215話 Ts少女が選んだ祝福
講堂というより礼拝堂、と言った方がしっくりくる
「俺達の学校にもこんな建物ができるのか?」
「ここまで立派な物ではないんじゃないの」
が感動するのにも頷ける。
壁際にはいくつもの縦に長いステンドグラスがはめ込まれていて、講堂内に色鮮やかな影を落としている。クラン・クランにある教会と酷似してはいるけれど、壁が石作りでないところが現代ちっくだ。
参拝者が腰を落ち着けて祈りを捧げるいくつもの長椅子には、子供達を中心に中学生や高校生、大人の方までいてその数は200人を超えていそうだ。さすが小・中・高一貫のマンモス校なだけはあるけど......大人は教会関係者や信徒? それとも親子で来てるとか? ブレザー姿の男子生徒グループも見受けられるので外部の生徒も参加しているようだ。
とにかく思った以上に朗読会の規模が大きくて、及び腰になってしまう。
「なぁ、あのステンドグラス......本物の宝石が埋め込まれてないか?」
晃夜の指摘に改めてステンドグラスに目を向ければ、確かに七色に光る原石がいくつも散りばめられているように見えた。赤、青、緑、黄、紫、白、黒、と光の祝福を、講堂内へと入った者に注ぐ様はまさに圧巻ものだ。だけれど、あれは宝石なんて高価な物ではないと
「訊太郎、なんでわかるんだ?」
「信仰の威光を知らしめるために、美しく教会を建築する事はあるけどさ。さすがに高値の宝石を見せつけるように配置するのは、成り金趣味っぽくて神聖な場でありながら
夕輝が予測してくれたおかげで、俺は親友たちに『宝石ではない』とわかった理由を言わずに済んだ。
「それより朗読会の参加者、というか読み聞かせする人は関係者席で待機って書いてあるけど......」
俺達が座るべき椅子は読み聞かせが行われる壇上のすぐ傍、最前列付近であり、そこまで辿り着くのにしばらくかかりそうだ。
シスター・レアンから届いた資料を見ながら講堂内を歩いてはいるけど、やっぱりどうにも移動し辛い。
それに、もう一つの懸念事項もあった。
「なぁ、夕輝......あいつら」
晃夜が夕輝に何か言いかけたけれど、二人は素知らぬ顔で俺の後を付いて来てくれる。平然としている親友たちだけれど俺にはわかる。
二人の纏う空気が、講堂内に入ってから妙にピリピリとしているのだ。
どうやら夕輝たちが警戒しているのは、白のブレザー制服を着ている男子集団、他校から来ている生徒達のようだ。あちらも妙に険呑な視線で、俺達......というよりも晃夜と夕輝の二人を睨みつけている気がする。
ちょっと遠目だから判別つかないけど、間違いなく感じの良いオーラは出していない。
「あの人達と知り合いなのか?」
「あれは『日本皇立学園』の生徒達だね」
「早い話、あそこにいる連中は特殊な奴らだな」
有名校の生徒か何かだろうか?
何で二人が警戒してるのか気になる所だけど、俺も集中しなければならないクエストがあるので彼らから視線を外す。
というのも、目的の人物が視界に入って来たからだ。彼女は教会で見るいつもの黒を基調にしたシスター服ではなく、純白の立派な法衣を身にまとっていた。
シスター・レアンのお出ましだ。
にこやかに微笑む彼女がしとやかに手を上げ、こちらに来なさいと関係者席の方を示している。よくよく見れば、さっきの女子小学生たちが座っている隣の位置だ。
「こんにちは、シスター・レアン」
まずは挨拶をしなければと思い立ち、右手で胸の前に円を描き、
シスター・レアンも俺の祝福に対して、すぐに返礼してくれる。
「貴方はこっちの席よ。それと今の私はシスターではなく
司教
「今日は緊張するかもしれないけれど、他の方々も貴方が来るのを楽しみにしていたから、精一杯がんばってちょうだいね」
「はい、レアン
「いい子ね」
にこにこと慈母のごとく笑みを絶やさない彼女だったけど、逆にそれが怪しく感じてしまうのは、姉が彼女の事をかなり警戒しているからだろうか。完全なる不信は抱いてはいないけれど、『
レアン司教様に薦められるがままに席へつくと、親友たちは俺の後ろの席に無言で腰を下ろした。どうやらレアン司教様に着席を促されたようだ。
「もう間もなく朗読会は始まるわ」
レアン司教様の言葉を耳にして、俺は再度自分の目標を確認する。
第一関門はしっかりと朗読会を終える事。
そして最後の第三関門は、彼女たちから有益な情報を持ち帰る。
この第一関門と第二関門は同時にできそうな気がする。というのも、一番反発心のある
第三関門については、最初の課題をクリアしない事には始まらないので良案に頭を悩ませるより、朗読会を上手にこなすのに集中すべきだ。
そんな風にして自分の目標を再確認していると、所々でざわめいていた人々が一斉に口を閉ざし始めた。何かと思って周囲を窺えば、レアン司教様の隣に座っていた好々爺とした老人が席から立ったのだ。まるで、その人物から静寂の波が講堂内に広がっていくかのように、数秒と経たないうちに物音が一切かき消えた。
講堂には200人以上の人達がいるのに、この静けさは異様だ。
「朗読会を始めます」
ただの一言、よく響く声で立派な法衣を着たおじいさんが開会を宣言する。
すると『女神さまのお導きを』と人々は厳かに呟き、こうして朗読会が始まった。
「人々は平等のもとに生まれはしません。それぞれの色、環境、才能を持ってこの世に生を受けます」
朗読会の一番手は黒髪ロングの
「されど悲観せずに生きるのです。生まれは選べずとも、生き方の選択は自由なのですから」
彼女は三人のうちで一番信仰心が高いように思えたけれど、大人数を前にしてもその堂々たる朗読姿は信徒としてさすがと言えた。
小学校中学年の女子が教典を手にし、教壇に置かれた給水用の瓶には一切口を付けずに語り続けている。そんな様子に若干気圧されつつも感心してしまう。俺だったら喉が渇いて、一口は含んでしまうと思う。
そのために家からペットボトルを持参したのだから......。
「ですが、中には特別な存在もいます。それが『聖童女の系譜』であり『女王の卵』です。彼女たちは、崇高にも己がための生き方を選べず、我々を導きし存在......」
女神の意志を反映して生まれた者。
とも呼ばれ、女神の声を聞ける人間。それが『女王の卵』と呼ばれる存在のようで、教会内の歴史を辿っても、『女王の卵』になれた者は数人しかいないようだ。それが現在では、少なく見積もっても十人はいるとかいないとかと語られてゆく。
「いと天高き神々により愛されし
かなり俺の不安を煽る語りだ。
「私達が享受している平和は、博愛と自己犠牲によって成り立っている事を忘れぬよう、日々に感謝しましょう」
ちゃんは最後に俺に微笑みかけて朗読を終了させた。
彼女が朗読した教典『聖童女の系譜』の内容で、『女王の卵』に関する知識は漠然と知れたけれど......まるで彼女が俺に聞かせるために、この場で朗読内容を決めたのではないか、と少しだけ疑りの目を向けてしまう。
それに『聖童女の系譜』が......虹色の神力を引き出す、という説明が妙に胸に引っ掛かった。仮に虹色の神力が『スキル』だとしたら......その発生源となっている、と言われているようなものだ。だって先程彼女たちは、教会内で俺が『女王の卵』だと
ちゃんが言っていた内容を吟味していると、二番手の読み手が紡ぐ教えが始まった。
語りを担当するのは、俺にミーハーな思いを抱いていたメガネっ
という名の箱庭に住まう以上、良き方にも悪しき方にも変化は訪れます」
彼女は皇太子殿下の婚約騒動を話題に出していた時とは大違いの態度で、幼いながらも清らかなシスター然とした落ち着きはらった喋りで、『白銀の天使と野獣たち』という物語りを奏でている。
世界で初めて聖人が現界した都市、『始祖の街』と呼ばれる聖都イェルサレム。そこはかつて、血で血を
「己が色をしっかりと持ち、虹色の女神さまの存在をその心に宿せば、必ずや良き方へと運命の道は切り開かれるでしょう」
このお話はクラン・クラン内で、先駆都市ミケランジェロに飢餓で暴走し、大量発生したビック・スライムの群れが迫った時の事態に酷似している。やはり『
「悪しき心も良き色に染まる。この偉業にて、白銀の天使さまはその身を以ってこれを証明されました」
そして明日香ちゃんも、ニコリとこちらに柔らかな笑みを浮かべ教典を閉じた。
「私達の心にも白銀の天使さまがおわす事を忘れなきよう、日々を慎ましく生きてゆきましょう」
女子小学生のシスター見習いである三人中二人までもが、俺が質問を投げかけた教典の内容を朗読してくれた。これは教えてくれたと感謝するべきなのか、それとも妙に俺を意識していた点からプレッシャーをかけてきた、と見るべきなのか難しいところだった。
そんな判断に困る彼女たちの朗読に悶々としていると、ついに三人目の読み聞かせが始まった。
もちろん語り手になるのは、ショートカットが良く似合う
まず彼女の後ろには黒い布が上から垂らされた大きな箱? のような物が鎮座されていた。さらにその手前にはワールドカップで優勝したチームが手にするような立派な金杯があり、何かのデモンストレーションが行われる空気がヒシヒシと伝わってくる。
今まで静寂を保ってきた視聴者の中から、あちらこちらからどよめきが上がっている。
『聖杯......ひしめく......玉......』
『......物だ』
周囲のひそまった声から、かろうじて聞き取れたのはどれも断片的な言葉で何が起こるのかは不明。だけど拝聴者のそわそわした様子から、紀伊子ちゃんの朗読が特別なものだとわかる。
そもそも彼女は三人の朗読者の中で、順番が最後を任されている。その扱いからして、紀伊子ちゃんが信仰学の成績で一位を修めたのだと
の方に目を向ければ、ニコニコと壇上を眺めるばかりで俺の怨みがましい視線には一切気付いていない。
紀伊子ちゃんは定型句とお祈りを捧げる仕草から入り、講堂内のざわめきを収めた。
「本日は敬虔なる信徒に集まって頂いた感謝を込めて、ここに
バサっと音を立て、紀伊子ちゃんの背後にあった漆黒の布が降ろされる。すると彼女の後ろにあるものが露わとなり、講堂内が再びどよめきに溢れた。俺もその例に漏れず、感嘆の吐息を漏らしてしまう。
「聖書『銀氷姫に送る救済』に記される
ガラスケースには、見間違いようもない程に見慣れた人物が力なくうなだれていた。標本に吊るされるように保管され、厳かな装飾が施された服に身を包む姿は、その神聖性が強調されている。それは生きた美姫人形。
「ブルーホワイトたん......」
では聖遺物として扱われているのに驚愕を隠せない。なぜ、どうして、そして現実では完全に動かぬ人形になっているのに、胸の奥がチクリと痛む。
そんな俺の内心を無視するように、紀伊子ちゃんは朗読を始める。
彼女は祭壇に置かれた金杯を両手で持ち、厳かに『銀氷姫に送る救済』を諳んじている。しかし、俺は彼女の口から語られる物語が耳に入ってこない。なぜなら、紀伊子ちゃんがその手に持つ金杯に目を奪われてしまったからだ。正確には金杯の中に注がれ、置かれている青白い石だ。うっすらと金杯の淵に
「街の救世主である銀氷姫を裏切ったのは、まさに救われたはずの街人たちでした」
あの聖杯にあるのは、俺がゲーム内でブルーホワイトたんを雪姫人形として目覚めさせるために使った
紀伊子ちゃんは粛々と金杯を掲げ、『彼女、雪姫は死んでもなお我々を良き方へと導いています』と呟いた。
「みなさんはご存知かもしれませんが、発売されたばかりの看護用ロボット......通称『
』教会が人々の生活に役立つ存在だとアピールするだけでなく、日本の一企業といとも簡単に提携を結べる技術力、世間に強い影響力を持っているという示威の含まれたデモンストレーションだ......。
「聖遺物は多くの人々の手助けとなり、人々に幸福をもたらしています」
すなわち、それだけ虹色の女神さまが偉大な存在であり、教会の力を知らしめ、社会的にも貢献していて、なおかつ一般の企業と協力体勢にもあると。
この肝心な宣伝には、一番優秀そうな紀伊子ちゃんが選ばれたわけだ。
「これも白銀の天使さまが、裏切られた銀氷姫に救いの手を伸ばした聖行によってもたらされた、現在に生きる奇跡の結果なのです」
紀伊子ちゃんは金杯を置き、次いで横にある給水瓶に手をかけた。清里奈ちゃんや明日香ちゃんは一口も含まずに朗読を終えたのに対し、彼女は喉が乾いてしまったのだろうか。
が人を欺き、銀氷姫が受けた仕打ちのような、罪深き蛮行に至ったなら――」
しかし、紀伊子ちゃんは瓶を口元に持ってゆく事はなかった。その代わりに何故か俺を厳しい目付きで見つめ、左手を虚空へと伸ばした。
彼女はまるでゲーム内で魔法を行使する時のように詠唱じみた言葉を諳んじた。それに対し、ザワリと周囲がまたも波打つ。
『奇跡を起こせるのか......』
『我らに祝福を......』
その言葉が終わると、給水用の瓶から透明な液体が空中へと踊り出た。一瞬にして散布された水粒は、煌びやかに光を反射し、すぐに凝縮していく。そして紀伊子ちゃんの伸ばす右手に集束し、それは一本の剣と化した。
鉄で生成されたような剣ではなく、あくまでもそれは水。
きの剣が貴方の胸を貫くでしょう」
まるで俺に言っているようなその仕草に、ちょっとだけビクリとしてしまう。
魔法を扱える人間がいる......という事実が人々に受け入れられ、常識がゲームによって浸食されているのをまざまざと見せつけられた気分になるな......。
紀伊子ちゃんが手も使わずに、水剣を瓶に戻した事で彼女の朗読会は終わりを迎えた。
『奇跡を持つ者が教会にはたくさんいますが......珍しいですね』
拍手も喝采もないけれど、彼女の朗読会は大成功だったのだろう。その証拠に、彼女を見る視聴者たちの雰囲気が冷静と情熱の間を行き交い、興奮と信仰心はかなり高まった様子。
「訊太郎......その、あまり気負わないようにね?」
「嫌がらせなんてぶっ飛ばしちまえ。読む練習ならしたんだし、大丈夫だ」
夕輝と晃夜が俺に激励を飛ばしてくれるのに感謝し、俺は壇上へと登ってゆく。こちらへと降りてくる紀伊子ちゃんが、すれ違いざまに誇らしげに笑みをこれみよがしに飛ばしてくるが、俺も負けじと笑顔で応じる。
壇上に立つと無数の視線が俺に集中し、突き刺さった。
好意的な感じよりも奇異の目や、興味本位の目ばかりだ。正直、値踏みされているような空気でいい気分にはなれない。
とはいっても、黙って突っ立っているわけにはいかないので、祈りの定例句と仕草をし持ってきた聖典を開く。
』による力が、女神様に与えられた祝福、奇跡という扱いになっているのならば......俺も何かしないと認められないってわけか。
その辺はなんとか乗り越えられそうか?
神の定めた法を侵し、禁忌に触れる錬金術が......奇跡とも祝福とも呼ばれる日が来ようとは、あまりにも皮肉めいた事態に不敵な笑みを浮かべてしまう。
217 215 Stories Ts Girl'S Chosen Blessings
Instead of the auditorium, the chapel, we were overwhelmed by the fun of going to regular school.
"Can we have a building like this in our school?
"It's not as good as it sounds."
I can also snort that Yuki and Koya are touched.
A number of longitudinally stained glasses are mounted on the wall to shed bright shadows in the auditorium. Although it is very similar to the church in Clan Clan, the fact that the walls are not made of stone is modern-day.
Several benches where worshippers calm their hips and pray seem to have more than 200 middle school students, high school students and adults, mainly children. That's just a small, medium, and high consistency mammoth school... are adults church officials or believers? Or are you here as a parent or a child? External students also appear to be participating as a group of male students in blazers can also be seen.
Anyway, the reading is bigger than I thought, and it makes me lumpy.
"Hey, those stained glasses... aren't they embedded with real gems?
If I turned again to the stained glass to shake night allegations, it did look like there were a number of scattered raw stones glowing in seven colors. Red, blue, green, yellow, purple, white, black, and light blessings are exactly what you pour into those who enter the auditorium. But instinct (...) detects that that is not an expensive object.
"Shintaro, how do you know?
"Sometimes I build a beautiful church to let the glory of faith know. Placing high priced gems just to show off is a golden hobby and a sacred place, but it gives everyone a vulgar image, doesn't it?
Thanks to Evening Fai's prediction, I didn't have to tell my best friends why I found out I wasn't a gem.
"Rather than that, it says that the participants in the recital, or those who make them read, wait in the relevant seats..."
The chair we should be sitting in is right next to the front row where the readings take place, and it's going to take a while to get there.
I'm walking in the auditorium looking at the material I received from Sister Lean, but it's still very moving and painful.
Plus, there was another concern.
"Hey, Evening Fai...... those guys"
Shaking night almost said something to Evening Fai, but the two of them follow me with strange faces. Flat out best friends, but I can tell.
The winding air between the two of them has been strangely tingling since entering the auditorium.
Apparently, Evening Fai and the others are alarmed by a group of boys in white blazer uniforms, students coming from other schools. It's a strangely dangerous gaze over there, and I feel like I'm staring at the two of you more than we are... shaking night and evening glow.
It's a little far-sighted, so I can't tell, but I definitely haven't put out an aura that feels good.
"You know those people?
"Those are students from the Royal Japanese Academy."
"Quick story, those guys over there are special guys."
Is it a student at a prestigious school or something?
I'm just wondering why you two are on guard, but I have a quest to focus on, too, so I take my gaze off of them.
Because the person of interest came into view. She was not wearing the usual black based Sister clothes she sees in church, but a fine coat of pure white.
It's Sister Lean.
She smiles softly and raises her hand, indicating the person in charge's seat to come here. If you look closely, it's next door to the girls' elementary school sitting there earlier.
"Hello, Sister Lean"
I think I need to say hello first, circle in front of my chest with my right hand, and do my own prayer trick for the Rainbow Goddess (Arco Illis) Church.
Sister Lean will return the favor to me soon.
"You're in this seat. And now I'm a bishop, not a Sister. I'm sorry I couldn't communicate."
"Are you the bishop? Okay."
"You may be nervous today, but the others were looking forward to seeing you, so do your best."
"Yes, Dear Bishop Lean (Bishop)"
"Good boy."
She couldn't stop laughing at me and Mother Mercy, but on the contrary, I wonder if that makes me feel suspicious because my sister is quite wary about her. Although I don't have complete disbelief, I can't really have a good image of the 'Rainbow Goddess (Arco Iris)' church because I expect it to be involved in changing reality.
When Bishop Lean recommended me but I went to my seat, my best friends silently lowered their back to the seat behind me. Apparently, Bishop Lean urged me to take a seat.
"The recital will begin soon."
Hear what Bishop Lean has to say, and I will check my goals again.
The first gate is to finish the recital thoroughly.
And the last third gate brings back useful information from them.
I feel like this first and second gate could be done at the same time. Because Kiiko, the most rebellious, was just being aggressive because I behaved inappropriately as a 'reader'. Then he may appeal to a place where he can read it well and admit it to nature if he survives the recital safely.
As for the third gate, it doesn't start by not completing the first challenge, so we should focus on doing the recital well rather than bothering our heads with the good proposal.
Reaffirming his goals in that way, the people who had been bothering everywhere began to shut their mouths simultaneously. When I thought of something, I looked around, and a favorable old man, sitting next to Bishop Lean, stood from his seat. It was as if a wave of silence were spreading from the person into the auditorium, and within seconds, any noise was cancelled.
With over 200 people in the auditorium, this tranquility is unusual.
"I'll start the recital"
Just one word, a grandfather in a fine coat of law with a commonly sounding voice declares the meeting open.
Then the people groaned harshly, "Guiding the Goddess," and thus began the recitation.
"People are not born under equality. Live in the world with each color, environment and talent."
The number one player in the recital was Rina Kiyohara, who had long dark hair.
"But we live without pessimism. Even if you can't choose to be born, you're free to choose your way of life."
She seemed to have the highest faith of the three, but even in front of a large number of people, that grand reading was just as good as being a believer.
Girls in elementary and middle school hold the classroom and continue to speak without a single incision on the bottle for water supply placed on the stage. Even as I get a little barometric pressure from that, I admire it. If I were you, I'd be thirsty and I'd include a bite.
That's why I brought a pet bottle from the house...
"But some of them are special. That's The Genealogy of the Holy Girl and The Queen's Egg. They nobly cannot choose the way of life for themselves, leading us and being..."
Who was born reflecting the will of the goddess.
Also known as the god of the living, a man who hears the voice of the goddess. That seems to be the presence known as the 'Queen's Egg', and even following the history within the Church, only a few have been able to become the 'Queen's Egg'. Today, it is said that there are no ten people, even if they are quoted less.
"Loved by the heavenly gods. The chosen genealogy that begets the merciful believers. The key to salvation, which expresses the divine power of rainbow, is the genealogy of the Virgin."
It's a story that pretty much fuels my anxiety.
"Remember that the peace we enjoy is made up of fraternity and self-sacrifice."
That concludes, Kiyorina finally smiled at me and ended the reading.
Although her knowledge of "The Queen's Egg" was vaguely known in the contents of the classic "The Genealogy of the Holy Girl" she recited... I turn my suspicious attention only slightly to whether she decided on the recitation on this occasion to make me listen.
Besides, the explanation that "The Genealogy of the Holy Girl"... draws on the divine power of rainbow was strangely hooked to my chest. Assuming the rainbow divine power is' skill '... it is the source of it, as they say.' Cause earlier they said they were whispering in the church that I was the Queen's Egg...
As I was intriguing what Qing Lina was saying, the teaching spinning by the second reader began.
The person in charge of the story is Tomorrow Kazuka, my glasses daughter (Ko), who had feelings for me.
"Beyond living in a box yard named Time, change comes for the better and for the worse."
She has a very different attitude than when Her Royal Highness's engagement disturbance was on the subject, with a young yet sober sisterly calm talk, playing the story of 'Silver Angels and the Beasts'.
Jerusalem, the first city in the world where saints were present, is the holy capital known as the 'City of the First Fathers'. Once upon a time, there were fierce mercenaries who redeemed their blood with blood, and they were bewitched by irrational lunatics who were involved in killing each other. Such was the city where they lived, attacked by the Beasts of Rapture. At that time, once (once) a large group by the "wild beast of bulimia" passed, people knew with the despair of doom that human beings, food, crops and all things in the city would be eaten up, and that natural disaster was imminent in the Holy City of Jerusalem. That's when they put together the mercenaries lunatics and said there was a girl who faced the fate of doom. It was her daughter, the angel of silver sent by the Rainbow Goddess, who was struck in the chest by her teachings of 'All Friendly', and the madmen became respectful warriors before her. And the mercenaries, who called it the last battle and said that once this battle was over, they would be free from the chain of blood, came together to face difficulties and save the city brilliantly.
"If you hold the colour firmly and dwell on the presence of the Rainbow Goddess in your heart, your destiny will necessarily open the way to the better"
This story, within the Clan Clan, is grossly similar to what happened when a herd of mass-emergent Vic Slime loomed in the pioneering city of Michelangelo with famine. I can still be confident that the "Rainbow Goddess (Arco Illis)" church is asleep with an offensive book about Clan Clan.
"Bad hearts stain good colors, too. In this great work, the angel of silver proved it with his own hands."
And Tomorrow Kazuka also closed the classics with a soft grin on Nicole and here.
"Let us live our days carefully so that we may not forget what the angel of silver has sent us."
Even two out of three Sister apprentices in elementary school for girls recited the contents of the classics I threw questions at. This was a difficult part of whether I should be thanking you for telling me, or whether I should be seen as pressuring you from the point that you were strangely aware of me.
Stuffed by their readings of such difficulty in judgment, a third person finally began to read.
Of course, the storyteller is Kiiko, whose shortcuts look good, but the situation was somewhat different from the two previous ones.
First a big box with a black cloth hanging from the top behind her? things like that were seated. Plus there's a fine golden cup in front of it, like the team that won the World Cup, and the air of some kind of demonstration coming through.
From the audience that has remained silent so far, the twist is rising from here and there.
"Holy Grail... Himmer... Ball..."
"... things."
From the hiccups around me, it's unclear what happens in all the fragmented words that I could barely hear. But I can tell from the softness of the worshipper that Kiiko's readings are special.
In the first place she is among the three readers, whose order is entrusted to the end. As a result of that treatment, Kiiko can see that she finished first place with her faithology grades. In other words, I understood that this reading was the best stage of the day on which the Church side focused its efforts.
If you turn your eyes to Bishop Lean (Bishop), you just look at Nico and on the stage and my grievances. I don't notice anything in my gaze.
Kiiko entered from her stereotype and prayer tricks and put away the stirring in the auditorium.
"With thanks for gathering with the devout faithful today, I hereby present the Holy Relic (Durelic) -"
Basa makes a noise and the pitch-black cloth behind Kiiko is unloaded. Then what was behind her became dewy, and the auditorium overflowed again. I don't leak to that example either, I leak an exclamation exhale.
"I received permission from the Church to worship the Holy Relic (Durelic) and the" stripped Silver Ice Princess "described in the Bible" Salvation to Send to Silver Ice Princess ""
The glass case was filled with people who were so familiar with it that they could not be mistaken. Its sanctity is accentuated by the appearance of being kept hanging on specimens and dressed in clothing with strict decoration. That's a living princess doll.
"Blue White Tan......"
I can't hide my amazement that she is treated as a sacred relic in reality (this way). Why, why, and even though in reality you are a completely immobile doll, the back of your chest hurts ticklishly.
Kiiko begins to recite, so as to ignore my insides like that.
She holds the golden cup placed on the altar with both hands and strictly adorns the "salvation to send to Princess Silver Ice". But I can't hear the stories that come out of her mouth. Because Kiiko was blinded by the golden cup in his hand. A blue-white stone poured and placed in a golden cup to be exact. Running frost (servant) in the abyss of a golden cup, it looks familiar in its jade medulla (gibberish), which gathers cold air.
"It was precisely the city people who were supposed to have been saved who betrayed the city's savior, Princess Silver Ice"
What's on that chalice is the material I used to awaken the Blue White Tan as a Snow Princess doll in the game, the Frost Stone Core (Froslalda), which hits perennially.
Kiiko solemnly raised her golden cup and murmured, 'She, Snow Princess, is still leading us to the better, even if she dies'.
"As you may all know, the just released Nursing Robot... commonly known as' Home Nursing Dolls (Care Dolls) 'was developed and successfully commercialized because of the relief and cooperation provided by the faithful"
Not only does this appeal to the 'Rainbow Goddess (Arco Illis)' Church as a useful presence in people's lives, but it is also a demonstration of the technical ability to easily partner with a Japanese company and the strong influence it has on the public...
"Holy relics are helping many people and bringing happiness to them"
That is, that is how great the Rainbow Goddess is, that she is made aware of the power of the Church, that she also contributes socially, and yet in a cooperative position with companies in general.
Kiiko, who seems the best, was chosen for this pivotal publicity.
"This is also the result of the miracle of living today, brought about by the sacred line of salvation extended to the betrayed Silver Ice Princess,"
Kiiko placed the gold cup and then laid her hands on the water bottle to the side. Did Kiyorina and Tomorrow Hana finish their readings without even a bite, while she got her throat dry?
"And if it deceived a man, and led to a sinful barbarity, like the work that Princess Silver Ice had received -"
But Kiiko never took the bottle to her mouth. Instead, he stared at me with a harsh eye for some reason and stretched his left hand into the void.
She chanted words as if they were time to exercise magic in the game. In contrast, the zawali and surroundings wave once in a while.
"Can you do a miracle..."
"Bless us..."
At the end of the word, a clear liquid danced out of a bottle for feeding water into the air. Sprayed in an instant, the water grains reflect the light brilliantly and immediately condense. And concentrated on Kiiko's stretching right hand, which turned into a single sword.
It's not a sword like it was produced of iron, it's only water.
"If it deceives a man and leads to a sinful barbarism, like the work that the stripping princess received - the sword of the magistrate will pierce your chest."
It's like you're telling me. I'm just a little freaked out about that trick.
Don't feel like people have accepted the fact that there are people who can handle magic... and made it look different that common sense is being eroded by games...
Her recitation came to an end when Kiiko put the water sword back in the bottle without even using her hands.
'There are plenty of miracle bearers in the church...... that's unusual'
No applause or compliment, but I guess her recital was a great success. To that evidence, the atmosphere of the viewers who see her went between calm and passion, and the excitement and faith increased considerably.
"Shintaro... don't feel too bad about that, do you?
"You can't harass me. I practiced reading, and I'm fine."
Evening Fai and Shaking Night thanked me for skipping the encouragement, and I climbed to the stage. Kiiko, who is coming down this way, is definitely proud to fly his grin to the brink, but I also respond with a loss and a smile.
When I stood on the stage, countless gazes focused on me and pierced me.
More odd eyes than favorable ones, more intriguing eyes. Honestly, I don't feel good with the kind of air I'm being trampled on.
That said, we can't just stand by silently, so we open up the scriptures that we've brought with us prayer routines and tricks.
If the "Rainbow Goddess (Arco Illis)" church treats the power of "Talented (Holder)" as a blessing, a miracle, given to the Goddess... can't you admit I won't do anything either?
Is that area going to get over somehow?
The day will come when alchemy, which violates God's ordained law and touches contraindications... is called a miracle or a blessing, makes me laugh invincibly at matters that are too cynical.
