The Divine Knowledge Girl lifted her head, a rare trace of confusion appearing on her face.
"Child, it's okay not to try hard, it's okay not to become anyone, it's okay not to bear responsibilities."
The Liberation Saintess spoke word by word:
"—You have no obligation to save anyone."
This is a curse.
Words that, as a saintess, should never be spoken nor heard.
"If you're tired, just rest. If you're weary, just sleep."
"It's okay not to move forward, you don't have to do anything."
"Even if you become a useless person, I believe there will be someone willing to help you like that."
"After all, there are always people who love to meddle."
"When that time comes, you can expect and rely on them fully, like a little girl indulging herself."
"Although they haven't appeared yet, although that person might be younger than you, or even not yet born..."
The smile of the Liberation Saintess was as gentle and peaceful as always, as seen day and night.
