Chapter 654 – #017. Saint of Light, Christina Luminous (7).

#017. Saint of Light, Christina Luminous.

Cristina stopped by the orphanage every day to volunteer.
She spent more than half of her day at the orphanage.
The people at the orphanage treated Christina like her family, not her husband.

“Does the saintess have anything else to do?”
“The war with the demon king ended safely, and we prayed without fail. She is not lazy enough to be pointed out by Ryan.”

I put a lot of laundry in a large basin.
Carrying a rather heavy basin, she sprinted after Christina.
What the orphanage director ordered me to do today is to do laundry, wash her children’s clothes.

To do the laundry, she had to go a little far from Starlight Orphanage.
The capital of the Holy Empire, it went all the way outside the walls.

“It’s too far.”
“That’s why the director only gave me laundry as my daily routine. The distance is far and the quantity is enormous.”
“Can’t we just use magic? There is a ‘clean’ magic.”

She asked in a gruff voice.

“A ‘clean’ magic for each child’s clothes? Would hand washing be much more efficient?”

Cristina dismissed my complaints by saying that she should stop talking nonsense.

From my point of view, hand washing is more inefficient, but it seems that people in the world are not.
So she quietly followed Christina behind her.

“You are having a hard time, saintess.”

A guard guarding the outer wall of the capital recognized Christina and greeted her warmly.
Everywhere she went, no one recognized her.

“Hello.”

Cristina was greeted with a wide smile.
A young man, a woman, a woman with a child, and a grandfather who is about to die.
Greet the other person the same no matter who they are.
She waved her hand with a benevolent smile like a saintly woman’s.

She went out through the side door, not the front door where the carriages came and went.
The side door was a door that only people came in and out of.
Most of them were mainly used by people who had errands in the outer villages.

Inside and outside the walls, the atmosphere changed drastically.
Even if it is the capital of the Holy Empire, it seems that the gap between the rich and the poor cannot be resolved.
It seems that it is not impossible to live outside the village, but compared to the inside, it seemed to be lacking a lot.

We headed for the river that runs through the village.
There was a laundry by the river.
It is a place where the flowing river can be pulled out to the side of a stream to wash clothes.

In the laundry area, some village women were sitting and doing laundry.
As soon as Christina entered, her attention was drawn to her.

“Saintess! Oh, aren’t you a saintess?”
“Hello, mothers.”

Cristina was truly a star.

This is a holy empire that believes in the god of light.
The people who live in that empire naturally believe in the light and live.
To them, Christina is no different than the apostle chosen by the light.

“Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!”
“I didn’t expect to see you here!”

The ladies stood up awkwardly and stretched out their hands.
She wiped the water from her hands onto her skirt and shook hands with Christina.
There was also an ajumma who wanted to hug.

“Thank you. Hello.”

Our saintess accepted all the people’s welcome.
Smiling brightly without any sign of dislike.

“Are you here to do laundry? The saintess herself?”
“Ahaha, that’s how it happened.”

At one woman’s question, Christina glanced at her.
Originally, the laundry was the responsibility of the orphanage teachers.
But why did Cristina follow me?

Christina made the excuse that I was not going to do it right, and she came all the way here to keep an eye on me.

“The orphanage children are good. Try on the clothes the saintess herself washed for you.”
“Hey, what do you mean? That’s something you can’t say to poor kids.”
“Ah.”

Ajumma is talking to each other.
It was so loud that I questioned whether there was so much to say.
I wish I could just do laundry and disappear.

I’m thinking about getting rid of it right away.
A lady pointed at me and asked.

“Who is that man… ?”
“There’s no way he’s the boyfriend of a saintess who belongs to the Church of Light…”

The whispering sound could be heard from here.

“…”

Christina’s earlobes turned red.

Church clergy who believe in and follow the light must basically keep their chastity.
Just because she was a saint didn’t mean she could violate it.

But Christina could not keep her chastity.
She was embarrassed or ashamed, the reason her face reddened.

‘If she finds out that she even gave birth to a child, she’ll just freak out.’

It wasn’t something she would gossip about.
So, even though she lived near the capital of the Holy Empire, the details of her story were unknown.

Ajumma who came up with the right answer after whispering about this and that.

“You’re the teacher at Starlight Orphanage!?”
“You’re right.”
“Hey, is this the first time I’ve seen you? Are you the new male teacher?”
“That too, right.”

Ajumma really spit out words without a break.
It was the level of shooting from all sides.

I have to go back after doing the laundry, but I still have a mountain of laundry left over, and my brain feels dizzy.

“Mothers, Mr. Ryan has to do laundry and go home soon… ? There are a lot of seniors in the orphanage.”

Cristina intervened at just the right time.
Thanks to her, she was able to put the basket down and take her seat.

“Ah, we were bothering you too much.”
“It seems like the bachelor never came to the laundry, so he was really excited.”
“I’m sorry, sir?”

Ajumma laughing loudly as if they had boiled and eaten a fire bowl.
I think I will be traumatized by the sound of giggling.

“Whoa…”

Turning the basin over, she scattered her laundry.
She rolled up her sleeves and started washing.

After picking up the children’s clothes one by one, they soaked them in running water.
Once soaked, lather with laundry soap.

Then it was fucking rubbed and rubbed and beaten.
The yellow water ran all the way to the floor.
It didn’t turn white, but it was still enough to look at.

Even with such a worldview, it was strange that soap existed.
Maybe it was thanks to magic, I thought about it and moved mechanically.

“The bachelor is surprisingly wild.”
“All the boys of bachelor age say that they are adventurers or mercenaries, and they say bullshit.”

The ladies who glanced at me from the side gave compliments one by one.
I laughed awkwardly and skipped it.

“Do you have a girlfriend?”
“Cough, Cough!”

A woman mentioned her girlfriend.
Cristina then suddenly starts coughing her up.
As if not expecting a question related to her girlfriend to come up, she glared at her aunties with a very embarrassed face.
However, the aunties are not interested in Christina.

“Girlfriend, hmm…”

I don’t have a girlfriend, but I do have wives.
But now, my body is Ryan, and I have no girlfriend or wife in terms of status.
I wonder what to answer.

“There is not.”
“Doesn’t exist? I thought it would be because it was smooth, but it’s surprising.”

Ajumma smiles smirkingly.

“Well then, we have a daughter in our house.”
“Your daughter?”

Just in time, the lady with her daughter is trying to introduce her baby to me.

“It looks like me, so it looks moderately pretty.”
“… I will believe you for now.”
“What do you mean?”

Auntie opened her eyes and looked at me.

“Hmm, hmm. Anyway, it’s time for him to get married soon… No matter how much I introduce her to a man, she keeps rejecting it saying she doesn’t like it. Do you hate your job because it’s dangerous, don’t you like it because you don’t like your face, or do you hate it because your family is poor?”

Auntie shook her head in her sigh.
He seems to be in trouble because of his foolish daughter who has no answers.

“Do you think that’s enough to get me rejected?”

She is not a very picky woman.
I don’t think there is an answer as Ryan.

“No. I think it would be Ryan. Neither my daughter nor a man like Ryan would refuse. I am so sure.”
“Okay?”
“Ryan shines. I feel it This intense light, the weight of a noble soul… !”

Should I call that mother that daughter?
From my point of view, this woman was not an ordinary woman either.

“Besides, Ryan is a teacher at Starlight Orphanage. My daughter really likes kids. If I liked it, I would have gotten a job as an orphanage teacher.”
“Where is the orphanage?”

I was curious and asked.
But Christina, who didn’t even ask, answered.

“Mr. Rowen!”

Christina said, staring at her aunt.

“Aren’t you Roen’s mother!? Wow, they look alike!”
“Does Saintess know our Loen? She was good that year, was good. The saintess knows her name too.”

Rowen, Rowen.
Looking at it this way, it seems that he resembles Loen.
A woman who came to Starlight Orphanage as a teacher at the same time as me.

‘But Loen rejected all male introductions?’

It can’t be.
As soon as I entered Starlight Orphanage, when I glanced at it, there was no such information in the information I saw.
The Loen information I checked…

[Loen Vanilla]
Human, female, 25 years old.
I like babies very much.
Wanting to have a baby of her own.

She had nothing to dislike or dislike men.
Rather, the men’s hurdles belonged to a very low level.
Almost auto call level.

‘Hey, god power. Show me the detailed information.’

Siri for the iPhone, Bixby for the Galaxy, and the power of God for Jinwoo Kim.
In other words, kamichikara.

[Loen Vanilla]
Human, female, 25 years old.
Hidden Information 1st Unlocked.
18-year-old leaves her hometown dreaming of becoming a first-class adventurer
22 years old, achieved Intermediate Adventurer.
23 years old, as a mercenary Geron – Participated in the Valaris War.
Hidden information secondary lock.

‘No, why are so many things locked?’

1st lock, 2nd lock.
In other words, it is like an unconscious security level.
In order to unlock the secondary lock and extract information, stronger brainwashing magic must be used.

It means that Loen is hiding the past about her.
Enough to withstand powerful brainwashing magic.

This is information you shouldn’t have read.
Because it’s Loen’s private life.

No matter how much I say, I don’t dig out even this part.
If it wasn’t necessary information, she had no reason to touch it deeply.

‘She seems to be sincere too.’

By the standards of this world, 25 years old is well past the age of marriage.
You can see it’s too late.
She doesnt feel extenuating because she has a history of being an adventurer.

Her aunt was caring for her daughter as her mother.
She was a bit eccentric, but her feelings were sincere.

In order to do a good deed in front of Christina, he checked Loen’s information.

[Loen Vanilla]
Hidden Information 2nd Unlocked.
23 years old, captured as a prisoner by the Valaris side, gang-raped indiscriminately in the camp of the Valaris kingdom.
24 years old, defeat of the kingdom of Valaris, return as a prisoner of war, uterine rupture, inability to conceive.
