Chapter 66

As I heard their grumbling voice, I finally began to grasp the situation.

‘Snow?. You can talk?’

[Originally, the divine beast was able to communicate with its owner. You just doesn’t know how yet.]

To think that adorable Snow would portray me as a bad mistress.

I was a bit shocked.

‘So how are we communicating now?’

[I’m using the power of a god through the holy water, but I can’t keep this up for long.]

As Snow said, cracks began to appear in the white space.

‘Where is this?’

[This is the subconscious.]

Snow, who answered my question, blinked its round eyes and stared at me.

[Do you know why I chose you as my mistress?]

‘I don’t know. I don’t have divine power or anything special…’

[As expected, you don’t know. Your divine power is a bit different from the usual, but it’s a holy power like no other. That’s why I chose you as my mistress.]

‘….’

I was flustered to hear that I had divine power. Snow licked its soft fur with its tongue and continued.

[But I don’t know why you keep trying to send me to the temple. I’ve been waiting for you since before. I even put up a barrier.]

‘I’m sorry…’

I felt ashamed as I recalled my misdeeds of trying to send Snow to the temple. But a barrier?

I felt the questions I had from the founding ceremony being answered.

It seemed that Snow had put up a barrier to meet me.

That’s why the priests wouldn’t have known about it.

[Hmm. Do you think you’ll be forgiven like that?]

Unlike Snow’s cold reply, its tail wagged playfully.

[Well, never mind that. You should always know that you have the grace of God.]

‘What do you mean?’

[You’ve already changed a lot, but chaos still remains. Ah, it’s already time to go.]

Crackle-

The space began to widen and lose its shape. My vision blurred at the same time.

Through the cracks in the space that shattered like a mirror, Snow’s eyes shone strangely.

[This is your last chance, mistress.]

That was the last thing I heard before I lost consciousness.

“Ack!”

As I pulled my hand away in a panic, everything became quiet as if nothing had happened.

I’m sure that several minutes had passed in the subconscious, but I had only just removed my hand from the holy water.

‘I talked to Snow…’

I still couldn’t believe I had talked to Snow.

‘Snow?’

I called Snow in my mind just in case, but there was no response.

Before I knew it, Snow, who was in my arms, had fallen fast asleep.

I thought about my conversation with Snow. Snow had definitely said it was the last chance.

‘Last chance…’

What was the last chance for? And what did it mean when it said that chaos still remained?

Enigmatic words lingered in my mind.

“This is…”

Noctis opened his eyes wide. I noticed Noctis’ presence and looked at the holy water with a surprised expression.

The afterimage of the white divine power still lingered before my eyes.

“T, this isn’t wrong, is it?”

As Noctis’s golden eyes shook violently, he parted his lips with difficulty.

“I see.”

Did Snow use the relic to talk to me? But if I asked him about it, it would probably cost an astronomical amount.

I imagined the pillars of my house being uprooted and my lips trembled.

“Sir Noctis. Did I do something wrong? Like damage property…”

As I anxiously stared at him, Noctis shook his head.

“No, that’s not it. However…”

“However?”

“It’s certain that you have just received a divine calling. The holy water reacted.”

“Is it common for the holy water to react?”

“No, it’s not. Miss Rosette is a special case, but it sometimes appears to those who haven’t awakened their latent divine power.”

“Latent divine power?”

“Yes. Everyone has divine power within them. Those who haven’t awakened it don’t know how much divine power they have. I was a bit flustered because Miss Rosette is a rare case.”

He had looked too surprised for that, but it might have just been my guess.

“Sir Noctis. Do you know much about the divine beast?” I asked, recalling my purpose for coming to the temple.

Noctis glanced at Snow and smiled.

“The divine beast is a divine being. You can think of it as a spirit that receives the grace of God. This fox that chose Miss Rosette is also a divine beast, isn’t it?”

“Yes. That’s why I don’t understand why it chose me.”

“I don’t know that either. The divine beast is a mythical beast, so not much is known about it. Anyway, I’m surprised that the divine beast has appeared now.”

“Oh, so… is it okay? I mean, the divine beast belongs to the main temple, right? Are there no restrictions?”

“It doesn’t matter to us. Everything is God’s will. One thing for sure is that Miss Rosette is loved by God.”

Noctis looked at me with a complicated expression and opened his mouth.
