Shadow Ruler Chapter 5 Part 5 (Patreon)

The next day

For some reason, Lily-san suggested that I take a bath with Anne-san.

I thought my clothes were clean since I had washed them a lot yesterday, but she said it was important for a girl to wash them often and clean them.

She was wearing a pure white one-piece dress with frills here and there.

By the way, after she put it on, Lily-san and her friends said

"It's an angel! An angel has descended!"

I don't know, but they said it was a compliment.

I don't know what it was, but I heard they praised me.

And breakfast was French toast? It was the first time I had sweet bread other than fruit.

It was the first time for me to try something sweet other than fruit, but it was delicious and different from fruit in a strange sweetness.

Anne-san told me that many girls like sweets.

I asked her why.

And men tend to like meat and other heavy foods. I heard that meat is dangerous.

I heard that meat is dangerous.

Men are astonishing, aren't they?

Carna then told me that I needed to get stronger little by little, so I was finally able to walk around town.

Lily-san and Anne-san snuggled up to me from both sides with Cane-san supporting me, Carna on top, Shasty in front, Dan-san and Zell-san behind.

They all seem to be worried about me.

I could walk a lot more than when I was wandering around in the forest, probably because I rested a lot and the food was delicious.

Lily-san and the others said they were secretly my escorts. I wondered.

Carna told me it meant protecting me from all kinds of things.

But everyone around me avoided me, right?

I don't know why they were red-faced, and most of them were looking at me, not at Lily-san and the others.

It was a little strange because I didn't feel like they were mad at me.

It was a look I had never felt before.

Oh well.

Lily-san and the others said they would take care of it, so I left it to them and walked as fast as I could.

"Here we are. This is the church."

It is a big white building.

The transparent, shiny glass walls are not like the ones in the other stores, but in a variety of colors.

I think it's beautiful.

And when you go inside, you can see all the different colors of glass... I heard it is called stained-glass, and the light coming in from there illuminated the inside of the room, and the room was glowing in different colors, so it was beautiful.

I think it's even more beautiful than from outside.

It was spectacular.

God must be happy to see such a beautiful room.

I don't know what kind of person God is, but he's the one your mother said was so stingy, isn't he?

I wonder if he has a hard job.

What does God do?

Oh well.

And Dan-san and his friends are working with a sister who works here called Sister-san? While Dan-san and the others were speaking with the "sisters" who work here, we prayed.

They asked us to face the statue of a beautiful, winged sister, meditate, clasp our hands in front of our chests, and make a wish.
