“Yes? Where... ”
“Come with me. ”
What was in his eyes must have been compassion. I didn't know exactly what I was thinking toward the Son of Light who was given a harsh destiny, but it seemed to me that I felt sorry for the Honorable Cardinal.
Of course I'm not sure. I had to win Templar Jen's favor.
This could be an opportunity created by him, Simon, and Cardinal Johann.
Actually, whatever it is, it's pretty interesting that he feels sympathy for me.
Isn't it too easy to get caught? ’
I can't help feeling sorry for myself.
Nevertheless, this criminal is interesting. Normal people don't act compassionately.
It's a completely different matter to empathize with a wound than to make a direct hand. In his case....
‘Is that the nature of my personality? ’
I don't know if I'm conscious, but I feel like maybe I'm reflecting on myself.
From a very young age, he felt like he had been harvested in the temple, trained as a templar before the dawn of his adulthood, and that his destiny had been set from birth.
You think your life is blessed because of your faith, but do you really think your unconscious mind is too?
I was living a free life compared to the Son of Light, but do I really feel free?
I feel pity, not blessing, for being chosen by Benigore….
‘It's a little awkward. ’
You can see yourself through me....
‘Maybe it's all smoke.... ’
Right now the only thing that matters is that this criminal takes me out.
“W-we 're too late now. I don't want to wake the others. I'm sorry..."
“That's not what I said. ”
You're not talking about taking a leisurely stroll through the Holy See, are you?
“Jenn. I'm sorry..."
“I'd like you to come with me. ”
No matter how stupid you are, you have to understand.
It's rude to knock on the window of the Honorable Cardinal at night. Even though I said I didn't want to meet him, he came to me for a walk.
Even if I am a saint of pure light, I must not be unaware of the meaning behind his words.
Obviously, it was stupidity in my face. Unconsciously nods.
I feel like I want to get out of this stuffy place and raise myself up with a blank face like I want to be comforted even for a little while. Of course he nodded.
“The night air is cold. ”
‘Yes, you have. ’
“I hope you don't mind if it's a little messy. ”
A big fur wrapped around the body in an instant.
It must have been used to conceal his identity.
‘Obviously, it's dirty. Shiva.’
That should be enough to hide his identity.
“Forgive my rudeness. ”
Then he held me with one hand and began to look up at the sky. It is clear that my wings are shorter than mine, but my flying skills are not exceptional.
Although not faster than Hyunsung Kim, the scenery and sound of the wind are heard in a foreign way.
‘I don't think this is going to work. ’
I thought it was too easy to get out...
‘You can talk to Chang Fiery and Lian.... ’
He must have taken care of the paladins and guards. Being confident would have made me think of taking me out.
Soon, a little frozen in the air, the dirty fur slightly lifted and the view of the church catches my attention.
There are as many lights shining in the night sky as there are stars shining in the city.
It is so obvious, but I have to open my eyes wide.
“Wow... ”
You have to give me a voice.
“Beautiful.”
It's not very beautiful.
“Yes, I think so, too. ”
“B-but... Jen... Is this okay?" ”
“It's probably not going to be okay. The paladins, the priests, may not be able to end with a reprimand. ”
“But... why...? ”
“I just... wanted to do this. ”
I don't think we need any more horses. I'll give you a big fat line with a bloody smile.
“So... you're an accomplice. ”
“Yes?”
“We got out together. We're accomplices. Can I go back in a few hours? ”
“About three hours… outside…. ”
“That's enough time. ”
It's only three hours, but you can be free. I can run around in a stuffy cage without anyone noticing. I can get rid of the chains for a while.
It's natural to take a stand that feels like you've been trapped since birth. It's been a long time since I've had a real smile.
Mofo who covers her body makes her smile that it's a bit annoying, but rather nice to see her.
I needed this. The Honorary Cardinal needed this time. It is right to show energetic behavior as it is said. "
Aren't you excited? It makes me feel. Let's take off the honorary cardinal for a moment and return to the curious Lee Young-young.
“Where are we going? ”
“To the place the Honorable Cardinal wants.... ”
“I'm... I'm good... ”
“Then it's a good idea to start with the night market. ”
“Is it a night market?”
“Yes.”
That's an appropriate choice.
I thought of a place where I could breathe with my people rather than a place that was too safe.
I've never actually been to a night market in the capital.
It seemed like a place far from the center, so there was nothing to find, and it was hard to visit as an honorary cardinal because of the nature of the time.
“You have to walk from here. ”
“Yes!”
The Son of Light can't take his eyes off many sights throughout his steps. These are not new but unfamiliar sights. As an honorary cardinal, I am not familiar with the distance I walk as Lee Young-young, not as a blue vice guild master.
He neither greets nor prays. Everyone is focusing solely on themselves, in fact...
‘I need you to pay attention. ’
Although it is more familiar and pleasant to pay attention, the steps that were a little staggered in the mind of being able to make tea are taken over time.
I keep seeing strange sights in my eyes. Walking fast and even touching what's on display in the store.
“Jen! Look at this. ”
“Yes.”
“What is that? ”
What the hell, Shiva. It's just local food.
“It looks like a byproduct of a low-grade monster's hamburger. I heard it can be used for food... I heard it tastes unique. ”
“What? Monsters... ”
I was precious in size. You've been reading too much in the Blue Guild.
“Would you like to try it? ”
What, are you fucking crazy? ’
I want to say, but I can't say that.
“Yes! Of course. ”
Ig Young, who is energetic, replies instead. I wait for Templar Jen to buy that mysterious food with a frowning face as if I had never been expected to experience it before.
“Here you go.”
“Yes... ”
When I cut him down with a slightly frightened look and chewed the well, the taste of bitterness began to spread in my mouth.
It's more edible than I thought, but since the visual is a bit annoying, it's not easy to pass on to the neck.
Shiva, don't fall. Yi Young. If it collapses....
“Delicious, delicious! ”
“Haha.”
“I'm suing you. This is... ”
“Would you like another? ”
"What?"
“Yes! Please, Jen. ”
Criminal scum. You did a real search later. Son of a bitch.
“Oh! Look at that. Jen, we're doing a street performance right now. ”
“Then let's go there. ”
“Yes!”
“Rise! Then I will give you the future! ”
“Ah.”
“Arise, my hero! Then I will give you the future! ”
“ ……. ”
I don't need to see what's in that street performance.
“Is it always this loud? ”
“Yes. I don't know, I don't come out often either... ”
“Hey, take one of these and go! ”
“Come and take a look at your stuff! Sell Lesser Potions! ”
“I sell all kinds of cutlery. ”
“It's a sculpture of Benigore himself. ”
“Ah!”
“There is also a statue of the Honorable Cardinal. Can I get you one?”
“With Benigore's Sculpture.... ”
“Yes. Here you go. ”
“Total, calculation…. ”
The situation is silent because you don't know the market price and have no money.
I thought it was too much to set up, but the quiet one approaches and gives me the Benigore Sculpture after the calculation.
“Thank you, Jen. ”
After a precious embrace, you run back to another place and start mixing into shops and people watching.
I encounter drunken travelers, go to various street vendors, and applaud them for their deliberate overreactions. I even have Hannah on my wrist.
“Look at this. Jen.”
“You look good together. ”
“Tomorrow I'll wear long sleeves. ”
It's not easy to pretend to be happy. Actually, your leg hurts a little bit. I'd like to go home and get some rest. Shiva, three hours is this long? True story? I have to get up early tomorrow.
But let's pretend we're happy. Pretend you're in a good mood. So I can get you out again next time.
‘I hope this time doesn't end forever. ’
I'm so happy.
Happy as a fly. I guess this is freedom.
Of course, that time doesn't last. I can see him starting to notice.
The way my smoke killed me, the way I was so worried.
However, the Honorary Cardinal does not forget his role. I know better than anyone that this is not the place I really belong.
Freedom gained for a short time. I am only grateful to Jen for giving it to me.
All I can do is ease his burden. I opened my mouth with a big smile.
“Now... shall we go back? ”
A guilty face gives me a nod.
