"It's a really great painting, it looks like you've found the true color."

While Aaron was concentrating on painting the image of the archangel of Pudu, Father Hypnos, a newcomer to the church, walked up to him again and greeted him like an old acquaintance, "You look good today, Your Highness Aaron. ”

"Ah, thanks for the compliment." Aaron smiled embarrassedly, he was indeed in a good mood, and the sudden luck that came down made him feel that all the people around him had become happy, and he couldn't help but want to share this mood with everyone around him, "Priest, do you remember mentioning the goddess to you yesterday." ”

"Of course I do." Father Hypnos stood next to Aaron, looked at him with a smile on his face, and asked, "What happened next?" ”

"It's like a dream." Aaron's eyes were full of emotion, "Yesterday morning, Mama said that she had something to do so she left, I thought I would never see her again, but I didn't expect that I met her again last night, and because of what she had to do, I would stay at the orphanage for a while...... I knew I shouldn't expect anything, but I was very happy. ”

"Oh?" Hypnos couldn't help but drag out his last note, and a smile of warmth appeared on his lips, "Have you ever thought that this is fate, fate has made her stay by your side." ”

"How is that possible?" Aaron hurriedly waved his hand, looking a little flustered by the priest's words, "I don't dare to think so, and JOJO she will leave soon...... But I'm very lucky and satisfied to be able to spend all this time together. ”

“…… It really pains me to see you the way you look, Your Highness. The priest's words became softer, but his appearance was so cold that one could not feel his kindness at all. The priest leaned close to Aaron, gently pressed Aaron's shoulder with his hand, and whispered in his ear, "Whatever you want, everything in this world belongs to you, my Highness." ”

“…… Alas?! ”

Aaron was so frightened by the priest's sudden attitude that the paintbrush in his hand shook off the ground, and he quickly broke free from the priest, looked at the priest in a little surprise and said, "What are you talking about?" I don't understand ...... at all."

"Didn't Pandora sue you? The puppy is dead, why did it wake up again? ”

"I, I don't know...... I don't remember ......"

"yes, think again."

FATHER HYPNOS SMILED AND FIXED HIS GAZE ON THE SILVER-WHITE PENTAGRAM NECKLACE ENGRAVED WITH YOURSEVER ON AARON'S NECK, AND SAID, "OR, PAINT SOMETHING ELSE WITH YOUR BRUSH, AND YOU'LL FIND THE ANSWER." ”

"Paint a picture of the person you love, and she will stay and be yours forever."

“……”

The priest's words made Aaron a little creepy, his mind was in chaos, Aaron always felt as if he had forgotten something important, but he couldn't remember, he was stunned and didn't know what to say, but fortunately, at this time, a voice interrupted the two.

"Aaron—"

At the sound of the voice, Aaron suddenly came to his senses, and fled from the priest as if he had been saved. He hurriedly turned to look at the door of the church, and when he saw Joanna with a basket in her hand, he immediately ran towards her.

“…… JOJO！ What are you doing here? ”

"The orphanage children said you forgot to bring a lunch, let me help bring it to you."

Jona took the lunch box out of the basket and began to look around the church on guard. Although she had thoroughly surveyed the surroundings before entering, she still couldn't find Father Pucci.

"Ah...... I'm really tired of you, thank you JOJO. ”

Aaron gratefully accepted Jona's lunch, and when Joanna entered, Father Hypnos couldn't help but squint his eyes and look at her quietly.

"It's nothing, I happened to stop by here to have a look."

Jona's attention didn't stay on any of them, Aaron wasn't very good at words, but seeing Jona, who seemed to be looking for something in the church, he couldn't help but say after hesitating, "Do you want to see my painting?" ”

"Okay." With no trace of Enrique Pucci to be found, Jona walked over to the mural he was painting in Aaron's anticipation.

Basically, it is a more typical style of famous paintings, it is surprising that this technique and brushwork are very skillful, not at all like the work of a teenager, Joanna looked at this painting carefully from the perspective of art appreciation, and then nodded and praised, "It's great, especially the use of color is also perfect, is this Aaron you done alone?" ”

"Well, yes. I'm glad to get such a compliment......" Aaron laughed embarrassedly, and he didn't bother when he saw that Jona was still watching him carefully, until Jona asked again, "Is this painting a book of apocalypse?" ”

"It's not ...... It's just a savior angel painted according to the church's requirements, but in my own words, I want to create a work like the one in the forest cathedral that can make sinners see regret and get salvation. ”

“…… Great, but I don't think bastards will repent just seeing a painting. Jona was silent for a moment, if there is no one to destroy Aaron's simple kindness, then it is good to continue like this, it is rare to have such a pure heart, but the more this is the case, the more likely it is that the ugliness of the future reality will crush him.

Anyway, she decided to remind Aaron, "It's impossible to expect a villain to repent or reflect, and when that person kneels before you to apologize and show repentance, it's because he was forced to do so by force or for some other reason." Of course, there may be cases where he was transformed, but most of the things that shook him were related to himself, not just a painting. ”

"JOJO, YOU...... Is that what you think? ”

Aaron seemed a little hit by Jona's words, and he smiled hard, "But I think most people in this world can still be redeemed." ”

"That's just your wishful thinking that they need to be redeemed, Aaron." Joanna shook her head and pointed out mercilessly, "Actually, most people know what they are doing, and if they do something but don't even have the consciousness to bear the consequences, then how can they be entitled to ask for forgiveness?" I've seen many, many very bad people, so bad that no matter how hard you try, their goals never change. So with that kind of guy, what you need is not to move him, but to clean up so that he can no longer do anything bad. Villain's regret and introspection? Is that kind of thing necessary? It's not that the harm he has done will disappear if he repents, only his victims are qualified to forgive him, and no one else. ”

"But ......"

Aaron was stunned for a moment, as if he was about to say something, when the priest, who had been watching them quietly, suddenly interrupted them.

"You seem to have a misunderstanding about this, dear young lady."

Hearing this, Jona turned her head and saw a young priest in a black robe walking over slowly, staring at her with a cold smile on his face and saying, "Those are not the only sinners who need to repent, in fact, every human being of you is a sinner." ”

“…… Father, do you want to say that human beings live by harming other living beings? Joanna looked at him expressionlessly.

"Oh? You understand it very quickly. Hypnos looked at her condescendingly, as if full of disdain, "Isn't it, once human beings come to this world, they are endlessly producing sin, and this sin will not stop until death, so in the end, death is the only way for every human to atone for their sins." ”

"But if you put it this way, isn't it not just humans, but also any animal or microorganism the same?" Jona couldn't help but retort, "Survival is the instinct of all life, and the birth of life is the miracle of God's creation, and under the condition that life is equal, I don't think I am guilty of living." And wouldn't it be unfair to put those who are trying to survive and follow the rules and the reckless villains to be sinners? ”

"Lord Hades will judge all for their sins—" said Hypnos coldly, "some will enter the Pure Land of Bliss, while those who are guilty will become evil spirits and suffer forever in purgatory!" ”

“…… Who are you. ”

Jona suddenly took a step closer to the priest, and suddenly used the daughter of the forest green behind her and punched the priest in the face.

“！！”

Hypnos took the punch almost instantaneously, his eyes widened slightly as he looked at Jona's stand-in, then grinned and pushed the Mori Green Daughter away with one finger.

"Oh? Noticed? He lifted his chin haughtily and looked at the girl staring at him.

"Is that you, Persephone?"

“…… What the hell are you talking about. ”

Jona took a step back, she was very surprised that the other party could see her stand-in! Is it also a stand-in messenger?! No...... Maybe it's a saint warrior, she put on a fighting posture on guard, but the other party didn't say anything, as if she didn't care about her at all, and a slight sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Didn't you wake up either? But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you save zài or not, things that are already destined cannot be changed. He said something completely incomprehensible, and then slowly moved his gaze back to Aaron, and when he looked at the stunned and overwhelmed teenager, his eyes would become completely different again. It's as if everyone but Aaron is an unsightly ant.

"It's not quite time yet." Hypnos muttered to himself.

It's not ...... Master Hades will be able to wake up.
