I Will Smash Everything With My Passive Skills - Chapter 70



070. Guest from the South (4)

Two men and women silently walking in stride are definitely a common sight in the academy.

It is a fairly obvious story that boys and girls of this age with fiery hearts in their prime meet eyes.

“… ….”

And that fact had enough weight to cause a big stir in Cecilia’s tender heart.

Cecilia hardly ever held hands on the subject of living together.

Quietly turning her head, she turned her head slightly to look at Veris.

Her existence alone is a gracious person to Cecilia. Even though they had been together for several months, her first date was the one that made her heart thump.

“I actually have something to say.”

“What is it?”

Berith’s head suddenly turned toward Cecilia. Cecilia, who secretly glanced at him, turned her head and looked in front of her, then answered her voice.

“As for this date, I actually want something.”

“I want…… Bar?”

“Yes. Demon Cult, I want Cecilia’s help in finding them.”

“I see! If that’s the case, just leave it to me!”

Cecilia nodded her head confidently.

Concerned that she might be disappointed in her heart, Veris let out a sigh of relief at the sight of Cecilia clenching her fist.

It was because she was uncomfortable with her young mind that she took Cecilia out after being coaxed into going on a date with her.

“Sorry.”

“Yes? Why are you apologizing?”

“That…… I know you’re looking forward to it.”

“Yes.”

Cecilia’s face turned red at Veris’ honest confession.

Well, the Veris that Cecilia knew was a quick-witted man. Didn’t he say the other day that he knew that Arwen and Cecilia had him in their hearts?

“Yeah, but I feel good just because Veris-nim relies on me, doesn’t it?”

Since Veris apologized first, it seemed that Cecilia couldn’t keep quiet.

She had difficulty expressing her true feelings.

“Yes, thank you for thinking that way.”

“Bye, don’t say anything….”

There was a quiet silence between the two.

Contrary to her usual light mood, Veris was clearly conscious of Cecilia, so Cecilia still felt like her eyes were spinning tight.

‘What should I do?’

She According to her own judgment, Berris was a broad-minded man. So, at times like this, isn’t there something he must do?

“Young couple there! Don’t awkwardly hang your head and walk around, why don’t you hold hands? Ha ha ha!”

“!”

Cecilia’s shoulders shook at the cry of her merchant as long as she correctly pointed out her own thoughts.

Stand tall.

Cecilia made a decision in a split second and stopped in place. When Veris looked at her without saying a word.

Cecilia mustered courage. She knows she too That a man like Berrys would have as many women as bees and butterflies flock to a flower.

That’s why.

“Cow, song. Hand.”

“Huh?”

“Hand…… Catch… please.”

Cecilia lowered her head with a blushing face and spoke softly. Thanks to that figure, Veris smiled and slowly held out her hand.

What does that mean?

A bright color appeared on the saintess’ face. Soon after, she wiggled her hand, and when she held her hand with her berrys, Cecilia couldn’t help but burst into a happy laugh thanks to the warmth she felt.

“Thank you.”

Cecilia managed to squeeze out the words in a voice like a rat crawling in.

It has a strangely sweet atmosphere. I felt the eyes of the merchants who sent a happy gaze around.

* * *

“…… Hmm?”

The priestess who closed her eyes tilted her head.

The reason she came here was simple. It was because there was an order from that high and noble person in the holy kingdom.

By the way.

“Saint Cecilia?”

Even with her eyes closed, she was looking at exactly one spot. It was physically inexplicable, but she turned her head toward Cecilia as if it was nothing to her.

“This is strange.”

The girl in her priestly uniform, her eyes closed, murmured.

She was also someone who knew her Saint Cecilia very well. That’s why it was awkward for Cecilia to wear her casual clothes and to smile happily while holding hands with a man whose name she didn’t know.

Thinking whether to approach her and talk to her, as she took a step forward, she shook her head.

Cecilia used to compete in good faith in the past. But now, she entered the academy with a sacred mission, not a person who traveled as an ordinary priest.

There was no time to leisurely share joy with Cecilia. Thinking so, she moved on her steps.

The place she was heading to was a party venue rental facility called ‘Hessen Party Hall’.

Even with her eyes closed, she passed through the maze-like alleys of the commercial district of the academy like a ghost, and soon arrived at her destination.

Kikkik!

When she opened her luxurious and large door, the scenery of the party hall, which was quiet because it was still broad daylight, greeted her.

“Welcome. It is a glorious day.”

“…… Nice to meet you.”

A girl who answers in a tone that feels hard. But the man in the black suit who greeted her first just bowed her head.

“I’m sorry for making you have to take a cumbersome step.”

“No. I was just given an assignment, and I am the one carrying it out.”

Her man seemed to be sorry for her girl’s candid answer, this time folding her waist up to her.

“How can you say that, great apostle?”

Apostle.

The mysterious words flowed from her man’s mouth.

“hehehe, so cute.”

Look at the cat wielding her cotton bat as if the golden energy that Cecilia had spread, that is, divine mana, was magical.

The cute little cat was swinging its thick white paws as if it didn’t know that it was a fact that it couldn’t be grasped with hands.

From noble mtl dot com

“That’s really cute.”

Berris, who had no special feelings for small animals, had no choice but to admit this time.

The creature in front of me is cute. Seeing the little guy vigorously swinging her front paws, and Cecilia controlling the warm mana to the beat, made it feel like a painting.

“By the way…… Would anyone really react to this?”

Cecilia, who had collected her mana and gently stroked her late cat, asked her a question.

Veris, who calmly watched the scene, came up with her answer after thinking for a while.

“Well, to tell you the truth, I am dubious.”

This is the current situation where Cecilia is manifesting her divine mana without hiding it. There was a possibility that the Devil Cult’s pitchers would suddenly pop out at any time, so Veris, who had been secretly shedding mana, made a cool judgement.

“Is that so? So, will we have no choice but to go around together?”

Cecilia’s excited voice sounds like she’s in a good mood, as if she’s forgotten the fact that she’s dangerous and becomes a bait herself.

To that innocent Cecilia’s question, Veris sighed lightly and answered.

“I guess so. Of course, if you don’t mind.”

“hehehe. If I’m with Veris-sama, anywhere is fine?”

“…… Okay.”

Veris was at a loss for words at Cecilia’s simple response. Who can question here.

Golgol-

“Actually, I was nervous at first.”

As if in a good mood, without stopping her hand stroking her cat rubbing her cheek, Cecilia slipped away.

It is the time when the sun that broke the son-in-law and the sunset encroached on it. She also had the time to make people emotional for no reason, so there was a strange sadness in Cecilia’s voice.

It’s her thin back no matter when you look at it again. However, on her small shoulders, there must be the expectation of a holy nation, and the followers of the continent who shudder in pain.

When I thought that, I suddenly felt that Cecilia was amazing.

“Yes.”

“Verys-sama…… He’s a very attractive person. If I just stay still because I’m embarrassed, there might not be much progress.”

“Yes.”

“This is a secret, but there were times when I secretly prayed in the middle of the night because I thought it would be nice if my feelings could be conveyed. Even several times.”

“… ….”

Has that ever happened?

She was completely unaware.

“So Veris told me and Arwen the other day…… When he told me that he didn’t hate you and that his heart was similar to yours, my heart really thumped.”

Before I knew it, Cecilia’s hand, which had been petting her cat, stopped.

The fair white hands of her trembling hands showed how much courage the words she was saying now served as foundations.

“And now…… Do you know how I feel?”

Cecilia, the saintess who squatted down and petted the cat, quietly rose from her seat.

Clear liquid formed in her eyes under her long eyelashes, facing Veris straight ahead.

But.

“I am happy. You asked me to go on a date with you. It had a different purpose, but I like it better. It means Veris-sama needed me.”

Surprisingly, when she said that, a warm smile hung on Cecilia’s lips, unlike the tears forming around her eyes.

It is said that the public calls Cecilia the saint of her benevolence.

Looking at her in her real life, even Verice, who didn’t really get what she said, she had no choice but to admit the truth.

“No matter what hardships and adversities come, I will stand by Veris-sama. I just made that decision.”

Boldly rubbing her eyes, Cecilia was looking at Berrys with her bright, benevolent smile.

Wouldn’t she be angry or sad? At first, she was Veris, who was afraid that she would think that she was taking advantage of her under the guise of a date.

But to my surprise, Cecilia was expressing her gratitude to Veris.

…… In a strangely ominous atmosphere.
