Middle-aged Adventurer Kein’s Good Deed

The first thing Kane started when he returned to his hometown was cleaning the Temple of Altena in the village of Kuko.

There have been a lot of Altena temples in this area, so if you're just praying, you may not need to stick to this temple.

Still, for Kane, this was still the most important place.

Altena's soul feels that way sleeping here.

"Thank goodness everyone in the village is in good hands"

It's been a long time since I've been back, so I've been stuck out and come from before dawn at night, but it's so beautiful that there's no tension.

Clean it up quickly with the provided bamboo, and it will soon go out of hand.

When I tried to enter the temple to pray even for everyone's safety, the Virgin Sephilia came.

"Hey, did the Virgin come too?"

"... Dear Kane"

That way, Kane thinks.

Sephilia is a little musty, to the point where she can't tell without careful observation.

It's been about a year since we dated, so Kane can see that kind of subtle reaction.

"Eh, I guess I did something to touch you"

"Name…"

"Oh well. Sorry. Sephilia."

"... sephilia"

"No, thank you. I'm not used to calling you out."

……

Sephilia is a high esteemed Virgin in the Audia Church.

He still treats Kane's mother's replacement, Sister Sylvia, and more politely.

I'm looking at that, so I'm very reluctant.

"Sephilia."

"Yes!"

Kane, who lost silent pressure, jumped happily, satisfied when he called his name.

Kane gently hugged Sephilia and thought it was a compliment.

"I guess I've grown a little bit taller"

"Really?"

Kane is a little surprised as Sephilia's head is positioned around her shoulders.

Sephilia, her age wanting to stretch her back, pressed her face against Kane's shoulder if that's what she was glad to hear.

The old man's year hardly changes, but a year of adolescence is something that grows astonishingly.

If you think you're a child forever, you might get run over one of these days.

"Shall I come?"

"Yes."

Pushing back bitterly on Sephilia's shoulder, who would never leave, the two of us decided to come.

Cephilia, the Virgin, of course, carefully meditates and joins hands with Kane, who hasn't worshipped in a long time.

Doing this, Kane feels Altena nearby.

Even if I don't see him and I don't hear him, I do feel like he's watching over me there.

I guess that's why Kane couldn't leave the land.

Things that I used to think were blurry have become clear these days.

"Don't you miss Kane?"

Kane smiles like she's in trouble.

I can't say anything because when it comes to not being lonely, it makes me lie.

"I can call Master Altena."

Kane shrugged her shoulders at Sephilia, who said so with all her strength in her bright eyes.

"Thank you. I'm glad Sephilia feels like it, but neither me nor Altena would want to see you at the expense of someone else."

"That's what I want."

"I'm glad to hear that."

"Chi, no. Oh, no!

Kane calms down Sephilia, who tides her white cheeks and flushes her hands.

Looks like I have something to say.

"It's okay. I'll listen to you. Talk slowly."

We still have a little time before the day starts.

Sometimes it would be nice for the two of us to talk slowly, sitting on the temple bench.

"I, Lord Kane here, have saved my life."

"Mr. Anastrea would have found the Resurrection Fruit without my help."

"I'm not talking about Anna!

They pissed me off.

Hi. Sephilia has been having some emotional instability lately.

"No, but if you say thank you,"

"It's not, and if Master Kane doesn't want it, Master Altena can't get him down. Why can't I?"

Sephilia wept in her eyes and reached Kane's knee.

"Uh... not like no or anything"

He ruffled his breath and stroked Sephilia's hair, which seemed excited, to calm him down.

Sephilia asks Kane after breathing for a while.

"… does Master Kane need me, even if I don't call Master Altena"

"Of course I am."

Apparently, Sephilia assumed that she didn't think her presence was worth it unless she called Altena.

Sephilia sometimes comes up with herself and runs wild.

Recently, Kane was horrified to find out what was causing her anxiety.

"If you don't have Sephilia, I'm in trouble."

Kane says gently to reassure her as she strokes Sephilia's soft blonde hair.

After doing so for a while, I rinse my nose up dull and Sephilia wakes up her torso.

"Guzu...... then, I get it. Dear Kane,"

"Yeah."

"We may be able to bring Artena back to life."

"Really?"

If I could do that, I'd appreciate it more than anything.

"Yes, if you ask the Lord God Audia, now maybe..."

The divine power of the Lord God Audia might be able to do so, said Ludo, the spiritual god to whom the elves worship.

And Sephilia is also the Virgin, who alone receives the protection of Audia, the Lord God.

Sephilia says that Artena has stopped showing up these days because she may be accumulating strength for the resurrection.

If Kane's good deeds stacked up like this, he said, he eventually felt that prayer would reach heaven as well.

"The power of Artena is the faith gathered and the good deeds of Kane"

"Well, I'll have to try harder to revive Altena, too. Can Sephilia help us too?"

Standing off the bench, Sephilia lays her hands on Kane, who reached out.

"Yes!"

"Eh, so if you say good deeds, what am I supposed to do around here?"

Sephilia answered with a full grin as she wrapped Kane's hands around her with both hands, pressing her against her abundant chest.

"Master Kane, if you do as usual, I think it would be good!

"Oh, well."

It was Kane who made me stick it out at what time, but I clapped it out wondering if there was anything like a dramatic God's test.

Sephilia says good deeds are not flashy, but a pile of days.

I'd feel that way if they told me that, and Kane laughs at me wondering if I look more like you.

Then, as usual, I decided to let the kids have breakfast before heading out to pick up the herbs.
