I may have been mistaken about the existence of the divine child.
I thought I knew that the divine child is not all-powerful. But I think I did not really understand that the divine child is not a universal being.
In the first place, the word "kamiko"---or "God's beloved child"---is a name that we humans have given ourselves. No, the divine child is indeed loved by God. That may be true. But it is not just that God loves us and gives us happiness.
If a godchild really could live a life without any inconvenience or unhappiness, then there is no way that the girl who is probably a godchild---Relunda---would have been treated so badly in the village where she was born and raised. If being a "godchild" really meant happiness, then Lelunda would not have been treated like that.
And the story of the past Kamiko (----), who hated his country and caused its destruction, is also a story of a Kamiko who was loved by God, given by God, and only enjoys happiness. would not be in a situation where he or she would have hatred.
Those loved by the God-Son will attain happiness. The land loved by the Divine Son does not fall into disrepair even after the Divine Son leaves. This is a certain fact that I have learned in my study of the divine child.
It is certainly true. But that fact is neither perfect nor universal. If all those whom the godchild loved truly gained happiness and did not become unhappy, then the godchild in the past would not have fallen into a situation that made him hate his country. It seems that both the village where Lelunda was born and raised and this village of the beastmen certainly worked to make it easier for Lelunda to live.
However, now that Athos is missing, I am thinking that it may be impossible for her to live peacefully forever.
Lelunda cares about Mr. Athos. She adores him. Therefore, if, as the chief ministers of the Kingdom of Fairytorov and those of the Great Temple thought, it is true that those who are loved by the divine child will gain happiness, then it should not be possible for Mr. Athos to go missing.
---And if you think about it, it is also doubtful that the fact of the appearance of a godchild is inscribed in history books.
It seems to me that those who are "god-children" are always put on stage as "god-children. There is no "kamiko" who is not a "kamiko" but a mere human being, living peacefully without being exposed as a "kamiko" in the literature. The divine child is making things happen that will leave their mark on the history books. That is to say, he is "involved" in an event that must be recorded in the history books. When I came to this conclusion, I must admit that I was horrified.
I, and I am sure everyone else, was mistaken. I thought that the name "kamiko," which can only imply the merit of being God's beloved child, and the power and accomplishments of kamiko, meant that kamiko are beings who are given as much as they can be given by God and receive few demerits.
The ---- godchild is given that unusual power and blessing because he or she is involved in an event that will go down in the history books.
No, or is it because of the great power of the divine child that he is destined to be involved in events that will leave his name in the history books? I honestly don't know which it is, but I do know that people are creatures who cannot leave those with great power alone.
So I am sure that Lelunda will not be left alone.
Even if she wishes to stay and be happy, I am sure she will get involved.
Perhaps the fact that the godchild has always been under the aegis of a great power is a result of the way things were meant to be. The godchild, who is not left alone and gets involved, must have needed such great power and protection in order to live peacefully.
---This thought is just one guess. I hope not. But it is precisely in cases like this that we must consider the worst case scenario. We must consider the worst that can happen and look for the best possible solution.
I told the adults of the beastmen that we should flee the village. I have not yet told Lelunda, Gaius, or the children, but I thought that was one option. I am worried that Mr. Athos and the beastmen who went out to look for him have not returned. I hope they are safe. The worst possibility is that everyone in this village will be reduced to slavery or killed. If Athos and his family return here alive, the worst that can happen to this village is that they are in that situation, and that is what we must avoid.
But one day, when we could not come to a conclusion as to what we should do, Gaius took off. And even Lelunda jumped out after him.
--Ms. Lernda's thoughts.
(As the woman was going through her thoughts and discussing with the adults, they jumped out.)
