Chapter 609: 86. Death Godâs ProofAfter several seconds of reading, he gently looked up and glanced at the Rabbit woman who was still on the ground.
âAh, ah? Yes, itâs mineâŚâ
âThatâs good, I just saw you drop something, so⌠can you get up now? The ground is quite cold.â
The crowd around her began to dissipate, and Ilois, catching her breath, watched the platform widen and couldnât help feeling a bit shaken.
Was catching a train always this terrifying? She had almost been crushed by the crowd just moments agoâŚ
She hastily patted her hands and stood up, somewhat embarrassed as she approached the somewhat strange gentleman and began to speak,
âIâm so sorry, I donât know why, but the crowd suddenly grew and they wouldnât heed my calls. I accidentally got knocked over. This is my book, thank you for picking it up for me; it means a lot to me.â
The gentleman with the bird mask nodded, gently placing the book back into Iloisâs hands. He glanced behind him, his voice still even,
âThere was a train just now, so itâs normal for people to rush for it. Just be more careful next time, though this situation is rare⌠By the way, why is this book so important to you?â
As Ilois carefully tucked the Creation Scripture into the lining of her heavy fur garment, inadvertently revealing the black nunâs habit beneath, the gentleman stared at the nunâs collar for a long time, contemplating something.
âBecause I am a nun, the Creation Scripture is important to all of Mother Goddessâs children. Oh, am I late? I hope my train hasnât already left. Let me see⌠Thank goodness, thereâs still time. I was scared to death.â
Ilois let out a sigh of relief and sat back down on the nearby bench. Strangely enough, there had been so many tourists just a moment ago, but now it seemed as if there were only the two of them on the platform.
Was she just too uninformed? Was it always like this on a train?
The rural Ilois looked around, mulling this over internally, but didnât notice that the gentleman with the bird mask had somehow taken a seat on the same bench, only at the other end, quite far from her.
âYou are a demi-human and yet a nun of the Church, thatâs fascinating⌠Iâve heard that the Churches on the Western Continent are intolerant of demi-humans and heretics. How did you become a nun?â
âAs long as one is devout, all are Mother Goddessâs dearest children.â
Ilois puffed up her cheeks, rebutting the tactless gentleman beside her with words taught to her by Fisher.
âEven if you are a demi-human?â
âUmm⌠so what if Iâm a demi-human? I have a license, and I manage the Healing Corruption Churchâthe last one in McDowell. Iâm even more devout than other nuns. Mother Goddess will like me.â
The bird-masked gentleman beside her let out a vaguely amused chuckle and shook his head, his elegant posture unintentionally relaxing as he spoke,
âThat is indeed true; I can sense that your faith is profound.â
â⌠I havenât even asked, why are you wearing such a mask on your face? It looks frightening.â
âDonât you have a pair of scary big ears on your head, too?â
Ilois was left speechless with indignation, what did he mean by scary big ears? Those were the most beautiful feature of the Moon Rabbit Species!
Clearly, this guy was nothing like Mr. Fisher; he discriminated against demi-humans!
Ilois suddenly lost the desire to talk more with him, but then she remembered that this person had at least helped her pick up the Creation Scripture. Wouldnât it be rude to treat him poorly?
Just as she was about to speak, the bell inside the train station rang again, and a shrill whistle echoed from a distance down the tracks, interrupting Iloisâs words.
She glanced at the clock and quickly stood up,
âAh, my train is here, I better hurry or Iâll get knocked over again by those people⌠Are you not taking the train?â
Holding the Creation Scripture tucked in her fur garment and learning from her earlier experience, Ilois started to walk toward the train, noticing that there were far fewer passengers this time, not the frightening crowd from before. She shook her head, puzzled. But when she turned back, she saw that the strange gentleman was still sitting calmly in his place, with no intention of moving.
Hearing Iloisâs remark, he looked up and pointed to another set of tracks behind him, stating,
âIâm not on the same route as you, Iâm going to Mia, which is in the opposite direction⌠Well, what happened just now wonât occur again, but you should really work on strengthening your body. You are too weak; that wonât do.â
Ilois pouted at the gentlemanâs advice but nodded earnestly in agreement,
âI understand⌠By the way, I didnât ask for your name. You helped me just now, and I rarely leave the Church, so I may be lacking in manners. My name is Ilois, a nun of the Healing Corruption Church.â
â⌠I am Erwin.â
âAlright then, Iâm off. May the Mother Goddess bless you, Mr. Erwin.â
Ilois made a standard Mother Goddess prayer gesture, her face beaming with a warm and adorable smile that caught the glances of other boarding passengers. However, the gentleman with the bird mask remained unmoved, with no additional response, merely nodding,
âMother Goddess has already blessed you, lucky little Rabbit, farewell.â
âEh?â
Ilois had boarded the train, and at that moment, Erwinâs words baffled her, leaving her puzzled as to their meaning. But when she looked back, his bird mask hid all expression, and, of course, she could glean nothing.
âWoo woo woo!â
The train doors closed slowly, and as she stood by the door, she saw Erwin sitting on the bench, waving goodbye. She waved back, feeling a bit silly.
She couldnât understand his words, but he seemed like a kind person⌠just very strange, maybe?
Ilois made her way to her seat, her nose twitching slightly as if she caught a foul scent. She slowly reached for the spot where she had been bumped by the passerby, and when she looked at her hand, there was a small, smeared bloodstain.
Hm?
Ilois tilted her head, unsure when she got the stain. She assumed it was an accidental touch but didnât realize it was a mark left by the Death God, a sign given to those who have skirted death.
