The city in the woods, three hundred kilometers away from the Pope's Chamber, is an enclave of the inner courtyard of the Holy See, which was built to provide a convenient place for the Star Saint Irene to live and conduct religious affairs, and was completed not long ago.

Originally, she planned to live here for a long time, but in recent days, Irene's mind has become more and more disturbed, especially the fact that she is going to be married to the "Divine Son", which makes her anxious and helpless.

"Sister Erin, do you feel that your life is never in your own hands?"

"No one is completely in control of their own destiny, everyone is struggling in the 'net', or this one is badly implicated, or the other is in trouble."

After Kurumi gets an extremely ample amount of time at the ball, the use of his abilities becomes more and more incomprehensible. It seems that not long ago, he was performing in a drama on the campus thousands of miles away, and at this moment he came to Erin's boudoir and served a tea party.

Erin is not very sensitive to the amount of power, in her eyes, Mad San, Jing Xiang, and Qian Hanxing are all equally powerful, but none of them are terrible. This was her initial impression of the force gradient, and she had no intention of delving into it.

"Sister, Jingxiang said he likes you, oops, I'm so jealous!" Crazy Thirty is very pompous, but Erin doesn't appreciate it.

"Well, I don't feel anything about this, and if you like him, I won't interfere."

"Tsk!" For a moment, Kurumi even felt that Erin was unreasonable, "Then why did you run back and not say a word to him?" ”

"I'm curious how you know that I live here and can come along."

"Don't digress, I know that this is natural, but I've been in the most dangerous place for so long!" Kurumi was a little complacent, and the corners of his mouth rose a little.

"You really ...... It's so easy......" Erin glanced at Mad San, and her words couldn't hide the envy, "If only I ...... If only it were as simple as you. ”

"Simple?" Kurumi frowned, "Are you insulting me?" ”

Erin shook her head in denial, "Of course not. I'm just a little lamenting myself, I've been ...... since I was a kid Because I think too much and it's complicated, even if my adoptive parents spoil me in every way, I will keep a certain distance. They also didn't treat me as a child, and when they lost interest, they would change to ...... Although it is the fault of troubled times, it ...... I must have made a lot of mistakes, after all, no child is as thoughtful and sad as I am, right? ”

"You really have a bad character." Crazy San said bluntly, "But not everyone hates you, at least I won't, and not only that, Qian Hanxing and Jing Xiang love you very much, especially Jing Xiang, he cares about you all the time and misses you." Yet isn't it too much for you to give him such a response? ”

Erin sighed faintly, "I don't want to be so ruthless, indeed, I'm going too far." However, I also have troubles; As you know, I inherited the priesthood of my biological parents, the Star Saintess, and as a saint, in addition to practicing magic, I also carry religious significance and political responsibility; It's time for me to give my value...... The Pope asked me to marry the Son of God in order to win their favor. ”

"What!?" Kurumi said with a disgusted face, of course she was not targeting Erin, but about this matter, "Is this a 'political marriage'?" Did the old man take the wrong medicine? Or is it that 'God' is good at this?! ”

"I don't know...... I'm just a weak woman, I can't even care about my own life, what reason do I have to care so much? Maybe...... I should change my troublesome problem. Erin's tone was like that of an old woman.

"No! I have to talk to Jingxiang, he will never agree! Even if it's Enkidu's order, even if it's the son of God, it's ......"

"Haha—how's that too?"

Just as Kurumi was talking about Xingtou, a big smile came from outside the door.

Although the laughter showed the intensity of the atmosphere, as soon as the person entered the door, the indoor temperature dropped sharply, probably because of the feeling, no matter what, the visitor definitely did not have good intentions.

Kurumi couldn't help but gasp when he saw someone coming, she had seen this person in front of her!

Dressed in black and wearing a mask, he is mysterious and sneaky, and his trace is hard to find.

"Crazy three, crazy three...... The good apprentices I taught were brought bad by you! The mysterious man stood with his hands behind his back and sighed for a long time, out of step with the tension of the saber-rattling.

"Your apprentice is Jingxiang?"

"Exactly!"

This time it was Erin's turn to be surprised, she had never seen this mysterious person, and she had never heard Jing Xiang talk about her master.

Fortunately, Kurumi gave some explanation, which relieved his doubts.

"This man in black is the guy who taught Jingxiang the art of killing people in the three years after you left Jingxiang and came here."

"How can it be called murder? My apprentice is kind and has never killed anyone. The man in black defended Jing Xiang.

Kurumi looked nervous, "Indeed...... Not really, but you and I are not sure! Say, what is your purpose! ”

"I'm not really kind, but I'm honest, and my purpose is very simple, it's just to 'pray', and I only need half of it." The man in black smiled and rolled up his sleeves halfway, as if he was going to fight someone, but it was not.

In the upper part of his left arm, there are several deep scars that can be seen in the bone, and just by seeing it, people will feel severe pain, and people who faint blood are more likely to be nauseous and nauseous.

"For treatment?"

"No, it's to pay the price." The man in black said calmly.

"Heh, your price is self-harm?" Kurumi said he was happy to hear it.

The man in black shook his head and sighed, "You don't understand, but this injury was left by the woman who chased me and cut it countless times, but fortunately, I finally sent her to another dimension not long ago, and basically sealed her ability." ”

Hearing this news, whether it was true or not, Mad San cheered up her spirits, she knew that the person in front of her was difficult to deal with, and if she was not careful, she would be the one who died.

"So, you're going to send me to ...... this time."

"Sending you to hell, your variables are too great and...... Your eyes - I want it. The man in black and the crazy three looked at each other, and the latter obviously had a chill down his spine, and he looked away, and his momentum was three points behind.

"Hey...... You don't want to fight here, do you? Kurumi asked, squinting.

The man in black waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter.

"Can't you just give up force? Why do you want to put people to death!! Erin suddenly roared, completely out of line with her usual temperament.

Kurumi glanced at her in surprise, only to find that Irene's eyes were full of tears.

"I ......"

Kurumi recognized it, and she felt it—it was a feeble, helpless tear. Just like when he was expelled from the home planet because he knew about the Tongtian God Tower, he could only passively accept it, unable to resist, let alone enjoy it......

Over the years, she has been silently suffering, and then she began to learn to forget and learn to start again.

But now, Ireneen has reminded me of those old memories and those unbearable pasts. The past is not all with the wind.

"Erin......" Kurumi's hand, which had been touching the butt of the gun, was retracted under Erin's roar, and now he didn't know where to put it, so he had to pat Erin on the shoulder.

The man in black also understood the atmosphere, he silently paid attention to everything that was happening in front of him, and did not say a word. Maybe in his memory, there is also a past that he couldn't resist because of his lack of strength, and he regretted it the most...... He chose silence and listened.

In the end, the fight still didn't get started, because Erin made a proposal to have both worlds, a proposal that only one person needed to be sacrificed to save everyone - she would meet the Son of God, marry early, and in turn seize the papal power, replace the papacy with the Star Palace, kill Enkidu for the crime of murdering the Pope, and seize his pray, half of which will be given to the man in black.

"In this way, I wonder what your intentions are?" Erin seemed to be a different person, her eyes were like swords, and her tone was cold to the bone.

The man in black couldn't help but look at her with admiration, "It couldn't be better, since I fought that crazy woman, I haven't been very sure to get rid of Enkidu, and now that you say that, I am indeed very excited, and there is no reason to refuse." ”

"So...... Take me to meet Miko-sama. Erin looked far away, she knew that there were tigers in the mountains, and she preferred to go to the tiger mountains.

[Not being able to change your fate doesn't mean you can't grasp it, I shouldn't passively accept it anymore, I should - take the initiative to cater to it!] 】

Although they are both married to the unknown 'Son of God', passively accepting and actively welcoming have completely different meanings.

After all, it is obviously safer to leave the future to others to decide.

[Weak women also have weak women's practices! ] 】

"It's just that if you go to see him directly, I'm afraid it's still a little inappropriate."

The man in black suddenly hesitated, hesitating whether to tell the truth to Erin, who didn't know anything.

"What are you worried about? I'm the one who will be sacrificed! ”

"No...... I don't think you're sacrificing, you're making a lot of money and picking up a bargain. ”

"Huh?" Erin stared at the man in black with a "you're kidding me" expression, and the man in black scratched his head as if he was cute.

"All in all, you will understand when you go to meet with me, as for the crazy three, you better go and help Jingxiang's kid...... I'm afraid that he alone will not be able to withstand the ...... of the Ark"

Kurumi let out a "hmm", but turned his more worried gaze to Erin.

※※

The decision has been made, and the interests and disadvantages have been discerned; Seeing the real "Divine Son", she couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise.

Miko slept peacefully on a bed made of crystal, surrounded by plum blossom petals, all of which seemed to have been abandoned by time, forever frozen in the most beautiful moment. Miko is beautiful, he is a man, but he has a face that is softer than that of women, he looks serene, his eyes are closed, and his hands are held in front of his chest, as if he is guarding some secret that will last forever.

His long hair was pillowed behind his head, and there was a faint fragrance wafting in the room, which made people wonder: Who is it? Who built him such a luxurious and beautiful dormitory? Who is he, and what kind of origin is waiting to be told?

"He's a blind man, and his name is Yeyan."

The man in black said......
