My Daughters Have Become Gods

16 – Petals

It was the morning when we were scheduled to leave for the Holy Kingdom.

Seongguk… ….

It is a country that worships Leah….

If I go, will I be able to meet Leah?

My child who became a god.

The moment I packed up my bags to leave and opened the front door, I ran into my parents.

I looked around my parents, but all I could see were my parents and the residents of the mansion.

Ecclesia was not visible.

Are you so angry about me leaving?

You don’t even see me off.

I can’t believe I’m breaking up with Ecclesia in such an awkward situation….

I feel good.

On the way back, I should at least buy him a gift he likes.

Even if I meet Leah, she will come back soon.

Because the current journey is just for confirmation.

“Mom, Dad! “I’ll be back!”

“Okay, take care Arwen.”

“Arwen… “She must return safely.”

Her mother was shedding tears endlessly, perhaps because she was worried about her five-year-old son leaving home alone.

The moment I was about to get on the carriage, I suddenly thought of Ecclesia and looked up at the second floor.

Unexpectedly, Ecclesia opened the window and looked in my direction.

If you’re going to look at me like that, why don’t you come and say hello?

Are you that upset about breaking up with me?

I looked at the second floor one last time, waved, then turned around and got into the carriage.

* * *

Arwen eventually left.

I don’t know why he was so obsessed with going to Seongguk, but he seemed quite excited.

“Okay, take care Arwen.”

“Arwen… “She must return safely.”

Her mother sees Arwen off alone, shedding tears because she is worried about her.

Well… No matter how mature Arwen appears, as long as she doesn’t know that he is a reincarnation, it would be a normal reaction for her to react to her 5-year-old son going alone.

In the end, I didn’t go to see Arwen off.

I don’t understand it myself.

Why doesn’t she go see him?

I’m about to see her face again….

It’s a family… Such a sweet breakup.

What am I even doing?

Maybe it’s because of dreams from my past life that I started having recently, but I keep feeling like I won’t be able to see him again… I felt as if I would never see him again if I saw him off this time.

So, I didn’t even intentionally go out to see him off, but we ended up making eye contact through the window.

Arwen waved at me before getting into the carriage.

Ha…… What is the liberated demon lord? .

Why should I live for myself?

If you show a more childish side than your younger sibling, you are disqualified in the first place.

* * *

I followed the bishop into the carriage and set off.

The only places I have visited since entering Arwen’s body are the Alerto territory and the neighboring territory.

But to leave this country and go to the Holy Kingdom?

I felt my heart pounding and excitement.

…… Is not it?

Are you excited about being able to meet Leah?

Rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle

“Young master is amazing. I can’t believe you have that much divine power at such a young age. “I guess this is also God’s grace, right?”

“Yes, maybe something like that?”

It’s hard to believe that a five-year-old child possesses such great divine power.

This is ridiculous.

From the bishop’s perspective, he could not help but think of himself as God’s chosen child.

Actually, I am not like that, but… If only to meet Leah.

“I see. “I wonder what secret Young master holds to give him such divine power.”

The appearance of an ordinary bishop.

The words and actions of an ordinary bishop.

But it felt unfamiliar somewhere.

It’s like… ….

No.

In historical documents, it was written that they all disappeared.

That can’t be true.

It may be because of my mood.

I was just nervous because I thought I would be able to meet Leah after a long time.

Rumbling

The carriage, which had been running for quite some time, stopped.

“Young master, please get off. “I plan to stay here today.”

“Is this the accommodation for today? …… Uh? “Where am I?”

When I got off the carriage, I saw a very different scenery than what I had imagined.

What is this place?

Dark…… Is it a cave?

Why did you come to this cave?

If you are on the way to Seongguk, there will be plenty of villages along the way where you can stay.

A cave. Weird. The priest is bringing me to the cave?

Something is wrong.

“Are you surprised because it’s a cave? Even if it looks like this on the outside, it won’t be as uncomfortable on the inside as it is on the outside. Please go inside. “There will be a bedroom prepared for you.”

First, we headed into the cave following his guidance.

Activating his divine power to a level that the bishop does not notice.

The more you enter, the stronger the feeling of despair and fear becomes.

And the energy of death.

Evidence that a significant number of people lost their lives here.

It is not an ordinary death either…….

Traces of human sacrifice.

“You….”

“… Huh? “Why are you doing this, Young master?”

“It wasn’t a bishop. You… “What is it?”

“What is it? “What do you mean by that?”

The guy answered with a smile, saying he really didn’t know anything.

“If you were a priest of Leah, you wouldn’t have done something like this. “I wouldn’t leave a place like this alone.”

“What a place. I don’t know what you’re talking about? Young master, did you say this was your first time in a cave? Surely… I didn’t think about Young master’ age. Because he is so mature. “It’s scary.”

“The energy of death vibrates. “And the screams of sacrificial lambs sacrificed for someone else.”

“…… hehehehe.”

Hearing those words, he opened his eyes.

The guy’s eyes were covered with eyelids…… Bright red devil’s eyes.

“I never thought you would notice this. It’s pretty good. Is he the main character of the oracle? “I never thought my identity would be discovered by a five-year-old child.”

The guy tilted his head as if he was impressed.

“I asked who I was. You’re right. I am not actually the Bishop of Leah. To be precise, they killed the Bishop of Leia and stole his identity.”

You killed the bishop and stole his identity.

Considering the status of the Church of Leia on this continent, he is not an ordinary guy.

A criminal who operates on at least a continental level.

And even human sacrifice… Priest of the evil god. Or a follower of the devil.

“Then the reason you brought me here… “Is it because I, who has a lot of divine power, also wants to be sacrificed?”

“hahahahaha. After all, you are only 5 years old, so your thoughts are simple, right?”

Simple?

This bastard… ….

“No. “It’s not such a lame reason.”

No? Then why would you bring me to the extent of stealing the bishop’s identity?

“Rather than that reason…… “Because my master is looking for me.”

Master?

Is this a being above this guy?

“The main character of the oracle.”

…… What?

“Leah, the prostitute who dared to oppose her master. This is the man she is desperately looking for. “Don’t you think there’s a reason?”

It is an entity that is hostile to Leah….

A being unknown in history books.

Is it okay to think of him as the devil of this era?

“I don’t know why, but maybe the goddess needs someone to cover her lower hole. Isn’t she a magical prostitute? If I offer up her man to my master, I too will receive a great reward. “

This bastard… ….

“Hmm… Still, isn’t a five-year-old child a bit funny? “Well, it’s typical of Leah to be of a low standard.”

How dare you… How dare we Leah…… What?

Hung Hung

“You… ….”

I confirmed that it was only me and him in this space anyway.

Even if you take out the holy sword, there is no one to see.

It doesn’t really matter because this guy clearly intends to get rid of it.

Having come to that conclusion, I took out the holy sword from subspace and held it.

A holy sword that has been made smaller and sized to fit me, as I have the body of a five-year-old child.

“… Huh? Was there anything in what I said that made you angry? There was no way he was a devout follower of Leah at that age. Is she, after all, the chosen one? …… Knife? Where did it come from… ?”

The guy took a step back with a puzzled expression as he looked at the holy sword.

“Divine power? No. This…… ‘Divinity’. Nonsense. “A sword filled with ‘divinity’?”

Chaeng

I aimed the holy sword at him.

“You deceived me. I can tolerate insults to myself. But… “I can’t stand insulting my child.”

“…… My child? What on earth are you talking about… ?”

I swing towards this guy, filled with divine power.

Quagwagwagwagwang

“Kwaaak!”

From noble mtl dot com

Ecclesia curled up in her room.

She was in a daze, then suddenly, as if she had an idea, she got up, picked a small flower from the garden, returned to her room, and threw herself on the bed.

Then he muttered as he took off the petals one by one.

“Go. I’m not going. Goes. “I’m not going.”

Then, one last remaining petal.

“Not… Goes… ….”

She was staring blankly at the bare flower with all its petals fallen, and as if she didn’t like it, she unleashed her magic with her hands.

Whirling

A flower petal newly bloomed by magic.

“I’m going.”

Peeling off the last petal, Ecclesia stood up from her seat with a determined expression.
