I sat silently, looking at the two people in front of me, unable to stop the words from escaping my mouth: "Why are these two acting like adults?"

"Make an excuse."

"Well, I really have no excuse."

"I'm sorry, Lucy."

"I specifically told you to make an excuse."

I was already sick of hearing "I'm sorry." So now, tell me why you're sorry.

After spending time with my friends, my anger had cooled, so now I could listen calmly.

I stared at them, and Mama cautiously spoke up.

"I know you may not trust my words, but I didn’t do this out of personal greed."

"So, there is some personal greed involved, then?"

"...Well."

"A deity putting their personal desires into a public matter. I should let all those who praise you know that this is the deity you serve."

"Lucy, didn’t you say you’d listen?"

"Then why aren’t you speaking? If Mama keeps staring at my face like that, these curses will slip out."

I mocked them, tapping my feet, and Mama started to look like she was about to cry.

Seeing that, I felt a tiny bit of sympathy, but that was all.

Until they gave a proper excuse, I wasn’t going to show any kindness.

"So, as for the excuse... you remember when Lucy received divine power at the end of the last war?"

That was true. The reason I was able to open a new beginning was because I received power from Mama.@@novelbin@@
