Even Posing as a Hero is Easy–Why? Cause I’m a God–

Episode 250: Port Town Pombahar (God's Odor 1)

It's been a month since I defeated the Demon King.

On a raucous spring day, I was in a mansion in Kaika Village.

There is no one in the room.

Celica is in state affairs, Edelstein, and Meigna is in the Beastman district.

Lapisia was going to school.

I slept on my back in my own bed.

I wasn't playing anything.

I was checking the message window for worshippers and wishes via amulet.

"May the store make money"

"May your father's illness heal"

"May the demons be gone"

"May I bring it to the woman"

"May you get better and see your lover again..."

"Please cure my daughter's illness, please, please, it's crazy!

Murray, I woke up.

Flush and read the message.

Half of my wishes were overcoming illness.

In particular, that desire has increased in recent times.

"The place is..."

Apparently, the east coast of the Kingdom of Daphnes. The old port town of Pombahar.

There was a concentration of sick people there.

A place I've never been.

Pombahar will be the king's capital of the former Kingdom of Port Metra.

It was situated isolated by mountain ranges on a pointy spear-like peninsula stretching east of the continent.

I was always willing to go by sea.

"Is that a plague?

The moment of defeating the Demon King should also be passed on to this town, but I did not preach directly.

... Rather, a chance to spread the name of the Brave God Squid even further.

If you treat people suffering from disease, you might become known as a brave and healing god. - Pfft.

I rock my Japanese clothes and get up.

I sat down with my knife on my back and left the room refreshed.

◇ ◇ ◇

Spring afternoon sunshine, the port town of Pombahar.

The sea breeze runs through the old brick township.

On the east side the sea continued to the horizon.

Although its history as a port town is ancient, the land was skinny, so it exported cotton, dried fish and grape wine and imported food instead.

It used to flourish but now it was a port town with a lonely atmosphere.

I was walking around the city with Celica and Meña and Lapisia.

The brick paved roads are dusty and the people who go along tend to lean over and are not lively.

There are few items on the shelves of shops, and stores selling cereals handle less wheat and barley. Only corn imported from the peripheral continent was abundant.

- You're working hard, Lionel.

It was a good trend for food to reach people, even if it wasn't wheat they were used to eating.

And for being lonely, I was a lot different from a merchant-style man and woman.

"Sounds lonely...... ill still cause it?

Celica rocked her blonde hair in my words and tilted her neck.

"What do you think? Because it is a town that originally had no land routes and was made up of trade. I think that would have been tough since there were more demons in the ocean."

"I see. I see a lot of merchants at that rate..."

"Yes, it seems Kaika has begun to function as a trade relay port with the surrounding continental villages created"

"That's a big turning point for Port Town... well, is it caused by the population influx"

Celica tilts her neck.

"What does that mean?

"Healthy people or people who get sick once and gain resistance do not develop, but the disease itself may have. Visiting more people increases the risk of infection to those who have no resistance to the disease"

"I see... the influx of people isn't just a good thing. That's Kaika. Does that mean that not only does it interact with the peripheral continent, but does Mr Naga and the others also have the potential to carry disease?

"Of course there is... I just don't hear about the plague in Dollar Earth. Celica, Megna and Lionel did not get sick when they went to the peripheral continent. I wonder what caused the illness..."

- and.

As I walked down lonely boulevard, I heard yelling.

"You sell. You stick together! Get out of here!

Don! and a girl rolled out of a store with a blunt sound.

The girl gives her hand with a sad face as she wakes up her upper body.

A few silver coins were grabbed.

"Please… please sell…"

A tall man appears at the entrance to the store. Tighten a bowl roll to your bald head and put your thick arms together in front of your chest.

"You can sell it for that kind of money! Go home!"

"But your father and your mother..."

"I don't know! - Hmm? What the fuck?

I broke in between the girl and the man while I took a big silver medal [proof of bravery] out of my nose.

"Seeing you wield violence against a child, are you the remnant of the Demon King's Army?

"Whoa! Not brave, Kaika! No, no, that's not true. There's just a regular fee, hehe."

The bald man started rubbing his hands with a loving laugh.

Celica was rushing over to the fallen girl and waking her up to help.

"Are you all right?

"Thank you...... sister"

"- You don't seem to be hurt... this!

Celica's blue eyes open round.

There were several red muscles on the girl's hands, like mite swelling.

I stare at bald men.

"That girl's hand... you hurt her"

"Shit, you're not! Oh, come on with the disease that's been out of the epidemic lately! I didn't do anything! It's true!

A bald man who excuses himself desperately. A cold sweat shines on my head.

"Well, is that the symptom of illness? What's it like?

"It's called phantom burn disease Phantom Burn. I didn't even get close to the fire, but my skin got burned and I got rotten."

"Do you know what caused this? And the pills?

Lizard shook his head. Sweat conveys cheeks.

"I don't know what caused it. The pills barely worked either... The only thing that works for critically ill patients is the last elixir, so come on."

"That sounds expensive."

"Heh. It's the most expensive of the pills. I don't want to get 10 large gold coins (a million yen) per bottle of medicine... anyway, I rarely get the leaves of the world tree of raw materials. Once about six months ago, I was just brought to the King's Capital, and the rest is refreshing."

"Hey!

For some reason, suddenly Lapisia raised her hands and gasped. Doya has a rough nose on her face.

- Columbia.

I don't know what that means, but I'll leave you alone.

I put my arms together and think.

"With the leaves of the world tree, can we cure them... shall we rip them all off?"

"I can't do that!

Lapisia protests with her tiny fist up.

"Why? They'll grow again anyway, won't they?

"Because we're friends!

"Hmm, do we have to find out the cause in the tunnels this time, not to say friends of Lapisia? It's troublesome though."

"Yeah!"

Lapisia rocked a white piece and smiled.

I tell my bald father.

"Let me know if you notice the cause of your illness"

"Or, of course!

He laughed lovingly and went back to the store to escape.

I go to the girl who is being held by Celica.

"Are you all right?

"Yes... brave man. Dare I say, it's good to see you... Huh! Please, help your father and mother."

"Absolutely. Before we do that, we'll start with you. - Healing."

It emits blue light from the palm of your hand.

It was a girl's keloid-shaped arm. Beautiful as I look at it.

- Hmm? You're surprisingly well healed. No fever or cough.

Then you'd be immune to the disease, so why don't you just magically cure the rest?

Yeah, let's do that.

The girl looks at her hands and faintly trembles. And clear tears conveyed cheeks.

"Brave man...... Huh! Thank you, thank you!

"Never mind. Until I did what I deserved as a brave man."

Leaks the sigh that Celica was impressed with next door.

"That's Kaika... it's always great to have more"

"Naturally. Kaika, your brother is always amazing"

I said pale as Migna waved her tail happily.

When the girl stood up fine, she bowed her head as deeply as she could.

"Brave man! Your father and mother, be sure to cure it! Please!

"Absolutely. Show me. - What's your name?

"I say tisse! Brave man!

The girl, Tise, smiled with tears, stood first and walked out.

Looking back at me over and over again.

The sea breeze rocked my black hair comfortably as I stepped off the boulevard and into a narrow alley.
