Enrite Selene was a human born from the transformation of the magic sword of light.
Unlike other magic swords, El Tesoikve contained its own consciousness.
After the disappearance of the gods and dragons, it briefly hid its presence before revealing itself as a human.
From then on, Enrite settled in the Alain Kingdom, proving her strength and becoming a white apostle and cardinal of the Kinessian Divine Church.
I cant reveal my true identity until I have to.
Enrite left the Kinessian Divine Church and always stayed close to the protagonist because she felt the potential for him to wield the magic sword of light.
Eventually, the protagonist proved his worth and Enrite acknowledged it, revealing her true identity.
If I pretend not to know now, Ill only raise suspicion.
Sion turned her gaze while feeling a sense of tension.
Enrite was emanating magical power while staring at the cup, showing almost no emotions on her face, but her beauty was unmistakable.
She feels like Hanette in a way. Is it because shes a heroine?
Sion could sense sothing that couldnt be put into words, but it was like being drawn to a person.
It felt like seeing another Hanette, but with no fundantal differences.
Hanette is like soone who might burst out at any mont, but Enrite feels like youre being sucked in.
Sions abstract feeling was clear.
Hanette and Enrite seed to have sothing transcendental.
They could reveal their true forms at any ti, but it seed like they only left behind traces in secret.
Im starting to understand what it ans to be an extra.
Sion felt a sense of alienation for the first ti since coming to this world.
Enrite was a heroine and a powerful figure, just as important as the protagonist.
As an individual extra, Sion felt like there was nothing he could do.
If Hanette also becos stronger, she might start to emit a similar atmosphere.
Thats all the more reason to have Exceed Rain.
Sion had long accepted the fact that he was an Extra.
But that was because the person nad Sion Laird was an Extra, and there was no reason for him to conform to that role.
So, even if it was a little reckless, he tried to obtain Exceed Rain to establish his own foundation and territory.
I dont have any intention of becoming the protagonist, even if I cant.
He couldnt escape from being an Extra in modern society.
He always suffered losses, and as ti passed, his body and mind deteriorated.
When he was buried in human malice, he began to obsess about the reason he was born and the value of his life.
Otherwise, he couldnt bear the weight of an unchanging life.
I will find my own life.
He had never thought about becoming the protagonist in the first place.
There had to be a protagonist for this world to reach a predetermined conclusion.
He was just following that flow and trying to fulfill his small desires.
Im a little regretful to say goodbye to Hanette, but
Sion frowned montarily.
Hanette was soone who would soon leave, and at best, she would only engage in petty quarrels and childish pranks.
But why did he suddenly think of Hanette?
Did I develop feelings for her?
Sion chuckled and belatedly regained his senses.
Hanette was soone who would briefly cross his path, and she would be a person who would be with the protagonist.
There was no place for him to stand next to her.
I cant expect sothing like that from
You seem a little different from the other nobles.
What do you an by that?
You speak less.
Enrite looks away from the bowl and ets Sions gaze.
Nobles who usually demand of holy water constantly ramble on, losing their focus.
Perhaps they were trying to show off or make shallow gestures to get closer to her.
But Sion hadnt said a word other than greetings and replies since entering this room. So it was natural to beco curious.
I cant disturb you while youre working.
Do you really think so?
Well the process of making holy water is a bit fascinating.
Enrite looked puzzled, but imdiately closed her mouth.
He was showing a different side than the nobles she had always seen.
Why would a person with a clear mind want this kind of holy water?
Even if you drink holy water, it may not have any special effects.
It cant be helped. Havent I already paid the price?
If I make the holy water, it will cost more than other priests. But that doesnt an the efficacy of the holy water will improve.
Still, I need the holy water made by Cardinal Selene.
Can you tell the real reason?
Enrite instinctively sensed that Sions reason was false.
If soone with a sound mind wanted to buy such useless holy water, there had to be a reason.
Above all, she was sure, because of Sions gaze and determined voice.
I need the holy water for my future. Is that not enough?
What future are you envisioning?
I see a future where I dont harm anyone and neither do I want to dont get hurt.
It was an ambiguous but safe answer.
He could have simply said that he wished for peace and rest, but he referred to himself and soone else.
Perhaps Sion Laird already knew about true peace and rest.
Ill refund the money.
Excuse ? What will happen to the holy water?
I will give you the holy water as well.
?
Sions face stiffened, speechless for a mont.
Enrite took her hand off the bowl and elegantly folded it over her leg.
The water in the bowl had taken on a calm golden hue.
There is no such thing as perfect peace. Only peace for so parts exists.
Um Soone has to make sacrifices, right?
Yes. Sacrifices must be made to obtain peace. Thats why it can never be perfect.
Enrites eyes twisted as she recalled countless mories.
Those who used El Tesoikve had always sacrificed themselves.
There were various reasons, but at the core of it was a will to protect sothing precious.
She pitied them and also thought them foolish.
How can anyone beco perfect?
Even knowing that, will you not cause harm?
We strive to beco perfect precisely because were not. Isnt it valuable just to have made the effort, even if we dont beco perfect?
Enrite realized her lingering feelings anew and lowered her gaze.
They always sacrificed themselves but never spared any effort.
So might fail, but no one gave up halfway.
Perhaps that was why she couldnt forget them.
I see them in this human.
Enrite dimly recalled the emotions she had felt as a sword.
It was as if sothing fateful was flowing from Sion Laird.
He didnt possess the sa qualities as they did, but perhaps soday he would awaken his potential and face herself once again.
Its been a while since Ive t soone with such thoughts. Thank you for your kind words.
I am honored that the White Apostle looks favorably upon .
Sion answered humbly, but he couldnt understand why Enrite was being so friendly.
He had just expressed his usual thoughts in words.
Im not sure whats good about it but its a benefit.
In addition to the Holy Water, there was one more thing he had to buy.
To buy that item, he would have to bid at an auction, and it would cost quite a bit of money.
If he could get back the money he spent on Holy Water, he might have so breathing room.
Then, since Im here, why dont I buy a gift or sothing?
The only reason Fred had given him money was for one thing.
But since the situation wasnt favorable, he had been trying to ignore that intention.
Now that he had so room to spare, couldnt he go along with that intention a little?
If I buy sothing expensive, it will make a better impression, right?
