Part 6 The Light-Exporter Chapter 75 – Opening Up

　　Hearing Ms. Justice’s slightly depressed and confused words, Klein felt a little bit of sympathy, because he had also had similar thoughts before.

　　Recalling for a few seconds the chicken soup for the soul he had read in his last life, he said with deliberation:

　　”The death of a father is so small to the whole of Ruin, it can happen every day, even more than one, but to his children his family, it is a big enough event to change destiny.

　　”In the same way, everyone less than the angelic level is doomed, bound to pass away and be buried, but that doesn’t mean that the time between our birth and death is meaningless.”

　　”Justice,” Audrey said again in that self-deprecating tone as she listened with a slight nod:

　　”I understand all of that, it’s just that the hidden secrets you just spoke of came as such a shock that I couldn’t control my emotions for a moment.

　　”As a ‘psychiatrist’, I can’t believe I need someone else to open up ……”

　　Klein laughed:

　　”Isn’t that a normal thing? Often times, we can cognize whether or not someone else’s state is normal, but we can’t see our own problems clearly. Didn’t you say that before? Occasionally, Susie and I would open up to each other.”

　　Because Dawn Dantes had met Susie, the big golden-haired dog, Audrey did not hide the relevant things in the casual conversation.

　　Audrey nodded gently and said:

　　”Well …… that’s right.

　　”I’ve figured it out, do what I can do and leave no regrets.”

　　She gradually adjusted her mental state.

　　Klein then said:

　　”It’s not just a matter of leaving no regrets, maybe what we’re doing can also build up strength to fight against Armageddon.

　　”Compared to the whole, this is small, but even the widest desert is made up of grains of sand, and even the ocean that can’t see the edge is made up of drops of water, so as long as everyone has a bit of heat and sends out a bit of light, it might be able to bring a bit of hope.”

　　”Have a little heat, give a little light ……” Audrey whispered, repeating the key words in the words of Germaine “The World” Sparrow.

　　”That’s not what I said.” Klein added with a smile.

　　Audrey tickled the corners of her mouth and responded with a light smile:

　　”Did Roselle the Great say it?”

　　This I don’t know if he said it …… Turning over his quotes I had to endure a strong sense of shame, and I have not been able to read it …… Klein did not make an affirmative answer, nor did he deny it, and turned to say:

　　”Start hypnotizing me, so that I forget the ‘Starry Night’ related things and remember only the appropriate warnings.”

　　”Wait a little longer, there is something I would like to ask you.” Audrey made her request graciously, and took the opportunity to talk about what she had done lately, and the difficulties she had encountered, and the perplexity in her mind, “Mr. …… ‘World’, what do you suggest? What can I do to keep the people of Berkland from suffering too much disaster before the war is over?”

　　As for stopping the war, as much as she wanted to, she rationally knew that she didn’t have that power.

　　At the same time, she also understood that even Mr. World couldn’t do it, and even Mr. Fool himself could only reverse the situation, but couldn’t interrupt the war, after all, this world war was essentially a fight between the gods.

　　Klein hesitated for a few seconds, but still said frankly:

　　”Although the ‘audience’ pathway has to be behind the scenes as much as possible, and although I myself do things keeping in mind words such as ‘caution’ and ‘be careful’, and try not to put myself in dangerous situations. put myself in dangerous situations ……”

　　As he spoke, “Justice” Audrey subconsciously said a couple words back in her mind:

　　From all the rumors on the sea, Forsyth’s description and the demigod battle I witnessed, I don’t see “cautious” and “careful” at all, only “strong” and “aggressive”. Only “strong” and “aggressive.”…… Well, if you can do those things and still survive, strength alone is not enough. ……

　　Klein saw that Ms. “Justice” was listening very carefully, her turquoise eyes were full of concentration, so she continued:

　　”But in this world, it’s impossible for anything to be solved easily and simply without taking risks.

　　”There are times when I do something with the idea that ‘it might kill me’.”

　　”Justice,” the mumbling in Audrey’s mind stopped, and she was silent for a while before she spoke slowly:

　　”I see what you mean.

　　”Doing what you want to do and being absolutely safe can’t be balanced in a lot of cases, it has to be one or the other.”

　　Klein nodded, deciding to make Ms. “Justice” more aware of the reality of this world, so that she wouldn’t be too idealistic in her actions:

　　”Of the methods you just mentioned, the most feasible, least risky, and most helpful to the people of Beckland at the moment is to obtain food from the nobles, the church, the big merchants, and the royal family.”

　　”Why isn’t it to loot food from the armies of Forsak, Intis, and Feneport?” Audrey subconsciously asked.

　　Klein said calmly:

　　”Because these three armies have already penetrated deep into the territory of Ruen, even if you can break through the demigod’s watchful eye and succeed in snatching the food, they won’t collapse, and will surely scavenge the surrounding populace for food to sustain them, and won’t be affected much in the short term, but as for the long term, you probably won’t be able to wait for that time.”

　　In that case, who really suffered was clear to Audrey as soon as she heard it.

　　This was the difference between pre-God War wars and ordinary wars.

　　”And I can’t do this thing, the ‘Traveler’s Bag’ has a limited capacity, and the ‘Teleportation’ that the ‘Lemanor’s Traveling Notebook’ can record is also .” “Justice,” Audrey enlightened herself and asked thoughtfully, “If I did obtain food from nobles, merchants, and royals, and the church found traces of it, what would be the reaction?”

　　Klein kept his tone from earlier and said:

　　”Acquiescence.”

　　…… Audrey vaguely felt that the answer was this, but couldn’t figure out the reason for a moment.

　　Klein continued:

　　”Believers are the anchor of the gods, and a believer is an anchor point; in this regard, a noble and a pauper are essentially indistinguishable, no one is more noble, no one is more lowly.

　　”In normal times, nobles and merchants can use their position, power, wealth and influence to help the church maintain its system and spread the faith, so they are more valued, but now in this situation, a few thousand anchors and hundreds of thousands of millions of anchors, who is more important?

　　”It’s a simple math problem.”

　　In the face of this reality that had ripped off the veil of warmth, “Justice” Audrey briefly couldn’t even say anything.

　　Seeing this, Klein added:

　　”In that respect, what you’re trying to do makes sense on a larger level, too:

　　”You’ve helped the ‘Goddess of the Night’ and the ‘Lord of Storms’ to stabilize the anchor, and in the future, that may be the key point in the fight against Armageddon.”

　　”Justice,” Audrey’s lips pursed up a little bit, and it took a long time before they loosened up, and she let out a low laugh:

　　”I just realized that I’m actually still a little proud of my noble status inside.”

　　”Nobility is character not status.” Klein said the rest of the words for her.

　　Audrey exhaled slowly, soothing her troubled heart and did not make up her mind on this.

　　She said casually:

　　”Our Tarot Society seems to have a pretty good relationship with the Church, uh, the Church of Darkness.

　　”Mr. ‘Fool’ and the ‘Goddess of Darkness’ are allies?”

　　This question is difficult for me …… I would like to be allies with the Goddess, but the Goddess may not look at it …… Klein belabored it twice before saying rather seriously:

　　”It is currently considered an ally.”

　　He deliberately emphasized currently, lest he be hit in the face by reality in the future.

　　At the same time, he mumbled the real answer in his mind:

　　As things stand now, the Goddess is an angel investor in the Tarot Society and a major shareholder ……

　　”Justice,” Audrey said with a slow nod of her head, suddenly spreading a smile:

　　”I was wondering what you were muttering in your mind when you answered ‘sort of an ally at the moment’, that must have been interesting, as it was when exploring Levihide.”

　　……Miss，”Psychiatrist “is not suitable to joke with patients like this …… Is it because of too much idle chatting in the last half year, familiarizing a lot and revealing his nature? Please respect the adventurer in front of you, who is known for being cold and crazy …… Well, I have to say that the ability of the “audience” to adjust their own emotions is just as strong …… Blame Leonard for that time! …… Klein was stunned at first, then pretended that nothing happened, then leaned back in his chair and said:

　　”Begin.”

　　Audrey immediately collected all the emotions, began to seriously and carefully try to “hypnosis”.

　　When it was over, Klein confirmed through the Crimson Star that Ms. Justice had not been watched by the “old days” after returning to the real world.

　　Of course, he had already forgotten that this was related to the “Old Days” or “Outer Gods”, but from the state of Ms. Justice, there was certainly no abnormality.

　　Phew …… Klein breathed a sigh of relief and threw the paper that had awakened this memory of his into the pile of clutter, telling himself that he would look at it again when he became an angel.

　　……

　　Bakerland, Bridge District, inside an apartment building.

　　Emlyn White looked across the room at Marich, who had suddenly appeared, removed his bowler hat, and saluted with great poise.

　　”What can I do for you?” Marich said as he sat on the couch, leaning forward and crossing his arms.

　　Emlyn pulled up a chair and sat down, smiling and asking:

　　”Do you still want to deal with the important figures in the indulgence department of the Rose School?”

　　”You have a clue?” Marich asked back with an indifferent face.

　　Emlyn, surely prepared for a “visit,” said nonchalantly:

　　”It’s true that I don’t have the slightest clue as to the head of the Rose School in Berkland.

　　”However, after the war turned white-hot, the South Continent’s East and West Byron, the Star Plateau, the Pas River Valley, and the Hagati Grasslands all became chaotic, and many of the Rose School’s Demigods surfaced and stepped onto the stage, and are no longer so difficult to pin down.”

　　Maric said with a glance at the red-eyed, thin-lipped Emlyn:

　　”Which duke or marquis of the Blood Clan are you representing to say these words?”

　　”Can’t I represent myself?” Emlyn asked rhetorically with a slight lift of his chin and a smile.

　　Marich shook his head seriously and said:

　　”You’re just a Sequence 5, you’re not qualified enough.”

　　He said it so directly that Emlyn didn’t know how to take the remark for a moment.
