30. Inauguration Ceremony and Coming-of-age Ceremony (2)
“I-I’m not like that-!”
“… Taste? What taste?”
Elijah seriously questioned my nonsense that I inadvertently spat out.
“What does smelling feet have to do with taste?”
“That… !”
She bit her lip while trying to defend Elijah, who casually blasphemed the world of taste, which should be respected by all mankind and treated as a personal sanctuary.
‘If I defend this, it’s as if I’m just like that, isn’t it?’
In the first place, I….
… No That’s not the point.
“Or did you mean that the smell of my feet didn’t match your olfactory tastes?”
“No, no, that’s not it…. The smell of the lady’s feet… I wasn’t in charge… It meant….”
Elijah tilted her head.
Then she seemed to wonder why she was putting her nose in her foot.
She was dizzy from her point of view, which is not the real thing.
‘Why did the quest reward come at that timing… !’
Of course, it wasn’t my fault that she immediately confirmed on the spot, but she decided not to care.
“Yeah, what….”
If that’s you, then that’s probably it.
That was Elijah’s reaction.
She has no interest in s*xuality, and she has no understanding at all.
Thanks to that, she was able to get over it without thinking.
But why does she feel embarrassed and a bit miserable….
“Whatever it is, sit back now. It’s not over yet.”
Only then did I listen to my surroundings.
People were taken aback by my sudden action.
Why do I realize again at a moment like this that there are so many customers at this coming-of-age ceremony?
The eyes looking at each other are unusual.
Among them, her Balak and Lia are a bit scary.
‘I want to hide, but there is no hole or shade….’
It’s a situation where you can’t hide anyway.
I sat down on one knee again, tight-lipped and averting my gaze.
Elijah stands up.
Raises her ceremonial sword.
An ornate sword descends slowly over her head.
All the shame I felt until now and the in-depth consideration of my taste have completely disappeared.
‘Elijah….’
The image of Elijah blowing fire on me.
‘What about that scene… what was….’
The sword moves.
In turn, from her left shoulder to her right shoulder, then the top of her head.
“I swear under the light of the sun god. I, Elijah, will accept your loyalty and her life.”
Elijah’s soft voice echoed through the temple.
“I will serve you with honor.”
I answered like a machine.
After that, the rest of the ceremony passed quickly.
I don’t know how it went.
My head was all messed up.
Elijah blowing the fire.
Not anywhere else, but clearly directed at me.
It doesn’t even look like a mistake.
I felt an obvious murderous intent.
‘Second tragedy….’
The scene shown as a tragedy this time is different from the last time.
In other words, the tragedy shown last time was avoided.
‘Since nothing has happened yet, it can be judged that way… ?’
So I believe this tragedy is the same.
If you want to avoid it, you can avoid it.
Don’t worry too much.
‘Fortunately, there are more clues than last time.’
This time Elijah’s expression was revealed.
A face distorted as if angry, yet crying.
Does it mean that I did something wrong?
‘A mistake that would make Elijah so angry…. I just don’t know.’
Anyway, I made up my mind to be more careful in the future.
I don’t know if I can be more careful than this.
After making up my mind, I checked the next reward.
A short story in a comedy.
This is more informative than a tragedy.
That’s because it’s not a sentence, but a ‘paragraph’.
The beginning is the same as telling a tragedy.
First, a scene is delivered.
As a puzzle comes together, the picture is completed one by one.
I see a person lying on the bed.
It’s me.
It does not show which space it is.
The only scene that shines is me lying on the bed.
A bandage is wrapped around the body.
As if seriously injured.
It looks like he’s seriously injured, but his complexion isn’t bad.
That’s the end of the scene.
After that, a brief description of the scene, which is different from the tragedy, comes to mind.
[The Comedy of Elijah.]
‘… Not my comedy, Elijah’s?’
This is the first time this has happened.
It usually shows good things or bad things from the standards of the person who sees the future.
However, this future showed the comedy of Elijah, not me.
‘I don’t know what happened….’
It can be connected to previous tragedies.
Elijah who threw fire at me.
And then I collapsed with a serious injury.
Description of Elijah’s Comedy.
‘It means that if I get hurt, it will be good for Elijah…. The sun that has to kill the moon.’
If it is more difficult than the last tragedy, it is difficult, and if it is easy, it is easy.
It’s difficult because I have to avoid a situation where Elijah killing me is a comedy.
The easy reason is that at least this tragedy can infer a causal relationship.
Elijah with an angry expression.
‘I’ll have to be as careful as possible in whatever I do in the future….’
*
After the ordination ceremony, Elijah’s coming-of-age ceremony began in earnest.
During her coming-of-age ceremony, I stayed by Elijah’s side.
It was what I had to do as an escort knight.
Speaking of coming-of-age, it’s just her 18th birthday.
A very luxurious birthday party held at the Temple of the Sun.
‘Elijah seems to be in a bad mood on her birthday.’
Well, it deserves it.
Because on her birthday, you have to see the faces of her family who despise her.
Indirectly, I learned how Elijah is treated by her family.
It must have been more difficult in the days when the power of wizards was weak.
In the wide space under the throne, the pope of the Church of the Moon was reciting a congratulatory speech.
‘My name was probably Nadab.’
A person who did not exist in the future I knew.
Nadab, the pope of the Lunatic Religion.
To be precise, the religion itself called Moonshinkyo has disappeared.
‘They said it was ruined by the Bebel family.’
At the time, Elijah was the only member of the Bebel family.
Everyone else is dead.
Right, by the hand of Elijah.
So, when did Elijah annihilate her own family?
Wolsingyo was destroyed by the Bebel family?
Will the two incidents go on as they were here, where I intervened?
‘This is a very important issue….’
I saw Elijah.
She sits on a throne and looks down at the banquet hall.
If you look at it slightly from behind, you can see that the cheeks are round.
‘Hmm. Cute.’
I can’t recall at all how they threw fire at me.
Elijah, who was bored watching the coming-of-age ceremony, raised her head.
She met with red eyes.
Soon after, she smiled softly.
Whenever I see her face to face, she always does.
A relaxed laugh.
No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think this Elijah will kill me.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Do you have something to say?”
Elijah whispered to her.
Why are you looking at me like that….
‘… I know.’
I just….
“… No.”
The pope’s congratulatory speech ended before he knew it.
Now is the time to talk and exchange freely.
Several figures approached Elijah to congratulate him.
Elijah listened intently and indifferently received their greetings.
In the meantime, a woman stood in front of Elijah.
Blonde hair in fine braids.
Eyes the same color as Elijah.
“It’s been a while. Elijah.”
The woman said with a bright smile.
“Was that the last time I saw you at the last trial?”
Elijah also laughed and answered.
“Doesn’t it matter? No matter when you see it or how many times, it’s the same as being unpleasant to each other.”
Even with the blatant sarcasm, the opponent’s expression did not change.
Keep a smile on your face.
“I regret the misunderstanding regarding your mother. But Elijah, why don’t you set her mother free? It will be difficult if it continues like this.”
“Jezebel sister. She still hasn’t learned to read all the letters.”
“… Huh?”
“Let me introduce you to a good grammar teacher. Read the verdict after awakening the letters. All the answers her sister wants are written there.”
“… ….”
“Ah, by the time my sister learns her letters, the Duchess might have died of natural causes from old age.”
The expression of the other woman, Jezebel, was no longer calm.
She glared at Elijah with her hard face.
It’s bloody.
In front of him, Elijah smiles calmly.
‘I’m scared….’
Elijah is always calm.
As an analogy, it should be said that she is like a cat who is bothered by everything.
However, when it comes to things related to her family, she sets herself up.
Her face is as calm as usual, and she smiles leisurely.
But the words he spits out are studded with thorns.
“Elijah…. Are you really going to keep doing this? You even received compensation as a result of the trial. Can’t you at least have the mercy of treating her mother like her own person?”
“Sister. The guests are waiting behind you. When you’re done talking, get out of the way.”
“You…. Are you confident enough to handle it?”
She asked, Jezebel clenching her fists.
Elijah looked up at her blankly at her.
She tilts her head slightly as if wondering, and just smiles.
“What, what is it… ?”
Jezebel asked back as if it was absurd, but Elijah did not answer.
She just waved her hand away as if to drive away her flying flies.
“Come out now. Because you are busy.”
“… You’ll regret it.”
Yes or no, Elijah was greeted by the other guests.
No other siblings of Elijah came up after Jezebel.
I identified five people spread throughout the banquet hall.
‘Cain, Levi, Jezebel, Achan, Sarah.’
I memorized them all thanks to participating in Elijah’s birthday party for 5 years.
‘Perhaps the closest and biggest threat to Elijah right now. Including Ballack.’
The greetings are over.
Next was the delivery ceremony for her birthday present.
A problem occurred.
‘I didn’t bring a present this time… ?’
For the past five years, I have always given gifts.
As much as I can afford.
Single-digit flowers, cheap gemstone bracelets, plain headbands. Stuff like that.
Elijah always accepted with a smile.
Even though she has things that don’t fit her status at all.
I’m still wearing the bracelet and headband I gave you back then.
Unlike the scarves and cat dolls that I always pack, there are times when I take care of the rest of the presents and other times I don’t.
‘Well, though I use it often.’
Anyway, that’s not what’s important.
I forgot my birthday present while waiting for the swearing-in ceremony after the last exam.
‘What should I do….’
Today’s heroine, Elijah, changes her clothes at regular intervals. Her
Her Just as she was going to change, she followed her and said cautiously.
“I, lady…. Unfortunately, I couldn’t prepare a gift this time….”
Standing at the door of the dressing room, Elijah looked up at me.
She has an expressionless face.
Is she mad?
“You don’t have to.”
Contrary to my concerns, Elijah was very calm.
“It’s a luxury to ask for anything more from the person who brought you the sun table.”
Um. The sun statue held up is worth it.
“And.”
And what?
“You became my escort driver. That’s it. I don’t need the rest.”
“… ….”
“Wait a little bit. I’ll be out soon.”
From noble mtl dot com
Elijah entered the dressing room.
Tak, the door is closed.
I stood still in front of him.
Every time I hear these words these days, it’s hard to be sober.
Her hair is dizzy.
“Whoa….”
As I let out a deep sigh, someone stomped in front of me.
***
Jezebel gulped down the wine.
Sweet sake heats up the inside.
Even so, the heat inside did not subside.
‘I’m annoyed….’
I watched Balak in the distance.
Beside her were Cain, her eldest son, and Levi, her second son.
I was in the process of greeting the nobles who were visiting Balak.
In fact, she should consider that the possibility of becoming the next head of household is gone.
Furthermore, all the secret agents sent to Elijah were killed, and the sun statue was not even seen.
‘Nothing works….’
In the meantime, he was openly ignored by Elijah.
She said she would regret it, but in reality she didn’t know what to do to make Elijah regret it.
A sorcerer called the Second Coming of the Age of Myth.
The escort knight next to him is also unusual.
‘How can I get rid of my mother….’
Drinking her second drink, she glanced around.
‘… Where did Sarah go?’
Sarah, her youngest child, was nowhere to be seen.
Although Elijah is the youngest, now Belle does not see Elijah as her brother.
So, to her, her only youngest child is Sarah.
‘It looked like he was glaring at Elijah…. Wouldn’t it be an accident?’
And that time.
Sarah was looking at an unrealistic spectacle.
A picture of her own escort knight being captured by Judas and flying through the air.
“Oh….”
