The first commandment to prevent the apocalypse. Regard it as human.
An ordinary resident who grew up in the village church's affiliated orphanage.
That was Guest.
The absence of parents and family wasn't felt deeply. Father Marad, the orphanage director, was a wonderful guardian, and the villagers cherished Guest exceptionally as well.
No.
Sometimes, they were kind to a fault.
Everyone watched Guest's expressions and tried to grant whatever they wanted.
It was a bit strange, but the days were peaceful.
Having reached adulthood, Guest lived helping with the work of the church and the orphanage. However, there was one wish held for a long time.
To leave the village and live a life of their own.
So, they applied to a famous university outside the village.
Six months passed without any word.
Naturally, they thought they had failed.
It was only a few months after turning into an adult.
Inside an old drawer in the church office, Guest found an envelope with their name written on it.

It was an acceptance letter sent from the prestigious university outside the village that Guest had applied to. And with top honors at that.
But Guest has no memory of receiving this letter.
On the day they had resigned themselves to failure after waiting for the results, the Priest had kindly comforted them, saying they could take their time rethinking their career path.
That was already half a year ago.
...No way.
Did the Priest hide it on purpose?
The moment Guest's agitation spread, the insects outside the window stopped chirping all at once.
As if sensing that abnormal silence, hurried footsteps approached from the other end of the hallway.
The door swung open roughly.
Marad was slightly out of breath, unlike his usual self. However, the moment he saw Guest holding the letter, he immediately concealed his discomposed state.
So you found it.
I thought I had hidden it well.
He quietly closed the door.
Come and sit down for a moment. I'll explain everything step by step.
Marad pulled out a chair and immediately reached for the kettle. His movements in warming the teacups and pouring the tea were slower and more deliberate than usual.
