Chapter 41: The Burden
"Whew~ I'm really tired. ”
Standing in front of the house, Amia gasped slightly.
Walking out of the swamp with Crosby, Emia was separated from them. didn't even hand in the task, and Amia ran back to the wizarding garden without stopping.
Out of the swamp forest, the suppression of the world has unsurprisingly increased, although it is much lower than at the beginning, but it still makes Amia very unhappy.
Calming down her depressed mood, Emia walked straight into the house, and if the sense was correct, Catalia was inside.
Opening the door, Amia walked in, and the living room was empty, except for a man who looked to be in his thirties, reading a book.
The soft face, the long black hair that goes straight to the vest, the white and flawless wizard robes, and the elegance that exudes at all times are all praiseworthy.
Probably because of the loud sound of Emia opening the door, the man looked away from the book, raised his head, and looked at him.
The man just looked straight at him, his eyes rolling up and down, and he looked creepy.
Emia was about to ask, but the man spoke first.
"The voice is loud. Ahem......"
A simple little trick was performed by the man, and then he adjusted his voice.
"Little Renee, your big brother is back. ”
A deafening sound came from the man's mouth and spread throughout the house.
The aftermath was still swirling in the living room, and the sound of hurried footsteps came down the stairs.
Renee, who ran down the stairs, saw Omia standing in the living room and pounced.
"Big brother, you're back. ”
Emia caught Renee and spun her around before she landed smoothly on the ground.
"Well, just came back. ”
Immediately after, a group of people ran down the stairs, Catlea, Mia, Silfi, and a young girl they had met for the first time.
"Since it's okay, the old man will leave first. ”
The man put down the book in his hand, stood up, walked over to Renee, and reached out to rub Renee's head.
"Grandpa, are you going to leave so soon?
It's strange to watch Renee call Grandpa to someone about her father's age.
If there were no accidents, this person should be the same mentor Renee had been a few days ago.
"There's still something going on, next time!"
The man shook his head in refusal, walked to the door, and turned to look at Cateria, as if something had suddenly occurred to him.
"The little girl of the Scarrot family, the old man sees that this young man is good, so don't worry too much. Otherwise, if you manage it too strictly, it will not be likable. ”
Although there were two little girls from the Scarlot family present, everyone knew who the man was talking about. Without waiting for Catalia to reply, the man closed the door and left.
The girl standing next to Sielfi looked at the delicate situation at the scene and reached out to grab Silfi.
"Since there's nothing to do, then Silvie and I will leave first, and I'll let you know Sister Yuni. ”
"Oh, why, I want to stay and play for a while!"
"Excuse me, Wentini. ”
Ignoring Silfi, who was constantly struggling, Wendini dragged her directly out of the residence.
Silphie's noise faded away.
"Ahh ”
Renee suddenly ran quickly behind Mia from Emia and pushed her towards the kitchen.
"But, Third Miss, ...... now"
"I don't care, I don't care, I just want to eat it now. ”
Regardless of Mia's obstruction, Renee just pushed her all the way away, although Renee would definitely not be able to push if Mia really didn't want to go, but Mia wouldn't do it.
In just a few minutes, everyone else had already left, and only Yamaia and Catalia were left in the living room.
Looking at Catlea, who bowed her head and was silent, Emia didn't say a word, just looked at her silently.
"Am I really wrong to do this?"
In the end, it was Catlia who spoke first.
"No, that's not wrong, I'm glad you're worried about me. But don't forget, I'm an oracle, and no one can threaten me. ”
Emia looked at Catalia with an unusually serious look in her eyes.
"And, because I'm an angel of God, I have to deal with something for God. If I am the only one who can handle it, but if you run over, it will make me worry and I will not be able to play properly, after all, you are my contractor. ”
That venerable god hasn't given me a mission until now, and I don't know when it will be released. Emia complained inwardly.
Yes, Omia is an oracle who has been fighting for Lord Mana, and I'm only dragging my feet in doing so. Catelia recalls what Manna had shown her through the experience of Himia, with a look of loss on her face.
My own concern has brought a burden to my sweetheart, which is a very sad and sad thing.
Tears gradually wet Cateria's eyes, slid down her cheeks, and dripped to the ground.
"Sorry, let me be quiet. ”
Catelia wiped her tears from her hands and turned to run upstairs. The door slammed and she returned to her room.
Emia stood in place, watching Catalia leave without moving, sighed softly, and sat down on the couch.
It's a bit of a weight, but it's a must. If this continues, maybe something will happen to Catalia one day, and then Amia will once again face the situation of being expelled from the world. And, as far as Emia is concerned, he doesn't want anything to happen to Catalia either.
"Let her be quiet for now! If that doesn't work, think of a way. ”
――――――――――
On the quiet park path, an elegant man is walking slowly.
Shoulder-length black hair, white wizard's robes, this man was the man who had left their lodgings in Umia, Renee's newly recognized mentor.
The man took out a small glass ball, put it on the palm of his hand, and injected a faint mana into it.
An erratic glow lit up from the glass ball, gradually leveling off.
"Vice-President! ”
A calm male voice came from the glass ball.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly want to talk to Xiaoqi. ”
The man said softly with a kind expression on his face.
"......" The glass ball was silent for a moment, and then returned, "If it's okay, I'll hang up, and I still have something to deal with." ”
The owner of the voice seemed to be a bit annoying to the man, and was ready to disconnect without saying a word.
"Really, can't Xiao Qi be lively......!
Halfway through the man's words, the light of the glass ball suddenly dimmed.
The man was stunned for a moment, and injected mana into the glass ball again, and the light was steady again.
"Really, how could Xiao Qi suddenly cut off contact, this is very rude......"
The light of the glass ball dimmed again, and the man repeated the process of linking again.
“......”
There was still not a sound coming from the other side of the glass ball.
"Wait, don't hang up, it's about the messenger of God. ”
Feeling that the other side was about to hang up the connection again, the man hurriedly cut to the chase.
"What's the matter?"
There was finally a response from the other side.
"I've been in contact with the oracle. ”
"This is my task. ”
"That's why I'm here to tell you now! The power of the Divine Envoy has awakened. ”
There was another long silence on the other side.
"Anything else?"
"Well, no. ”
The light of the glass ball dimmed again.
After staring at the glass orb, which had no glimmer of light, the man put it away, looked up, and looked up at the blue sky.
"Lord God has finally made a move, and I don't know what the results will be this time. ”
PS: I feel like there are really fewer and fewer people watching it
