As I walk over to everyone with Nilsi holding me, they all ask, "Are you okay?" I felt happy when they worried about me like that.
It made me happy to hear that they were concerned about me. My heart was touched by the fact that everyone cared about me.
Is everything all right now?
Yes, I'm fine."
Gaius asked me if I was okay, and I said yes.
Nilsi dropped me off and I sat down on a chair. Gaius and Kayu ask me questions.
'That rain, that's what Lelunda did, isn't it? It's amazing, isn't it? How did you do it?"
I wondered if that was the power to manipulate the weather that you were talking about before. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm going to try to do it.
For some time I had been talking with the two of them about the power to manipulate the weather and what it might be like.
The two of them looked interested.
Thinking about how I did it, I - I prayed to God. Mr. Doulouane told me that I had the blessing of the God of Heaven, so I prayed to the God who was watching over me.
Then it rained.
I prayed and it rained. When I prayed with the desire to extinguish the fire, it started raining at ......, so I thought maybe praying was the key. But I can't make that happen unconditionally, I have to use my magic.
But there must be a trigger, right? When I prayed lightly before, the weather didn't move.
I'm not sure if I'm really praying or not. ...... I wonder if they hear my prayers when I really need them.
I don't know what kind of criteria God uses to make his selections. He doesn't grant every wish. God just watches over me and helps me from time to time.
Maybe God can tell if I really need it or not - that kind of thing.
The place that burned down in the fire is not in its original form and will have to be rebuilt again. I wish I could have extinguished the fire before it burned this much ...... and feel a little depressed.
'What are you depressed about, be more proud.'
Nilsi seemed to have realized that I was depressed, and she patted me on the head and told me so.
He pats me on the head and says, "That's right. Lelunda stopped the fire, so you don't have to think about what could have been done earlier.
We're just grateful that you put out the fire.
That's what everyone said to me.
I see. I still could have done more. --I thought, "Maybe I could put out the fire sooner. That's all I could think about.
But it wasn't like that.
Because I am a godchild - I sometimes think that I can do something more. But I am still a child, and I can't do everything.
I am what I am, and there are things I can do and things I can't do.
Mr. Lan is always teaching me many things. In one of his talks, he said that being a godchild is often used and expected by those around you. That is why he said, "People who see Lelunda as Lelunda are precious, so let's treasure them.
-Ran's words flashed through my brain.
So far, I have yet to encounter anyone who tries to take advantage of me or places high expectations on me.
But I am sure such people exist somewhere.
It is just that I have not been lucky enough to encounter them. From the very beginning, Ms. Lan told me that there are people who try to take advantage of me. Maybe one day I will come into contact with such people.
So I feel very happy that everyone is genuinely concerned about me.
I did my best. I did my best."
--I did my best," he said, "so I accept everyone's words.
I did what I could. I accept that I did my best, that I can be proud of myself, that I don't need to feel down, because everyone tells me so.
I accepted that I did my best and smiled.
But next time, try not to fall over.
'Because I'm worried if you fall over.
Everyone tells me not to push myself anymore because they are worried if I fall.
I tried not to worry them, and if there is a next time to pray to God like this, I will consider the scope properly as I had talked about with Mr. Lan.
There are still so many things I don't know about my power, so I will try to grasp myself more. I am sure that by doing so, I will be able to help myself for the future.
Looking out the window, I saw that it was still raining outside.
The rain I had called in.
That rain continued to fall for a while.
After a while, after the rain stopped, I went to the altar.
--God, thank you for bringing in the rain.
--Thank you for always watching over me.
I kept offering such prayers. I hope this gratitude will reach God by all means.
And I will try not to forget this feeling of gratitude.
