Episode 65: Copper Adventurer Lent and Reasons for Request

"Once again, I'm in a hurry..."

When I said that, Alize, the orphanage daughter, nodded and started talking about the request.

"Right. Even so, it's not that detailed. It's exactly what the request says."

"The Sauce of Ryuketsuka,"

"Exactly. Please, can you do that?

"Well, I don't know what to do. I'm not going to say anything. but... you know what I mean? That's not what it looks like around here. Can you at least let Riyuku do it?"

To my words, Alize,

"It's..."

And he looked a little hard to say.

There's something going on, I guess.

But waiting in no hurry, Alize said,

"... right. Right. I know I'm not convinced. Could you give me a minute?

…… Oh. "

Whether you intend to talk or not.

That's what Alize says and gets up and leaves the room.

Then a little bit, Alize came back,

"Come here. Because I'll show you why."

I said and invited him, so I follow it.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Alize then walked a little down the hall and stopped in front of one room.

So I knocked on the door twice,

"... it's Alize"

and speaking towards the inside,

"Come in."

I heard a plundered woman say.

Alize nodded at it,

"Excuse me."

I say, open the door and go inside.

He urged me to go in, so I followed him again.

The room is simple, with a smaller bookcase and desk and one bed.

There was one middle-aged woman lying on the bed, but when she saw us, she just got up on her upper body and talked to me.

"Nice to meet you. This time, she took a request about organizing the orphanage basement...... I really appreciate the reward as well as the sparrow tears. I manage this orphanage, my name is Lillian June and I am an Eastern Catholic monk. Please, thank you."

I tilted my neck for a moment at the content, but Alize looked me in the eye and said, "Please, shut up," so I started introducing myself without going into it.

"Oh... I'm Kaki-kun's, Len and Bibi," he said. I don't know... well, sometimes. It's not bad... "

In fact, there are parts of me that I take because I feel like it.

It's personal freedom not to take it, and I work more than I have, that's what I call an adventurer.

And the client and the adventurer are also always reciprocal.

The client doesn't have to be particularly weak.

"That would help...... there are little things in the basement of the orphanage, but there are demons too, so I couldn't leave them to the kids. I have some fighting minds if I'm well, so I can handle it, but now..."

I don't know what to say, but I didn't think that was possible for Lillian in a slightly fuzzy shape in the middle of the forty, but it's clear from what Alize says nothing in particular that seems to be true.

Well, monks and clerics are also one profession that possesses special combat skills besides adventurers.

Sometimes Holy Qi, they can exercise it, and then it doesn't matter what shape they're in.

With the purifying power of the Sacred Qi, it is even possible to burn down a narrow range of demons.

Compared to that, the power of my holy temper is still weak, but, well, it's not like I've devoted my faith wholeheartedly to God or anything, so there's no other way to make that difference.

I also found out at the blacksmith that it produces powerful effects depending on how you use it, and it doesn't matter.

By the way, as a sacred version of the demonic fusion technique, I tried the fusion of sacred chi with magic, or with chi, but I had in fact failed on this.

Holy Qi and Magic are far more revolting than they are when they are, and in the case of Holy Qi and Magic, both forces are focused and released on the spot at the same time.

I thought it might not be compatible, but with the subtle result that it was definitely not a feeling of being able to do it, it feels like this might require practice or some special idea.

Well, that's okay.

Anyway, Lillian has the skills to fight, but now he can't.

She doesn't seem to be feeling well, I ask, curious.

"... because it's not good?

"Yeah... hello, I haven't been able to help myself lately. But my body is originally sturdy. If you rest a little, you'll be able to get back to work soon. So in the meantime, thank you."

I was worried about what to say, but as far as Alize's face was concerned, it was like saying something good.

"... well, all you can do, you already want to. You can't get too upset either. Yes, it's time..."

"Right. Okay, Master Lillian. We need to talk more about the request…"

When Alize said so, Lillian nodded,

"Yeah. Alize, I'm so glad you're here. And Mr. Lent... this child knows next to me about this orphanage, so ask this child if you need anything"

That's what I said.

I nod at it and back off the room.

Alize did the same, closing the door...... then,

"... I have a lot to ask you."

When I say that, Alize,

"I'll be back in my old room for now."

That's what I said and started walking again.

I guess that means talking here makes me sound like Lillian, then I'm in trouble.

That's what I thought. I'm gonna keep my mouth shut with Alize.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... so?

It was just one word, but that's all it conveyed to Alize.

That would be so.

Because she was the one who was directing me to cloud in that place.

Alize is

"I'm sorry for all the extra care. There's a reason..."

That's what I came to apologize for.

If you honestly say that, you have to tolerate it even as far as I'm concerned.

It's not like I want to ask you anything.

But you have to ask why you had to have such a delicate conversation.

As I waited for Alize's words, she opened her mouth.

"You know Master Lillian's not well, right? I'm not aware of him, but he's sick."

"... I see"

That's it, I think I got the whole story.

but maybe that guess is wrong, so I'll just keep asking.

Alize continues.

"I also got a healer to look at... that disease. I can't cure magic. Unless you're sanctimonious with the help of a healing system..."

"I may not be able to say this, but how dare you?

When I said that, Alize laughed, pointed at me, and said:

"I mean, things like you are in a lot of places. He said he didn't want the money. If it's for Lillian. That's how he looked at me."

I see, I think.

Lillian is an orphanage administrator and an Eastern Catholic monk at the same time.

Maybe some of them were saved by her.

That could have simply been helped by that combat skill.

If you're well, you can fight demons, too.

"Anyway, that's why, unless you're a Virgin or a Saint, you need medicine to cure Lillian's illness. The Virgin was here a while ago, but she was still fine then..."

You came here once when I wasn't immortal.

If I come... will I be purified?

When you think about that time when you're feeling better just watching, there's no chance you can just get close enough to make it disappear.

You must be careful who you are, I think.

"How's that tickle, Rikki?"

"Yeah, that's right. The surgeon said the surgeon would hit the hand. They said they were going to pay for the technology, but they didn't want it."

I'm sure the healer is going to pay for it.

Well, that's what happens.

I guess it's a situation where kindness is circling for the good of the person.

"Well, then, okay. By the way, where's Big Moose?

"They call it" evil accumulation. "Someone who can use holy chi, sounds like a peculiar disease. If I'm not so strong about the sacred spirit I have, it's like I take the evil mind into my body as a recoil every time I use it. So, gradually, my body gets sick. It's just that Dragon Blood Flower has the effect of relieving the evil."
