Chapter 3: Chapter 3 – A Commotion Stirs

“I don’t care if you drag them out! Get them out of here!”

A feminine priest yelled at the town guards as they promptly scrambled to escort people out of the church.

“Out! Out! Out!”

The priest’s words echoed outside as more glittering light people evacuated the church. Novus turned his head as he lazily avoided a flying figure thrown out of the church.

The priest has some strength in her.

Novus resumed staring at the sky with his eyes closed as he let the suns in the sky wash through him and his worries. In a way, Solace was right. The simple act of standing in the sunlight was washing away his anger.

However, what replaced it was despair.

I can’t even die properly.

Novus went over the rebirth in his head.

First, he had killed himself. He was pretty sure of that.

But then, somehow, he ended up with a feminine priest in his face, criticizing him for setting her fountain flowers on fire.

“No.”

The little girl seemed shocked.

“But—”

“Go away.”

The little girl stepped back. She sniffled as she kept the tears welling in her eyes from pouring out. Then, she gingerly walked back towards her mother, tending to the burnt garden near the church fountain.

Sigh.

Novus’ exhale sapped the remaining strength from his body.

“Solace, can you kill me?”

…

Surprisingly, a reply didn’t come straight away.

《 Solace requires relevant information… relevant information obtained. 》

A screen suddenly popped up before Novus’ eyes.
