Chapter 75 – I will keep this grace in my heart.
Episode 74
Looking through Drakan’s body, I found the key to her cage.
…This bastard made it up.
I asked while opening the iron window.
“Are Drakan a bit smart by nature?”
“…Yes, most of the monsters called Garyong are highly intelligent. That aspect also resembles a dragon.”
Celine replied in a bewildered voice. Why such a reaction?
“What’s wrong, Celine?”
“…The hero is amazing.”
“Suddenly me?”
Nothing comes out even if you show it like that, Celine.
The iron bars, which were hard, opened easily when I put the key in and turned them. As soon as the barricade opened, Estelle ran right out. She said in an urgent voice, holding onto my body and examining me here and there.
“Abel, are you okay!? Wait, I’ll treat you right now…”
“…It’s okay, that hurts…Cool.”
“Abel!?”
“Hero!”
Uh…That hurts. Perhaps it was only natural that she received Drakan’s attack with her bare body.
Estel told me to sit down, and with the help of two people, I sat down. She infused her strong divine power into my body. Feeling the pain slowly go away. I feel it for a long time.
“Seriously…Don’t overdo it…”
“…Didn’t you trust me?”
“It is true that it was dangerous apart from what I believed. Really….”
Estel’s voice was full of concern for me. You don’t have to worry so much. I’m sorry for nothing
“I’ll try not to get hurt next time.”
“…Just don’t overdo it.”
“Still, Estelle is better than using that power.”
Estel asked me with a slightly surprised expression.
“How does Abel know that? Is it not good for me to borrow the power of the goddess?”
“Yes? I heard.”
“To whom?”
“Uh…”
…That’s right. Cardinal Antonio secretly told me only.
I slightly turned my head and averted my gaze. Estelle then narrowed her eyes and looked at me.
“Who are you? Cardinal John? Cardinal Antonio?”
“…Cardinal Antonio.”
“Haa… He also said such useless things…”
It’s not useless.
“Cardinal Antonio also said this because he was worried about Estelle. It’s not useless.”
“It is true that the more I use my divine power, the weaker my divine power is, but… Do you know how much divine power I am born with?”
“Don’t you know?”
How do I know that.
“I have to bring the Holy Father right now to be on par with me. How weak will I be if I lose a little bit of my holy power?”
“…Still, it’s not good to be weak.”
If you become weak, who will protect me?
“It should be bad, but it’s not more important than your life.”
“Uh…”
What, I was just a little bit moved.
“…Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes?”
“I think Estelle really cares about me too.”
“Wh, what…when did I do that!?”
“You did just that.”
“…No.”
No.
Estel’s face was strangely red as she was still using her hands for treatment. Because it’s cute.
#
Celine, who was by Abel’s side, bowed her head at him as she treated her.
“…Thank you for saving me, hero.”
“Yes? Ayy, that’s all I need to be thankful for. It was definitely something I had to do.”
“But…”
“If I had been locked up and Celine had been behind her bars, she would have tried to rescue me too. It’s the same thing.”
A different color stood in Celine’s red eyes.
What does this person believe and how does she conclude that she will act that way? He thinks so too, but my life might be more precious in that situation right now.
Whether Abel knew Celine’s thoughts or not, Abel continued her story.
“And since I usually get a lot of help, I should be helpful even at times like this.”
“I didn’t get much help…”
“A lot. I just can’t thank you one by one. You tell me everything I don’t know.”
Celine was the kind of person who couldn’t help but help her with that. Estelle’s divine power was inferior to Estelle’s, so she couldn’t bless her, and Abel was much better at her battles, so he was fine with it.
That’s why she did something to do with her hair, but Abel was expressing it as something she should be grateful for.
She was by Levius’ side, and although she did many things, it was a word she had never heard before.
“So I hope you don’t think of it as a debt. I have no intention of wiping out my debt to Estelle or Celine.”
“…Yes?”
“I saved you at will, please think so.”
Celine’s eyes were wide open before she knew it. After Levius helped her Celine, or rescued her others, she always wanted something in return.
If you don’t show gratitude and don’t give enough recompense, Levius will always show off his bad mood. That’s why I always had to show my gratitude to Levius…
Abel was different. It’s clear that Abel risked her life to save her, but she doesn’t want any reward. Rather, she said not to think that she was in debt, she was making the person she helped feel at ease.
‘…They are very different.’
The corner of Celine’s mouth went up by itself. She smiled softly and comfortably and smiled at Abel.
“Really…”
“Yes?”
Celine put her hands together in the center of her chest. And as if she were praying, she said.
“…I will cherish this grace in her heart.”
“There is no need for that…”
“It’s not that I think it’s a debt. I want to keep the good heart that the warrior gave me.”
Celine smiled. Abel looked at her with a beautiful, unaffected smile and said,
“…I’m not that nice.”
“Then most people in this world will go to hell.”
“Aren’t you exaggerating too much?”
Abel looked at Celine with her bewildered eyes, and when she met his eyes, Celine smiled lightly.
“Puha, is that so?”
“Yes. If that happens, Estelle right next to me will also go to hell…”
“What are you talking about, Abel?”
“…Just kidding.”

After receiving Estelle’s treatment, I was able to get up right away. As expected, it’s the finest potion, Estelle.
“Do you want to leave the dungeon now? I don’t think there are any more monsters left…”
“But just in case you don’t know, let’s go to that road where Drakan appeared. There may be monsters left.”
“Yes.”
Estelle told me to rest and she stepped forward herself. The training is enough.
I admit it honestly. How many monsters did you catch today?
“….”
Watching Estelle walking proudly in front of me, I felt something strange. I should say that it felt like a woman who was much smaller than me had stepped in front of me saying she would protect me.
Of course, Estelle has the ability to do that, but considering this situation alone.
…I don’t like something.
“Estel.”
“Yes?”
“Excuse me.”
“Wow!?”
As expected, it is light.
I grabbed Estelle by the waist and lifted it up, and both Celine and Estelle, who were following me, looked at me in surprise.
“Hero…?”
“Oh, Abel? Why are you doing this all of a sudden!?”
“…Something I want to go to the front.”
…I can’t do anything evil with my woman as a shield!
“Yes? I told you to rest. You don’t have to train anymore.”
“I do, but…but I will go to the front.”
Originally, it is national rule for a healer to stand behind a warrior. Estelle looked at me with the kind of strange stubbornness she had.
“Why are you doing that? And this, let go of this…”
From noble mtl dot com.
“I don’t like being a man and hiding behind my woman.”
“…Yes, heh!?”
Uh, I think I bit my tongue.
As expected, Estelle frowned and suffered. I put her down behind her and said.
“I stand in front. Any complaints?”
Estelle blushed and listened as she argued with me.
“Why, why am I Abel? I’ve never been possessed by a crap like Abel…”
“Yes? Then it’s not mine, but who’s?”
“That, that’s… Well.”
Estel couldn’t deny it. She gave me all of her first kisses and her first experiences and I can’t deny it.
Anyway, you act cute.
I picked up the holy sword again and stepped forward. I heard Estelle muttering something behind her, but she can’t hear.
…Now that I think about it, I can hear things like water and footsteps, but why can’t I hear people’s voices? Go bugeun
As we continued to move forward, we came to a dead end. Exactly what room was there.
“Where did Drakan live?”
“I guess so? There are even scales on the floor.”
Celine said, showing me the translucent scales.
“I guess this is the last room.”
“Shall we go inside?”
“We’ve come this far…Let’s go inside, shall we? Seeing that the monsters haven’t been seen so far, I don’t think there’s anything there.”
What?
I thought it was empty when I saw it from the outside, but when I went inside, there were many things. Various weapons, gold coins, jewels… And even a big box.
“…What is all this?”
“The monsters living in the dungeon must have stolen things from people. I don’t even use these things, but it seems like they were taking care of them like trophies.”
Estel explained in a voice of slight disgust.
So, did they bring these armor and sword-like weapons from the people they killed and put them on display… They are vicious guys.
“How do I dispose of it?”
“Actually, these items are the spoils of the person who cleared the dungeon. So, Abel, you can dispose of it however you like.”
“Um…”
Of course, it must be difficult to find out who owns each item. Then….
“We donate weapons that look useful to the Bourbon City Police Department. I’d like to donate gold coins or jewelry to a place like an orphanage. What do you think?”
It’s not my money or my stuff anyway. I think this is the right response.
Estelle nodded her head.
“…Yes, I do.”
As if she liked my decision, she also had a slightly pleasant voice. Also, this was the correct answer.
“How about the armor worn by the hero?”
“Yes? My armor is fine.”
“It certainly seemed like that until a while ago, but I don’t think it is now.”
As Celine said, she pointed to my armor. Exactly the belly part.
“…Ah, that’s right.”
The stomach part of the armor was distorted from being hit by Drakan earlier. hahahaha.
“At least the armor would be fine. Even the dead will be happy if the hero writes for them.”
“…Yes.”
I accepted Celine’s suggestion and changed into one of the armors in the room. Surprisingly well managed. Is it a rust-resistant material?
…Or maybe it’s the armor that’s just been stuck in this room.
Estelle still had her gold coins and jewels in a sack that could be used as her purse. I see quite a lot like that.
I asked Celine.
“But what is this?”
“Um…Well. It looks like there’s something in it.”
What I asked for was a large box with other items. It looks like a treasure chest.
“Shall we open it?”
“Sure. But what if I didn’t hear anything?”
“Ah, no way. I put it in a place like this, but nothing is there.”
Estelle stood up, straightening her back as if she had taken all the gold coins. I gestured to her with her box half open.
“Estel, what do you think is going on here?”
“Yeah?…Wait, Abel? Do you know what it is and open it?”
“Yes? Just a box… huh?”
When I was almost done opening the box, light suddenly came out of the box.
“Ugh!?”
“Wow!”
“Abel?!”
A bright light emitted from the box enveloped Celine.
#
“…Abel? Celine?”
Abel and Celine disappeared from their seats in an instant, as if they had been sucked into a box with pure white light.
Estelle hurriedly approached her box, saw something in her, and shook her shoulders startled.
There was nothing in the box. Instead, something was drawn on the floor.
Estel, who was left alone, muttered in a voice clear of embarrassment.
“…Transfer magic?”
