Chapter 20 - Volume 2 (2/2)
Aaaaaaah~, shouts are coming from the people gathered in front of the noble house.
But, I couldn’t care less about such things.
I’ve already grown back his leg, even his leg hair has come back, so it can’t be helped that it attracts attention.
“It can cure baldness…?”
A faint voice leaked out, a few men’s shoulders were slightly trembling.
“Th-th-th-th-thank you very much, Saint-sama~!”
Miner uncle, were you scared? I only blanked out for a moment because of stress, you know?
Why is Sarah-chan not with us? You’re my escort, so please stay by my side.
“Yu-yurushia-sama, thank you very much.”
The old lord says while coming closer little by little. This person seems to be a vassal of Father, less of a noble and more of a feudal lord.
“No, no. I’m glad to be of help.”
As I put on an awkward smile, I heard sighs of relief from here and there… I’m really sorry.
“Do you have anyone else who is injured…?”
“This was the last of the serious injuries. For the less injured, the local priest took care of them.”
Hmm… to relieve stress, I was going to use [Blessed Feast], I thought. Oh well.
Now that I’m done, I feel like watching the [Humans]
The angels of light flew down and danced in the city…
“Please make yourself at home in my house today. Folt-sama mentioned that I should tell you this.”
“Thank you very much. So, may I have a look around the city…?”
“Of course Yurushia-sama, I’ll get a guide right away.”
I will diligently relieve my stress.
“Bree-chan.”
“Yes, Princess-sama!”
Bridget comes running up to me at my call.
Just so you know, I call her “Bree-chan” because it’s same way I call her companion Sarah-chan, definitely not because it’s easy to remember that [Sara(Dish)] goes with [Donburi(Bowl)] (in JP).
Anyways, Bree-chan became sulky if I only called sarah-chan such.
I tell them my request.
“I-it’s no good, Princess-sama, it’s too dangerous.”
“I really ca~n’t?”
Since I was declined, I look up at them in a childish way, trying to look cute while [Begging] with my head tilted up.
“Princess-sa- a, fua-”
Bree-chan suddenly crouches while holding her face.
A six-year-old child is begging forcefully. Bree-chan has weak nose membranes.
Just because of my pleading you can’t put out your nosebleed…? Maybe she’s just very hot-blooded.
My request was simple and clear, I only want to walk around town without a companion. Since, if I go out at all, those four people come out. My nerves can’t take the full force any more.
Applying [Healing] to Bree-chan over and over, I think that it would be fine to go out with only one person escorting me.
“I’ve decided.”
The winner: Bridget-chan.
It’s a completely fair decision, though to go so far for me is a bit… After selecting from the knights who volunteered, they were chosen one after another; eventually culminating in the fist-fight between Sarah and Bridget that was resolved, and Bridget arrived.
… Though, thinking about it. Did you hit each-other more just so I would use [Healing] on you?
“ … W-what is this, Yurushia-sama.”
The lord-uncle was looking wide-eyed at the injured female knights with disheveled clothes.
A boy who looked like a page was next to him… Ah, he was speaking about getting a guide before.
“S-saint-sama.”
That child… a boy who was a little taller than me, called me so with a bright red face.
Also with the ‘Saint-sama’… The rumor has even reached a child like that, huh.
“ … You…”
“Do you remember? This child was one of the children kidnapped with you during that [Incident].”
“Ah…”
Yes, I remember now. That child.
During the second demon summoning incident, he was the dying child whose eyes said he [Wanted to Die].
“F-for that time… Thank you very much.”
“Yeah.”
His skinny cheeks had filled out, and his clothes have become better, and he looks happy..
That’s a relief… At that time, he had such a nice [Look] in his eyes.
Well, it can’t be helped. Since I couldn’t allow [That].
From his story, he was originally a child of refugees, but after his parents could not be found, Father entrusted him to the custody of a vassal who could afford him.
As expected, Father is wonderful.
“I am Noel. I’ve always… wanted to meet you, Saint-sama…”
Oh my, how cute. He’s fidgeting all around.
“This child will do fine, he has the potential to be a mage, and he has a variety of good futures ahead of him.”
Uncle, you’re in the way. Noel has brown mussed hair, and his beautiful tea-green colored pupils were avoiding my stare.
“Saint-sama, today I will guide you through the city.”
“Yup, thanks.”
Recently, I’ve become better at human interactions between children, due to all the healing.
Noel is obedient and cute, causing me to show a smile involuntarily. But, will he be calling me “Saint-sama” all day? That would be super embarrassing.
