Episode. 02 People seek God when they are in trouble (3)
Richard’s exclusive maid, Merry, couldn’t hide her confusion. Why is the young master heading to the dormitory with him?
‘What kind of situation is this?’
When Richard said he would help, she doubted her ears.
Isn’t that a very inappropriate word for a notorious brat?
However, without Mary having to say anything, she couldn’t bear to refuse as Richard shoved her on the back asking her to give directions.
‘What are you trying to do… … ?’
What Richard was hiding inside, Mary couldn’t understand at all.
‘Still, I think you’ve changed a lot these days.’
I worked hard at the training I hadn’t done before, and I didn’t do any bad things that I’ve been doing lately.
The unique violent atmosphere was also completely changed.
But even so, Mary couldn’t calm her anxiety.
The wounds she had to endure as the lady-in-waiting of the young master were deep, and there were countless tears shed.
Even in the midst of that, I couldn’t stop my steps, and I arrived at my destination before I knew it.
When I opened the door, there was a pale woman lying on the bed.
“Um… … .”
Perhaps awakened by a sudden noise, the woman groaned and opened her eyes.
“mother!”
“merry? What are you doing at this hour… … Coke!”
Blood flowed from the woman’s mouth.
Merry tried to hold back the loss of her heart, and introduced Richard, who was standing there idly by.
“This is Master Richard, whom I serve. He said he wanted to check on his mother’s condition… … .”
“ah!”
After learning Richard’s true identity, the woman hurriedly tried to stand up.
Richard waved his hand.
“Okay… … No, that’s okay. lay down.”
Somewhere clumsy.
But the way he looked at the woman was quite serious.
“You look very bad. What did the senator say?”
In the end, he even asked questions about his illness.
“The Senator said there was no hope… … .”
Mary’s mother, Melaine, replied in a timid tone.
Then he turned and looked at his daughter.
Her daughter’s emaciated figure, as emaciated as herself, caught her eyes.
“Princess Richard. Please take good care of our Mary. please… … .”
Mary burst into tears as she bowed her head to Richard as if she had already given up on life.
Even Melin, who had been holding back her tears, started shaking her shoulders from then on.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy.
The air was so stuffy, mingled with the smell of medicine and sadness.
“If you’re worried about your daughter being left alone, you shouldn’t die.”
Richard approached Meline.
He got down on one knee, at eye level, and put his hand on top of Melaine’s.
“… … young master?”
What are you trying to do?
It was time for Mary and Melaine to cast questioning glances.
Pure white light flowed from Richard’s hand.
“This light… … ?”
For a moment, even when Melin was startled by the sudden strange phenomenon, she had no choice but to close her eyes at the warmth she felt all over her body.
It felt as if my mind and body, exhausted from the disease, were stabilizing.
“how is it. is it better? The condition is very slight, but it should have improved.”
Richard withdrew his hand and smiled.
Mary and Melin gave him a look that he couldn’t believe.
Even those who have never held a sword in their lives know what mana is.
So I could say for sure.
The light flowing from Richard just now wasn’t like mana.
But what mattered now was the ability it had rather than the identity of the light.
“Bye, did you say your condition has improved?”
Mary asked in a trembling voice.
Melaine’s condition was so serious that even the doctor shook her head.
However, the condition improved in an instant.
She looked at Meline with watery eyes. And it was confirmed that Richard’s words were not lies.
A little bit of blood had returned to Melin’s pale complexion.
“oh my god… … .”
Mary stared at Melin for a long time before kneeling down to Richard.
“Do, Bocchan! Please save my mother! I will do anything you ask, please!”
Has earnestness overcome fear?
There was no hesitation in Mary’s eyes as she begged Richard.
All I could do was beg for my mother to be saved.
“merry! stop! What are you doing to the young boy… … .”
It was when Melaine, seeing her daughter on her knees, hurriedly got out of bed.
said Richard quietly.
“merry. wake up.”
Richard raised the fallen Mary to her feet.
Then he raised his finger towards the sky.
“I am not the one who will grant your wish. I am just a substitute.”
cheap-
A warm light illuminated the room.
Merry looked up and looked at Richard.
His body was wrapped in a halo.
“ah… … Ahh… … .”
As I looked at it, tears flowed for no reason.
“God, pray to Hor. That’s all you have to do.”
◈ ◈ ◈
the next morning.
As soon as I woke up, I could see system windows splattering the air.
『Mary prayed earnestly』
『Meline prayed earnestly』
『Acquire a total of 60 faith』
『Vitality and luck abound to those who pray』
“at las… … !”
Finally I have a believer.
Even two at a time.
This incident was like a ray of light that fell on the desperate supply and demand of faith.
“If you get something, you have to give it back.”
I immediately checked my remaining faith.
Total 660.
Excluding the 50 faith I used to impress Mary and Melin last night, it was quite enough.
smart-
“young master. This is Mary.”
“okay. come in.”
Just in time, Mary brought the meal.
She said that she was full of vitality and luck, but today her expression looked pretty good.
I pretended not to know and asked.
“How about it, did you do what I said yesterday?”
“yes yes! I prayed. So earnestly, I prayed to God Horra for hours just like my mother!”
Mary replied as if she had been waiting.
How earnest those eyes were.
It was impossible not to know what she was looking for right now.
“I don’t have to do that much.”
The key to prayer is how sincere it is.
well, how is it?
I grabbed a glass of water and focused.
『Gives 10 Faith to the object.』
『Even weakly, it possesses the properties of the lowest class holy water.』
As always, faith is an all-powerful force.
If you put faith in a sword, it becomes a holy sword, and if you put faith in water, it becomes holy water.
“God heard your wish. Your religiosity is still insignificant, but He wants to show mercy.”
“yes?”
Mary with a puzzled expression.
I handed her a glass of water.
“This is the water containing his power. It has a great effect on those suffering from illness. For the next twenty days, give your mother the water I give you.”
Mary was completely lost.
It seemed embarrassing to suddenly be given some water.
He forced a glass of water into her hand.
“If you’re worried about me messing around with the water, you can drink it yourself. Whatever it is, I can drink it.”
I didn’t forget the fact that what I’m wearing right now is the body of a madman.
Should I show him drinking right in front of me?
“Oh no! This water is what I just brought. But really… … Can my mother really get well if I drink this?”
“Why don’t you go check it out while you’re at it?”
“… … .”
Mary looked down at her glass, bowed her head, and left the room.
The sound of hasty footsteps gradually receded from beyond the door.
From what I checked yesterday, it seemed that the amount of faith required to heal Melain was about 200.
You have to show the effect right away like this so that you will pray hard in the future.
You may become a believer sooner than you think.
“good. This is the fisher of men.”
I ate and organized what I had to do today.
First of all, mana insensitivity.
『Cures the target’s ‘mana insensitivity’.』
『’Mana insensitivity’ is being alleviated.』
Although not a believer, he used 50 faith to celebrate the birth of two believers at last.
Unfortunately, there are no signs of a cure yet.
“Where is this anyway?”
I felt the mana wriggling in my heart more clearly.
As with faith, the more mana was known, the more unfamiliar and mysterious it was.
◈ ◈ ◈
headed to the gymnasium.
Today is the day of the state meeting.
So, I decided to start training earlier than usual.
The eyes of the knights stuck to me as I warmed up. It’s not a big deal because I’ve felt tired of it.
“hook! Whoop!”
With a moderately relaxed body, he ran vigorously along the perimeter of the gymnasium.
Thanks to absorbing the energy of the remaining elixir, his constitution improved, and his body became infinitely lighter.
“young master. The gaju meeting will start soon.”
After running for a while, Aaron gave me the news.
“Tell me when the time is roughly over. And a bottle of wine, please, the finest.”
“Wine, you mean?”
Aaron stared at me.
“… … i’m not drinking I’m going to see the person who will become my teacher.”
“Are you talking about Master?”
Aaron, who is jumping with me at some point.
he thought deeply. Then I opened my eyes wide.
“Are you referring to Lord Balak?”
“okay.”
I thought it would fit too.
The wandering swordsman, Balak.
Balak is participating in this California meeting. I remembered this meeting well because it was the beginning of a huge story.
“Come to think of it, it is unusual for someone other than the head of the household to attend the meeting.”
“Because he is such a powerful person.”
Will the influence be strong?
It was not a waste to say that the force was also omnipotent. And he had such an eccentric personality.
“As far as I know, Lord Balak has been looking for disciples all his life, but he is famous for not accepting disciples… … .”
I glanced at Aaron, who was speechless.
From noble mtl dot com
“hahahaha, how come you seem to be saying, ‘You’re going to be in the eyes of that picky gentleman?’”
“Could it be?”
Pretending not to be the case, he started running far ahead.
‘That’s not a big mistake.’
Balak has been looking for a lumber to become a disciple for a long time, but he hasn’t taken in a disciple yet.
That alone could explain just how high Balak’s Eye was.
‘It’s only natural that his eyes are high.’
He is the heir to the swordsman who has been passed down from generation to generation as a one-man warrior, and the strongest swordsman who is on par with the head of the family.
The disciples he recruits will soon be the successors of the One-Man Succession, so no one will ever accept them.
‘One, I’m different.’
Opinion into fate, fate into fate.
The relationship between Balak and Richard, which originally would not have been concluded, was not difficult enough to twist it.
