一区二区伊人久久大杳蕉

Given Megiddo-san\'s straightforward personality, once we fulfilled our original plan of shopping together and visiting Kaori-san\'s shop as promised, it felt like a good point to call it a day.

I mentioned that I was thinking of heading to Olivia-san\'s place, but it seems she wasn’t particularly interested in the Cathedral. Instead, she planned to buy some alcohol here in Friendship City before heading home.

It’s exactly because of Megiddo-san got that easygoing nature that I don’t feel the need to walk on eggshells around her, which is a relief. Well, she did say "If you’re in the mood for it, I’m up for staying till morning, you know?" and got smacked by Alice for it…… Classic Megiddo-san.

A- Anyway, with that sequence of events, we went our separate ways, and I headed toward the Cathedral with the clothes I had bought for Olivia-san.

Kaori-san apparently knew Olivia-san’s clothing size, so I chose something that seemed like it would suit her from the shop’s selection, handed it to Kaori-san, and had her confirm with the staff if they had it in Olivia-san’s size.

……Well, judging by Olivia-san’s physique, buying an S size should work just fine, but just in case I made sure to double-check.

After all, considering Olivia-san’s personality, if I ended up buying the wrong size, I could easily imagine her responding with something like “It’s my fault for not communicating my size to you”, blaming herself for it……

Ah, but now that I think about it, how should I go about meeting her…… Should I ask one of the priests at the Cathedral’s reception desk? Well, if that doesn’t work, I guess I can just contact her via hummingbird.

In the Central Cathedral of Friendship City Hikari, the Headquarters of Godism….. Olivia was quietly engaged in prayer within the innermost chamber designated for the Founder.

The prayer she performed was a meticulously planned act of gratitude toward Kaito, which she had been preparing for over 10 days. At this moment, her mind was utterly free from distractions, her thoughts crystal-clear.

Initially, Olivia had struggled to focus, her thoughts frequently drifting to Kaito. However, in the lead-up to this 10-day prayer, she underwent an extreme ascetic regimen———– arduous enough to defy mortal limits———— refining her mental state to perfection.

Now, Olivia radiated an aura of solemnity and purity befitting a saint, appearing almost as if surrounded by a shimmering light.

As Olivia continued her serene prayer, the sound of the door opening caused her to gently open her eyes.

[Founder-sama, my apologies for interrupting your prayer.]

The entire Cathedral staff had been informed of the significance of Olivia\'s 10-day prayer, and ordinarily, no one would dare disturb her.

Interrupting her prayer was tantamount to a direct affront, something no priest in the Cathedral would take lightly.

Understanding this, Olivia slowly turned toward the priest, recognizing that they must have an urgent matter warranting the interruption.

[……State your purpose.]

[Yes! Just now, Miyama Kaito-sama arrived at the Cathedral and requested to meet with you.]

[Miyama Kaito-sama? I see. That is indeed of utmost importance. Escort Miyama Kaito-sama to the VIP room and serve him refreshments and light snacks. Inform him politely that I will join him shortly after cleansing myself and changing my attire. Please ask him to wait for about two minutes.]

[Understood.]

Unsurprisingly, Kaito’s arrival took precedence over Olivia’s prayer. Upon learning of his visit, she immediately decided to temporarily halt her prayer.

(……Still, I wonder what brings Miyama Kaito-sama here? If he has come in person rather than sending a letter, it must be an important matter. No, it would be disrespectful to overthink this. My duty is to proceed to him as quickly as possible…… No problem. My faith and spirit are honed to perfection. I can greet Miyama Kaito-sama with the poise befitting the Founder. At the very least, I will not disgrace myself as I did when I invited him to my chambers previously……)

With her thoughts clear and unshakable thanks to her rigorous training, Olivia moved gracefully, convinced that she would not falter easily……

Of course, she would later find herself overwhelmed by far more distractions after Kaito’s departure, but at this moment, she was blissfully unaware of such a fate. ⱤåℕȱЁᶊ

~ ~ A Simple Summary of This Scene ~ ~

Olivia: [My heart feels so light…… This is the first time I’ll face Miyama Kaito-sama with such clarity…… There’s nothing to fear anymore!]

Serious-senpai: [……It’s not her stomach that’s getting punched, but her mentality instead……]
