……

Although it was just a "thank you gift", was already beyond excited.

She raised her head and glanced at Dark's face before hurriedly lowering it again, quickly reaching out to grab the box of chocolate and holding it tightly.

Dark heaved a little sigh in his heart, then withdrew his hand and went back.

"I hope Eudora can focus more on her studies after seeing the card. Especially the study of , which is very important for herself."

……

The few remaining people in the classroom witnessed the whole process of Dark's actions, but they couldn't pick out anything "scumbag-y" from his behavior.

There was only one lone chubby boy who muttered with horror on his face, "How scary. Is this the legendary ?"

Then he was elbowed by his deskmate, letting out a short cry.

……

After Dark returned to his seat, he extended an invitation to Dianna and Rose, "Let's have lunch together?"

The two little girls resisted the urge to open their box of chocolate on the spot and immediately stuffed it into their schoolbag.

As if she had suddenly come back to life again, Dianna merrily said, "Go go go, my stomach's already all flat."

Rose followed up, "I heard there's chestnut cake today. If we don't hurry, it'll be gone soon..."

The three of them thus walked to the cafeteria just as usual.

Walking through the corridors of the ancient castle always gave the feeling that time was passing by from both ends.

As though a moment was all it took to become a memory.

……

It wasn't until lunch was over that Dark said goodbye to the two of them and made his way to 's office.

"Come in."

After Dark knocked on the door and went inside, he saw Professor Lily lying on the table, miserably correcting the students' homework.

He quickly put the box of chocolate on the table and notified her, "Professor Lily, I'll put the stuff here."

"Okay, mhm...?"

When Professor Lily jerked up her head and saw that Dark had already walked halfway out of the office, she hurriedly called out, "Dark, don't leave!"

Slam!

Dark closed the door without the slightest hesitation and silently wiped off his sweat.

"Thank god I reacted quickly, otherwise I'd be stuck here this afternoon!"

He adjusted his schoolbag and proceeded to walk to the library.

Since it was clear that Professor Lily didn't remember anything about , he was only happy to pass it off smoothly.

……

Arriving at the library, Dark found that was not behind the counter, so he quickly registered his class and name and walked into the library.

The last box of chocolate could be given to her when she came to work.

Dark hadn't forgotten his other purpose for coming to the library.

He searched for the area labeled [Festival] on the floor plan of the library and swiftly made his way there.

After spending a cup of coffee's time, he finally found books containing matters related to [Easter].

The bookshelf in that area was filled with densely packed relevant books. Among them were books about , , and there were also ones about ... In short, almost everything one could think of was there.

After choosing for a moment, Dark finally pulled out a book called 《Easter: Divine Revelation(复活节：神启)》

In this world where gods truly existed, the significance of each festival was far more profound than ordinary people could imagine.

Whether it was Halloween, Christmas, or Easter for this instance, this held true for all of them.

Their origins were far from being as simple as what was spread around today.

Dark leaned against the bookshelf and carefully looked over the book for a while, then took it to the reading room and sat down on his usual seat to read further in.

The author of 《Easter: Divine Revelation》 was the "", which meant that it was most likely jointly written by the team from "holy church". Of course, there was also a possibility that the "holy church" had banned the right of authorship of the real author.

In short, the content inside was thus inclined to the doctrine of "holy church".

Just like how they propagated to the outside world that Christmas was the birthday of the "", they also dubbed Easter as the day of resurrection of the "Saint".

But unlike the myth of the resurrection of Jesus, no one could nail the "Saint" to the cross!

It was impossible and impermissible.

As one of the oldest gods and the first "human" mentioned in the scriptures of the holy church, "Saint" wasn't even allowed to "die".

And since there was no "death", there was of course no "resurrection".

So how did Easter come about?

Dark continued to read the book.

Faint rustles came about as fingertips rubbed against the corner of the page.

"Saint" was the first human.

He was both a "God" and a "human".

Before His coming, there was no "human" in the world.

After His coming, the first "human" appeared in the world. It was none other than Himself.

He is the beginning of "human", and the origin of "human".

He was the progenitor of all human beings in the world!

He had never "died" in the past, and He still "existed" even now.

His so-called "resurrection" wasn't a "resurrection from the dead", but a "resurrection" of another concept.

……

In order to protect mankind in the long river of time, the "Saint" once "sacrificed" Himself.

This was a very important step in the propagation of the "Saint".

But He couldn’t really "sacrifice" Himself.

So He did not die, but was split into three.

Probably, the myth borrowed here was " manifesting into the Three Pure Ones".

After the "sacrifice", the "Saint" differentiated into three fetuses.

These three fetuses grew up and thrived under the pull of fate. One of them became the unparalleled , the other became the omniscient , and the last one became the incomparably noble .

After these three led mankind to glory and reached the pinnacle of that era, the Brave One, the Sage and the Emperor came to the "Saint's" site of sacrifice at the same time.

When their eyes met, the three people suddenly regained their memories. Thereafter, they smiled at each other and merged into one.

And thus, the "Saint" who had disappeared for decades was "resurrected" once more.

……

And that day, was "Easter".

……

"Why do I keep feeling an inexplicable sense of déjà vu?"

Dark closed the book with a strange expression.

"Could it be that specifically asked me to search for the origin of Easter because she wanted to tell me that the seven parts of , who I'm not sure if they truly exist or not, are planning to merge into one this upcoming Easter? Do you really think it's the Diamond Brother of the ?"

Dark picked up his pen and knocked it on the table, then immediately denied it.

"Impossible, this is only the first year!"

"Besides, there's no news of the demon king escaping the seal."

"Moreover, I don't know whether it's really divided into seven parts like in 《》."

……

"What are you reading?"

The sudden voice in his ear brought Dark back to his senses.

He reflexively turned his head and saw Senior Sister Pandora leaning forward with her hands behind her back, looking at him with a sweet smile.
