"I once thought that I was as good as the magicians in the Clock Tower said. I once thought that if it were me, I would definitely be able to open up a new subject in the Clock Tower and bring about a new era."

Taking off the mask and disguise that he had been wearing on his face, Kirshtalia was just like an ordinary man, chattering and murmuring.

He had a rather cheerful expression on his face. The smile looks very sunny, but it also makes people feel a little silly, and even makes them want to make some lame jokes, although the jokes are not funny at all, but more like cold jokes.

"However, in the Clock Tower, excessive talent is not something to be proud of. On the contrary, it is a symbol of danger. Although now, I don’t think I have any talent."

"……That year, very near here, I was assassinated by my father, because the people who assassinated me were all magicians in the family. They knew me well enough that my magic costume had no reaction."

Speaking of this, Kirshtalia's face flashed with fright. It was not that he remembered what had happened, but that when Roy came behind him not long ago, his magic costume did not respond at all..

Once bitten by a snake, he has been afraid of ropes for ten years. Even if the chief of the astronomy department is a magician, he is still a human being. Naturally, he will have psychological problems unique to humans.

"The weapon used by the opponent was the 'poison' obtained from a magician named Emiya Kiritsugu. It can destroy the magic circuit of the magician and completely turn the magician into a useless person."

"……I have investigated later and it can be said that the previous Lord of El-Melloi died of this kind of poison."

"After that, I thought I was dead, but when I woke up, I was saved by a street kid, ah, the poor beggar kid who can be seen everywhere."

Kirshtalia didn't have any self-mockery about how a noble magician, an excellent magician praised by the Clock Tower, was saved by a beggar. Instead, he showed a sincere smile.

"There is a magic gift in his hand. I don’t know where he picked it up or maybe there was a magician in his family. It is a pretty good magic gift that can eliminate the presence and breath of people."

"……Because of that costume, I escaped subsequent searches and pursuits for my 'corpse'. That child, even though he was a beggar and a street child, could still live easily by relying on that costume."

"I was seriously injured at the time and my magic circuit was in a mess, but my survival instinct still kept me alive. I knew that as long as I could see my grandfather or my teacher, I would have a chance to continue living."

"……However, the magic circuit was damaged and I couldn't get out of bed for more than ten days. It was the child who helped me and saved me."

Kirshtalia's voice became deeper and deeper, and the smile on her face was bright but lonely,"……In the first few days, I still ate soft bread, but in the next few days, the food I ate became worse and worse."

"I know that those soft breads are the storage left by the child, but the two of them finished them quickly. If there is no food, they need to find it."

"……He had the magic gift, so he could get food easily, but in order to protect me, he left the magic gift with me and went out to find food by himself."

"He had nothing, and I had no money at that time, so he had no choice but to steal. But he was too thin and had no experience in stealing. He was always discovered and beaten."

Kirshtalia's voice became smaller and smaller, and her expression showed pain and yearning for those days.

"In the end, I survived, but the child died of hunger and injuries. He was smiling all the time before he left. He even stuttered and could not speak complete sentences. Stupid kid"

"……Ah, this is natural, he is just a beggar, a good-for-nothing waste, and I am the next head of the Wodem family, a genius praised by the Clock Tower, a great person who can lead an era as long as he grows up. magician"

"It is only natural that he exchanged his own life for my survival. If we put our lives on both ends of the scale, my life should be countless times more important than his!"

Although she spoke extremely cold words, the expression on Kirshtalia's face was full of softness.

"It was also from that time that I realized that I was not the genius that people call me, nor was I a magician who could lead a new era. Look, if it hadn't been for the help of a beggar with his life, I would have died."

"……I am just an ordinary person, and those prides, arrogance, and so-called honors are all false. From then on, I knew that my past life was wrong, and I should take a new path!"

Kirshtalia's voice gradually became stronger, he clenched his fists, and his whole body became extremely determined.

"I don't believe in God. I'm sorry, Supreme Bishop, to say such rude words in front of you... But if possible, I hope that child, the angel who changed my life, can ascend to heaven and never suffer again!"

Kirshtalia hoped and expected so sincerely. Although he said he did not believe in God, Roy saw that the man named Kirshtalia had a desire for God. In other words

, , he hopes that there are gods in this world, so that the injustices can be healed and the gods can take away the pain.

There are magicians who hope that the world can return to the age of gods, but what those magicians long for is to get a great source of magic after returning to the age of gods. With the blessing of the gods, he became the magic of the Age of Gods. This man also longed for God, but that was not for magic, but for the entire human race.

Regardless of whether this idea is right or wrong, but at this moment, Roy clearly saw the nobility in Kirshtalia's soul.

Roy's eyes stared at Kirshtalia for a long time, and then he said slowly:

"……I don’t know if that child is an angel, but at this moment, Kirshtalia Wodem, your heart is so pure, your soul is so holy, and now you are more like an angel. An angel."

After the words fell, this handsome-looking man who was extremely excellent in all aspects, like a prince, suddenly became shy. He glanced at Roy and quickly looked away, saying embarrassedly:

"……When you said that, I felt a little shy."

Roy was silent, but he was slandering in his heart, why are you blushing like a grown man?

"Now I don't look like a magician at all. If the teacher knew, if the people in the clock tower knew, if my family knew, they would definitely be disappointed."

Despite saying this, Kirshtalia didn't feel any regret at all. Instead, it was as if her soul had broken free from its shackles and turned into a free-flying bird.

"Although you are no longer a magician, you are more like a 'human', Kirshtalia... If he were an orthodox magician, even if he had been saved by others, he would be ashamed of himself. Being touched by such a despicable person gave rise to murderous intentions."

Roy's words silenced Kirshtalia.

He knew that what Roy said was correct. If it was not him who was rescued, but another magician, maybe that magician would definitely kill that magician. Child.

Not only is it disgusting to be touched by such a beggar, but I am afraid that I will also be greedy for the magic gift that child possesses.

"You are right, a magician like that cannot be called a human being at all.’……"

Kirshtalia said seriously.

For a while, the two fell silent.

After a while, Kirshtalia said sheepishly:"……I'm really sorry, His Excellency the Supreme Bishop, for saying something that you thought might be boring."

"……But I don’t know why, in front of you, I feel that I should tell the truth and show my true side. I just hope you don’t tell the teachers, otherwise they will be disappointed in me."

The chief student of the Astronomy Department, Olga Marie's senior brother, felt guilty like a big boy at this time.

"You are praying to God, you are telling God your sins, God will forgive you and bless you, my child!"

Roy smiled at him, which made Kirshtalia's anxious heart calm down.
