“Are people who are blessed by the Gods attracted to each other?…………….. What were you talking about with Lady Meria earlier?”

Selesina was expecting to immediately start talking about the engagement but he began to chat. Selesina was relieved as she began to explain what happened earlier.

“I was learning how to pray from Lady Meria in order to access the power of my blessings. Since I can’t use the power of my blessings out of my own free will even though I’m blessed by a Goddess……………”

Selesina explained to him that Meria taught her how to use her powers.

“I see. The method to use your……….powers. It’s certainly precious to be able to use your own powers freely.”

Lucaria nodded and continued the conversation.

“In that case, why don’t you leave it to me if you have some time?”

“Eh?”

“I’m still young but I’m still the head of the temple so I may be able to help you out.”

Selesina was happy but she wondered what it would be like to learn—-from Lucaria himself. 

He was certainly so busy that he couldn’t afford to waste time.

Selesina was concerned but Lucaria smiled warmly and came and sat next to her.

“Please take it easy Lady Selesina. After all, I had promised you that I would investigate some more about your blessings right?”

“—–! Perhaps, did you find something?”

Selesina exclaimed and Lucaria smiled in affirmation.

“Even in the shrine, only a few people are allowed to read it.”

“That kind of information………….”

It must be a rare form of blessings———-No, Selesina thought that it might have been kept a closely guarded secret due to the terrifying power of the blessings.

‘Hisui and Lucaria’s aide is here as well.’

It may not be possible to talk about it right now.

“Thank you for investigation it for me even though you’re so busy Lord Lucaria.”

“No. I’m also interested in the power of the blessings after all……………….We can relax and talk about the details at the next opportunity.”

“Yes.”

‘As I thought, it might be difficult to say it right now.’

Besides, Selesina had the power to change her destiny—–she couldn’t possibly say something like that here.

“That’s why let’s try and feel the power of the blessings……..before we read about it.”

Lucaria touched his forehead and his seal of blessings began to faintly glow. That was a sign that the power of the blessings…………was in use.

The beautiful sight was fascinating.

“The method that you spoke about earlier, where you pray to the God that you received blessings for is often used in the shrines as well Lady Selesina. It is even believed that if you pray and talk daily then you may be able to hold a dialogue on rare occasions.”

“A dialogue?”

Looks like receiving a response when you try talking to the Gods isn’t something to be that amazed about. Selesina was quite surprised but he shook his head.

“Even I haven’t heard of communicated in words. I’m still young so may just not have heard about it though.”

“It’s not that easy, is it”

“That’s right.”

Lucaria was at the pinnacle of the temple so if he couldn’t do it then probably no one could, Selesina thought.

‘The flower shook in response to Lady Meria’s call but a dialogue is different.’

“Each deity has their own preferences.”

“Preferences?”

Lucaria gently smiled as Selesina ruminated.

“For example, the God of light Baldor who has graced me with his blessings likes natural places full of warm light.”

“Places……….”

“As a concrete example, the place where the great tree is planted in the great shrine. He seems to like that place so it’s easy to use my powers there.”

Selesina had never thought about what the deities liked before.

‘Ah come to think of it……………. Lady Meria is blessed by the God of Fertility Frey so her powers would probably be stronger if she were to use plants.’

In other words, that method was suitable for her.

However, Selesina didn’t even know the name of the goddess that blessed her, and she had no idea what the goddess liked.

Lucaria was blessed by the God of light so it was easy to imagine what he would like.

Then what about the Goddess that blessed Selesina?

What does the Goddess that gives the power to choose one’s own destiny like?

‘Unnn, I can’t imagine it at all.’

Maybe fate counseling……………or how about life counseling? It felt like such a  joke that Selesina was really overwhelmed.

She finished her first life as a Japanese and then she was judged to have no blessings in her second life. It was turbulent for Selesina.  Was it good or was it bad?

“Perhaps you thought of something?”

Lucaria asked.

“Ah, no…………..”

There was no way she could say that maybe she could try life counseling. Even if the other party is a Goddess, she may be taken as a fool.

Selesina smiled as if she was trouble and Lucaria said, “Let’s try it.”

“Eh?”

“Of course we won’t get direct answers to the questions we ask but……………..we may be able to touch the Goddess somehow.”

Lucaria took Selesina’s hand, smiled cheerfully, and said.

“I’ll explain it to you.”
