Chapter 3 ~ The Shrine of Various G.o.ds
My magical power almost depleted by the time I finished doing treatment at 7.
I’m soo tired. I want to get to bed fast. Overdoing the treatment is bad after all.
I was guided back to my room by the priest. I can see Sati has been sitting for a while now. She looks at me, and smile a little.
The room was s.p.a.cious and there is also a big bed. It is a luxurious room with fine decorations and furniture for two persons. It looks like a hotel suite room, or even a VIP room.
“Um, I don’t need this kind of luxurious room, I’m using it to sleep just all. It’s fine for me to even sleep inside my tent, at your garden or somewhere else…”
“No way! We have prepared the best room for Masaru – dono. Please do not hesitate to use it. We have also prepared the hot water for bath, and the meal will come shortly after.”
After that, Danilo – dono slowly excused himself from our room.
Even when I was in j.a.pan, I have never stayed in such a place like this. Even the room services. I then fall onto the bed. Yeah, it’s fluffy and feels good.
“Thank you for your hard work, Masaru – sama.”
Sati comes over and says.
“Is Sati not tired?”
“Yes, I’m still fine. I thought about calling Masaru – sama before, but you look busy with your treatment.”
I get up from bed, and hugged Sati. I stroked Sati’s hair and her ears, but the feeling is reduced because I’m still wearing my armour. Even though it’s bold, Sati get me off my armour. It makes me happy to see her taking care of it carefully.
Sometimes, there is also a moment where you are not tired even after depleting your magical power. There was nothing that I can do when we’re still travelling on the horse carriage, but now…
The door was knocked right at that time. Why must be now!
I change clothes in a hurry and have Sati greet them. The meals seem have been brought here.
Danilo – dono and a female priest are the one who are serving the meals. Somehow the female priest uniform here looks more beautiful. After she finished serving us, she said something like “I’m your fan. I’m rooting for you! Please give your best.” Just before she went out. What fan…
I ask the remaining Danilo – dono.
“Hey, what does she means by current fans…”
“That’s right. Aren’t the healing mages less known than adventurers and soldiers? So, what will you called to someone who make this healing industry famous, by aliasing himself as a travelling masked priest? A hero. It was just like an appearance of a hero. Well lots of people keep asking about this guy ident.i.ty and that’s how we respond to it. Somehow the story itself gained lots of attention.”
Are you serious…
“Ano. What do you mean by lot of attention?”
“Perhaps the important figure at the central shrine already knows about you.”
While we are conversing, I also noticed there is a shark fin soup included in the meal. I’ve been healing lots of people today, moribund person, persons full of holes, just name it. Everything was done within half a day. After that, I didn’t even wait to give my name, or even to receive thank you before I fled the scene.
To be honest, it’s hard for me to even cure a moribund person, and the amount of injured person in the hall will increase soon too. It’s not like I’m doing this stuff for rewards, so then I just walked home, dried out.
I’m fortunate that my name was not found out. Once again, I give my thanks to the Priests who keep their mouth tightly shut.
“Ano! Ano! Please seriously keep the matter of me a secret! Really, like seriously!”
“I’ve got it. Don’t you worry. Your ident.i.ty is safe with me.”
After saying that, Danilo – dono went out.
“For now, do you want to eat first…”
“Yes.”
The meal consists of lots of fancy stuff and quite delicious. There are also lots of it, enough for Sati and me to eat our heart out.
Even though the bath is smaller than our room, it’s still feel quite luxurious. The bathtub is also quite big, seeing that it can contain both Sati and me without making us feel cramped.
I soaked myself as always, and let the water warm my body.
It’s early in the morning, when the sun is not out yet, that Sergeant – dono comes and take my Sati.
After I saw her off, I continue sleeping. I’m tired from lack of sleep. Besides, I’m in such a nice room right now. It’s not long that I get anxious that Sati isn’t around and I finally woke up.
I want to follow her. I wonder if I can go out and get away somewhere.
Un, let’s go after the treatment even when my magical power has run dry today.
Dawn arrive, I went into the hospital and I can already see the treatment already started. I wonder who got injured last night. I tell Danilo – dono.
“I’ll change into the priest cloth and start the treatment.”
Right now, I’m wearing my casual wear. Just to be safe, I always bring my sword along. n.o.body will think I’m a healing mage just by looking at me.
“No, didn’t Masaru – dono been treating until late yesterday. Your magical power has not been recovered fully, yet right?”
I guess my MP still has about half more.
“Besides, Bishop – sama has something to talk with you, so how about we meet him after breakfast.”
Is a bishop superior to the priest? Well that’s the feeling that I’ve got.
“Understood.”
I still haven’t recovered all my magical power too, so it can’t be helped.
“I will guide you to Bishop – sama later, so please relax in the room until then.”
I wonder if I should go looking for Sati. Or maybe I can just go back to the room and read some book.
“I’ll just go back in my room and wait.”
It was when I was reading a book in my room that Danilo – dono came with an elderly person. There is also a food cart brought along with them.
“Masaru – dono, this is the Bishop – sama, Blanco.”
“Nice to meet you, Masaru. I have heard the story. I’m sorry that I didn’t come over and say h.e.l.lo yesterday. I’m already collapsed because I’ve been used too much magical power. You see, I have not much magical power already by this age.”
Yea, I can understand that. Bishop Blanco – sama.
“Nice to meet you too, Bishop – sama.”
“Now, now. Let’s eat our breakfast first. It’s not good to talk with an empty stomach.”
The table is surrounded by three people. The meal that we have is nothing special. Recently, it has always been Sati and me alone. I wonder if Sati is fine…
“So, how it’s going, your journey as a masked priest?”
As expected even this person knows about it.
Somehow this has become too troublesome.
“Well you see. I’m originally a fire attribute mage. Only after that I visited a nearby shrine to let me learn recovery magic.”
“I see. So, you used to be a fire mage. You’re quite versatile.”
“So to be able to learn and use recovery magic as soon as possible, I gathered people to treat as a practice. Because I have lot of magical power in reserve, I always end up treating all the patients in the clinic.”
“I see, I see.”
“After that, people keep coming and coming. The shrine hall started to get full. I actually hate to stand out…and that’s where the mask and priest cloth some.”
それから治療のときの話も詳しく再現する。尾ひれがついたままの話を信じていられるのは嫌だからね。(I have no idea L)
“So, it’s not like I’m actually a devoted shrine priest who are in journey to treat people. I’m sorry. I just decided to do those stuffs out of my own convenience.”
“No, no, that’s fine. What you have done has really give our shrine good name. I’m the one that should feel thankful to you.”
“As I said, I did it as part of the training for my healing magic.”
“How about you truly becoming a priest. With my approval, you can become one right away. “
Am I getting scouted again. All these priests sure have the same thought. It’s not like I have faith. Isn’t it better for me to join as Templar Knight.
“Thank you for your offer, but I really think that adventurers suit me more.”
“You can still continue to become an adventurer. For your information, there are lots of our priest who works as an adventurer right now. It’s not like you are bounded to the shrine just because you have become an adventurer.”
Even if I’m allowed to become an adventurer, there is just no advantages. Even now I can simply enter the shrine whenever I want to.
“Do you know the role of this shrine to our G.o.ds?”
“To pray to G.o.d?”
“That is just one part of it. Of course, the faith towards our G.o.ds from around the Razgarde World is important. But one of its main function is to develop and made survival in this world possible.”
Right now, I’m in a place called Razgarde World. I heard about this place for first time when I’m applying for the job.
I thought that this world G.o.d used this name to make it easier for me.
