Chapter 319
Girl and fire three.
When Nishi-san went to everybody, they said, “Are you okay?”.
I felt happy when I was worried about it that way. Everyone cares about me – it’s a fact that bothers me.
“Are you okay now?
“Yeah, it’s okay.”
Gaius asked and I said it was okay.
Ask Nishi-san to drop me off and sit on the chair. Gaius and Kayu ask me questions.
“That rain, that’s what Lernda did. Isn’t that amazing? How’d you do that?
“I wonder if that’s the kind of force that controls the weather that I said before. You’re using a lot of magic, aren’t you?
I’ve been talking to the two of you about the power of weather control.
They are looking interesting.
Thinking about how I did it, I prayed to God. Douroën told me I had the protection of God in heaven, so I prayed to God who was watching over me.
Then it rained.
“It rained when I prayed. If I pray with all my heart that I want to put out the fire… it’s raining, so maybe praying is the key. But it’s not like I can do that unconditionally, and it’s like I’m using my magic.”
“But there must be a trigger, right? When I prayed lightly before, the weather didn’t move.”
“Hmm, I wonder if you’re really praying… I was wondering if you would really listen to that prayer when I needed it.”
I don’t know what criteria God is sorting by. It doesn’t fulfill all your wishes. God keeps an eye on me and only helps me sometimes.
Whether I really need it or not – perhaps God will know that.
The place that was burned by the fire is not in its original form, so it needs to be rebuilt again from now on. I wish I could have extinguished the fire before it burned so much… I’m a little depressed.
“What are you depressed about? Be more proud.”
Nishi-san also seemed to understand that she was depressed, and she said so when she slapped her head.
“That’s right. You don’t have to think that Lernda might have stopped the fire sooner.”
“We’re grateful that you put out the fire.”
That’s what everyone said.
Well, there was still something I could do. I think we can put out the fire more quickly. I’ve been thinking about all that.
But it’s not.
Because I am a priest – I think I can do more. But I’m still a kid, and I can’t do so much.
I feel that again.
There are things I can and can’t do.
Mr Lan always tells me a lot of things. In the story, he said that the existence of the prince is used around and is often expected. That’s why he said, “People who take Rheinda as Rheinda are precious, so let’s take care of them.”
― ― Lan’s words haunted my brain.
For now, I have hardly ever encountered anyone who would try to use me like that or have great expectations of me.
But there must be people like that somewhere.
I’m lucky I haven’t run into those people. Run said from the beginning that there were people who wanted to use me. Perhaps one day I will be dealing with such people.
That’s why I think it’s very happy that everyone is purely worried about me.
“Yeah, I did my best.”
–That’s why I accept everyone’s words.
I did what I could. Because people say you can be proud and not be depressed.
I accepted that I had worked hard and laughed.
“But don’t fall next time.”
“I’m worried about falling down.”
People say they’re worried if they fall, so don’t push them anymore.
I don’t have to worry, but if I ever pray to a god like this again, I think about the scope as I was talking to Mr. Lang.
If you still don’t understand my power, that’s why I’ll try to get to know myself better. I’m sure that will help us in the future.
Looking out the window, it still rains outside.
The rain I called in…
The rain continued to rain for some time.
After some time it stopped raining, I went to the altar.
–Thank you, God, for bringing rain in.
–Thank you for keeping an eye on me.
I have been devoting such prayers. I hope that this gratitude will come to God.
And I thought like that to try not to forget this gratitude.
–With the girl, fire three.
