"I don't know much about the world below, but I know she's special.
That's right.
But the fact remains that she too is an eccentric.
Praying for a long time after a meal, let alone before a meal, would be considered an oddity.
It's not surprising that she is a priestess of the Earth Mother Goddess.
We had a goddess at home, but we never prayed before a meal.
I'm sorry.
Miria is the goddess of healing. She is the goddess of earth's fertility. We give thanks to her for the blessings of the earth.
I see. Where is the cult of Mother God, by the way?
It is on the south side of Table Mountain.
Then it's the opposite direction.
That's true. If you're going to head out, it might be faster to cut through the mountains.
If you need me, I'll do it. I know a lot of loopholes in the mountains.
That's what I'm talking about, Master Will.
I continue to ask her questions.
'Is it on the orders of a high ranking member of the Order that you are to be my follower?
"No, the High Priestess Flora opposed my departure. Master Flora has treated me like a daughter.
So why the trip?
Because there was an oracle of the Earth Mother Goddess
"An oracle. Is it something you dream about?
It can take many forms. Sometimes it's told to you in a dream, sometimes it's told to you in broad daylight, and suddenly it echoes in your brain.
"Does the oracle give other priestesses the same?
It seems to be a rare gift, but it's rare to hear the voice of God as often as I do.
That's why they call her "The Blind Master" in the temple. I think I'm being spotted.
But it must be hard to travel alone if you're blind.
No, it's not. I'm blind, but my hearing is good instead. That's enough to make up for it. Also, my blindness brings me closer to God. I feel as if Mother Earth is always with me and I can feel her breath.
Then she clasped her hands and prayed.
She has a unique aura of the saint.
Her divinity is so remarkable that you'd like to make your mother drink the nail polish, but you keep it in your mind, and then Lunamaria continues, "And--" she says.
Now I have a brave man named Will with me. Nothing could be more reassuring.
As long as I'm around, I'll do my best to protect you, but I'm not a brave man.
"Then it is safe to have a great hero on your side.
And a smiling girl.
She seems to trust me with everything.
When I see that smile, I'm driven to chivalry.
"Well, whether I'm a great hero or not, I'd like to be called a hero.
Dad Ronin always says, "Be a man who can give 120%", not for yourself, but for others.
Be a man who can give 120%" not for himself, but for others.
For a girl named Lunamaria, he could have given her "123%".
When I told her that, she smiled as if a flower had bloomed.
