"People come three times in their lifetime," he said.

Apparently, the previous life and the present life's hot season have come at once.

(Wait, God.... not now)

Two days after receiving an unexpected confession - the fifth day of the ash week.

Cecilia was alone, holding her head in the open space in front of the rescue home, where she visited to practice on the stage.What bothers her head is naturally a confession from Oscar and Gilbert.

(It didn't feel like Oscar or Gil could give an answer right away, but it wouldn't be natural to leave it like this forever!But it's more rude to say the right thing.....)

Both of you are dear to Cecilia.I want to face their feelings as sincerely and honestly as possible.However, she had never faced her love before, and suddenly she couldn't face people's feelings, so she worried about her head day and night.

(Hmm, it's annoying....)

I could see a thin neighborhood under her eyes because I couldn't sleep well because I thought too much about it here.

Are you okay, Cecil?

At that time, a voice was heard from the front.Cecilia raised her face and there was an Ain with a stunning expression.

"Ain...."

"Did you see that practice?It's going to be live soon, so why don't you fly the dialog? "

"Ah, yeah, it's a little private..."

That said, he looked worried and sat next to him.

"Did he do something again?"

"Anything?"

"Dropped potted plants, poured with hot water, hit with raw eggs....."

"Ah... that happened."

Because the two confessions were shocking, I completely forgot that someone was playing tricks on me.

If you think about it carefully, it's like a mountain of thinking about "the confession from the two of us", "stage practice", "the search for the criminal who plays pranks", "the twin strategy"... Completely over-capacited.

(I wonder if Ain's relationship with Zwei should be like this....)

Even though we're getting along, we haven't fought them in our previous lives.I'm not sure if this is the right answer.

(Maybe you should ask Grace again...)

If you ask me now, I'm sure you'll tell me more than before.

Cecilia already knows the secret of the twins who kept her quiet.

(When the stage is over, let's go and ask)

The stage shall span the sixth and seventh days of the week of ashes, and the day of the Festival of the Descending God on the thirty-first day of October, and the first and second days of the week of tomorrow, and five days.Some of the theaters in the city are already on stage, but our capital is only Lean's stamp duty and Machias' support.So, when we adjusted the standard in the middle of the most exciting five days, we got this kind of schedule.

In other words, the first day of the stage is tomorrow.

"Well, don't overdo it.Why don't you go for a little walk?You still have time for a break, don't you? "

"I see. Let's go for a while."

I apologize to the other troupe members who are practicing hard in this situation.

Cecilia stood up as she walked a little to change her mood.Then Ain stood up like that.

Huh?

"I'll come with you.I was just thinking about walking. "

Thanking him for his care, she left the rescue home with Ain.

The streets near the rescue home were quite crowded, although not as crowded as the main street.There are many shops on the streets where meat is cooked and fruit liquor is sold, and in vacant spaces, children get together and listen to pictures.The content is a myth of an example where the goddess and the devil emerge.

Walking along the street, Cecilia raised her voice of admiration.

"Wow...!"

"What are you surprised about?Maybe this is the first time you've walked down this street? "

"It's not the first time, but I didn't have much chance to see it this way.I thought it was just a busy street.... "

Ain smashed his face at Cecilia.

"The Shinto Festival is a national festival.There are a lot of people coming from other countries, right? "

"That's right...."

Even in the Sylvie family territory, festivals are literally festive at the time of the Shinto Festival, but it is still not lively with the capital.Although the Shrine Festival is quite exciting, the current situation is that Ash Week and Ming Week are not very different from everyday life.

"Oh, those are ordinary clothes."

That said, before Cecilia turned her face, there was a group of men.It's a group of four or five people.They are all dressed as usual and have red handkerchiefs on their chests.

"Oh, they're anti-Caritas."

"Against?"

Cecilia leaned his neck, and he nodded one.

"I told you, the closer to the north, the more Catholic you are, the more religious you are.Conversely, if you go south, many of them don't believe in Catholicism.They wear red for this festival. "

"Heh...."

"Depending on the region, there are places where the mythical goddess identifies with the devil, so some of them resent the Calitarianism that they practise."

You know Ain very well.

"Well, after all that, I studied with Zwei."

A lot happened, I'm sure, to the incident in which their mother died.That is also the beginning of the difference in people's religious views.

"What I learned from studying is that every position is a fabrication after all.The demon was twin, the goddess and the demon were actually the same, even the myth in the first place. "

A myth?

"Ah. All I know for certain is that there is something bad in this country that drives people's minds away, and there are people who can seal it.Everything else is a human delusion. "

Ain smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't think I'd be part of that delusion."Cecilia stares at him as he walks.

"Hey, if you keep staring at me, I'll catch you."

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

Cecilia bumps into someone from the front when she brings her face back to the front with Ain's advice.And with the same momentum, I put a butt mochi on the ground.

― ―

"Are you okay!?"

Are you okay?

As he raised his face to the voice that was called to overlap with Ain, he saw a man in a grey hooded jacket.Deep purple eyes like amethyst on dull brown hair.Her hands and feet are long and her face is amazingly ready.

(Ah....)

"I'm sorry, I was looking out."

As he smiles, he takes Cecilia's hand and makes her stand.Behind him were some people who might be friends.This one has long, dark hair and glasses.The gaze on the other side of the glasses was sharp, as if he were staring at Cecilia.

(Is that it? These people, somewhere....)

Cecilia blinks.I've never met anyone before, but I knew them for some reason.

This pre-vision is perhaps...

(Game character?)

But she couldn't remember who they were at all.I can't remember the color of my hair and eyes.

(You mean it's just a mob...?Or is it because of your mind?)

He held Cecilia's hand and inclined his neck strangely.

"Um, I'm sorry if it was a mistake.... aren't you a knight?"

"What? Do you know about me?"

Cecilia opens her eyes. Unlike the other day, today is not an example of military uniform.I'm just wearing a black shirt and slacks.

In response to her reaction, he nodded satisfactorily.

"Yes, I saw you at the parade the other day.Are the eggs okay? "

Ah, yes.

He saw the day the eggs were smashed, not the day he got on the carriage instead of Ain.

To Cecilia nodding, he shaped his eyebrows into a ha-head and gripped his hands with both hands.

"Some people are terrible.I'm sure you were jealous of all the cheers. "

He smiles gently. Cecilia blushed slightly at the smile of her target.

"Whoa, don't stop the knight here.... but now we have an edge.I look forward to seeing you again. "

He let Cecilia go with that.Then he turned his back and left.

Cecilia stared at her back for a while, but eventually noticed that the next Ain was strangely quiet and turned to her next door.

Ain's gaze was pointing in the direction that the earlier man had left.

"Ain, what's going on?"

"No, actually, I've seen him."

Really?

"Ah, at Uncle Cuddy's house....."

Huh?

When Cecilia opened her eyes, Ain took a step forward and said, "Well, maybe it's my fault."
