I returned from my walk with Frene and Raymer and immediately went to see Mr. Lan.
Mr. Lang."
When I called out to Mr. Lang, he was with Dong and Sileva. The three of them turned their eyes toward me.
Lelunda," he said, "what's going on? What's wrong?"
Ms. Lan spilled out a gentle smile toward me.
I love her gentle smile, I can't help but think every time I see her smile.
I'd like to face you properly," he said.
The first time I saw her smile, I thought it was a little too soft and gentle. They didn't expect me to say something like this.
Lelunda. That priest has faith in Lelunda. I don't know what kind of action he would take because of his faith. That's why you decided to let him stay in this village with a condition, right?"
Yes. I'm not sure what he's going to do because of his faith, but he's going to do it because of his faith.
Seeing Fito and the others?
Yes. The most important thing to remember is that you can't let the situation get out of control. He said he would never let things get out of control.
I'm not sure what to do with the rest of my life. But I am just running away.
I'm just turning away from the problem, thinking that it might run out of control.
I am running away from ....... I decided to live as a godchild. I decided to use this power. So--I'm going to do my best to make sure that Irum-san doesn't get into trouble.
"...... Lelunda. In the worst case scenario, if it doesn't work out, we may have to take their lives.
'Yeah. I'll be fine. I know what I'm doing.
The reason we are now keeping Ilham and Shehan locked up in the house and not letting them out is because they could cause problems. If you don't let them out, there will be minimal problems in the first place. But if we let them out and show them how this village is, there is a high possibility that some kind of problem will arise. --If they do something that is detrimental to our village, we may have to take their lives.
I will do everything in my power to make sure that ...... does not happen. If it does, I will ...... be ready."
I have accepted being a godchild, and as a godchild, I have decided to live.
Right now, it's just Mr. Illume, but in the future, more people may end up in the same situation. Then I can't do anything if I can't do well for one person.
Mr. Lan and the others, for my sake, showed me a path that I would not have to face so that I would not have to go through the hard times. They showed me the worst possibilities so that I wouldn't feel sad. If I don't face Mr. Illume properly, I may be happy for a while. But I don't even know how long that will last.
Right now, this village is doing well, but I don't know how long that will last. If I don't face it and something happens, the fact that I didn't face it may show itself in the worst possible way.
That's how I feel. That's why.
I am grateful for your concern. But I'm okay. I understand. I want to face it properly. And I might get in trouble for it. And if things don't go well, I need your help. But ...... I want to face it."
Maybe my choice to face it will cause trouble for everyone. It might not work. Because I don't even know how that thought of faith exists in Mr. Illume. I also said to her, "If it doesn't work out, I want you to help me.
However, I wanted to face it.
I couldn't help but lower my voice a little bit as I spoke. I looked down at him.
I wondered if I would be able to stop him, and then I felt a large hand patting my head. I looked up to see Dong gently stroking my head, and Sireva looking at me as if she had no choice. Then Ms. Lan gave me a few words.
'Then I will not object. If Lelunda has made a proper decision, I will support her action. If she is that determined, I will help her to make it work. And if it doesn't work, of course I will help. But still, ......"
Mr. Lan looks at me, smiles, and continues.
Lelunda has grown up, hasn't she? I am happy to be able to feel her growth by my side.
Laughing softly, Ms. Lan said she was happy to feel my growth by her side. Dong and Sireva both smile at her words in the same gentle way, and I feel a little embarrassed when they look at me.
