yes.

The next day.

A man I had only seen once opened the door to where I was and came looking for me.

“Are you the apostle the leader speaks of?”

Neatly-tied hair and clean clothes. Although he does not have a ton-sura like a monk, he does have a bowl-shaped haircut. His complexion looks healthy. Of course, that is because he was one of the four people below when he was summoned.

Is there one person left now?

Anyway, I say hello.

“Hello.”

“Yes, hello. My name is Andrew. You’re a little different than I thought.”

Well, being an apostle of God is a title given to a great person, so it is not a title that suits me.

Rather, I am on the side that is far from God. If you go from beast to human and then to God, then the one on the opposite side with human in the middle?

I can see a faint disappointment on Andrew’s face.

Is this not the person you were expecting?

I don’t know what her intentions were, but Joanna happened to be out of the office, so she came when no one else was there.

I don’t ask questions. I let them figure it out. If they have questions, ask them. Because if you ask questions, their knowledge level is revealed in an instant.

Even if you don’t do it, you’ll get caught someday!

Those who are in high positions in a cult can see others well. At least, considering the people in between, they are not ordinary people.

so.

As I was just staring, Andrew looked back at me.

But I know there’s a device that Hieronymus is watching me with, and yet he comes in so confidently?

Don’t you know?

Even though Hyukkeshni came in while Joanna was still there, she’s carrying a staff like that and calling herself a witch, so it’s likely that this cult is a side job.

I looked at the Future Hope Church from the perspective of four people, but none of them carried a cane like hers, let alone one.

The place where Witga is is presumed to be where the Future Hope Church’s armed forces are trained, but there are people there who use magic, but no long staffs.

There is a high probability that the profession of the Witch of Hyukkeshni is different from the Future Hope Church. For example, if they just use it.

I thought she came to me because she was just thinking about me, whether she was confident in her power.

But this guy is different.

You’re trying to figure me out. You must be thinking of something else if you’re aiming for a spot where no one is around.

Is this a question that people from the Future Hope Church shouldn’t ask?

“Do you like where you are now, Rebecca?”

Look, I said, figure out if your current position is good or bad. Most people say no. So I’ll do the same.

“No.”

I really don’t like it. The room is spacious, but it’s a closed room with no windows.

It’s not that it’s stuffy though.

Rather, I am wide open.

It’s wide, expansive, and empty everywhere, so it’s very cold.

I want to harvest warmth by shooting something like Rebecca Beam, but I don’t think I have the attack function. I look at Andrew while thinking about something else.

“Oh, so you’re saying you’re dissatisfied with Hieronymus for keeping you in this place?”

Let’s see.

How should I take this? Usually, when you say you don’t like the seat, shouldn’t the next sentence be where you’re going? Or shouldn’t you ask where you like the place?

Are you here to test me to see if I have any complaints?

There are things you can say in front of someone, and there are things you can’t say.

Moreover, if it holds life and death in your hands, you cannot say anything even if you are dissatisfied.

But here, answering yes or no is not a good answer.

“Why are you dissatisfied?”

Actually, I don’t intend to hear the reason. I’m just saying this.

I’m doing what he tells me to do. I don’t like this place, but I don’t think about it.

“Rebecca, you mean you’re just doing whatever Hieronymus tells you to do? Indeed. But if you don’t like this room, you could have told him to change to another room. He’s the leader of this Future Hope Church. He can do anything.”

Of course I know he’s a cult leader.

And I also know that you are very cold towards the Future Hope Church itself. So if you ask me to do something, I will do it, but I just don’t think much about it because it’s just annoying that there are no windows, and it’s okay to just live there.

There are four ominous tools embedded in the ceiling.

If you want to attack in case of an emergency, there are a lot of things to prepare if you move rooms.

It’s not time yet.

This is a pretty deep place. When Jerome took the kids out, it was quite a walk uphill before anyone else started to appear.

He’ll either relent or move rooms if he feels he can make better use of them.

I know that’s a snarky comment here, right? If I say the same thing, I don’t know if he’s listening to me or if he’s just letting it all slide.

Instead, I’d like to ask something different here.

“Do you want what Jerome calls a blessing?”

Yes, let me tell you that I didn’t say blessing.

It was Hieronymus who decided that. I don’t know anything. I’m just doing what I’m told. That’s the appeal.

It’s strangely difficult to talk about.

Leader. Shouldn’t someone who serves with true loyalty be called Jerome?

No matter how much I think about it, there’s no way I could be higher than Jerome, so I didn’t use the abdication method.

Andrew closed his mouth at my words.

“Ahaha, Jerome will take care of that. If you feel uncomfortable talking to Jerome directly, I will personally tell him to change rooms. I don’t want the Apostle of God to have any inconveniences while staying, do I?”

Andrew turned the subject around and refused.

It’s still an unknown technology, so you’re afraid to use it on yourself?

I don’t know how to use it myself. When I put it in, the light turned black and I gained special abilities. Isla’s overall physical performance just increased, but Wide uses purple flames along with increased physical abilities. Tisha gained regenerative abilities. However, Tisha’s physical abilities don’t seem to have improved in any particular way.

Each one is different.

Since Wide has advertised so much, Hieronymus will send me more harvesters.

And one more thing.

I have a rough idea of how much to put in. If I keep practicing like this, I might be able to give myself without exploding even if I hit rock bottom later.

So, there is one thing to be said here.

“Yes. Do what you want.”

I don’t know anything. They are just animals that are locked inside. Whether you keep them inside and raise them, or put them in a glass window and show them to them, as long as you give them warmth, they are satisfied.

yes.

So, let’s close our eyes to the possibility that there might be some malice on Andrew’s face that has since vanished, or that he might have some feud with Hieronymus.

I wish it would catch fire.

That way you can get some warmth.

In order for the harvester to work in earnest, a time of chaos is necessary. Isn’t that the case with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? In a peaceful world, people who would have been forgotten become heroes when times of chaos came, and they came to the forefront of history.

And then, after that, tens, hundreds, thousands of bloods are shed.

Then the harvest season takes warmth away from others.

There was no warmth coming from the opponent that Isla had subdued. So, it was necessary to kill him.

Wide showed me. Just by killing, warmth flows into me.

“Yes, I understand. Rebecca. Please look forward to the good news.”

Andrew must have thought he had gotten his fill of the conversation, so he said goodbye to me and left the room.

Oh, what a pity.

I want to bury myself in the author’s mind too.

But there is another seed left.

The one who put me in. Tisha.

He is a boy who has now realized his abilities and is learning how to fight by rolling around diligently under his instructor. With his increased regenerative powers, he is concentrating on learning without worrying about his own body.

A revolutionary type of boy who finds strangeness in the logic that governs the present and searches for the right answer.

I’m sure it’ll be fun.

It’s actually funny because, surprisingly, Wide is defending Tisha. I guess in his eyes, he’s training desperately because he wasn’t chosen.

The more you do that, the more the difference between wide and tight becomes apparent. No matter how hard you try, you can see that the difference is growing.

And that really fills Wide’s self-esteem.

It even amplifies it, because his classmates and the instructors who taught him look at him with admiration.

There is a saying among those people:

I wish I could be blessed too.

That’s amazing.

As expected, it’s wide.

There is a growing number of people who want to become harvesters themselves.

No, from now on, don’t say you’re putting me in. Make it simpler. Blessing.

That’s good. It sounds like you got something good when you did it. In reality, you just put me in that bowl.

That doesn’t mean that the me contained within is separate.

To put it simply, let’s say there’s a big basin full of water. That water is me.

Putting me in someone’s hands is not like scooping water into a cup.

Just turn the cup upside down and put it in water.

Then the air pockets are created, but oh my gosh.

Once you agree to a contract, the air escapes.

In reality, it’s a little different, but that’s roughly how it is. All of the waters that are me are connected. How much cups can I put in is a homework for later.

Because I heard the sound of footsteps thumping in the distance.

The sound suddenly stopped in front of the door. Then Hieronymus, pretending to be expressionless, opened the door and came in.

He looked at me with a very nervous expression, then looked around and then looked at me again.

Something special happened. But I guess I don’t know what happened? So I decided to do what I always do.

“Hello, Hieronymus.”
