A young girl in a village without protection

Now that the formalities of the rite of protection have been completed, Zelicina takes Hissui to the Solatique room with her face. To have a future meeting.

(You have the purpose of asking me to look into my protection)

I'm anxious to really know, but now there's only one place I can count on the Great Temple.

Solatique invited Tsericina in and prepared herself some tea.

"Thank you, Master Solatique"

"No. Are we through with the process?

"Yes."

When Tsericina nods, Solatique smiles happily, "Well."

"They're going to have a day of protection ritual tomorrow, so we're taking time the afternoon after tomorrow"

"The afternoon after tomorrow, right? Okay."

(nervous......)

Are you sure you're getting protection, or will the Great Temple know that? Perhaps it is possible to conclude that no protection has been granted.

I think Zelicina is full of games she loves and even things she doesn't know, even though it's about herself.

Solatique moved from the couch across the street to the next because he noticed such a zelicina.

"I'm fine, I may be anxious... but I have one too. Tomorrow, while Tselli is in attendance at the ritual of protection, we will also look into the protection in the library."

"Dear Solatique...... I'm sorry you did so much for me..."

I'm sorry that I'm depriving myself of the precious time of Solatique, Zelicina, but rather the other way around.

"I'm happy because this is how I can be with Tselli. This may not be a good way to put it, but a carriage ride with Tselli is a good thing."

"Lady Solatique never left the royal castle much, either."

"... right"

To Zelicina's words, Solatique nods as he thinks otherwise. I was happy to go away with you, but it didn't seem to convey well.

"Well, there's still a way home."

"Go home, is that it?

"No, it's nothing"

Solatique drank tea and bothered his head wondering how to approach it.

The next day.

It was time for the rite of protection to begin, and Zelicina came between the rites with Anton and Gisele. Behind, Hisui and Odette refrain.

It is on the third floor part of the temple, with no windows and only demonic prop lights lit on the walls.

In front there are statues of God, Goddess and Spirits, spaces for performing rituals. Behind, chairs for participants are arranged.

During the ceremony, about thirty children were gathered, including Gisele. This is the first ritual of the day and children are still waiting after this.

(That's the Great Temple. There are a lot of children from all over the country.)

Seeing it, the children seem to enjoy whether they are happy to gain protection. It's deliberate and loud, but I don't think any of the kids are nervous about its polarization.

Gisele is also holding hands with Anton, but she doesn't seem too nervous.

(... maybe I'm the nervous one!

Dodd, dodd. In an attempt to somehow quell the sounding heart, Zelicina takes a small, deep breath.

Then Leanne and the high tones echoed indoors and the clerics came in. Apparently, the ritual of protection begins.

Auxiliary clerics in blue, red, green and tea coats and blessed witches performing rituals.

"Now the children go forward"

"Yes......!

Reply to the word of the cleric and children go forward together, including Gisele.

Zelicina and Anton drop off in a hurry, "Good luck," he says to Gisele.

There is something called the "Congratulations" that only priests and witches who crown blessings are allowed to have more than just witches.

Words are written here to speak to God and the Spirit, and by chanting they can bring to life the "sign of blessing", a sign of protection.

Zelicina looks at the witch and wonders how it works.

When I was playing the game, I never cared at all because that's the setting. But when it comes to reality, how this world works is often complicated and unclear.

(... but I have no idea what to think)

Again, I think you don't know a lot.

Now I sometimes do as a lord, and I never looked into it because there was no protection for me.

No, is it correct that I looked into the protection but didn't know why there was no protection for Zelicina, etc.

"Master Tselli, it looks like it's about to start."

"Oh, that's true"

Hisui, who came to the side, looks forward and looks intriguingly at the Blessed Witch. A witch with the name of blessing, with the embroidery of the moon on her coat of law, so I guess there is the protection of the moon god Marni.

"I will serve Marni, God of the Moon. I pray to the new Son who lives in this land to have the mark of the gods"

Hear the witch's voice and pose for the clergy to join hands and pray. Seeing it, the children and the participants also pray hand in hand.

May you grant me protection from the gods.

"Pray for the moisture of life in the Great Tree of Blessing with the Spirit of the Water that carries Spring, for strength with the Spirit of the Fire that grows, for kindness and depth of thought with the Spirit of the Wind that gives tranquillity, with the Spirit of the Earth that gives trial"

Reading his congratulations, the witch chants the bell she was holding.

"Give the children the 'Sign of Blessing'"

At the end of the day, when they do so, the bodies of the children who were praying are wrapped in a pale light.

Children with the protection of water spirits turn blue, fire spirits turn red, wind spirits turn green, earth spirits turn brown.

"There are just so many children, that's an amazing light"

"Yeah, really. Gisele is... oh, you're glowing brown"

"Sounds like you had the protection of the earthen spirits."

Tsericina caresses her chest relieved that Gisele was safely protected.

I hear that if he had received protection from the gods, he would be enveloped in colourless light. In the case of Tsericina, not only was there no sign of blessing, but it was sometimes judged to be without protection because it did not glow at all.

As the child returns to the participants, the Zelichinas also welcome Gisele.

"We had the protection of the earthen spirits!

"Don't worry, the ritual is over. Congratulations, Gisele."

"Thank you, Grandpa Anton. Now you can make lots of crops in the village fields!

Gisele seemed to want the protection of earthy spirits strong in earth-related ways to help with the village fields. In that healthy posture, Zelicina gets her chest hot.

(Gisele, such a good girl......!

"Congratulations, Giselle"

"Thank you! For the village of Zerin, I will try harder!

"Yeah, I hope so"

With Gisele with a full smile, Zelicina smiles too.

"Congratulations, Gisele"

"Thank you, Sister Odette!

"Congratulations"

"Thank you!

Odette, who had refrained, also preached the words of celebration, followed by Hisui.

Immediately, a circular will be given to the clergyman to exit the room. We still have children to perform rituals, so I guess we'll have to prepare for the next one, too.

The Zelichinas followed during the ceremony.
