The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent (WN)

I've been summoned for ten months.

It's been a while since my crusade to the West Forest.

Since then there has been only a little noise around me.

Speaking of which, I have no choice.

Because I have unfortunately demonstrated my ability as [Virgin].

The mysterious magic I activated, in view of the results of the crusade, seemed to be a technique used by the [Virgin], which was more handed down than in ancient times.

By that technique, both the demons and creepy swamps disappeared beautifully.

[The Virgin] activated it with an aggressive reminder of the story that demons would be exterminated by the technique used, but I didn't think it would go as far as the swamp.

As for the swamp, I still don't know the details.

I talked a lot with the division chief in the carriage back to the royal palace, but that's when the swamp thing also went up on the subject.

I'm guessing, but the fact that demons were gushing out of the swamp, and that they disappeared without a trace due to my activated magic, was a story that that swamp was most likely made of rage.

As far as the division chief knows, he's never heard of such a swamp before.

The captain and the division captain were also talking when they discovered the swamp, apparently about the swamp, and both said they had never seen it before.

The captain seems to agree that the swamp is made of rage.

I suppose this would hit the purification of the place that was recorded as the effect of [the Virgin's] technique because it erased such a hardening of temper.

That's what the division chief said.

It wasn't just about the swamp that we talked about in the carriage, of course we talked about the technique used by [the Virgin].

The excitement of the division chief at that time cannot be expressed in words.

The color of my eyes had changed already and I pulled a little on the boulder.

It was just an excitement about being able to see unusual magic, not because I was convinced I was [the Virgin].

I mean, it was always the same, right?

The same was true not only of the division chief, but also of the division chief.

That's why I was just a little optimistic.

Back at the royal palace, as always, nothing will change.

Such fantasies were smashed back from the crusade, about a week later.

When I went from the lab to the library to return the books I had borrowed, I noticed things had changed unexpectedly around me.

For example, if a person walks in from a direction of travel.

The hallways of the Royal Palace are quite wide, and even if people come from the direction of travel, there is no need to avoid them aside.

I think the only thing you need to avoid is when you're about to hit people on the encounter head trying to walk the shortest distance when you turn a corner.

Nonetheless, when I realized, all the different people were avoiding themselves and bowing their heads.

It's like when great people come through.

Sometimes I'm thinking while I'm walking, and I didn't really turn my attention around, but I don't think this has happened before.

When I realized it was something that bothered me, and I began to turn my attention to whether anything else had changed.

When I did that, it wasn't noticeable, but there was a part of me that was different.

For example, when I went to the library to return the book, the clerk on the spot had handled it until now, but from the time the clerks refrained, someone great came and responded?

Sometimes the lecture room has been changed to be a little more luxurious than before.

The clerk who would contact me about the lecture was the same person on the boulder as before, but had a very tense atmosphere when he responded.

That was not just for Mr. Civilian, but also for the Knights and the people of the Court Demon Division.

Yeah, but I wonder if the attitude of the Second Knights people who show up when they go to the library is so much the same as before.

It was like being worshipped from the beginning.

Likewise, the people at the lab.

This one may be due to the fact that many people are only interested in research.

Don't you know the rumors of the crusade itself, or don't you care because even if you do, it has nothing to do with research?

I wish it was the latter.

Something that if it were the former, you might not be treated the same way as before.

"What's up? Blur."

"Ah, Director."

If I was thinking back on the recent changes, they would have made me a little confused.

The director, who saw me with my potion making hands stopped, called out.

What am I supposed to answer?

I have not told the Director that I activated the [Virgin] technique in the crusade.

Because he was so happy that he was safe when he came back, he didn't ask me how the crusade was or anything like that.

Given the state of the royal palace, I feel that the story in this crusade is widespread to a considerable extent.

It won't mean the director doesn't know.

"I thought things had changed a little lately."

"Around?

"Yes. Something seems to have suddenly become a great man. When you go to the royal palace, you're treated strangely and respectfully."

"Uh..."

That's it, he guessed what he wanted to say.

The director's expression changed from a normal smile to a bitter smile.

"Well, now in the royal palace, I'm done with the topic that [the Virgin] 's technique was amazing."

"That's also a set of stories about who used the technique, right?

"Of course."

"I knew..."

"Al tells me about the crusade. Given your accomplishments, there's no choice."

I know the director is right, but I also think you would have liked to have responded with the same attitude as before, if possible.

I think you've had quite a polite response before, and that's good for you.

"Without you, they would have been wiped out on this crusade."

"Perhaps so."

"This isn't the only time I've been helped. The closer he gets to the crime scene, the more I think he'll appreciate you."

"No, no. I'm just doing what I can, and this time I was in danger myself."

"That being said..."

"To be honest, if you appreciate it, I want you to treat me the way you've always been. I'm not used to it..."

"Well, then you'll get used to it"

"I don't want to get used to it."

Even though I blurted, the director just laughed like he was in trouble.

Then I put it down for a beat and the director muttered, "I'm sorry."

When you look right in the face, you look unusual and serious.

I wonder what you're apologizing for?

Is that what this is all about?

I don't think the director needs to apologize for that.

I'm the one who didn't choose the option of saying no when I asked for help.

Tilting his neck, he told me why.

"I'm still grateful to you. So I want your hopes to come true as much as possible."

"Director..."

"But it could get a little harder from now on. You won't be able to do it all. You may not be able to imagine, but that's all that makes [the Virgin] special to us."

I've heard stories for a long time, and sometimes I feel thin, but it still seems that [the Virgin] is special to the people of this country.

I didn't really feel that way because the lab and the Third Knights people would normally treat me, but since I started to relate to the Second Knights people, I've often felt that way.

Above all, I find that all the more so when I look at the attitudes around me that have changed so gallantly these days.

Besides, when I hear it from the director's mouth again, it's unnecessary.

"What makes it harder is that you have to quit the institute?

"As far as I'm concerned, I'm not going to let you quit the institute, but if you're going to take part in a crusade, you're going to spend less time in the institute"

"Right. I've been away for a few days on this crusade."

"The West Forest is still closer. It's going to take longer, because we're going to be driven out on crusades to the provinces in the future."

"Is it a region?

"Ah. The provinces are also largely exhausted because of the massive outbreaks of demons. They've been pleading a lot for me to send the Knights."

"It's not just around Wangdu, is it?"

"That's right. We'll have to see how things go for a while, but when this crusade settles the demons around Wang Capital, we'll go to the region in the future."

Regional.

The story I heard before was that it would take a week each way to the neighboring country.

Probably the shortest time to a neighboring country, so it could take longer depending on the location.

The crusade won't end in a day either.

Probably can't be just one place in the region.

Thinking about it, with round-trip travel time and crusade time, I wonder if it would take a month.

"If I were to go to the province, would I ever leave the Wang capital for more than a month?

"Right."

"Is it a month...... I don't know how often they're going to crusade the provinces, but there's a chance they're hardly going to be able to stay in the lab."

"Well, I'm sure I'll get some time off in the King's Capital, but maybe I will until the province settles down"

That's right.

I can barely stay at the lab, and I don't know how long that will last.

It's opaque when the region will settle down.

In that situation, I don't think I can stay a fellow forever.

I'm sorry that I'm a researcher even though I barely do my job at the lab.

When I think only about my job, I think I should move to the Court Demon Division as well.

Because if you're there, you can say crusading is your job.

But if you want to work, the institute (here) would be nice.

Doing research on potions is fun stuff.

If I had thought about that, he'd have been on his face.

The director sounded worried.

"What's up?

"No, I'd like to be a researcher, but I can barely work at the lab..."

"I'm sorry?

"Yes. After all, we should move to the Court Demon Division or someplace,"

"Isn't that all right?

"Huh?"

"The region has unique local herbs and potions. If you think it's a job to look around like that, you won't have a problem being in the lab."

"Is that okay?

"I'm saying I don't mind. Never mind there."

I narrowed my eyes and laughed, and it looked like the back light was shining from the director who told me so.

If it's a request to be a fellow, he can handle it under the authority of the director.

He even told me that if he brought up a transfer or something up there, I'd do something about it.

Thank you, Director!

So what exactly is my hope that it will be harder to fulfill?

"Ah, that's..."

When I asked him, the director spoke a little spicy.

I'm curious, so I want you to tell me soon.

"You want to spend time as an ordinary person, or what you used to say?

"Right."

"Probably not from now on."

With that said, I recall that you used to be the director of such a story.

They told me I couldn't do it exactly, but I think so, too.

Something I don't think it's possible to get to the boulder and push it through.

"That's it, you can't help it anymore. I'm giving up half of it."

"Half."

"Yes, because I want to live quietly if possible."

"Right. Do what you can to make your hopes come true."

Saying bitterly, he was gently penetrated by the director.

He also told me afterwards that he would do good...

Director, are you sure you're willing to make this happen?

Anyway, it's a joke-like mouthpiece like I meant it, but I believe you'll make it happen!
