Chapter 346 A Secret that has Always been Hidden...... (2/2)

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……
