Chapter 732: Gods Growth ⑦ (1/2)

There was a tea party that was often held in the Sanctuary. There, Kuromueina was eating a baby castella while listening to Shallow Vernal.

[……That's what happened. I just told them what you had told me back then.]

[That doesn't sound so bad. I think that having them think and realize matters on their own will lead to growth rather than just having things taught to them. However, you have to keep an open eye at them, making sure that they don't just keep on failing.]

[What do you mean?]

[Trying to understand something that you don't is quite a challenge. Fate-chan had already failed once. Suppressing the fear of failing again, she's trying for the second time thinking a lot of things and feeling impatient. This is an important turning point. If she fails here without any success, her thoughts will turn in a negative direction. If that happens, she might get stuck in a vicious cycle.]

[……Fumu.]

Hearing the words spoken by Kuromueina, someone who had raised and guided many, Shallow Vernal brought her hand on her chin and started pondering.

Shallow Vernal, who is in the midst of various growth, had recently been trying to encourage the growth of the Gods. And thus, she had been consulting Kuromueina, who had a lot of experience at guiding others, at their tea parties.

[It doesn't necessarily mean that she has to succeed in her second try, but Fate-chan would want to have her efforts to bear some fruit. I'm sure she's still feeling confused and impatient at the moment…… and if she makes too many mistakes, she'll end up hating herself even more. Whether or not you can feel that she's made even a small step forward will have a big impact on her future.]

[I see…… What do you think I should do?]

[Hmmm. It would be best if nothing goes wrong, but other than that, it might be a good idea to give her a little catalyst. If it's possible, it would be even better if Fate-chan could feel that she arrived at the answer herself without being noticed?]

[That's very helpful. Thank you.]

After thanking Kuromueina, Shallow Vernal lightly moved her fingers.

[……Oh? ”Future Interference”…… Heehhh…… That's a good idea. It's not too big of a help, but it could still be a catalyst for change…… That's 99 points for you. This might hopefully settle this matter, and Fate-chan might be able to grow a lot.]

[So you're saying that it still won't garner a perfect score?]

[There's no such thing as a perfect score when it comes to guiding people. No, there shouldn't be such a thing. That's also the reason why one can think of different ways to guide others.]

[I see, I guess I still am no match to Kuro in this field.]

After saying this, Shallow Vernal brought her tea to her mouth, set the cup down, and then, turned her attention to the scenery of the Sanctuary.

Caught along with Shallow Vernal's action, Kuromueina also turned her gaze to the scenery before she quietly muttered.

[……Speaking of which, you did say that you have something you want to consult with me, were you talking about that conversation earlier?]

[That conversation just now is also a consultation, but the main topic that I want to consult with you is something else. I've just been thinking about something, and I'd like to hear your opinion about it.]
