I really only stop

Just because of such an ordinary thing as [a person in my own room], I was so lonely, I even wanted to send myself back to that person immediately by teleportation, hug him and never leave.

The sadness caused by loneliness, the incomprehension and fear of her own situation all rushed into the heart of Miss Saintess under the cover of the night.Before she felt that she was about to cry uncontrollably, she covered her mouth with the quilt.

In the room with only her alone, the girl was crying unknowingly like this, and the tears wet the quilt covering her cheeks like this, bringing a burst of coldness that went straight to the bottom of her heart——

"—"

——Until, a warm hand firmly held her hand in its palm.

Dispel the cold ice, spring flowers bloom.

Eyes filled with tears widened in an instant, but when the girl recalled the owner of that unique temperature, she fell into a moment of silence inexplicably.

"What? You are only allowed to run away with the holy light teleportation, but I am not allowed to chase after it with the special edition teleportation?"

Looking at the girl who covered her head with a quilt and tried her best to pretend [I'm already asleep] with amused and distressed eyes, Lu Xi shook her head:

"Since you fell asleep, there's nothing you can do. I just feel sleepy too, so I'll say goodnight now, and—"

"Don't go!"

Afraid that the sweetheart who would be able to dispel the chill just by being by her side would leave like this, almost subconsciously, the girl lifted the sheet covering her head, and in a panic kept her room, but she happened to meet a pair of smiling eyes .

Greeting Yuxia's gaze without any surprise, Lu Xi slowly added the second half of the sentence:

"——Then, please allow me to make a bed next to the bed of the noble Holy Empress so that I can accompany her all night long."

"!!!"

Only then did she realize that she had fallen into his trap completely, her pretty face flushed instantly, and she covered her head with the sheet again as if to cover up.

"Bad man."

——Indistinctly, she seemed to be complaining in such a low voice.

"...If you wish, you can sleep on this bed. In the name of the princess, I agree."

— more quietly, she added.

Such a cute and rare "tiger" lady, how many lambs are willing to jump into her mouth?

Chapter 810 The Dream of Apocalypse

The moonlit night was still so quiet, the only difference was that there was an extra person on the bed of Miss Saint Empress.

"After lying on the same bed like this, you're not as clingy to me as you were during the day."

Looking amusedly at the lady saint who was lying beside her with a blushing complexion and straight body, Lu Xi sighed:

"How about I lay a floor next to it? Don't worry, it will be soon."

"...This, this is good..."

Subconsciously grabbed Lu Xi's hand, and when she saw his teasing eyes, the saintess who knew she had been tricked by the same thing turned around shyly and angrily, leaving Lu Xi with a slender face. back view.

Sure enough, Yuxia today is different from ever before.

After a long silence, Lu Xi suddenly asked:

"What are you afraid of?"

"……do not know."

When I heard this question, I trembled reflexively, and the voice of Miss Saintess seemed a little muffled:

"I just suddenly felt like [lost] something, which was obviously very important, but I couldn't remember it at all."

... so vague.

I understand that Miss Saintess is trying her best to describe what she is doing at this time, but based on these alone, even Mr. Lu, the top translator, cannot figure out what she means.

To find out the truth of things, we must start from the root.The time when Yuxia had a problem was after returning from the seaside villa yesterday. Before that, our group had a very pleasant vacation at the seaside.

In other words, the key to solving the problem lies in the period [after we return].

Since learning about Yuxia's anomaly, Lu Xi sighed faintly for the first time thinking about this question.

…No, I can’t think of any triggers that could lead to Yuxia’s current situation.

After teleporting back from the beach yesterday, the four of us went back to the room to rest because we were tired. No one stepped out of the house, and the house itself was protected by the holy light array from Yushia. It is also difficult to break through.

Taking a step back, Nova's [Operation Code: Protector] has been observing the situation of the girls.Except for the world-destroying dragon, I don't think there is any existence that can bypass the surveillance from Osiris and silently do anything to the already powerful Holy Queen.

——No matter what the reason is, as long as she needs my company, I will always be by her side.

Using the adventurer card to confirm Yuxia's status again, Lu Xi, who still didn't find anything wrong, shook his head, and helped Miss Saintess cover the quilt:

"I won't leave, just rest well."

A simple guarantee is more reassuring than any powerful holy sword and holy spear in the world.

The inexplicable uneasiness before had gradually subsided, and the girl hummed slightly as she felt the warmth from his body through the thin blanket.

Hearing that tone, it seemed that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

----------

Gold, incomparably bright gold.

Floating barefoot in this golden river, a flash of enlightenment flashed in Miss Saintess' heart.

Am I dreaming?

The scene in front of me is too dreamy and ethereal, even if the huge holy light, which even the holy lady who is a natural saint, can't imagine flowing around, just exists, it makes people feel refreshed.

From time to time, there will be some animals like rabbits or squirrels appearing from the river of holy light, jumping happily to the feet of the lady saint, rubbing her furry body and then disappearing suddenly, which makes people feel a sense of naturalness. Pleasure.

There is no doubt that this is a scene that cannot exist in the real world, and its magnificence makes people want to stay longer.

However, Miss Saint, who has a strong self-control ability, did not indulge in this.She stepped forward, and while she was rippling in the ocean of holy light, she was also thinking about a question:

Why am I here?

"—"

As if sensing her doubts, a gentle voice that was somewhat familiar and extremely nostalgic sounded softly in the girl's ear. Although it was ethereal, it did exist:

"...ya"

"Yu... Ya."

This voice was so delicate that Miss Saintess had to concentrate fully in order to capture the meaning from the tinkling of the river of holy light.

"【Yusia.】"

——Yes, this voice is calling me.

From the moment she realized this fact, the girl's steps acted on their own.There is no rigidity controlled by others, but an instinct and urgency from the heart.

If, if I'm not mistaken, this voice that has been buried deep in my memory is——

"!"

The hurried footsteps stopped abruptly when she saw someone's figure, and she didn't care to calm her slightly messy breathing, the girl just stared blankly at the extremely familiar figure in front of her:

"...the queen mother?"

------------

Yes, it really was her.

Smile, demeanor, temperament... everything is exactly the same as in the memory, the most important thing is the strong sense of intimacy in her body, which is real and true.

The current emperor's only wife in his life, a woman admired by every member of the middle-aged adventurer team, and the queen of the empire who gave birth to the most glorious holy princess.

Almost subconsciously, Yuxia wanted to call out the title that she hadn't said for a long time:

"mother……"

"I'm sorry, but I'm not your mother, Yuxia."

"--Eh?"

Under Miss Saintess's stunned gaze, the woman with the face of a queen lowered her head apologetically:

"I understand that what I will say next will make you feel confused, but this is not just a [dream], and I am not just someone you imagined in your dream."

"……What's the meaning?"

Subconsciously making a defensive movement, Miss Saintess looked at the woman cautiously:

"Please speak clearly."

"Before continuing the topic, please allow me to continue with the previous unfinished question."

Even though Yuxia faintly showed hostility, the woman's voice was still so soft and gentle:

"Yusia, if one day, your [love] and [rightness] really had an irreconcilable conflict, which side would you choose?"

"—!"

His eyes shrank instinctively, and at this moment, Miss Saintess finally came to her senses.

Although the memory of that day was a bit blurred because it was too ethereal, the voice of the woman in front of me was definitely the same as the voice of inquiry I heard when I was under the World Tree [Epiphany]!

But why is she here?

"There is no need to panic, Yushia."

Gently calling Miss Saintess's name, as if seeing what she was thinking, the woman with the face of a queen smiled slightly:

"I can be many existences to you. Such as memories, such as apocalypse, such as self-doubt, and such as self-questioning from the heart. But, to be more precise-"

The gentle tone paused for a moment, and when the woman spoke again, the surrounding holy light gathered behind her in an instant, forming a resplendent and golden statue in an instant.

The brilliant heavenly power encompasses all things.

Word by word, she declared:

"—Yusia, I am your [faith]."

Chapter 811 Beacon Stands on the Earth

"……Belief?"

Even though she was stunned for a moment because of the glory easily displayed by the other party, Yuxia quickly realized:

"How absurd, just now you were still asking me [what is my belief], and now you claim to be my belief in a blink of an eye. Don't you think it violates logic?"

"It seems that you also feel [against logic], Yushia."

Sighing slightly, a trace of compassion flashed in the woman's eyes:

"You are right. One cannot hold on to two beliefs at the same time. Because of this, you, who refuse to let go of either side, are walking on the opposite path from what you hoped in the past—if not, you will face Why are you so entangled in the question just now?"

"...As you said, I can't let go of either side. However, I am not [entangled]."

Having repeated the answer countless times in her heart, Miss Saintess looked into the woman's eyes stubbornly:

"I am the saint of the Holy See who is obsessed with being right and prays to guide the world with my own strength. I am also the princess of the empire who wants to cherish the one I love and stay by his side. After honestly facing my heart, I found that everything is not as complicated as I imagined. If someone insists on me [making a choice] in it, then I must have only one response-to completely clear the questioner himself out of my sight."

[Correct] The education from the sanctuary and the personal words of the sages, [Love] comes from everything I realized after meeting him and the teachings of the queen—to this day, Miss Saintess no longer struggles with which side to choose problem.

Want both sides, and then start to clean up the existence that forced her to make a choice, even resorting to absolute violence-although she usually looks gentle and pleasant, but Yushia Leonard is the current emperor of the empire, Tess The only blood of La Leonardhild.And what the unparalleled majesty left to Yuxia was not only the exquisite hammering skills passed down in her family.

"...What a noble will, this is your unique talent, Yuxia."

Sighing with some relief and some emotion, the woman withdrew the statue made of holy light behind her:

"However, your thinking is still too naive. Undoubted power can only give you the ability to defend your two beliefs. If those two beliefs themselves conflict, you can still hold your head high and say what you just said ?"

"It's not a multiple-choice question like [sacrifice one side to save the other], which can be declared [I want it all], but [the self-contradiction of two things I believe in]."

"There is no so-called third party who persecutes you. When the two existences you believe in spontaneously want to devour each other-at that time, how should you choose?"

"...that kind of situation won't exist."

A trace of uneasiness that even he didn't know came from flashed in his heart, and Miss Saintess clenched her fists slightly:

"I trust that person, no matter what time, he will stand by my side and stand in the right direction."
