Chapter 36 – The Saint

Who is the warrior

In the past, when the demon king was alive, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the most important being in subjugating the demon king, but now he was more like an adventurer called a hero.

However, this does not mean that the place will disappear, so it is said that the warrior with the holy sword is so powerful that he usually catches the remaining demons in the world through adventure activities.

Of course, each person is different.

However, most of the people who are selected as heroes by the Goddess have a hard time staying in one place, and rather than a personality that values ​​peace, they are more aggressive against demons and have strong potential. People who live count them on their hands.

In that sense, the warriors of this generation were miraculous, if at all.

Most of the heroes wanted to go on an adventure, but for some reason, the hero of this generation was not going on an adventure, but rather took a seat and received a request to beat the beast.

What’s the difference?

If the modern hero was an adventurer and mercenary who received a request and solved it, what the modern hero does is closer to a solver who receives a request and solves it.

That’s why I said it was special.

And…

“He’s coming… ?”

I am acquainted with the dragon.

Well, since it’s a saint, there’s no choice but to know, but the hero and I are a little… It was an odd relationship.

What to say… I would say that it sticks to me so much that I doubt my taste.

Of course, it’s a woman, not a man.

It’s called a female warrior.

From the time I met the hero, I was in the middle of acting as a saint, so I didn’t contact the hero more than necessary.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I didn’t like the hero, but because I was a saint, people around me didn’t approach me well, so I was just a funny guy who came to me every once in a while, except for Lydia, who always had to be alone.

Recently, he received a request that seemed to take quite a long time, and he said he would do it for a while, but did he come back now?

Wait for a sec.

– He said he arrived… ?

[Huh? They have arrived! Are you going to your house soon? ⸜(*ˊᗜˋ*)⸝]

– How do you know that?

[Oh… Hmm… I think it was some kind of magic! ଘ(੭˃ᴗ˂)ㅁ☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ]

It’s not an area that can be solved with magic.

[Anyway, work hard on the series~ Share the story of the dragon you met after a long time!]

I thought so even without saying it.

I hurriedly left my seat and stood up.

If it was inside the site anyway, there was no problem going around alone, so I took a deep breath after arranging all the equipment in the room.

The hero doesn’t know my original appearance.

Even Lydia was only aware of the extent to which I was moderately released from Saint Mode, but she did not know that I was fully freed.

The only thing she knows about me who is completely free is Preah and Marie.

From now on, I have to completely turn into a saintess mode…

‘I’m sorry for that kid, but if I use it well, there might be a way to reconnect with the Empire.’

There is a downside to having to convince the hero, but in fact, if we try to communicate with the empire again while we cut off the connection first, it is correct that we have to crawl in from our side.

What an empire… If you don’t interact with us, you won’t see any benefit, but you won’t lose.

It was the Seongguk side who suffered the loss.

It is nonsense to stop exchanges with an empire that is no different from the center of the continent and to remain as a neutral country.

The reason why it is maintained is because the influence of the god we worship in this world is very strong.

If you serve a god with all your heart and touch a holy country full of believers, no matter how great an empire it is, you can’t avoid divine punishment.

A little bit of that

It’s not particularly scary to be a holy nation, but if God’s punishment falls, it’s not bothersome at all, and there may be a backlash within the empire, so I won’t come out.

And there is only one way to meet Mari naturally, in the direction I ask for.

‘Is it an academy… ‘

Imperial Academy.

He is asking to be accepted into the prestigious Silvatain Academy.

If a saintess from a holy country entered the academy, the empire would surely send her to the academy.

And that would be Marie.

Will Freya come too?

I heard that he was getting old enough to go to the academy, but there were rumors that he was still busy concentrating on swordsmanship.

I’m just thinking about how far I’ll go, but I haven’t decided yet whether or not I’ll actually go.

If I go to the academy, the Empire and the Holy Kingdom become friends again and I can go to the festival freely, there would be nothing more gratifying than that.

Hmm… I don’t know if it’s getting better, but it’s weird to come and go at will.

“Saint?”

Lydia, who saw me coming out, looked at me with her questioning expression.

I looked around and asked Lydia.

“Has the hero come?”

“Oh, I just came to tell you. But how… “

“God guided me.”

God is comfortable.

If something happens, if you roughly say that God did it, most of the religious people here will get over it. Lydia, of course, knows that I am a painter, but she does not know that I am a writer called Lily.

If God sees me, he might lament that I’m selling his name even on such trivial things…

If you have it, you should use it.

I didn’t write it in a very bad place, I just wrote it to hide the fact, but I don’t think you’ll be angry with that.

Maybe.

“Can you guide me?”

I’ll have to meet the dragon first.

The fact that a guy who used to roam freely on his own, claiming to be free, came to the Holy Land, doesn’t that mean that something went wrong?

I’d like to hear a story.

.

.
.

The hero sat quietly in the room.

Normally, I thought he would run right at me, but did he bring me here for a really serious reason?

“Ah… You are here.”

As soon as he saw me, the warrior smiled.

However, his usual lively personality seemed to have subsided. There must be a reason why he is so weak.

I sat down with a bit of tension, took a sip of the tea the nun brought, and looked at the warrior.

“What are you here for?”

“That is… I came with a request.”

I like this part.

Unlike other people, the hero doesn’t talk back and says what he wants to say right away, so he doesn’t have to talk for a long time.

“Looks like something very important.”

“I need your help.”

“My help?”

When it comes to my help, most of it is just healing people.

If it was said that it was a saintess’ usefulness, wouldn’t it be like that?

That kind of role that heals the injured and heals the sick.

It’s not impossible to say that she’s not only a saint, but she’s actually at her age as a saint, so it’s not impossible…

‘Nope… ‘

I hate going away from it.

Hard at first

Really great

To an unbelievable level.

In most cases, when a hero asks for help, countless people suffer from plague, and in most cases dozens to hundreds of people are injured by demonic attacks, so after I go and treat them, they are so tired that walking becomes difficult.

Of course, if you squeeze it, you can keep walking, and in fact, since I am a saintess chosen by the Goddess herself, there is no limit to gathering holy power, but I don’t want to go through that kind of penance again.

She went along with the idea that she had to show herself as a saint last time and got a really big nose injury.

I swallowed and asked what was going on.

“The village I received this request is on the verge of disappearing. The nun on my side wasn’t enough… I hope you can help me.”

Ah… Who is not a hero?

Still, compared to the past, fights with monsters and attacks by demons have disappeared, so it’s not always to the level of being called here and there like in wartime, but this is difficult in its own way.

Can not help it.

If I don’t go out, I’ll still hear people say I’m a saint.

As I have to play the perfect saint, I have to step forward.

‘I have to declare a hiatus… ‘

Take a break for a while

“Yes… I will accept it.”

“As expected, it’s Eris… ! Thank you so much! Love you!”

“Sah, you can’t just say I love you like that.”

The warrior smiled brightly, grabbed my hand and shook it wildly.

Alright, let me ask you a favor.

The fact that you asked me to do such a difficult job must mean that you are willing to do what I want.

“Can I ask you a favor instead?”

I’m sorry to use it politically, but… You asked for something to be sorry for, so it’s common for both of you, right?

Because now I need at least one more on my side.
