The Hero Party With Whom I Am About To Part Ways Is Obsessed With Me - The Hero Party With Whom I Am About To Part Ways Is Obsessed With Me chapter 213

213 – Epilogue-6

“No way! You should apologize to that maid right now!”

“haha…”

Celia was fiercely shooting at the other elders.

“I’ve seen it all! This cup was broken by the grandfather pushing it, not the maid!”

After listening roughly, I could see how things were going.

The remaining old gods did not necessarily mean that there were only clean and conscientious people.

No, maybe. They lived by holding on to the remains of the dead emperor, so to some extent, they might be people who live as their conscience and loyalty lead them.

However, that did not mean that they could show goodness in all fields and in all situations.

It was obvious. The old minister accidentally broke the cup, and Celia must have caught it while trying to pass it on as a maid’s mistake.

“Are you far, Celia?”

“Eh, Miss Enelel? This is, that’s… that’s why.”

Celia’s silver hair swayed brilliantly.

“let’s go.”

“All right!”

Still, the finish has to be built. I approached the old minister and spoke briefly.

“Be careful. You’re old enough.”

“Yes, yes! I see.”

He lowered his head and hurriedly left his seat.

After memorizing the maid’s name, I left with Celia.

“I’m sorry. I-I didn’t mean to go this far…”

“I do not care.”

Celia’s powers have returned, but she has become a person who is not afraid of collision.

Rather than bumping into people, I was afraid to compromise with others.

“Sorry…”

Despite the smallest absurdity and irrationality, she risked her life to resist.

“Well, you don’t have to be sorry.”

Celia has changed. I wasn’t sure, but I could guess why.

It must have been such a terrible and painful memory for her that I didn’t say anything while I was having a hard time because I was afraid of colliding with another party.

Not all change is progress. Perhaps, Celia, who embraced everything at that time, may never come back.

“it’s okay.”

I stroked her hair.

“Really? If you fall out with him, there might be problems…”

“That much doesn’t matter.”

However, that did not mean that she became a completely different person. It wasn’t that he was arguing over nonsensical things or venting his anger recklessly.

It wasn’t something she could do. It’s just that you’re afraid.

For someone else to feel what I felt, for her to let it go again and face the wrath of the abandoned person.

“Let’s go. The church people will be waiting for you.”

“Really?”

“Yes. You should keep your face exposed.”

It was a pretty plausible cathedral from the outside, but the meaning was much bigger than I thought.

It was the cathedral of the Goddess Order, and considering the size of the empire, it was a rather shabby and important position.

It was said that the other nuns who followed Celia and talked nonsense were more than a few bishops in terms of divine power alone.

“Because I’m bringing you here. I’ll have to talk to the church as well.”

Celia’s current position was very vague.

It might be a bit better than Nerwen, who had no position at all, but right now, Celia was in a halfway position, not belonging to either the church or my forces.

In any case, she was the one I felt comfortable with. It would be an exaggeration to say that it was the energizer of life, but it was true that receiving her help helped me to think less of unnecessary thoughts.

So, you have to bring it officially. It must be announced that she has lost her divine power and ceased to be a saint, and her affiliation must be transferred to the imperial palace.

“Let’s go.”

/////

It was the first cathedral I had ever visited. I’ve seen it from the outside a few times, but it was the first time I went inside.

“Welcome. How should I call you… Until now, may I call you the hero?”

“Because there was no coronation ceremony. So be it.”

It was a bishop with a stern face who seemed to be about the age of his father or even older.

If it weren’t for the advice of the elders not to call someone up in public, we would have been able to have a more serious conversation.

“Celia seems fine too. I was surprised when I first heard that she lost her divine power, but… I’m glad she did.”

It was the first time I had met him, but I could tell at a glance how much he cared for Celia.

“I’m sorry it turned out this way.”

“No. There must have been some circumstances. Since her heart did not deviate from the will of the goddess, even if the goddess came through Celia’s body, she would have done as she did.”

“I’d be glad if you would.”

At worst, he thought he might have to hide her from the Church.

Apostasy is not an easy thing to look at. Even more so if it was the apostasy of the saintess. But at least the bishop didn’t seem to want to dig into it.

I don’t know what the pope or other priests think, but right now it was a good thing.

“Then, are you officially taking Celia?”

“Maid. Well, I’m sorry I can’t give you a proper title, but…”

“That should be enough.”

“I’m sorry for taking Celia away. It’s… how it turned out.”

“This, too, must be the will of the Goddess. Even if she… does not erase all injustice and suffering from the world, in the end the good will prevail.”

Wrong. There was no winner in my fight. I couldn’t win a fight with anyone.

Looking back, it may have been natural. Because I couldn’t have been a very good person.

However, you will be able to see it. It is said that Elysia responded to my pain and anger even when she was under the subconscious of the goddess.

If that’s the case, even while I’m asleep… she might be looking at me.

You might be smiling a little.

Fortunately, the conversation with the bishop was over in an instant. I sat down with Celia and entered her room.

“Please sit here and wait! Oh, no… If you have something else to do, why don’t you come see it now?”

She prepared a large bojagi and put her clothes and books in it one by one.

“It’s okay. I don’t think it will take that long. If anything, me too…”

“Oh, no! You’re the one who’s about to become His Majesty the Yellow Body? I’ll do it.”

Celia was carefully packing her moving items, refusing my help.

It didn’t include too many things. She couldn’t bring furniture, and she didn’t enjoy luxury or had many things of her own.

The clothes were all Celia’s personal underwear or a few casual clothes. Now she didn’t have to wear priestly clothes.

“This…”

“Oh, is that the diary?”

Celia’s face darkened.

“Bo, did you see it?”

“Sorry. When I was looking for you, I was looking for something that might be helpful.”

Celia bowed her head and apologized to me in a sinking voice.

“I’m sorry, Enerel.”

“why?”

“I… I didn’t realize how cowardly my actions were… and cruel to Enerel, until the Goddess enlightened me with this book.”

Certainly, the goddess’ screams were devastating. If the connection with God hadn’t been cut off as she got closer to the castle of demons, Celia would have heard countless nags.

“You realized it eventually. That’s enough.”

“Thank you for saying that.”

“Even without the help of the goddess, if you saw me screaming in front of your eyes… you would have felt the same pain.”

Celia is Celia. The reason she was afraid to side with me on the journey of the warrior party was because of her lack of courage rather than her sincere hatred for me.

“Maybe?”

“I’m not ignoring your belief in the goddess… but it was your choice. The thought of sacrificing you to return to me, following me, and now you’re here.”

Celia slowly stroked the diary.

“is that so…”

Graduation to God It wouldn’t have been easy for her either.

However, it has already been done once.

Celia tried to save me with her own will, not with God’s help, and she felt guilty for doing it with her own will. He tried to atone for it himself, and gave it up through my persuasion.

“Even if you’re not a saint, but a maid Celia, you can become a good enough person.”

Celia tucked the diary into the wrapping cloth and smiled broadly at me.

“Then…I’m no longer an ordinary person, can I stay by Enerel’s side?”

“Of course. He’s someone you can trust.”

He was someone you could trust, in a good or bad way.

I know how cowardly she can be. I know how much she can hurt me.

However, the time spent with her was not small. Ironically, Celia was the most comfortable person for me.

A person who seems like it would be okay to treat me harshly, who would not hate me no matter what I did, and who would unconditionally support my work.

Saying this made me feel like trash, but Celia was what I needed.

“Let’s go back.”

Celia didn’t want to leave the load on me, but she couldn’t resist me lifting her whole body with the load.

“Eh, Enerel?”

“Just. I was curious how heavy it was.”

“This, this!”

Celia’s blushing face was both funny and cute. I moved while holding her until I left the cathedral.
