The sins of the seventh day were taken away, and the world on that day was pure, and people were thankful and rejoiced in their lives. But then sin will reappear in the crowd, and it is inevitable. The messenger used all his strength to take away only one day's sins.

The gods knew this, and the voice seemed to know it, and even Hatsuya was already vaguely aware of it. Sin will not go away or end, it will be a never-ending road, and the mire on the road will only make it more and more difficult for her to walk.

But Chu still chose to stay, this is the price she should pay, whether she is twisted, or whether she is willing to fall. In the endless slaughter of this wasteland, she has long been lost and twisted, all she can do is find a direction where she should go, and keep going.

She was going to take away people's sins because there were people who deserved her to do it, because it was the only reason she could let go of what she had done.

At first glance, she was already so filthy that she couldn't face the people and life in the door.

So she stayed, in this place as filthy as she was.

At first, I realized that she just couldn't forgive herself.

Even if the gods had forgiven her, she could not forgive herself.

In the wasteland, the messenger sat silently, and the pitch-black evil wrapped in her body squirmed from time to time, looking full of unknown and fear, containing all the negative emotions of people. The sin in her body grew, and she grew stronger. Of course, this is only from one side.

At first, I waited quietly for a new mission to come.

This is when the sound appears, but it does not bring a new task.

"Hatsu, do you have any requirements before the next mission?"

The voice asked, if there was, within the rules, it could help the beginning of the implementation.

Request?

At first, she thought for a moment in the direction the voice came from, perhaps on a whim, she said.

"Tell me a joke. ”

This wasteland is too oppressive and heavy.

The voice paused, and the first request was once again a little difficult for it to deal with, and for a moment it could not find a joke in its endless knowledge.

There was silence for a long time before the voice spoke.

"Once upon a time a man from Athens came to my temple and prayed to me for a healthy child. I looked up his life and told him that you won't have a wife for the rest of your life, so you won't have children. ”

The voice finishes its joke.

But when I sat there, my face was still expressionless.

Truth be told, the joke isn't funny, and it's not a good act to laugh at other people's life sore spots.

Half-loud, the voice said unnaturally faintly.

"I'm not going to tell jokes. ”

"Huh. But this time, Chu slightly hooked the corners of his mouth and laughed.

"Hehe, it turns out that you also can't do things. ”

His voice seemed to be speechless for a moment, and after a pause, he said, "I am not a god, and I cannot be omniscient. ”

Then it went on to ask.

"Do you really have nothing else to ask for?"

This time she thought about it seriously, she thought for a long time, and waited quietly in her voice.

It is a very patient person with Chu Chu, because their life is theoretically endless.

"I want to meet a few people. ”

Chu said.

Although the voice says that it cannot be omniscient and omnipotent like the gods, it is not much different.

As soon as it started, it knew who the people it wanted to see in its heart were.

"Yes. It replied, "But at a cost." ”

Because that's the rule.

"I understand. Chu didn't care what the price was, she already had nothing to take away from it anyway.

"There were four of them. The voice said to Chu: "The price is that you can't see and can't speak." ”

At first I understood the meaning of the voice, the price was permanent, and in the future she would never see or speak again, just like her deprived sense of touch and taste.

"Have you decided, you can only see them once. ”

The voice once again confirmed her request to Hatsu.

"Hmm. Chu nodded, anyway, even if she kept it now, the sin would take away her eyes and words sooner or later, wouldn't it?

"So. The clouds in the sky dispersed, and one fell in front of Hatsu, and the light led to another world.

"Go ahead. The voice said.

She looked at the light, noted the last sight her eyes could see, and stepped into the light.

······

The Reinhardt Empire was so prosperous.

The sun shines as if it were forever, like the brilliance of gold, shining on all things in the empire.

The streets of the city are full of goods and pedestrians, and people have their pockets full of money and can buy everything they want.

In the fields of the countryside, the fence encircles one farmland after another, and the fields are full of green crops, and the faces of the people who cultivate them are sweaty and smiling.

The path connecting the city and the fields smells of weeds and dirt, the guards talk about which tavern to go to after work, and the herdsmen drive their cattle and sheep.

It's an ideal country, and it's the way it exists, with all the ideals that people have had before, so good that one wonders if it's not real.

And the one who brought all this to the people was the queen who was praised by people, Hillman of Reinhardt.

In the record, in the last battle to establish the empire, she wore a red cloak and held a brilliant golden sword, standing at the highest point of the battlefield, and everyone was impressed by her.

Now, thirty years later, Queen Hillman is already old.

Although the queen has no heirs, she has adopted a princess, a princess of noble character, who is embraced by all the people of the empire, and there is no doubt that she will inherit the throne.

However, the princess has a slight penchant for collecting things about the Black Knight.

The Black Knight is one of the two knights who founded the Empire, and along with Sword Saint Rowland, he is known as the two swords of the Empire.

It's just a pity that after the establishment of the empire, she was not heard from, and only her past deeds were left in the world, recorded in that biography one by one.

The little princess grew up listening to the stories of the Black Knight, both her mother and her swordsmanship teacher Roland had told her the story of the knight countless times.

The story of the bloody undead knight and the black sword that slaughtered the betrayer, this story made the princess have a huge interest in the knight she has never met since she was a child.

She yearns for the glory of that knight, silent, but never shy away from the struggle, fighting fearlessly for the glory.

If she could, she would be like the Black Knight to protect her mother and the Empire.

That's why she always collects books and items about the Black Knight, and she always wears a black armor.

However, this is just a small hobby of the princess, and it does not affect people's admiration for her.
