Soon after, the children, who discovered that the priest was missing, rushed over in a panic.

Together, they sent the unconscious priest back to the orphanage.

The next day, Bronya and Ciel are woken up by a knock on the door from Teresa.

When they came to Joachim's room, they found it empty.

Joachim went away without saying goodbye to anyone.

"He's gone after all...... "There's a door for Delissa, "Bronia, Ciel, the priest has something to say to us." "

Bronya and Ciel looked at each other for a moment, and followed Teresa to the deepest room in the orphanage.

The blonde man lay on the bed, trying to turn his body towards them. Scarlet marks spread across him, as if they were about to tear him apart.

"Teresa, my cross seems to have fallen in the snow. "

"Father, you have a good rest, and I'll help you get it back. Teresa panicked, "Next week, no, tomorrow, I'll take you to the hospital in town." You're going to be fine......

".

"It's okay, no need. Joachim...... Gone?".

The silence of the children answered the priest's question.

"Really?" the priest closed his eyes, "I understand his feelings, he has become an orphan...... It's me. "

"That's not the priest's fault!" said Teresa.

"Right and wrong cannot answer all the questions in this world. "

"I always ask myself, was there another way to save his father at that time?"

"But no matter what I thought, that day, I still chose to kill him. "

"Maybe it's because of him that I see my old self...... That self that I thought about ending. "

"Priest ......".

Teresa seemed to know what the priest was going to say, what she wanted to say, but swallowed it back again.

"I have also been exposed to taboos, touched by the power of sin, and ...... No, it killed many innocent people. "

"But the Holy Maiden stopped me and rescued me from the abyss. "

"I fled the organization with her, sealing the source of evil in an unknown place. "

"But we were both cursed, and she died two years later. "

"As the man was dying, I asked her if she regretted making that choice. "

"And now, I will convey her answer to you. "

The priest's gaze swept over the children who were sobbing softly.

"A person experiences three times of growth in his life. "

"The first time was to understand what was right and wrong. "

"The second time is to understand that there are things that are more than right and wrong. "

"The third time is to understand that there is no right or wrong in some things, but still firmly do what you believe in and take responsibility for it. "

The priest's eyes sparkled. His tone was calm, but there was a hint of trembling.

Perhaps, he remembered something, something that time could not erase.

"I buried her in a foreign country and came here to set up an orphanage. "

I understand Joachim's confusion, or rather, I used to be so confused. "

"So, I respect his choice. "

"Kids, I can't go back. I made too many mistakes and all I could do was take responsibility for my past. "

"But...... I'm glad to have you. Thank you for allowing me to look back on the past and find that I still have happy and warm memories. "

"Priest...... You're going to be fine......" Teresa said with a choked voice.

"Joachim, do you hear that?" said Bronya, coldly.

Gala –

Joachim plucked up the courage to walk in: "Father, you lost this cross last night, so I got it back." "

"You said you were going to give it to me. "

He clutched the cross tightly, like a child guarding his most important treasure.

"I'm still very confused and I don't know what to do in the future. "

"It's just that there's something I want to say anyway-".

"I do...... I am willing to take this step and inherit this orphanage and inherit your duties!".

"So, please keep up being my family and don't let me go down the wrong path!".

Joachim threw himself on the edge of the bed, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

Theresa didn't say anything, just hugged him gently.

"I believe in you, Joachim, and I believe you will find your way. "

The priest clenched the pendant in his hand. The light in his eyes seemed to become brighter.

"I've fought the good fight...... I have exhausted the way I should go...... Believe in the word, and I have kept ......."

A tear fell on the wooden floor, then turned into white light, engulfing the entire world.

......

After the video ended, everyone was a little depressed in their hearts.

"What a good man this priest is......" Tesla muttered, "why didn't we die here?"

If Otto dies in the video, Tesla is afraid that all the mecha of the reverse entropy will be pulled to the funeral and set off fireworks.

If the situation allowed, she didn't mind snatching the microphone from the host's hand and pouring out all the anger accumulated over the years in front of Otto's coffin.

Dr. Lobster had already written an unsightly eulogy for Otto in his heart.

I also asked Einstein, the master of yin and yang, to moisten the pen.

However, even though the priest had a face identical to Otto's, Tesla was not angry with him at all.

"Alas, this damned world! Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years. "

Tesla complained.

"How wonderful it would be if Otto in our world were like a priest!"

She couldn't help but fall into a fantasy, as if ...... Joyce was still stealing her truffle-smeared toast bread.

Nancy, who has a bad taste, has another prank plan ready against her.

Reanna was busy visiting her old friends at the Imperial Institute......

Einstein saw the sparkle in the eyes of his old friend, and the tears gleamed like jewels, hiding her best dreams.

"Dr. Tesla......

".

Einstein clenched his fists, there will be a day, there will be...... If the Pages of Susheng weren't fake, everyone would have come back.

Teresa looked at the priest in the video and sighed silently in her heart.

Grandpa, the image of you in my mind is exactly ...... this priest

But why do you want to destroy these beautiful things with your own hands?

"Aunt Himeko, I'm so sad all of a sudden......" Kiana sniffled, "Father Priest is such a good person, why is his fate like this?".

"Fool, the priest has passed on his life to Joachim. "

Himeko gently touched the insect's head.

"There are too many regrets in his life, but there are also precious and warm memories. He has done the way he ought to go, and he has kept the way he has kept, and that is the best ending for him. "

"I don't think so!".

Himeko poked Kiana's puffing cheek.

"You're not old enough to understand. A man dies not when he deserves to die, but when he can. "

"Aunt Himeko is so awkward! I don't understand, but I think there is still too much to look forward to in this world. "

Kiana pouted.

"Such a good person died like this, I feel sorry for him!".

"Kiana, the death of a good person will make us reluctant. Mei said, "But that's how we understand our meaning and responsibility as Valkyries." "
