    Episode 282 – Children of God 15 –

    All fragments of truth come together and converge to one point.

    In the end, even if it is a fixed future. There was something we needed to know.

    She is destined to fall.

    Even if it is destined to be against us in the end.

    Conversation must be shared.

    Praising disabled veterans who are no longer useful.

    Like holding a funeral for a dead person who no longer remains in this world.

    Even if it’s no longer useful.

    Stories need to be shared.

    A saint of healing.

    I needed to head to the express camp to see her.

    -The first thing to do is to find the location. Honestly, this isn’t difficult. At least if you give me a little time, my informant can figure it out. Or maybe you already knew.

    Due to its nature, the location of the special detention center is unknown.

    You cannot attack a place that is known but whose location you do not know.

    Even the prisoners who escaped did not know how to get in there.

    The reason is very simple.

    Because they put a strange barrier around it.

    I can’t figure out what’s happening outside.

    A barrier that makes one question the role of the barrier, and it is overwhelmingly easier to get out from the inside than to get in from the outside.

    It created a mess where escape was possible but entry was impossible.

    “So even if I get out, I just get out after becoming a kind of lost child. You don’t know the exact location. It’s a place that makes it easy to escape, but makes entry impossible.”

    It may be said that if a prison is more difficult to escape from than it is to enter, it may not be functioning as a prison.

    For them, there is a stigmata that allows them to see the future.

    There was a clairvoyant who could see a thousand miles from where he sat.

    Escape would be meaningless anyway.

    If you escape on your own, there is a high probability that the Holy Sword will be waiting where you left.

    Even if you are lucky enough to have foresight, you cannot escape clairvoyance.

    Sanctuary, Elijah.

    It’s different from the vampire principality.

    Bright 24 hours a day. Because it is the land of light.

    “Eventually, you can break in properly, but you can’t just break out of jail. Then you’ll just get caught right away. My source may not know, but we have no transparency.”

    “Then doesn’t that mean there is no other way? What are you going to do?”

    How do you do it?

    It’s surprisingly simple.

    “What is it? We have great power.”

    Even Seonghwangcheong in its heyday dare not do anything.

    The pinnacle of power and lineage.

    The royal family.

    “Let’s go first. I will explain later.”

    We had only one day left.

    The explanation was sufficient as it went.

    That’s how I come out and move to Ygrasil. And Alice.

    I set out to find a way to a special camp somewhere on this earth.

    =========

    “… This way.”

    Follow the guide’s directions and head to one side.

    The guide guided us very kindly.

    Those who belong to the Holy See do not gain some kind of new nationality like the Vatican does.

    They are simply citizens of the empire and are exempt from taxes.

    This strange form of companionship is due to the fact that, unlike the modern Vatican, the relationship between the Empire and the Holy Imperial Office is quite one-sided.

    Seonghwangcheong tries to avoid doing dirty things as much as possible in order to become clean.

    In order for a group at the level of Seonghwangcheong to be maintained without any flaws, there must be at least a few people.

    Therefore, the empire was in charge of the backroom dealings of the Seonghwangcheong.

    Seonghwangcheong personally took care of things that were difficult to do.

    That’s why the empire is in a position to benefit from the Holy Emperor’s Office.

    He was able to occupy the position of Gap in his relationship with Seonghwangcheong.

    Because of that. Among the people belonging to Seonghwangcheong.

    There are also people who are loyal to the empire.

    “You can rule over such people with a basic aura of domination. So you’re telling me to move you to your seat like this?”

    The information about the express detention center that was released was surprising.

    There was no normal exit here to begin with.

    The official outlets were things that escaped prisoners used.

    That should have been considered from the beginning, too.

    The reason he failed to escape despite using that route was because of his foresight and clairvoyance.

    This means that any normal person can just get away with it.

    So under her guidance.

    Finally, the being we wanted to see stuck out its head.

    “Wow… This really exists.”

    A woman locked in a prison.

    The pure white hair seen on such a woman.

    Clothing that is different from the regular prison uniform.

    The atmosphere seems too noble to be a criminal.

    She we knew.

    She was a saint of healing.

    “It’s really here.”

    “… How did you know about this place? ”

    “That’s not that important, what’s more important is why you didn’t tell us. After listening to it, I guess the end wasn’t unexpected. Don’t you want to live?”

    “Do you want to live…? Did you… ?”

    “Yes.”

    Our conversation with her went quickly.

    But her head gradually lowered.

    A saint of healing.

    Why did she make that choice? Because we seemed to know it well.

    I just came to see it one last time before I die.

    “Everyone… Do you think I will become evil in the future?”

    The healing saint was silent for a long time before speaking with difficulty.

    And I couldn’t give a proper answer to that.

    The reason I couldn’t answer was extremely simple.

    just… Because we know better than anything else.

    The future seen by the four saints, excluding the healing saint who specialized in healing stigmata.

    It is absolutely immutable. The only way to turn this around is through the power of God.

    To change the event itself, not the individual.

    That the cause of the incident must be exposed to the power of that god.

    “Yes. I know that too. So I chose it. The corruption… It’s something I don’t want either. If I become corrupted, I will fight with you and many problems will arise.

    The citizens will be anxious about my corruption, the authority of the Holy Imperial Office will decline, and the citizens will lose their right to go to heaven because of my corruption… This is the right thing to do.”

    So please don’t worry.

    At least, it will remain in your memories. Because I want it to be beautiful.

    It seems as if the healing saint is the future of her own choosing. They tried to send us back.

    She said she hopes that she will be remembered in the end as beautiful.

    “… ”

    Regardless of the appearance the saint shows.

    The saint’s doctor was solid.

    So we had no choice but to get out.

    “Let’s go.”

    We do that.

    Even though the operation was successful, I experienced a very unpleasant success.

    ========

    ‘Is there no way…? ?’

    As I left there, I kept thinking about it over and over again.

    Is it really impossible?

    Is one person destined to die like this?

    If you enter the sacrificial ritual, there is a high probability that you will die.

    Since there is not even an offering, they are sure to die.

    In fact, it has no possibility and is almost a futile effort.

    It is too difficult to save, so giving up would be an option.

    But I can tell.

    The Holy Virgin of Healing herself did not want this situation to happen.

    Perhaps because she was still young, she seemed to have figured out that calming down was enough.

    But her body was honest.

    Legs shaking.

    Hands clenched tightly.

    A beating heart.

    Time keeps turning.

    They were all saying the same thing.

    ‘The Saint of Healing does not want to die yet.’

    It was a natural result in the first place.

    They say that even I, who have experienced death, hate death.

    What can you expect from a child who is barely 19 years old?

    Even people in their 80s are afraid of death.

    So think about it.

    If you want to live.

    First of all, it’s polite to save someone’s life.

    Think again.

    Do I really have a way to save the healing saint?

    ‘… Although it is difficult. ‘It’s not like it doesn’t exist, right?’

    there is.

    To me.

    It is not offered as a sacrifice.

    A way to twist the future with the power of God.

    ‘The stigmata of the evil spirit… !’

    But I found the answer.

    There were still remaining issues.

    ‘If I reveal information, I will ultimately be in danger. If you use the evil spirit’s stigmata, you may be able to save the healing saint from her fate… ! In the end, I will end up on the execution platform.’

    Should that really be the case?

    Is her life worth more than mine?

    I thought about it carefully.

    No matter how much I looked at it, it wasn’t.

    Although I am not the type to cherish life.

    I had no intention of dying until I at least left a clear trace on this earth.

    Do I really need to choose death for that…

    ‘… wait for a sec.’

    After living for a long time. I guess I forgot.

    I am not originally a resident of ‘this world’.

    This world is just another opportunity given to me.

    The original ‘me’ has long ago disappeared into ashes.

    Originally, the healing saint would have stayed alive and fought against the incarnation of sin.

    I don’t know what the future will be like. Because it was an online game. Maybe they won and achieved peace.

    In that world line, you would have met someone and got married in a happy ending.

    The future called death is confirmed. It’s just this world line right now.

    Yes.

    It’s just the line of ‘this world’ that a stranger called ‘me’ got caught up in.

    “… ”

    I’m at a loss for words.

    What needs to be done has been decided.

    What I would do was simple.

    The healing saint. Save her.

    Even if he is chased as a saint of evil spirits.

    That is. To a person who would have originally had a happy future.

    It is the duty of the stranger who gives a bad ending.

    ‘At least I’ll make you laugh at the end.’

    In my heart, I sent a letter that would never be delivered.

    We left for the festival the next day.
