A young girl in a village without protection

The Great Temple at the heart of the world.

It is said that the identity of the temple chief at its apex is equal to or above that of kings of nations.

There are two reasons. Because it is a place with the Great Temple and what many of the priests and witches there receive blessings from the gods.

From among its priests, the temple chief says the one with the strongest protection has been chosen.

I'm supposed to meet with someone like that now.

The room that was put through is the reception room on the third floor of the temple.

Zelicina and Solatique sit next to each other, with Wilfred and Emilio the Civilian, near Hissui and Solatique, holding back behind.

(... nervous)

Put your mouth on the prepared tea and you'll be anxious to see what happens to Zelicina.

What I want to make sure is what the hell kind of protection I have. But can the temple side look into it?

It is true that a sign of blessing appeared in Zelicina's left eye, but now there is no sign of anything. If you're lying, you can't help but think so.

"Tselli, don't worry. I'm on it."

"Dear Solatique...... Thank you. It's very comforting."

Soratique briefly explains the steps with a tender grin at the nervous Tsericina.

"The mark that appeared on my left eye is on paper, so I'll have a look at it first. After that, I'm going to ask the temple chief to see if Tseri has any protection."

"Yes."

Since this is what we were discussing beforehand, Zelicina has no objection either.

(I hope you at least know what the hell you're covering for, even if you don't conclude that I have protection)

With that in mind, a knock sounds in the room.

When Solatique nods, Hisui responds immediately.

"Sorry, you kept me waiting"

When they see the person who came in, Zelichina and the others stand up from the couch.

"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule. I am Solatique Lili Alvarado, the first prince of the Kingdom of Alvarado."

"It's Tsericina Linkrat."

The temple chief gave a fluffy grin and sat on the couch.

"I am the head of the temple, LUCARIA EARTHGALS. I am delighted to see you both by the guidance of the gods."

LUCARIA EARTHGALS, head of the temple in this world.

A little above Tsericina in the years, she is blinded by her face, which is as neat as a doll.

Sara's blonde hair, down to her shoulders, flushes forward together with tied strings, and a sign of blessing peeks from her forehead, which is divided in the middle.

White based hat and coat. The coat has a long hem and the gold embroidery and misaligned black make him look more majestic.

Lucaria smiling would be exactly what she deserves to call a saint.

"Today, we hear of your consultation on the protection of the gods. I'm sorry to be so quick, but can I ask you for details?

"Absolutely."

Nodding at the words of Lucaria, Solatique will explain what he has done in the village of Zerin.

The fact that the black flowers blossomed in the great tree by the person obtaining the protection of the abundant god Frey, were transformed by Zelicina into white flowers.

And in doing so, the fact that usually Rose Pink's left eye changed color to Baby Pink and a sign of blessing appeared in those eyes.

"This is a copy of the mark."

"We'll see."

Solatique receives it from Emilio and passes the stamped paper to Lucaria.

I've looked into the record of this mark so far, but the country, of course, could not find it in the library of the Great Temple.

If there were any other clues, it would be about a priest with status.

Does Lucaria, who is still looking at the copy, know this mark?

(... I didn't say I saw a choice)

Exactly, I couldn't tell you that I had the power to change my destiny.

I don't know what the temple will do, because I don't know who I'm talking to. Worst of all, it is possible that they will try to exploit the power of Zelicina.

Zelicina stares as she explores what Lucaria looks like.

Then I have eyes on Lucaria, who raised her gaze on the lid.

"... eh"

All of a sudden, I'm surprised I managed to raise my voice. I didn't think you'd see yourself.

When she saw how Zelicina had reacted, Lucaria grinned and said, "We won't take it and eat it, will we?," he says.

"In conclusion, I am also the first to see this mark"

"Really..."

I don't get the answer I want, and Solatique drops my shoulder.

"There are many gods in this world, so there are enough if no one has ever had protection yet. You know that well, don't you, Your Highness?

"Yeah, of course. Because there are only so many humans in Alvarado who have been granted protection from the gods."

"Exactly. So you don't have to worry if you don't know."

Lucaria rises and slowly moves to the side of Zelicina. And like doing escorts, I've reached out.

"Show me the protection that Master Tsericina is bestowing on me"

"My blessing…?

"Yes. Such a young creation, but because I am the temple chief. I can feel it with or without protection and its size."

Lucaria laughs at her grandfather when she says she doesn't do anything scary.

(Temple chief can do that too... wow)

Since the purpose could be heard, Zelicina takes Lucaria's hand and rises off the couch.

Lucaria's hands are meticulous and beautiful even to her fingertips.

When that hand touches both hands of Zelicina, Lucaria's golden eyes stare at Zelicina. From the top of my head, to the tip of my foot.

(... thrilled)

"No protection, etc... The temple that made such a decision must apologize to you."

"Huh?"

Zelicina looks up all the time to Lucaria's voice, which was quietly told. You have to make an apology, which means that the Temple side was wrong in its judgment.

"Dear Tsericina,"

"Yes, sir"

"Would you mind closing your eyes so I can take a closer look?

"... Yes"

To the gentle Lucarian voice, Zelicina immediately closed her nodding eyes.
