Maybe they are more sensitive than dogs.
Dogs can still live with humans.
I had to put him back to sleep, but I was also worried that he would come running to me because of the sound of my breathing or snoring.
“Even if I come back and say goodnight……you can’t sleep, right?”
There was certainly no sign of sleep in those sparkling eyes.
Dearyn thought for a moment and then made a small gesture towards Sirius, who was still standing in the doorway.
Sirius looked at Dearyn's hand gestures as if he did not understand them.
“Come in.”
“?”
"If you're not going to sleep right away anyway, let's sit down and talk. If you talk, you might relax and fall asleep."
Deyarin also suddenly woke up.
Since it was going to end this way anyway, I thought it would be best to spend some time getting to know each other at least a little.
When Dearyn pointed to a table and chair on one side of the room, Sirius obediently sat down in the chair.
The sitting position was upright like a human body model. The spine was expected to be so straight that an orthopedist would admire it as beautiful.
'Make some tea...it's annoying.'
A tea set was provided in a cupboard on one side of the room.
However, you had to go to the kitchen to boil hot water. It was very annoying.
There was water floating while cleaning.
Dearyn looked at Sirius as she poured water into the teapot.
“Don't be surprised.”
And nothing has happened yet. Sirius just tilted his head.
Diaren placed the teapot in her hands and closed her eyes.
The water quickly boiled in an instant.
“!”
Only then did Sirius widen his eyes in surprise.
“Battle fuse?”
"no."
There are different types of shrines.
A “mere priest” is someone who simply applies to become a priest and takes a theological course.
I heard that the number of applicants increased as the war went on, thanks to the advantage of not starving at least. According to rumours, there are too many applicants for whom theological education courses are paid, and the failure rate of students in the examination is also very high.
Dearyn was “just a priestess” when she came this way, but her divine power later appeared.
Regardless of theological education, there are cases in which people are ordained as priests because they were born with divine abilities.
He is called the “true priest” and is respected by the public and cherished by the temples.
However, life does not flourish in full bloom.
While priests simply enrich the temple through physical and mental labor, priests with this divine power absorb divine power to enrich the temple. A little more chunky.
A priest who should aim to live a simple life will never have a full stomach.
There are priests who illegally take bribes and prey on people to enrich themselves, but Dearyn had no such business skills.
Finally, there is a priest with special divine power, called the “Battle Priest.”
Divine power is mostly expressed as healing power. However, in very rare cases, there are people who can wield powers other than healing powers, such as telekinesis or firepower.
In general, they fall into the category of “true priests,” but are usually deployed in battle and are called “battle priests.”
When you only hear the names telekinesis or firepower, it may seem like something unbelievable, but the divine power possessed by humans has its limits.
Even the priest who historically had the strongest divine power and was called the “beloved son of the ruler” could not resurrect the dead. There were some things that even the strongest divine power could handle and some things that it could not.
The battle fuse was also, at best, faster than lighting a gun by hand, or able to hit the target accurately rather than aiming and firing a bow.
Combat priests are unconditionally sent to the front lines.
M.M.: The battle fuse is a power of the priests
You can become popular and get promoted quickly. The probability of dying so quickly is also high.
Dayarin didn't want to gamble with her life to that extent. So I hid it.
“It's a secret.”
Where could Sirius go to talk? But if you share secrets, you become closer.
Dearen quickly poured the brewed tea into the teacup and narrowed one of his eyes.
Sirius nodded with a puzzled expression.
“Oh, can I turn on the light?”
“……Huh.”
Sirius was hesitant, but gave permission, saying he would tolerate it.
The lamp was also lit with divine power. It had more firepower than a small ember, so a large flame rose and then became smaller.
“……Oh wow.”
Sirius reacted sharply immediately.
“Shall we turn it off?”
Deyarin tensed and quickly prepared to cover the fire with her palm.
He was the type to run towards me when he heard a snoring sound, so I had to be more careful when turning on the lights.
Right now, Dearyn was awake and watching Sirius.
“…….”
Sirius didn't say "yes."
The flames alerted me briefly, but they never seemed to become sharp, let alone loud.
Oh, Darren, breathe a sigh of relief.
“Please have some tea. If you feel warm inside, your nerves can calm down a bit.”
He was looking at the teacup from a distance, so I told him about it, and he started drinking it all at once as if it were dinner.
“Slowly, sip by sip, savor the scent.”
Deyarin quickly stopped him.
The tea cup is already half empty.
Sirius looked at me and slowly passed the neckline.
Honey… ways.
It wasn't like he knew the taste or smell. Dyaren asked me to drink it slowly, so I did.
You can't fill up after the first drink.
Today I decided to be satisfied with just taking it a sip at a time.
However, was it because the warm liquid entered his stomach? Sirius' face looked a little relieved.
“Are you feeling better?”
"a little."
"Thank God."
It's the same feeling you get when you see a dog wandering down the street eating a piece of bread you hold out to it. It's like feeling proud as a living being.
“Can you still hear other sounds besides my breathing?”
“Huh.”
“What are you talking about?”
“There are three birds outside the window, moving from branch to branch. Five mice. The guard at the main gate is changing.”
“……Can you hear all of that?”
Dearyn opened her mouth wide.
Sirius nodded.
“How does that happen?”
"an exercise."
“……Can you do that with training?”
“Huh.”
He is someone who has lived almost his entire life on the battlefield since he was young.
Nothing is more important than killing the enemy and staying alive.
In order to survive, you had to listen, see and move better than others.
In combat, sensitivity is useful for survival, but is it really necessary to be that sensitive?
Dearyn became a little dazed.
“How can you not feel crazy listening to all this noise?...”
While I was saying that, a realization came to me.
“……Oh, so you’re crazy?”
I finally understood who this crazy bastard was.
It's impossible not to go crazy listening to everything like this.
* * *
Birds chirped cheerfully in the early morning.
"…… the morning……."
Deyarin looked out the bluish window and mumbled absently.
I couldn't sleep a wink all night.
She gave Ceres tea, encouraged him to grow well, imbued him with divine power, and restored him.
After that, Sirius never attacked again.
But since then, Deyarin's nerves began to fray.
He couldn't even breathe comfortably because he thought every sound he made was reaching Sirius' ears.
“How can I breathe?!”
I spent the whole night worrying about it, inhaling and exhaling awkwardly, and the day was wasted.
I couldn't breathe properly and my head was pounding.
The sound of birds chirping, which normally made me feel refreshed, sounded like an awl piercing my head.
“Ugh…….”
Dearyn, who was groaning and clutching her head, hurriedly covered her mouth.
What if Sirius didn't sleep as well as I did?
Even upon hearing this sound, he may explode and run away.
People who cannot sleep become more sensitive. It was terrifying to imagine that Sirius, who was already sensitive, became even more sensitive there.
I was hearing Sirius' roars as an auditory hallucination.
Today could truly be the last day in this life.
‘What do we do…….’
I didn't have the courage to go and check.
While I was thinking about that, my stomach made a growling noise. Yesterday's last meal was something somewhere between terrible food and the waste I make. I brought it to my room, but I couldn't finish it, so almost everything remained.
My stomach, which had been starving all night, was desperately insisting that I get something to eat quickly.
Sirius must have been hungry by now too.
‘……Ah!’
Just feed him first!
When your stomach is full, your nerves calm down.
Looking at what he ate yesterday, he seems to eat well no matter what you give him, so let's feed him breakfast first.
Dearyn found a way and moved quickly.
I actually got into the habit of doing my morning routine quickly.
Whether in the temple or on the battlefield, speed is life.
Even though she had just woken up from sleep, it was a moment for the priest to look like his normal self.
'Right.'
Since it's an emergency in the morning, there are a lot of things I forget.
Dearren, who had been heading straight to the kitchen, turned and headed towards the front door.
Diarin saw the guards at the main gate and were happy.
"Good morning! Oh my goodness, your skin is so… I think you had a hard time all night."
“Haha…yeah.”
I did it, hard work.
Both guards let their imaginations run wild when they saw Dearyn's reaction of helplessly laughing.
“Using divine power is usually not that difficult, right? It seems that you are having difficulty treating the wounds of a war hero, so you should pay extra attention to that.”
“Ha ha ha ha…….”
Yes. You don't know that war hero is a crazy dog.
Deyarin could barely suppress the tears that burst inside her with a smile.
How were you selected for this dangerous job?
They may only think about stopping external enemies, but on the contrary, their main task will be to prevent Ceres from rushing inward.
Although it was almost mandatory,
However, he knew her and supported her. They knew nothing and were guarding the front of the messenger.
A bitter feeling of solidarity arose when we shared our hardships with each other.
"You're tired. How did you get here? Do you need anything?"
“Ah, I have something to tell you, Robin.”
“What do you have to tell me?”
Dearyn opened her mouth but stopped.
