After Maxing out all Classes

Chapter 20: Why dont you want to play with me?



Robb sat in a small cabin. Of course, this worn-out house had a scientific name, "Confession Room." He sat inside while the townsman sat outside, posing for a confession.

Confessions are a very sacred thing for followers of Light. The usual process is that believers would confess their sins to the priest and repent their sins. While the priest will comfort him, saying that his sins can be forgiven. Only then will the confessor's heart be liberated and face the rest of his life with a smile.

The townsman whispered across the cabin, "My father, I… I have sinned laziness. I have often been too lazy to work recently."

“What? Lazy?” Robb immediately followed up on his words and said, “My child, your behavior is understandable! Lazy for a while, lazy forever! Only laziness is the road for human beings to attain true happiness. As for diligence, it is useless. You’ll encounter difficulties, and you’ll only encounter difficulties forever. When you achieve everything through hard work, you’ll find that you actually feel empty inside, and that feeling of losing a goal is terrible. I tell you, you can be a man of anything, just don’t work too hard. If you work too hard, you’ll have done everything. If you lack anything to do after having done everything, you won’t be able to live as well as a dog. Be lazy! Be lazy as much as you want! When you start being lazy, you’ll realize that the world is full of flowers.”

Townspeople: "…"

Robb said: "Ah, I accidentally said too much. Continue confessing."

Townspeople: "Goodbye! Excuse me! "

"Hey, don't go; keep confessing, I haven't played enough!"

The townsman left unusually firmly because he felt that he had lost his mind for an instant and felt that he had become an idiot. He left quickly for fear that he’d abandon his life and future. The moment he walked out of the church, he silently made up his mind, I would work hard, I would struggle, and must not become the kind of lazy person said by "My Father."

"Ah? Wait!" The townsman suddenly understood: "My father was deliberately being sarcastic. He’s making it sound like he is saying that laziness has many benefits, but he didn’t say any real benefits. It's useless for the world to be full of flowers; he won’t get anything. He was trying to warn me that laziness is useless, and you’ll be left with nothing. Moreover, he wanted to say that you can get everything through diligence! You can lose your goals because you’re too rich. I also want to be so rich that I lose my goals. This truth was deliberately hidden in his words, but I almost missed it."

"Wise father, your child will always remember your teachings." The townsman bowed lowly at Robb and went away. He felt encouraged and full of energy.

Robb crouched on the ground in the corner of the cabin and drew a circle with his fingers: "Don't go! Come back and play confession with me."

"Master! The steak I tried making was a success." Lillian ran out happily with two plates. When she saw Robb squatting on the ground, drawing circles, she was startled, "Master, what's the matter? Do you have a stomachache?"

“No! I’m fine.” Robb quickly regained his dignity, got up, and patted off the dust on him. Then, he sat down and said, “Hey, Lillian, come, let me try the steak you made.”

Lillian happily placed a plate of steak in front of Robb, arranged his knife and fork, and wrapped a napkin around Robb’s neck. Her little hand gently pulled the corner of the napkin at the back of Robb's neck, which tickled Robb's heart.

"Well, let me see how good your steak is." Robb picked up his knife and fork and looked intently at it. The steak on the plate looked good and delicious.

At that moment, a young woman came to the front of the chapel. She looked very ordinary, far worse than Lillian, but in this small border town, she was somewhat pretty: "My father, I … I'm here to confess.”

"Oh? Come. " Robb was overjoyed. He hastened to pick up his plate, quickly ran into the cabin, and sat down. Ah, eating steak while listening to a confession. Today truly makes me as happy as a fairy.

The woman sat down outside the cabin!

Across the cabin, no one could see each other. She had no idea that the priest was cutting steak with a fork in his left hand and a knife in his right in the cabin.

The woman said carefully, "My father, I have committed a very serious crime. I… I cheated. No, I betrayed my husband and spent the night with a handsome young man."

“Pfft!”

As soon as Robert stuffed the steak into his mouth, he felt an indescribable taste of terror spreading everywhere in his mouth. My god, what is this feeling? This instant destroys all his tasting nerves and paralyzes all the taste buds in his mouth. Aah! Aah! Lillian! Are you trying to poison your Master?

Plop, he hurriedly spits it out!

The woman outside's heart tightened. Oh no, Father seemed to have thrown up as soon as I said I was having an affair. This …. Is this an expression of his anger?

The woman hurriedly said, "My father, I regret it now. I want to repent. Is there any way to make up for the sins I have committed?"

With a swoosh, a plate of steak was handed out from the cabin, and Robb said in a bitter tone, "Do me a favor and help me eat it. Don't let my little maid see it."

The woman took the plate with a bewildered face and saw that the dish made of such a good piece of beef that seemed to be very high quality. Isn’t this the thing that’s often eaten by nobles, called steak? What is “Father” trying to do by giving me this food? I don't understand what "Father" is doing at all; whatever, I’ll take a bite first.

She cut off a piece of the beef with her trembling hands and put it in her mouth.

"Boom!"

Here brain exploded!

The woman burst into tears in an instant, saying, "Goodbye! Excuse me."

Robb hurriedly said, "Hey, don't go. Eat and confess; I haven't had enough!"

The woman left, walking unusually firm; she was afraid that she would be poisoned if she stayed there. It was not until she walked out of the chapel and stood in the streets that she suddenly realized, "My father, I understand now! Like this piece of beef, my affair looks beautiful and noble, but it is poison. It will destroy me and kill me. You deliberately spit out a few mouthfuls. It was to teach me to spit it out quickly and to not be confused by it just because it looks beautiful! In other words, I shouldn’t indulge in the temptation of infidelity. I need to correct my sins, not to go deeper and deeper. I understand everything you’re trying to say."

The woman stood up and bowed deeply in the direction of the chapel, "My father, I will remember your teachings and be a good wife and mother, and will never do anything wrong for my conscience again."

Robb rolled all over the church floor, “AHH, why? There is no one who wants to play confession with me! I'm the only one who hasn't had enough of this. Why don’t you want to play with me?
