Floating Sanctuary (5)

On his way home after finishing his contract with the god he first met.

Perrin looked at the brand on the back of her hand and smiled faintly.

Although she became an apostle of the god she called the Evil God, she didn’t seem as bad as she thought.

The evil spirit introduced Yuto to her, and gave her a mysterious gift called a Shingi.

He told me that the brand on her hand is also a mark engraved on a special person.

We were also told that we would have to leave this town sooner or later, but Perrin asked for a few more days of probation.

It was to say goodbye to the fairies of the village for a few days and leave.

“I don’t know how everyone will react when I say I’m leaving.”

Perrin, who had hid Yuto and Shingi in the forest, pondered how the other fairies would react to her farewell.

There have been several occasions when Perrin decided to leave the village.

However, this was the first time to properly say goodbye to the fairies of the village.

It is now time to say goodbye to the village that I was very fond of.

Perhaps some of the fairies were saddened by the news of Perrin’s departure.

Of course, I can’t bring up the story of becoming an apostle of the evil spirit, though.

“By the way, I feel a little sorry for Rendell-sama.”

As the image of the village drew closer, Rendel’s image flashed through Perrin’s mind.

At first, it was Perrin, who thought Rendell might steal Yuto from her.

However, although it has been quite some time since Yuto was introduced, Rendell did not do anything suspicious.

Sometimes it was only enough to stroke Yuto when Perrin was not there.

In addition, he handed over rare grasses to Perrin, telling him to use it to decorate Yuto.

Rather, it made me wonder if Perrin herself was looking at Rendell too badly.

“Rendell?”

Perrin, who was thinking about Rendell, saw a busy town in her sight.

The center of the village where the withered old tree is located.

There, many fairies were talking with serious faces.

Among the elves who talked like that, Rendel was also present.

Apparently, there was something big wrong with the village.

Perrin ran towards Rendell and the fairies to find out what had happened.

“…Perrin?”

At the sound of Perrin’s footsteps running towards the village, Rendel, who was talking to the fairies, looked at Perrin.

Rendel, who looked at Perrin, had a hard face.

The complexions of the fairies who were talking to Rendell were also dark.

Apparently, a much more serious problem had arisen than Perrin had expected.

Thinking that Rendell might have him run an errand, Perrin ran straight to Rendell to help him.

“Rendell! Is there anything I can do to help?”

Perrin stopped in front of Rendell and smiled at him and asked.

But Rendel’s face was still dark.

Rendell was silently looking at Perrin with his mouth shut.

At Rendel’s attitude, the fairies around him all began to stare at Perrin.

Their gaze was directed towards the brand engraved on the back of Perrin’s hand.

In the eyes of the fairies looking at the stigma, Perrin stepped back and covered the stigma.

“·················ogue.”

Frightened by the sudden gaze of the fairies, Perrin stepped back.

There were many experiences in which fairies who saw the stigma scoffed at her.

But it was the first time that everyone stared at her without saying a word like this.

Immediately after Perrin stepped back, bewildered by the unfamiliar gaze.

The fairies around her began to turn towards Perrin.

At first glance, it looked like the fairies were surrounded by Perrin.

“Lee, Rendell? Why is everyone doing this all of a sudden?”

“Perrin.”

“yes?”

“This was the only option.”

When Perrin faced Rendell with a questioning gaze, Rendell only brought up a meaningful story to her.

Immediately after the questionable conversation was over.

The fairies around them all rushed towards Perrin.

Koo!

A moan escaped from Perrin’s mouth as he fell to the floor with a heavy crashing sound.

“Ugh……!”

Perrin frowned and checked her situation.

Around Perrin, he could feel his hands pressing down on her hands and head.

Even if he tried to get up from his seat, he could not move freely.

Numerous fairies cling to Perrin, who fell on her seat, and arrested her.

Perrin lifted her head and looked up at the hands of the fairies that weighed on her body.

Rendel looked at her and held a wooden staff in her hand.

“From now on, I will perform the forbidden ritual for Perinstite.”

Rendel with a wand declared with a heavy voice towards Perrin and the fairies.

taboo.

Hearing this, Perrin’s complexion turned white.

The story of gold had been passed down to the fairies through old tales.

It was a magical means of sanctioning people who deviated from the right path and harmed the fairies.

The forbidden fairy suffers terrible pain, and it was impossible to even rest at will without the permission of the other fairies.

Perrin, thinking about the prohibition, shouted at Rendell, moving her arms and legs that were suppressed.

“Rendell! Please release this, this!”

“Dirty, be still!”

“I did nothing! Really, Eupeup…!”

“Aww!”

The fairy who had grabbed Perrin tried to stop her, but Perrin struggled as hard as she could to resist.

Rather, he strongly bit the fairy’s hand that had closed his mouth.

The fairy who had stopped her screamed and had to remove the bleeding hand.

Having removed the hand that was covering her mouth, Perrin struggled as hard as she could and tried to move towards Rendell.

“I didn’t really do anything! You said that if you live a good life, other people will like you! But why are you doing this!”

“You are very dangerous. So we have come to the conclusion that we cannot control you without a ban.”

“I, I will leave the village! So just, just release this…!”

“Shut up and just be quiet!”

A fairy who grabbed Perrin’s head gave her strength.

Perrin’s eyes were watered with pain as if his head was about to explode.

Meanwhile, Rendell’s staff was approaching Perrin.

The staff with the blue light shone like a monster in Perrin’s eyes.

A short spell began to leak out of Rendel’s mouth as he pointed his staff at Perrin.

“——Comply with the order. Submit to Providence.”

“Poetry, I hate it…!”

“——We are born under the trees, and we sleep under the heaps of dirt.”

Unknown patterns began to be engraved on Perrin’s skin in contact with the blue light.

The patterns containing the light spread throughout Perrin’s whole body, and gradually began to increase in size.

The heat radiated from all the places where the patterns were drawn.

The spreading pattern was corroding Perrin’s body.

A scream erupted from Perrin’s mouth as he felt the heat all over his body.

“Oh, it hurts! stop······!”

“——Under the great will, we will live the same dream.”

“Oh my gosh…!”

“——Be obedient. he······.”

Despite Perrin’s screams, Rendell continued the ritual.

The blue light flickers and the pattern is engraved and faded dozens of times.

Perrin, placed under the pattern, continued to complain of pain.

Cold sweat was dripping down Rendel’s forehead as he was conducting the ceremony.

The moment when the consciousness that had been proceeding in such a scream came to an end.

A fierce scream erupted from Perrin’s mouth again.

“I told you to stop!”

blatantly. Quang!

With her voice, the patterns engraved all over her body were broken.

The patterns wrapped around Perrin became fragments of light and scattered in all directions.

Rendel’s ritual had failed.

Numerous patterns crumbled and disappeared, and only the brand engraved on Perrin’s hand flickered with light.

During the ceremony, Rendell vomited blood from his mouth and took a few steps back.

“Kuh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh…!”

Rendell opened his eyes wide and looked at Perrin.

His eyes were young with disbelief and fear of something.

Facing the bloody Rendell in front of him, Perrin, who interrupted the ritual, tried to get up.

However, the hand that weighed on Perrin was still in good condition.

Some elves even approached Rendel to support him.

“Rendell! Are you all right!”

Rendel, supported by the fairies, wiped the blood from his lips.

No one in this position seemed to be interested in Perrin’s condition.

Rather, she was taking care of Rendel, who was trying to engrave the gold medal on her.

A great sense of betrayal rose in Perrin’s heart.

The dark emotions that had sank in the depths of the abyss were slowly rising.

Darkness began to fall in the sky with a voice in my ear.

– “Who covets mine?”

Dark clouds quickly fell over the sky at sunset.

It was a heterogeneous landscape no matter who looked at it.

The catastrophe that filled the sky didn’t stop there.

breakage. phlegmatic.

Lightning began to flash from the clouds hanging in the sky.

The hands of the fairies who watched the scene began to tremble at the sight of the clouds flashing with blue light.

“Is the sky strange?”

“What the hell is this…?”

The story of the fairies who suppressed Perrin did not last long.

Aww!

A streak of blue lightning fell between the fairies that surrounded Perrin.

A thunderous sound echoed in all directions along with a blue ray of light.

Naturally, the fairies attached to her could not survive the aftermath of the lightning.

The fairies hit by the heavy lightning trembled and screamed.

“Koo!”

“Ahhh!”

The aftermath of the lightning that fell on the ground was not small.

The green grass crumbled and smoke rose from the floor.

The fairies hit by lightning also had to convulse and roll on the floor.

Everyone who was in contact with Perrin had become immobile.

When the hands that were holding him down disappeared, Perrin staggered and got up.

The eyes of the fairies around them all turned to Perrin.

Perrin was the only fairy who was moving safely despite being struck by lightning.

“Elder Rendell, what the hell is this……?”

Eggersuit, who was around Rendel, looked at Rendell and asked.

Then Rendell smiled and looked up at the sky.

He had a face that looked like he was going crazy.

Even as Perrin, it was the first time he had met Rendell’s face like that.

Rendel, who was looking at the sky with a self-helpful smile, opened his mouth.

“It is an evil spirit.”

“······Yes?”

“Did we not touch the evil spirit’s object? This time the evil spirit is looking at us.”

Immediately after Rendel’s words, soaked in despair, were finished.

A streak of lightning fell from the sky once more.

Kwareung!

A ray of light flashed, and a nearby fairy fell to the ground.

The eyes of the fairies turned to the fallen fairy in the sudden disaster.

The flurry of the fairy wriggling from the seat was buried in the thunder and disappeared.

“you······.”

The fairies standing in their seats were wary of the lightning and began to summon the spirits.

Numerous spirits appeared in the air.

Among those who summoned the spirits, there were also fairies who were trying to find the culprit.

One of the men near Rendell did so.

He pointed his finger at Perrin and shouted at her.

“You did! You have summoned an evil spirit!”

Hearing the man’s words, Perrin opened her eyes and looked at him.

He was slowly moving away from Perrin as he grinded his teeth.

The man’s story was just the beginning.

Hearing the accusations against Perrin, the fairies all started to join the procession.

Elves from all directions pointed their fingers at Perrin and began pouring out primary criticisms.

“Dirty and vulgar!”

“I thought I was going to have an accident someday! Some evil spirits have been summoned!”

“Get away! Dirty seed!”

Perrin did not know what to do with the accusations of the fairies against him.

The first thing he did wrong was Rendel who was trying to engrave the gold medal.

However, everyone in this place seemed to be pouring out hatred towards Feren.

Each criticizes Perrin for a variety of reasons.

They were the fairies who always hated Perrin, but today the level was different from usual.

Moreover, there were also those who made ridiculous accusations among them.

“From the beginning, we were going to bring evil spirits and kill us all!”

“No, I am…”

At the fairy’s words, Perrin tried to protest something.

However, Perrin’s words did not come out of his mouth until the end.

It was because the fairy who had been criticizing Perrin had cut off Perrin’s words.

He continued to point and accuse Perrin, standing with bloody feet.

“It’s not what! You are the shame of our fairies!”

“You said no! I really…”

“Shut up! What is the filthy and evil servant of the evil spirit trying to tell us before us!”

wow.

Perrin clenched his teeth as he pointed a finger at him.

At this moment, she was evil.

No matter what she says, the fairies here will not believe her.

Still, Perrin had to talk.

He had to talk to everyone about the emotions he had accumulated within him.

“I said no.”

“·················ogue.”

“You said no! I really just wanted to get along with everyone!”

A long-hidden truth is revealed.

Perrin’s voice coming out of her mouth was the most desperate of her whole life.

When was the last time you brought out such a candid story?

It was the first time since the family who cared for her disappeared.

Perrin’s fists, talking about his true feelings, were shaking violently, unable to hold back the emotions that were flowing back.

“How many times have I said no! Still, everyone ignores the stigma! No one listens to me!”

I wanted to be friends with everyone.

I have been working hard for a long time with just one such thought.

I’ve been trying to be like the other fairies.

In order to get rid of even a little bit of his shortcomings, he tried to reach out to others.

There is a moment when he trimmed the trees in the village with his sloppy hands to win the hearts of the fairies who hated him.

I also remember scratching my hand with my fingernail until it bled to remove the stigma on my hand.

There were times when I cried alone and cried for loneliness toward the trees in the forest.

There was a time when I thought that if I could handle the spirits even if I had a stigma, I could be recognized by others.

“So, I’ve been wanting that one thing for a long time… and I’ve been holding on to it until now…”

And she met the spirit she had longed for.

Yuto. The only and mysterious friend who came to Perrin, who was a loner.

He made a dear friend, and he made a promise to be with him forever.

As long as she is with the spirit, she will be recognized as a true fairy.

I was about to return to the village where everyone was while imagining that.

“I was only wanting one… that one——!”

But nothing has changed for her.

The fairies in the village still hate and fear her.

Even though she doesn’t have the strength to do that.

Everyone hated, denounced, and rejected her for one stigma on her hand.

The stigmatized fairy was nothing but an outsider from beginning to end.

No matter what she did, it was impossible for her to be accepted by the other fairies.

“No one is looking at me…….”

It was Perrin herself who got hurt as time went on.

There were mountains of things that could not be changed in the world.

Like a brand clearly engraved on the back of her hand.

So she eventually had to admit it.

All the fairies around her didn’t want her to remain a good kid.

She couldn’t be a good kid anymore.

“For the other fairies, it must have been that difficult.”

She had to admit that she was different from the fairies of the village.

She had to admit that the village she loved so much was a lie.

The stigmatized half-punni fairy was not related to the fairies of this town.

She was always lonely.

A contract with a spirit has no effect on that fact.

Perrin always had to be a loner.

Because the world made her that way.

Because all the fairies were denying her.

It was impossible to ignore his essence forever.

“So now, I am…”

Perrin’s hazy eyes looked up at the sky.

Rain was pouring down from the darkened sky.

fight. tuk.

The sound of rain hitting the leaves clearly flows into Perrin’s ear.

Rain water running down her cheeks calmed Perrin’s burning head.

The passion that was burning inside her was also cooled by the cold rain.

“Now… I…”

In the rain that calmed the heat, Perrinstite woke up.

All her efforts were in vain.

The fairies in front of her did not love Perrin.

And Perrin didn’t love them any more.

Now there was no reason to maintain this dry relationship.

“As long as you have Yuto… you don’t need anything else.”

It was malice that was released from the cold emotions.

An evil on earth that acts on behalf of the heavens.

The apostle of the evil spirit, who had awakened from innocence, looked at the fairies.
