I never would have thought that Aria had a past like this.
Kalt felt sorry for Arya’s situation, but was not very surprised.
In this world where monsters live and demons also exist, it sometimes happens that villages are attacked by monsters.
But just because it happens occasionally doesn’t mean it’s something to be treated calmly in front of the person involved.
“When I came to my senses, I was at a church. Adventurers moved me to a church in a nearby village. I later found out that it was not true, but… the people who saved me were several adventurers who had completed a big request and were going to the city via my village. They say it was.”
Aria said that adventurers who were moving near the village to make a stopover hurriedly ran when they saw the village being attacked.
But the only survivor in the village was Arya.
Afterwards, priests came looking for Aria, who had been spending a few days at the church where she woke up.
“Come with us, candidacy.”
The fact that Aria had stigmata was also reported to the high-ranking priests in the city, so they took Aria, a candidate for sainthood, to the city.
At the time, Aria, who was in shock from losing her village and her parents, was so devastated that she couldn’t even think of the option of refusing.
In the city’s churches, Arya was treated well as a candidate for sainthood.
At the same time, in order to live in the church, she was first taught to live as a nun.
Aria just did as she was told.
I learned what mindset to have as a nun and learned from the history of the world taught at church.
The priests also understood Arya’s feelings when her village was destroyed and her parents were lost right before her eyes, so they first taught her only things related to daily life.
As time passed, Aria, who had been devastated, began to regain her vitality little by little.
It was thanks to the kindness of the church people who treated her warmly that little by little, Aria’s heart was restored.
And the priests, who saw Aria’s recovery and thought she was okay now, decided to teach Aria the blessing of using sacred power and effective sacred attacks against monsters and demons.
“Aria, today let’s learn about blessings.”
“Blessing…?”
“Yes. Let’s pray to God and use the divine power in our hearts to perform a miracle. If you are Aria, I’m sure you can do it well.”
As expected from the priests, Aria successfully manifested the blessing.
There was no problem using the Holy Sword, a holy attack.
The priests had expectations.
Aria, a candidate for sainthood, will be one of the hopes to defeat the demons that appear from time to time.
However, not long after that expectation, the priests witnessed a serious problem that had arisen for Aria.
“Haa, haa, heeup! Haa, haa, haa!”
“Ah, Aria!”
“Are you okay!”
“Why… Why… Why… Mom, Dad… Everyone… Why… God, God, God, God… Why….”
It was while using blessings and holy attacks in succession to test how holy power it was.
Aria’s complexion turned pale and she began to breathe heavily.
Eventually, Aria lost her mind.
And it was not difficult to find out why Aria fell.
It was trauma.
It was okay to say a few blessings.
However, as it happened again and again, Aria started to see that nightmare day in her mind.
I vividly remembered the sound I heard the day I desperately prayed to God.
The screams of the villagers and the sight of them being killed by monsters.
Boom! A sound from above that makes you think your father has died.
The image of his mother falling down after being stabbed by a goblin right in front of his eyes.
The cold appearance of a mother who does not wake up no matter how many blessings are given or how her wounds heal.
And even though he prayed and prayed, in the end, there was a God who did not grant anything he wanted.
All the villagers died.
Dad also died.
Mom also died.
I prayed like that.
I prayed so much.
Why, why, why, why, why.
God of light.
If it really exists.
Why did you let me survive?
Are you really… Is it a trustworthy entity?
In the end, even though Aria had a lot of divine power as a candidate for sainthood, she was unable to fully demonstrate that ability.
The priests did not give up, but took the time to comfort Aria, instill hope, and gently tell her that she would be able to overcome it, and to focus more on what they could achieve and comfort those who had passed away.
Aria was grateful for the priests’ words.
Thank you for patiently sharing your warm words.
But no matter what Aria said, she strengthened her resolve.
The trauma never went away.
At best, there was no further progress, with the number of opportunities to use blessings increasing once or twice.
“This is my problem. Haha, you’re disappointed… aren’t you?”
With an awkward smile, Aria looked at Kalt.
Kalt was silent.
He covered his mouth with one hand and looked like he was seriously thinking about something.
‘No matter how kind Mr. Kalt is… You’re worried. ‘Of course.’
Even though she is a candidate for sainthood, she is a nun who cannot even use that much divine power properly.
Aria thought that with such confidence, it was natural to worry about remaining in the party.
But what Kalt thought was completely different from what Arya expected.
‘It’s amazing?’
Rather, Kalt felt like he had chosen the highest grade character in just one draw from a gacha with extreme probability.
It’s a performance character that gets even higher if you sharpen it.
Trauma from childhood?
Disbelief in God?
Such mental problems were not a problem for Kalt at all.
Because Kalt had hypnosis.
If there is a physical defect or problem, it is an area that Kalt cannot touch.
But mentally it is different.
For Kalt, mental problems can be cured immediately even though hypnosis is weak.
Rather, what Kalt is worried about is something else.
The question was how to train Aria.
Arya’s past is definitely sympathetic.
How sad you were when your current parents died of illness.
Aria saw it right in front of her eyes.
Although she could say goodbye, Aria couldn’t even do that.
It’s really pitiful and makes me feel pity.
In particular, I thought I would train Aria gently.
Kalt immediately shook his head in his heart.
‘You can’t do that. Definitely do it. ‘You have to make yourself realize your position.’
I treat him kindly and kindly, but he ruins it in the end.
Kalt realized this the hard way at the Maybelle party.
Let’s just say that Maybelle has all the characteristics of a groupie, a nerd, and a tomboy from the beginning.
But the other two.
Ian and Marti didn’t do that from the beginning.
The two of them were calm and gentle when they had their faults.
These were women who were happy and grateful for my cooking.
They were truly grateful when they felt that their problems were slowly improving through hypnosis under the guise of counseling.
But that was all.
After the problem was completely resolved, his shamelessness began to stand out.
-Why do I have to learn such trivial things? Only then will I learn greater magic. Help with travel? Kalt has already prepared all the little things like that.
-Kalt, how can you be so cruel? He was so kind when he gave me advice… If you go around treating all wounds, annoying guys will stop by… I’m disappointed!
In addition, when Maybelle kicked him out, he did not object and looked down on him from above as if he was doing it out of favor or because he was thinking of Kalt, which was quite shocking.
‘I’ll never see that again.’
What happened that day was a kind of trauma for Kalt as well.
That’s why Kalt thought.
Let’s be kind until the problem is resolved.
When I am at my happiest while licking very sweet honey.
Let us know very thoroughly who gives us that happiness.
Even if you criticize them for rebelling, criticizing, and betraying them in the process.
By that time, I had already known the sweetness.
To taste that sweetness again.
To obtain the happiness I had long-awaited.
I guess I have no choice but to listen to Kalt.
And Kalt just needs to be informed properly.
Who is above and who is below.
When you know your topic thoroughly and accept it.
How much happiness there is.
If you know the subject well, Kalt is worth the price.
It makes you realize that Kalt provides sweet happiness, both mentally and physically.
That’s what Kalt swore when he thought about joining a new party.
So, even if he sympathizes with Aria, he does not change his teaching methods.
If the training is done well, in the end, she will continue to feel happiness, relief, comfort, accomplishment, and pleasure that is nothing compared to the humiliation, shame, pain, and betrayal she feels while receiving the training.
Aria too.
Scarlett too.
Nellis too.
Every single person.
solve the problem
Teaching assistant to understand the topic.
In the end, I will give you happiness that will last forever.
Thinking so, Kalt.
“Mr. Aria.”
He took off his hand covering his mouth and placed it on Aria’s hands, which were gathered together as if praying.
“You are truly amazing.”
“…yes?”
“It must be painful. Even with such problems, Aria is still here now. There would have been a way for her to continue going to church. She came out like this and joined the party to be active.”
“ah….”
Aria’s hands were shaking.
Aria’s eyes focused on Kalt, who was looking at her seriously.
“Even if you were scared, afraid, in pain, even if you doubted God, Aria… you wanted to save people, right? Because you wanted to be of help even just a little bit. You didn’t want someone else to go through the pain you went through. “I hope not.”
I decided to train Aria.
But what I was saying now was not a lie.
“Kalt… Mr.”
Kalt extended his free hand and crossed Aria’s hands.
The warm warmth of Kalt passed through the back of Aria’s hand.
“Thank you for confiding in me. I will do my best to help Aria solve her problem.”
He wasn’t disappointed or reluctant to hear about his problems.
Rather, he is holding his hand, understanding his feelings, and looking straight at himself, promising to solve the problem.
“ah….”
A single tear flowed down Aria’s cheek.
