The "delivery" request to Wang Du ended with nothing in particular. The Wang Capital Adventurer Guild was idle, but that was due to the fact that high-ranking adventurers were being summoned to the Royal Castle by this civil war and the economy was getting worse and the economy was not turning.

And Lavia and Paula both rarely went up to Rank F.

"Hmm...... why don't we stay one night somewhere today and go back to Pound tomorrow"

"The renter! Hikaru, I want to go to the rental shop."

Says Lavia with a rough nose.

Last time he came to Wang Capital, Lavia borrowed a book from a renter and read it, but apparently some books he couldn't read through, although he was interested.

"Well, then, as Lavia goes to the rental shop,"

"I'm at the hotel, so Hikaru can go out with Paula."

"Yeah, yeah, but what do we do, Paula?

"Huh? Me, is it..."

Try to think about it for a second, then...

"... can I look around by myself, please?

offered.

Paula offered to act alone, for one thing, for Hikaru and Lavia. I know very well that you two are lovers to each other. But since Hikaru returned from his "expedition" to the fortress city of Leather Elka, I haven't had the time for two. Even at night, Hikaru slept in a private room and Lavia and Paula were in the same room.

In fact, at night, Hikaru was Hikaru and gathering information all over Pound. Depending on how the civil war falls, there could be no effort to keep Pound from becoming a sea of fire. I was just saying that the private rooms were more convenient to get in and out of.

But Paula didn't take it that way.

(He's got me worried...)

I thought so, and I wanted you two to spend some time alone —— Hikaru, though, said he'd take Lavia to the inn after stopping by the rental shop --.

"Where's Hikaru going?

"Mm, we got information that Pond couldn't collect, right? It would be more peaceful to have Kujastria win well later, so I come to grip with the weaknesses of the obedient nobles and the rich"

"Yes. Come on in."

"Yeah."

—— and I went out alone.

"But where shall we go"

Paula, a poor adventurer from Cold Village, was also the first to come to King's Capital. The Wang capital has a royal castle in its center, surrounded by a first settlement and a second settlement outside it.

The lodging Hikaru took was a first settlement, so it was a good lodging there, and it was safe. But because of his lack of knowledge around it, Paula kept walking and, realizing it, was coming to the second settlement.

It doesn't mean it's insecure as soon as it becomes a second settlement. It's like a bustling downtown area for many.

Paula, who was getting some money from Hikaru, spent her time buying and eating at the stalls and entering grocery stores and clothes stores.

(Wang du... wow!

At first he was walking around out of exhilaration, but as the sun passed south and nearly inclined -- tired.

"Ugh."

More than that, I was drunk. to people. People running, flying business words, running carriages and dust —— Paula walked to the unpopular, and finally took a breath when she entered the small church.

"Hmm —— I thought I'd use healing magic"

I thought about that, but I stopped. The reason was "I should only use it when Hikaru allows it..."

It was so small in the church. There was a faculty, only a sparse round chair in which the faithful sat, and the chair was also in a poor shape.

And the trees of the floor, and the hearts of the faithful cannot be said to be serious.

"... but I wonder if it's bigger than my parents'..."

The church in Cold Village, where Paula was born and raised, was even more of a borough building than this. Still, the priest who keeps the church, Paula's father, polished shingly every day. I remember the walls and floors being strangely teddy because of it.

(I miss you...... Father, I wonder how you're doing)

Half the time I ran away from home. Two Piers and Priscilla, plus a total of four people who write "youth" in the neighboring village and read "idiot," party together, there's nothing they can do about it when they get hurt. That's why I have to stick to it —— it was before the building.

The real thing is, "I might have a nice encounter, like in the story, too! Although."

As a result, I met a boy that wasn't even in the story. Hikaru's ability —— Paula's ability to dramatically improve her healing magic may also be described as God's work. At least, it's a force I've never seen in Paula's known stories and myths.

(... I can't heal Pier or Priscilla's wounds anymore, but I'll send the money to the village properly...)

Paula occasionally writes to her hometown father, believing that Pia and Priscilla should have returned to her hometown village. I'll transfer the money to Priscilla's guild account, so tell her I want her to use it. I haven't replied yet because I haven't told them where I am because my address isn't stable. Even if Priscilla hasn't gone home yet, she wouldn't have to worry about wasting it, and you'll notice who's transferring it.

So the money that was given to Hikaru today was also meant to be spent half and half remitted. I need to use it at all. I thought that would make Hikaru sorry, and Hikaru seemed to give me more money after finding out that Paula was sending money again.

"If Hikaru is too kind..."

Paula, who was happy and twisted with the care, seemed to wake up from being completely drunk.

and there,

"So, someone!

The church door was opened and a man in thin clothes came in to say it was this cold time. The thickness of the chest plate and sharp eyesight, but the head with gray hair seems to be going there of age.

Paula was frightened, but noticed the girl in his arms.

It's neat. Even though his hands are as bright as white fish, his face is bright red.

"I'm looking for a priest! Hey!?"

Looks like an emergency.

Paula finds out. Although this church is slightly rough, there must be a priest who manages it. But no one's seen Paula since she came in. Are you going to the temple? Still, it's odd that there's not even one of the nuns.

Wake up to "restorative magic" after a long time in church. In other words, the church has a role like a "treatment center".

Of course, the recovery specialist is a "treatment center", but the "treatment center" also has the image of a major injury specialist, and if there is a church nearby, it is common for people to come to church.

"Uh, uh, wow, I don't know"

"Then you can do it! Can't you use healing magic!? Something's wrong with my daughter!!"

A man comes slightly. The closer I look, the worse the girl is. My breath is rough and I have a mix of Hugh and nasty noises in my breath.

Recovery magic can be used in a wide variety of ways, such as "treating wounds," "treating diseases," "treating poisons," and "cursing". Paula could only do the initial "wound healing," and that's all she knew about chanting. Still, during monster abnormal reproduction in the Un el Portan Great Forest, I treated heavy-duty patients. It gave birth to lost arms and also healed petrification, a symptom of the curse.

Since then, Paula has studied other restorative magic chants on her own. The treatment of the illness should also be possible for me now.

"... sorry. I can't use healing magic."

When I told him to squeeze it out, the man looked desperate.

"What am I supposed to do... Oh, Fran..."

"Um, why don't you go to the treatment center? I'm not a nun here."

I've lived as a nun all my life, so I dressed like I could look like that.

"In this civil war and doing it, the treatment center was all held up by the military and the general public was told to go to church-- fuck you!

"Then you can go to another church..."

He said, "I have a territory. I don't want to see him."

I felt dizzy. Territorial. Who serves God?

Paula noticed. Because of the civil war, and because of the Church's consciousness, these problems should be happening everywhere in the King's capital. It's not just about this church --.

"Is there always a priest?

The man shakes his neck sideways without force.

"No, he usually doesn't know where he is."

"A, he?

"That priest is a scumbag."

————

It was a shocking word.

"I really didn't want to bring Fran here. He said to give Fran as his mistress every time... and then he would do the money... I kept saying no. Fran didn't like it either. I thought this illness would heal soon. I didn't think it would get any worse..."

No words came out of the blue.

A priest demands a mistress?

If you look closely, the girl in the man's arms has a beautiful face. It was just as thin as my father's. It was full of repairs and probably didn't have the money to buy warm clothes.

"Oh, well, then, what if the priest cures your daughter..."

"... probably demanding just as much money. But if it's going to heal, that's fine! If only I'd been in debt!

"Oops... ugh,"

"Fran! You noticed!?"

A girl wanders in her arms.

"No... Father, at last... as a carpenter, you seem to be able to stand alone..."

"If it weren't for you, there wouldn't be a lot of tension in carpentry work!

The carpenter is crying hard. Tears fall on the girl, but the girl looks at it without a single disgusting face.

(--If I use healing magic here, I solve it)

That is a simple and extreme answer.

(Even if we use healing magic here, if we stop talking to the two of us, Master Hikaru won't find out)

That is an unbearable temptation.

"Um, I 'm--"

It was Hikaru's appearance that came to the back of Paula's brain that I was about to say.

Hikaru, who helped himself when he was about to be attacked by goblins.

Hikaru, who was attacked by Forest Barbarians and was on the verge of destruction, helped themselves.

And then Hikaru glanced at Pier, who told him his secrets, like he'd thrown them cold away without doing anything --.

It wasn't surprising to be limited there. If you have as many secrets as Hikaru, it's only natural to discern them. Now I can understand Hikaru's behavior. It's Hikaru with a tremendous secret, which is why we don't make companions-- we can't make them.

Yet again, Hikaru saved my life. Use even the means of increasing your healing magic.

So is Lavia. She offered herself and was exposed to help herself, even though she should have been able to leave herself alone.

Such a hikaru, Hikaru and the others, demanded of themselves one thing - to live for Hikaru.

I'm the only one who has the rest of his life. [M] Still okay?

—— Yes. I don't mind. If Hikaru has the means to help you both.

—— From now on, your recovery magic will be one of the top in this world. Magic is also raised to the bottom. That's how many people die to take you away. So act as discreetly as possible.

That is, when Hikaru says "good," he doesn't use restorative magic, except when Lavia decides so.

"I... what? What if you have healing magic...?

A man with red eyes in tears, he asks.

Paula sees the girl. Sounds like a pretty serious illness. Could be lung disease. My lips are getting purple, too, and I won't allow prediction.

Gyu, and held both hands.

"Wow, I'll, uh... I'll find it. Father."

That's all I could say to Paula.
