Tearmoon Empire Story

Episode 21 Night Library

Actually, Saintess Raffina... she's not free.

Recently, she has been playing with her friends completely (she wants to play) and her image is becoming entrenched, but her duties as a public official are not infrequent. Gawa is not the only Saintess. I am also doing my job properly.

After the meeting at the student council, she heard a report from her servants, mainly Monica, confirming that there was no abnormality on St. Noel's Island. Then, after dinner, he cleansed himself and went to the cathedral.

Therefore, as a saintly lady, I pray for the gratitude that the school was protected all day today and for the blessing of each student.

The bright lights of the candle illuminate the figure of a clean maiden with her knees on and hands together.

Closing her eyes, her slightly moving lips whispered the words of prayer.

"...... I hope you can have a good time with Meer tomorrow." Also, I'd be happy to avoid insect research if I can, but you can do whatever you want. It's just... if only the bugs could be avoided... if they weren't as disgusting as possible... "

...... With a personal prayer in her mouth for the last time, Rafina exhaled.

This was the effect of the advice I had received from Marlon before.

As a person... joy, pleasure, sadness, anger... To be a saintess who teaches and guides people as a person with emotions... What do you need to do to do that...?

It is to expose the conflict of being a man before God honestly and without concealing it.

And sometimes, don't hide it in front of your friends... "

As a lonely saintess, I don't want to keep my emotions in my heart alone... but to talk and consult properly...

That was the answer to her troubles and her arrival.

That's why Rafina, after offering her prayers as a public holy lady, also made a little prayer about her personal feelings. Is it a bit too personal, or does it seem like a commercial? I tried to pray without hiding what I thought.

"Alright....."

So that all official business is done, Rafina leaves the cathedral behind.

I was about to join Monica at the entrance and walk out to the girls' dorm room...

"Oh...?"

Find the girl walking from across the hallway.

"That's the person I just met at the student association meeting..."

Chloe-san, what are you doing here?

Ah, Rafina-sama!

Chloe was shaking her body as she was being called out, but immediately exhaled a sigh of relief as she noticed the identity of the opponent.

Um, can't you open the library from now on?

I've said something unexpected.

"The library...? The opening time has already passed, but is there something urgent?"

Basically, Rafina sees Chloe as someone who understands common sense well. The girl bothers to enter the library after closing hours at night.

I wonder if there's any reason for this...? If you think of it as something like that...

"Yes. Actually, I talked to you earlier in the bathroom..."

Unexpectedly, Rafina... opened her eyes wide.

"Eh...? A bath meeting with Meer-san?" I didn't invite you.... "

"Huh...?"

Chloe tilts her head slightly. So, Rafina, when I realized that I was blind... I panicked!

"Ah, uh, that's not it..."

Chloe claps her hands to Rafina, who opens her mouth.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Rafina-san, you really wanted to check the effect of the bathing agent, didn't you?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah. That's right. Yeah, that's right."

"I nodded with a really, really grim face..."

“It's only natural to be interested in the hot water in the public baths that students use.”

With a cool smile on the face of the saintly lady......

"So, what can I do for the library?"

Soon, I'm going to change my story.

"Oh, that's right. That's why I'll talk to you later. Please open it for now. It's something I might be able to do for you.”

That said, I couldn't help but admit it as Rafina.

What Meer does is mostly for the good of the people. If that Meer is useful, there is no reason to object.

If he turns his gaze towards Monica, she bows and leaves the scene.

Well then, let's head to the library.

When I got to the library, the key was already open. At the entrance, Monica stands with a cool face. As expected of a handmaiden.

Then, when he entered the library, Chloe slowly began to speak.

"Maybe... you have a plan for the joint research."

In a sudden word, Rafina accidentally blinked her eyes.

"In the bath, Master Meir, I told you." It is a fish that can only live in sea water, but on the contrary, it can also live in ordinary water. The speed of its growth... "That's why the content of the new study on famine... Maybe... you're thinking about the fish?"

"Fish...?"

Rafina puts her hand on her jaw on an unexpected subject.

Indeed, fish will be caught independently of crop failure. If we can find an efficient way to catch large quantities of fish, we may be able to cope with famine.

In addition, we have studied fish that we have not eaten before, and if ingredients can be used, the overall amount of food will increase. It seemed like a pretty good point of interest.

More than anything else, it's wonderful... "

- It seems easier to eat than raw meat dishes with insects and gut. That's right, Mr. Meer.

"This is it..."

What would I do if Meer said, "This big bug, it's crazy, it's so juicy..."?

When I was recommended with a smile on my face, what would happen to me...? Well, this was good news because it was Raffina who was seriously troubled.

"That's why I was trying to gather my knowledge... and I couldn't even stand up." I want to read this.... "

I stopped in front of a bookcase and Chloe took out the book... that's it!

A delicious recipe for secrets ~ odd fish! Eat delicious human-faced fish!

That was it!

"Mr. Chloe... hey..."

It was Raffina with a slightly drawn-out smile.
