"Mr. Alphonse, this way."

"Yes."

　Sura is dead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She lived a long life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She lived so long that even she did not know how old she was.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After she passed away, we decided to hold her funeral.

　Barka Church in New Barka Town.

　There is an ice-absorbing stone statue of Brother Ars riding a Valkyrie here, and it keeps us warm all year round.

　In fact, the larger statue in the Barka Church makes the surrounding area feel less cold, so that the whole New Barka Town is comfortable even in winter.

　There was a coffin in front of the altar where the miraculous statue was placed, and Sura's body was placed there.

　The church in Barca was under the care of Hanna, who also performed Sura's funeral service.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hanna called out to me in front of everyone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With those words, I started to move forward.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I approach the coffin with Sura in it and place a sake cup on top of Sura's remains.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a bright red cup.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is made of the reddish-black magic stone I obtained in the magic labyrinth, and my blood has made it into the shape of a vessel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When it is placed on top of Sura's body, the liquid slowly seeps out of the vessel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At first glance, the liquid may appear to be alcohol made of grapes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it was Sura's blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sura's last wish, the act of sucking blood after her death, was also carefully discussed by others.

　As Laura once said to me, I am already seen and evaluated by others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not right to openly suck the blood of the dead in the middle of a solemn funeral ceremony, let alone on the battlefield, where it would be an unusual situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would not look good, after all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be a bad idea to put a magic sword into the dead Sura's body and suck the blood out until it dries up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's why I made the sake cup to cover it up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's a reference to a local legend.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the Kuzuryu Plain, which includes the Orient, there is a kind of nature belief, in which a river that floods frequently is considered as a dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is an anecdote that a sake cup came out of a dragon's body when the dragon was slain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sake cup here is something I hastily made up, but I have given it a ridiculous name, the Holy Grail, based on this story.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I added a fictional story that the person who drinks the blood from the holy cup that emerged from the body of the dragon will have eternal life or something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know how many people would believe this, but since the church claims to be the birthplace of magic, it would not be surprising if there were such a mysterious item.

"By the chalice I take for myself the pure liquid soul of Saint Sura, and I pledge to walk with him in the future. Sura, may you rest in peace."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then I drank the glistening clear liquid from the chalice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the sight of this, the attendees bowed their heads in gratitude.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After that, each of us approached Sura and said our farewells.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, there were quite a few people, and I don't know how long it would take them to finish.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A saint.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sura has died and become a saint.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The only other saint I know is Pope Paul.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Pope Paul was canonized as a saint for introducing a medical book that might make possible the treatment of missing parts, etc., and Sulla was canonized as a saint in the same way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the other pope's sainthood is totally different, since the other pope is a saint of the Church of the Holy Light and this pope is a saint of the Church of Barca.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, Sulla also has some solid achievements to be recognized as a saint.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was the compilation of the Holy Scriptures.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Church of Barca compiled the Holy Bible based on the Bible of the Church of the Holy Light.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was meant to make it easier for the Balkan Church to spread in the East.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The culture and history of the East and the West are totally different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He made the Bible of the Holy Light Church as a basis, but added some good stories to make it easier to be familiar with it in the East.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This work was done by Elvis and others, but it was mostly completed thanks to Sura.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would not be surprising if Sura is recognized as a saint for his great accomplishment of compiling the Holy Scriptures.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, there was no particular objection from anyone in recognizing him as a saint.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And it is said that after compiling the scriptures, Srila visited churches here and also churches in other villages and towns to preach.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Basically, because of his age, he often spoke in this town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, he had a good reputation, which I did not know about.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Many of the attendees here had heard Sura's stories when he was alive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Despite the fact that they were from Valeant, they were all shedding tears and sharing their memories of Soula's death.

"She had such an influence on me. Sura."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course, Mr. Alphonse. Didn't you know?　They are all very excited about the teachings of St. Sura and are trying to spread them around the world."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. That's great. So Hannah is one of them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. I will try my best to preach in a way that will touch people's hearts as St. Sura did.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yes, I know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This may be just the right opportunity.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Balkan Church has built churches all over the Orient from this new Balkan town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, its influence has not extended to other small countries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With the birth of a saint named Sura, I thought that this might be a good opportunity to expand the influence of the church a little more.
