jedidiah.
After hearing about this name, Fujimaru Ritsuka carefully looked up information. In the past, people named their children with their own meanings, not to mention King Solomon. Maybe he could find something from this name? In this way, Fujimaru Ritsuka found the answer.
The Bible records that when Solomon, the second son of King David of Israel, was born, the prophet named him "Jedidiah", which means "the one favored by God".
He was just born, and he was given such a name? After learning the meaning of these four words, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but sigh. Solomon was given the name Jedidiah when he was born, as if Solomon was the child that God had been waiting for to be born before he was born.
Indeed, he received all the favors in life.
He had the Ten Commandments given from heaven. He was cared for by the gods before he was born. On the day Solomon was born, David, Solomon's father, sighed, and David knew at that time that Jedidiah was born to be a king.
Solomon is all-wise and all-powerful, and is the origin of magic, and the root of magicians' exploration. So when the current disaster comes, people will be even more desperate when they realize that Solomon is the villain behind the scenes.
Therefore, not everyone can use the name Jedidiah.
"So after becoming a human, do you know what you want?"
"Jedidiah."
The moment he saw the white-haired woman's hand on the doctor's head, Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned. Both the doctor's reaction and the white-haired woman's action almost instantly brought a great shock to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
What's happening?
Why would the "Jedidiah" in the other world who never became what he is call Dr. Roman Jedidiah?
After such a long time, Fujimaru Ritsuka also has a certain understanding of Roman.
He usually smiles at everyone, unlike the sun in the sky, but rather like the sun, which is just right, not dazzling, but brings light to the people around him. He will talk about a beautiful future worth looking forward to, and treat himself as a joke with a smile, which livens up the atmosphere. He has his own preferences, whether it is strawberry cake or magic Merry.
Doctors are very timid. In fact, Fujimaru Ritsuka is very sensitive to people and can clearly feel a person's psychological state. Dr. Roman is actually a realist and pessimist. He likes everyone and has the ability to build good relationships with everyone, but when he encounters any difficulties, he has a bad habit of staying where he is or retreating and hiding.
This was different from the Jedidiah who was standing before him at this time.
[Jedidiah] was chosen by God and lost all his humanity after he was born. When I met you now, I didn't feel any emotion in every word he said to me. It was this kind of person who said the four words "Jedidiah" in front of the doctor.
Dr. Roman's reaction was what puzzled Fujimaru Ritsuka the most.
Could it be that [Jedidiah] is not the real Jedidiah, then why did King Gilgamesh and Merlin say that before? The doctor showed such an expression in front of [Jedidiah] again, and also said such words——
"Doctor?" Fujimaru Ritsuka asked, his expression still a little confused, "And [Yedidiah], what are you doing..."
Roman's attention was diverted by Fujimaru Ritsuka's call.
"Ritsuka, Ritsuka!?" The doctor sitting on the floor widened his eyes, looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka's face in disbelief, and finally spoke with a stuttering voice, "You, when did you come?"
Mashu was also frightened by the situation just now. She answered subconsciously: "Just... just when Mr. [Yedidiah] just said 'Yedidiah' to the doctor..."
"Woo woo woo ..."
The orange-haired young man lowered his head, his face completely buried in his arms. If you look closely, you can see that the tips of his ears that were exposed are red, and his fingers are shaking. He looks like he has been bullied, and he is not like himself at all.
He was like an ostrich now, with his head buried in the ground.
"Doctor, what did you mean by that just now? Why did [Yedidiah] call you..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes moved back and forth, and when he glanced at the white-haired woman, she did not respond. Instead, the doctor made a mosquito-like sound.
"...Jedidiah." The doctor said these four words slowly and softly.
An incredible thought suddenly occurred to Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind: "Doctor, are you..."
Now the room is quiet.
The clock beside the bed ticked along with every breath of the orange-haired young man. The last words that came out of his mouth sounded like an admission of giving up the struggle.
"It's me..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka/Mashu: !!!
The news was like a bombshell.
It was like hearing the destruction of human reason, as if Mars had really hit the earth at that moment. The news that the doctor was Solomon was like a bomb that suddenly exploded in a place no one had expected.
No wonder he feels so unnatural every time he talks about Doctor Solomon. He knows more about Solomon than others do, so he will refute and his emotions are more intense than ordinary people. No wonder King Gilgamesh and Merlin showed meaningful expressions when they saw the doctor. The meaningful pause was a question that Fujimaru Ritsuka had never thought about.
It turns out that the doctor is Solomon, no wonder Jedidiah came to him.
etc……
Since the doctor is Solomon, Jedidiah just called the doctor Jedidiah, and the tone of his voice was completely different from the previous one.
So is [Jedidiah] really Jedidiah?
The white-haired woman inserted her fingers into the orange-haired youth's hair, and finally slid them down gently. She seemed to have known about the arrival of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, and she ignored them and focused all her attention on Roman.
"Romani Achman," she said. "Romantic, that's what it is."
Roman replied: “That’s right.”
At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt something was wrong. Even though they were both Yedidiah, no, the doctor should say Solomon, the conversation between the two was more like a relationship between a superior and a subordinate.
Roman only felt a numbness and he felt that his whole body had no strength, but his heart was beating very fast, as if it would jump out of his chest in the next second.
"Then, Jedidiah, answer my last question." The white-haired woman lowered her head and looked at the orange-haired young man, asking him to raise his head and look into her eyes. "Do you know what you want?"
“I still… I still don’t really understand…” Roman was so nervous that his speech was a little disorganized, and he even had a lisp that made it difficult for him to speak clearly. “But now I feel that I am living a very happy life. This is the first time I have experienced such emotions, and it is also the first time I have integrated into this human society…”
Then he continued to speak with a sobbing voice and stammering: "My God, I have never thought of disobeying you or abandoning you. I have always believed in you and am grateful for your love for me--"
Roman has always believed in God.
It may be different from before, when I treasured the things God gave me, never had my own emotions, and never followed God's instructions without emotion. But now that I have emotions, it is different. It is a kind of unwarranted belief and the final loyalty.
The white-haired woman said slowly, "I understand."
After hearing these four words, the doctor slowly raised his head to look at the face of the white-haired woman. The latter's face was almost the same as when he was young, but the difference was that there were some different emotions than his own.
"My God...?"
The expression on Fujimaru Ritsuka's face became even weirder. Perhaps because he heard some strange name, his brain hadn't completely changed. He was still thinking that the doctor was actually Solomon.
This is especially true for Mashu.
What does it mean for Solomon to call someone "my god"?
Fujimaru Ritsuka still remembers the information he looked up.
The person favored by God, the one being favored is standing there feeling wronged, so the one who gives favor, couldn't it be this guy with white hair and black skin who calls himself "Yedidiah"? !
How come this person is not Jedidiah and suddenly became Solomon's god?
While Fujimaru Ritsuka was confused, Roman carefully glanced at the white-haired woman, and seeing that she didn't move, he slowly asked, "Are you still angry?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka: Huh? Are you angry?
I can't tell at all.
Of course Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't see it. The emotional fluctuations of the gods were actually very small, and only Roman, who had been with the gods the longest, could detect it.
"I am not angry with you for making a wish to the Holy Grail."
Roman was stunned, because he couldn't think of any other reason for the gods to be angry.
The white-haired woman spoke calmly, "Let me ask you, what would you have done if I hadn't come this time? After becoming a human, you have such emotions... Isn't that disobeying me?"
Roman was stunned.
He could almost imagine his final outcome.
Even he planned so.
Gaetia was an achievement and a deed in Solomon's life. Roman knew clearly that as long as he erased Solomon's traces, Gaetia, as a demon, would naturally leave.
Finally - human nature is corrected.
The child who was loved and blessed by the gods, after becoming a human being with his own emotions, was out of the protection of the gods. He would choose to return everything to the heavens and erase all traces of King Solomon's existence.
"You gave up my favor and walked out of my protection. In the end, you will die like that."
Roman shuddered.
