Chapter 98 – 98. Stella
As the morning sun rises, people gather around a blazing bonfire in front of the carriage.
Since the commotion was so intense, it seems that a nearby village came to check on the situation, but the nun abbess approached them one step ahead.
Perhaps because it was the closest village to the convent, the friendship seemed special. In particular, those who often went there to heal the sick or were grateful for sharing the gospel were very friendly to the nuns.
In fact, the villagers came back with a bunch of food to repay the favor, saying that they had a nice visit.
Suddenly, a small breakfast buffet was prepared at this place, a bit far from the village.
Enjoy the morning in the rising sunlight. To be honest, I was so exhausted that I didn’t want to lift a finger, and I was injured due to being swept away by the divine power, so I was sitting slumped against the carriage.
“what. “Aren’t you eating?”
Finden Eye, who had a lot of food on his plate, glanced at me as he was passing by and asked me a question.
It was too bothersome to answer, so I motioned for him to go away, but he put a fork in his mouth and settled down next to me.
“… … good.”
“what. “It’s because there isn’t a proper place to sit.”
“Why not just get in the carriage?”
“Iluania is eating.”
Finden Eye started throwing a fork next to me, telling lies that didn’t even include the sincerity of being considerate of pregnant women.
It was a plate piled with quite a lot of food, with chicken and eggs as the main menu, along with salad and fruit, as if the villagers had been slaughtering chickens since early in the morning.
But looking at that didn’t whet my appetite.
Rather, the saliva in my mouth was dry and my tongue was so dry that I didn’t even want to smell food.
I wondered why I was here and doing this, but then a bottle of milk with a straw in it was handed out to me.
“drink. “It’s better to drink something since you lost blood earlier.”
“… … .”
“Even if the nuns treated you, it’s still basic to eat to get nutrition, right?”
Finden Eye is holding out milk without even looking at me. Although I wondered why this was happening all of a sudden, I wanted to quench my thirst, so I got a cup.
His hands were shaking and he saw that the milk was almost overflowing, so he snatched it up right away.
“Huh, this is a typical phenomenon that happens when wizards use too much mana. That’s enough, just open your mouth.”
“… … “Just go.”
“Uh huh.”
I said no, but the straw was pushing against my lips and stinging my throat. As she gasps in surprise, milk naturally pours through the straw and into her mouth.
It definitely quenched my thirst, so I felt like I was going to live. Because it was fresh milk, it was tasty and came in quickly.
It was humiliating to be treated like this by Findenai, but pouring the milk down my throat was more satisfying than I thought.
After drinking all the milk before I knew it, I was taking a deep breath.
The savory aroma of chicken fills your mouth. Surprised, when she closed her mouth, Finden child grabbed her chin with a displeased expression and forced it open.
“Anyway. “It’s so skinny that it won’t eat.”
“… … !”
“Stay still. It seems like they are torturing me for no reason. Where is this maid? “The owner is weak, so he forced me to gain weight.”
“Woof! “Do it in moderation.”
“Ah, yes.”
Even as he spoke, Findeneye’s fork did not rest. He grabbed Finden Eye’s wrist to tell him to stop, but he couldn’t resist because he wasn’t strong enough.
In the end, after feeding me all the food on the plate, Findeneye left with a sneer filled with strange satisfaction.
The smile that told me I had won felt like the greatest humiliation to me, so I wanted to pour out everything inside.
[It would be great.]
Then a voice came from behind. When I slowly turned my head, I saw a dark spirit with his head sticking out through the carriage, looking in this direction.
“Don’t go around like that.”
For no reason, it looked like his face was stuck in the carriage, so when I said a word, the dark spirit came out and crossed his arms in front of me.
[You know it was very dangerous this time, right?]
At those words, I burst into laughter without realizing it.
“When was there ever a time when it wasn’t dangerous?”
When I think about it, I have always fought for my life. I have always had a clear direction for victory, but that does not guarantee unconditional victory.
[That’s true, but… … .]
Because the area under his eyes was covered with a black cloth, his expression could not be seen, but his eyes were full of concern.
I take a breath and continue talking. It was impossible for her, her helper, to make her feel insecure.
“do not worry. “This is just an experience to see the end of necromancy.”
Especially this time, he showed her a new direction by dealing with the devil’s soul.
I thought I would be satisfied with this much, but the dark spirit was still looking at me with dissatisfied eyes.
[It was definitely great, though. That’s not why I’m angry right now.]
“Rapid growth cannot occur without a crisis.”
[…] … You’re kind of smart, if you ask me. Sometimes I act stupid.]
“… … .”
[I really hate that.]
A dark spirit pouting and kicking at me for no reason. Of course it was her, her spirit body, so her kicks only passed right through me.
[What do you plan to do, saint?]
“I will take care of it.”
I catch Stella looking up at the sun alone in the distance.
Looking at him with his eyes closed and his hands together, he seemed to be thanking those who saved him and praying to Goddess Hestia.
[Well, my seat is guaranteed, right?]
“… … .”
[No, that is. Well, the two of you were in a good mood, right?]
I took a deep breath and waved my hands, which were now starting to regain some strength.

[And it has nothing to do with me. Well, that saint is connected to necromancy.]
“If you’re going to talk nonsense, go away.”
[No, as a teacher, you can’t worry about this, right?]
“I never thought of him as a teacher.”
[Bye!]
The dark spirit sticks out his tongue and tries to leave. You couldn’t even see his tongue because of the fabric, but his personality was funny anyway.
She was a wise and knowledgeable woman when it came to necromancy, but because she spent half her life confined to her lab, she had little interaction with people, so she often showed an immature side.
Sometimes I thought that I was just a kid, just because my body was big.
‘It’s the exact opposite of Aria.’
It was a different feeling from her, who had a mature but half-broken body after going through all the hardships of childbirth.
Suddenly, I was a little worried about what Aria was doing right now, but my thoughts did not continue.
After Stella finished praying, she carefully approached me.
Her hair, which used to be blonde, had turned half-white and had a light shine.
It seemed to represent the hardships she had endured so far.
Her two soft blue-green eyes were staring at me.
It was a woman who looked like she had been painted on canvas.
When I saw her backlit, with her back to the sunlight, I could see why the saint was called the sun of the kingdom.
“Did you say hello?”
[…] … How did you know?]
Stella lowers her head as if she is embarrassed by my words. She has now said goodbye to God.
[The devil inhabited the body and agreed with Velika. Her remnants still remain in my body.]
Is it because we have lived in the same body for a long time? Stella and Velika’s souls seemed to have merged with each other.
I was very interested in this situation as it was the first time I had seen something like this.
Although, we don’t know if Velika is still safe because her divine power is more lethal.
“… … .”
[Goddess Hertia probably doesn’t want to see me like this.]
“is it.”
[I am fully grateful so far, and I was able to shake things off cleanly because I also fulfilled my role.]
I nodded and listened to her. My body was gradually gaining strength, but I was not yet able to stand up.
Stella noticed that and carefully sat down next to me. She places her head on my shoulder.
I can’t feel any touch or warmth, but as she moves, the wind gently tickles my nose and passes by.
[Because no one can see me. You can take such bold actions.]
A warm laughter was heard. It was similar to what I heard when we first met on the rooftop.
“Do you have any regrets anymore?”
[Yes, what I have done so far is not wrong. Because many people told me.]
Even though she expressed her thanks to them in tears for hours before praying to God, Stella still seemed to be still moved.
[So what happens to me now? Necromancer.]
Stella looks at me with her head on my shoulder. If he were alive, his inhaled breath would have touched his cheek.
I answered her firmly.
“I guess I should sleep.”
[…] … .]
“The reason I own you is not to treat you as a spirit and use you as a magician. “It was simply to provide a shelter where you can rest.”
[is that so.]
Stella seemed a bit disappointed, but I still had no intention of backing down.
She was so tired.
It was difficult enough to make the extreme choice of extinction.
Now I needed to close my eyes and rest a little.
[Then this is the last sky I see before I fall asleep.]
“Yeah, I guess so.”
From now on, Stella will sleep inside me. You will fall into a very deep sleep that neither God nor the devil can disturb you.
[Hmm, it’s a little disappointing. I wanted to talk more with you.]
Still, she did not strongly reject rest. Because she knew she was tired too.
[Can you tell me something?]
Stella asked, still leaning on me and crossing her arms.
“talk?”
[You read a storybook to your child before going to sleep. I also want to fall asleep while listening to stories about you.]
“I’ve already told you everything I can say about myself.”
[I did.]
Stella smiled and clung to me a little more and asked.
[Then what do you think of me? I think we shared a short but powerful experience.]
I was silent for a moment in response to Stella’s question.
The sun that had just risen was too bright to be seen, so I slowly lowered my gaze.
“I have never been in love.”
And I honestly told her how I felt.
“However, I have experienced it before.”
Because I indirectly felt the same emotion that the original Deius had for Illuania.
“I couldn’t deny that it was a truly cozy and warm feeling. “I also thought that maybe it would be difficult for me to have those feelings.”
Aria said that I hooked up with Erica in the first episode, but I still had doubts about whether I really loved her.
He continues speaking.
It was not to convey something to Stella.
It just felt like Stella was secretly eavesdropping on my honest monologue.
“But, if I ever had those feelings for someone.”
I slowly look at Stella.
I quietly said goodbye to the woman who will always be with me, but who will now separate from me.
“I think he might be the same person as you.”
A moment of silence.
As I was staring at Stella’s flushed face, she opened her mouth like a carp and then took a deep breath.
Even though I no longer needed to breathe, it seemed like it was a habit I had when I was alive.
[You don’t want to make me sleep? Please do not regret it.]
I didn’t mean to do that.
When I answered that I was just expressing my honest feelings, Stella hesitated and then opened her mouth.
[You and I are opposites.]
“… … .”
[You don’t know much about love, but I know the feeling of love very well. I loved everyone I met.]
Indeed, that is why.
Those feelings were truly sincere, which is why so many souls sacrificed themselves for this woman.
[Is that why? I don’t want to name my feelings for you love.]
“… … .”
[Because it is not the same feeling I had for other people. So I won’t call this love.]
I feel warmth.
I felt like the mana left in her soul gently enveloped me.
[But I don’t have the talent to give it a grand name.]
Stella’s voice gradually begins to fade away.
[The sun has set on the continent. Lucia will do well next time after me.]
“Yes, I guess so.”
Like a child slowly falling asleep.
[Please help that child well. When the sun rests, you become the moon and protect this continent.]
“I will try.”
[Hehe, I will be there to watch you work hard.]
slowly.
Very slowly.
[When I lost my eyes, I thought I would never see the moon again.]
Stella’s hand wraps around my waist and she becomes light and enters me.
[See you again, my moon.]
Stella, who was slowly disappearing, smiled and whispered one last time.
[I will become your star and always be with you.]
