93 – Caregiver_Saint

“Bon appetite.”

No matter how delicious the food is, eating it again with a full stomach after emptying two bowls just now is like that. If I add more, I think it will regurgitate.

“Can’t we take the bandages off? We’re the only ones left.”

“Once you get used to solving it, it’s uncomfortable to adapt again later.”

“That’s right. …Have you been to the doctor?”

With a hint of reluctance, Lian raised the word doctor. I heard that people who use holy power and doctors don’t like each other that much, but that must be true. In that respect, I could also vaguely understand Lian’s thoughts of lowering her head and recommending a doctor.

“I’ve already done it.”

“That… the potion using the good ingredients…”

“I bought a potion with half of my property and poured it into it.”

“Ugh… that…”

Ryan groaned as if he couldn’t think of anything more.

No matter how much I wrapped my head, I couldn’t think of it, so I put down the tray I was holding in front of me and asked me to eat it with both hands.

“I’m full.”

“Ah.. I see. Then it can’t be helped.”

Being able to back down so gently makes rejection difficult. However, there is no room to add more to eat again.

I was a little curious because I had never tasted the food Lian made before, but I had to eat the medicine that Mirsen gave me, so I had to keep an empty stomach after eating.

“I used a healing magic… but just in case, I’ll take the temperature.”

He raised his hand and placed it on my forehead. It was as if a cold towel had been placed on his hand, which felt a bit chilly.

“Umm… I think it’d be better if we put our foreheads together…”

Lian, who was muttering as if making an excuse, suddenly put her forehead on my head.

Is it correct to say that I had it? Baka-! With the sound, my eyes went blank for a moment.

“hehehe…”

Lian made a sloppy noise as she sat down and stroked her forehead. She looked like a girl of her age, but in reality she was a saint. She’s the first time she’s been given the grandiose title of a saint, but no matter what, Lian won’t be in a comfortable enough situation to nurse a bastard like me here. The person himself said, ‘I really like things like prayer!’ I’m saying that, but the general public won’t think so.

Even if you go outside right now, you can hear people chanting that the continent can be peaceful thanks to Lian.

This is a bit ambiguous. I think if it was Lian, he would gladly follow me, but I think people would rebel if I let him take his hands off work.

We are already in a difficult situation. No, when I first thought about it, all the remaining members who requested a reunion were people living their own lives.

It was an unusual case for Solar, who left without any regrets even though she belonged to the Mage Tower.

Is it okay to drag them into the selfishness of ‘wanting to get rid of the past’? The thought came to me in the twenties.

no Let’s try not to think like this. He slapped himself once on the cheek to erase negative thoughts.

match-! Lian shuddered with the sound. Then, after looking at my appearance for a while, I cast healing magic.

Is it okay to use holy power at random like that? It was a while to be amazed at the tingling pain that went away in an instant. Ryan grabbed my arm and said seriously.

“Did you think of something else? I’m sorry.

I’m sorry to Lian, but hearing that made me goosebumps a little. Was it influenced by Lane? How can you say such cheesy words so casually?

Anyway, the pain went away in an instant, but I was able to calm my mind somehow. Although I came to the slightly erratic conclusion that I was making a selfish choice for myself.

“Lian. I need your strength.”

At the direct request, Lian stiffened as he did.

uh? Did you just say the main point without much back and forth?

After about 10 seconds of silence, Lian wiggled and moved the tips of her fingers as if she had been turned to stone and then released.

“You say you need my strength?”

“Yeah. It has to be you.”

At my words, Lian clenched her fists and took a posture as if she was shouting ‘won’.

Are you already making up your mind? It didn’t seem like he would ever refuse.

“Are you saying it’s not me?”

“Yes. No one else.”

Now I’ve become a body that can’t be satisfied with the healing magic of other priests! It’s not the same thing, but since they’ve been on a long journey without any personnel changes, they couldn’t even think of recruiting a priest other than Lian.

“No one else?”

Why are you saying the same thing, as if replaying it? I nodded my head in affirmation.

“Ehehehe.. heh.. euhheh..”

I heard a laugh that didn’t match the saintess at all. It was so warm that I burst into laughter just by listening to it as if I was sympathetic… honestly, it was funny.

“There is something urgent or unavoidable, but if you have no choice but to do it, you can refuse.”

“No! There’s no such thing! An urgent matter? An indispensable matter? That’s my request!”

“Uh.. yes. Thank you.”

I thanked him for his enthusiastic attitude. Ryan was rolling his legs as if he was dreaming, his hands on his cheeks and hesitating.

In fact, did you overdo it in the temple? That’s why I wanted to get out. If that’s really the case, then I’ve done something I’m sorry for. So far, ‘Aren’t you praying? Because I said it as if I was pushing it.

“Can you say that this is a victory now? Who will confess first? It’s better to receive it…”

He may be talking quietly, but the room is already quiet, and my ears are a bit bright, so I can hear everything.

It’s a confession…

Did I say the sacrament of confession wrong? Or are you saying that you really abused yourself in the temple and you’re confessing it?

“I don’t know, but if there’s anything I can help with, let me know. I’ve brought you in, so I’ll help.”

“Yes? Really!?”

“Huh? Uh uh.”

How much abuse had he been subjected to, so that the good Lian reacted like this? Could it be that the words of some drunkards who shouted that the church was rotten were true?

“..no. not now..”

Lian struggled alone, but shook her head alone. As if fighting something inside of him, he keeps repeating the words ‘No, not now’ for a long time.

“Yes. I’ll keep this as a debt. Do I have to remember it and pay it back later?”

Is it debt again? Then he ended up on the streets as a debt collector.

I put it on a notepad in my head. Indebted to Solar, Rian, and Myrsene.

It is a debt so great that it is impossible to distinguish between superiority and inferiority. I should always be thankful that there are so many good people next to me. Of course, I will pay off the debt properly later.

“So what does it mean to need power? I’m ready!”

“Let’s get back together.”

“Let’s get back together? What metaphor are you talking about?”

“.. Huh? No, I just need to interpret it literally.”

“Let’s unite.. Unite means unite.. Ugh..! No, I’m the first one…”

“Let’s travel like back then.”

As soon as I went into more detail, Lian’s shoulders drooped. I was expecting a nice armor for my birthday, but I felt like an adventurer who received only one herb as a gift.

I don’t know what he was expecting, but I asked for forgiveness from Lian, who was reluctant to fight.

“I know it’s selfish to tell you this, but…”

“No. It’s not like that. We’re not in a relationship where we’re arguing for profit or loss like that, right? Just say whatever you want to say. Think of it as a wall.”

Thanks to that, I was able to speak more comfortably.

“Let’s go on an adventure like back then. Gather me, you, Rain, Solar, and even Odrox.”

“A demon world?”

“I’m going to find the Continent’s Devil’s Edge. Did you see that fragment just now?”

Lian nodded. I started by saying that it was still speculation, and then summarized the relationship between the demonic scene and the fragments that Solar had told me about.

“..Then you can’t fall in anymore, right? If it’s already me.”

It wasn’t hard to foresee Lian’s reaction at an age where she knew how she felt for the devil.

“Okay. If it’s something related to demons, you’ll be able to get away with it a little easier.”

“It’s not certain yet, so don’t move too fast. There’s a mana stone for communication anyway, right?”

“That’s right. Ron doesn’t seem to use it well, though.”

“..Sorry. I’m not good at recording. I’ll do my best from now on.”

“Okay. Where can we meet when we get in touch?”

“Let’s decide that later.”

The word dean’s office came to mind for a moment, but it was already coming in and out as if entering my own house. Maybe he won’t say anything due to his personality, but he’ll be a little concerned about Rain. It’s no different from opening up a place where you do personal work.

As soon as I finish talking, I naturally run out of things to say.

Still, there is no discomfort or pressure to say anything. Because Ryan and I aren’t so shallow that we feel awkward at this silence.

right? rian?

“Ah, uh… uh… how’s the academy these days?”

Lian, who was restless, suddenly said something like a child attending an educational institution. It seems that it was a shallow relationship.

“All of my friends are kind and it’s worth studying. Mom.”

I was a little sad because I thought I was mistaken about a deep relationship, but I responded with a smile and a smile without panic. Actually, during the lecture, I was sleeping all day, but.

“Mom… Rani…”

Uh, wasn’t this correct? Ryan’s shoulders drooped.

“No, I guess I called it that without even realizing it because I wanted to rely on it so much.”

Come to think of it, calling someone younger than me mother was a mistake that I crossed the line.

It’s like saying ‘You look older’ to a woman of your age.

“Ah.. that.. ehehehe.. wanting to rely on it..”

Fortunately, Lian’s evasiveness seemed to work, and Lian’s shoulder, which had just been drooped, returned to its original state.

It was fun to watch as the reaction came back immediately to what I said.

“Aren’t you going to eat the food I made that I want to rely on? It’s already cooled down…”

Lian reveals himself as he really is, saying ‘I’m depressed right now’. I couldn’t shake my head in front of such a voice.

yes. Are you just eating? do i have to die?

gulp. I swallowed once the saliva that came out of tension.

Perhaps it was a sign that it looks delicious, Lian let out another laugh.

“Eat… I’ll eat. Eat? Are you really going to eat?”

“Yes! Enjoy your meal!”

After forcing something to come up from the inside, I took a deep breath and drank a drink.

..not delicious. It was just plain tasteless.

It was an unbiased and honest impression.

Of course, I told Lian that it was delicious.
