374 Test of Love

"Yeah, I thought I'd greet you today in relation to Mr. Luiseine..."

Earlier, face-to-face, I got an admissible statement from Luiseine's parents. But like when Yufi and Nina do, you have to talk to me properly in these cases.

So.

Again, let me introduce myself.

We sit in each other's reception room chairs facing each other and exchange greetings.

Luiseine's parents, they knew but they were clergy.

His mother's name is Mr. Lisene. Originally a superior warrior witch of the Great Temple, the treatment of the sword seems to be more than Luiseine. She was the witch I helped before. [M]

His father is Mr. Louis. He was a cleric striving for a small temple that was raided by demons, and since his marriage, he had been involved in running the small temple with Mr. Lisene. He works in a small temple in a different neighborhood than the school we attend, but this is where he lived.

The two look around forty years old. The wrinkles engraved on his face and neck gave the two of them a calm look in a good way.

Lisene and Louis were listening to me with a smile on their face. The smile is very similar to that of Louiseine. I wonder if Louiseine's hair color is conceded by her mother and her eyes and nose look like her father's. Oh, my God, I can afford to observe it as I say hello.

Because every time I say something, he snorts at me with a full affirmative grin.

Because you're the priest's parents, tough guy?

Yeah, I'm not. He's a priest, so he's such a sweet, healing parent.

The kindness of Louiseine was brought up so dearly by these two.

Luiseine, too, was tense at first to make her face strong, but her expression was starting to loosen with her parents' soft smiles.

"Elnea, your feelings and readiness have been well conveyed."

"Thank you so much for choosing our daughter"

Ms Lisene and Mr Louis took my hand and were delighted with the tears.

Luiseine also puts her hand on it, and the four of us shake hands firmly.

Out of the blue, my greeting on the marriage application went so far.

There is no opposition between Mr. Lisene and Mr. Louis, and they blossom in bickering in a soothing atmosphere.

He talks about school and his life at Dragon Peak while drinking tea in the reception room.

They were surprised to hear from herself that Luiseine had been secretly living on Dragon Peak for a year. You were surprised once more to hear from me that you were getting along with Dragons and Dragons and not just Ear Elders and Warcraft.

"Thanks to Luiseine and Ernea for your bond with Dragon Peak, this country was protected from the Demons."

"Is everything guided by the Goddess?"

We're not the only ones, and there's a lot of cooperation from other races who don't believe in the goddess of creation. What talk made me unnecessarily impressed with the young but splendid way of thinking, or not just with values biased against faith.

"But I'm relieved. I didn't care what I'd do if they disagreed."

"It's just a lie. You slept well today, didn't you?

"No, I'm not. I talked to my parents last night."

"Priscia was dishonest."

"Yeah, it always seemed the same in the morning,"

"How much do you think we've had a hard time? Ares won't even show up without you, Ernea."

"I was in the same house, so I thought maybe if I called, I'd come out."

I wonder if Priscia just pretended to be infidel and played as much as she wanted. It would have been more fun if I called Ares, but I couldn't play with her because the grumpy pretense wouldn't work?

Mm-hmm. Priscia's quite a schemer, too.

When me and Louiseine were laughing, Mr. Lisene and Mr. Louis were also looking at this one and smiling.

"I'm relieved. We know exactly how we trust each other."

"If it's a terrible pavilion leader, I thought I'd do it right for once."

"Eh. Are you kidding me? Instead of being the pavilion leader, I'm just laying on everyone's ass and feeling sorry for them."

"Ha. It's as good as being laid on your ass. The temple is a society of witches, but it's better to be respectful of women and to be molested."

"I will remember Louis' words, and his liver."

"You. It's good to get along with a witch, but aren't you spoiling the new American child too much?

"Lisene, what are you talking about? That's not true."

Hi, it looks like Mr. Louis is laid on Mr. Lisene's ass, too. Now me and Louiseine laugh at the interaction between Mr. Lisene and Mr. Louis.

I feel like we're in love with each other because of how friendly we are.

Mr. Louis knew because he was trapped with a sense of sadness in his arms over Mr. Lisene, who had been fatally wounded by the Demon Clan, but Mr. Lisene seemed to think firmly of Mr. Louis as well. I want to be friends and love each other all the time, even when we're older.

As he spoke soothingly, someone knocked on the door of the reception room from the outside.

I don't know, me and Louiseine looking at each other.

"Apparently, it's time"

"Looks like the braves have arrived."

I wonder what that means.

Until earlier, the faces of Lisene and Louis, who had a soothing smile on their faces, were tight.

"Shall I go with you?"

"Yeah, where is it?

"I know you do, but if you marry a clergyman, if you have more than one partner, you have a trial. If you can't get over it, you, brave men, royalty and the same priesthood will never be recognized."

Yes, it was.

Luiseine's greeting to her parents allowed her to proceed safely without any problems.

But apart from that, you need permission from the temple, right?

Not even Listeir, who had indicated his willingness to marry early, has yet been recognised. That's all the temple side is strictly disciplined. There is no such thing as an exception because of who it is, or easing it in view of its track record. In accordance with the commandments of the temple, the temple walks its own world without being bound by country, status or power.

If more than one companion includes a priest, you have to accept these strict commandments.

Slight tensions and fun times are over, switching to a harsh atmosphere.

Me and Louiseine re-tighten their minds, too, and leave the reception room at the lead of Mr. Lisene and Mr. Louis. Then we moved to another location.

Moved further behind the long house where witches and clerics are sleeping. It was just a little splendid, but it was a magnificently decorated building.

"This is the building where the witch's head will live."

Luiseine told me as I walked next door.

Apparently, the trials imposed on us are given directly by the representative of the clergy of this country, the witch head of the Great Temple of King Armuard.

Before traveling. I saw the witch-head in the New Years divinity. That wasn't when it started, but I still remember vividly that she was a merciful old woman.

Speaking of witch heads, you remind me of Madrine of the kingdom of Yortenitos, don't you? That one was a lot of fun with Yuffi and Nina's people, but I wonder what this witch-head looks like.

Enter the building as you are led, and also enter the reception room here.

Then, three familiar faces and two pairs of men and women I didn't know were already waiting.

The face I saw is the brave Listeir and the witch Keeli and Inea.

Maybe the two men and women are Keeli and Inea's parents.

Listeers who had arrived in the room earlier were also waiting with a tense face.

"Thank you for waiting. Witch-head Yashra."

And we'll all wait for a while. An elderly woman came into the room, drawn by a rich haired witch.

We are all welcome in a polite bow.

"Thank you for taking the time to come here today"

The witch-head, Master Yashra, also bows his head deeply and returns his greetings. When I drool my neck, my hair is long enough to touch the floor.

The clergyman stretches his hair. The more superior you become, the more you honor your long hair. I've heard from Louiseine before that conditions for senior positions include stretching your hair beyond your shoulders. Not only were women, but men also stretched their hair saying they were senior clerics.

Encouraged, we sit on prepared benches for each family.

Listea, Keeli and Inea sit in the bench together. Me and Louiseine are in the bench next door. Keeli, Inea and Louiseine's parents sit in the chair behind us.

Face-to-face, three witches and one cleric sat around the witch-headed Yashra.

"Either of you on either side of Master Yashra is the next witch-head. The man is the chief cleric."

Luiseine taught me in my ear.

Apparently, there's a whole bunch of people in the compiler of temple religions.

Me and Listeer have a nervous gaze at each other.

Looks like Listeer doesn't know about the trial either.

What I know about it are the witches Keeli, Inea and Luiseine. And it seems to be just those parents.

Me and Listea's parents have not been summoned. I wonder if our parents were not summoned because this is only a trial with the priests.

Master Yashra sees us all in slow motion. And he said something horrible with a gentle voice.

"As a temple religion, we do not acknowledge having more than one partner. But we are men. Nor can you ignore the thoughts and feelings you love. However, there are limited ways to confirm that readiness from others. So I'm going to ask you to take one test. With it, I will determine the depth and readiness of your love."

Never, not a tough look. Either that or merciful atmosphere of forgiveness for everything, but the words spoken were only harsh.

"I don't know what to say from myself giving out trials. Let me be clear in advance. Because your lives are more important than anything else."

Put it down for a beat, Master Yashra said.

"No one has come back beyond this trial alone. Whether you're a prince or a famous adventurer. So think hard again. with your family and other partners."

A trial you'll never achieve. It sounded like a sailor-like trial, but one that sounded many times tougher as a temple religion rather than a personal one.

"You will be asked to go north, acting separately from other partners and companions"

"Master Yashra. What should we do when we go north?"

Lady Yashra nods deeply to Listeer's question.

"I only admit to acting with my priestly companions, and the five brave men and saviours. And in the land of the north you will pick the flowers of the full moon."

"Full moon flowers?

To the name of a flower I have never heard of, I lean my neck. Listeer had opened her eyes and was out of time.

"A full moon flower is a legendary flower that the goddess is said to have loved. But… it's the kind of legendary flower that appears in fairy tales and so on, but it's said that no one has actually seen the flowers alone."

"What..."

A flower that appears in a fairy tale, but possibly doesn't exist?

Do I have to go to the North to find the flowers? I mean, nobody's ever seen it, which means they've never even actually found it in bloom, have they? I wonder why I have to go to a designated place called the North Land to pick such flowers.

What is the land of the north? That is. A hunting ground for flying dragons, extending into the northern part of the King's capital of the kingdom of Armuard. I think it's about the unexplored land that extends further north.

Therefore, why does the trial refer to the land?

It was a proclamation that created a great mystery, along with the desperate trial content of Master Yashra.
