"I told you to be so careful..."
Gus had a bitter face and complained about Brad and Marie.
"…… I'm sorry."
Brad is posturing correctly and bowing his head to Marie and Gus.
"No... I kept it a secret, it's my fault"
Marie nodded quietly.
The body that burned so much is completely restored for some reason.
… I was sleeping in a simple bed in a stone room.
It's my room.
My head creaks. My hands hurt. It hurts so bad.
Hugging the futon with groans, I desperately put up with the pain.
The memories back and forth are vague, but soon after that, Gus, who heard the scream, said he rushed through the wall.
I didn't mind my arm burning, and she was screaming with half a frenzy as she rocked Marie. [M]
The gas immediately peeled off and gave me first aid, including magic...
Naturally, I had a burn from palm to arm.
I heard that full-scale burns hurt, but it really hurts.
Both arms have cancer and severe pain.
The person who suffered a wide range of severe burns said he would plead with his surroundings to "kill me first" during the treatment period, but I knew how that felt.
I really would have preferred to die, such as bearing something like this all over my body and enduring it for decades.
"Will's hand... will it naturally go all the way?
"It may be difficult… Fortunately, the fingers have been attached to each other, but it is inevitable that the marks will remain."
I hear a scary story.
But that's true, isn't it?
I felt like I grabbed a burnt coal and I didn't let go of it.
I can see that the cloth is wrapped with a clean cloth now, but my body fluids are stained with the cloth after scratching.
It would be amazing to cover your eyes when you solve it.
I'm scared when I think I might get in the way of a slight handshake opening.
"Will.... sorry, Will. Me... me..."
"No, I'm not. Speaking of which, it's my fault I lied and peeked."
But I had no regrets.
The fact that Marie is back on track probably means that she was worried sick about me. [M]
And I got hurt trying to help Marie, even though I didn't have to. [M]
"I have nothing to apologize for. …… I'm glad Marie is safe."
It comes from ignorance, a barren act.
Some people might say it's a stupid one.
But I was relieved.
That may have been pointless behavior, but Marie was still safe.
Ever since I was born in this world, she's been kind enough to raise me.
I was able to move.
I couldn't move without looking ahead for Marie.
I didn't stop my leg because I wanted to keep it.
Like in my previous life, I didn't stop for fear of risk by making excuses for what to do.
That's why.
"... don't worry so much, do you?
I can smile at Marie from the bottom of my heart.
I have nothing to apologize for. I'm so glad you're okay.
"Will......"
Marie is shivering with her eyes down.
I don't usually see the look on her face, and I can't read her inside well.
"Yes, there is…… Will………… Thank you very much……."
Marie held my head lying down.
Smells like burnt incense wood.
It's not uncomfortable. It's a calming smell.
◆
"… well. So I took a peek at prayer until I used a pseudo-morbidity."
In anticipation of Marie settling down, Brad asked.
Tough tone. He's willing to scold me for now.
Yeah, well, I guess so.
Whatever it is you say yourself, but whatever your history is, you did what you were forbidden to do and you got hurt, so you should be well reprimanded for once.
"I've been wondering.
Why are the three of them here? And I'm alive, why am I here?
I was told not to look. I was wondering if there might be a clue to prayer... "
Caligula effects in psychology. But don't look at mythological folklore. Taboo.
It's something that bothers me after all if I'm banned.
Nevertheless, if nothing happened, I was just going to give it a sneak peek.
If Marie hadn't been in such a state... No, is this an excuse?
"... I told you I'd talk to you sooner or later when you got big, didn't I?
Brad acts like a sigh.
"You thought we were the kind of ones who forbid something for no reason?
Or do you think we're liars?
... Will, you're smart, so if you're going to be banned, you know there's a reason why you're going to be banned. "
Yes, as I say.
All I can say is that I didn't have enough patience there.
"Oh, you know, Brad. You don't have to say anything like that, but, uh, Will's got a childish curiosity."
"Marie shut up now."
Brad looks down on me and says, controlling Marie, who tried to shelter me.
"Will. Is there any other reason or excuse"
"…… No. I'm sorry."
I'm done. No, Brad swung up his fist bone and slapped it down my head.
on, and the shock runs.
"… ~ ~!"
I tease.
With physiological reflexes, tears seeped into his eyes.
"From now on, I'll talk to Marie a lot.
There are ruins around here... well, something's at stake. If they move too much on their own, I can't stop. "
Yes, nod...
I wondered how long it's been since I've been scolded, including in my previous life.
In my previous life I was totally given up from around me.
They think it's pointless to scold me, treat me like a swelling...
Now, Brad is out buying me a hater on purpose.
He's prepared to be avoided and scared by me from now on, and he's angry with me.
...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
"And, Will,"
……
Brad broke his fist and squirted my hair.
"You jumped in a lot for Marie. That wound is a man's medal, isn't it?
…………
Unexpectedly, the edge of the mouth loosened.
"He's Brad's apprentice."
"Oh, this guy. Glad to hear it!
He looked at us and laughed like Marie was relieved. Gus shrugged his shoulders.
◆
"By the way, it's Marie. Will you tell Will about worship already?
The history of Washi et al. … is difficult because when we speak poorly, Will is likely to reach the point of difficulty by laying down reasoning……
I'm totally sorry to be caught up in this commotion twice or three times. "
"Me too... well, that's right. I think you should stay that way."
"......... right. I understand perfectly well in this case that secrecy is dangerous the other way around."
Gus and Brad said, Marie nodded.
Then, Gus talked.
"It's Will.... Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Listen to me."
... Hiku?
"It's a delicious food. Every time Marie got caught in the fire, she called it in..."
.................. what?
"Look, there was a silver basin. After about four and a half minutes of prayer, you'll be there."
"……… a joke?
"You're joking about something like this."
Shit.
Hey, come on.
I can't keep up with my understanding.
"Ku, more details..."
That was finally the case, but Gus explained it in detail.
Prayer is usually called prayer, prayer, or blessing.
In the age of mythology, the gods who lost their bodies in the battle of the gods and left to the other side of the dimension.
It is said that the art of prayer is the art of manifesting the power of any of its gods on this earth through itself.
The ancient language cannot be magic, a technique that can create food and drink called sacred cakes and kamikaze, or cure diseases and injuries.
They say they can give a revelation and lead us to an uncertain situation, and when they are extreme, they can unload God himself on them.
But on the contrary, it is subject to restrictions that are not found in ancient language magic.
Only those who are able to communicate with God can be used, beyond what is with God's power.
That's why they have to have the spirituality to be liked by God who helps them, or they really have to have a thick faith heart.
Nor can God dislike it.
I mean, you can't use aggressive techniques on the same good God's family opponent, or if you do repeated evil things, they seem to strip you of the prayer technique itself.
It's such a long and short magic, but how come I haven't been informed of its existence before...
"If you ask me, I'll definitely let you guess Marie's a user, because she's smart."
Well, Marie is pious and good, and she seems to be able to use it.
Definitely, I would have guessed so.
"And one of these days, you learn the myth, you lay your reasoning on top of it, and you know you're on fire.
… and I will say that I don't like having food cooked until the fire is full.
Even if I told you that I was the top immortal and that I would restore my body to the point where it was under fire. "
"I know you don't like that... but why are you on fire in the first place?"
"That is……"
"That's because I became immortal. … because he betrayed Martel, the godmother of the earth."
"Marie......"
Marie lay her eyes down.
I tend to have a nagging, sinking look.
"We made a covenant with Stagnate, the unclean immortal God, to make ourselves immortal.
And the Mother Earth, Martel, is an enemy of the Immortals. Just touch that divinity and the unclean immortal will be burned. "
Reminds me of the sculpture of the temple.
The Mother Earth, Martel. Against the backdrop of Inaho, which is fruitful in the soil, a plump woman with a baby in her arms and a smile of mercy.
"…… can't even be forgiven"
Because you betrayed me, Marie says you're being punished.
But if so, I still pray......
"…………… for me?
For me.
Is Marie praying just to create daily bread?
While burning myself.
Well, suppose...
"Me, I'll work more fields, I'll hunt. So……………"
"No, Will."
Marie laughed and denied the concern.
He had a soft, enveloping voice.
"Praying to the Mother Earth in the morning and evening is my routine since before I met Will"
... It wasn't a lie.
Marie can't lie with such a smile, such a voice.
That's seven years together, I know.
"The Mother Earth, Martel, is the patron saint of children.
Since I met Will, I've also begun to pray that I could get some food...
Originally, the habit of prayer itself remains the same. "
"... there is no doubt about Marie. Let me assure you."
"……… a few times, you've had enough."
Gus nods calmly.
Brad looks a little bitter.
"Why?"
Even if I had memories of my previous life, that was an incomprehensible act.
In other words, Marie was on fire every day before I came.
"……… doesn't it hurt?
"It hurts. She's going to cry."
No more tears, but Marie smiles.
she says.
Whether you betray me or be rewarded with pain...
"Still, I admire the Mother Earth."
... beautiful, I thought.
I thought Marie was so beautiful that she kept smiling.
Marie is a mummy like a dead tree or an instant Buddha.
If you only saw it at first sight, you would have thought that it was tough or horrible.
But Marie looked so beautiful in my eyes.
Maybe without heart, betraying the person you admire.
Rejected.
They burn me every time I try to touch them.
No matter how many times you try to touch it, you will be rewarded with severe pain.
I wonder how painful that is.
Life experience, including in previous life, is so thin that I don't know the pain without faith.
I just think it would be hard. I think it will be painful.
Whether you want to curse something or hate it, it shouldn't be weird.
I'm sure I would have done that in my previous life.
But Marie accepted her suffering peacefully.
I've never even seen Marie curse or hate anyone.
Marie looked so beautiful to me.
"Even if you don't accept this prayer………"
Will, and Marie gently call my name.
"Still, I believe that praying means something."
... Yes, I wondered.
... I hope so, too.
"Besides, Martel says nothing…… please grace the daily sacred cake (bread) after meeting Will"
Martel, the goddess of the earth, also had a baby in his sculpture.
It must also be the patron saint of the child.
"Even if you don't forgive me... that's all I've been saved enough"
Thanks to you, Will? And Marie says in a pranky tone.
"I'm really sorry you kept your mouth shut.
… but I would be happy if you would continue to eat bread…… "
Burns to the arm.
Marie will be all over the fire.
Certainly enough would be the reason why the bread would no longer go through your throat.
But...
"Yeah, I'll eat it."
Maybe I can eat.
I thought so. And
"But I have one favor to ask you."
"What?"
If you can,
"From now on, let me pray with you."
What Marie is looking at.
What Marie feels.
I just wanted to understand a little bit.
