My head hurts and my stomach hurts.
“How can you cause problems one after another?”
I sigh. Recently, I’ve been relying on stomach medicine and headache medicine. The medicine prescribed by the royal magician is very bad and difficult to drink, but it works well. If I could, I wouldn’t want to rely on something like this, but recently the saints have been doing things here and there, and I’m going to collapse if I don’t drink it.
Finally, Iris Stookey’s graduation ceremony was over, and for a while she had come to the point where she had been quiet with her new fiancee. But I was only relieved for a moment. Next, Alice Scarlett, who is called the saint of the dawn, started to make a big fuss.
The content of the fuss is that her favorite priest is used for another saint’s selfishness that is not very urgent and does not come back. Apparently, Alice liked the priest who was an orphan. The reason seems to be that he eats her original homemade food with a smile as if it’s delicious, but well, that doesn’t matter.
Priests who are originally orphans have a low position, and there is no problem no matter which saint uses it. That’s why it’s normal for another saint to use Alice’s favorite priest, but it’s confusing that she doesn’t like that , Luna Hoshino Stuki, a saint from another world used her favorite priest.
But she didn’t order it directly.
When I listened to the story of why a troublesome priest who made a big fuss prevented him from coming back, it seems that it began when Luna told the priest, a child of a nobleman, that she wanted to use honey and beeswax for beauty with a very light feeling. Apparently, in Luna’s world, it was popular to make cosmetics with such things.
Luna is interested in beauty, and there is no problem in thinking about new beauty methods and spreading it in this world, but Luna seems to be unfamiliar with the common sense of this world because she came from another world. Normally, Luna also needs education by a priest as a saint, but she is old, has a lot of knowledge even if she has different common sense, and there is no inconvenience in exchanging words, so the priest of the temple does not know.
Originally, priests are also in a rather unusual environment of the temple, so common sense is often different from the general public. It is difficult for people who don’t know common sense to teach common sense. However, it is decided that the custody of the saint must be done in the temple.
The story was different, but in the end, even though the combination of common sense was not going well, the priest from the aristocracy told me that the honey and beeswax of monsters might have a higher beauty effect. It seems that this priest’s relatives have become alchemists, and they talked about what they heard like common sense.
If that’s the case, it’s natural to want to use it, but the problem is that monster honey and beeswax are terribly expensive and rare. In addition, when the maga is active, there is no one to go to the mountains to collect it, and such materials will be scarce. Sure enough, the priest relied on his relative alchemist, but he couldn’t get it.
Still, because he told the saint, he couldn’t say that he couldn’t be able to get it because of pride, so he ordered Alice’s favorite orphan priest to go into the mountain and pick it up.
I want to say that it’s already stupid at this point. Because the maga is active, there is no way that a mere priest can pick up honey that no one can get without entering the mountain. Even so, he was told to collect it even if he died, so he had no choice but to go, so it seems that he was traveling with a knight.
Alice was furious when she found out that she had forced her favorite priest to go on a journey that might get him killed. Moreover, the reason is for beauty.
And I knew for a long time that Luna was kept a distance from other saints due to the difference in common sense, but because of Alice’s anger, she was further distanced.
It is difficult to purify the maga with the power of one saint, so there are many cases where multiple people respond. However, there was no one who tried to purify with Luna who was kept at a distance.
I wish I could at least show Luna’s high ability, but the idea of that priest from the aristocracy also caused a problem in another part.
The knight who was escorting Luna took a long break and left with the priest who was sent to collect honey and beeswax. Luna’s world seems to have been a pretty safe world, and she is even more peaceful than other saints, and she has no idea of fighting. Therefore, I attached a knight who was stronger than anyone else as a guard at the request of the crown prince, but he left his duty from a sense of responsibility saying that he could be fired.
Thanks to that, it has become very difficult to take Luna safely to the place of the maga, and she hasn’t been able to go on a purification trip. For that reason, the voices questioning Luna’s ability also began to rise.
This is a really strong trend.
There are many wonderful things that Luna can think of using the knowledge of another world. But not everyone knows that, and what’s more important than that is how much purification can be done. Now she’s under the protection of the crown prince and the duke’s family, so the position won’t wobble that much, but I don’t know what will happen in the future if she doesn’t go on a purification journey.
And the position of the Crown Prince, who was re-engaged to Luna.
“It can’t be helped. Together with Iris, let’s have Luna purify the maga that appeared in the nearest place. Both have strong purification ability, so they can manage it together. I want to increase the number of guards than normal saints. Let’s also make a good argument to the crown prince.”
“Is the Thomas territory not allowed to be the purification place? If you send a saint here, it will be difficult to purify if you don’t send a considerable number of people, and there was also be an emergency request from Count Thomas to the temple.”
The priest pointed to the map and explained, but I put my hand on the damaged head.
“……It’s too far away, and I’m worried about guarding. Because extermination of monsters is a little different from an interpersonal escort. If other saints are also sent, knights and magicians will be needed there, and Luna will not be able to raise her standing. It can’t be helped because we don’t have a system to take the two safely to the place of the maga. This is because the priest’s education is lacking, and the saint is not under management.”
Whether you’re annoyed or not, that’s the truth.
Iris and Luna are powerful saints who can’t be damaged. It is an absolute condition to protect the two people’s safety, assuming that a maga occurs in the royal capital.
“I’ve heard about the urgency of Thomas’s territory. If you escort and take a few saints together, won’t you be able to manage? You’ll learn how to protect yourself even if you can’t fight, right? Ms. Luna doesn’t even try it.”
“But if you do that, there is a risk that the relationship between the saints, Iris, and Luna will get worse.”
It seems to me that there is no way to get any worse even though it has already deteriorated considerably, but from the priest’s point of view, it seems that there is still more than this.
Even though she is a saint, it will be difficult to blame Luna, the crown prince’s fiancée and saint. It’s obviously insane like Alice’s case this time, and if she does something heartless, they may point it out.
“This world is not equal. It can’t be helped that Luna and Iris, who are highly capable, are treated preferentially than other saints. However, I don’t know if Alice will get angry this time. Instead of stopping Luna from doing something outside of common sense, she encouraged her. If you make a good quality beauty cream and distribute it to other saints, you may be able to get along a little, but if Alice’s favorite priest dies, the restoration of the relationship with Alice of the Marquis family will be hopeless. Why did you give such a reckless order?”
If there is a rumor that she will cut the lives of the people for beauty, the name of the saint from another world will be hurt. She’s not just a saint, but the princess of the crown prince, so she has to be extra careful about bad reputation.
“That’s…”
“It may be very important for the priest to get along with the saint, but if you don’t teach the common sense of this world properly, Luna will be in trouble. If she didn’t know, it will become something she is sorry about later.”
The priest doesn’t say anything because I am talking at the request of the crown prince, but his dissatisfaction is oozing from his face. There is a section where they think that they are in a higher position because they think that the temple can change the head of the royal family as much as they want. The temple, where they can decide where to prioritize the purification of the maga, has such a strong voice.
That’s why they don’t like people below them to tell them about their inner working.
However, since the Crown Prince and Luna are engaged this time, as the Crown Prince’s fiancee, we are also in a position to interfere in terms of the safety of Luna so that she doesn’t get a bad reputation. Even the temple is the same that they don’t want to stain the name of the powerful saint from another world.
Because the amount of maga has increased too much, it is said that the saint from another world will be summoned by God’s will. That’s why it’s practically impossible for the temple to eliminate her.
The temple and the saint are full of trouble.
I sighed again.
The church is definitely more of a bad guy than the saints.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
