79.2 Monologue of A Certain Capture Target－Blue－===
◇
Inside the shaking carriage, I couldn’t help but to keep wondering. Why was there no sign in me awakening as the Six Gods?
I recalled what happened that day; the day the two stupid couple got engaged. On that day, the barrier across the kingdom was enhanced.
According to my father, who wanted to attend the ceremony to the point of plundering the presider job from the other priest who was supposed to do that for them that day, all magical power blessed the two which was really surprising.
Honestly, I had no idea what in the world was he talking about. Especially when he then said it was impossible for me.
“That is still too difficult for the current you because that was the blessing of the magical power for them. Given by the spirit because they’re more innocent and true to their own feeling— Really, you should be honest about your feeling a little bit. After all, you might not be able to see what you’re supposed to see if you keep doing your usual word game.”
That’s none of your business, thank you. Besides, you also love to do that so-called ‘word game’, Father.
“However, the spirit might eventually understand your intention if you keep speaking your contradictory remarks. Now, I won’t tell you to do your best, but I think you should start with trying to face your own magical power … though that might sound too difficult for you too right now.”
In the end, what I could conclude was that not even my father understand that phenomenon.
Be more honest, he say? Hah! Look at yourself first, will you? Telling me to be more honest when I speak to others even though he himself often speak harsh remarks to others…. A~h, this matter really pissed me off.
“Bunya~.”
“Eh? Cat?! The fatty cat from before?!”
The fat cat, who was supposed to be in the cat cafe, was currently snuggled by my side in my carriage at this time.
“WAIT A MINUTE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! ARE YOU SECRETLY FOLLOWING ME?!”
“Bunya~”
When I raised my voice, the fatty cat swung its tail around, as if whipping my a*ss. At the same time, he also stared straight into my eyes, as if telling me to go back to the cafe immediately.
“THEODORE! TRAIN YOUR CATS PROPERLY DAMMIT!!!”
Once again, I reiterated. This matter really pissed me off.

When I returned to the cafe, the fatty cat quickly climbed on the stairways and arrived at the second floor in the blink of an eye.
Really, what in the world does this guy want me to do? I thought to myself as I followed the fatty cat up. There, I saw Sonia’s figure sitting still in her seat like a statue. It seemed she was depressed.
However, even if I went to her, I would only end up displeasing her. So, I shouldn’t…. While I was thinking that, my line of sight suddenly met the fatty cat’s own.
“Are you not going to her?”
It was as if the cat spoke to me.
“Like hell I can go to her in this kind of situation.”
Beside, why should I go to her? I mean, I knew I might be the reason for her current state, but still….
Argh, this matter really pissed me off.
“Just how long are you going to feel down like that? C’mon, it’s time to go back.”
“Haven’t you gone back already… Simeon-sama?” Sonia asked with a timid voice. Heck, isn’t that supposed to be my question?! Dammit, spare me from this trouble please.
“Yes, but I suddenly remember that I left something behind.”
“Eh? What is this thing that you left behind? I don’t think I saw you leaving something behind though …?”
“It’s right there. Well, let’s go.”
“S… Simeon-sama?!” She exclaimed in shock as I grabbed her hand and took her with me.
And just like that, I lead her into the carriage.

None of us spoke for a while after that. Only the sound of carriage wheels moving forward accompanied us.
“… I won’t ask for apology since I don’t think I’m in the wrong,” I said while looking at the flowing scenery outside the window.
“… Yes, I’m the one in the wrong. My deepest apology for my thoughtless remark.”
Perhaps, her head had cooled down after I left her for a while, but Sonia apologized obediently. Even though I had insulted her dangerous idea that she deemed as noble aspiration. Still, I didn’t think I was wrong.
“Since you understand, there’s no need to apologize to me. However, make sure you apologize to Miss Muriel, your attendant, and the other girls who lose their lifes— They’re the one who experienced such cruel things after all. And, speaking of Miss Muriel, how’s her condition now? Has she recovered already?”
It was Sonia’s attendant who bought the misanga, therefore, she felt responsible for the incident and almost comitted suicide to repent for her mistake. She was taken in by the military for questioning after that, but I wondered how’s her situation right now?
“Y-yes, she has already recovered. Since I come to visit her everyday, I know that she look better day by day. It seems she also received a consultation after questioning from the military.”
“The military feel sorry for her, eh?”
Though, it looked more like protection from the military side no matter how you look at it. It was just a play of words.
“Yes. Everyone feel the same way— they also apologize to her.”
“Well, all is well then.”
“Yes, you’re right. Thank you very much.”
“No need to thank me.”
“I know, but still. I just feel I have to say this.”
“I see.”
That concluded our conversation because we then arrived at Sonia’s house.
“Well then, see ya.” I bid her farewell as she descended from the carriage. Her attendant came to welcome her, but they couldn’t do anything since she had already stepped on the ground.
“Thank you very much for today, Simeon-sama. I’ll do my best to be able to stand by Saint-sama’s side.”
“Do your best,” I replied while waving my hand from the window. Anyhow, she should be able to accomplish that pretty easily.
“So, you’ve to do your best too, Simeon-sama. Because I know that your ability as the Six Gods— doesn’t lose to Theodore-sama.”
“You’re overestimating me.”
And yet, Sonia still said those encouragement since she knew that it would make me happy. Geez, this matter really pissed me off. And I got even more irritated when the optimistic face of that fool (Theodore) and Katrina who seemingly was able to see through everything flashed before my eyes.
“To hell with miracle or saint.”
I won’t admit people who keep clinging to those vague thing. Nor do I recognize the saint who couldn’t even protect the heart of the crown prince.
“I will protect everyone in my own way.”
