Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party

The Taste of Star Candy

“If you chew that… you won’t have any teeth left.”

Oh Dodok. misread.

Roca chewed on the star candy that he had received from the Holy Father earlier. Rocca, who was still sniffing intermittently, was somewhat relieved only after her tail wrapped around my legs and made me go nowhere.

Then, maybe he wasn’t feeling well, so he ate star candy from a while ago. It must have been candy, but the terrible sound of something breaking was heard over and over again. As I turned to the Holy Father to ask what the hell he had given the boy, he shook his head.

“It’s basically a lump of sugar, but I made it as hard as steel using the secret of Aldehirism. That way, you can roll it in your mouth for a long time and eat it.”

“ah…”

“It’s not like I used to chew like that. Melt it and eat it. Poor children do not have easy access to sweets, so even one candy can be eaten for a long time.”

Loka is biting it with her strong grip and strong teeth. It was at this time that I realized that this child was a Suin.

I asked one out of curiosity, and after chewing it with my teeth, I gave up on chewing. It seemed harder than a whole pork bone. In the end, I rolled it with my tongue and slowly melted it.

“It’s not as sweet as sugar, but it has a slightly sweet taste.”

“It’s not made with pure sugar, but with a few more ingredients.”

“At first, it was really made with only sugar, but the teeth of the priests who were biting it as a test were very rotten. As you know, caries treatment is really painful, isn’t it?”

The cardinal helped. Ah, so that means that the tooth was pulled out and regrowth to cure it. It seemed that the priests struggled with tears in their own way, even in making just one small candy.

Anyway, he said that this star candy was finally completed through trial and error.

“So, we focused on prevention and struggled a bit to prevent tooth decay even if we bite for a long time.”

“Even so, you have very strong teeth. If I did that, I’d be dentured right away. I am envious of being young.”

Oh no, I don’t think that’s a matter of youth?

Is it an illusion to think of a dog biting and crushing a bone and sucking the bone marrow? The present Roka was really like a wolf.

Aww! hard!

Whoa, whoa, I ate that many star candy in an instant. But this kid didn’t like sweets very much, did he? I don’t think there will be any taste left if you take out the sweetness…

“Doesn’t dogs usually like sweets?”

“I also like wolves and foxes. I know it well. They eat dangerous grapes if they eat dogs.”

“I don’t think cane fruits like sweet things. I was startled to see the dog go crazy with honey and run away.”

Seeing Roca who became serious about the sweetness, everyone said one word at a time. Hearing those words, it seemed that way. Humans like sweets, and wolves like sweets, but there’s no way you can’t say that Rocca. Then why didn’t this child know about sweetness?

Loka, who ate all the candy, looked at me.

“it’s delicious.”

“so?”

“I have never tasted this taste before.”

Hmm, maybe there’s something wrong with my taste so I haven’t been able to taste the sweetness? If so, it means that it was not the lack of Rocca that Rocca did not like sweet, but Rocca’s individual problem.

Assuming that the problem was solved by restructuring the body with the firefly fertilization family, the anglerfish fits perfectly. Rather, it seemed that now Loca liked the sweetness more than the others. Ordinary people feel sweet since they were babies, but Roca only started to feel it now.

Since I had lost half of my life in the meantime, I could understand why the reaction caused me to indulge in sweetness. From afar, with a sigh, the Doge approached.

When everyone was gathering and resting, only him was busy running around. In fact, he almost fainted on the airship earlier.

Seeing the charred city of Valles, he wept. And he had to walk around without a trace of sorrow.

“dismissal. What happened?”

“What will happen. it blazed brightly It burned really well down to one door. It’s hard to find a good corner in the city, so this is a rant.”

“Well, so what are the arsonists going to do?”

“What do you do? Holy Father, these are my citizens. are our citizens. Are you going to catch them all and lock them up? In fact, it might not be too bad to completely break it down like this and start from the bottom.”

Have you given up, have you been condescending, or have you been liberated?

He seemed to have accepted the conclusion that the city had been burned to some extent now.

“Because the city was burned like this, after all, the Citadel was the country he wanted to burn. This time, we have to create a country that does not.”

“We Aldehirs will also remain here to help rebuild.”

“Hey, this guy. Why are you deciding that?”

“Hey, Pope. No more Artavus, no ships for a while. Shall we all go on a big journey together and go somewhere else? It’s nice to make friends while walking and get blisters on your feet.”

“Oh, I’m thinking of staying with Corinnell and helping rebuild.”

A sorceress, whose name is still unknown, talked with Mr. Corinel, the branch manager of Balles City of Matop, beside him. He pointed his finger at the only intact gate on the burned-out land.

“The gate is still stopped, so I can’t even if I want to run away. that there is nothing you can do. I’ve made a lot of money in Citadel, so I’ll have to give it back in times like this.”

The Cornell branch manager was also happy to laugh.

“It is dangerous if even demons invade at the same time right now, but fortunately, the intelligence coming in from abroad shows that demons are concentrating on other things right now. They say they are mobilizing a large army to search the forest, as if they are trying to encircle and destroy something.”

“No, is there still such a thing?”

“Even if the rich perish, three generations go. Still, I wonder if we, who were once rich countries on the continent, don’t have such insurance?”

After bruising Mr. Robert, the Doge continued the speech.

“So, it is judged that the reconstruction of the Citadel is sufficiently possible by mobilizing all assets overseas. Non-gong peddling can only be done after that.”

“I’m sorry everyone. You are heroes, but for now it is difficult to even hold a festival to honor you, let alone a reward.”

Everyone nodded. Just looking at the current state of the city, it was clear that this was not the case.

I’d like to stay here and help with the recovery, but more important things remain. cycle meaning. The Lord’s warning. I still had a mission to find out.

“And, Priest. I don’t know if it’s okay to tell you this, but I think it’s an exquisite decision that the priest has come here to help us.”

“What does it mean…?”

Roka, whose voice was still silent, asked quietly. He was speechless, and scratched his head.

“Well… it’s not a definitive spy, but this time there seems to be a commotion there. The world is just going crazy these days. It means that big things that are difficult to handle are exploding.”

“Are you upset?”

“I have received information that the strongholds of the temple and the empire are gathering in the island, Grantera. By now, the two great powers might already be clashing with each other. By the way, I don’t know if these idiots are ignoring each other because they care too much about each other, or if they know and are deliberately ignoring each other…”

“I don’t know?”

“Greetings!”

At the words the apprentice had uttered, the atmosphere around the place became cold. The Holy Father, who had a benevolent expression, also had a hard expression on his face, and the people of the Republic who were directly affected by this incident became cold and unsteady. Robert shouted.

“No, what does that mean? Are you suddenly so grumpy?”

“I have received information that Grimudo attacked and destroyed Elvenheim. I don’t know. Mildo sent information in such a hurry, so there is not much written on it. It’s just that the primordial demon king has appeared. And I don’t know how he… I don’t know, but I think he destroyed Elvenheim by ignoring the world tree’s shield.”

“Am I really, the Demon King is trying to shape the world?!”

“How would I know that? The primordial demon lord, only you will know.”

The Demon King, Elvenheim?

Rowena’s words flashed through my mind.

– Grimudo was always aiming for our Elvenheim. As if our elves were supposed to be dead, time and time again… time and time again, I tried to burn Elvenheim. Even if you don’t get anything like that.

Without realizing it, I closed my eyes tightly. There is a saying that failure is the mother of success. After swallowing many failures, the Demon King seems to have finally achieved success.

It may be too late, but for now, it felt like I had to meet Mr. Rowena again.

“I think we should go back. I’m sorry that we couldn’t be together until the end.”

“If I hear such a voice from someone who saves us from danger and then throws himself at another threat, what am I supposed to say? I am so sorry.”

He clicked his tongue and answered.

“I can’t give you a good treat, I can’t hold a banquet once, and I have to send it off with only my eyes hurt. I don’t feel very comfortable.”

“By the way, is there any way back? We don’t even have the Artavus anymore.”

The Holy Father said with a worried look on his face. I nodded.

“Because there is a beacon of the sanctuary left in the system.”

If you make one beacon here in Vales City, you can connect the two beacon to each other. If so, you will be able to beat this long distance and go straight to the Imperial Palace.

“Well then, go ahead. Someday, if the two of you get married, come here for your honeymoon. Until then, I will try my best to restore the former appearance somehow.”

…yes?

“yes!”

…loca?

“Then we will be here as guests.”

“On that day, I will officiate myself.”

Mr. Thomas? Holy Pope?

“In particular, we will not levy taxes on the congratulatory money on that day.”

“Let’s build a ceremonial hall together while rebuilding the city.”

Mr. Robert and Cardinal Yehado?

Before I could even open my mouth to say anything, something filled my eyes. The raised cheeks, and the blue eyes that grew bigger as if they were mentioned above. And long hair that tickles my arms.

Loka hugged me. In my mouth, I could feel the taste of star candy.

“It’s really good to be young.”

After seeing the reactions of the people next to me, I realized what I was doing. No, it’s not what I did, but what happened…

“It’s peak time.”

“We had times like that.”

It took a little while for Rocca to be satisfied and open her mouth.
