NOVEL NEXT Chapter 71
Cleric, the journey begins.
I, Ilum, have decided to embark on a journey to find the real Divine Son. I was able to see the Divine Son in the temple. Nevertheless, I don’t know anything else special. I must somehow meet the girl who is Alice’s sister, who will be the Divine Son. How should I move first for that?
A child loved by God, who supposedly does not die more easily. Yes, I do. He said it should be. But —… I can’t be relieved that God’s child is safe. I need to see the Divine Son soon. I want to take action for the Divine Son. Not for anyone else, not for the Divine Son.
– I’m the one who’s set to embark on a journey to find the Divine Son, but not alone. To find the Divine Son, though, we can’t make it public that the real Divine Son is actually not in the Great Temple. There is also a small number of troops that cannot be prepared to go looking for the Divine Son.
Including me, there are about five members organized to look for the Divine Son. I have anxiety about whether it will be okay in this small number, but I still have to do it. To the Divine Son, we must meet. No, I want to see the Divine Son.
He was a temple knight, a female cleric, a samurai, and a magical swordsman that the temple was employing.
… There are three women. And only me and the knight are men. There are endless questions about how to take you on a journey that may be dangerous, a journey that you don’t know what will happen or where you will go. I still feel safer to take a man than a woman on a dangerous journey… But Master Jint and the Great Temple said they had no problems with this member.
Truly, if you think of the existence of a godson, it is best to put the will of the godson first, but I do not know what will is working with regard to the members who go out looking for the godson together. I wanted to be the first to come into contact with the girl who was considered a godson and to be able to confirm that will first. If only I could make contact first, I could pretend not to see it as it is, unless the will of the Divine Son is to come to the Great Shrine…. you have to think about it by the time you see the Divine Son.
Even if I want to respect the will of the Divine Son, it is possible that these people will ignore the will of the Divine Son and take me to the Great Temple.
“First, what do you do? Dear Ilum.”
A still young woman who was to follow me as a samurai looked up and asked about me. The women I was supposed to take with me are surprisingly young and bright looking. So much so that I thought I might have chosen that as a criterion. Though I don’t think that’s the case with boulders… but so much so that I suspect it isn’t.
… There is also the possibility that the Divine Son went to the neighboring kingdom of Migga, but Master Jint said it would be unlikely. I think so, too. If the Divine Son had entered the Kingdom of Migga, the Kingdom of Migga would have criticized the Great Temple of the Fairytroff Kingdom for listing a false Divine Son.
That means that there is no — …, the Divine Son has not visited the Kingdom of Migga. Maybe it means that the Divine Son doesn’t notice while in the Kingdom of Migga…… I think it’s unlikely.
If the Divine Son lived in the Kingdom of Migga, there would be some influence in the Kingdom of Migga, and he would be able to receive a divine commission. The fact that we do not see such a change means that the Divine Son has not visited the Kingdom of Migga. Then where have you been? – It would be a good idea to consider it a place that is neither the Fairytroff Kingdom nor the Migga Kingdom. Given the location of the village where that Divine Son grew up, it seems to me that the forest extending south of the border between the Kingdom of Fairytrov and the Kingdom of Migga is probably the place where the Divine Son headed the most.
Nevertheless, this is just what I’m thinking. I don’t know if it really is.
“I wonder if the Divine Son went into the woods”
“Into the woods?
My eyes turned to my surprise.
The female cleric utters words against me.
“Is the Divine Son a girl the same age as Alice? Then I don’t think we’ll ever go into a dangerous forest or anything. There’s no way a young girl can live in the woods, and if she was in the woods, wouldn’t that mean that the divine child is already dead? Are you a cleric and you want that? It is only natural to serve the temple to consider the possibility of living and seeing you more than the possibility that the Divine Son is dead.”
The female cleric says that, but honestly I felt that I could see more clearly than thinking about the Divine Son than I wanted to go into the woods myself.
“… is that right? Let’s start by heading to the village where Shinko was.”
The female clergyman seemed to have a desire not to go into the woods, even willingly. If so… I wanted to go into the woods just to get to the divine son…. No, that’s the worst case scenario. You can return the female cleric to the Great Temple and follow the Divine Son into the woods with the other members. We need to persuade the other members to do it that way. First, we go to the village where the Divine Son is. In the meantime, let’s try to persuade the members.
Because I don’t think so, although there is no certainty that the Divine Son has gone into the woods.
– Cleric, the journey begins.
(The clergyman begins his journey. Clerics who want to go into the woods and members who don’t want to go in. But the clergyman has a stronger feeling that the Divine Son may have gone into the forest)
