Chapter 22. Prayer and Salvation (15) I've never lived my life seriously contemplating my purpose. It could be said that I lived impulsively, without setting goals or making plans. However, if I had to pick one goal I had within that, it would be to deny the existence of God. The reason for that denial was simply because of the words and actions of my family towards me. Thinking about it now, I don't know how I managed to maintain that thought until I got so old. Going back…-

Chapter 22. Prayer and Salvation (14) It's not like I've never prayed before. When I was young, in my innocent days when I knew nothing. I believed for a short while, following my parents. Ironically, the wish I prayed for then was a little different from what my parents thought. I prayed for a family that loved me. A family that loved me more than you, God. Well, I don't know. Perhaps my family didn't love me? Wasn't the story that you go to hell if you don't believe in…

Chapter 22. Prayer and Salvation (13) Yes. There were a few questions. For a being that can lend its power across various 'other worlds', and in this world where one can leap across all sorts of worlds through gates, how could it not lend its power just because it's a little far away? It was understandable if it wasn't the omnipotent God I imagined, but there were many points to question. ......In such a world, in such a place, it was difficult for 'life' to exist. In Anna and…

Chapter 22. Prayer and Salvation (12) Did all the hormones that were secreted to the point of making my head spin run out? Slowly, various parts of my body started to ache. My shoulder, torn by some attack while I was running frantically with Ria. My thigh, as if pierced by something. My calf. The most unbearable part was my two hands. "......Haa." Looking at them, it was no wonder they hurt. The holes were almost beyond repair. Several of my fingers were dangling. I…

Chapter 22. Prayer and Salvation (11) Many people affiliated with the church had heard about the destroyed world described by the Saintess. A world devoid of everything, without any life, where only demonic creatures and demons existed. The Saintess, and those who followed her, did not explain the meaning of it, so people made various speculations. There are many reasons why people wage war. Usually, wars have justifications. However, in the end, no matter what justification…

Chapter 22. Prayer and Salvation (10) Before I knew it, Ria hugging my waist became our unique fighting style. Come to think of it, it was like this from the beginning. To hit the guy high up in the sky, we had no choice but to do it this way. I heard the horse whinny. I can't fully read the animal's thoughts- but well, I think it might have liked me a little. Or was it just a gentle creature? As we leaped upwards, the horse slowed its pace. It must have been difficult. We…

Chapter 22. Prayer and Salvation (9) It's good to spend peaceful time. It's a good thing to be pressed against Ria, and to be reminded that the person I love is there. That person also loves me, and I think I want to be with her for the rest of my life. Moreover, marriage. Marriage. It was nice that we naturally brought up such topics without anyone initiating it. Yes. In fact, we are still young. If I count my past life, I can't say I'm that young, but Ria has just turned…

Chapter 22. Prayer and Salvation (8) I galloped across the green plains, or rather, the once-green plains, with the flag in one hand and the horse. It's a romantic scene, if you consider it romantic. In fact, I felt a little exhilarated. The view swaying up and down was a bit dizzying, but the sound of hooves pounding the ground... was different from the sound of wheels rolling. Don Quixote. Yes. Suddenly, I felt like Don Quixote from the story. Far away, I saw a giant with…

Chapter 22. Prayer and Salvation (6) I received a report on the knights' condition from Verena, a knight of the Inquisition. It was a report that they were all fully prepared. The knights had eyes shining as if they could attack the holy war at any moment. "......Just please don't throw your lives away because of that." I replied like that. "Yes!" A response that seemed to shake the ground echoed back. I also visited the camp where the soldiers were staying. There were…

Chapter 22. Prayer and Salvation (7) Gloria looked quite flustered by my words, but eventually nodded. She returned with a slightly dazed expression, but well, it should be fine. "My goodness, is that something a saint should say?" After sending Gloria off, Ria asked me that, but I stared intently at Ria. "Then, are the actions Ria took towards me the actions a knight should take?" We both laughed, looking at each other. As I grabbed the terrace railing and stood, Ria…
