Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 276: The Long Tale of Priest Serio

Priest Serio speaks.

"At first, there was also the awareness that it was not out of the mainstream of birth. If it was when I was encouraging teaching under Priest Nicolo, my colleagues were just brilliant beyond me, and I worked hard to beat those people."

As you can see from Michelino's Auxiliary Festival, there are many talented young men under the Nicolo Priest, and there is fierce competition for their birth.

Priest Cerio would also have shredded his fishes with his distinguished colleagues among them.

In that, how did it feel to be assigned to a church in the 3rd class neighborhood, but also to deal with the adventurers, away from Priest Nicolo and his colleagues?

"Ever since I went to this church, I've been confused. Anyway, I haven't touched the city well life in a long time. I was reminded that I had dealt with a variety of people in this church, and that I had only dealt with a very small part of the priesthood."

With a slight bitterness, Priest Serio makes his own ignorance laugh and talk.

"Life in this church is completely different from before. You can feel in your skin how life is directly linked to the Book of God, which was becoming difficult to see within the larger church organization."

Indeed, there would be many opportunities to speak directly to the citizens if they were in this small church.

There should be a lot of times when you actually have to move your hands and body to get involved in running the church.

Until then, working for Priest Nicolo, so to speak, as a bureaucrat, is like becoming the owner of an SME.

There would have been confusion as to the magnitude of that gap, but the flexibility and vessels of the spirit that merely captured it in a good direction seemed to be in Priest Serio.

"I was ashamed to think that I was the adventurers, the people who took weapons because of the difficulties of unschooled peasants eating."

Priest Serio's, that recognition is not wrong. Many of the citizens of this city, rather than the prejudices of the clergy, would think so.

In fact, I have a different history from the peasants in this world, but I had trouble eating and took my weapon and became an adventurer, and Sarah, in a broad sense, I'd say that's its mouth.

"In fact, the adventurers are putting their bodies up and risking their lives to expand the human realm. It's for the money, and you might be inclined to scorn it. But what's wrong with that? Because priests like us, in a broad sense, devote themselves to the Church in order to obtain food for life."

Was there any incentive for Priest Serio to think so?

In response to my enquiring gaze, Priest Serio told me about the trigger.

"The first adventurer I treated was a young man named Abel. Unfortunately, you met with the monster while exploring the cave, slipped your leg in the middle of a cut, and you suffered a wound. So my right arm stopped moving. He came to the church to treat the adventurer, hoping that he could at least return to the village so that the fields could cultivate."

It's a common story. If you're an adventurer, there are bad moments.

And if an unlucky moment comes in the middle of a fight, the adventurer dies.

Fortunately, the luck of a young man named Abel didn't seem to suck, but if it stayed that way, the future would have been dark.

I can't say I'm an adventurer, such as a weaponless adventurer, so I have to retire.

But the magic treatment in the church changed its fate.

"He said that treatment with the magic an adventurer receives was something that a first-rate adventurer and one with connections to the clergy would personally receive, so he said that being an adventurer about Abel, even if he had some arms, he couldn't reach it. Anyway, with my sorcery treatment, Abel can now return to being an adventurer. I will never forget the voice and gratitude I played for his joy."

After explaining so, Priest Serio closed his eyes to remind him of something.

Within his closed eyelids, is the sight of that time regenerating?

"Until then, it was hard to believe that the church would treat adventurers, or few visitors, but since Abel's treatment, rumors have spread, and every day is very busy."

That's what I said and laughed.

"Fortunately, I hear Abel is still doing fine as an adventurer. But being an adventurer is a really harsh way to live. Every month, many die. That's how I think the Church should do everything in its power for those who fight for their lives. That's why I want to work with you."

That's how Priest Serio finished his long story.
