Chapter 71 – Snow Ball (4)

I don’t know if Iona was surprised by Karla’s puppy-like appearance or if she was surprised by the fact that her mana core was intact, but she nodded at my request anyway.

“Yes… I understand. It would be very reassuring to have an escort to fight alongside you in case of emergency.”

“Yes?”

I bet she would have taken down Ed Merek a lot easier if she had only had Carla.

“But isn’t it too much? For example, asking Carla to recognize what she did as a Yandel student’s score.”

“Do not worry. I am confident that I will score well on my own.”

“Yes. That’s a good posture! Anything like that will make it through! No, do you want some change left over? Is there anything else you need besides Carla?”

“Yes? Is Carla enough?”

“Ugh….”

For some reason, Carla made a gasping sound as she grabbed her chest.

Looking at Carla like that, Iona giggled at her and nodded her head.

“Okay! Okay! You don’t seem to want anything else, so I’ll convert the extra points into points!”

“Thank you if you do.”

“What? To be honest, I also have high expectations from Yandel students.”

Iona, who licked her lips while looking this way. Surprisingly, that’s just flattering.

Vampires have a habit of biting their lips when they’re in a good mood.

Of course, from the viewer’s point of view, it looks quite strange.

Iona belatedly noticed this, so she waved her hand with an awkward smile on her face.

“Anyway, I’ll deliver it like that! Sorry for coming to you this morning! There will be no classes for the next ten days, so rest well in the meantime!”

“Oh. Yes. Thank you so much, Professor.”

“Yes! See ya! … And you did a great job subjugating Edmerek!”

Dreuk. Widely.

Iona added a short word and left the treatment room.

“…….”

A treatment room with a strange silence.

I thought it was a bit noisy when I was there, but it’s so quiet when I’m not there.

I asked Carla, who was still hesitant, in a low voice.

“Shall we have breakfast?”

I’m really hungry because I couldn’t eat anything while I was passing out.

***

Around the time we finished eating with Carla.

The news that I had come to my senses had already reached me, and the academy sent someone to ask me to listen to the situation.

So he told me all about the cultists and dungeons hiding in the basement of Gef City, and the unwelcome obsession of the turbid unity that started with the accidentally killed Pietro.

It ended quickly because it felt like I was just checking the facts rather than asking if there had been any investigations already.

After that, the therapist in charge confirmed that I was now fine, and I was able to leave the intensive care unit.

“It’s been a while since I can go to the dormitory!”

“At most four days, no fuss. And I have a place to stop before going to the dorms.”

“Yes? Where?”

“The girls’ dormitory.”

“…….”

Why… Why are you looking at me with those eyes?

“What are you thinking now, Carla?”

“If the master is arrested by the guards, where should I sleep from now on… I thought so.”

“I’m not going to break in, I’m going to visit you formally? At the very least, I should let the people who came to visit me while I passed out know that I am safe.”

“Aha. Then you don’t have to tell me about the secret passage I used to sneak out!”

“What is that? Please tell me in detail.”

I arrived at the 1st year A class girls’ dormitory with Karla and her chattering with that feeling.

It looks just like the men’s dormitory. Perhaps the structure as well. Although the security is a bit stricter.

For reference, the number of class A is very small and the building is large, so all faculties are gathered in one dormitory.

Thanks to that, it saved me the trouble of wandering around.

I stopped by the housekeeper’s office, which was built in front of the dorm, and asked if I could call Elisha and Helena.

“Ugh. Student Elisha said she would return to the Sylvan Magic Tower during this break, so she isn’t there right now. Can she call at least Helena students?”

“I can’t help it. She will ask at least Priest Helena.”

“Yes. Then please wait.”

After saying that, the supervisor operated one of the magic tools lined up on the desk.

What… Since something dangerous happened, I should show at least my face on the mage tower to let them know it’s safe. The timing was a bit off.

Waiting in a small room reserved for visitors like me, Helena came in shortly after.

Golden hair and eyes resembling the light of the sun. And even a soft smile that seemed to embody benevolence.

Where did the momentum of the berserker in the dungeon go, and Helena, who looked like a born priest, greeted him warmly.

“Brother Yandel! You are awake!”

“Thanks to Priest Helena. I heard that she continued to use healing sacred arts until I was transferred to the academy after I collapsed.”

“A. Thanks to Brother Yandel’s distribution of expensive potions, I was able to preserve my holy power. I wrote it to Brother Yandel again, so what would be a waste?”

“Is this how it workshaha.”

Is it because we risked our lives to fight together? The conversation opened in a friendly atmosphere.

After that, how great things I have done, thinking about it now, was the best judgment in that situation, the readiness to carry a lot of potions and scrolls, etc.

Helena kicked me off with all sorts of examples.

I did agree moderately, but to be honest, my face must have turned red by now.

Well, isn’t this almost a compliment?

“As expected, the one who was protected by the righteous light and directly descended the holy relic… !”

“Ahaha….”

No, it’s actually praise right?!

Because before I knew it, the topic of conversation was flowing in the same way as how great I was that the righteous light loved, and how great the righteous light that found me was.

Even after recognizing Karla, they didn’t say anything, saying that everyone must be thinking something.

The Church of the Righteous Light, which trembles when it comes to cultists, even among them, Helena, who is particularly severe, goes over it even when she sees Karla, whose family has been ruined for being accused of cultists.

It’s to the point where I’m afraid to ask a little about what kind of existence I’ve become in Helena.

How many times have you accepted such an unfamiliar story? Perhaps coming to her senses at last, Helena bowed her head, her face suddenly blushing.

“Sorry, brother. Was I too excited?”

“It could be. You didn’t do anything wrong, so don’t worry too much, Miss Helena.”

“Thank you… Oh, but I have to say this. Soon, the headquarters is going to officially support Brother Yandel… Would it be okay?”

“Yes? Sponsorship? Me?”

If anything, I tried to speak first, but this is how it goes?

But did my surprised reaction mean something bad to Helena?

“Hey, don’t worry! Even if it’s sponsored, the church’s sponsorship feels a little different from the sponsorship of other places! You do not have to take refuge in the bosom of light! Just as it has been until now, it will be enough for you to continue to kill cultists and monsters!”

“Calm down. It’s just that I’m surprised. Thank you for valuing me so highly in the Church of Light. It’s just that I’m not short on money… If it’s okay, can I get help elsewhere?”

“The other part is… ?”

“I would like it to be included in the sharing of dungeon information and subjugation of cultists. Oh, of course, I’m not trying to get a shameless free ride. Any place that fits my level is fine. There is nothing I can do without it.”

If left alone, the Church of Gwangmyeong will go through all kinds of places, fall into a trap, and end up being attacked by cultists.

If you’re lucky, you’ll be wiped out, and if you’re unlucky, the whole church will be corrupted, so I have to prevent it somehow.

In this way, if you have to increase your influence by participating in the subjugation of the Church of Light in advance, wouldn’t you be able to stop it as suspicious when the situation arises?

In fact, this is also the standard route.

However, I’m a little concerned about Helena, who has been staring blankly since earlier.

“Helena?”

“…….”

“Priest Helena?”

“Yes, yes… I’m listening. So… You refused the money and asked for a chance to tear apart the dogs of the evil spirit?”

“Yes? It’s kind of extreme, but it’s true.”

“Ah! Lord… !”

Helena looked up at her ceiling with her hands clasped together with an expression of sudden emotion.

And then yank her head! Turn it around and send me blazing eyes and say.

“Brother Yandel. I know this is not polite, but would it be all right if I be rude for a moment?”

“I don’t know what’s going on… Yes. If there is anything you want to say, feel free to do so.”

“Do you believe in the righteous Kwangmyeong and go to heaven?”

“…….”

What is propagation

“Yes, I still want to stay in the world.”

“You don’t have to take refuge in the Lord like me and offer everything.”

“I’m sorry though.”

When she refused again, Helena nodded her head in regret.

“If this is what Brother Yandel meant, there is nothing we can do about it. Just know that the righteous light always keeps its arms open.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

The faith route is efficient, but there are restrictions in many ways depending on the doctrine.

Even if he is not a priest who receives divine power, this is the same.

In addition, if you are officially baptized in any denomination, that god will watch over you.

Not a figurative expression, really.

In the first place, good or evil, since they were sealed amicably, they look around the world in this way, so there is nothing they can do about it.

But aren’t there a lot of points that I’m stabbed in many ways.

It’s the fact that he knows what’s to come, and the fact that he’s from the outside world, Earth.

If I do something wrong, I could become a target for subjugation, so I must not receive baptism even if I don’t know anything else.

But is it because he refused too much? A car that wants to make the atmosphere a little awkward.

Helena smiled and moved on to the next subject.

“Then do you need anything else? The brother said that financial support is fine, but we, who are sponsoring only because of that, don’t feel comfortable.”

“Ugh. It’s different….”

After thinking for a while, she nodded her head.

“Then can I get some nun clothes?”

“… Yes?”

“I think three suits would be enough.”

“…….”
