Orphan Adventure in the Blue Sea
Chapter 6 Giselle in the Cathedral

After saying that, Johan tightened his tie. Put your jacket back on.

“I'll go to the cathedral and see Giselle. See you Tuesday, Diethelm!”

　With that, Johannes waved his hand and ran off to say goodbye to Diethelm.

`As always, my little sister is devoted to herself...'' Diethelm muttered, gazing towards the cathedral as if soaring into the sky and could be seen from anywhere in the city.

(Giselle-chan.. Giselle-chan... Giselle.!!).

　Every time he started running, Johan inevitably felt his heart pounding in his chest.

　After a quick run, Johan reached the foot of the cathedral and opened the door.

　This is the Cathedral of Saint-Michel. The art of stained glass that stretches up to high ceilings sparkles beautifully in the sun.

`Brother!'' Inside the altar, a girl was praying to the god of the cross after receiving a blessing from the priest... Giselle, her beloved sister, turned around and shouted.

　The priest gently told her to leave, so Giselle stopped praying and ran towards Johan, who was slightly out of breath.

"Giselle!!" greet the two brothers while hugging.

"Are you being a good girl today, Giselle? How's work?"

`my is working on embroidery, and the handkerchief embroidery I made last time seems to be selling well, Gisele said with a smile.

"Yes that's good."

"Sister, aren't you hurt today? Are you all right?"

"Huh? Me? Oh, I got some bruises, but it's nothing..."

　While saying so, Giselle tried to take off her brother's jacket, ignoring Johan who was slightly blushed and started to feel nervous.

“Brother, show me. I'll cure you.”

`Ji, Giselle...Alright, I will take it off myself, Johan said and hurriedly took off his jacket.

　The priest and several sisters ran towards me anxiously.

　If you look closely, you can see a lot of purple bruises on the biceps and the right rib of Johannes.

`Onii-chan, it looks like your bones are not broken... Did you fight with someone today?'' Giselle asked worriedly.

"Ah, right too, Giselle. The daughter of a noble is kidnapped in the city. I have a crush on that group of bad guys. Brother."

“As expected of my brother! You saved the hostage!”

"Oh, right. Giselle-chan."

`Wait a long time, Brother, Gisele said as she rolled up her long-sleeved clothes and began treatment.

"Chiangel/Safety"

　Giselle said as she raised her hand, and a warm yellow light shone on Johan's wound.

　Johan felt a warm and soothing strength flowing into the wounds on his body.

　After a few seconds, the purple bruise disappeared.

"It's okay Giselle, go on!" whispered brother and sister who is the magic teacher of Giselle treatment.

"What's..." Johan who grimaced in pain slowly softened his expression.

`Thank you, Giselle, Johan said with a smile while wearing a jacket after treatment.

“You have a good sister,” a priest in his 30s or 40s told Johan.

"It's okay, Johan-kun. Brother and sister will always be friends."

One stool and opening the Bible, she heard the sound of Giselle praying with the sisters at the altar.

“God who protects the truth,

　Answer my cry, please,

　Give you a break even in your trouble,

　Have mercy on me and watch over me.

　Friend, until when will you close your heart?

　Do you pursue pride and seek pretense?

　God chose me and took me as his own.

　God heard my cry.

　Fear God and do not sin.

　Check your heart quietly on the floor.

　offer the right sacrifice,

　Believe in God. ”

　Giselle and the sisters knelt to the cross at the altar and prayed.

(Hmm Giselle-chan, yesterday you said it while looking at the Bible, but now you memorize it.), Johan thought.

　Moments later, after Giselle prayed as she wished, the brothers thanked the pastor and sister and decided to leave the church.

“Giselle, can you wear that locket today?”

　On the way home, Johan asked Giselle while holding her hand.

"Yes, Brother! The missing mother's chain..."

　They called the blue pendant, a memento their mother left behind when Johan was seven years old, as a lost chain.''

　This is because the priest told me, `Please name this pendant like this. This is a message from your mother.''

“Giselle-chan, I will not say anything bad, but I think it is impossible for you to answer the mysterious question about the missing chain..Today, we are waiting for the priest and the traveler. ?”

"Yes, sister... I mean, isn't this what our mother gave us? We really need to finish it... After all, sister is almost old enough to be an adult."

　It was the spring of 4352 in the Ibhar calendar. Johan will soon turn 18 and become an adult.

"Giselle-chan, i..."

　On the way home hand in hand with Giselle, Johan stops.

“For me, Giselle-chan. As long as you're healthy, have fun, and smile, it doesn't matter to me. According to big brother, it is not good if you are constantly stuck in a lost chain...”.

"But……"

"Yes, right, Giselle... But, I'm sure your mother has left us... Those mementos might be some kind of toy..."

　The missing chain was a blue pendant that looked like a large sapphire, but he made sure that there was a button on the back. The moment you press the button, light is projected from the missing chain, and a mysterious question appears on the wall.

　Since childhood, they try to answer mysterious questions in dark rooms by projecting light onto walls. However, about 10 years have passed since then, and no answer has been found yet.
