The plain and unnoticed me is no more
112 · Rainbow butterfly
When I was taken to the room, I saw the state of the boy who had suffered from Sandra and accidentally lost my words.
A boy who had truly become a bone-skin-only mummy rather than a ratio of Taki and Irina-sama repeated his shallow breath and lay on a simple bed.
Even though she was so weak, her eyes were sparkling and full of vitality. When he noticed me entering the room, he only moved his eyeballs and looked at us.
I told him who I was and made him smile.
"I'm here to help you. My name is Kai of Healer."
"... I... I... I..."
"Don't force me to talk. Believe me, it will get better soon. I'm sorry, but the rest of you have to leave the room. Irina, he must be thirsty, so can you bring him some water?
I wanted to prepare soup if possible, but for the time being, I asked Irina-sama to replenish it as soon as I recovered.
"Ah, yes. We'll be ready soon."
"Don't go in there until you're done."
Pushing the priests staring at the boy worriedly at the door, Irina hurried to fill the water jar, and the others left the room following my instructions.
Irina ran out of breath and immediately returned to her room with drinking water, so I decided to accept it and start purifying Huey.
"He said he was alert to women, so you might be worried, but Irina, please leave the room."
"But... I see. I trust you."
Irina, worried about the boy, grabbed my hand tightly, shook her wet eyes and begged with a crying face. I nodded to Irina and closed the door.
"Phew... now let's start the purification."
I looked back and went to Huey's.
"Giggle...?
"Yes, it's purification, not treatment. Someone is stealing vitality from your body. Disconnect it and take back what was stolen. Now, please calm down with your eyes."
When I smiled slowly, Huey closed his eyes quietly and reassuringly.
Then I put my hands together to pray in front of my chest, closed my eyes and imagined purification in my head.
It glows like a goddess Linatemis, purifying the black fog that stays inside Huey with the force of dazzling light at the same time....! And give Sandra back everything he stole.
I was supposed to close my eyes, but somehow I felt dazzled over my eyelids.
This time, I thought that what I imagined would end only in my head, and that such a phenomenon would not happen in reality, but when I slowly opened my eyes, the phenomenon as I thought it would happen in a narrow room this time.
My body glowed like a goddess and danced like a spiral around me, leaving many sparkling rainbow butterflies shining in gold.
In this purification, I remembered the transformation scene of an anime magical girl I watched in my previous life so that I could easily imagine myself shining specifically. Because I thought of it in my head, I did not transform, but it happened as it is.
With this feeling, I felt a bit like I could really transform into a magical girl.
Unlike Irina's time, I think I've learned something like using the power of the goddess. All you have to do is think of a really concrete image.
When this happens, it is not a coincidence that I have been through the world of the previous life, but maybe it was to foster my imagination.
The phenomenon subsided at the same time as it was purified, and the rainbow butterflies and gold trajectories disappeared, and the room returned to its original dark room.
Looking at Huey, as with Irina, the tension was beginning to return to her blistered and wrinkled face, so that the dry flowers would return to the lush flowers.
"Huey, it's okay. You must be thirsty. Now, drink this water."
I picked up Huey by supporting his upper body and carried the water poured into the glass to his mouth. Then he held the cup with his own hand, which he could not move, and drank it all at once.
After drinking a glass of water, Huey's appearance changed dramatically, and I learned there for the first time that he was a beautiful boy.
The water I poured into the cup in hopes of recovery served as a simple healing medicine, and the Huey I saw returned to its original form.
Then Huey glanced at me as he drank all the water from the water bottle.
"Thank you, you are God."
"Fufu, what are you talking about? That's an exaggeration. The cleansing has been completed successfully, and I would like to show you how well you are."
Huey stopped me when I tried to get the people waiting across the door.
"Don't delude me. Isn't the boy's appearance a temporary form of enduring the world? Or are you the angel who went down to earth on God's behalf...?
"Eh... are you serious? Are you kidding me? Isn't that right?"
Unlike Taki and Irina, he was not asleep while purifying, so he actually looked at me in that dazzling light.
Huey began to talk excitedly about the strange events he saw with his own eyes.
"I'm not kidding. Around you, there was a beautiful rainbow butterfly and a sparkling golden glow. The sight didn't seem very real, and for a moment I thought I was dead and summoned to heaven. [M] But he wasn't dead. The water of life that you've given me from your hands is moisturizing not only my throat, but every corner of my body and returning to its original state. This is a miracle. I can only think of it as God's power."
Huey brightened his eyes and turned to me in anticipation.
The power of God is correct, but I can't explain why I have this power right now. For the time being, I decided to shut this boy up so that he wouldn't say anything else about what he saw during the purification.
"It's really different. I apologize for not being able to answer your expectations, but if you make a strange noise, I will not be able to stay in this country... Please tell Irina, who knows me well, your thoughts, and no one else. You know what that means?
Huey dazzled his eyes and nodded, swallowing his throat and spit. It seems that if I say something extra to someone and make a scene, they told me I was leaving this country.
Then, at Irina's discretion, if he knows the facts, he will explain it properly.
"Ah... that's right. Were you bad at women? Are you afraid of Irina, too?
When I asked, Huey swimmed his eyes with anxiety.
"I'm sorry, I'm not scared, I'm just a woman."
"Disgusting? Weren't you taking care of the Virgin? That would have been tough."
"No, it wasn't from the beginning. Madam Virgin... because she did something lewd to me that she hated, I became disgusted with women."
What? A lewd thing... What did she do to a child like this? Huey certainly has a pretty face like an idol, and has something that makes her feel colorful at the same time as cleanliness, but she's still twelve. Even if there are only four differences in age, you won't still be in love with someone who's a sixth grader in elementary school.
Maybe it was just a bluff, but we should think about who the joke is and then act.
"If you don't mind, can you tell me what you did?
I think it's pathetic to hear something like this and remind you of something you don't like, but I couldn't let it go.
"The Virgin travels naked from bed to bathroom every morning during her bath. I hated to see it, but one day when I was helping with the bath, I left all the others behind. The Virgin is hugging me... I'm sorry, I just remembered and I'm about to throw up again..."
Sexual harassment? What are you doing, Sandra? You suck.
Huey's face was pale and he had tearful eyes, holding his mouth down and enduring something coming up. I put my hand on his back and felt strongly that my nausea would heal.
If possible, I'd like to make sure you don't have any memories of sexual harassment from Sandra.
"I'm sorry to remind you of something you don't like. Let's just forget about that. I don't want all women to think so. Irina must have a sincere, clean heart, right?
"I know. I love Irina too. You know, when I told you, I kind of felt lighter. I haven't been able to tell anyone before, and I've been having a rough time. Not only did I not do what I said at that time, but I threw up completely at the Virgin who approached me... I'm sure that was the cause of the curse."
By revealing to me the thoughts that had been on my chest, Huey seemed to feel a little better. His nausea was completely healed, and he had a clean face.
"Curse? The Temple says it's a saint's curse to have symptoms like yours?
"Hmm... please don't tell me. I don't want my superiors to know we're saying that."
"I wasn't wrong. The cause of your suffering lies in the Virgin. The Virgin was stealing life from you. You won't believe it if you talk to someone who believes in the Virgin, but you do. That's why I taught you."
Hearing my explanation, Huey showed a strange, confused look.
"Um... is Kai really a woman? The words I just spoke... seemed like a woman..."
"Ah... uh, keep this to yourself. Okay, let's go. The witches in the other room must also go to purify themselves. Please don't tell anyone about me except Irina."
I put my index finger around my mouth and posed quietly, smiling at him.
When he opened the door, Irina was there, and the priest stood beside him with a disturbing expression.
"Kai, my nephew... what happened to Huey?
"Please, you can go inside now. I'll make soup to restore my health later, so if I eat it, I'll be really well again."
I left the room to intercede with the priest, and with Irina's guidance, I went to the women's room. When they entered the room, they were incredibly weak and unconscious. I cleansed them in the presence of Irina, imagining the same thing as before.
Irina seemed quite surprised to see me purify for the first time.
I cleansed three people at a time, but I wasn't surprised and tired, and I didn't fall down like before. I'm sure this is thanks to the protection of the Goddess.
Then I borrowed the kitchen to make a lot of soup and entrusted it to Irina to leave the church. But there, the chief of the priesthood came after him and stopped him.
I failed to sneak out again. Anyway, they'll be talking about the reward again.
"Khai, are you leaving without charging us? Feel free to charge as much as you want. I am indelibly grateful to you. Thank you for helping your dear nephew. The witches are very grateful."
After all, I sighed and shook my neck sideways, thinking that was it.
"I didn't want the money."
"But then we're sorry!
As with the priest, I thought he wouldn't back off, so I decided to use his position as a priest here.
"... then there is something you need to do right away."
"Say anything. I'll do anything I can."
"It's not difficult, but it can only be done from the position of a priest. Now, let's move the place and talk more about it."
