Chapter 346: 346
I was strangely caught off guard by their reactions, but I didn’t mention it, and the three of us, including Neun-san, exchanged some light conversation .
After a while of idle conversation, as if she remembered about it, Dr . Vier returned to our original topic .
[Come to think of it, Miyamkun? In the end, what’s the reason why you came to see me?]
[Yes, since Neun-san is here, this may not be necessary but……]
[Unnn?]
Since Neun-san is a member of Kuro’s family, she definitely has an invitation, and if she and Dr . Vier are close friends, it wouldn’t be surprising if she had already invited her to the Six Kings Festival .
Well, it’s not like I’m going to lose anything by suggesting it, so I’ll just invite her .
As Dr . Vier tilted her head as she was about to get up and prepare another pot of herbal tea, I told Dr . Vier about the main topic of my visit .
[The Six Kings Festival occurs on the 24th day of the Light month, if you’re fine with it, would you like to go?]
[……Eh?]

Immediately after, the pot slipped from Dr . Vier’s hand and fell on the floor, shattering to multiple pieces .
Eh? What’s with her reaction…… What’s with this…… storm-like emotions……
The moment I invited her, my Sympathy Magic read the various emotions that erupted from Dr . Vier .
Dr . Vier’s expression didn’t change . She only looked a little surprised…… However, the emotions I felt through my Sympathy Magic were as dreadful as a murky river .
Regret, fear, anger, lamentation, anxiety, escapism…… Feeling the surge of dark emotions gushing towards my body, I was at a loss for words .
Thereupon, Neun-san unexpectedly rose from her chair and approached Dr . Vier .
[……Ahh, you really are hopeless, Vier . You’re still the same “klutz” like usual . ]
[ Ahaha, unnn . I’m sorry, my hand slipped……]
A klutz like usual? Is that really all there is to it? I mean, what happened just now, rather than because of Dr . Vier’s klutziness…… It looks more like she’s so shaken that she lost grip of the pot .

Moreover, I’ve also felt that from Neun-san too…… I could feel her flusteredness, as if she was trying to cover something up . Her expression appears to be calm, but I felt like I had touched something I shouldn’t have .
[……Miyamkun . ]
[Eh? Ah, yes!]
[……I’m sorry . I’m glad you invited me, but I have a lot of patients that even need my visit to receive medical treatment, so I don’t have the time to attend . ]

……It’s a lie . I don’t even need my Sympathy Magic for me to know that . However, I can’t say anything .
Dr . Vier must have known that even if she lied in her current state, she would be found out . And yet, she still dared to lie…… I guess that means that I shouldn’t go any further into this topic .
[I see…… I’m sorry for being unreasonable . ]
[No . I was happy with just the thought, Miyamkun . Thank you for inviting me . ]
I don’t know . Why is it that something like this is happening? I was just trying to invite Dr . Vier to the Six Kings Festival……

And yet, why is she…… overflowing with sorrowful emotions, yet still smiling as usual? I don’t know, and I’m afraid to know .
This is definitely because…… I felt that if I asked her about it, she would probably be very hurt .
In the end, a subtle awkwardness remained, and unable to initiate any more conversation, I decided to return to the mansion when I found a suitable time .
At night…… As I lay on my bed in my room, I couldn’t help but think of what happened with Dr . Vier and Neun-san today, even though I tried hard not to think about it .
The emotions I felt from Dr . Vier at that time felt so painful . They were so sorrowful and cold that I couldn’t even imagine them from the always calm and smiling Dr . Vier .
A part of me wants to know why, but another part of me thinks that I shouldn’t go any further .

It’s just a guess…… but it probably has something to do with the “sin” that Dr . Vier had mentioned earlier .
In the first place, I have always been incredulous about how Dr . Vier apparently killed as many people as there were crosses in that church .
No, even if that was true, I interpreted it as it was because of her profession…… That those crosses were the number of lives that she was unable to save .

But when I saw Dr . Vier today, I thought, almost intuitively…… that it wasn’t the case at all .
But then, the confusion in my head became larger . Would the kind Dr . Vier take the life of another without a reason? No, I don’t think so…… I want to believe that’s the case .
However, I don’t know what that “reason” could be…… No matter how much I think about it, there’s no way I can get an answer .
Holding my fuzzy head, I thoughtlessly raised my upper body, and right at that moment, a glowing magical bird appeared in front of me .
[…… A hummingbird?]
This is a means of communication that is very useful in this world, something like a mail made out of magic . I wonder who would send me a hummingbird at this hour? As I touched the hummingbird, glowing letters appeared in the air .
“Sorry to call so late at night . Can you come to the church now? -Vier”
It was a short and concise text…… but I felt that it contained something very heavy .

As soon as I saw the words, I got up from my bed, changed my clothes…… and invoked my Teleportation Magic Tool .

Because I was supposed to be regularly visiting Dr . Vier’s clinic for Noir-san’s treatment, I registered at the location of Dr . Vier’s clinic’s front .
In an instant, my body was enveloped in light and I was teleported to my desired location .
In the dimly lit church, Dr . Vier was standing in front of the altar, illuminated by the moonlight shining through the stained glass .
She wasn’t really offering a prayer, but just standing there with her face slightly raised, as if gazing at the moon beyond the stained glass and appreciating its fantastic beauty .
[……I’m sorry to call out to you at this hour . ]
[……No . ]
Dr . Vier’s voice echoed in that quiet space, and the expression on her face as she slowly turned around…… looks as if she was about to cry .
Dear Mom, Dad————- Dr . Vier is a kind and cheerful woman, but she’s also somewhat absent-minded . She was such a friendly woman…… However, when I think back about it, I have always had the feeling that she had been hiding something heavy . And now, I’m sure of it . What will be told from now on———- is a secret that she has always been hidden……
