Chapter 24

  “...W-will we be safe here?!”

  “...Not for long, I’m afraid.”

  “Oh no…oh no no no no…!”

  “Meissen...what have you done…??”

  “I didn’t mean to!! I mean, I guess I did, but I didn’t really! I just panicked at the last second!!”

  “The last second of what?”

  “The Model Preservation ceremony!”

  “...I’m not familiar with such a ceremony...”

  “It’s just some thing; I can’t explain it now! The point is, I think...I-I think Our Lord figured out about my powers! So She decided to put me in this ceremony where I have to get frozen in resin and die, and I just...couldn’t!!”

  “I…see...”

  “So while I was running away, I m-might’ve...kind of...shot Our Lord in the face with a laser beam…”

  “…”

  “...I’m sorry!! I don’t know what’s wrong with me; why do I always do these things?! My whole existence is just a mistake; maybe I should die!!”

  “Meissen…”

  “But I can’t do it...I know I should just turn myself in to the 0-Servants and go back there and finish the ritual, and maybe Our Lord will forgive me someday...but it just feels too scary and too awful...! I can’t do it; I just can’t!!”

  “…”

  “...Do you think...i-isn’t there something someone could do to make me good?? You never get in trouble, Hizen...don’t you know what’s wrong with me? Don’t you know a way to fix me…??”

  “...I…”

  “…?”

  “...You...cannot be ‘fixed’, Meissen. Nor would I want you to be...I love you dearly, just as you are.”

  “...That’s...not enough, though...”

  “I know...and I’m truly sorry. For that...and for what I must do...”

  “...Wh...what? What are you gonna do..?”

  “Something I should have done the day you discovered your powers. Something...that will bring your long suffering to an end.”

  “I don’t understand…”

  “I pray that you will, someday. Goodbye...my Meissen.”

  “H—”
