A soft, warm light poured over Alice, wrapping around her like a gentle veil.
She closed her eyes, her expression softening as if she were being embraced by something divine.
Emilia lowered her hands slowly, the faint glow around her fingertips fading into nothingness. She took a cautious step back.
"It's done now, Senior Alice."
Alice opened her eyes again, blinking as if the world looked slightly different.
Tiny motes of light still lingered in the air around her, dancing like faint fireflies before dissolving into the stillness of the cathedral.
She straightened, her lips curling into a look of quiet wonder.
"So, you really are a clergy of the church, hehe~ I guess you weren't just a cute junior, but a blessed one as well." She touched her chest lightly as if feeling the warmth from within. "Somehow, I feel lighter… warmer… more at peace. Thank you, junior."
"Hehe~ you're welcome, Senior. You can come to me anytime if you want a blessing."
