449 Boys, Part 20 - Consideration

"So, Priest, may I ask you one question?"

"Fine. Ask me what it is."

"How did you get their escort in? We were together until we were on our way out, but they weren't there when we realized. It was really creepy, to be honest, with all the freaks in the atmosphere."

"The way I embraced it is a secret, but let me tell you it's a private connection. When you live to this age, you get to know a lot more people."

"Is it Master Left? That's right. Those who target the Archbishop of Arnelia have a wide face. I've missed you."

When Obles graces him, he tries to leave the room intact. The word was now thrown at him from the glass live.

"When someone like me becomes archbishop, is there a problem?

"No, I won't say that... but honestly, I don't want to be involved with you. So, if you're going back to Arnelia, we're thinking about going to a completely different land away."

To the clearly stated obres, Glass Live replied with the same smile as usual.

"Hehe, he's an honest kid. I like that about you. [M] Don't worry, you're already old enough to get out of my interest. I still like you as a human being, and I can train you to be a knight in Arnelia if you want to, but you can't."

"Yes, because I think I'm a rooted merchant"

"I guess, very much so. You're a highly calculated person. If you want to accomplish your goals, you can push your emotions to death. I wasn't good in the old days, though. You used to stare at me like you could kill me, right there."

The glass live pointed to the bed that looked beyond the half-open door. The sheets there are disturbed and the hemp rope is still on its pillow. Obles' face turns bright blue when he sees it. Glass Live continued pale as Obres became nauseous and dizzy.

"You were, to me, a chicken laying golden eggs. It's hard for you to leave, but there's no other way. You have paid enough. [M] He has become my limb and stood at the negotiating table, still offering wonderful children like Saul and Layer.

That's why it's the last time I make this payment. I'll also help you lend the soldiers this time, give you their assets, and get you out of this country. It's the last time you pay for it. "

"... what the hell do you want?

Saul, Layer, and Elsia.

Through the bright blue to that word, obles losing complexion. His knees grinned, and his lips trembled in defiance. I'm speechless even when I'm about to speak up.

Obles did not know what he had been told and asked Glass Live again.

"Priest, now... what?

"Saul, Layer, and Elsia told me to leave. I don't know what to say. They'll love living here, too, and nothing tells them to stay here for the rest of their lives. Until I lose interest in them, or you find a replacement. I can arrange for you to take care of him afterwards, or I can let you go after him if you want."

"No, but it is."

"I won't make you say no, Obres. You must have been silent on Saul and on layers. [M] And even before that. Elsia alone, I don't know what else to say now. Or are you the hypocrite who has sacrificed so much?"

I turned down with my eyes open to the word of the priest, and spinning my mouth, Obles. The opposite glasses live without any doubt about how Obres looks.

"Not so serious as to think about it, Obres. It's a year or so at best. Now is exactly the time they try to blossom on their own. But I'm not interested in blooming flowers. As you know, I like to force blooming petals to open.

You think you're touching me? As much as I know it's not a complimented hobby, this is what I am. I couldn't change how, could I? Once upon a time there was a pilgrimage Sister who gave a speech in front of a large crowd when I was young, but her speech was brilliant. Even if I'm not interested in blooming flowers, she's the only thing I thought was beautiful. That's what she said. It is foolish as a man to lose sight of his own essence.

After that I seemed to wake up. I was able to enter more enthusiastically into my work than before, and endure all sorts of hardships. She would be as old as I am if she were alive, but I guess she lost her life in the midst of a pilgrimage than her position revealed her existence as the one above me. I wanted to take the time to discuss it with you and Sister once, but I'm very sorry. "

Glass Clive's monologue is no longer in Obles' ears from the middle of nowhere. No, maybe it doesn't matter to Glass Clive, like whether Obles is listening or not. He goes on and on.

"Anyway, it's not against what I say. Have you ever done anything good against what I say? There won't be.

I can monitor you for the rest of my life if I want to. [M] Nobody cares if one of these vagrants goes missing. You kicked my suggestion against me for offering you the way of the future. But the paths people follow vary. I know that well with me, so I'm going to open up after I've given you enough money. Isn't this some kind of breakthrough? What more do you want?

Again, think well. Get a lifetime of freedom or spend the rest of your life staring at me. I can't even think about which is a better life. That just gives one girl a year or so of her life, and everyone gets their share of freedom. This is not even a problem that can be put on the scale from the start. Because the answer is clear.

You'll know better too. There must be happiness without sacrifice. I'm not a ghost either. I'm not telling you to make up your mind right now, so think about it for a day. I told him I'd be back here tomorrow night. You're a highly calculated merchant, I'm sure you know which one to get. I'm waiting for a good reply. "

When he heard the words, Obles fluttered out of the room as if he were a ghost. I also feel like the glass live face I left behind was still smiling, but I don't even care anymore. Obles walked out into the back alley one night as he distracted his people surrounding him worryingly.

"Oh, my God... Elsia"

I didn't realize Obres was in a state of relaxation. That there was someone watching over him softly. And discussions with Glass Clive, too, that someone was eavesdropping on them.

Obles just wandered through the evening Bünsnell, heading east of town to take command of the future.
