2 The Saint is a Man

My eyebrow twitched. At the same time, I am really trying my best to maintain my composure along with a professional smile. In front of me, there's a really angry man, which also the saint whom just been summoned to this world and the vice commander of the knight faction, Connor Hawk is trying to calm down the mad man.

"Send me back to my world right now!"

"I apologize, sir. However, we are informed that the summoning ceremony is a one-way trip."

"It can't be. Don't lie to me!"

Unable to grasp the truth, the saint sits on the sofa. He held his head down.

I kinda understand him. I also would be too surprised if I suddenly appeared to an unfamiliar place. It will make me feel like an alien. I think right now he is doing a good job maintaining his composure. If it is me, I would already set this place on fire.

"The last thing I know is, I was trying to save a high school girl from being hit by a car. I don't know if I've been hit since I don't feel it but..."

Hoho. How heroic. Of course, it would be a one way trip since the theory of summoning from another world is to request the fairy of this world to make a deal with his world's fairy to transfer him here. Unfortunately, it is impossible to directly transfer him here since the dimension of two different worlds is too strong. It will shatter the body. So, only the soul can be transferred here. Of course, the fairy has to make a new body in order for him to be able to live here in this world. Thus, they could alter the body to the best condition. Because of the special traits, only an otherworlder could reseal the gate to the demon world.

And. In order to not create a disturbance to his world with news that people suddenly disappeared into thin air, we have to create a scenario in his world to clarify that his body there can no longer be used. That is why most of the people that are transferred here mostly have a short lifetime in their world. In other words, we have to kill him there in order to summon him here. Sounds cruel, isn't it? But of course, we could not tell him this information. Otherwise, he will kill us all. And of course, only certain people have this kind of knowledge.

So, it's not like the summoning was a failure but he's the one who interferes with the summoning. The original saint should be the high school girl which was the heroin from the game. but since he jumps to save the girl, it turns out that the role of the saint has been pass towards him.

What this? Now that the saint turns out to be a man, does that mean I can hope a little?

"I'm very sorry sir. But we need you in order to save our world."

My mind was interrupted by Mr Hawk's pleading.

"I don't care about your world! I only care about my patients in my world. So, send me back already."

"I'm truly sorry sir saint."

Mr Hawk lowered his head more than normally.

"I'm not a saint! I'm just a doctor!"

Oh. A doctor. He must be very smart.

This is such a disaster. That is why according to history, usually a saint is chosen among the high scholar, who is young, easy and dumb enough to quickly accept the truth and agree with our condition. The fairy is smart you know.

However, forget about them. Right now, I am really in a difficult situation. I was too busy watching the drama of these two people. I just realize that I am still awkwardly standing in front of the door, trying to find the right time to interfere. I bet they don't even realize that I'm here. Seriously vice head mage? Why did you force me to get involved in this?!

I recall the command that vice head mage given me just now.

'Please help vice commander Hawk'. I want to ask him why he doesn't come instead. And this is the reason.

Argh. I cannot stand this anymore.

"Umm… Excuse me vice commander Hawk, I think it would be best if we leave the saint alone to let him rest for a while. He must be really confused and tired right now."

Vice commander Hawk's back flinch and turn to look at me.

You just realized that I'm here, do you?

His lips immediately form a smile with a slightly teary eye.

I bet he is screaming "Thank God!" in his head right now. Commander Hawk! You just relief just now don't you?

"Oh. Um... You are?"

"I am Evette Crest, captain of the 3rd battalion of royal mage faction at your service sir."

"Oh, right. Nice to meet you too. Captain Crest, please take care of the saint's needs."

"But sir, where is the maid in charge?"

"He sent them all away. For now, we are trying to find a steward for him. I need to make a report to my superior right away."

What! Vice Commander Hawk! Don't tell me you want to run away too?

In a flash, he moves swiftly behind me and opens the door.

Don't use your skill to run away! I will not let you.

"ah- but vice comm-!

With half of his body already at the outside of the room, he turns back to me and said,

"I'll leave him to you"

And the door finally closed. While I, just standing there petrified by the door suddenly shut in my face. My head is playing a series of cursing for Vice Commander Hawk.

You have got to be kidding. This is such a mess. Why did my superior always act like this? Give me a break.

I gather my strength and turns back towards the saint. Don't forget the professional smile.

"He just run away, did he?" said the saint. It seems like he does understand my position right now.

But! How bad is your superior is, you should not badmouth them.

"I apologize, but vice commander Hawk has some urgent work to do. Please excuse him."

Sigh- the saint let out a heavy sigh. Is he still angry?

"Well, I also used to have a superior as you do. Until you summon me to this world..."

I just stay silent. I think it is no use to keep on apologizing. What's done is done.

"..and now I am just an unemployed man in an unknown world."

"No, sir. You are our sain-!"

"Don't! You ever call me that."

His eyes stare fiercely at me. it felt like a knife stab through me.

Gulp.

For a moment there, I felt a terrifying power from him. It seems like he did not realize that he was gushing out his power. Saint power truly is no joke. I felt shiver ran down my spine. I put my hands at my back to hide my trembling hands. I gather my breath and ask nicely.

"Then, what should I call you sir?"

I am really trying my best to keep wearing my professional smile. I don't know if he realized that I am starting to get scared or what, but his power starting to calm down.

"It's Eric. Eric Kirishima."

"Then, Sir Kirishima. It is a pleasure to know you. My name is Evette Crest. Please feel free to call me Eve."

"Eric is fine." He said as he rests his back on the sofa and closes his eyes.

"Okay, Mr. Eric. So, do you want to take a walk outside the temple?"

"I'm tired to walk."

"Then, do you want anything to eat?"

"I don't have an appetite to eat."

"Is there anything you want sir?"

"I don't want anything."

My blood vessels are starting to blow up. No, no. Take a deep breath Eve. You can do this. Keep your composure. You are a professional. He is just testing you.

"Well then, if you need anything, feel free to ask me. I will be here for you."

I stand behind him quietly and wait for another instruction.
