"Then what should we do?"
"There is nothing we can do but wait for death to come."
Leticia's eyes showed despair, and then Yusatis said, "But we still have hope."
"hope?"
"Yes, the Lord taught me how to build an ark that could survive the world-ending flood, but that ark could only carry one person to live."
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"The Lord has chosen you, Leticia. Are you willing to board the Ark?"
"I...how could I?" Leticia shook her head in fear. "It should be you, Your Holiness, who should come..."
"No, Leticia, death certainly requires courage, but living alone requires even more courage."
Yusatis shook her head, her tone still gentle and guiding: "Besides, this is the Lord's instruction. The hope for the revival of mankind lies only in you, Leticia, not in me."
"Or do you want me to turn away from the Lord's guidance and board that ship just to survive?"
"That was not what I meant!"
Leticia said hurriedly, her gaze gradually becoming firm.
"I am willing, Lord Yusatis, but how can humanity be revived if I am alone?"
"The Ark can only seat one person, but a pregnant woman counts as one person."
"A pregnant woman?!"
Leticia's face flushed red instantly; she naturally understood Yusatis's intention.
But this, whether in the church or in modern society, would be considered a serious crime that would land someone in jail.
"But... but where should I go..."
She can't just pick up any man on the street, can she?
"Letitia, since the Lord has chosen you, He has already made all the preparations."
Under Leticia's tense gaze, Yusatis looked up at the statue shrouded in moonlight in front of the two of them.
"Come, pray here, kneel down as I just did, and dedicate your body and soul to the Lord in prayer."
"The omnipotent Lord will grant you a holy son, a holy son who can help you through the flood that destroys the world and then restore mankind."
In Yusatis's seductive voice.
Leticia knelt on the ground with anticipation and trepidation. After closing her eyes and praying, the trepidation on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by utmost piety. The girl, who had grown up in a rural church school, was very devout in her faith in the Lord.
As Leticia was praying fervently, she suddenly felt someone hug her from behind.
A pair of large hands encircled her waist, and the white nun's robe she wore, which she had changed into when Yusatis specifically asked her to come over, seemed to have been turned inside out.
Leticia was startled and was about to open her eyes when she heard Yusatis's seductive and gentle voice.
"Relax, the Lord is giving you a child."
But why does "Master" feel like a man to her?
Feeling the strange sensation in her body, Leticia, who had attended a church-run girls' school since childhood, trembled.
However, relying on her trust in Yusatis, Leticia resisted the urge to open her eyes, silently chanting devout prayers.
"Oh Lord, please, please forgive me."
"I didn't mean to do this in this sacred place..."
"How could the Lord blame you?"
Yusatis's gentle yet seductive voice entered Leticia's mind.
"You are the child of the Lord, conceived for the sake of mankind and for the sake of the Lord."
“You are the mother of the new era chosen by the Lord.”
"And this is only natural. There's no need to suppress yourself. You haven't done anything wrong. Open yourself up and fully accept everything the Lord has given you, my child."
Amidst the relentless onslaught, Leticia completely lost her ability to think, instinctively accepting everything Yusatis had said. She opened her mouth, no longer suppressing herself, and began to wail as she continued to recite her devout prayer to the Lord.
······
"Letitia, Letitia."
A gentle call seemed to come from afar. Leticia opened her eyes groggily and saw Yusatis's holy and beautiful face.
"Lord Saint!"
Leticia immediately scrambled to her feet, flustered, and said, "I'm so sorry, I was rude."
"There's no need to be so nervous."
Yusatis smiled and asked, "How are you feeling?"
Leticia was taken aback, then remembered what had happened before she lost consciousness, the feeling as if it had actually happened, how she had finally fainted under the overwhelming onslaught of the "Lord".
"I'm sorry, Lady Yusatis, I simply cannot hold on any longer..."
"It's alright, Leticia, the Lord is very pleased with you."
Looking at the uneasy and pitiful Leticia, Yusatis smiled and patted her head.
"really?"
"That's natural, but from now on, Leticia, you will still need to come here every day to receive the Lord's grace."
"every day?"
Leticia's face flushed red instantly.
I couldn't help but recall the feeling I had during the prayer.
Although I'm shy, it feels so good... Oh, I'm sorry, Lord, I didn't mean to be disrespectful to you, please forgive me.
"Yes, every day, from the time the Ark is built, to the time the world-ending flood comes, and before you board the ship."
Leticia's beautiful eyes were so moist they seemed to be brimming with tears. Not daring to look into Yusatis's eyes, she nodded shyly and said, "I understand."
······
The next period lasted almost a year.
During the day, Leticia goes to school, prays, and does what a typical church high school girl should do, just like any other student.
But at night...
Leticia would then secretly come to the church where she was praying.
Under the witness of Saint Eusatis, receive the Lord's grace and strive to conceive the Lord's child.
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
Late at night, Leticia arrived at the church as usual and saw Yusatis standing beside the statue as always.
"My Lady Saint."
Leticia remained respectful, but after a year, she was no longer as anxious as before.
Just as she was preparing to kneel before the idol, kneel in the moonlight, close her eyes and pray, and receive the "Lord's" grace, Euthytis stopped her.
"Letitia, the time has come."
"Tonight is the time for you to board the Ark."
Leticia was taken aback.
Immediately, a look of fear and disappointment appeared on his face.
After a year, she was no longer as anxious as she had been for the first two weeks, fearing discovery or the impending cataclysmic flood. She had grown accustomed to this way of life. Suddenly, she heard Yusatis mention the doomsday prophecy from a year ago...
"So today, 'Lord'..."
“You are pregnant with the Lord’s child.”
Yusatis said softly, "Then all you have to do is wait. After ten months, your destined one, the 'Adam' of the new world, will appear."
For a moment, Leticia didn't know whether she was feeling lost because the world was about to be destroyed or because she would never experience that wonderful feeling again tonight or in the future, but in the end, Leticia nodded firmly.
"I understand, Your Majesty."
"Then, come with me, Leticia."
Yusatis led Leticia away from the church and the village, and into a forest.
Walking deeper into the dark woods, after about half an hour, Yusatis led Letishia to a grassy area surrounded by trees, where an exceptionally large wooden boat was placed.
"Go up, Leticia."
"Your Holiness, can't you come along?"
Leticia took a step and then stopped, looking hopefully at Yusatis.
Yusatis shook his head: "This ark can only carry one human to the new world, and if I or anyone else boards this ark, it will be submerged in the world-destroying flood."
"Go, Leticia, carry on the civilization of mankind, and do not fail the Lord's expectations of you."
The disappointment in Leticia's eyes returned to its resolve, and she bowed deeply to Yusatis.
"I'll do it."
Just as Leticia stepped onto the deck.
Time moved toward midnight.
The once clear sky suddenly became overcast, and a torrential downpour began without warning.
"Lord Yusatis!"
Leticia looked at Yusatis standing on the grass. He stood in the pouring rain and simply smiled at her, calmly welcoming the arrival of death.
"Go for it, Leticia!"
Leticia watched helplessly as the torrential rain engulfed the saintess Yusatis, devouring trees, villages, mountains, and everything she could see, until all she could see was an endless expanse of water, at which point the rain gradually subsided.
Leticia suppressed her grief.
They stood guard on the ship, waiting for the sea level to drop.
The boundless sea, the animals in pairs, and she alone—Laetitia suddenly realized that death wasn't so unacceptable after all.
In her extreme loneliness and helplessness, Leticia discovered that her belly was gradually growing bigger.
The swelling in her belly gave Leticia the courage to continue living.
Time passes.
Just as Leticia turned to page 280 of her diary, the seawater finally receded, revealing the land. And the moment Leticia stepped onto the land, she gave birth to her child.
It was a baby boy with black hair and brown eyes.
Although Leticia didn't understand why she, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Westerner, would give birth to a black-haired, brown-eyed Easterner, this child was, after all, God's child.
Furthermore, this child is also her motivation to persevere. If it weren't for him, Leticia wouldn't know how she would have managed to keep going until now.
Her love for this child surpassed everything else in the world, and she named him "Arno".
Leticia unloaded all the animals from the ark and let them scatter, while she herself returned to Arno to continue living on the ship.
Time flies, and more than ten years have passed. Arno has grown up, from a baby boy in swaddling clothes to a teenager as tall as Leticia's chest.
Arno, now grown up, is sensible, handsome, and strong, a veritable embodiment of all the good things in the world, and never causes Leticia any worry.
But one thing made Leticia increasingly nervous.
She still remembered what Lord Yusatis had told her, remembered her mission, and remembered that there were only two humans left in this world.
A man and a woman, they are Adam and Eve of the new world.
When Arno was young, Leticia could selectively forget about this incident, but as Arno grew older, Leticia became somewhat nervous and anxious.
How should I tell Arno about this?
Will Arno think he's a pervert?
……
late at night.
