‘What’s this? She sounds really familiar This cold, firm-toned voice… Where did I hear it?’
As he pondered this, the Saintess approached hi okay?”
“Yes You’re the Schumern Saintess-nim…Correct?”
“ly embarrassed She furtively looked away and nodded
Unsurprisingly, her aloof yet tender aura was befitting of a saintess
But…
‘Why is she dressed like that?’
She looked suspicious Very </e a white priest robe with a hood over her head But below it…
lasses and a blackthis last time As he stared, she covered her face with her hands, even though it was already hidden
“P-please don’t look at aze”
“I’m not” Shethat her voice sounded familiar, Seo Jun-Ho asked, “Objectively, what do you think of the state of my body?”
“Mm, well You could say… it’s co re out of her like a waterfall
“Why did you keep fighting until you became like this? There were Heavens of the Nine Heavens there Did you know that you would have died if I had come just a little bit later? You’re lucky I had been in the area I don’t knohy you always do this to yourself I don’t understand I’m pretty sure I told you not to push yourself…”
She muttered the last part to herself so Seo Jun-Ho couldn’t hear her, but he was sure of one thing

It was probably because she hadn’t seen a patient in such an extrehed bitterly
“I’m sorry But I had no other choice”
“You didn’t have a choice this time either? Then when will </e But all Seo Jun-Ho could do was apologize once again Either way, she had saved his life
“I promise to repay you someday,” he said
“No thanks You can repaya healthy life”

Without their king, the bees were nothing but mobs Nothey were, it didn’twith the elite fighters of the Big 6, they cleaned thele bee left
“And now, they’ve gone to the capital to receive their reward,” the Saintess said
“I see”
Seo Jun-Ho didn’t have a strong desire for a reward In the first place, the only reason he was able to get into Blackfield was that he was a mercenary for Halleuild
“Mr Milphage sends his thanks,” she said
She gave a brief su off the bees, the Heavens came up to the roof and were shocked by the flower They couldn’t believe how much destructive force Moon Eye had
They also felt ashaht Janabi instead of Seo Jun-Ho and Gong Ju-Ha, the two of them wouldn’t have sustained such injuries
“Mr Milphage said that even though you contributed to the battle, he would give the corpse to Specter-nim because he did most of the work”
“I see”
Good He would need the corpse to use Confession of the Dead on Janabi
“By the way, the body is being held at the Player association on the 1st floor”
“Makes sense” It was much easier to store it on the 1st floor because the 1st floor didn’t have unpredictable fiends like on the 2nd floor
The Saintess finished her treatment and stood up “Despite what happened, you, Miss Ju-Ha, and Specter-nie”
“”
“You’re a very interesting person, you know”

“Please know that there are always those looking out for you and cheering you on” Because of the sunglasses and mask, he couldn’t see any part of the suspicious saintess’s face, but his heart felt warm from her support
“Thank you”
“I’ll see you tomorrow” With that, she left the roo for an hour before he ot ready to leave
