Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party

The Returned Sapling

Last night in the Islands. I lay in bed but couldn’t sleep at all.

Hagi, I haven’t been able to sleep well before. Even if the body is exhausted, the mind remains full, so I don’t remember getting a good night’s sleep unless I’m really tired.

Even if you spend this time tossing and turning in bed, you are just wasting time. What happened so far never leaves my head. Urinell had a problem, and so did the elves.

Still, Rowena’s appearance was good in her eyes. I’ve never been this bored in my life. Problems that did not arise in one or two places were stacking up and bothering me.

-When the times change greatly, there is a time when things that should be destroyed are the last to make a big fuss. All the dangerous things you think are thriving at first glance, but in reality they are only half a step away from catastrophe.

That doesn’t mean there are other numbers. Just as the angel left behind, I have no choice but to take one step at a time, believing that all the chaos will one day fade away.

If you just believe, the Lord will never answer that prayer.

Oh God. Is the end really coming? How can this fragile body endure the end? Lord. Please look down.

It is not what he wants to pray in this way. It is closer to the will of the Lord to take one more action at the time of praying in the room with the sound of the apocalypse.

It was not yet the time to put such a weak sound in his mouth. Problems are popping up all over the place, but as we go through life, we will experience this kind of thing at any time.

At least I didn’t think that everything had reached the point of irreversibility.

North Pole. What awaits me in the Arctic? answer to the question? secret of the world? Or a solution to the problem? Being there is not simply the true meaning of the cycle.

The first time I decided to go to the North Pole was to find out the secret of the cycle from the Demon King. However, my journey meant more than simply getting answers from the Demon King.

Could it be that the angel wants me to go there because there is a way out of the current chaos?

‘No matter how much you think about it, you won’t know until you go.’

The Eastern Plains you must stop on your way to the North Pole.

It’s a passable place if it’s planned. If only Kisea-san’s people can disarm the petrification, there is nothing more to see. But I don’t know if it will go as planned. You will be able to decide your next step only when you go there.

haha, probably not Eventually I got out of bed, turned on the lamp, and headed to my desk. Rocado, Kisea-san, and the princess are also busy doing something without a break.

I couldn’t stay still. I didn’t know what to do, but I felt like I had to do something.

“Hey, aren’t you sleeping yet?”

bang bang. A knock was heard on the door. The village elders were right once again today, saying that wolves also come if they think of it. Just as I was thinking about doing something now, Kisea came to me.

“Can I talk to you for a moment? I want to say something, but the only person I can think of is you.”

What are you talking about this night? Have you come to discuss your future plans?

I thought so, but no.

*****

“I… I lost.”

Seeing Kisea again, her outfit was definitely different. Among the adventurers, he took off the clothes he would wear as a geek, and was wearing a splendid robe worn by nobles or nobles.

“I lost. Cool too.”

It seems that he made a great contribution to the drug crackdown, and it is said that the clothes were given to him by the Imperial Nobility. Now, this man is also a vicar. That may not mean anything to Kisea-san personally, but at least it will be of great help when this person leads the clan and establishes a place in the Empire.

Anyway, there is a cause of being an imperial nobleman. Even if the cause seems like nothing, once you put it on your back, a lot of problems are eased.

Of course, that was later, and Viscount Kisea in front of him was smirking. In his hand was a large wine bottle from where he got it.

“Jidani, to whom?”

“To Loka…”

“Did you play against Loka?”

I look at Kisea-san. In the sheath, the famous sword Ascalon, which was made by the dog Urban, was still there. On the other hand, Roca’s weapon is a mass-produced sword that doesn’t even fit into the ranks of famous swords.

“Did you use both weapons in the dungeon?”

“No, I did it with this.”

We were fighting with a true sword. If that was the case, Kisea-san would have had the upper hand in terms of weapons and experience, but you were defeated by Roca? After thinking for a while, I asked.

“Then, maybe Kisea-san has limited the use of only one arm…”

“What kind of bullshit? There was no such thing. It’s just that I’m completely screwed.”

“Isn’t that absurd? Loka is a child who has just become a master.”

I didn’t know if my child had become that great or if he was too weak. When should I have seen Kisea-san fight with all her might?

“In case you were scared and pushed back a little, you declared defeat right away…”

“It would be better if that were the case. And do I look like that coward? How can I live now because I’m embarrassed! I was properly humiliated in front of everyone.”

I didn’t think it would come to me crying, but I should consider the priesthood. My own thoughts are not important. Anyway, you are the one who came to me to find solace.

As we go through life, there are many times when even the smallest comfort can be of great help. I couldn’t pat her on the head like Rocca, I just pat her on the shoulder.

“Still, it’s a friendly match. Winning or losing doesn’t matter. Winners and losers will have something to gain.”

“This is nonsense. How can a kid who hasn’t been able to make his own mana powerhouse so strong yet? are you did you do something Do you have any secrets to becoming stronger?”

There is such a thing as a seedling of a lineage…

But it is a miracle that the angel warned against abuse. Now, I think I’m slowly getting to know the reason. A miracle that brings the future into the present. The process disappears, leaving only the result.

In the process, all things that should be obtained come to fruition. It may seem like nothing right now, but when it accumulates, it becomes a problem someday when you look beyond it.

His realm is not his own work, but the work of the seedlings, so it is not his own. Advancement to higher ground becomes more difficult than those without seedlings.

You can get great power quickly and easily. But if you rely too much on seedlings, you will definitely not reach the end.

Of course, if you don’t use seedlings, you won’t be able to reach it normally, so it’s not a huge disadvantage. Especially in times like these days.

‘I think I can survive that much.’

Before I leave, I should ask the people who are leaving to subdue the Shinigami whether they intend to use the seedlings. That is the best favour I can give them.

-It’s strange that those who have already been tainted cannot return to their original state, but it is not so with you. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to be tainted for a while. If you can come back, it is rather a means of survival.

Everything in the world has two sides. The angel clearly said. The advent of the god of pollution is not only a bad sign, but it may be a good thing in the future.

His view must contain more than mine, so his judgment is closer to the correct answer than us humans. If it were logical, I shouldn’t have helped the Shinigami be subjugated.

But the way is the will of the angels, not the will of the Lord.

Perhaps the best future the angel thinks is for all people to give up their resistance to the Shinigami and be meekly polluted. Contaminated things can be returned.

But who can say that people should give up their resistance and be docile?

I? Or the Lord? The Lord I know is the one who does not force such an answer in this choice. He always leaves a choice. In other words, it always gives humans a chance to make a choice.

Even if it was the best future for the Shinigami to devour the continent, even if it was a future that promises the least sacrifice, I didn’t want to convince people that way.

You couldn’t insist that they lay down their weapons and choose a tainted ending. People chose resistance with their free will. So what can I say?

I just do my best to help before I leave for my job.

Even if my body is broken, it will be able to withstand the use of seedlings of the strain a few times. Still, there’s still work to be done.

“Give me a hand.”

“yes? why the hand? Are you going to do something strange?”

Seeing Kisea-san who hesitated and did not extend her hand, I nodded. Right, that’s weird. Perhaps the strangest thing in the world.

Between my two hands, a seedling bloomed. A strange tree that brings forth fruitage without going through a buddha has sprouted. Where, what happens to Kisea’s branches remains to be seen.

“This is the secret to being strong… is it? I was just saying, did that really happen?”

After hesitating, Ms. Kisea, who put her hand on the seedling, trembled.
