Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! Book 4: Chapter 5

I walked on the street with my head down causing to bump soone aside. I didnt know where I was headed or if there was any point in coming out here on my own. I was just furious, very furious. A fit of anger is aningless.

I know.

I understand that.

But I dont have anything other than my rage right now. Rage is a aningless thing to Castell, but its the only thing I possess, even though its absolutely aningless. It wont let have my revenge, but it reminds that ra once lived and gives the courage to stand before any man.

Im not going to let ras death be in vain. When I left, ra watched leave from behind. You want to give up just because I could be in danger? How am I going to look her in the eye when I return if I just give up?

But who else can I ask to help here? I dont have anyone whos loyal to here. The freezing winds blew on my face, freezing my skin as I walked down the road. Nobody will stop for . Im alone here in humanitys lands, just as Castell ntioned. Without the empresss protection, Im nobody here.

Castells loyalty is devoted to the empress, and so is Niers. The only one who can stand by my side is Luna, but she cant help .

I stopped in my tracks. A huge helpless and lonely feeling hit hard, blurring my vision. I rubbed my nose. I dont know if my nose was irritated by the cold winds outside or the hopelessness I felt in my heart. Everybody around wrapped their overcoats around themselves tightly and left like birds returning ho to their respective nests. I was left standing alone in the middle of the road like a spirit that didnt belong in this world. Nobody paid attention to , nor did anybody care about . I just stood there, watching them hurrying along.

I rubbed my eyes to restore my vision and took in a big breath as I quivered and looked at the tall tower in the distance. The large clocks bronze colour glimred below the flare. The majestic aura of the huge church echoed with the palace as if it represented the location of the leader of the spirit of the citizens. The angel with two wings on the tower looked down at the people, is if it were fondly overlooking its citizens.

The elves have never acknowledged humans as the citizens of god. They dont even possess mana yet they pray for the blessings of god. Its a joke to the elves. The elves worship god because god can bestow them with miracles. God can bestow them with mana, but what about humans?

Humans have never received the blessings of god, yet they consider themselves the citizens of god. Humans really will do anything to put themselves at ease.

What a joke. They believe in god, yet dont understand gods will.

Your majesty.

A voice suddenly called out from behind. I turned my head around and saw Niers blank expression.

Nier looked at calmly like she ca to ask to co ho for dinner. She calmly said: Its getting dark. Its dangerous for you to act alone. If you need to go out for sothing, please notify .

I looked blankly at Niers unmoving expression and took in a deep breath. I then decadently sat down on a chair by the side, let out a long sigh and said: I thought you were here to call back.

I am but just a bodyguard. I dont care where you go. I only care about your safety.

Nier stood before with her hand placed on her sword handle. Her white cape shifted slightly as the wind blew. Under the fires lighting up the road, her erald eyes reflected the flas, but they could not cover her lifeless eyes. The flas were destined to only burn outside. How can I get Niers fla to light up for ?

Nier I want to hear your opinion on the matter I. I.

My opinion is to leave it to her majesty to handle. Nier looked at and continued in a composed tone, I dont know whats happening with the church, nor do I understand the power balance. However, I believe you to be the most powerless existence in the palace. Without her majestys support, it is impossible for you to do anything.

I smiled helplessly and then rested my chin in my hands, keeping silent for a long ti.

ra was right. Both power and determination are necessary. When I killed her, I had both determination and a sword, so I could hold her corpse. But I only have aningless rage right now. I wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, but I couldnt even enter the church.

What if I still want to investigate it?

Then I shall investigate it with you.

Nier looked as calm as usual.

I placed my hands supporting my face down, looked at Nier and said: You might die.

I already told you, I dont care where you want to go, protecting you is my duty. If you are in danger, I will definitely protect you. If you die, I will have failed in my duty, and I shall commit suicide to apologise. Nier looked at casually and continued, That is but just a suggestion. If you insist on continuing forward, I shall follow you. Or rather, I admire your courage. While courage cannot solve problems, not everybody can be courageous. One who is courageous would be more admirable even if he were to perish.

I looked at Nier. Her expression didnt change. However, I could feel that Niers attitude towards had eased up a lot. Perhaps Valkyries pursue courage. Nier wont say anything to , but shes always by my side to protect . Perhaps I can put my faith in her for this month.

Nier, what do you think I should do?

Nier looked at and replied: Do what you think is right. I am not responsible for strategizing for you. I am only responsible for ensuring your safety while you do what you believe is right.

I looked at Niers gaze, smiled helplessly and said: Youre different to Castell

Well, I couldnt ask for anything more than to see your corpse at the end of the street.

I chuckled and stood up. I looked at Nier, pat her on her shoulder and said: Thank you, Nier I get it now. I will do what I think is right. I hope youll be able to protect during this ti. I think Ill need to rely on your more in the future.

Nier knocked my hand away without any reluctance and said: Yeah? I just hope that you wont show kindness to soone who tries to kill you, and make sheath my sword after Ive drawn it.

I wont.

I turned my head around, looked at the angel overwatching us on top of the church, and clenched my teeth. Perhaps the angel statue on this side represented their so-called redemption and holiness. Im not convinced that they have no involvent in ras death. Castell didnt tell anything, but he did tell the most important thing. And that is if the church is involved, it will be a complicated matter. Since its complicated, Ill have to go and clear up the clue I have.

I dont care if this is the last thing I do. Ill bring the truth to light for ra. Im not backing down.

I will not back down this ti. Im determined this ti.

With my back facing Nier, I sternly said: I never will again.

Understood.

Nier replied from behind like usual. I thought I couldnt do anything at first, but Nier is now standing behind . Im not alone. When the going gets tough; when Im most powerless and hopeless, standing behind will be Niers lone, but proud silhouette.

My loneliness is despair, but Niers loneliness is her greatest pride.
