked alternately at the morning sun, which divinely illuminates the earth, and the girl sitting overhead.

The girl standing up with her brand new morning sun on her cheek is just as beautiful as a painting, with some of her loose hair covering her lazy shoulders and pure white clothes in the wind.

Those who were there were relieved by the sight as if it had reproduced a scene in the Bible.

Even though, the last day of the festival, which lasted three days.

Though devout spiritualists, nothing was intoxicating on the spot, and what is more, they were panicking in unexpected rough weather, and at that time they were in quite a situation and prone to allusion.

Eventually, the Talim boy,

"Bless you, Virgin of Light..."

Kneel on the spot fluttering as you gaze at the beautiful brunette girl.

Excitement propagated instantly, and people began to kneel around Talim, as if the waves were spreading.

"The Virgin of Light......!

"Bless us, O Virgin of Light...!

"O Virgin of Light!

Less than a little, the voices overlapped one after the other, and eventually the words, honoring the girl, echoed around in such a loud voice that they rocked the diocese.

――…………

In the darkness behind the Spirit Cloth, where the sun did not shine, about one person was in bright white ash.

(Somebody... say it's a dream... say it...)

To His Royal Highness's thinker, the candidate for the head righteous queen, the Abnegation Virgin.

Though I thought I was just full of this, the other day I added even more titles of "Virgin of the Redemption," and now I've finally evolved into what a world-wide thing to be "Virgin of Light".

Eland at the Covenant Festival said that there are witches gathered from various countries, escorts to their samurai, and tourists too, but not this.

(Instead of all over the Weitz Empire... all over Elando... no, all over the world, you've cracked your face. Whoa!!

It seemed almost impossible for them to escape anymore.

If this is the case, it is better to kiss the prince and make things worse, but I can still fix it.

Lena crumbled to the floor and covered her face with both hands.

"Duh... what shall we do..."

Meanwhile, Leo, stunned on the balcony, was just as blue for this situation.

I can see that my series of actions appeared in a miraculous sight in your eyes, apparently.

that they are staring at themselves in unison.

I thought there shouldn't be anything like pointing to the sky for a moment in bad weather with bad vision, but I can't believe this is happening.

(Me... Me..., maybe now you stand out as much as you want...!?

Leo sweated sloppily, literally to the point that he had exposed his existence under the day.

I'm afraid to look back in the direction where Lena is, to an overly unexpected development.

Forget to breathe, too. When you're rigid, there,

"Leonora......!

"Witch of Weitz -!"

Alberto and Safita rushed over with an unhidden excitement.

Alberto first with a slight difference in touch, and as he lined up next to Leo, he smiled as he shimmered his blonde hair into the sun.

"What a miracle...!

"Yes, no... Um... not a miracle... eh"

Leo has a lot to do with it.

In his head, what can I say about getting away from this place, only the idea swept around a vortex.

But Alberto looks downstairs with his eyes round, unknowingly, such as Leo's distress.

So I nodded to Leo with great pride.

"Look, Leonora. Even the people of Elland are drooling in honor of you. Ha, now you're like a spirit of light that can still unite the continent."

"Yes, no...... Huh! I don't want that, not at all, not even this one... Huh!

You did it! Leo shook his head, shaking a royal smile like that.

and there,

"It will be, Witch of Weitz."

Safita, lined up next to another piece of Leo, speaks with that ear-touched bass.

To Leo, who turned all the way around, he gave a faint grin as he nodded, "I know everything".

'Not ambition, love. Is that what you wanted, not to be worshipped by spirit-like heights, etc. - to get that status, standing next to a dear man?

"Yes!?

Suddenly Leo is surprised by Saffita's words.

But without realizing Leo's upset like that, on his brown face, he floated a serious determination.

"Who can deny the whispering, nasty desire to preserve the warmth finally in his hands, without exposing himself to anyone? Please, as a previous redemption, let me take my skin off too. '

"Is...? Huh? Yep......!?

Approximately Leo, who was completely left behind, Safita turned from the balcony to the folks downstairs and put up her right arm wrapped in a robe.

- Listen, people of Elland!

It's a young, proud voice.

Colored by emotion, it was contrary to the doctrine he had been aware of for a long time, but it was full of luster and charm that made the listener angry.

"The covenant festival, the ritual of life, is now complete.... but I want you to listen. An earlier disastrous thunder is a testament to the heartless among us, who have shredded the power of the Spirit of Light '

People look anxiously at the young ruler's rugged expression and voice.

However, as the blurring spread, Safita raised her voice and concentrated people's interest.

'But! Now the sky is filled with brand new light, and the covenant of the Spirit of Light with the earth is searched unbroken. This is because one witch, who is pure of heart, broke through her evil heart with her eyes that foresee the truth, and stood up to her, and broke her abominable ambitions!

People inflate their excitement and expectations with his blue-grey eyes staring at the girl beside him with a fever on.

As everyone even stopped breathing and heard, Safita took the girl's hand and hoisted it high toward heaven.

"The witch's name is Leonora von Harkenberg. She is the most beloved of spirits, the Virgin of Light, who comes no less than the land of Weitz or stands alongside its emperor!

"Huh... Huh... Huh!

Sooner than the girl rocked her shoulder a little faster, the people who exploded her excitement shouted like a grunt at the same time.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

- The Virgin of Light!

- Hail, Virgin Leonora!

"Hey... hey... hey!

It is nevertheless a reproduction of the sight at the Spirit Festival.

No, there were even more people, more enthusiastic, and more world-wide than then.

"Ya...... stop...!

Leo is no longer on the verge of panic.

Cold sweat seeped all over his body and he was white in his head.

(Ya... yay, yay, yay, what's wrong with this!? How can I get away with this!?

With all this, and the attention paid to people from all over the world, I no longer feel like there's a place for the Leos to run.

Next to Leo, who stood still, Alberto loosened his rugged expression and nearly nodded at Safita.

"Lord Safita. Thank you. Now her position is unshakeable"

"No, until I state the facts.... and given what we've done to her, is that even part of the atonement"

"That's not for you, it's for her to decide. If you regret it, she will certainly grant you forgiveness - of course, I will tell you something else about the mentor there."

Because the girl was too kind, and Safita quietly drowned her head toward Alberto, who narrowed her eyes to sword swallowing.

The expression was not the usual impossibly suppressed emotions, but full of readiness and responsibility emanating naturally from the inside.

Eventually, as Alberto shook his head and switched consciousness, he spoke softly to the girl standing up.

"- Look, Leonora. This is your power."

"Is... Huh? Huh...!?

"It doesn't matter who you are or what your borders are, you get people's attention. Tomorrow, your name will be known all over the continent. with sparing praise."

Leo, not so happy, accidentally burst into tears when, along with the tragedy, the nominee arranger information was known to all over the continent.

"No......! That's totally... totally, seek, I'm not there...!

"Leonora......"

Unexpectedly Alberto glanced at the girl moisturizing her purple eyes if she didn't need fame or anything else, then smiled softly.

"What an abnegation, I just want to say... yes, that's you"

"Yes?"

"If you've been given a position where someone with no heart tells you you're from, but just doesn't hurt you, then you've had enough as me. Good luck, Leonora. Thank you. From now on, I'm here to protect you."

"Yes!?

I'm sorry for Alberto, but I don't completely understand what you're saying.

Is this a novice trap or a highly verbally compressed intimidation?

(... no, no)

Reflectively, Leo was wary of Alberto.

(According to Lena, this guy liked me...!

That means "beside" is not a metaphor for surveillance either, and "protecting" also means sheltering, as the word suggests.

(One... I mean... you're smiling at me, not because you're immersed in the pleasure of execution... but because you're subtly spinning your arms, saying if you run away, kill you, not because of a threat...)

I hadn't thought about it at all before, but taking a look at things on the assumption that they were favored by Alberto, Leo remembers the comfort of the world as if it had been inverted one hundred and eighty degrees.

Even as Alberto smiled and let go of his arm, kneeling softly on the spot, he was in a cold sweat, just stiff.

"Leonora. It's not something to say on this occasion, and although I know you're still young, I'd like you to let me know"

(I mean... what this guy says, wanting you to stay by his side or not letting go is the same strong emotion I have for gold coins... that is...)

The people of the world call it this way when a moneyguard tells them to "stay aside" for money is merely an oddity, but when a man utters that word against a woman.

"Leonora - even if not now, sooner or later. I want you to marry me."

"-... Huh!"

(P...... PROPOSE SOOOOOOOOOO!!

Now - really now - Leo exclaimed, understanding the sincerity of Alberto's actions.

No, I meant to scream, burning my throat most intensely in history.

"... eh... eh... eh!

(Wow! Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa! What's wrong with you! What am I supposed to do!

When Lena pointed out the prince's love affair, he was only half-hearted, so he said, "Give him the guidance!" Leo, who had only thought about it with a light knoll about, "was now a big panic, just because he understood the length of his thoughts.

'Cause I didn't know you were going to set up a proposal - a horrible act with three months' pay blowing up.

I didn't think that was a serious thought.

(Even though I'm pretty brave to say no to what I get for free...)

Confused, Leo lowered his brow pitifully.

Do I have to turn this down?

Do we have to brutally push back the favor of a man like this, who proposes in the face?

(Ugh... because my identity is not good enough... eh)

I also thought when Kai, if I found out that the person I liked was actually a man, what life stain would that be?

Besides, I'm not talking about my first love degree.

I hung my salary for three months, the person I proposed to.

It must have been such a shock that the gold coins that prepared the cushions to calm him down and whispered love in his mouth every day were actually just a chunk of shit painted with gold -

(I can't! I'd be dead!

Leo almost threw up blood on his apologies.

(What to do... What to do...)

Only words like that occupy my head.

The people whistle and make noise, Safita smiles and watches, the prince looks up with a serious face, so I didn't see a single element of calm.

This is no longer the case, nor is it possible to sneak away.

It seems to me that there is no other way to ask the prince to honestly reveal himself and forgive him.

Nevertheless, I do not want to leave trauma behind if I can in the heart of the prince, who has consolidated his salary for three months until he is ready to depress.

or, I still can't accept courtship.

Exactly octagonal, grand tour.

Leo crooked his face as he received a refreshing morning sun on his cheek.

"-... sorry, no"

Forced to twist the words out of his confused head.

The first thing that leaked pompous was a small little apology.

"I'm sorry. Excuse me.... I can't, I can't..."

To the girl who shook her shoulders and leaned down, Alberto marveled, unkneeling her worship and placing her hand on its shoulder.

"Leonora...?

"Excuse me, Prince, you can't marry..." Because... "

Grabbing his fist, he pulls his mouth together all the time.

Leo was thinking about what the most honest attitude he could take with his messed-up head.

Revealing the truth about this replacement play could hurt the prince even more.

Not only the prince, but also Kai and the Marquis, could be badly shocked.

But still.

It seemed too untrue to speak only of complaining that you didn't eat.

"Because..., oh..., I..."

The word me was burned by sorcery, and I had no choice but to call it me, then.

- Fool.

Husky voices echoed directly into Leo's brain, along with the feeling of a warm breeze stroking his cheeks.

"-... Dear Al..."

As he looks up, Alberto looks worried and peeks this way - on the other side of it, he sees a beautiful golden woman.

When she accidentally opened her mouth, she put her index finger on her glossy lips.

- No, you can't. Because you're the only one who shows up.

Eh, and to Leo, who blinked his eyes, he stretched out his arms fluttering, and Alta followed his forehead steadily.

- I already told you to call me if you were in trouble.

... you want to say no to his courtship?

That, too, without revealing who it is.

That's how I want to disappear.

Surprised to see even the circumstances he wasn't supposed to be talking about, Alta explained that she had heard and guessed the conversation with Lena.

- You're supposed to use the word "man" in a candlestick.

Well, fine.

Whatever I look like, as you have accepted, whatever your gender is, I accept.

... Well, the truth is, it was my first time as a believer who wasn't a muddy, painful man, so I was happier with girls.

Leaking the second half softly, she shook her head to switch consciousness and leaned over a clean wink.

- I'll take care of it.

'Cause I'm a golden spirit.

Beautiful shushes, falsehoods that cover the truth, they belong to my world.

"Leonora?"

Alberto looked suspiciously at the girl who shrugged her face and wept, thinking, "Dear Al," she muttered and silenced.

So he gently stretched his long fingertips on the girl's cheek, at that moment.

Over the sky, a flash burst of light that could not keep my eyes open.
