1 Episode 1 Oracle Ceremony






It's an oracle today, Lelius.

 With that voice, my childhood friend - Lynn - shook me.
 When I lightly opened my eyes, a pretty girl was there.

 She was fifteen years old, the same age as me. Her slightly thinner red hair was trimmed around her shoulders.
 She was looking at me in a teasing tone.
 I turn over to ignore Lynn's words, still wanting to sleep in bed.

'Let me sleep some more,'
Shit! If you don't hurry, you won't be able to attend the oracle!

 There's no need to rush. So there's no need to be in such a hurry.
 Besides, the church is crowded from the morning because everyone is waiting for today.

 It's just that it's a little less crowded in the afternoon.
 When I turned my back to her, Lynn stopped moving.
 She seems to have given up. The next time I thought I was going to sleep until the afternoon, Lynne came in when I slipped into bed.

"...Hey. Why do you have to come in too?
Because Lelius looks so good asleep, and I just want to lie down.

 Lynn smiled happily and squeezed me into a hug.
 I was more than a little nervous at the unexpected behavior.

 Totally.

'Okay, okay, okay. I'm up now.
Yeah. Good.

 Lynn smiles at me, then gets up from the bed.
 I adjust my clothes and check in the mirror in my room.
 I left the room and went downstairs.

 Lynn was there, of course. She was at the door, ready to leave at any moment.
 Lynne's father and mother were working in the dining room. Lynn's father, who had glanced at me, noticed me and came over to me.

"Oh, Lelius," he said, "it's time for the oracle. Today is the day for the oracle.
Yeah, well,
I hope you get some good skills and an artifact, Relius.
Well yes. Hallelujah, I hope it's not.
Well, well. I'm sure God is watching you. You'll be fine.

 Ton, he pushed me back.
 I nodded to him once and then headed for the front door where Lynn was waiting.
 I walked out with her.
 The city is completely buzzing.

 The oracle ceremony only happens once a year. On that day, the divine world where God lives is closest to earth.
 And God gives power to the children who have passed the age of fifteen.

 That's what God will give them: divine instruments and vocations.
 First of all, every child is given a divine tool, a weapon created by God.
 If they are lucky, they will be given a profession as well.

 Depending on the power given to them, they could even become very rich in the future.
 Lynn, who was walking next to me, looked at me.

"What kind of powers does Lelius want?
Yeah. At the very least, a knight, a swordsman, a fighter, something like that. How about you, Lynn?
Fighting. Fighting, yeah. I'm not really into that kind of thing. I'm an innkeeper, so if you have the ability to understand the feelings of the guests, you'll be able to make an even better innkeeper than you already are!
'Ah, I see.'
But did Relius want to be an adventurer?
Yes, he did. Yeah, I want to be able to protect something important from those demons.
Yeah, I know.

 Lynn lowered her gaze a bit.
 ........I've said some bad things.
 My parents were killed by a demon and died about five years ago.

 I had been picked up by Lin's house, who was a good friend of mine.
 That's why I want the power to be able to live without bothering anyone.

 Ideally, it would be a divine weapon and a profession.
 At worst, I'd like to have only good divine instruments.



 There was a huge line in the church.
 All the kids in line were about our age.

 Occasionally, some of the kids are a little bigger than us. Maybe they couldn't participate in last year's oracle ceremony.
 As we stood in that line, we watched the entrance to the church approach little by little.

 Our turn comes closer.
 We could see the installed divine stones and hear the joy and sorrow of the people who had received the oracle.

Wow, my artifacts are so dangerous. And I don't have a job...
'Yay! I'm a Fireblade, the same divine weapon as a knight who was active a hundred years ago!

 .........I like it, I think while looking at the person in front of me.
 It's as if a famous divine weapon is promised to be active in its own right.

''Next children, three of you. Please stand in front of the divine stone over here.''

 The churchman said so, and me and Lynn went forward in line.
 I hope there will be good divine instruments and professions.
 ........I've been looking at it for a long time, but no child has been given both a divine weapon and a profession for a while.

 It should be good to get out by now.
 With that in mind, I turned my hand to the divine stone, which was bigger than me.

 Immediately a letter appeared.
 I was excited, but I was distracted by the excitement next to me.


''This kid's divine weapon and profession is just the most powerful!

 Next to him is Linh.
 You can't help but look at them.

A weapon, Excalibur and a job as a hero...?

 What a combination. The combination is something that anyone who has ever researched the oracle ritual knows about.
 Once, the most powerful knight in this empire. It is said that no one else has ever been able to match him, and yet he had this combination of the two.

 And the one I wanted most.
 That's right, my divine weapon and my profession are already out there too!

 If Linn is the jackpot, then surely I will be too--!
 With that thought, I looked up and saw the worst of the characters.

 The Divine Weapon: Create Hammer.
 Occupation: 'Blacksmith'

 All people are given weapons by God in this world, a profession that is considered the least necessary.
 Even divine weapons were given to all blacksmiths.
