Volume 4 Chapter 18 ACT.109 Two People’s Meal (III)
She speaks, looking straight into Rai's eyes, though it seems hard for her.
"Rai doesn't have to do *dangerous things*. I know you can do it."
Hearing Saria's words, Rai's back stiffens slightly.
Her eyes tremble with agitation, and a sudden flash of realization races through Rai's mind.
"I don't really get the whole Holy Church situation, but I can tell you've been hiding something, Rai."
Looking down, staring at her clasped hands under the table, Saria speaks sadly.
Seeing her, Rai is at a loss for words.
He's been lying, covering up.
He can't tell her that he's a Purge Knight.
It's against Holy Church rules.
So, hiding it from her isn't wrong.
It's just how it has to be.
But still, what he's hiding is an undeniable truth.
And the biggest reason he hid it wasn't because of the rules.
It's what Rai truly wanted to keep from her──.
"I, um..."
Once she recognized the truth, a heavy sense of guilt clung tightly to Rai's heart.
"I know it's not like you're doing something bad, because it's you, Rai──"
Yes, it weighs heavily on him.
"But... it's still wrong."
Before Rai could burst, she turned it around.
The other side of her gives a wry smile in response to Saria's words.
"So, what do you want to do?"
Revenge against the Reincarnator.
Countless murders as the vanguard of the Holy Church.
That can't be right.
It just can't.
Even with the excuse of divine will and revenge, killing isn't a good deed.
──But still...
I have been consistent in what I do.
I protect and support Rai's life.
And for that, I'll remove any obstacle.
No matter who it might be.
I narrowed my eyes, looking at Saria like a blade.
"Rai?"
Just as I sensed the air around us change.
I quickly reached out my left hand towards her, filled with killing intent.
