This villain, please exercise some restraint.

Later, she heard less about control.

As a priestess, although she participates in the selection of almost all successors of power cards, this is the only thing she can participate in, related to power cards.

She shouldn't have to interfere with the rest, and she has no right to do so.

Especially about the heirs.

That is the jurisdiction of the world.

But Temperance, this boy who seems to never grow up in her eyes, this successor who is willing to open his heart to her, this... capable subordinate in the world, this... is treated as a younger brother by herself Her "child" has disappeared from her sight for too long.

Worry, endless worry.

With this worry, she finally made up her mind to ask the world.

There is no revelation about the Temperance card in the Book of Pure White, which shows that at least... at least Temperance is still recognized by the world.

At that time, she only wanted to take a look at Temperance, just take a look from a distance... to confirm his safety.

But in the end, she still did not come to the world.

[Ah, it's the priestess...let me guess...are you looking for Temperance? 】

The magician blocked her way, smiled and said.

【Yes. 】

She didn't deny it, and there was no need to deny it.

[Yes - go to the world to find moderation? 】

the magician asked again.

【Yes. 】

She replied calmly.

[Then I advise you not to go, even though you are a priestess and have a special status. In a sense, your height is no less than that of the world. 】

The magician said as his eyes glanced at the pure white book held in the hands of the priest in front of him.

[The world still respects you, but the successors of power should be under the jurisdiction of the world, and moderation - of course is no exception. 】

[If you intervene, it would be because of personal emotions, which would be too unreasonable... Moreover, the anger of the world has become somewhat irrepressible. It is best for you not to touch this fire that is about to explode. 】

What the magician said was reasonable, she knew in her heart, but——

[No, I must see the world and see... moderation. 】

She heard herself reply.

She stepped forward and walked forward.

[Sigh...Why do you have to let me explain it so clearly? 】

The magician standing behind him sighed softly.

[Priestess, do you know why the world is angry? 】

[Because... Temperance betrayed the world's trust in him, he - betrayed the world, and even... hurt the world. 】

[The Lovers are already actively looking for the next successor to the power of the Temperance Card through various channels. If my lover hadn't discovered Temperance's actions in time, I simply can't imagine what kind of harm that lunatic would do to the world with that power. 】

The steps under his feet paused for these words.

The magician's words went beyond her inherent understanding of moderation.

[My lover...can you believe what that guy said? It is not surprising that his words led to wrong judgments. 】

Reason allowed her to quickly cool down and calmly speak out these rebuttals.

[Even if you don’t believe in lovers, then...what about the world? The world has issued a comprehensive arrest warrant regarding moderation. I believe that in the near future, you will not be able to avoid seeing moderation. 】

[What is the world going to do with him? 】

If there is a comprehensive arrest warrant against temperance, temperance that has lost the trust of the world may not be able to hide for long.

With her heart moving slightly, she looked back at the magician and asked.

[It is said that after the guilt is clarified by trial, if the crime does not lead to death, the lover will accept the punishment and then hand it over to the lover. This is the lover's request... But temperance has not dealt with the lover for a long time before. I think, he If it falls into the hands of a lover, it may go in completely, but it is unknown whether it is still intact when it comes out. 】

[Temperance is crazy, and Lover...has always been an out-and-out lunatic, isn't he? 】

The magician said with interest.

[So, what if the sin of temperance leads to death? The world he——】

With a feeling that she could not deeply analyze, she asked a question with a known answer.

[If the sin leads to death, the God of Death will use his own way to make him responsible for his mistakes. 】

The magician said it politely, but the answer he gave was already quite clear.

It seems that as a traitor, once Temperance is caught, no matter the severity of his guilt, he will have a not-so-pleasant ending.

She turned back and looked at the road in front of her. It was obvious that she could see the world if it wasn't far away, but she couldn't go on.

The pure white book in her hand was still silent, but her heart was shaking gently.

From her position, she really shouldn't have to go to this place for a sinner.

She was supposed to take on the task of being a lover and find the next more qualified successor, but... she seemed a little unable to do so.

Perhaps, the world takes this into consideration and leaves this matter to lovers.

This is undoubtedly telling myself - don't get involved in this matter.

She heard herself finally sigh heavily.

Temperance, moderation, if I can... I hope not to see you again.

She came with the desire to see moderation, but ultimately returned with the opposite prayer.

The layers of pure white robes were added to her body, and she suddenly felt for a moment that they were a bit too heavy.

"As long as the world...as long as the world what?"

The words of the young man who was hidden in the black cloak in front of him brought back the priestess's flying memories.

"If you let me name the clowniest guy in the world, he is definitely the only candidate."

"Temperance...how can you say that-"

The expression of the priestess changed slightly.

In her opinion, it is not easy for temperance to regain a new life, and now it seems that the world may have to make a lot of concessions for this.

Comparing the previous successors to the power of the Temperance card, it is incredible that the current Temperance is still alive after betraying and hurting the world. From the perspective of those standing next to it, it is incredible.

It's not that the world is cruel and unapproachable - on the contrary, in her opinion, the world seems easy to talk to, gentle and thick...

But this is only on the surface. It can govern the group of successors of power for a long time, allowing them to go through the years without deviating from the established track. The world has given the most powerful proof through time.

Prove that he is a qualified leader, a qualified governor, a qualified...world.

The world already existed before the successors appeared, or even before she appeared. Compared to the other successors of power who are replaceable, the world seems to have always been...irreplaceable. that.

He is indeed thick and filled with the sense of time, but even if he says nothing, does not interfere in anything, and does not get involved, he still seems to be the one who sees the most thoroughly and makes the most correct choice.

Sometimes, it's just a matter of the world choosing not to tell the truth.

So even though she had a good impression of the world, she still couldn't help but be wary of hiding too much selfishness when working with him.

As for speaking evil words...that is even more impossible.

But he actually controlled himself——

The priestess couldn't help but slightly widen her eyes.

"Oh, how can you say this about the world? Isn't what he did ugly enough?"

"Priestess, if you know the world, you will know that he is a very contradictory and stupid guy. The thought of standing with such a person makes me feel a little... unbearable."

The restrained and understated tone, the slightly sarcastic words, sentence after sentence, impacted the priestess' cognition.

She used to know that temperance was crazy, and even what she did later was crazy, but now temperance seems to be a little crazy.

"However, I didn't call you out just to discuss this guy in the world with you -"

The cold fingertips lifted the priestess's chin. The priestess raised her head slightly and saw the restrained lip line without any ups and downs.

Temperance whispered.

There was obvious impatience in the eyes hidden under the wide hood.

When the world took action to destroy his achievements, he and that guy were destined to never be together again.

Even if there is a disparity in power, even if he is repeatedly stabbed by the cards given by the world, even if he fails many times, he has never given up using everything available and trying his best to achieve his goal.

But the victory that should have been achieved was eventually easily reversed by the world.

He cannot understand the world and does not want to understand the world.

After a purple paper crane flew around him, it gently landed on the back of the hand he raised subconsciously, interrupting his words.

He recognized that this was the messenger of the world, calling him back.
