Chapter 5-The decision of the saint.

(TL:By Rafael)

"Good morning! Marin-san!"(Maki)

"Yeah,. ...... Good morning, Maki."(Marin)

　

　--The next morning.

　

　When Marin appeared in the living room, Maki greeted her with a smile.

"What about  uncle, Mr. Gown?"(Marin)

"He's going around to the people who were in his party!"(Maki)

　

　When Marin tilted her head, the little girl smiled a little wryly.

　

　And then she briefly explained the events of the other day.

"That's what happened to you. ......"(Marin)

"Yes, it did. That's why my father regularly goes to see his old friends."(Maki)

"........................"(Marin)

　

　After hearing the story, the saint sat back in her chair and slumped.

　

　In the midst of her anguish, the question that came out of her mouth was this.

"Maki --"

　

　In a tense tone of voice.

"Aren't you afraid of Mr. Gown ......?"(Marin)

　

　She asked her if she was not afraid of her own father.

　

　It would have been a perfectly legitimate question. The fact that the person who had been violent to him and others was still around, even though he had reformed.

　

　There was no telling when he might change his mind and raise his hand again.

　

　It was not strange to think so.

"Hmm ...... sometimes I think?"(Maki)

　

　She seemed to have caught on to that intention..

　

　Maki put her hand on her chin and thought about it.

　

　However, she immediately smiled and said, 

"But for now--"

　

　In a cheerful tone of voice.

"I think I'll start by believing!"(Maki)

　

　Marin gulped at the expression on her face, which was so carefree.

　

　If you've changed your mind, you can start by believing. It's probably very important. Marin understood this, and that's why she turned her head.

　

　Then she said, 

"I wonder if I should also try to believe. ......"(Marin)

　

　To whom was she addressing these words?

　

　Was it to her own father or to Gown? Or to both of them?

　

　Perhaps Marin herself did not have the answer to that question. Nevertheless, she saw how important it was to face the anxiety that was deep inside her.

　

　Perhaps it was just a feeling of impatience that was building up in her heart.

　

　That's when it happened.

"You can start little by little, that's fine."(Maki)

"Maki, ......?"(Marin)

　

　It was then that her best friend gently touched her hand.

"It's not necessary to rush. My situation and Marin's are probably different. So for now, let's just do what we want to do, okay?"(Maki)

"What I want to do: ......?"(Marin)

"Yes, You like your life now, don't you, Marin?(Maki)

"....................."(Marin)

　

　And then she smiled at her as she looked into her face.

　

　Marin felt her heart gripped. She closed her eyes quietly and nodded.

"Yes, I--"(Marin)

　

　Perhaps this was the first decision the saint had to make.

◆◇◆

　

　A nobleman's house.

　

　In the hall of a nobleman's house, sitting on a large chair, a man was slumped over.

　

　The man's name is Kaon Cinderius - the current head of the Cinderius family, a tall, thin man with small glasses. He was now receiving a report from a secret agent.

"So, Marin is at Gown's house with ......?(Kaon)

"..................."

　

　The spy did not say anything.

　

　It could be taken as a silent affirmation.

　

　At least that's what Kaon thought, and the corners of his mouth lifted.

"It's interesting. It's very interesting ......!"(Koun)

　

　And then he said it with an excruciating laugh.

　

　An eerie voice echoed through the hall.

"Then let me take advantage of it!"(Kaon)

　

　Kaon stood up and shouted.

　

　The light in his eyes was dull and filled with hate.
