Chapter 202 – Sincerely (7)
25. Sincerely (7)
Kiki-ik, click-
The wooden door was completely closed. The four women, who moved from the living room to the main room, settled down in comfortable seats.
“She has already opened her heart to Sister Cestia to the extent that she even confessed, but since she doesn’t have him, I hope she will tell a more in-depth and sincere story besides her confession.”
“Is it so. It’s like this, let’s be honest.”
“That is good. Speak openly.”
Cestia looked at Cordia’s sleeping face in her arms.
Baby.
Precious baby
I am happy because of you, I am happy because of you, and I am sick because of you. This mother will never give up on you, your happiness, or your right to enjoy.
Cestia responded by hugging Cordia.
“If what I just said wasn’t enough, feel free to ask more questions.”
Her tone was calm. However, Kaya, Shay, and Illumina sensed a strong determination to never back down.
Doesn’t it feel like he’s become a torturer interrogating criminals? Even though they didn’t do anything wrong.
“Sister Cestia.”
“It’s okay if you don’t call me sister. I am… I was even prepared to be expelled from the monastery. Of course, I haven’t betrayed her faith in Ra Ella.”
“… Great.”
It wouldn’t be a lie to say that she abandoned everything and came here with Hendrick.
“From now on, I will not doubt or disparage Lady Sestia’s sincerity. Sestia-sama wasn’t completely unique, and there were times when her face would blush, but that was a long time ago and it was resolved with Eugene. But, but. Mr. Cestia. How about if you change her position and think about it?”
“Change your position…”
Reverse. Those were the words I heard from Eugene. As Sestia shuts her mouth, Shay takes her baton.
“Shall I say something bad on purpose? Cestia-sama is a rolled stone. Strictly speaking, I, Illumina, and her sister are also stones that came from rolling, but they went through a process and were recognized. And Sestia-sama will be recognized as well. It’s just that the number of stones embedded in it increases from three to four, and if it’s our captain. As for Hendrick. If it’s Eugene. Even if it looks like it’s at a loss while watching from the outside, I’ll be able to handle the increase of one more person. Even if we put aside getting along well with each other.”
But.
Not at the level where the rolled stone becomes one of the embedded stones.
What if you kicked the stone away and became the only stone you were stuck in?
“Even if it were possible for Eugene to love us all imperceptibly and in perfect fairness. As of now, you are the only one who can give me a ‘second generation’, so that premise will be completely destroyed. The new emotion that the second generation can give, the sympathy… Because only you can give Even if you try not to, the weight will lean towards you.”
In short, Cestia, you are a balance breaker.
Illumina, who took over her baton, declared.
“If we had a way, we could end up with a bit of envy and jealousy that the last stone rolled first saw the second generation. But… There’s no way No matter how harmonious and harmonious a family may be, unless it has been resolved from the beginning to live without a second generation plan. Wouldn’t it be much happier to have a harmonious family with two children?”
“Are you anxious?”
“That’s right. We may look funny from your point of view, but I’m not nervous. It’s also unfair.”
“It is not so. From my point of view, how could I…”
“It is outside the realm of faith. No matter how much we trust Eugene, and no matter how much Eugene trusts us… Perhaps it would have been if it had not been for Cestia-sama’s baby, Eugene has already received the baby’s loveliness and cuteness. As time goes by, no matter how much Eugene knows and understands our situation, will he have no regrets or disappointments at all as he is also a human being?”
Cestia couldn’t say it was not hasty. Even if Eugene had a superhuman sense of balance, that was the case. When she convinced her that Eugene would not be, or lamented their infertility, she was grossly deceptive.
“No, I do not want. I hate it so much. That I am a defective product. Her love of Eugene made me forget that. The moment I saw that baby… There is something that rises at once and pierces my heart.”
“If it were Eugene, he would be terrified to try to resolve the current situation somehow.”
If it was Hendrick, the captain of the HAT warriors, if it was Hendrick, the savior of Salem, if it was Hendrick who was favored by mercy and justice. If it was Hendrick, the dungeon destroyer from another world.
If he breaks through any hopeless situation without abandoning anyone, he might be able to safely break through the current problem… It was also true that I had hoped so carelessly.
But.
It would be a bit disappointing for Eugene to hear it.
Isn’t dungeon something he experienced in the form of a game in another world?
Monogamy is universal common sense, and a loner who has lived for over 20 years in a legalized society might be able to cope with unexpected situations just by living well with three beautiful women, but…
Well. How about
I think I’m going crazy because I’m worried that love will focus on one side or that love will cool down.
I think I’m going crazy wanting to have a baby.
No matter how much Eugene is a great man, three and four people are different corporations.
The newly rolled stone that seems to overflow because it is not full of ‘motherly love’ looks so powerful.
Someday.
It’s a really low probability though.
If one day I get pregnant and give birth to Eugene’s child… The space to be with the child and the space that was set aside in consideration of when the child grew up.
It’s not your own child who doesn’t know when it will happen, and who may never have it at all.
I thought it would belong to a new woman’s child who had already been born.
“How can I… Would it be good… ?”
I would appreciate it if you would pretend that nothing happened today and disappear. Or at least a baby…
Kaya, who had managed to suppress her inner feelings that reached the tip of her chin, responded to Sestia’s murmur.
“Eugene is quite greedy… For now, I plan to wait and see what kind of answer he will give.”
“Ah…”
“Before that, I think it’s first to put the baby problem aside and tell you about the rules of our house.”
“Ah yes. I will engrave it.”
“The first rule, Eugene is not owned by just one person. Second rule…”
**
The longest dungeon of terror, a long-standing bane, has been destroyed, but if someone asks if the world has improved immediately because of that, I assure you, she will snort not to be funny.
Because.
I don’t know if the fear that can be said to be one of the sources of all evil was searched for or not, but if the world took a step forward because of that incident, wouldn’t I, the goddess of light and justice, be so busy?
“If you have a god of language and logic, you can talk about half a day of sermons.”
“What do you know about the words of a guy looking at a book in the corner of the room? By the way, are you good at selling? I am suffering like this.”
“Whoops. You said it before. It’s easier to put it down, Titi.”
“That’s easy to say, uh huh. You are really a different kind, you are a different kind.”
“It’s the same with Titi.”
After HAT’s defeat of the dungeon, the status of Raella, the goddess of mercy and tolerance, and Justitia, the goddess of light and justice, have risen significantly. However, apart from the rise in her status, she did not immediately increase her strength or status because she consumed so much divine power to descend on Kaya and Shay respectively. In particular, since Raella did not descend simply, but descended in the form of a part of her body being separated, she was in a state of permanent damage.
Unlike Justitia, who wandered around her backroom and somehow tried to squeeze her divine power and distribute it to her followers, Raella, who had just woken up from a deep sleep for her recovery, just stayed still.
When they gather, as they gather, when they want, as they want.
Countless believers from all over the world praying for mercy and tolerance, do they know that their goddess is lying around all day and observing only one spot?
“TT.”
“Why.”
“How long have we been?”
“What?”
“Since you ascended.”
“Well… ? No matter how little you catch it, it wouldn’t have exceeded a thousand years. Why is that all of a sudden?”
“If you did that much, wouldn’t it be considered that you did it for a long time?”
“It’s been a long time… Wait, Laella. What are you talking about now?”
“Since the world went well even when I was asleep, maybe I don’t need a hundred years or so?”
“La Ella!”
“I’m a little tired.”
La Ella smiled bitterly at her. She pointed with her index finger at the spectacle in her orb.
“My daughters are in trouble with each other. And one of them is earnestly praying for me right now. Please do something I mean, I don’t want to lose the happiness I barely got.”
“It is true that that child has made a special contribution, and it is up to you who you favor, but to go this far…”
“We, too, were once warriors who slayed evil and were human. I was an elf, and Titi you were a human.”
“La Ella.”
“Unknown to the vast majority of mortals, my child saved the world. The child who has achieved great feats that even we who are worshiped as gods have not been able to achieve for a long time. Showing kindness and tolerance to all people? Titi, as you said, I’ve been doing it for over a thousand years. Then… Wouldn’t it be okay to focus on one thing at least once in a thousand years, at will, all the kindness and generosity I can bestow? Aren’t we even qualified for that?”
“… So what do you think?”
Realizing that Raella, who had become like that, could not be undone, Justitia asked cautiously.
“I want to present my child with the child I want so much.”
“Oh my god.”
Justitia felt dizzy.
