Vol 2 Chapter 16 (2/2)

“Are you alright? Then, when you get used to it please look around slowly”

“I can see…my eyes……my eyes are…”

“Father!”

Geena-san hugs her father in excitement

“Ooh, Priest-dono, Masaru-dono, how can I thank you enough”

“Thank you very much, thank you very much”

“I thought that I wouldn’t be able to see anymore for the rest of my life”

“As expected of Masaru-dono Wonderful skills”

“No, it’s not that big of a deal”

During my 23 years of life, it was rare that people would have feelings of gratitude towards me

And now here they are, bowing repeatedly with gratitude

I know I did so thankful for, but this is a cheat

I’ qualities

I just received these abilities from a God by chance

I’m not a person that people should be thankful to…

While I was deep in thought, Geena-san returned fro coins on the table

A few silver coins Also some copper ones

“Uhratitude Also, this”

Then she hands

I accept the ring It’s a beautiful ring with a save this to her?

“It’s awe have that has some value…”

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeh!? I can’t accept so as important as that!

“Nonono I will give this back! Look, as we said before, it’s fine with just the normal treatment fee! Priest-sama, please accept only the normal fee’s worth”

“How can that be! Then how can we express our gratitude”

“But…”

“There there, both of you Masaru-dono is looking troubled The reward is sufficient with only this much”

Then Priest-sama takes a few coins and hands them over to me

“Is that so…I know! Geena You should go to Masaru-sairl orks well It’s fine whether as ht, Geena?”

“That sort of thing…… father It would be an annoyance to Masaru-sama……”

They are saying maid and concubine, but Geena-san looks like she’s not wholly against the idea either, she is glancing at

“No, it’s really alright! If you really want to express your gratitude then please do soe Well then, Priest-sao!”

Saying that I leave the house while pulling Priest-sama with me

“Hahhahha You should have just accepted her”

What kind of irresponsible things is he saying I do think it’s a bit of a shaives off a feeling of town-girl ould look good in an apron, a bit plain looking, but she was fairly cute

“Is Priest-sama married?”

I ask casually

“I have a wife She is living in this town”

This is the first time I’ve heard of that

“She used to help out at the orphanage, but her health has deteriorated”

“Oh, will she be alright?”

“Yes, it’s just her lower back that got worse She is fine already, but she is looking after our grandchild at home now”

Grandchild, huh It’s true that Priest-sama is fairly old already

“My as the one that taught Angela how to cook too, you see That’s right, how about you coh she is not a professional, but she can make some quite delicious foods”

“Alright, when there is an opportunity”

Priest-sae is ela, Sister Matilda and her partner apparently

“Masaru-dono possesses a splendid ability There is no need to force yourself to fight really Don’t you think treating people and earning their gratitude is also a splendid way of living?”

“That’s true”

If there wasn’t a pre into ruin, then that would’ve been fine too Working in aour life in peace every day That kind of lifestyle

“Welcome back, Priest-sama, Masaru”

“Sorry for being away for so long Was everything fine over here?”

“There was only one patient who came over”

“Then Angela Later then Also, thank you very much for before, Priest-sama”

“You really helped me out too Also, please think about what I just mentioned We elcome you anytime”

There was still ti while

While I was staying at hoe boar , but it’s kept in reserve Buying vegetables and the like in the market is fine, but the meat is nearly double what the Guild pays, so I want to be self sufficient with it

When I was going through the gate the usual guard-duty soldier called out to me

“Masaru I have so to talk to you about”

Ooh What happened? I’on Slayer, this is the first time I’ve been called by my name

I’ve been brought to the guard rooate

“I’ve heard that you healed our soldier guys when the harpies attacked We wanted to thank you, but you are not easy to get ahold of”

“I was injured a bit too, so I’ve been lazing around at home”

“I see Then I’ll say thank you for now Thank you Our guys are all grateful to you too If those treatht’ve died”

“No, the people of the Teht Order also came to treat people, so I don’t think it would’ve…”

“Before the Teht Order cas in check with a huge fire ht They said it really bought some time Don’t be too modest You’ve saved a number of lives for sure”

I see I guess that’s true

I was always thinking about the four adventurers who lost their lives, but there were people that were saved too

“Oi, why are you crying? Did I say so?”

Huh? I’?

“No, if I had…if had done things better, then perhaps no one would’ve died, is what I was thinking all this time But you said that there were people that were saved too, so……”

No good Crying over solad that there are only two people in the guardroom

“Done things better, you say There is no one that would say so like that to you One person can only do so rateful to you I will say thank you once again Masaru, thank you”

“Not at all It’s an adventurer’s job to fight ht? I’ve just done what I could”

“I guess so But a debt is a debt If there is so, then just say so We will help you anytime”

That day I only hunted five wild rabbits, then returned to town

I wasn’t really in the mood either way
