The Failure Alchemist of the Royal Capital ~My Job Is a Failure So, I’ll Manage My Store Carefreely.~

Lillian put his hands together and prayed silently in front of the small stone statue of the Creator of the Chapel.

It was a long prayer to apologize to God, to pray and to be lost, and to speak to God in one's heart.

Afterwards, Lillian, who had finally finished her prayers, turned to the priestly man behind her.

"Father... can sin be wiped out?

Then the man smiled with kindness like pity, but shook his neck to the side.

Look at that, Lillian, leaning.And between them, only silence reigned, and a little God of Creation watched over them.

"Do you know the word redemption?

A man opens his mouth.

"... I don't know..."

With her head down, Lillian shook her head to the side.

"The sins you committed will not go away.It's not just sin, it's responsibility for what you do.And that fact remains a fact. "

"... Responsibility"

Lillian, who grew up as the daughter of a spoiled aristocrat, didn't have anything to tell me that.No, maybe there was.She was young, but she just wasn't interested.

"Let's get back to it.Redemption is an old word that means paying for sins and mistakes.The sins cannot be extinguished. But I think I can make amends...Of course, redemption for sin with death is the concept of death. "

"... redemption"

Lillian thought this man would tell me everything I didn't know.

With that in mind, Lillian looked up at him, and when he saw him, he opened his mouth again with a bitter smile.

"... I'm sorry for saying such a great thing.I'm not an official priest.He's just a man in redemption.I can use some healing magic.It's just a man walking around these parts of the world where healing is rare, and living to atone for the crimes he committed. "

Lillian opened her eyes loudly with a voice saying "... eh".

"I didn't mean to deceive you.I was attacked by a beast and my clothes were broken.It depends on the priest who borrowed the abandoned clothes here. "

That said, he shrugged his shoulders.

"You have beautiful words and manners.I wonder if you were born in a nice urban house.

That said, he tells the truth about the people living on the border.It's hard to buy potions, let alone recover a limb from a mining accident or a beast attack.

"... then you won't be able to work anymore, will you?What happens to them...? "

Fearful Lillian asks. I mean, is limb loss equal to losing the art of working?

"In the city, I have to live in slums and stuff.If it's a rural town, there may be relatives to support it...I'm sorry, but I don't have that much power, and I can't save it. "

"--I can do it!You can use Perfect Heels!

Lillian screamed as she grabbed his arms to tell the reality of the limb loser.

"Huh? What the hell are you..."

And Lillian explained her situation to the man.

Originally raised as a saint in King's Landing.Swearing to be slightly sacrificed, and consequently deprived of the Virgin's post by God.Against it, he broke the duel by challenging the newly holy girl.It was done in the presence of His Majesty the King and His Holiness the Cardinal, and he told me that there was no place to return.

"... I feel like I've done it."

The man just laughed at what he said and didn't blame Lillian for her confession.

That's why Lillian talked so much about it.

"Um, please take me with you.For your redemption journey!

This time, the man looked surprised and opened his eyes to the words.

"It's free, it's a poor journey.And no one will forgive me, just a journey to see if it will save your heart.Sometimes you even have trouble staying overnight.And you're going on a journey with the man you just met?

The man is confused by Lillian's offer.His journey was never easy.And I thought she was too ignorant.

"God did not take away my power.Then I want to atone for my sins by helping those who are beyond salvation.That's why God didn't take power from me... and that's what I want him to think. "

And then... and then Lillian kept saying the words.

"Though I am the original, I am a candidate for Virgin Mary.It's strong enough to defeat a maniac!

"You're a terrible idiot."

He smiled and reached out to Lillian.

"Well then, let's go together.... to the endless journey of redemption. "

Lillian took his hand.

The roof of the church. There was a woman in black lurking.

... you found your own way.

She's a 'bird'.They were regularly monitored by His Majesty the King.

You should report her to His Majesty.

And then the other one...

There, the raven flew in.

She was already nowhere to be found.
