Hero Manufacturing Machine - Volume 3 Sister Anesarya - 2

Since then, I have been going to church regularly.

I'm not asking for advice, I'm not asking for comfort, I'm just asking for her to listen to me.

Then.

It was worth having someone listen to me, soon I was mentally stable enough to carry out my duties normally.

There were voices questioning my actions: 'What business does a breeding horse have at the church? Could it be that he’s here to impregnate the nuns?' However, I couldn't care less about the rumors. 

So here I was, sitting in the confessional, a place I had grown accustomed to. I put the coins in the box, and again today, I spoke to the nun who was probably on the other side of the wall.

"I'm here today to say thank you."

"To thank me?"

"Yes, to thank you."

I continued.

"I think you've helped me calm down enough to be able to perform my duties normally." "Have you been able to come to terms with your feelings a little?" "Yes. Thanks to you." "That's really good. Congratulations." "Coming here really saved my heart. Thank you. I am truly grateful." "I haven’t done anything, but I'm happy that I could be of help."

"So."

"Hmm?"

I wasn't sure if I should just come out and say it.

But I had to say it. If I didn't say it, I wouldn't be able to move forward.

"Today I came to say goodbye to Sister." "Oh dear……" "Today will be the last time I come here." “……” The nun is silent, as if she can't find the words to say to me.

"I hope that sister will continue to be of help to those who are really suffering, just like you have been to me. I'm just making room for them."

"You must have been in pain too... You're so kind..."

"It's not like that. I'm just trying to help people who are suffering." I continued. "Well, it's not really the last time, I'll visit again if I have any problems in the future. I'll ask for your help again then."

"I'm sorry to see you go, but it's good for you, I am happy for you. I hope that you won't have to come here again, so I'll do my best to pray for you."

The Sister congratulates me, despite her contradictory feelings.

"I’m thankful, but there’s more to it than mere gratitude."

"Yes."

"I have personally donated some money to the church in addition to the coins I just put in the box, I hope you'll put it to good use. Well, it's a church with a lovely sister like you. So, I'm not worried about that at all."

"Oh, we've never met face-to-face and yet you think I am lovely. I could be an extremely ugly women you know."

"I don't know what you look like on the outside, but you have the most beautiful heart. I'm sure of it."

"Oh dear……" So, my church attendance, which had been going on for a while, suddenly stopped.
