Fiona dragged Bill Curtis to the place where he usually gathered people to preach. That place as usual also filled with people who followed Bill.
Fiona laughed, Co on, Bill, say it yourself.
Mm.. what
That youre actually just an ordinary guy whos useless and doesnt have any special power.
Fiona whispered, playing with the hopes of the desperateyou should pay the price for it, you impostor.
Do..do you think you can touch and be safe?
Dont worry. Do you think I didnt even do sothing basic like that?
Fiona grabbed and dragged him onto the podium.
Now its the ti to deny yourself that youre special.
Bill was forced to stand on the podium.
Everyone below focused on him.
Count, please will you give the answer today?
Can my child ever co back?
Fiona whispered softly from behind. Do it faster.
Bill closed his eyes tightly and his mouth stuttered.
Oh.. oh, I have sothing to say today.
.
Actually.. I.. I cant do anything.
The buzzing crowd quickly cald down.
I..I.. I cant save the dead.
The lights of hope in peoples eyes went out one by one.
Say..saying that there is a God is all a lie. I did that because idiots like you would offer and give your money to and praise !
.
The eyes of countless spectators were dying. However, it cant be helped. Because that was the truth, the reality.
Hundreds of dead eyes looked at Bill Curtis. As the story continued, the public beca confused and sad in silence.
Soon after, they exploded.
WHAT DO YOU AN!
WEVE GIVEN OUR MONEY!
YOU TOLD YOU COULD SAVE MY CHILD!
The anger of those who were back in desperation was fierce.
Bill staggered back.
People reached out their hands toward the podium.
Bill fumbled and looked at Fiona.
I did what you said So stop aaaaaa!
Bill was dragged down from the podium by the hands of the angry people.
Fiona looked down at him expressionlessly. She vaguely understood why she was so angry recently.
Long ago, she shuddered at the cruelty of the world she had created: a place where many people died, got hurt, and lived while struggling and suffering. The feeling of this being unreal faded slowly as she accepted Sigren wholeheartedly. However, it was still there, and the boundary between believing this world was unreal and real has been tensed like a tug-of-war.
Right now, the scene in front of her gave her a final slap. Which side is the winner of this tug of war was very clear. There was no doubt anymore.
There was no happy ending in this place where countless people lived. Right, and that was what reality looked like. The dirty, annoying, repulsive, and distressing things would always happen no matter what. And everyone would stand firmly on their own two feet, hold on, and move forward heavily.
This was a damn reality.
This was the reason a very hateful feeling towards Bill Curtis appeared inside her. He was a person who extorted the innocents for personal desire without any purpose, justification, or honor. He was like a pest. No, he was worse than that. He was soone who made this sad reality more painful.
Fiona was angry with those people. Why the hell did they make it harder for those who lived hard in the world she created? Why? She hope they would pay the sa price.
Sa.. save ! I did nothing wrong!
Keep an eye on the situation, take him out if he is about to out so that he doesnt die easily.
After giving the order, Fiona calmly turned away.
***
After the situation was sorted out, Fiona went to see Sigren. She hugged him tightly.
Fiona?
Sigren wrapped his arms around her and patted her back. He was confused why did his beloved lover who was always relaxed and confident look very unstable and weak today.
Are things not going well?
No.
Fiona pursed her lips.
But I need you.
After saying that, she went deeper into his arms even more. She was like a young beast seeking warmth in a snowstorm.
I think I need consolation.
Sigren led herself to a complete reality. It was unknown whether it has been a great salvation for oneself or it was the other way around. However, at the sa ti as accepting this fact, part of her hearts defense chanism collapsed. Therefore, what she needed was soone who could fill that hollow. And she hope it was him who could fill it up.
She let out a sigh.
Sigren, give a hug.
***
I slept with Sigren. And when I woke up, I looked at him with distraught eyes.
Sigren, are we all right?
Sigren yawned and opened his eyes, what? Nothing happened.
Yeah, nothing. Long story short, Sigren and I slept together. Slept while holding hands of course. Nothing happened in that direction.
It was who hung onto him first yesterday. I whined wanting to be with him. Honestly, when he agreed I thought wed go all the way. But surprisingly, Sigren just hugged and slept. And I couldnt help but wonder.
Sigren, do you have a problem with the important part
He imdiately growled.
Just tried to say more than that.
Ehh, that cant be the case
Then Sigren pulled halfway up.
Sleep more.
Im wide awake.
And Im sleepy. I couldnt sleep properly because of you, so take responsibility and act as a pillow for .
The servant may co soon
Dont worry. They went away last night. They wont co.
.
It was ironic that nothing happened considering the atmosphere seed to scream sothing serious happened.
Sigren, when I asked you to hug , you didnt interpret it as it is, did you? I stroked his hair. If he truly thought that, wouldnt it be too naive?
No way
Sohow, I felt funny that it was who was asking this.
Then, why didnt you do anything?
It was pure curiosity. Because in the past, didnt he say he would eat anything I gave him?
Are you really asking that?
Maybe he was really sleepy. He pulled closer while his eyes were still closed. Then there was a sweet low voice in my ear.
No reason. Its very pathetic to rush at you when youre weak.
This ti he stroked my hair.
And yesterday you really looked like in need an innocent comfort. Although, Im not sure what your problem was.
Well, thats not really a reason.
Youre really. Sigren was a little angry.
I hugged Sigrens neck tightly. Suddenly his body beca stiff even though he has been touching well until now.
Sigren, lets get married!
