I follow the Pope. And then Mary follows behind me. The air is a little heavy after what happened in the room earlier.

　In the midst of it all, I was thinking. I'll never forgive Christina when she meets me in the doorway if I hurt her. Miss Merry asked me to leave before I hurt her. The Pope couldn't let her go alone.

　So the girl has some sort of problem with being a saint, huh? I don't know. Is she hugely overweight?　I wouldn't mind if it was that bad. I'll have to meet him for now.

　Thinking about it, I followed him.

Okay, here we are.

　And the Pope stops to say. 'You have a saint here.

'I've told Caro you're coming, Ray, so can you go in alone inside?　Mary's not allowed in there.

Okay, I understand.

　I'm going in alone... I'm nervous. Let's feed off of my previous fiancé encounters.

　With Alexia, Alexia came in after the audience was over, and at first I asked Zeke to duel her, but Zeke told me to do it, so me and Alexia had a duel, and he liked it.
　.... not helpful.

　With Ferris, I got slapped in the face as soon as we met. That's another thing I don't find helpful.

　Too bad. Let's go. As I stand in front of the room where the saint is said to be, I can feel Mary's eyes on me. I'm afraid. But I make up my mind to knock on the door. Then...

Come in.

　I can hear a beautiful voice that seems to echo. Then you open the door and walk in, and there it is.

I've been expecting you. Ravert Lanwalker.

　A girl as tall as me was standing there. The only thing that was unnatural was that she was hiding her face. She was wearing some kind of monastic uniform and hiding her face with a mask. Why is she doing this?

　I don't know if he knows I'm wondering, or if he knows because he gives me the same look every time.

Are you still curious?

'What?　Yes, of course it is.

　The saint laughs self-deprecatingly when I say that.

'I don't mind showing it to you, but if you break off the engagement after seeing this, your mother will be quite angry. So I think it would be better for me to tell her before she sees it, but what do you think?

'What are we going to do about it...'

　You can't just leave like this.

'We'll see. I don't care what happens to me.

Yeah. You won't regret it.

　When I answer, the saint gets a little angry vibe. Did I do something wrong?　Then the saint first takes off her nun's clothes, which cover her up to her head, only at the head.
　Then, from inside, a silky, shiny blonde hair comes out. The hair is long enough to reach the waist, and it sways smoothly whenever the saint shakes her head.

　Then the saint put her hand on the mask, and when she took it off, what appeared from inside was a beautiful face. She has a sharp atmosphere with a motherly slit in her eyes, but she has a beautiful face. And although his right eye is blue like his father's, his left eye is glowing with gold.

'How, it's weird, isn't it?'

　He says to me self-deprecatingly. I didn't understand what she was saying, so I tilted my head and the saintly woman tilted her head too.

''........?''

...?

　And as I tilted my head in the opposite direction, the saintly woman also tilted her head in the same direction to get there.

'........Say something!　I know you have something to say!　Creepy or a monster!　You're used to hearing it, so say it!

　When I was doing that, the saints got mad at me.

　I remind me of Mr. Merlin four years ago. Even back then, I had to quit my position as the head of the Magic Division because they just found out that my eyes were the wrong color. Now he's working in the frontier county territory, but he seems to be hiding it except when he's in the mansion.

　And I look at the saint. She must have had a hard time too. And I hear that Mr. Merlin was abandoned by his parents for that alone.

　The saint has been helped by her parents, but like he said earlier, she's probably had a lot of harsh words to say to people who look at her eyes.

　And moreover, the saint is known all over the continent, let alone the entire country. If such a child was known to have an odd eye, the popes who had hidden it would be exposed to problems. She must be feeling a pressure that would be too much for a normal child to bear.

　I can see the faintest hint of tears from her eyes. There's no way she's going to get used to that word, but she's so strong.

　I approach the saint in silence. She takes a step back every time I take a step closer.

'Hey, what!　Hey, say something!　What... what?

　And I hold her close. I know I shouldn't really, but I thought it was better to do this than to say something in words right now.

'Like I said at the beginning, I don't care. So you don't have to hide it in front of me either. You don't have to hold back anymore.

　Then I hug her tightly. The saint trembled, but she gradually moved her hands to my waist.

　You don't have to put up with it.

Yeah.

　And then the saint buried her face in my chest and cried out in a voice that I couldn't speak. All I could do was stroke her head.

　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.

　After a few minutes of crying, the saint stopped crying and sat down on the couch in this room and sat me down facing her. At that time, her face was as red as a boiled octopus. I'm embarrassed to see a face like that.

".........

....

　...this time of silence is hard. We should say something. I mean, I guess in a situation like this, you'd have to ask about their interests?　What's your favorite thing to do?　Oh, I don't know!　While I was struggling with my own problems, the saintly woman spoke to me on the sidelines.

''Ha, I'm so embarrassed to show you. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Caroline Arcadia. I'm sure everyone around me knows me, but they call me a saint.

Yes, my name is Ravert Lanwalker.

　I introduce myself and Caroline chuckles at me. What?

'Huh, you don't have to be so formal. Just give me that crushed look you gave me. You can call me Caro.

　Caro smiles at me when she says that. Yeah, she's cute. It's a different kind of cuteness from Alexia and Ferris and the others. It's beautiful, like a completed doll with an expression.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. So what do we do now?

'Yes. Are you sure you're good?　I'm the one with these eyes.

'As I keep saying, I don't care. I have a friend who does. I just think those clear blue eyes, those golden eyes that light up everything, are beautiful.

Yeah, yeah...

　When I say that, she turns her face down and turns bright red. People call me a saint, but I'm still one girl.

'My eyes,'

Hmm?

　Caro suddenly speaks up. Is there a reason for those eyes?

It's because of the goddess' blessing. It's because of the goddess's blessing, and the skill is called 'divine eye'. That skill is called the "divine eye", which is this left eye.
　Depending on the amount of magic, you can see far away, regardless of distance, see your opponent's status, and see the past and future. I've never used it because it requires too much magic power.

　Caro laughs. Huh, that's great. Not only can you see into the distance, but you can also see into the status and even the past and future on top of that. It seems that you need magic power for that, but that's just plain amazing.

Also, there's another skill with an ability called 'cliff'.

　A cliff. I look at Caro's chest-sama. Then a cushion flies in front of me and hits me in the face.

"Guffaw!

I'll never forgive you if you do that again!

　I look at Caro and she glares at me, hiding her chest with tears in her eyes. 'You've been paying attention.

'Right, so that 'precipice' is your other ability?

'Yes, it protects us from anything malevolent. Physics, magic, poison, everything. It protects me in an always-activated way. The one that held me just now, if you had any evil thoughts, it would have been activated.

　That was a close one. But it's still an amazing ability. Preventing all kinds of things?

''I can expand my range by adding magic power, and if I work hard now, I can surround the Papal States.

　All I can say is that it's great. But is it okay to talk to me that much? I only just met him today. Caro knows I'm thinking it, and she speaks up.

'It's okay. You're going to be engaged to me, right?　Then there's no need to hide it.

　I blush and say so. Then I'll tell you.
