Chapter 257
CHAPTER 257 – WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO, WHAT SHE DOESN’T WANT TO DO
「Uu……nn . ……huh, where am I?」
lissa opened her eyes . She looked around sleepily not knowing the situation .
It’s already in the evening and the room is filled with light created by magic and moonlight .
I chased away those people from the Solon Church, so only and lissa are in the room .
「K-Kakeru? Ah……!」
She recognized my face and then rembered what happened .
lissa sat up and asked silently while slightly looking down .
「Kakeru……you stayed here the whole ti?」
「Yeah」
「For days?」
She asked slightly happily .
「Nope, just for a while . It has only been less than half a day since then」
「Eh? But, I received sickness from that many people……since it isn’t half a day yet……」
「I lent you my recovery ability」
「Ah……!」
I lent her many tis up until now, so lissa imdiately understood from her experience .
I asked lissa before to sneak within my troops after lending her my stamina and recovery to protect my won and the slave soldiers .
With that experience, she imdiately understood what I did .
「I see……thank you, Kakeru」
「It’s nothing much . Rather than that, are you always doing it like that?」
「Un, I’ve been doing it since recently」
「Recently?」
I furrowed my brows a bit and asked back .
「It’s Solon-sama’s blessings . Recently, I’m now able to shoulder other people’s injuries even it’s already “for a long ti”」
「I’ve been thinking of asking that . Before, you can only do it in the present mont right?」
「Un . I realized I was able to shoulder other people’s pain even after so ti has passed, so I thought that it might be that case, so I tried」
「I see . Was that sothing you ca up with first?」
「……? That’s right, why do you ask?」
lissa tilted her head and asked back .
She is doing it in her own will . That was enough .
「Nope, just wanted to ask」
「I see . ……I really failed this ti」
lissa’s face blushed with red and buried her face between her knees .
「Why so?」
「I didn’t think that Kakeru would stay here the whole ti . “That”, I didn’t want to let Kakeru see it」
「By “that”, you’re talking about that appearance after you shouldered other people’s injuries and ailnts?」
lissa buried her face even more and nodded .
「I didn’t see it myself, but I’ve heard from others . I can imagine . “That” appearance, it’s so ugly, right? I didn’t want to Kakeru see……」
「Ugly? Not at all」
「Eh?」
「It was beautiful」
「Thank you, Kakeru . But it’s fine even if you don’t comfort . That appearance, even I……think it’s hideous」
「I’ll tell you one thing . About my standards of beauty」
「Eh? Un……what is it?」
「It’s when my woman, is doing the thing that she wants to do」
「Ah……!」
「That was what you wanted to do right?」
「……un, that’s, true」
「If so, then it’s beautiful without a doubt」
「……thank you」
lissa’s face turned even more red, burying her face .
『Kukuku, in front of you, even a Saintess is a re maiden』
Eleanor said in a playful tone .
I heard from lissa herself that she did that act with her own will .
Since that’s the case, there’s no need for to stop her . I should let her do what she wants .
Suddenly, the door was knocked .
lissa flinched and looked towards the direction of the door .
「lissa-sama? Did you wake up?」
「W-What?」
「Ohh, you have awakened . Arsenius-sama has co . We hope that lissa-sama would et with him quickly」
「I got it . I’ll go now」
lissa quickly regained her composure and got off the bed .
She was a shy maiden a mont ago, but her face instantly turned to that of a dignified saintess .
「An acquaintance?」
「It’s the bishop」
「A colleague then」
Since that’s the case, I shouldn’t bother them .
I opened my Different Dinsion Warehouse and took out my Warp Feather . lissa woke up too, so I should leave for today .
I thought like that and tried to warp, but .
「K-Kakeru」
「n? What’s the matter?」
「We’ll finish our talk quickly so, can you wait for ?」
Her expression looked as if she was pleading yet it was filled with expectations .
Knowing how red her face a mont ago, I could tell what she wants just from looking at her face .
「I got it . I’ll wait for you」
「Thank you! I’ll call you after we finished talking okay?」
「There’s no need for that」
I released my aura and enveloped myself .
The camouflage aura that uses Eleanor’s powers . It’s a technique that hides from other people .
「K-Kakeru? Where did you go?」
「I’m just right here . I’ll stay by your side so I’ll know when you’ll finish talking」
「ーーthank you!」
lissa showed a happy face again .
After that, her face turned serious, making her look like the “Saintess” .
She opened the door leading to the corridor . A man was there .
That man who knocked led lissa .
Camouflaged, I followed lissa who followed the man .
In the drawing room, lissa faced a man who was wearing clerical clothes that were grander than what lissa wears .
The man looked like he’s in his forties, has decent height, and looked very plump .
Judging from how he looks……he’s probably 170cm but over 120kg .
This kind of man is……probably .
『A man that fattened himself through authority . That is the most likely case』
It looks like Eleanor thought so as well .
「It’s been a while, Arsenius . Why did you co here?」
「Congratulations, lissa-sama」
「What are you saying suddenly?」
「The miracle that lissa-sama showed, the effect of the blessings was superb . The people of Nuktar are racing against each other to be part of our Solon Church’s religion」
「That is good news」
「This is all thanks to the miracle lissa-sama created . You should hear it if you listen carefully, the voices of the people of Nuktar praising lissa-sama」
Arsenius flattered lissa .
「Did you co just to say that?」
「lissa-sama is quick to the point as usual……about the Pope, you must know about it」
Arsenius’s expression changed drastically .
He looked like a frivolous person who was flattering lissa before, but his face quickly turned to that of a conspirator .
lissa also changed her expression, she furrowed her brows .
「Is the condition not really good?」
「That is not a proper way to describe it, lissa-sama . The Pope is soon to ascend to our God’s place」
「……right」
lissa nodded with a bitter face .
「It is a very delightful event . However, there is a problem . That’s right, the problem about who is going to be the next Pope」
「What do you an?」
「I will go straight to the point . Please beco the next pope」
He〜 .
『Hou』
My reaction was completely the sa with Eleanor .
We thought that things started to get interesting .
However .
「I refuse」
lissa refused instantly .
「Can I ask why?」
「Because God has not said so」
「I see」
Arsenius nodded and quickly made a aningful face .
「What then if God commands so?」
「……what do you an?」
lissa furrowed her brows .
「It is nothing much」
Although Arsenius said that, he’s definitely lying .
There’s no way that it’s nothing much .
Since he asked in that way, if lissa agreed to him and nodded, then the “words of God” will be like so .
It’s probably politics .
『That is the most likely case』
Eleanor agreed .
lissa staredーーno, glared at Arsenius for a while .
The first one to withdraw was Arsenius .
「This seems to be too early after all」
After realizing lissa doesn’t look like she’ll agree, Arsenius withdrew quickly .
Then after saying out so honeyed words, he left the room .
「Fuu〜……」
lissa let out a sight .
『It looks like she really doesn’t want to do it』
Seems like it .
The pope, in other words, the highest position in the Solon Church .
It looks like lissa doesn’t plan to be one .
It’s the opposite to that ti with Fiona and Marie .
If lissa doesn’t want to do it……then……
I will stop it at all cost .
