Chapter 56 – Coming of Age Ceremony
“Ha~. Haha. It’s crazy, really. “It’s out of this world.”
Kate fell into a groggy state after being hit hard and rejected twice in a row.
However, that was only a moment. After arriving at the studio, she immediately regained her energy when Jun took off her outerwear to measure her body size.
No, she couldn’t get it back. She was so excited that she had a nosebleed.
Hehe. Jun, stay still. “I will make sure this sister doesn’t get sick.”
Kate slowly approaches, holding the tape measure like a rope to tie someone.
With each step she took, the blood from her nose dripped down her jaw line and onto the floor.
The scent of a criminal was evident in his tone of voice, actions, and appearance.
I couldn’t help but be alert.
“Go away! Just touch our Junie with even a fingertip! “I won’t stay still!”
As if it wasn’t just Jun, Fortuna hurriedly blocked Kate’s path.
Looking at her fairy wings stiffly erect, she must have looked quite dangerous.
“Why~. “They are so wary of me because I did something.”
“… There are many things to point out, but I will say just one thing first. “Please do something about the nosebleed.”
“Nosebleed? Ah.”
Only then did Kate realize that her nose was bleeding, and she smiled sheepishly and healed her nose.
Her face turned slightly red.
It won’t be just looking at the blood. Could it be that she imagined what it would have been like for her?
“Big. Okay, no more joking.”
“I didn’t play around.”
“Eight! It’s loud, come here! “I have to cut the fabric to her size and then go dye it.”
“Oh, the reason I can’t see any other nuns is because they are dyeing other children’s fabrics.”
Jun looked around the empty studio and spread his arms to his sides.
Then Kate came over to her and started placing a tape measure all over his body.
“He’s the tallest among the boys. The size of other places is also large, but considering the height, it is literally a golden ratio. Not only the face but also the body is great. “Isn’t it too much of a scam?”
“Don’t stutter subtly while complimenting!”
“Tch! Fortuna, isn’t that too petty? It’s not like it will wear out just because I touch it a little.”
Fortuna, in a question-and-answer dance, swats away Kate’s hand that secretly touches Jun’s abs and her forearm.
Kate protested, puffing out her cheeks like a puffer fish, but she didn’t listen.
“Ha~. I’m so sad that I can’t live. Anyway, my body is very different from what I thought. There must be a lot of work to be done.”
Kate frowned as if she was bothered and lifted the cloth on the nearby table.
Then, she drew chalk here and there, and even for Jun, who knew nothing about clothing making, it seemed like there was quite a lot of room for improvement, just as she said.
“Did you know what kind of body I have?”
“I heard from the kids, they train really hard. So I thought it would be very lumpy and big.”
“Really? It won’t look like that.”
Hehe. I don’t know. “I wonder if there’s a beast hiding inside the tightly wrapped robe that doesn’t match her beautiful appearance.”
Kate lets out a sinister laugh again.
At times like this, I don’t necessarily look like a nun, but like a guy who likes to wear lipstick.
“You must be sad that there are no animals.”
“Are you okay. Instead, she was able to touch her soft, baby-like skin.”
Kate drooled as she remembered the feel of June’s body, massaging the empty air with her hands.
It looked rather disgusting.
“Seup. But I’m really jealous. How on earth do you maintain skin like that? If Donald and Leon get tired of it, the training probably isn’t that harsh. Please teach me the secret!”
“I don’t know, how this is possible. But what if you drink the elixir? Or thanks to God’s blessings?”
I couldn’t honestly say that it was because I remodeled it with Realize.
It was no different from confessing that she was a wisher.
“I don’t know for sure.”
Fortunately, Kate didn’t seem to be suspicious of that excuse.
Well, who would expect that a wish series skill emerged from an ordinary thinking superpower?
“Ha~. Blessings depend on God’s will, so should we leave it at that and start drinking the elixir today? Ugh! “I feel like throwing up just thinking about it.”
“Still, I guess I’ll give it a try.”
In response to Fortuna’s question, Kate puffed out her cheeks again and nodded her head.
“Joy! Like others, my body doesn’t last forever. Take a look at my body. I even get distracted by small and insignificant topics. If this continues, I might not be able to get married even after my vow of chastity is over. Like other nuns. Sobbing. “I don’t want to live that lonely life.”
Kate fell down on her table and began to cry bitterly.
She tried to tell him not to worry and that she would definitely be able to get married, but
A quick glance
Just as she was about to open her mouth, I saw the expectant look that made me stop.
“Por, did the vow of chastity have a period?”
“For a moment! Now is the time to ask that question!”
“The vow of chastity that cliff said is Geass. Instead of maintaining chastity for a certain period of time, you can quickly grow your holy power core during that time.”
“Don’t answer naturally!”
Kate’s cry full of sorrow.
Despite hearing that, Jun and Fortuna continued their conversation.
“Ugh, ugh!”
In the end, Kate, unable to contain her sadness, really burst into tears.
Since they didn’t expect her to do something like that, Jun and Fortuna hurriedly comforted her even though she was embarrassed.
Isn’t this a change in roles?
“Sniff. Sniff!”
“Have you calmed down now?”
“It’s fun.”
“Cliff. Do you want to do that in front of your child?”
Kate ignored Fortuna’s warning and picked up the scissors next to her fabric.
Then, her mood, which had been cozy and dreamy like a squirrel, instantly changed into a cold and sharp mood.
I don’t know about the other kids, but it wasn’t an atmosphere Jun had experienced for the first time.
She always wore this aura when she mercilessly split the heads of assassins with her mace.
What should I hide?
She, who appears to be a weak nun, was actually a paladin dispatched by the church at Leonard’s request four years ago.
“Blue Flash.”
Hearing Kate’s cold voice, June adjusted her clothes and sat down across from her.
I wasn’t embarrassed by the sudden respectful treatment or this situation.
This is because he is the one who created this situation.
“Were you very surprised when you heard the identity?”
“I had a guess, but… Yeah, I was very surprised. What’s worse, didn’t Father Leonard have that dream as soon as he heard that fact? “I thought.”
Kate’s cold, sunken eyes were filled with surprise and astonishment.
It was exactly the reaction he wanted, so Jun nodded with satisfaction.
“You met with the first prince’s subordinates?”
“I met him once because he was waiting for me. “He told me to become the first prince’s subordinate.”
“Can we say that the reason you reveal your identity and tell us about it at the same time is because you want the church to protect you from the various problems that may arise if you reject the offer?”
“Yes, it is as you said.”
Isn’t there a saying like that?
Life is a series of choices, and we must take responsibility for our choices.
Even if you want to avoid responsibility, the world won’t let you.
Jun, who was almost 50 years old if you add up his previous and current life ages, knew very well that that was a truth.
So after he made the choice to reject the first prince’s offer, he kept thinking about how to take responsibility for it and how to prepare for it.
He came up with several numbers, but nothing was fully concrete yet.
However, the first step of all the moves that came to mind was to leave the Britia Empire.
He had first told the 1st Prince’s subordinates that he had no intention of antagonizing the 1st Prince, but there was little chance that the 1st Prince would believe his words and not be hostile to him.
If the assassination of Leon before the coming-of-age ceremony fails, he is the biggest reason, and even if he succeeds, there is a high possibility that he will retaliate or bother him to follow him because he interfered.
No matter how well Jun escapes and fights, in the end, he is still human and needs proper rest, sleep, and food to survive.
In the empire, all three were bound to be threatened.
If the threat continues, you will eventually lose your life or be captured by the first prince.
It was no exception even if he went to Remumuni and hid.
Even though Remumuni is a labyrinth city that is semi-independent from the empire, it cannot be completely unaffected.
So exile to another empire was a necessity, not an option.
No, he thought so. Until I saw the globalization of sprouts.
‘If I can stay in subspace, I can rest and sleep without worrying about anything. Fortuna said that plants grow quickly near the sacred water, so we will be able to be self-sufficient in food to some extent.’
As long as it was possible to solve the problems of rest, sleep, and food, it was better to ask the church for personal protection rather than go into exile.
To be honest, other empires were not places worth living in.
In one empire, different races were the mainstay of the country, so humans were not treated well, and in the other empire, it was a totalitarian military state, so the government’s control and pressure were very severe.
In that respect, the Britia Empire was a better country for humans to live in than any other country in the world.
Well, as long as it is not related to nobility.
“Blue Flash, there’s one thing you need to know. You haven’t committed any major crimes, but you have stepped very deeply into the line of succession. It is difficult to protect you with general personal protection.”
As expected.
At the expected answer, Jun sighed and grabbed her forehead.
I felt like punching Leon or Leonard if they were nearby.
‘I can’t. I don’t want to live in debt.’
It would be better to have some debt than to be discriminated against and controlled.
Thinking like that, Jun said.
“I will request special protection. Oh, please let Leon and Leonard lose as well.”
I didn’t get permission from the people involved, but if I were here, I would definitely have given permission with a smile.
‘Really?’
‘Well, of course.’
Since ancient times, the more you share a debt, the better it is.
Well, no.
