[Acquire 1 point of Seven Deadly Sins: Rage from ‘Arain S. Aspondel’.]
[tutorial]
[start!]
Even if you rub your eyes, the floating thing in front of you is the status window.
Suddenly come now?
First, let’s look at the situation.
Lane’s slightly embarrassed expression soon turned to anger.
“…what are you doing? Bring it quickly.”
“Yep.”
I hurriedly cleared my seat and stood in the food and beverage storage room next to the kitchen.
“Did you avoid the worst for now?”
Fortunately, I cut off the conversation with the excuse of bringing tea.
However, what is truly absurd is the status window that appears out of nowhere.

[The tutorial explains the Seven Deadly Sins system for smooth progress]
[Seven Deadly Sins: You can earn points for the Seven Deadly Sins by causing emotions corresponding to the Seven Deadly Sins for the Asmodians.]
[You can strengthen your stats with the Seven Deadly Sins points]
[※Caution: If you cover it up and raise the score, bloodshed may occur]
[The tutorial will pop up again when the situation corresponding to the Seven Lines comes up]
Eh?
What is the identity of this game?
My game cells, which had been hardened for a long time, began to move.
seven deadly sins.
Pride, stinginess, jealousy, anger, lust, gluttony, sloth
These are the words stuck in my ears as the pseudo-man on Line 1 talked about it without skipping a day.
First of all, if it’s my gwonju, there’s only one person, Rain.
In other words, if you go against Lane’s planting, instead of her hostility rising, I can become stronger.
But she is strong enough to handle me like a mosquito.
I don’t know how much the range of hostility is, but if you cross the line for the point right in front of your eyes, your head will fly away.
fuck. The bottom line is to walk a tightrope with a line.
“Still, 1 point would be fine.”
Even if it was only 1 point, my actions must have been a pretty big anger for Lane.
In any case, it was necessary to act without Lane noticing.
Sweets make you feel good, so let’s make black tea.
Make the tea as delicious as possible.
I hope this calms Lane’s heart even a little bit.
Rain’s favorite teacup might get angry at the temperature of the water, so I poured cold water to cover the surface of the cup.
Perfect.
Anyway, I didn’t want to see the saintess get hurt because I didn’t answer in time.

“this.”
-Sniff.
However, when I came out with the tea tray, the tears of the saintess were thicker, and Lane only had a satisfied look on her face.
toxic year. you finally said
“Hayu-san… what should I do?”
The saintess once again held back her tears and bowed her head.
It was obviously self-blame.
“I’m… I’m sorry. I’m sorry. because of me……”
The saintess hugged me and began to apologize.
Perhaps because of his mood, it seems that Rain’s eyebrows are slightly furrowed.
“no. No need to apologize…”
“I’m sorry. Was it very difficult? because of my ignorance. i’m bad I am so sorry.”
It’s the worst.
How it feels to receive an apology from a good person with good intentions.
An unpleasant aura covers the whole body.
be patient be patient
But it was still too early to express that anger.
The saintess repeatedly apologized to me for ten or so days.
I had a hard time calming myself down, and Lane didn’t tackle me.
Obviously because she thinks she’s acting on a carrot and stick basis.
“Holy Lady, I’m fine. Keep your head up because it’s okay.”
Seemingly fed up with the constant melodrama, Lane ordered me.
“Take me and come. No useless words.”
“All right.”
I led the saintess to the garden of the mansion.
It was because if the saintess was sent back alone, the mindless demons could harm her.
And to touch me is to touch the property of the great Odelia family.
“receive.”
Another servant, Mr. Felix, handed over the horse’s whip.
He shrugged his shoulders as if he had predicted this situation.
“I’m coming.”
“…okay.”
– Hee-hee!
As soon as the carriage departed, the saintess seemed to have calmed down and opened her mouth.
“Huh… it’s cool! I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It must have been really hard. Right?”
“If you keep apologizing, I will get angry.”
“still…”
“You’re a grown lady, aren’t you? If you are a saint, you must live with sympathy for the pain of many people. So there is no need to shed tears over trivial things like me.”
“It’s not trivial! hig”
“Anyway, please stop apologizing and crying.”
“……yes.”
She smiled weakly.
She is a saint who grew up seeing, hearing, and serving only good things in a long period of peace.
She cried so much that her eyes were red like a rabbit’s, and she was even hiccupping.
I said something to comfort her.
“Saintess, I heard that a few decades ago, there were many people starving to death for no reason on the borders of the empire.”
“I heard it was before this peace came.”
Don’t you think about it at least once?
On the other side of the world, which is the original world, there are countless countries dying of starvation.
Looking at that, I said that I would not starve to death.
“Am I not going to starve to death?”
“That’s not the problem!”
The saintess tapped me on the shoulder.
It’s a small body and trembling hands, so it doesn’t hurt at all.
Perhaps even the most angry man in the world will be relieved when he sees this cute figure.
It is so fatal.
“Aren’t you disappointed in me?”
“……”
Instead of answering, she just smiled quietly with her head down.
I don’t know if I know the heart of a woman who is going to have a coming-of-age ceremony soon.
In the end, in order to solve the awkward atmosphere, I brought out a daily story about the current situation.
A report on the growth of plants grown in flower beds.
How big were the children taken to the monastery.
And in the middle of the story of the successful baking of the new bread, the saintess apologized.
The cookies and cakes that the children wanted to eat came to me, but I made them throw them away.
Lane is clearly a villainess.
“Anyway, I’m glad everyone is doing well.”
“Hayu, are you happy?”
“Uh… at least for now?”
“Ah…hot.”
Is it because of your mood that the saintess’ face turned red again?
– Tiring.
[Favorship towards Saint Prissy: Kindness increases by 1]
A sound effect that I forgot about for a while.
[tutorial]
[Explain the seven main lines-likeability]
[Likeness level: If you arouse emotions corresponding to the seven main lines to the human and the Elyos, your liking level will increase]
[If you have a high affinity, you can acquire useful things from the target to help you progress.]
[※Caution: May cause mayhem and butterfly effect if you cover it up and only increase the favorability]
[This tutorial ends.]
After breaking the atmosphere, it was an easy explanation.
Unlike the Asmodians, it was shown that it is enough to treat the Humans and Elyos well.
“Oh right. Mr Hayu. Did you hear the news?”
“Which one?”
That’s how I continued my pointless conversation with the saintess.
Because there was no one to tell the story until now.
In fact, I am not perfectly adapted to this world, so I cannot fully sympathize with this culture.
However, the saintess felt that she was not a saint for no reason, and the conversation was comfortable because she was a good person.
– All right. rattle.
“I have arrived.”
“…already?”
And the wagon arrived at Norris Village.
There is a monastery beyond the windmill on that hill.
All the stories the saintess told me must be behind me.
But I couldn’t get over this hill.
Because a family member cannot be separated from a long distance without the owner’s permission.
That is, this is the maximum.
Reluctantly, we sat side by side in the carriage and watched the scenery.
“Hayu. Don’t you want to come back to the village inhabited by humans?”
“Well……”
It might be a question that would make Lane faint if she heard it.
The Seven Deadly Sins might go up by 100 points.
“I do not know. My family is not there either.”
“I… I have.”
moment of silence.
I couldn’t find a way to answer, whether it was because I felt sorry for the short meeting or because of the saintess’s sudden rash.
“Ah… me too, and the children of the monastery. The villagers are all kind, so they will definitely share fresh fruits, vegetables, and meat with Hayu…”
She folded her fingers and began to make excuses.
“Is it good? But it looks like the sun will set soon.”
“Yes… Oh!”
Speaking around, she removed her hand and stepped back.
I just realized her hand is on my thigh.
This person might be a fox unexpectedly.
I spoke while looking slightly above the saintess’ gaze.
“Today was very rude.”
“No! I was short-tempered.”
“no. I’d like to apologize. It happened because of me.”
“No, no!”
We apologized like that, but the moment our eyes met, we burst into laughter.
“…then can’t you see anymore?”
“I don’t know much about the academy, but they say there is a vacation.”
To be honest, I want to shake it all off.
The cookies were delicious, I didn’t want to throw them away, and the taste must have been excellent.
And I know what the saintess’ heart is.
“I will visit you at least once during vacation.”
“when? once in a while…? Do I have to come?”
Instead of answering, I looked at the sunset hill.
The golden grass was beautiful.
If I cross that hill, wouldn’t I be able to live a normal life according to her words?
But I’m a stranger, and now the clues to the game are starting to unravel.
No game has no purpose.
You have to go forward even for the sake of the 10 years you sacrificed and threw away.
“……”
The saintess was making a slightly pouty expression.
“Even a letter is a must.”
“of course.”
“What about the content? I’m curious about the academy, so please fill it with such information. not. I also want to hear about Mr. Hayu…”
“I’ll write enough of both and send it.”
As I smiled and cleaned up, she smiled too.
“Then, saintess, may you rest in peace.”
“Mr. Hayu. Oh wait! I have one last request.”
Request?
In a carriage with only two hot-blooded men and women, if it’s a request…
