by fnovelpiaSnap. Snap. Revan’s feet felt like walking through puddles on a rainy day.
“······.”
One step at a time. Revan advanced slowly and steadily. To the girl in front, no, to the god who blessed him.
Revan recalled his conversation with Sylvia earlier.
“Nice to meet you.”
God is not some kind of thought form. Their way of thinking is not much different from that of the human race. No, rather than being described as a human race that includes elves, they were very human-like.
So Revan began their first meeting by bowing his head and saying hello. With courtesy and politeness.
“······Wow.”
“Yes?”
However, the girl who looked like Sonia as a child did not give a proper answer.
Revan walked without stopping and finally bent his knees and was at eye level with the girl. Their eyes met.
“Let me introduce it again. My name is Revan. Is it really you who gave me a blessing when I was poisoned and dying from the cold?”
“···Yes.”
The girl nodded with a quiet voice.
“Well, then why are you here?”
As I got closer, I was able to understand what the girl was saying. Although there was a bit of trembling, it wasn’t very slurred or anything.
“I… Hmm?”
Just as he was about to tell Sylvia about the details of his transaction, Revan felt something foreign in his inner pocket.
Revan reached into his coat towards that foreign object. In Revan’s free hand, he held a brightly shining crystal.
“Ah, ah? That?!”
It was an object in the shape of a crystal that I received from Lysion. The girl was surprised and pointed.
The color of the crystal in Revan’s hand was different from before. As if imitating a dense elven forest, the green color that was refreshing and exuded energy of life disappeared, replaced by a slightly dark gray color.
“Uh, how did you get it?”
“That is.”
The surprised girl’s eyes looked alternately at Revan and the crystal.
I could feel the small greed in those eyes. Revan felt memories of his childhood when he was in love with Sonia.
“Maybe it’s for you.”
Revan recalled Sylvia’s actions. A series of processes in which he manipulated the mana around him by squeezing his holy relic, the crystal.
Just as the color of Sylvia’s eyes and the green crystal were the same, the color of the girl’s eyes and the gray crystal were also the same.
“What, what…?”
The girl approached Revan, who was bent on one knee, and tapped the crystal with her finger.
“How can I do this… I am sure there is no sacred object of mine on earth…”
The girl could not take her eyes off the crystal, but continued to reason rationally that something like this could not happen. Revan responded with gratitude toward Sylvia.
“Silvia seems to have worked hard.”
“···Huh? What are you talking about? Why Sylvia?”
Revan summarized and explained what happened today. Crystal received from Lysion. Interview with Sylvia. And now.
“That means…”
“Yes.”
“You are asking that person to take Silvia’s sacred relic and exchange it for my sacred relic and offer it to me…?”
The girl asked in a trembling voice. Revan nodded coolly.
“Yes.”
“Mi, are you crazy?!”
The girl, who had been weak in response to his cool answer without hesitation, ran up to her, grabbed her by the collar, and shook her. The force wasn’t strong, so the wind I felt along with my shaking head was very cool.
***
“I’m sorry.”
The girl who had been waving Revan’s collar like a maracas just now hesitated and apologized to Revan.
“It’s okay.”
Revan answered, tidying up the swaying hair. It was clear to him that Sylvia had granted an unreasonable request.
“Oh, what should I do.”
“What do you mean?”
The girl’s mouth trembled as she held the gray crystal tightly while pounding Revan.
“Yes, I heard that the original purpose was to fill the crack in your heart?”
“Yes.”
“Well, then you should have left it to Sylvia!”
“···Can’t God do this?”
“That, that…”
Evil evil – The girl who had been shuffling her feet opened her mouth in a cautious manner.
“Me, I have never had this much faith. So I don’t know what kind of power I can give.”
“Didn’t you give me, who was dying, the power of regeneration and detoxification?”
“Well, at that time, I poured out all the faith I had saved up…”
“How much faith does the sacred relic I gave you now translate into faith?”
“Uh, um···.”
One, two, three. The girl in front extended three fingers to Revan.
“About three times…?”
“Then it’s simple.”
match! Revan clapped his palms together and clapped energetically.
“ Doesn’t triple your faith mean that God can give you three times greater power?”
“Well, it’s not that simple!”
Wow! The girl in front seemed to have done her best and opened her mouth wide and shouted.
“Core regeneration is an area where the gods who control life can exercise most efficiently!”
“Do each god have a specialty?”
“Of course! Even gods are similar to humans! And Sylvia is an authority on this subject! You should have just asked Sylvia!”
Grinning. The girl, who was not at all threatening due to her small stature, took a deep breath as if she were out of breath.
‘I think it’s correct that it’s spherical.’
Sylvia. The name of the World Tree was called without any hesitation.
Based on that action and Sylvia’s reaction, Revan guessed. He said his guess that the two knew each other was correct.
However, whether or not she knew what Revan was thinking, the girl in front held out the crystal she held dearly in her hand towards Revan.
“Oh, it’s probably not too late. Go back to Sylvia right now. And just, just pray!”
“How do you mean it?”
“I don’t know! Whether it’s getting down on your knees and rubbing your palms together or flattering, pray somehow! And ask me to fix your cracks!”
It was such a childish argument that it was hard to believe it was a conversation between one god and his only believer.
But Revan’s resolve only hardened. Revan, who had become more determined during the short conversation, shook his head.
“I don’t like it.”
“What, what?”
“Well, first of all, I don’t know how to get back to Sylvia.”
Toouk. Revan pushed the crystal held out to him with his palm.
“A believer offering offerings to another god. Did you see it?”
“Uh, huh?”
Revan recalled a memory from his childhood. The name that robed priests use to refer to the god they believe in.
“Mother.”
“······!”
“My lost son would like to repay you for the kindness he has received from you.”
Woe! The gray crystal held in the girl’s hand began to shine more and more, and began to turn into energy, just as Sylvia had shown.
“In that sense, I offer this sacred object to you.”
“ugh-”
Saaagh – The energies that had been scattered in the air began to approach the girl, as if they had found their home.
“Your son will pray.”
The energies that had found their direction no longer hesitated. Naturally, it was absorbed into the body of its master, filling the empty treasure trove of faith.
“Please regain your spirit.”
“——-!”
As soon as Revan finished praying, light began to emanate from the body of the girl in front of him.
In the process, a sound I had never heard before filled the space.
If I were to compare it to Revan’s impression, it felt like putting oil into a machine that had not been running for a long time. It looks like it is trying to find its past while making a creaking sound.
And finally, the girl’s energy began to fly here and there like dandelion seeds fluttering in the wind. Coloring each empty space one by one.
Finally, colors and shapes began to be drawn in a space that had been filled with only darkness.
“···Umm.”
It was a different sight from the green forest that Sylvia showed. Warm warmth. Mild colors that do not strain the eyes. In the middle of the embroidered image, the girl opened her eyes.
“···Hahaha.”
The girl was breathing heavily. He was the first person to receive it and was a direct believer. This is a faith that is converted into a holy relic and is not small even by the standards of other gods.
Revan felt a presence in front of him that he had not felt before. Although it is still embarrassing to compare with Sylvia, I could feel a clear divine power and presence.
Revan quietly walked in front of him, knelt down on one knee, and bowed his head solemnly. And asked in a calm voice.
“Mother.”
“······.”
“What is your name? Could you please let me know?”
The girl in front of me no longer trembled. Although it was a little awkward, he began to walk in front of Revan with a confident gait that was free from worry and fear.
Even though he lowered his head, his presence was not hidden. Finally, the sensation was felt right above Revan’s head. A weighty voice leaked from the top of Revan’s head.
“···My divine name is Adora.”
Adora, who shouted her own name, lowered her head and brushed the back of Revan’s hand.
As the palm filled with faith passed, the pattern on the back of Revan’s hand glowed. Unlike in the past when they just shined brightly, they are gray like Adora’s eyes.
“I will give the child who gave me back my name the strength to get what he wants…”
Kuuk. Adora’s hand clenched tightly for a moment. It was as if he felt a sense of discomfort at the words he uttered for the first time.
But there was no further hesitation. own believer. What mother would want to show herself weak in front of her son? Adora regained her will and opened her mouth.
“God of lovingkindness. Adora.”
