Chapter 20: We Are All Pieces of Flesh
My Lord’s commandment was to cherish the potential of others.
He doesn’t mean just the humans, but all those with intelligence and the ability to think.
As I woke up, I remembered the Lord’s words. Thus, I prayed.
Even if it’s called prayer, it’s nothing grand. They are simply things I do out of my own free will. With my meager talents, I cannot create magnificent prayers like those of the Trinity Church.
“The Lord is ever present. As his servant here I am. Have mercy on us all. Amen.”
I just repeat a single phrase over and over.
When I pray, it’s almost as if my perception improved, allowing me to see things even with my eyes closed.
I saw Roka staggering into my room. Rubbing her eyes with her hands, she looked drowsy as if not fully awake from sleep.
“Yawn~ Were you praying, Master?”
“Hm? Now, why would you be awake at this early hour? You can still sleep a bit more if you want to.”
“Ah...I tried...But there’s this stench of rotting corpses outside.”
