Chapter 84 2

Oscar, I think we're safe here.

With that, Cecilia turned around in front of the research building. She laughed as she stood against the tall building.

She smiled as she stood against the tall building, "Thanks for giving me a ride after all!

'No, I didn't do anything serious. No big deal. ...... More importantly, are you going to see Grace now?

Oh, yeah!　I just wanted to ask her something!

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

"Huh?　Why?

Cecilia's eyes widened and she twisted her head.

I'm sure you didn't prepare an answer to her question, but Oscar slurred his words, "No, ......," and dropped his gaze.

"Well. ...... Sorry, Oscar!　What I'm about to do with Grace is something I don't really want people to hear. ......

Is that something you don't want me to hear, too?

That's ....... Yeah, I'm sorry?

With an apologetic look and a small bow, Oscar nodded his head, "I see. But the expression on his face when he said that was strange, as if he had something caught in his back teeth.

(Oscar, what's wrong with me? ......)

I've been wondering what's going on with him. I've had a few awkward moments with Oscar in the past. But this is a little bit different than any of the other awkwardness we've had.

You know, Oscar, .......

I'm leaving then.

"Oh, ...... yes!

Oscar interrupted Cecilia's words and pointed his toes in the direction of home. I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've.

He looked down at her with a gentle gaze, as if he were looking at her sister or brother, "Make sure you get home before it gets too late.

"Oh, yeah. Thank you!　But I'll be fine!

Where the hell does your weird confidence come from? ......

In the event that you're not sure what to do, you'll be able to always ask for help.

I've been working out for a while now.　I'm not even sure if I'll be able to do it.

You, .......

And Gil's going to be there to pick us up!

............ Right.

After a strange pause, he nodded his head. I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it.

(Oscar looked like he wanted to say something. ...... Are you suspecting me of something?

I thought about it, but I couldn't think of anything that would make me suspicious. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on. That was Cecilia's conclusion.

(Well, there's no point in thinking about what you don't know!

I don't think about things I can't help thinking about. That was both her strength and her weakness.

Cecilia turned her back on Oscar as he left and looked up at the research building.

She stepped into the building where Grace would be, not realizing that Oscar was looking back at her.

... ◆◇◆

I wanted to ask Grace to tell me what to do about ......!

I'm sure you'll agree that the best solution is for you to become a godson.

I'm not sure if you're busy with your research or not. She seemed to be busy with her research, her hands were always working on something, and she didn't even look at Cecilia.

What was Cecilia's purpose for coming to see Grace?

Cecilia's purpose for coming to see Grace was, of course, to consult with her about her future plans after completing all the routes.

While the three candidates for the Divine Child are thinking, "I don't want to be a Divine Child," Cecilia has one of Gilbert's treasures. In other words, this means that Cecilia is the one who is closest to becoming a goddess right now, and a DEAD END in the name of BAD END is waiting for her.

Cecilia's face jumped up in defeat, and she once again pressed Grace, saying, "No!

No, no, no!　My life is at stake then!

"That's what the game says, isn't it?　It's a different scenario here. If you were to become a divine child, the story wouldn't necessarily work the same way, would it?

"That's true, but!　But that doesn't guarantee that the story will be different, does it?

Well, ...... that's true.

In her plausible reply, Grace let out a breath and finally looked at Cecilia.

She was still looking annoyed, but apparently she was ready to listen.

She poked her index finger at the tip of Cecilia's nose.

'For now, what is your most recent goal that is concrete? 'I don't want to become a godson' or 'I don't want to die' are the ultimate goals to aim for, right?　If you have a vague goal like that, we can't give you any advice.

"The most recent goal?

Yes. Please give us a concrete goal for the final goal. Then we can talk.

Cecilia wrinkled her brow at the scientist's typical methodical tone.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.

Can I ask you something?

Let's hear it.

I'd like to do something about the 'hindrance'. ......

This is something I've been thinking about for a while.

If you don't want to become a god child, you have to eliminate the source of what makes a god child a god child.

However, Cecilia didn't think it would be possible to eliminate such an unidentified organic or inorganic, living or dead thing. That's why I asked her if it was possible.

It's easy.

"What?

Cecilia blinked at Grace's words, thinking she would be denied of course.

It's easy then, you just have to join True Root.

"True root ......?

That should take care of the 'problem'.

So she pulled up her lips confidently.
