《Kyrie Side》
ㅤ
The next day, we left the city of Fefki, heading towards Lake Manaka.
Trudging, trudging. . . . . .I ride on Kumakichi-kun’s back as he walks.
ㅤ
『Big Sister, what are we doing today?』
“We’re going to Lake Manaka to help the Trolls.”
ㅤ
Decker-chan’s companions, the trolls, have their stronghold around Lake Manaka.
It seems they too have been victimized by Rotten Princess.
ㅤ
『Are we going to help the trolls? Mom said they’re huge, scary monsters!』
ㅤ
Decker-chan hears that and lowers her face, looking sad.
It must hurt. It’s like having your family insulted.
ㅤ
But. . . . . .not talking back might be because that’s just one side of her.
But it’s painful for me to see a child looking so sad.
ㅤ
I say to Kumakichi-kun,
ㅤ
“Don’t judge so quickly. Humans and monsters are the same. Not everyone is bad, right?”
『I see. . . . . .Big Sister Kyrie is like that, after all. Humans are scary though.』
“Thank you. Decker-chan is kind, and there must be nice trolls too, right?”
ㅤ
I smile at Decker-chan. She slowly. . . . . .tears up and nods repeatedly.
ㅤ
“That’s right! They might be a bit hot-headed and violent, but still.”
ㅤ
Yeah, that’s true.
ㅤ
“There’s no such thing as a bad person in this world. People just have a bad side, and it happens to be more visible.”
“However. . . . . .Miss Kyrie.”
ㅤ
Mr. Gankoji comes closer and says,
ㅤ
“What about Rotten Princess? She has unjustly taken over the country?”
“That might be. . . . . .because of some reason. We won’t know unless we talk.”
“What if she really is a villain, with no room for sympathy?”
“Then. . . . . .we’ll preach.”
ㅤ
I don’t want to believe that there are evil people in this world.
But sometimes, there are those who unjustly hurt others.
ㅤ
Preaching the teachings of God to such people is the job of us, the women who serve God.
ㅤ
“If we can make her listen to the sermon, she’ll surely repent.”
『I wonder. . . . . .Hey, Big Sister! I can see the lake!』
From the hill where we are, we could see a large lake.
But. . . . . .
ㅤ
『Phew. . . . . .it’s dirty』『So filthy』
ㅤ
Guu-chan in my arms, and Sura-chan on my head, both make a face.
Just as they say, the lake is rotten.
ㅤ
Bubbles are popping on the surface. . . . . .releasing a foul-smelling gas.
ㅤ
“Has it always been like this, Decker-chan?”
ㅤ
I decided to ask the ex-troll girl.
ㅤ
“No, Kyrie-sama. That lake used to be so beautiful, abundant with fish, our food supply. But. . . . . .since Rotten Princess came. . . . . .”
ㅤ
It seems Lake Manaka became like this. . . . . .because of Rotten Princess.
. . . . . .Rotten Princess.
ㅤ
Why can she do such terrible things so easily?
Despite it being Troll-san’s precious lake. . . . . .
“We must preach God’s teachings soon.”
ㅤ
So she doesn’t do more harm.
ㅤ
“But first. . . . . .we have to clean Lake Manaka.”
ㅤ
I close my eyes and pray.
ㅤ
『『『Look out! Kyrie Flash!』』』
“Eh?”
ㅤ
Before the prayer was finished. . . . . .
The lake was purified!
ㅤ
Ah, what’s that?. . . . . .
Oh, that’s strange. . . . . .I haven’t finished praying yet. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Oh, is that so! As expected of Noir-sama! He sensed my intention to pray and purified it before I could finish!”
『『『No, that’s not it』』』
“That’s how it is. Noir-sama is amazing after all.”
