Chapter 204 – For Elise

“Where’s the clothes shop!”

I remembered the memory of shopping with Winia, but it was like a real high-end clothing store, so I couldn’t go over it with my current level. She grabbed Elise’s hand and ran like a woman in search of a place to sell something that looked like standard women’s plain clothes.

“Clothes–shop!!! Where is it!!!!”
“Saints! Calm down! Calm down! I can buy my clothes!”
“No, but I live for my work.”

After a long rampage, Elise stopped me by grabbing my arms with both of her hands. No, in the end, the reason why I need private clothes is because of my circumstances, so I think buying them will suit me in many ways.

“It’s for the public good, it’s for paradise. Then it’s my job, so there’s no need to buy me clothes.”
“Wrong. Too bad.”

The plan to buy clothes for Illizee came to nothing due to fierce opposition from the person concerned.

“Mu, of course, the saint’s heart is really grateful.”
Hehe.”

It is still early in the morning.

I wandered around with Griese as if touring, and found her women’s clothing store. Looking at it like this, it’s kind of like a date, but if you insisted, we’re like friends and brothers, so it’s wrong to see it that way.

“So, the poor people are a little wary of the eternal life. Some people seem to be rather afraid… I haven’t heard the details yet, so I’m not sure.”
“Is that so? It’s definitely a suspicious story. A new religion that has nested in such a place…”

As she toured the city, she told a story about what she had researched over the past few days.

Most of the poor seemed to be quite reluctant about the Youngsaengkyo, and they showed a really suspicious reaction.

Are you hiding something as a group?

It is unlikely that the poor are systematically hiding information to that extent. There is some kind of external pressure, or the general atmosphere. It is speculated that such things may have been the factors that made such a vigilance.

Such a factor would, after all, be violence or hints of an ominous future. Because the weaker people are, the more often they succumb to such things.

“It’s a hard problem.”
“Well, let’s look at the clothes first. We’ll be able to investigate only after that.”

Now I’m putting on my boots, a shabby tunic, brown work pants, and my precious gear. All I had to do was wear a sword belt and bring a sword.

The lack of armor has greatly reduced my self-esteem, but I can’t approach the poor without such a killing weapon. Elise was just wearing a nun’s uniform for combat purposes.

“Shiba, the shop is not coming out.”

After looking for a while toward the commercial district, a small square with a fountain came out. I moved too much, so I decided to take a break and go and sat down on the bench.

“I’m not very tired.”
“I’m having a hard time. Let’s take a break and go.”
“…All right.”

I feel like I dragged Elise around too much. Even if you say that, it must be hard because you walked a lot. It is important to take breaks from time to time.

Elise, who was sitting next to her, said.

“Saints… You seem to be acting strangely sometimes.”
“Is it an unknown action?”

Are you talking about my insatiable urge?

“Oh, I don’t mean it strangely. It’s just that you’re so kind to me… I’ve never been blessed like this in a row in my life. And, even now. Didn’t you ask me to rest because I was tired?”

I just heard

He’s younger than me, but that’s all. Attitude or attitude. And things like insight surpassed me as an adult. Wouldn’t the true adult mean Elise?

“I’m cheap.”

To that question, I expressed my feelings openly.

“It’s cheap… Macho, are you talking about it?”
“Yes. Well, like I kept saying, I got a lot from you. You say it’s no big deal, but it’s really big for me. Why, did you go to destroy the kobold sanctuary before? When we first met.”

It’s quite old.

To me, who ended up trashing a quest because of the party members’ nonsense, getting beaten up by gremlins, buying Madecassol for 2 silver to treat the wounds, and repairing equipment that was almost a rag, Elise’s request was literally a lifesaver. It was a chance.

“I can say that the 1 silver I received from you back then made me who I am today.

The reason he met Cloudy, and the reason he and Winia formed a three-member couple after resolving their turmoil, was all thanks to Elise.

“Bapmacho never forgets grace.”

Thanks to that, I made a lot of money at the Ossuary Palace.
We also had a festival together.

It was all thanks to Elise that she was able to defeat the kobold queen.
So it is natural to be grateful.

Gapmacho is a man who never forgets kindness. Resentment is repaid 500 billion times, and grace is repaid as much as possible, if not that much. I was taught that by his father, and now that I am a true macho, I have to put those teachings into practice.

“…For some reason, my body is hot.”
“Ah, that’s called [Embarrassment].”

Elise, who had been quietly listening to my words, blushed.

“Your body gets hot.”
“…Ah, anyway, I’ll try to move again soon.”
“Let’s do it.”

It’s an embarrassing story to hear.
Gradually, his physical strength must have recovered, so he moved to find a clothing store again.

“So what is gypsum in the end?”
“A belief that will not give in to anything.”
“Conviction, do you mean?”
“With a heart of steel and a will of iron blood.”

If you ask, it’s natural to talk.

“No agony, no hesitation, no fear.”

I said pointing to the sky.

“So, without any compromise, go straight for justice.”

Elise listened to me with a serious attitude.

“I am such a man.”

That’s bittersweet.

“…I envy you. Being able to be so confident in myself.”

As I spoke with a sense of spleen itself, Elise looked up at me with a moved look on her face. Be confident in yourself, yes. To do it, she went through a lot of trial and error, and also a lot of difficulties.

But I did it.

“Isn’t that the same for you?”

Elise must also be the type who is confident in herself. Because she is a girl who has no hesitation in breaking the heads of evil beings.

It is not something that can be done with any resolution or ideology.
Only a born warrior or serial killer could do that.

“…That’s not true. I’m also afraid of many things, and I always fall into agony. I think following the saints is a long way off.”
“Why don’t you follow me…”
“Hehe, I don’t know if the saints don’t know, but the saints are people who have a lot to learn. Oh, isn’t that a clothing store by any chance?”

After talking with a smile, Elise pointed to her shop her.
It was just a clothing store.

“That’s right. Let’s go.”

Upon entering the store, women’s clothing at reasonable prices was on display. We recommend something like a brown colored robe. Because those colors and designs are easy to blend into the slums.

“Hmm… I don’t know what to choose. It’s my first time buying plain clothes like this… It feels a bit difficult.”
“Then I’ll pick one for you.”

Was it because she stayed at church that she couldn’t do the things that girls of her age normally do? Feeling pity, he picked out the clothes for me… You fucking bastards of the Light and Astral Cross!

It seemed that he had never done anything like this before making me do hard work every day!
Elise took the robe I handed her with her trembling hand.

“Because that’s a changing room? Go in and change.”
“…All right.”

—Sureuk.

Elise entered her dressing room and closed the curtains with her awkward gesture. —Jeolgeureok, Jeolgeureuk. There was the sound of her wearing her light armor being removed. Now that she was undressing, she looked around to hear more.

“It’s fine.”

The store looked fine.

Looking at the price tag attached, it was generally cheap. After she waited for a while, Elise came out after changing her clothes.

“Sir, saint? How are you?”

Just a brown robe.

After all, she didn’t feel that much of a difference from the blue nun’s uniform she was wearing, but anyway, it’s 100% a hanger, no matter what.

She was cute, more like a simple girl than a nun.

“Oh, it just feels right. Let’s do it. I like it because it’s like an ordinary girl, not a nun. Like a store clerk, hey.”
“…Are you talking about an ordinary girl?”

Elise turned around and inspected her clothes for her.

So now let’s do the math.

The low price of clothes is 40 copper.
For the price of admission, he is too generous.

As I was about to take out her wallet, Elise grabbed my wrist.

“Wait, Saint. Can I look at some other clothes for a second?”

Elyze’s eyes seemed to melt with unconcealable joy. After all, Elise is a young girl. What suits a girl is this innocence, not muddy brains soaked in the blood of pagans and monsters.

“Of course! Now choose yourself!”
“…Thank you!”
“You have nothing to thank me for.”

Well, wouldn’t it be possible to delay the investigation a little?

I liked it because it felt like showing the world to a child who had just entered society. Elyse, who had chosen her own clothes her, went into her dressing room her, and every time she came out, she asked what the clothes were like.

How come you look at women’s clothes a lot these days?

“Oh, it’s an outdoor fashion. Wearing it makes you look like a wizard, hey. Use a staff instead of a mace.”
“Whoa, whoop. Is that so? Thank you for your generous evaluation.”

What she wore this time was something like a fluttering white dress. Elise, showing her clothes her, looked very happy.

That would be the biggest achievement.
Seafarer Kim Katt’s life is not wrong!

My true sister Elise!

She passed the time and then went out with the first brown robe she had ever worn. Elise, who changed into her nun’s uniform again, stopped me from trying to do her calculations of her.

“Then let’s go back to the inn, drop off our luggage, change clothes, and start the investigation.”
“Okay. I’ll guide you this time.”

Elise was staying at a small, shabby wooden inn near the Adventurer’s Guild. She could have chosen a slightly better place, and the fact that she dared to choose a place like this seemed to show her pious personality.

ㅡ Kikkiik.

She went up to the second floor, opened the door, and entered together.
It was a very small room.

“…Saints. You need to change your clothes.”
“Stop following me as if possessed.”

She went out for a while and waited. The creaking sound was heard again, and after a while Elise came out.

“Let’s start now.”
“Yes. Let’s go soon.”

Elise came out in normal clothes. She still felt like a girl of her age, without the usual bloodiness.

“Hmm? Elise? You didn’t bring any weapons? The security there is a bit of a mess, so you might get attacked.”
“If that’s the case, don’t worry.”

Elise smiled and pulled her mace out of her sleeve. She hid it under her sleeve. Elise she showed him, and somehow she seemed confident.

Hehe, no worries. As expected, Elise. The preparation is really good.”
“Because you’re going into the den of evil beings, you’ll definitely need a weapon.”

Her face her, looking at her her own mace her, was not the freshness of a girl of her age, but the eyes of her her fanatic her.

After all, nature is unavoidable.

“If they turn out to be cultists, we’ll have to take immediate action.”
“It’s nagging! For world peace! For paradise! Let’s slaughter all the evil beings!”
“Of course! All for the sake of order!”
“For Hwanung!”
“Hurray, hurrah again!”

Uncontrollable tension.
I too cried out to God.

“Our temple will always be dedicated to God!”
“So we move forward without hesitation!”
“Divine!”
“Ph, Friend!”
“Ooh oh oh oh oh oh!!!!!”
“Ohh, ohhhhh…!!”

To be honest, I was praying that they would all be cultists right now. It was an opportunity to legally beat them to death and steal their property and money.

But it seems to be the same for Elise.

“Now then, let’s start! The journey to destroy the evil beings!”
“Oooh! Let’s go! I’ll kill them all!”
“There is no paradise for them!”
“You bastards!”
“Because it is right to destroy them all!”
“Sapphire Kim Kat and Elise are on a sortie!”

Somehow, it seems that the purpose of the investigation has changed a little, but it probably doesn’t matter.

Hooray, hurray, hurrah!
