---Maybe he can see me.


　That's what Fresne said to me. That priest can see Fresne. Does he have that kind of power that he can see Freneh even if she doesn't show herself? What kind of person is that priest? Would he be okay with me being in front of him? I don't know. Should I meet the priest or should I not meet him? I don't know.


　The priest who's looking for the child. Should I leave before he does? Or should I choose to stay out of it? I'm having a hard time deciding.
　I came into contact with those people without thinking. And I got into a lot of trouble. People's lives were lost as a result. I'm curious about that priest, but I shouldn't have gone to see him without thinking.


"Hey, what do you think of ...... Fresne?
"I don't think it's hostile to us. I don't think there's any hostility.
...... Was there anyone else?
No, no one. It's just the two of them. It's just the two of us here.
...... Yeah.
I don't think I could do that with half a mind. I don't know much about people, Lelanda and all, but two normal people in the woods alone is a dangerous thing.


　Preparedness. Without that, Fresne said, there was no way they could have come into the forest alone.
　I'm not in much danger at the moment, but I know that demons are alive and dangerous in this forest. The people of that tribe were also attacked by demons and had a hard time.

　Even if your own life is in danger, you are prepared because of what you want.


　I don't know if I'm really a godson, but they're looking for me. They're looking for me and they're going into the woods like this.


　I wonder if I should respond to their determination, to their feelings. To tell you the truth, I'm interested in that priestess. The one who's looking for me. Someone who might know more about the existence of the Divine Child than I do.
　And he's gone this far into the woods to meet me. I'm starting to feel like I want to respond to that determination. I feel anxious because I don't know why she is trying to see me or what she plans to do after seeing me, but I feel like talking to her.
　But I wonder if I should follow my feelings. What will be the result of following my feelings as I see fit? I think about the future.



　--If you're trying to bring me back to human land. They might even force me to pass out and take me out. But if there's only two of them, they can't do that. Even if they wanted to take him out by force, wouldn't everyone let them do it? No, but since he can see Fresne, could he possibly use some kind of magic that I can't even imagine? Even if she could, I was horrified to think that she might be able to move in an instant or something.
　I don't know if it is possible for such magic to exist in reality. But I can't help but ponder if such magic exists.


　I think it is important to think about the future and what we should do. It's important to consider the various possibilities and eliminate the ones I don't want. However, I think it is also wrong to think only about the uncertainty of the future and not take action.



　There are consequences for taking action.
　It's really difficult to say what is right and what is wrong, but I want to move as much as possible without regret.



...... Lernda, have you thought this through?
...... I'm going to Ran and the others.


　In my mind, what I want to do and how I want to do it---that's almost been answered. But I can't make all the decisions and take all the actions by myself. I wanted to tell my answer to everyone, and then I wanted to answer again what I should do.


　It's not something that I have to answer alone. I have everyone, and they are always there to help me. ---So if I'm in trouble, I'll go to them, and then I'll get an answer.
　Then I went with Fresne to Mr. Lan, Dong and the others. Then I told them that the priest had seen Fresne. Mr. Lan and Mr. Dong were surprised by this. I was the only person in the village who could see Fresne when he wasn't trying to.
　Then I told them what I wanted to do.



"I want to see the priest.


　I look them straight in the eye.


　When I told them why I wanted to see the priest, they said, "Let's act on the off chance," and "It's fine to see him. But if it's harmful to ...... us, it would be better for the future if we don't let him live," they said.
　He said it was okay for me to see her, but that I might have to make a sad choice for the future.



　---There is a possibility that I will make a choice to see you and it will end sadly. If I choose to see her, it could have a sad ending. If you still want to see her, that is.
　I reiterated my choice with those words.



　----The girl and the choice
　(Maybe the girl who is a godchild has a conversation with a contracted spirit, thinks about the possibilities of the future, and then makes a choice.
