I’m a NEET but When I Went to Hello Work I Got Taken to Another World (LN)
Episode 266: Healing and the Movement of Monsters
"What did you do?"
The shrine maiden who seemed to be somewhere terrified said as she opened her eyes.
"Don't tell me. If you want to be my friend, I can tell you." Yeah, if you're worried about the price. I don't think I'm going to use a curse after hearing that much, and I didn't intend to use it again from the beginning. "
There was something that the Shrine Maiden who had been entrusted with was hiding. The first time and the third time the curse was forbidden, they told me the price, but they didn't tell me what to do with the treatment.
She seemed to agree with me and nodded.
"I had to thank you first." I thought I would never see reality again. Thank you very much. ”
Poor life. Sick childhood. If you think it's healed, you lose your right hand, you lose your light, and you can continue to make sacrifices. It's too unfortunate.
"I've been living in the dark for a year and I'm getting used to it." Now you have to get used to the light. ”
With that said, I could see the magical light that illuminated the room glitteringly and happily.
“How long has your vision been restored?”
“It looks just like it used to.”
He was heavier than Sati, almost completely blind. I was lucky enough to see more or less of it.
“Let me tell you something. You can turn it on and off on your own.”
Hearing my words, she shouted in amazement. It's an easy skill to use just by being aware of it, but if you don't teach it and it cuts into a beat, you may panic.
"Strange... so strange..."
It is not healed. My eyes are almost invisible, but I can see properly. It would be strange if there was no explanation that it was indeed such a skill. However, it was still too early to explain my skills. I don't want Rosa's guards listening to me if they can. The information that blessing still gives me skills is still top secret.
But this time, he said he would treat it rather roughly. In the first place, there was a good chance that Ann, Ellie, and Tilica were questioning their abilities. I was going to find out about the blessing somewhere. I have no regrets for using it.
If the goddess was a little happy, that was fine. That's why I told her not to use the curse instead of being my ally.
"If you have such power..."
One of the guards muttered so.
"Unfortunately, there is no price for this, but the conditions for its use are very strict." For example, if you bring someone blind or dying, I can't do anything but heal you. "
Is there a condition to use it like a curse?
If so, he nods to the escort.
"It would have been convenient if it had been easier to use." Aeon was lucky. "
But is that really the case? It is said that it was a year ago that I lost my sight. It was just when I came to the Otherworld. Ito-jin predicts the future or not. I can tell 20 years from now. You will know what to make of the encounter a year later.
This encounter is destiny. If it was a definite event, did you lose your sight so that the hawk's eyes would fit perfectly in the price? There seems to be a lot of it.
"Oh, I want you to leave this alone." A great man in the temple might have a strange idea if he could use such a curse-busting power? This is an apostolic request. Please don't tell anyone. I know it, but I can't use it. That kind of thing can only be a source of trouble. "
I carefully pierced the nail. I'm not sure how far I can mislead, but it makes sense to keep more information than I need.
I can't help bothering you much more than I've done. Maybe more than that, but I wonder if my right hand will do something about it. For example, with physical strengthening. You want to give it a try? But even after we talked a little longer, I got in the way where I thought I was.
Someone was transferring to the center of the room.
"Ellie, have you come to see how you're doing?"
And Miriam, the guard. If you need any help at the same time to see how it goes. That's how it is.
"Yeah, there's that, too... where are you guys?"
"This person....."
The shrine maiden who had been asked to introduce her stood up and lowered her head.
It's Ionitis, Master Elizabeth.
"The shrine maiden..."
I asked for help from the kingdom because I didn't have enough help to treat them.
I was right to capture the gate in the first place.
"With a slight effort, I will be able to help the saintly lady."
"Look, there was a time when the suspension order was withdrawn at the time of the fundraising, right? That's what our Aeon did."
Ellie opened her eyes wide in my words. Along with Ann, Ellie was the main fundraiser.
"Thank you for taking care of that verse." Thanks to you, there was no sideways spear and things went very smoothly after that. "
"No, it's because the Saintess wants to save the people of Hiragis." What I did was trivial. ”
I really wanted to help you locally. That's what I said. Was that just the opposite? From the edge of the Empire to the edge when traveling normally. It depends on how you get around, but if you're not good at it, it's about a month each way.
But I wonder what would have happened if I had come. Were you sheltered while working in the Hiragis camp? However, what happened to Luciana, Miriam, and Charlenesia, who had been given patronage since then? Well, I guess I can't help thinking about it.
"Well, that's it." I just got a quick call from Masaru. "
That's right, Ellie cut out the greeting to the shrine maiden, and rudely moved to the corner of the room, thrusting Ellie into her face.
"I'm having trouble with the hydrangeas." There's movement in the monsters. "
I frowned at Ellie's words. Better yet, at this time.
"Will and Charlenesia were hunting all the time, weren't they? But even if you hunt or hunt, there seems to be a monster coming from somewhere, and today it seems that you have expanded the scope of your search."
Will has a detector. It was flying around quite a range with the Elves. It's impossible to miss it. Of course, the soldiers and adventurers of Hiragis were actively hunting the remnants of the monsters. Despite that, the number of monsters didn't decrease.
Witchcraft?
Ellie nods. All the monsters in Hiragis are about to disappear. Even so, if there was no decrease, it could only be thought that there was a new influx from the demonic realm outside Hiragis.
Will and the others scouted lightly to find the monsters on the demonic side. Go back once and talk to Ellie and the others. It seemed that a full-scale reconnaissance was carried out after the sun went down, so that Ellie could not stimulate the monsters.
"We found the monster immediately."
There were many monsters in the lineup that I had burned down in Meteo.
How many are there?
"I wonder if I could destroy the leopard one more time."
The reconnaissance was carried out at both the Northern Fort and the Eastern Fort, and monsters were recognized by both sides. And since they weren't fighting in the fort, they seemed to be breaking in from the mountains, avoiding the fort.
Will said that a small part of the whole, maybe 10 percent or less, was left without retreating.
It was a guess, but Ellie said it was probably a monster that was detached from the herd. I was destroyed in Meteo. If the Commander falls and only his men survive, the monster will fall apart.
The absence of a commander or herd leader will naturally disregard any retreat orders. Or the order didn't arrive, or he was left alone.
There must have been a six-month truce. But it's useless to say so. I didn't know when I told you to take the remnants back to Hiragis, but it was a hassle. I didn't know where the Dark Elves were even if I wanted to complain.
Are you going to attack me?
I don't know, but I don't know what's going on right away.
It was not difficult to deal with it as soon as you broke into the fort. Now the Elves are stationed, and even large species that can destroy the walls can be defeated without any problems. Nowadays, it is coming through the mountains, but if it is a mountainous area with no roads, the large army cannot move, and even the small number of people traveling by hand are terribly time-consuming. In fact, it was impossible to move a large army through the mountains in such a way as to destroy the hyrax.
"I think..."
However, if you eat or don't eat for about two or three days, and half are prepared to fall off, there's nothing you can't do, says Ellie. But there is no way we can make such a massive and unscrupulous march without a commander.
However, a new leader of the herd might decide to gather monsters and attack the eagle. Or maybe there's an easy route into the mountains.
"It would be easier if you came once."
It's a problem that little by little, we don't know where it's coming from for a long time.
The border of Hiragis is long. It was impossible to monitor everything, and every time a monster came, I was turning my back and tapping it. It would be a huge burden for even the nationally deficient Hiraghis.
What should I do?
It's not an emergency, is it?
Yeah, I've increased my recon, so if there's a massive movement, I should be able to spot it immediately.
The Hiragis authorities have been contacted. There's Lilia over there, so if there's anything you need to know, it's on your way.
Well then, let's talk about this again tomorrow.
What would you do with a six-month truce with the Dark Elves? Well, I have no choice but to strike, but I have to consider a little, and I have to think about the timing of the operation and the personnel to be deployed. If the monster didn't move, I could use a little surveillance.
More than that, a pinch is a chance. A large group of monsters is a unique opportunity to earn experience points. A new patron is right around the corner.
Speaking of which, Ellie, you said you wanted more friends.
Having said that, I glanced at the shrine maiden who was quietly waiting for me.
Huh!? Is that possible?
You probably knew who you were talking about right away. Ellie whispered all the more. Is there a blessing because it seems like it will work? Well, it's a consultation for tomorrow, including around that.
But Ellie showed up as soon as she said she wanted a friend. Something similar happened before. Is this a first-class Flag Architect or an unconscious Predictor?
"It feels good. It's very cooperative."
The question is whether you have a boyfriend or not. Shouldn't it be time to start probing?
No, no, of course I won't deny it, but that's not all. I don't have any problem with having a boyfriend or husband. Will is one of us. You just need to think about the distance, whether it's free or not. Even though I have a boyfriend or something, it would be bad if I got closer than necessary and misunderstood or my friends got twisted, so it seems absolutely necessary to confirm before deepening the interaction.
But how do we cut it out? You want to ask me about the family structure? Oh, oniisama was the Emperor. No, I'm scared.
I finished talking to Ellie and went back to the shrine maiden. Stop asking yourself, and we'll sneak up on the temple director and ask him later. I'm sure you know. You know that.
"The news is that there was a monster movement in Hiragis...."
Scratch the story from Ellie and explain. It was a story that the monster of Hiragis might also be related to the goddess. You should know that.
"In the unlikely event that this happens, let's promise you support from the kingdom of God." Of course, I can rely on the transfer of Masal-sama.... "
The maiden who had finished listening to the story told me.
“Thank you so much for your help.”
I asked the shrine maiden who had been entrusted with the task of destroying the monsters.
But when that happens, we need you to be one of us as soon as possible. How much can you trust the escort and Rosa to tell you a more insightful story?
However, when I tried to think, I got in the way again.
Would you mind a little bit?
It was the temple director who entered the room. I wanted to talk to the temple chief, but I couldn't do it in front of the shrine maiden.
"Actually, there are quite a few people who want to be treated..."
Well then, I'll do it.
Stand up and say, the magic is healing a lot.
"No, it's not here." They were outside the walls of the Imperial Capital. "
"Wouldn't it be nice if you came here?"
But the temple chief shook his head.
"Those people can't enter the Imperial City." Outside the walls, the slum dwellers. "
The temple director immediately answered the question of why we couldn't enter the favela, the slum.
"Many slum dwellers can't afford to enter the Imperial City because they don't have the money." And even if you pay, entry is forbidden by security. ”
Outside the walls of the giant Imperial City, the favela is said to be the nest of criminals. A place where those who committed crimes in the Imperial Capital Empire flee or think about them. That's the favela outside the wall.
"Of course, a very small number of slum dwellers are criminals." But there are quite a few of them, and the problem is that they tolerate such criminals and reject the soldiers, the bogus and the gurus. ”
Therefore, if you know the inhabitants of the slums, it seems that the guards of the castle gate will know by looking at their appearance, but they will refuse to enter.
This time, of course, it was not possible to say that it was for treatment. For the Imperial Guard, all the residents of the favela are either criminals or their allies. Dozens or even a hundred or more of them? I'm not kidding.
It seems that the representative was sent to ask for the treatment of the Holy Maiden.
“How many people are seeking treatment?”
"I don't know. They say there are about 50 of them, but there are 10,000 or more slum dwellers." Honestly, no one knows. ”
And slums are particularly poor in terms of environment and sanitation. The impact of the water problem should also be noticeable. I wouldn't be surprised if the patient was a thousand people. That's what the temple director said.
“Most people are just good people who can't get out of a slum because they can't help it.”
That's why I want to save those who can, but I can't help them. The inhabitants themselves refused to give alms in the temple.
Will the Empire not deal with it?
"It's the status quo that says evil is necessary."
It seems to be a receptacle for jobs that ordinary people don't want to do, that are dangerous or dirty.
"Of course, I haven't kept my hands together all this time."
Sometimes they tried to exterminate the slums, but it just got worse. Even after the successful destruction of slums, the crime in the Imperial Capital and surrounding villages increased sharply and became vicious. In a year or two, new slums were created, and as a result, there was only resentment that there were a large number of dead people on both sides.
Therefore, if you leave it alone, the slums will grow rapidly and you will be unable to reach out extra.
“What should I do?”
“Of course I'll treat you. I won't divide the saints."
Anne would definitely do it. Tomorrow. No, I don't want Anne in the favela. I'll do it. I could afford a lot of magic power now. There was also the case of Hiragis. If the monster moves, it shouldn't be healing anymore, and you should get rid of it quickly.
"I'll go now." I need you to show him to his representative. "
"From now on, it's the night slum!" It's too dangerous! "
Well, it's definitely dangerous at night in a place with no security.....
Is that more dangerous than sitting alone in a castle in the Imperial City or facing a large army of tens of thousands of monsters?
"No... that's true."
"Then I'll be fine." Don't worry about it. ”
Well, I don't want to get caught in the beat of something, or fall as a paralyzing poison, so the world won't be caught off guard, and I'm not going to be caught off guard.
Well then, let me join you.
The shrine maiden who had been entrusted with it also spoke out.
No, it's a little dangerous, isn't it?
If I send my gaze to the guards behind me, I'll shake my head faintly. Can't you stop it? Even if you stop, you won't listen to me.....
Masaru-sama is strong, isn't she?
"Yes," Sati nodded vigorously.
"There is no one in this world who can beat Masaru."
I don't know about that, but the world's strongest swordsman, who seems to be able to beat me, still stands as my escort, sits down in the corner of the room and watches the situation happily.
Well, that's reassuring, isn't it?
Well, let's just be friends. There's nothing you can do about it, even if you're in some danger.
"So... what happened to the eye treatment?"
The temple director hesitated to ask. That's right. That's why I brought you all the way to this room.
"The treatment... hasn't succeeded, has it?"
I don't think I'm doing the usual treatment. I wish I had tried healing magic first.
When I said that, the temple head nodded with relief. I told you he didn't know the details of the curse ban. There were other members of the board of inquiry, and maybe they were hiding it.
Well, it looks like it's starting to look good at first.
Will this be the official view? The treatment has not been successful, or it has not been done in the first place. But it became visible. It's more of a sight enhancement than a treatment.
"What the hell is that..."
“It's something you shouldn't know. Master Florence will understand, won't you?"
A curse ban or something close to it. If you think so. I thought so, but both of them are activated by the blessing of God. Is it actually something similar?
And from what you know about cursing, from what you know about the price, you can only say that it was abnormal, and if I say that it is cursing or something like that, you will have to open your mouth. There are not many who know the forbidden spell, and there will be very few who know the price.
Unexpectedly, why didn't you find out? I wish I hadn't found out. With that in mind, I began to travel a lot to heal the slums.
