The next day, I boarded the carriage heading to the temple with Axion in my arms.
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“I’ve said it many times, but the barrier placed on that guy is perfect. “Even in the temple and other transcendental beings, they don’t notice that the devil’s dragon heart is embedded in his heart.”
Dazar, who was sitting across from me, waved his hand as if he was annoyed. At first glance, there was even annoyance on his face. This was because I had been constantly asking since last night whether Axion’s Dragon Heart was okay.
“What are you going to do if you’re wrong? Continuing with the dog, this time… … .”
“If you’re anxious, don’t take it with you.”
“But Axion also faced a monster.”
And he woke me up saying, “Mama.”
Dazar shrugged his shoulders as if he had given up.
“If by any chance they notice that this guy’s heart is abnormal and attack him, I will risk my life to save him.”
“… … “Then you will turn all the temples into enemies?”
“Even if that happens, I will save you. You saw it last time too. “Keeping promises.”
promise? When did you keep your promise?
As I narrowed my eyes and stared, Dazar sighed and stroked his hair.
“So from now on, don’t suddenly show up in a man’s bedroom like that. “Dangerously.”
“yes? A man? “Where is the man?”
“… … .”
As I looked around, Dazar’s face was crumpled.
Yesterday, a thought suddenly occurred to me, and I stormed into Dazar’s bedroom late at night. I caught him just as he was about to go to bed and said,
‘I think Axion should go to the temple tomorrow too!’
At those words, Dazar’s face changed as if he were crazy.
Perhaps remembering yesterday, Dazar crossed his arms, turned his face, and closed his mouth. It was a gesture that he would not open his mouth until he arrived.
Meanwhile, the carriage had already started and was running at a fairly fast speed.
Well, for now, Dazar said that much. Although I was a little anxious, I decided to calm down and head to the temple with Axion.
‘Because Axion was also asleep… … .’
I carefully held Axion, who was sleeping soundly even in the moving carriage, and took out the small booklet I had kept in my arms.
The booklet that Dazar gave me yesterday.
I brought it to read whenever I had time.
Tuk.
“oh.”
At that time, as I was taking out the booklet, something was pulled out and fell to the floor.
It was a bag containing a stone that Moroccanil left behind the other day.
I hurriedly tried to pick up the bag, but it was difficult because I was holding Axion.
“hey.”
“… … .”
“smart.”
“what?”
Dazar didn’t answer for a long time, but only after I moved to sit next to him and poked his side with my elbow did he quickly turn his head.
“I felt it last night when you suddenly burst into my room. “Don’t you feel like your distance from others is a bit too close?”
“yes? “There’s nothing you can do since you’re in a carriage, right?”
As I answered, looking back and forth between him and me, he made an annoyed face.
“I’m not talking about that distance. What I mean is, a noble lady should have a sense of distance from others, especially gentlemen… … . No, let’s not talk. “You weren’t just any noble lady.”
What is it? Those swear words.
It would be okay if you just looked at me when I called you out loud. joy.
Anyway, I pointed down with my index finger, thinking that there would be no better day to be with Dazar.
“Please pick this up. I don’t think I can pick it up because I don’t have any hands right now. Gentleman.”
Dazar looked at me with a sullen expression, then glanced at Axion, then calmly picked up the bag without complaining for some reason.
However, as he handed me the pouch without any special expression, he stopped moving for a moment.
“what is this?”
“yes? What?”
“What’s in here? What is this?”
Dazar’s face was quite serious as he looked down at his pocket. I answered by snatching the bag out of his hand and putting it back in my arms.
“What is it? “It’s a rock.”
“A stone?”
“yes. You don’t know because you touched it. “It was just a stone, nothing special?”
“Where did you get it?”
Dazar’s face was still serious.
I feel like I have sinned for no reason, so I shrug my shoulders… … As I was trying to do this, I suddenly felt aggrieved and opened my eyes.
“You know what to do? This isn’t mine, so don’t ask questions about it. “I don’t know anything either.”
“… … .”
Dazar narrowed his eyebrows slightly.
Looking at his reaction, I feel somewhat uneasy.
“Why this stone? “Is there a problem?”
“It’s not dangerous. but… … .”
“yes?”
I’m glad it’s not dangerous.
Why is your expression still like that?
“no. Looks like that idiot is doing something strange again. “Just throw it away.”
That bastard?
It was as if I knew who the owner of this stone was.
“By any chance is that idiot’s name Moroccanil?”
“… … what. “Do you even know my name?”
Dazar’s face became grim again.
“Yeah, whatever. Somehow it happened. By chance… … ?”
You are Angel, who cannot even be compared to the man in front of me.
Dazar furrowed his eyebrows as if he was completely displeased with my answer. Then he answered with a small sigh.
“okay. that’s right. His head is pounding because of all the barriers he has put up. “Why didn’t I know about this until now?”
His frowning eyes filled with question marks, but then when he looked at me, they filled with exclamation marks.
“ah. “It’s because of you.”
“hmm.”
A body impervious to barriers. I guess it was because it was next to this body.
“uh? But speaking of a barrier… … .”
Isn’t the person who can use the barrier the same transcendental person? I couldn’t get the words out that I wanted to ask.
“Ugh!”
I must have made my posture uncomfortable while talking to Dazar, which is why Axion woke up crying.
Thanks to Axion whining the entire time we arrived at the temple, I couldn’t ask Dazar more about Moroccanil.
* * *
“Wow.”
It’s really big and full of sanctity.
This was the feeling I had after arriving at the temple and looking at the large temple.
A tall, long wall entirely made of ivory.
Behind the wall, several buildings rose sharply as if they were trying to reach the sky as close as possible, and their shape gave a strange sense of stability.
“It looks interesting.”
“It’s a place with nothing to see. “The Siaster Mansion is more beautiful.”
At first, I wondered what that meant, but after going inside and walking along Dazar, I felt like I knew what it meant.
There was really nothing to see inside the temple.
Let alone the wild flowers that were commonly blooming outside, there was no garden to be found in a building like this.
Not only was there a garden, but there were no common works of art or paintings at all.
There were only white walls and floors.
Plus, no one was passing through the hallway we were walking through, so it felt like we were alone in an unreal space.
“This is the temple, right?”
“Right. “It’s also the heartland.”
“… … .”
Perhaps because we came through a separate entrance used only by transcendentalists, we entered the center of the temple in an instant.
“So there won’t be any more people. In fact, there may be nothing. “This is also the essence of the temple.”
“nature… … ?”
What the essence suddenly.
I narrowed my eyes at Dazar, who unexpectedly said a difficult word.
“Do you know the name of the god worshiped in this temple?”
“uh… … .”
What was it?
Clearly, the god served by the temple, who plays a role in protecting this continent along with the transcendental ones… … .
Um, so… … .
“doesn’t exist.”
“yes?”
“There is no name. No one knows its name. “I just call him God.”
Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever heard that anywhere.
What is God’s name?
“It’s similar to how there is nothing in this temple here. Only the saint who communicates with God knows about God. “Even the priests here don’t know.”
“Then how do you serve God?”
“well?”
Dazar chuckled as if it was funny and shrugged his shoulders.
“I’m not really interested, so I’m not sure.”
Is it true that you are a transcendental person?
Dazar strode away, making a very blasphemous remark.
When we arrived at the temple, we hugged Axion, who had stopped crying, and followed him.
Eventually, we arrived in front of a large white door that seemed to be as tall as two men.
“Now, go in first.”
“yes? “Me first?”
“huh. Besides me, other transcendents are scheduled to come. It might be bothersome if they find out I came with you, so take it first and leave. “I told you in advance that you and this guy would go in first.”
Now that I think about it, it was a bit strange that I got caught up in the ‘Day of Cracks.’ It happened because the barrier didn’t work in my body.
Quickly understanding Dazar’s intention, I nodded and pushed open the white door.
I realized this while pushing.
‘what. Now that I think about it, what do you expect me to receive from this?’
And that question was answered by itself after the door slammed shut.
“welcome.”
To be precise, it was after seeing a woman sitting somewhat in the middle of a large room.
“nice to meet you. “Daughter of Viscount Evanroir.”
The woman with long white hair looked sacred at first glance.
“I am a saint. She doesn’t really have a name. Just call me saint. Now, would you please sit in front of me?”
