37 – Sanctuary of Hybras (4)
If there was one good change after entering the Sanctuary of Hybras, it was that there was no need for an on-watch watch.
Now that we were safe from beasts and monsters that attacked us at any time, all we had to do was sleep comfortably in our room.
Once you lose it, you will know. Sufficient sleep time was extremely precious.
Even looking back now, the night watch was too harsh on a trip with just the two of us.
I promised myself that the next time I go on a road, I will definitely get travel equipment.
With magic imprinted on it.
Anyway, my fatigue was gone, so I started my day with physical training.
As a patient, being locked in a room didn’t suit my personality, and my physical strength tended to decrease if I didn’t exercise every day.
For my body to grow, an environment where I could eat well and rest was enough.
I don’t know if it should be called a lodging, but there happened to be a suitable vacant lot near the building where I was staying, so I ended up using it as a parade ground.
Since the environment was prepared, there was no reason not to try. Even at this moment, my future enemies would not be idle.
‘Even if you become a sword master, you cannot be conceited. ‘You should feel like you’re at the starting line.’
The original novel of this world was a reverse harem story.
That means it was a novel that prioritized character, and the female lead’s reverse harem was filled with all kinds of male leads like trophies.
They all have fancy titles such as Grand Wizard and Sword Saint.
There was no time to rest even for a moment as I had to deal with such enemies someday.
I had to surpass even the original Rajen.
After running for a while, I was wiping off the water I had washed my body with.
As I was wiping my back with a towel, I heard a slightly sulky voice coming from behind me.
“I knew it would be like this. “I told you to rest well until I leave.”
Sirien was glaring at me with her dissatisfied eyes.
My cheeks were slightly swollen, and it seemed like I was on the verge of pouting.
I knew I would get nagged, but I never thought I would get angry like that right away.
“I heard this is okay.”
“But you promised me. I could run after receiving treatment…….”
“Stop because the morning air is cool.”
“Profit!”
Sirien got grumpy at my unreasonable answer.
A small hand hit my back hard.
The sound of “Cwaak” Rang out cheerfully, and my back felt as if it was on fire.
“It’s a punishment for not listening.”
“Are your hands a little numb?”
“If you hit him gently, he won’t act like it hurts.”
“Hmm.”
Even when he was very angry, he would throw a cotton fist.
Before I knew it, I had grown to the point where I could get slapped on the back that hurt even when I got hit.
It seemed like I had raised a wild beast.
Well, Sirien’s concerns were not groundless. Because there was definitely still poison left in my body.
After trying to move as much as I could, I felt a sense of discomfort in my arms and legs.
While I was lying down, my stamina seemed to have decreased, and I was out of breath early, and although it was slightly, it felt like my body was not moving as I wanted.

Still, it was only a little. At this rate, a few days. It seemed like everything would be better by tomorrow at the earliest.
It may have been natural that she received recovery to the extent that it was said that the saint of the church ‘poured out all her divinity’.
It is said that Hybras’s divinity has the worst compatibility with the healing world, but efficiency was somehow solved in the face of overwhelming quantities.
Just like this.
“Hybras. Please give me your lamp.”
After a little scuffle, I sat down with my back to Sirien.
Sirien placed her hands on my back and said her calm prayer.
Starting from the place where her hand touched, a warm energy spread throughout her body.
The divine power that came into me spread slowly, like paint spreading through water, but it very carefully touched each and every place it touched.
Whether it is mana or divine power, all energy contains the user’s will.
The reason Sirien’s divine power is so careful and considerate must be a reflection of her personality.
“It feels like the wound is almost completely healed, but…… “It’s not a cure after all.”
“I was injured by a monster of that size, but I will get better easily this way. “It’s okay if it takes a while for treatment, so there are no aftereffects.”
“Ugh. That would probably be okay. “They say the spider’s thoughts were so strong that it became half a curse.”
“That’s a little creepy.”
Sirien poured her divine power for over ten minutes before releasing her hand.
At that time, my body was filled with warmth. Sirien patted my back from behind.
“Tsk, it’s done. “How does she feel better?”
“Thanks. “She feels a lot better than before.”
“Hee. “She is learning diligently.”
The corners of the mouth gently rise. These days, Sirien seems to be more vulnerable to praise than she used to be.
She couldn’t hide her joy as she flipped her hair to the side, feeling embarrassed.
Sirien got up first and grabbed my arm.
“Let’s go outside now! I haven’t even looked around all of this place. “I wanted to go with you!”

About ten people, including us, lived in the sanctuary of Hybras.
In fact, it could not be said to be a properly organized denomination.
Only the guardians continue to do the work of the church, the rest are no better than ordinary people.
A few believers lived in a very small village.
Even those who work at the religious denomination have only recently begun reorganization.
Due to the lack of people, one person often took on multiple roles.
The woman in front of me was like that.
“You saw it once yesterday, right? This is Melissa. Right now, I am the only nun, and I have decided to serve her exclusively. “I will also help you with Razen’s work.”
“This is Razen. Please take good care of me in the future, Sister.”
“Please speak lower. I heard that you are the count’s son. “It may not be enough, but I will serve you with all my heart.”
“Melissa is the one who cooks our meals. “That soup from yesterday.”
“Ah, it was a good meal.”
Melissa was a middle-aged person with a quiet appearance.
At first glance, he appears to be in his early to mid 40s. She had a gentle smile along the wrinkles around her mouth.
Yesterday I was wearing a believer’s uniform, but today I was wearing a nun’s uniform.
I could not feel any signs of age on the clothes. Perhaps Sirien started making clothes after he was baptized.
It seemed like I was in a hurry to finish it and wear it only today.
Even after finishing her brief greeting, Melissa went around the building and cleaned up.
Sirien stopped by her restaurant and took out her apples. She walked as if they were taking a walk together, making a crunching sound.
“This is the vegetable garden. Is it bigger than you think? “It’s a place where we all take care of it together.”
The appearance of the garden was not much different from what I usually see.
A fence lower than her knees, as if erected to separate the fields. Beautiful green sprouts were growing on the carefully tilled soil.
Sirien squatted down and touched the sprout leaves with his fingers.
“Do you know that it’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a small sprout? “There were only fully grown flowers in the garden.”
“But in the back garden, new plants were planted every spring.”
“Yes. I saw it last spring, so it’s been a year since I saw it. The sprouts are small and cute. “It’s so small now, but how does it grow so big every fall?”
It seems that Sirien had forgotten that there was a time when she was very small, and that she is still quite small now.
She felt strange, as if she was seeing her little boy who thought he was an adult.
I had to control my mouth because my back was numb from the hit I made earlier.
Hands gently caressing the buds in case they get damaged. Sirien stood up after looking at the garden to her satisfaction.
The next place she was headed to was the temple. The most gorgeous place in this corner.
This was also the place she came to be baptized yesterday.
The inside of the temple was not much different from what I had seen before, but it was my first time entering the chapel or prayer room.
It was a quiet and simple space without anything flashy.
I didn’t think I would go there often, so I kept it to myself. After offering Sirien and one of her scented candles, he returned.
“There’s something fun about this. “It feels like the two of you are having an adventure.”
“You’ve done a lot of adventures. “Aren’t you sick of it now?”
“Ugh. That wasn’t an adventure. “Adventures should be fun.”
“Is this a children’s fairy tale?”
“What’s wrong with fairy tales? I like fairy tales. Anyway, Rajen has always been like an old man.”
My eyes opened wide.
What a young old man. You’re still just a child!
The words of rebuttal rose to the top of my throat, but I quickly heard them as sad.
I couldn’t bring myself to do that. As a person possessed, I didn’t want to argue with a kid that age about this topic.
Well, that was too ugly in my opinion…….
On the way out of the temple, I met a little boy.
It was a kid named Luan.
He is about eight years old at most. She was a child of her age, with a bright and innocent appearance.
The playful expression on his face made him seem like a troublemaker just as bad as Therion.
It was surprising that there was a child in a place like this, but what was even more surprising was how brazen and rude kids these days have grown up to be.
After briefly saying hello, this was the first question the kid named Luan asked.
“But what is the relationship between you and your older brother? Is she dating?”
“What, what what what…… What?”
Sirien broke down at her kid’s words.
