Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence (白聖女と黒牧師)

Remember Lawrence Saints protect the people, and in return,

it's our responsibility to protect those who look after us.

Do you understand what I'm saying? Should a day come?

You ever meet a saint? You must

never forget what I've told you.

But I doubt it will slip your mind.

You're a bit different from the others.

Pastor Lawrence. Ha ha! Ha ha ha!

Oh, well. Hello there. I'm sorry to bother you when you're busy,

but there's something my boy says.

He must urgently talk to the Lady Saint about.

Based off that expression, it must be important.

It's quite all right. She doesn't have any appointments right now.

She's just inside the church. Lady saint? Yes.

Hmm. Has someone come seeking my advice?

And that's it. Help me and my friend

left things after our big fight.

It'll be hard seeing them again tomorrow.

Lady Saint, what do you think I should do?

Tell me, what would make it less

painful when you see them next? Well, um. If we went back to

how we used to be friends. Wait. Do you think you could use

your powers and make time go backwards or something?

I'm afraid not. Oh, all I can do is guide

someone as they continue on their individual journey.

But if they lack courage, they won't

be able to walk on their own.

I could keep going on. But you know what you must do?

Don't worry. Trust me, this is the

right path. Was it rude to.

Ask her for advice? I'm sure there are worse problems.

No, not at all. She always listens.

No matter if the worries are big or small.

She accepts people's insecurities and lends a helping hand.

But then again, that is the duty of a saint.

Excellent work, Lady Saint. But I'm wondering.

Don't you think there's a great disparity

between your previous demeanor and the one you're currently displaying?

I don't see why that matters. After all,

you're the only one here now.

Lauren. But your problem is you worry too much.

If anyone comes, I'll sit up straight. Promise? Yes.

Well, that isn't really the issue.

I have something to give to them. Just one moment.

Would you look at you? What a visit! For some reason,

the Lady Saint acts lazy, but only in front of me.

Please, I have to ask once again.

Why do you keep behaving this way? Because there's nobody around anymore.

And as I mentioned, that shouldn't be any reason to reason.

Beautiful day, isn't it, children? Sure is.

How come she only acts lazy when we were alone together?

Hi, my dee dee dee dee.

Uh huh.

This is a church. I think you've

taken relaxing a little too far as of late.

As of late, yes. As soon as we're alone,

it's as if you become someone completely different. Um.

Well, that's because, actually, funny you bring

that up when you're the one who doesn't let me do anything.

You won't let me help with the gardening.

For good reason, since you might fall and hurt yourself.

And you won't let me cook either.

Because there's a strong chance you might burn yourself.

Uh, right, then I'm going to go on my rounds

and visit the homes around the village. I'll return soon.

I'll go. Too. Huh? There's going to be a lot

of walking involved. I can. Do it.

If you want to, but if anybody

approaches you and asks to be shown a miracle,

try and artfully dodge the topic.

It's not like the mysterious powers you

possess can be seen with human eyes, after all.

I will. You have my word. Are

you certain you're going to be all right?

It's rude to ask the same question.

If you don't believe me, I could show you right here.

Yes, I'd appreciate that. Behold, an ordinary deck of cards.

You're staying here. What? No, I'll be fine.

I promise you, I won't do anything

too weird. Well, if you promise.

All right. I'll go prepare things. Perfect.

Wow. I'm really going out with Lauren.

I'm so happy before I leave. Come.

Angels of the church gather now.

So first off, I know you've been

following Lauren around again, haven't you?

Look, I completely understand you feel comfortable in his presence,

but can't you please exercise just a little restraint?

The truth is, I'm jealous, so please stop doing it.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Huh?

Is there something wrong? Of course not. Why would you.

Even think that? Come on. We should

really be on our way. Don't run.

Ahead. You might trip and fall.

Well, you're in a cheerful mood today.

Yes, indeedy. Oh, pastor lady Saint, how are you two?

We're doing well. There we go again.

How come she doesn't act that way in front of me?

Then if you have no objections, we'll

arrange for the same time next week.

Told ya, it's. The ladies day. Could you show us some miracles?

I know that I'm being terribly rude,

but do you mind excusing me a moment?

You told me not to perform any miracles,

so I chose to exercise my right to remain silent.

You looked totally overwhelmed by all those children.

Well, I mean, let's see. You and I have

to come up with some way to grant their request. Huh?

Did you guess that did the trick?

Before we continue on, I'd like to step

in here for a little while.

Are you planning on buying something? Oh, no.

I thought I'd stop by and say hello to the shop owner.

Would a slight detour be okay with you?

Of course. No problem whatsoever. Oh, dear.

I hope I didn't frighten you too much.

How are you, pastor? It's been far too long.

She runs a clothing shop. Stop by more often.

Feel free to take a look around if you like. Lady Saint.

Since then, I may as well indulge myself.

She really is an expert at switching

back and forth. How is she.

Sells all kinds of different clothing here. It's wonderful to hear.

It's absolutely gorgeous. She showed her true

self in front of someone else.

It really is something else. Every girl

that steps foot in the shop instantly falls in love with it.

When it comes to wedding dresses, you

don't see all that many in these parts.

A wedding dress, right? There's a lack of ceremonies.

Considering how your church doesn't handle those, the.

Opportunity rarely arises. My good friend's daughter,

who lives far away, is getting married soon.

Her mother asked me if I would be willing

to make a dress for the occasion.

I finished it a little sooner than I'd planned,

so I'm displaying it here for a while. Lovely.

Whoever has the chance to wear something like this.

She must be a very happy person.

Ah, she is so stinking cute. I really wanted a daughter.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Forgive me for asking, but you don't have any.

God saw fit to bless me with sons.

Which is why whenever I see a cute girl like you,

I have to dote on her. No, I'm not. At least not yet.

What are you talking about? You do realize

everyone in the village thinks so, right? I.

I really did want a daughter again.

Why do you keep looking at me?

Well, better get back to work. Before you go,

I want you to take these with you for me.

You made the trip, so take a piece of clothing with you.

I couldn't just. The thought is enough.

Please don't be silly. As if you're

not always going out of your way to help everyone else.

Accept things from us every now and again.

Teardrop. Oh, my. I didn't expect you

to be moved so much by clothing.

But just forget about those scraps.

When the time comes, you. Can count on me.

Wait till you see your wedding dress.

What? Time to go, Lauren. But don't

go dashing out of the store like that. If you'll excuse. Us.

Hey, where are you going in such a hurry?

Are you not feeling well, Lady Saint? No.

I'm fine. No complaints for me. Huh? Huh? Huh?

Huh? Who paid us a visit a kitty cat.

Every time I approach an animal, they run

as fast as they can in the opposite direction.

Just once in my life, I wish one would let me pet them.

Lauren. Lauren I hope one of these days your wish is granted.
