    Episode 90 – The Giving Tree 5 –

    Night fills the sky.

    It was time to go out.

    The professors won’t notice my absence because I’ve already asked the kids to take care of themselves.

    It comes out and regulates the air flow with aura eruption to make no sound.

    Although it was a technique used by assassins, it was very effective.

    Aura eruption is a repulsive force that acts on all things.

    And light is also a particle.

    Therefore, the aura eruption could even interfere with light.

    This means that it is possible to control the behavior of light.

    Interferes with the movement of light through aura eruption.

    The light that reaches me is blocked from going anywhere else.

    I twist the light that will reach forward and make it pass by me.

    Optical camouflage. By applying the principle of this technology, you can deceive others’ vision and hearing.

    Also, since the smell would have been hidden to some extent, the sense of smell could also be fooled.

    We walk through a dreary major forest with the shining white moon as our audience.

    The place I am aiming for is where the Great Spirit of Water lives.

    The spirit is a spiritual body. Since you do not feel physical fatigue, you will definitely be awake because you are not sleeping.

    Just approach that being and ask.

    One more time.

    As I was walking around like that, I felt a sense of déjà vu.

    This technique deceives myself as much as it deceives others.

    If I absorb any sound at random, the sound will deteriorate and I will not be able to hear other people’s sounds.

    If the light is distorted, I also cannot see properly.

    So I was walking around relying on my energy sense, and I caught something strange in that feeling.

    I secretly adjusted my vision and looked at that place.

    A girl came into my eyes.

    The moonlight in the night sky and the hair shining white by the moonlight.

    An image of a woman kneeling, putting her hands together and closing her eyes, as if praying to someone.

    A saint of healing.

    She was praying there.

    ‘I heard you came… I didn’t see it in the women’s bath, so I thought it was something else.’

    Have you been in a place like this?

    The place she was in was truly dreamy.

    Beautiful moonlight and pure white hair reflecting the moonlight.

    The scenery combined with the unrealistic appearance of the saint herself looked truly beautiful.

    However, it was too vague to pass by like a painting.

    The healing saint, who always smiled, was praying without any expression.

    It looked somewhat sad.

    I was curious as to what on earth he was doing, so I unlocked the technique to kill all enemies and approached him.

    The saint sensed that I was popular and found me.

    and…

    “You are shameless… !”

    She sold me out.

    What why what?

    Even though I’ve done everything else, I’ve never done anything related to sex.

    Of course, sexual harassment and rape are less vicious crimes than murder and arson, but anyway.

    “ Looking at your expression, I get the feeling that you don’t understand? It’s not like you don’t know what you did wrong, right?”

    When I gave her a questioning look, she immediately questioned me.

    I had a guess.

    It was because something happened today that could be misunderstood as a pervert.

    “There was, but you weren’t there at the time. Did you see it as foresight?”

    “Of course. I looked into the future and saw you come in. Do I need to show you my naked body?”

    In “?”

    “Blatantly entering the women’s bathhouse. And I saw myself being embarrassed while showing my naked body in front of you… ! How can you not call that shameless?”

    ah.

    I probably only saw the beginning part.

    Certainly, if you just saw that, you could criticize me as shameless.

    Even if it is possible for clergy to marry.

    The importance of premarital chastity is the same here.

    ‘Of course, there are more priests who do not follow the rules.’

    In the first place, I thought it was because the fact that marriage was possible was different from reality.

    But why do you show me your naked body?

    I don’t think anyone was taking their clothes off there.

    There is no way the saint would have taken off her clothes in advance alone.

    ‘Just sleep.’

    You showed your naked body in Yeji?

    “Saint, isn’t the future due to stigmata unconditionally fulfilled?”

    The saint’s prophecy will come true unconditionally.

    Like the prophecies of Greek and Roman mythology, trying to avoid it is often a stepping stone to prophecy.

    That’s why showing her naked body means that she will be naked in front of me someday…

    However, the saint’s mouth opened.

    “I’m not a stigmata that specializes in predicting the future, so you can avoid it if you want. Instead, the viewpoints and such are mixed up and different situations are shown one after another… ”

    “I see.”

    I didn’t know that either.

    But why were you embarrassed?

    If you look at the saintly woman’s personality, she would scream and tell her to go away.

    I think they’ll be angry and despise it.

    Since you said the viewpoints are mixed, are they different viewpoints?

    ‘It’s not something I care about.’

    But that is that and this is this.

    I continued because I had something to rebut.

    “Did you see that properly? I did that because I had something to do there.”

    “No matter how reasonable the reason is, it is a problem because you did something you shouldn’t have done.”

    There are some things you shouldn’t do.

    But no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think what I did was impossible.

    Still, it was fortunate.

    Because the healing saint doesn’t think I’m completely strange.

    “Still, I’m glad that you think of me more favorably than I thought?”

    In “? What is that?”

    “That’s right. If you had to choose between an arsonist and a molester, wouldn’t the molester be better? I can’t believe you look at me kindly. Is this an honor?”

    In “… ah! Phewㅡ”

    The healing saint was stunned for a moment after hearing what I said.

    Eventually, I understood and bit my lip to avoid laughing.

    Why are you laughing?

    I didn’t ask you to smile.

    I guess this is my preference.

    The humor is mature.

    It might be funny, so I just skipped it.

    “So I did it because I had something to do at the time. The saintess showing her naked body was an accident, so let’s just skip it.

    ruler. So, I have a question. What are you doing here?”

    “Before. I was just praying here. The night was bright and my mind was complicated, so I tried to control my mind through prayer.”

    “There was nothing special on the first day, but my mind was complicated. I don’t think it’s because of something that happened during the field experience, but why did you come to the field experience?”

    “It was my first meeting with an elf in a long time, so I came for missionary work.

    It’s true that people misunderstand, but I am a priest. Not a doctor.”

    I didn’t say anything.

    It seems that people around him think he is a doctor.

    Then the healing saint touched her head.

    I frowned slightly as if I had a headache.

    “Why are you doing that?”

    “… I’ve had a lot of hardships during this time. People who try to sexually harass a nun after reading a strange sensual novel somewhere.

    Is the saint lewd? under! We live such a restrained life, but how on earth is the world going? “

    hmm. There seems to be a lot piled up.

    This was probably the reason why he questioned me like that earlier.

    I think the reason I solved it so quickly was because I knew I wasn’t that kind of person.

    “I’m sorry about earlier. There are quite a few people who try to act strangely, wondering what kind of strange thoughts they get when they see ordinary priests… ”

    Listening to the saint’s words, I realized once again that sensual novels have many problems.

    Nuns are also human, so they probably have sexual desires.

    But since I got married, I only resolved it after I got married.

    Because Cheonshinism is based on Christianity, there are no problems with marital affairs.

    That’s why nuns also date and marry well.

    On the contrary, people around me say that because they do not want to masturbate before marriage, some say that it is a stereotype that was created because they became addicted to erotic things after marriage.

    I’ve never experienced that before, so I don’t think much of it.

    “Even if we experience sexual harassment, we just endure it out of respect for God, it doesn’t mean we don’t get angry.

    Just be patient, forgive, and show mercy.”

    “I didn’t do anything wrong to the saint. The women’s bath wasn’t a mistake, and the saint wasn’t there at all.”

    “I’m sorry for repeating that. I thought it would be difficult… It’s harder than I thought. I also want to live a normal life.”

    From what I can see, he wasn’t just annoyed with me like before.

    It seems that he said it was shameless in the sense that it should not be done that way.

    ‘I want to live a normal life more than that.’

    Adulthood is made by the Lord’s choice.

    You can come down if you want.

    But there aren’t many like that.

    Because of the honor of being chosen by the God they believed in.

    Adults hope to become adults.

    ‘Emotions at dawn are scary.’

    I and the healing saint do not have a special relationship.

    At most, we met a few times in the health room.

    However, he is slowly emptying his mind.

    It’s a shame that I found out the truth about Seonghwangcheong.

    If not, I would have been quite shocked.

    “Phew. When will I be able to feel comfortable? The condition of the central parish is very bad.”

    “Then, just take out the sweet water and throw it away. Later, when all the tasks are completed, you can say that you will not become a saint. Do you think everyone will praise you for that alone?”

    ​​

    A sentence that may be impossible. But these words are full of sweet hope.

    To what extent did my heart relax due to comfort that was not my comfort?

    The healing saint smiled charmingly and expressed her gratitude.

    “Hahaha. If you’re trying to comfort me, thank you. I guess there was a lot that had accumulated without me knowing.”

    People show different ways when they are nervous than when they are nervous.

    He must have been very angry.

    “I feel a bit relieved. I had no one to share this with.”

    “Am I an exception?”

    “Just looking at you makes me feel that the people around me are noble people.”

    “Why do you say that you see me as a strange person in such a beautiful way?”

    “You won’t get hurt, right? It’s just because it’s fun to see Abraxas. Of course, I’m not saying that’s right… ”

    The saint appears to have been a saint.

    Even though he is still immature, his eyes for seeing people are accurate.

    To begin with, I don’t really care whether anyone sees me as a crazy person or not.

    Even if it’s just me, I don’t have the confidence to not treat that damn bastard wearing a ballet uniform before an exchange like an asshole.

    If that was going to be the case, I wouldn’t have put on a pad lip on the first day of the academy.

    “So, Abrax, why did you come here? Stalking?”

    “He told me not to think strange things about priests. Isn’t it strange to assume a situation that only appears in such sensual novels?”

    “It’s a joke. It might be better to be accused of being a stalker anyway, right? If you look at the atmosphere.”

    The saint then looked at my attire.

    Maybe it’s a metaphor that whatever I’m trying to do is worse than stalking.

    Actually, what I was trying to do in Abenheim was more than stalking a saint, not less.

    “Then I’ll take it as stalking.”

    “Oh my? Are you willing to admit it? or not… Aha.”

    The saint seemed to realize something.

    This is an implicit request.

    If I get into trouble, I ask that you tell me that I was stalking you.

    The healing saint smiled weakly and answered.

    “I don’t hate you. In the end, the Church of Evil God collapsed. It’s all thanks to you. Abraxas is also the hero of the Holy Emperor.”

    “Then why did you say it was shameless?”

    “Because a mistake is a mistake.”

    That I don’t hate it.

    In the end, it means that my request will be granted.

    The saint did not ask.

    Her foresight cannot accurately predict the future, and time is a mess, so I don’t know what I will do.

    So I was wondering why I believed it, but I just realized it.

    I am a human who defeated the Evil God Church.

    That alone was reason enough for her not to hate me.

    “See you next time then. I’ll go in now.”

    “Yes. Holy woman. Then, let’s talk again next time we get a chance.”

    The saint and I became distant once again.

    The moonlight was still bright.

    My job remained the same.

    I don’t know what ending we will face in this land.

    I decided to go first.

    ========

    It races across the night sky across the ground.

    Time was wasted, but the night was long. I had a lot of time given to me.

    6 o’clock. If you arrive at your accommodation before then, you will be able to somehow make up for it.

    If you can’t decide, ask Alice and she will take care of it.

    ‘It’s nice that I don’t have to worry about finding where it is.’

    Since there were no external threats, the design was done intuitively and very well.

    Even an outsider could see exactly what that meant.

    The guardian of the World Tree is a being who can be argued as the strongest at the moment.

    This land, where such a being is determined to isolate itself, boasts tremendous defensive power.

    Although it is difficult to penetrate, the terrain takes full advantage of the home ground advantage.

    Powerful spirits and elf archery.

    And even if you break through everything, you will eventually meet the guardian of the World Tree.

    External threats are completely stabilized.

    Since it is possible to be self-sufficient in all types of food, people are free to do their own thing.

    The reason beta is not strong is based on this reason.

    I don’t know why, but elves don’t reject humans.

    But the reason why the elf doesn’t go out is probably…

    It’s probably because the guardian doesn’t want to go outside.

    ‘Why on earth is that like that?’

    You’ll find out someday.

    With that in mind, I headed towards a huge building that looked like it was inhabited by a water spirit.

    Knock knock

    Knock on the door slowly.

    Not long after, the door opens.

    “What’s going on?”

    What emerged was a woman whose body hair seemed to have been replaced with slime.

    Behind them, numerous translucent blue creatures were moving around busily.

    “Are you the Great Spirit of Water?”

    “Yes. That’s right… Uh human?”

    It had been a very long time since she had seen a human.

    He showed a happy expression.

    “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a human. So what brings you here at this time of night?”

    “Because I am a student, my movements are restricted, so I only came at night. Because spirits don’t sleep.”

    “I see. So can you tell me what the business is?”

    I immediately explained to her what I wanted to say.

    What have I been through? Why did you come here?

    And about my ghost sword technique.

    I did not mention what happened with the Great Spirit of Fire because the Great Spirit of Fire might have deceived me.

    Fortunately, the Great Spirit of Water did not show a different reaction from the Great Spirit of Fire.

    “The technology is… This is a technology I don’t know much about. but… I have an answer for you.”

    Although I was disappointed in her answer.

    Fortunately, she explained what she knew.

    “The being you met is the Spirit King of Water. Because it is a being that embodies water itself, it exists only in the form of waves without any form.”

    “Is it because the water is transparent?”

    “Yes.”

    The Spirit King of Water.

    The Spirit King knew about ghost sword techniques.

    The place I went to learn ghost sword techniques was the lake where the Water Spirit King was located.

    Therefore, it also meant that there was no one other than the Spirit King or a very small number of Great Spirits who would know this technology.

    I asked the Great Spirit of Water.

    “Then are there any other beings who would know this technology?”

    “I guess the technique called Ghost Swordsmanship you mentioned… It seems like a very old technology. So much so that only the spirit kings know.”

    “Really? Even the great spirits don’t know?”

    “I am the oldest Great Spirit in existence. If I’m completely lost, the other Great Spirits won’t be that different either.”

    First of all, seeing as I didn’t recognize the Great Spirit of Fire when I first saw him.

    What she said seemed to be true.

    “Do you have any guesses? Even though you may not know what it is. You might know what that is like.”

    You may not know what kind of sword it is.

    However, the craftsman is sufficiently able to recognize that it is a sword.

    So, she might be able to figure out something in this technology.

    Fortunately, she opened her mouth to guess something.

    “What is certain is… This technology was developed for humans.”

    “For humans?”

    It is clearly a spirit technique.

    But technology developed for humans?

    “To be exact, human. Or elves, etc. It seems to have been developed on the premise that other intelligent life forms can learn.

    Spirits are spiritual beings. Spirits who are already spiritual beings do not need to learn these skills.”

    That’s true.

    Feeling the spirit by interfering with the soul and body and distancing the two.

    Conversely, it also means that a spirit that is already a spirit can use it without anything special.

    Even being able to learn Auror Awakening, which is the greatest effect, has no meaning to spirits.

    Although I can understand it.

    Because there is no body, there is no auror, so there is no meaning.

    In other words, it is clear that this technology was created on the premise that other intelligent life forms would learn it.

    ‘What on earth is it?’

    The more I learned, the more my doubts grew.

    Why did the Water Spirit King tell me to go here?

    Why did a spirit learn this skill?

    And what do I gain by learning this skill?

    Is it related to the branches of the World Tree?

    And who created this technology?

    ‘It’s full of questions.’

    But the Water Spirit King spoke clearly.

    If you go here, you’ll get the answer.

    The secret of ghost swordsmanship.

    And he said that he could obtain all the opportunity to create a solvent body.

    “Then can you tell me?”

    So it would be right to move on.

    “How do I meet the Spirit Kings?”

    Meet the Spirit King and hear the whole truth.

    That was my next goal.

    “Unfortunately, none of the Spirit Kings are in Abenheim.”

    And I couldn’t help but lose my composure at what the Great Spirit of Water said.

    “What?”

    No, no one knows this technique except the Spirit King.

    Then why did you ask me to come here?
