chapter 104 Encounter 3.2

Anyway, I'm not sure what would have happened to me if they hadn't found me.

It has undoubtedly been of great assistance, so I expressed my heartfelt gratitude, albeit briefly.

'Do the children grow up in the monastery?

'

The monastery was primarily a residence for clergy, but it was also a nursery for children who had nowhere else to go.

Even in the game, when you visit a monastery, the majority of the children are cared for in the manner of an orphanage. And eventually become a priest.

Given their early age, I assumed they weren't like that.

At that point, the girl with her head raised up and a puzzled face gazed around my body and inquired once again.

"So, who was the man that was sleeping in the bushes like that?" You're not a local, are you? "

I replied just as I had informed the priest previously.

"I'm simply a passing through." "I'm not sure how I landed in the woods."

The girl, on the other hand, grimaced slightly, as if she didn't like the response.

"You don't recall? Are you telling the truth? "

"not."

"Or perhaps I don't recall why. It sounds like a decent reason. I haven't even damaged my head."

"Maybe it could be."

"...doesn't he appear too calm for someone who has lost his memory?"

"

She was the girl who kept asking if she believed what I said.

Slowly, I became irritated and responded shamefully.

"Because I only remember the moments before I fall." And my mind is also jumbled."

The girl with the disappointed face remarked to me:

"Then I'll just be exposed as a pervert."

"······What?

"

"You were nude on the ground with nothing on." What is it if that isn't a pervert? "

I glanced at her with utterly ridiculous eyes.

What the heck is this nude lying down?

'······ah.'

Did you notice that?

I remembered the last instant before I lost consciousness as I fumbled through the blurry recollections.

I was so preoccupied that I didn't have time to care about such a minor detail... but, obviously, I was naked.

It was quite natural. Not only did the flames burn my body, but they also scorched my clothes. I'm sporting a different clothing right now.

'Wait a second.'

So they claim I was brought up here naked?

He clinched his teeth and sighed.

"You have a problem, so you're pretending you don't recall and avoiding the solution, right?"

"

"no······."

"Alternatively, please respond to me correctly."

I was at a loss for words due to humiliation and a mix of foolishness and contempt.

The girl was then halted by a youngster named Heren.

"Elika, please stop. That's impolite."

She snorted once and then stopped firing.

squeak.

Suddenly there was an odd sound. My spacecraft was the source of the noise.

The girl rose up after a little interval of stillness.

"I'll have the priest bring you something to eat."

"Thank you very much."

It is something I contributed.

"And I'm not that type of person." Don't misunderstand me."

"Do you think I don't enjoy it?" I'll keep thinking in that manner until I receive an answer."

The young lady sticks out her tongue and strides towards the door.

Instead, Heren groaned and lowered his head to apologise.

"I apologise. Don't worry too much about me since I'm a jerk."

"That's correct. Isn't there no one else in the monastery like him? "

The youngster, Tom, burst out laughing, but quickly stopped his lips when he noticed the girl's angry glare.

"Well, get some rest." We're going."

All three persons who appeared unexpectedly left.

When they retreated beyond the threshold, they could be heard conversing.

- Don't you think you're a nobleman? Wasn't there anything strange about the atmosphere?

- Why would a nobleman walk the forest alone, unaccompanied?

- Is that correct? But, as Elika pointed out, it's not like he's a pervert. She looks fantastic with her clean face.

- What do you mean, your face is like that, thus it's more likely.

.

It happened after a time.

The door reopened, and a nun entered carrying a dinner.

"Thank you very much."

I thanked her and took the dinner.

Soup flavoured with bread, butter, and meat.

It was quite a feast for a dinner delivered to a raw foreigner.

I began eating immediately since I lacked strength in my body and was hungry. Let's start with some food.

***

With a hardened expression, Ashel gazed down at the wide forest that stretched out below.

The day was beautiful, and it flew by.

She was struggling to keep her anxiousness and irritation at bay.

'What the heck happened to you?

'

When she came from the battlefield riding a belt dragon, as directed by the 7th Lord.

What was remained of the scene was a fully destroyed region and the body of an unnamed monster he had dealt with.

The 7th Lord disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace.

Although they continuous investigation of the surrounding locations, the figure of the 7th Lord remained unfound.

woo woo.

After numerous rounds and twists, Ashel returned to her original position.

Serun, an informant stationed near the location where the 7th Lord vanished, met her.

"Are you present?

"

Serun was going to inquire if there was any money, but she was stopped by Ashel's grim expression.

With horrible eyes, Ashel examined the demon's body.

Serun had previously informed me that the demon's identification was one of the original horses, as well as the seventh-ranked demon.

Being an elite informant working immediately beneath the overlord's castle, she had little trouble determining the identity of a behemoth the size of a horse.

Serun stared Ashel in the eyes and then cautiously opened her mouth.

"It's risky to remain here all the time." Regarding the master mage's demise, one of the original horses has even been disclosed..."

You never know when additional wizards from the Magic Tower will be here, or when other demons may appear.

Serun believed it was best to leave the situation right away. He couldn't, though, because of Ashel.

Ashel, who had been deafeningly quiet, opened her mouth.

"...we still haven't located Ron-sama."

"If the 7th Lord had been in good health, he would have appeared first."

Ashel instantly whirled around to face Serun.

The life that pierced her body turned her pallid, and she was unable to speak.

"Ron-sama stated that this task had been assigned to the overlord himself."

"············".

"Explain. Is this the work of the Overlord? Isn't this a trap set by the Overlord to deal with Ron-sama? "

Instead of reaping life, Ashel breathed more furiously and spoke coldly.

Serun's mouth barely opened and she stammered in answer.

"Ah… No. I had no idea the 7th Lord would arrive here."

"············".

"Just calm down... and think clearly." What is the High Overlord's motivation for attempting to harm the Seventh Overlord? "

Ashel eventually recovered her energy and closed her eyes firmly in response to Serun's earnest request.

She was well aware that she had just said something totally ridiculous.

It was almost by chance that he ran upon Serun, who was being pursued by the master. It didn't seem right that the Overlord would arrange anything like that.

I couldn't bear my irritated and confused emotions, so I was simply expressing my rage.

"······shit."

Nonetheless, I didn't want to think that way.

Ashel never acknowledged the Seven Lords' deaths. No, I couldn't say it.

She adjusted her shaking heart, believing that she was still living someplace.

Crung.

As she heard a deep wail from the side, she rubbed Tiyong's neck.

"Don't be concerned. He's clearly still alive. He's not going to die easy..."

***

I strolled out to the courtyard outside the monastery after finishing my supper and gazed up at the beautiful sky.

'There is no true answer...'

While his life was saved, the situation became extremely challenging.

'What is Ashel attempting to do now?

'

Because I had abruptly vanished, I assumed they were urgently hunting for me. Perhaps he believed he was dead.

In actuality, she was just transferred here by the demon's abilities, but she couldn't figure out why.

Therefore I needed to return to the kingdom as quickly as possible, but there was no belt and the distance was too great.

'And the body is not in excellent shape.'

The injuries seemed to be entirely healed since the body continued to recover even while unconscious.

The problem was an internal damage, but it was so severe that it was impossible to move even a small portion of the body right now. I was sweating so much that I had to walk a bit to get here.

In simply, moving was not an option right now.

It would have been far better to leave after some recovery than to go right away.

'Shall I remain for a while?

'

As I sensed a private look from the other side, I thought.

It was the paladin's gaze as he stood near the monastery structure.

First and foremost, because I am a complete stranger in their eyes, I expected the bare minimum of monitoring.

Yet, he doesn't appear to want to kick him out, so it wouldn't be a problem to seek for his forgiveness and stay with him for a time.

they fell, but there are certain things that seem a little suspicious, so it appears that there's something to conceal."

With the priest's explanation, Abbot Dehorde brushed his beard.

"He stated that he wishes to remain at the monastery till his body recovers since his condition is so severe that he can scarcely move."

"Then that isn't such a huge issue." Please take care of things so that you are not bothered. When you're a foreigner, simply pay attention and look."

The priest nodded as though he was aware of the chilly acceptance.

He couldn't just toss aside someone who was hurting and in need since he was more faithful than anybody else.

The priest looked at the stack of papers on the desk and said:

"How about taking a bit more rest, Director?" I'm concerned that it may ruin my health."

This was a period when the priests and paladins who were departing for other religions were also busy, thus he was the director who was engrossed in his task.

Dehode smiled at the concerned words.

"Not for a few days, huh. And now it's almost over, so don't be concerned."

The priest moved outside, leaving the Dehorde alone to finish its work.

"············".

He looked down at the cabinet under the desk after a time of perusing the materials.

The bottommost container was padlocked.

He pulled the key from his pocket, unlocked the door, and opened it.

There was a fingertip-sized transparent black gem.

"Hmmmm…."

The Dehorde, who had picked up the diamond, examined it with interested eyes and fiddled with it.

There was nothing more to be seen in that look save icy brutality.

As he heard footsteps coming, he put the diamond back into the drawer and opened his eyes. The knock came soon after.

"Please come in."

Another priest entered when the door reopened.

"What exactly is going on?"

"

"Certainly, Mr. Director. There is anything you should double-check regarding the sutras you cited previously. Are you preoccupied? "

The Dehorde smiled and beckoned.

"It's all right. Bring that over here."

***

He claimed he wished to stay in the monastery till his body recovered after explaining the situation, and he granted permission.

I spent the majority of the day and the next day in bed.

The priests would occasionally come and write recovery spells, but it didn't help much.

Given that recuperation was so long even with super regeneration, Detrodemyan's magical power appeared to be quite poor.

Of all, that was a pretty inexpensive way of dealing with the raw horse's onslaught.

'It's great to sell once.'

That was not the time to unwind, but it was inevitable in this scenario.
