　It burns.

　Red, I see it in my vision. The flames are burning - and I'm trying desperately to extinguish them with water from the well, but it's not keeping up.

　--I hear such a voice saying that the fire was caused by a lamp that fell over and caught on fire.

　Stunned, I am tapped on the shoulder by Kayu.

'Lelunda, let's help put out the fire!

Uh-huh.

　It was the first time I had ever seen a fire. My late auntie had told me many times that fire was a terrible thing. We use fire for cooking on a daily basis. If we are not careful with that fire, it can be very dangerous, she said.

　Now that terrible thing is happening right in front of my eyes. I feel like cowering.

　But Kayu pulls me by the hand and I join in the firefighting work. I pull water from the well and carry water from the river to try to put out the fire.

　--Unfortunately, the fire, which was a small spark, spread to the surrounding area and did not go out. This was probably due to the fact that there were many flammable things around us.

　The flames, which would not go out, created a tense atmosphere around us.

　What should we do?

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

　--This place is surrounded by forest. If the flames spread to the forest, it would be a disaster.

　--What can I do?

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

　What can I do to solve this situation?

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

　I prayed, even though I did not know if it would work.

　Mr. Doroian had told me that the wishes of a godchild are more likely to reach the gods. And that the gods could even manipulate the weather.

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

　--Then I would pray.

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

　--God. God of heaven, who watches over me.

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

　--Please give me the blessing of water to quench the fire.

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

　--I beg you.

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

　I just meditate, put my hands together, and pray.

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

　Kayu seemed surprised that I suddenly started praying, but said nothing.

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

　And my prayer seemed to have been heard.

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

　Rain started to fall in drops. The rain started to make a rumbling sound and got heavier and heavier.

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

　The rain fell not only on the area where the fire was burning, but over the entire village - well, even more than that, as clouds and rain poured down.

　In my vision, I saw the flames extinguished.

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

　I was relieved. --I was relieved - and at the same time, I felt a loss of strength.

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

　By the time I thought, "That's not right," it was too late.

Lerunda!

　I closed my eyes as I heard Kayu's worried voice rushing toward me.

That ......."

　When I woke up, I was tucked into bed in my own house.

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

　I wondered how it had happened, and remembered that it had rained on my prayer, and then I realized that I had passed out.

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

　I looked out the window and saw that it was still raining.

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

　I wonder if I haven't fallen down like this since the time I used sacred magic.

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

　The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you're doing.

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

　I feel as if I am running out of magic.

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

　I prayed and it rained. Maybe it consumes magic power to do so.

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

　While I was thinking about that, the door opened and Ran and Nilsi came in.

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

Lelunda!　You are awake. I'm so glad.

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

Here, drink this."

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

　Mr. Lan rushed to me and hugged me, which was good. Nilsi offers me a glass of fruit juice.

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

Thank you."

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

　I sipped the drink as I said that and let out a sigh.

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

'How did the fire go?

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

I sigh as I take a sip of my drink. It's already been raining for a few hours and it's still pouring. ...... The fire is still going on even though it has been raining for a couple of hours now.

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

　Lelunda, it is a wonderful discovery that Lelunda can make it rain this time. Still, I don't want her to do anything reckless.

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

　Lelunda may have prayed for rain to control the fire, but she should have considered the scope of the fire.

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

"Scope?"

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

Yes, that's right. Yes, in answer to Lerunda's prayer, rain did fall. Yes, in response to Lelunda's prayer, rain fell, but over a wide area. It rained throughout this entire forest, and it is still raining. And it's still coming down.

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

Is that so?

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

Yes. Yes, it is. So, Lelunda, the next time you pray to God like this, you should pray in a more specific area. Then, I am sure that Lerunda will not fall down.

　Ran-san patted my head as he said this.

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

I was very worried when I heard that you had fallen. Let's be careful not to fall down next time.

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

I'll be careful. I'll be careful.

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

Gaius and the others were also very worried. And Nilsi here, too.

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

　The first thing to do is to make sure that you have a good time. I also look at Ms. Nilsi. Nilsi turns away from me, saying something like, "It's natural to be worried when someone suddenly collapses.

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

Thank you for worrying about me, Mr. Nilsi."

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

　I smiled and said so, but he didn't look at me after all.

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

　I remembered that Mr. Lan had told me that I should try to spoil Nilsi as well, and I found myself saying, "Nilsi, cuddle me.

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

　I am going to grow up more.

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

　It might be the last time I can be hugged by Mr. Nilsi. I thought about that and wished she would hold me.

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

"Hold me?

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

That's nice. Nilsi-san has never held Lelunda before, has she? Lelunda just collapsed, so let's have Nilsi carry her and show everyone how healthy she is."

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

Nah, Lelunda!　What are you doing?

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

What are you deciding for yourself?　Lelunda looks so sad.

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

'...... I didn't say I wouldn't carry her, did I?

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

　Saying that, Mr. Nilsi carried me in his arms.

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

　And then he took me straight to the others.
