Chapter 260 – SUPER DAMAGE AND SUPER REGENERATION (1/2)

CHAPTER 260 – SUPER DAMAGE AND SUPER REGENERATION

I went out for a walk in the town of Roizen after a long time.

It’s a town that isn’t really unique, but it is very lively recently.

The goods handled by stores and the number of passers-by that looked like travelers are increasing.

「Business is really easy in Mercouri」

「You’re completely right about that. Money is light and on top of that, there’s no need to worry about receiving fake ones. Maybe I should consider transferring all my business to Mercouri」

I heard a conversation of merchants that passed by.

I see. It’s getting crowded around here because of the new currency issued by Mercouri huh.

I heard some about it from Iris, but it’s the first time I’m seeing it personally.

『From my experience』

「Un?」

『People come out of their houses when business is good. Leaving aside nobles and royals, commoners must come out to use money』

「I see. Looking at them carefully, their expressions are bright」

『It was the first thing you have done in this world, right?』

「It’s before I met you」

I feel like I’ve been with her for a long time (it’s more than true in some sense), but I did many things without Eleanor when I just came to this world.

The incident about counterfeit coins and hunting mountain cows is a part of that.

『Hmm, the you that I do not know, huh』

「Un?」

『I just thought how pathetic you have been』

Eleanor cheerfully said in a teasing tone.

Having no physical body, this girl really likes playing with her words.

「I wonder who is it who got her ass kicked by that pathetic man?」

『In common sense, tools need skilled users. It cannot be helped since the tool was rusted even if the opponent is weak』

「There’s someone who made that tool rust? How useless」

『It is also someone who made it pregnant』

「That’s amazing. The daughter must be super cute」

『As if a cat gave birth to a tiger』

I walked around the town while exchanging casual talk with Eleanor.

While I did that, I felt someone looking at me the whole time.

The townspeople were looking at me the whole time.

I’m a famous noble living in the ex-haunted house on the outskirts of town, so it looks like I’ve gathered attention because of that.

『It looks like you really need a disguise』

「I guess so」

I activated Eleanor’s aura while walking.

I slowly released it so it would not be flashy, slowly covering my body.

Gradually, my appearance changed.

Adding to the fact that I was moving, no one noticed it.

Instead, the gazes gradually decreased.

After I changed to a young man no one knows from a noble with an official title, nobody gave me another look.

Soon after I completely changed, I stopped in front of a certain building.

The church.

The church of Solon that most of the town would have at least one.

I can hear voices from people praying inside.

I pushed the door open and entered inside.

「Huh?」

Within those many believers praying, a young woman who was watching them looked at my direction.

That young woman that wore clerical clothes approached and called out to me.

「You’re here for the first time, right? Do you wish to be converted?」

「You can tell I’m here for the first time?」

I glanced at the other believers.

I tried to search if they have a common trait, but I didn’t find any of that sort.

「I remember everyone who has come to visit here」

「He〜」

I was impressed by her who said it as if it was natural. I guess she has a good memory.

「My name is Meryl Onassis」

「It’s Shou」

「Shou-san, then. Do you wish to be converted?」

「Yeah. I was saved by Melissa-sama before」

「Oh, that was the case!」

Meryl’s expression turned soft.

I made up a reason that sounds very plausible and natural. I used that as a reason because I’ve been with Melissa many times when she was saving people, so I can make up as many reasons I can make.

「You are the same with me then!」

It looks like I didn’t need to make up more reasons. Meryl instantly believed me and even felt a sense of comradeship.

「Do you know the town of Rintos?」

「I think I’ve heard about it.」

「Ahaha, it’s just a small town after all. I was living in that town, but one day, there was an incident caused by tree spirits. But when everyone was at a loss on what to do, Melissa-sama came and subjugated it」

「He〜」

『That’s your encounter with the Saintess』

Un? Encounter with the Saintess……ahh, it’s that time huh.

I don’t remember the names, but I remember the time I’ve met Melissa clearly. It’s the same with what we did then.

I see, she was from that town huh.

「After that, I entered the Solon Church and arrived at this town」

「Why did you come to this town?」

「It’s because I heard that Melissa-sama comes here a lot. I thought I could meet her if I come here」

Meryl said and blushed.

I see. This is the patter where rather than Solon Church itself, she is a devotee of Melissa as an individual.

Melissa frequently visits my place. Unlike my other women, it looks like she would also visit the church here after coming to my mansion.

Meryl came here because of that huh.

「Ah! I’m sorry, I was talking about myself the whole time」

「No, I don’t mind」

「Anyways, you would like to convert right?」
