Chapter 19 – The Goddess’ Thesis
“A…… Aaa……”
She is healed. Mother’s life point that has been dropped to 0 is returning back to 1……
Mother is alive. A tinge of red is returning to her cheek and her chest starts moving up and down peacefully again.
Everyone present could only gulped down a large amount of air and then fall silent. The one who is closest to mother, father Ricardo, is trying to check whether she is still alive or not and after confirming her breathing and pulse, large grain of tears start falling down on his cheek.
“…… Remilia…… Ahh…… Remilia is…… Remilia is still alive…… alive……”
“Goddess, I beg for your mercy…… grant us with your healing light to lift all of our pain as all we hope are your gentle pardon for our sin” (Eros: I took many liberty translating this)
Sarasa-san immediately cast high grade healing magic to my mother who just resurrected back to life. Elixir should’ve fully healed her but seems like it is losing its effect after resurrecting mother’s life back…… But thanks to Sarasa-san’s healing magic, I can’t feel the presence of death from my mother anymore.
“Remilia…… You stupid! Don’t scare me like that…… I thought that you’re gonna die!”
“Thank god…… Remilia…… Really…… I’m glad……”
Monica-san and two other trio clings to my mother body and cried. While the other trio from the knight brigade also couldn’t stop their tears from free falling from their eyes.
“Hauu~…… I… I can’t…… I can’t hold it anymore…… Uwaaan!”
“M-Mar-san, don’t act like a child…… and Filianes-sama also……”
Mar-san and Aletta-san is crying loudly. Even Filianes-san is also doing the same……
“Hic…… Hiroto…… your mother…… Remilia-sama is saved…… that is great…… truly great……”
Even without activating my Charm skill, Sarasa-san affection level to me still stays in the highest level.
Her feeling toward me is at the same level with her feeling toward Haynes-san or might even be higher. If she thinks that her feeling toward me is a betrayal toward Haynes-san then…… I really have been tormenting her for a long time.
And with that, I am yet again going to conduct another sin. The Slave’s Choker that I receive from Sarasa-san will be…… used for her daughter, Riona.
If Riona gives her consent then her job will change into a Slave.
If that could actually happen then her job would no longer be [Child of Destruction] any longer. And her fate as the reincarnation of the demon lord could be postponed until a later dates when I already have enough power to protect her from everything.
If this method fails then…… I would do anything to save her.
I don’t do this just because she is sacrificing herself to save me…… that is not the only reason I have.
It is just because I purely want to save her. I want her to live normally as a human. That is my biggest and most important reason there is.
“…… I will put on that choker to Riona. If you agree with that, then please hand it over to me”
“…… If that really do save her then, I will believe you. I will believe Hiroto-chan…… because I have decided to do so from the start”
Sarasa-san finally gives out a smile. And that smile is not one from giving up or being irresponsible either.
‘Slave’s Choker is an important item to save Riona’ just who else would believe that kind of foolish stories? But Sarasa-san believes in me. She believe in me without any shred of doubt whatsoever.
The money I put inside my inventory has mostly gone in order to [Purchase] Sarasa-san. I even do it without any slight of hesitation. Even if the system calls it as an act to [Purchase], for me, it will be an act of [Liberating]. I don’t know where the vanishing gold coins gone to, maybe it has gone into the goddess’ wallet ---- I can’t help but think about such sarcasm now. Well, perhaps the money has gone to the black magician that made Sarasa-san a slave. Who knows? Anyway, such things aren’t important right now.
After the choker got taken off from Sarasa-san’s neck, a trace of red marks can be seen on her white skin. When that mark gone forever from her neck, would she be able to smile even brighter than today? …… Would she return to the original her?
“…… Please take care of the girl. I will be waiting in the house for her return”
“Yeah, I will definitely bring her back. I will bring Riona back to return to this home”
