chapter 177
177.Is What You Are Doing Now a Funeral? (11)
Sabrina, the first saint.
She was a very important character in the game.
Kalon Academy and Kalon City itself are the places she invested the rest of her life into her, and all previous saints were to follow her in her footsteps and become guardians of the world.
In the game, the flow of fate is sometimes resisted, but the love affair continues her legacy.
However, an unexpected variable intervened.
The first is the early appearance of the Harpas Church.
I don’t know why, but these guys are going on a rampage to assassinate Karina. In the original, the guys who first appeared around this time secretly attacked Karina starting in the first semester, so things got a lot worse.
The second is the existence of an unknown true ending.
It’s still too early to judge because not much has been revealed, but it’s impossible to guess the direction of the true ending. Especially since there was no way for the true ending to be a happy ending.
…Still, I hope there is a happy ending, but there is too little information at this point.
The third is…Me.
It’s hard to say it with my own mouth, but aren’t I solving the main character’s problem? What the hostile forces thought of me was a more serious variable than I thought.
If you consider me dangerous, Karina may be in greater danger, and if you underestimate me, things will go as they were in the original.
I don’t want to stand out as much as possible, but for Karina’s sake, I may need to show myself to the world someday. There was a feeling that the mission given to me ultimately led me to do that.
“Philia, Philia! Where is it!”
“Sabrina! “I’m here!”
[Is that a play? Humans are so special. You like imitating others.]
What are you going to say when you shoot brainwashing beams?
I swallowed the words that rose up in her throat and tapped Lue, who was giggling at the reserved wheelchair seat, with her fingers.
[Okay okay. Don’t worry, contractor. We are thoroughly monitoring the surrounding area.]
Okay. That’s it. I took her mind off Lue and glanced at Karina. Karina must have been so nervous about having to go on stage herself, she was wriggling her hands as she looked at the stage with a stiff expression on her face.
“Are you nervous?”
“Yeah…It feels different than when I pray in front of people…”
“Don’t be too scared. “Isn’t it about five words to say anyway?”
“Still…”
Because people were wary, I couldn’t tap them on the shoulder, so I left a message of comfort.
“I finished the congratulatory speech well, so don’t worry too much. “I will understand even the slightest mistake.”
I wanted to tie her by the crotch of her pants and tell her not to go, but I felt sorry that I couldn’t stop her for the sake of her her duty her her her as a saint and her her status her her her her.
Even if I stop her, she says she will do it.
Because her name as a saint wasn’t something that could be broken to the point of causing a tantrum.
The most important NPC and heroine of ‘Survival Academy’.
A symbol of hope.
She is not a heroine who is tied to the main character first for no reason.
In reality, it was a bit strange that she and Louis were indifferent to each other, but since they were still following her in the larger picture, Karina would awaken as a true saint over time.
Her awakening was essential in order to see the true ending, which had not yet been resolved. Her powers change depending on whether she is awakened or not. Other children also had to be raised and prepared to the same level.
To put it bluntly, the monster that plays with even the final boss could be the boss of the true ending.
In the end, it meant that even though I knew she was in danger, I had no choice but to stand by to some extent.
“Life has been a mess…”
“Huh? “What did you just say?”
“It’s nothing.”
“Philia, your playing skills are truly amazing. The monsters that heard the music started dancing…”
“That’s too much praise.”
I need to be more careful with my mouth. Although my habit of talking to myself has improved noticeably in recent years, I still find myself saying this out loud from time to time. But it has to be that way.
Life is full of curses, but you can’t curse and it’s exhausting.
“Philia, Leon, Marie, Carlos! Can you see it over there? “What if we build a school on this plain?”
“Sabrina, I think it’s a really good idea!”
“Me too.”
“Does this mean that we should train younger students to prepare for the world’s next crisis?”
“That’s right.”
The content of ‘Saint Sabrina’ is simple.
Should I say it is a typical hero myth itself?
Sabrina, an ordinary girl, is chosen by Kalon one day, sets off on her journey, makes friends, and overcomes all her hardships.
She eventually came to be regarded as a saint whom everyone looked up to, and with her help, Kalon Academy was established and she left the academy in charge of her companions and wandered the world saving people. In her later years, she returned to the academy and taught her Close your eyes…
Is a simple, simple story.
However, it was a myth and a fairy tale so famous in this world that there was no one who didn’t know about it.
“Sabrina. Your plan is good, but I want to build a new country. “I am someone who can help everyone live happily.”
“I think it’s a good dream.”
…I know it’s just a play, but I felt strange listening to those lines.
Because I couldn’t help but think of the descendant of the first emperor.
I’m planning to ruin the country by next year because my descendants’ farming has failed.
To be exact, it happens because the descendants fight against each other to become king.
Anyway, the play was now slowly heading towards the second half.
This means that the time is approaching for Karina to go up on stage and recite Sabrina’s last words while she was alive. I leaned against the wall and looked around.
The auditorium was still quiet.
This may be because everyone is immersed in the unexpectedly excellent acting. But I was someone who couldn’t immerse myself in the play.
A being possessed from another world. A guard knight who must protect the saint.
And… The only one here who doesn’t have faith.
[It’s tantalizing just hearing your voice. Contractor, can you get me out? I want to see it with my own eyes too-]
“No.”
[Tch.]
You are the last line of defense to protect Karina, so you must not come out.
Because there is nothing more useless than a trap whose identity has been revealed. But how long do I have to talk to myself like this? I couldn’t help but be concerned that I looked like a strange person.
At least it’s not a bad thing to be understood regardless of the volume of the voice. Right now, I was keeping some distance from Rue.
[Then, take me to see a play next time.]
“…Next time.”
[You promised? Can’t you pretend not to know?]
“Okay, so be quiet.”
I’m secretly curious.
“Sabrina…”
“Hehe, so much time has already passed.”
Is it already time? I looked at Karina, who was going to the front of the podium with Leni. A side view with a clear look of nervousness.
As soon as Karina came up on stage, the quiet audience began to become noisy. Of course, it was because Karina came up on stage.
After coming up on stage, Karina sat down in front of the small platform her hosting staff had moved and her throat cleared.
“In honor of her invitation and her will of Saint Sabrina, we convey her will. Even if I disappear by God’s side and even my memory disappears and only my name remains… I hope that my mother and voice will forever remember the great achievements of my life…”
…It’s an amazing feeling.
You can actually hear Sabrina’s will that you heard in the game.
However, without even being impressed by Karina’s continued speech her, a strange bustle began to be felt in the audience.
Several people suddenly stood up.
When I looked at the faces closely, there was an ordinary middle-aged man, a tall young man, and a plainly dressed woman.
A group in which there is no unity at all. I counted them with my eyes and there were about 10 people. You are not holding something in your hand.
But there’s no way those camouflaged guys would reveal their weapons openly.
I kept an eye on those guys, opened my mouth slightly, and gave an order to Lu.
“Rue. Be prepared to intercept.”
[There are 12 contractors.]
Are there two more people hiding?
Should we stop the speech right away?
Or do you step forward and intercept them first? However, because it did not look like an assassin, it was difficult to touch it before it revealed itself.
It would be very troublesome if there was a frame where ‘the saint’s guard knight went crazy and attacked civilians.’ If those guys pretended to be civilians, Covey could have been in the worst situation.
Annoying b*stards.
Well, it was somewhat expected, so I quietly took the flute out of my pocket.
I’ve run a lot of simulations in my head.
There is an easy way to solve it, so I don’t feel the need to go back.
The side effects are a bit severe, but we’ll think about that later.
I quietly took out Philia’s belongings and placed them in her mouth.
…But what do you play?
I know that any song can be played, but I don’t know complicated tunes. To be exact, I knew very few songs, but I didn’t have the skills to play them.
…Oh, I don’t know.
Let’s go with something easy. Something easy.
I placed my finger over the hole of the flute and slowly breathed into the flute.
