After the girl left the room, ‘he’ sighed deeply, all alone.
– No, he didn’t even have a mouth to sigh in his current existence.
He was said to sigh for the sake of the vestiges of his former self’s body.
A dark room where sunlight didn’t pass through.
He completely understood how disgusting his squirming body was.
– It had been a while since he last talked to a person.
All the humans who appeared here until now had shrieked and fled with just a word from him.
He forgot how many decades it had been since the last time he had a conversation like that.
It was fun. He honestly thought so.
At the same time, he could keenly feel the coldness of the room after she left.
– If he was a human, this emotion would probably be equated to ‘loneliness’.
He was already tired of all the jeers and stones thrown towards him.
It was a place so dark there was no difference between night and day.
A room no one would visit.
He didn’t have the slightest desire to be furious at the people who didn’t take him into consideration.
Meanwhile, his body became swollen from all the impurities he had accumulated.
“ – Is it really fine to let that girl go?”
He suddenly heard a respectful voice from within the darkness.
He didn’t even have eyes so he couldn’t see his appearance, but he knew who it was.
It was not a person.
It was one of the deities protecting the country.
“That girl won’t return anyway. In the first place, that girl herself was a substitute for the Saintess…Claiming to be a Saintess yet she didn’t even show her face, but sent a substitute! How could you forgive such insolence!!”
"
"
“It can’t be helped. I cannot force her. I don’t even have power for that.”
“If your divine self wished for it, the other deities would also rise! Let us mete out punishment unto those bastards of the Shrine! Annihilate every single one of them without exception and sear your greatness into the people’s consciousness!”
He bitterly smiled upon hearing the passionate voice of the deity.
This deity was supposed to protect the people, yet the words he said were absolutely the opposite.
“I am not valuable enough to do that, no? Losing my memories, forgetting my former appearance; I couldn’t even recall who I was… Now, I am an existence that does not even understand why I am a deity.”
“Your divine self…. accumulated too much impurities from the humans…. If there is a Saintess beside you, then your divine self’s defilement should have been purified! Amalda, that girl!”
The sound of grinding teeth could be heard.
However, the current him couldn’t understand this deity’s indignation on his behalf.
“ Declining your divine self because she was chosen by the Supreme God! Is there a more blatant lie than this! As if that ‘doll’ could choose a Saintess!!”
After he was done venting, the deity sighed deeply.
He must have felt a little better after that.
His fury did not abate – but his voice became somewhat calmer.
“… Your divine self does not have much time left. Because of all the filth you had accumulated, it is only a matter of time before you fall into becoming an evil deity.”
He smiled a bit at this deity who was truly concerned for him, even though he didn’t even know his name.
Even though he had fallen into this state of filth, this deity did not abandon him.
However –
“Before that, we must choose a new Saintess. We have to hurry. This time, let us urge them to prepare a person who is pure in heart.”
“………”
He could only respond with a painful reticence towards the deity’s words.
He was fully aware that his time was running out.
Besides, even if somebody came, she couldn’t save him.
Just like that girl earlier, she would escape, never to return once again.
The emptiness of ‘loneliness’ sprouted in his heart.
The filthiness started to cover his heart. At that time –-
“Aah! So heavvyyy!! Why does this place have to be in such a remote place in the Shrine!!!”
He stared at the figure of the girl who supposedly left a while ago, and she was swinging a huge luggage when she returned.
