21 – Saint Nerah’s Regret (2) – Doctrine
The god of the church to which Saint Nera belongs is Lachesis, the goddess of life, and she presides over peace, life, and charity. These are 3 things.
It is known that this goddess created everything in the world, and therefore, the main content of this doctrine was that all living things in this world cooperate with each other and live without conflict.
Of course, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a human or a demon, and under the doctrine that all creatures are descendants of the goddess Lachesis, even insignificant creatures were never to be treated carelessly.
Practice and follow it was the way to express faith in the goddess who made the world.
Nera, who has such a mindset, followed it very well.
And because she was like that, she couldn’t understand what the hero and the hero’s heir were saying.
“Allan. Then, let’s start the test for the successor of the hero. For now, goblins are said to be harassing people in the area. Kill them all.”
“Okay, Master.”
The golden-haired hero gave an order to the heir.
Killing the goblins was an ordinary word at first glance, but to Nera it was completely incomprehensible.
‘Killing a goblin…!?’
As I said before, the church’s doctrine states that all living things are equal and that they are good beings created by the Goddess.
And everyone has the right to be converted under the goddess. Even if it’s a goblin who went down a bad road for a while.
But you’re going to kill them right away without giving them a chance? As a follower of the Goddess, this was absurd.
But a hero who would do such a nonsensical thing would do it?
Of course, from her point of view, she couldn’t understand the warrior who broke the doctrine, and felt that she had to say something at this point.
Because of this, Ner’ah appeared in front of them huffing and puffing.
“Wait a minute…! What do you mean?”
“What is it? Who is it?”
A boy with black hair was taken aback by the sudden appearance.
The boy stared at Ner-ah and had no idea who it was.
However, once his mentor, the golden-haired warrior, recognized her for who she was.
“Huh? Isn’t this a saint? What happened to us?”
The hero bowed his head to the saintess and greeted her.
However, the saintess was so angry that she did not accept the rest of her greetings and continued to argue.
“No… Beating goblins to death…! They are also life, so why would you do such a thing?”
“…?”
At the saintess’s words, the hero and his successor put on dumbfounded faces.
The saintess continued to look at the two with a huff.
A moment of silence passed, and the one who spoke was the black-haired heir boy next to him.
“Hey. What are you talking about?”
In a tone that seemed to say that it was so absurd.
“According to the doctrine of the goddess, all living beings have the right to repent of their sins…! Not even giving them that opportunity…! This is unacceptable as a warrior.”
Nera was also puzzled.
Nera preached the doctrine to the hero and his successor.
“…?”
The black-haired boy who listened to the doctrine Nerah read to him…
It didn’t take long for the boy to make a face.
The boy looked at Nera with a very puzzled expression.
Then he spat out words that disrespected Nera.
“Is this carcinogenic lump a saint?”
“What? Have you finished talking?”
That made Nera quite angry.
A next-generation hero who obviously preached doctrine, but ignored it without even hearing it.
Looking at him like that, he couldn’t help but feel that he was corrupted.
Two people staring at each other without understanding each other like that.
These two growled and came close to fighting, but…
Thanks to the hero who laughed heartily at this, fortunately it didn’t turn into a fight.
“Ahahahaha.”
A golden-haired warrior who sees the two of them and smiles as if he’s seen a very funny play.
There were two people looking at the hero at the same time, and among them, the black-haired boy asked his teacher as if he was slightly annoyed.
“Master, what’s so funny?”
“No. It’s just fun. Ahahahaha. I’m sorry.”
A situation where one person laughs and the other grumbles.
For some reason Ner Ah herself seemed to be being fooled, so she tried to get her annoyed, but luckily she quickly let go of her anger.
Soon after, the hero was polite to her saintess and bowed her head to apologize.
“Saintess, you are right. We made a mistake. As warriors, we shouldn’t be seen.”
“Well…!
The apology that the hero gave to her saintess, Nera quickly got over her anger.
Whatever she did, the fact that she apologized meant that she felt remorse, and it was no different than fulfilling her duties as a saint.
“Huh… Really.”
Of course, the heir next to me still looked at me with a sad look, but…
It seemed that the situation would be resolved somehow.
Soon after, the hero bowed his head to apologize to her saintess and offered her a proposal.
“Hmm… Holy Lady. So, why don’t you go together with my heir, Allan, to solve the goblin problem?”
He said how about going to deal with the goblin problem together.
That was with his student Alan.
Why the hell did she say that to herself? The saintess tilted her head, but she immediately understood the reason.
“The goblin problem?”
“Yes. The goblins are all over the place right now. How about it? I’d rather go with my apprentice. In the meantime, please educate my apprentice.”
When she saw the warrior smiling at her, the saintess immediately recognized it.
Such an act meant to make that unlikely heir into a hero this time.
Knowing that, Nera was overjoyed.
“Okay…! I’ll take this opportunity to take the next fallen warrior with me.”
Nera accepted the hero’s words with a dignified expression on her face.
This was also her duty as a saint.
Even if the next hero looks very corrupt, it was the saintess’ duty to make the next hero like a hero.
And also, this time it was an opportunity to go out of the church.
She didn’t show it, but she was a nera who wanted to see the world outside of her this time.
This was a very good opportunity for her.

That’s why she gladly accepted, and her black-haired next hero, who was listening beside her, argued with her master as if she didn’t understand.
“No… Master. What the hell are you thinking about? Why are you attaching that carcinogen to me?”
“Uh huh…! Alan. You can’t spit out what your teacher says. And you’re a carcinogen to the saintess…! Then you can’t use it?”
“Haa… Really.”
At first, the next hero argued, but in the end, he had no choice but to listen to his master.
In the end, the boy who seemed to be the next hero accepted with a sigh and irritation.
Of course, Nera couldn’t understand what she was talking about, but she thought it was going in a good direction.
“Okay. Let me teach you something special. What is your duty as a warrior?”
“…”
That’s how the next hero, Alan and Nera’s party, was formed.
Now I’m on my way to dealing with the goblins.
There was a person who came to those two.
“No… Hero. What is this? Taking the saintess outside. That’s not okay…”
“Ah… Cardinal.”
The cardinal hurriedly ran in and began to stop the two of them.
Anyway, the cardinal didn’t want Nera to go outside.
That’s why Nerah thought she wouldn’t be able to go out anyway, so she tried to get a little depressed…
Fortunately, the hero solved the problem.
“Did you say cardinal? How is it? The saintess and the next hero are just going to kill the goblins.”
“No, but…”
“You’re talking too long? Cardinal, don’t you have any idea why we’re here? I’ve got a nice one… Can I show you?”
“… Ugh…”
“Would you like to talk to me quietly?”
The hero somehow solved the problem.
Looking at the documents that were shown in the arms of the warrior, the cardinal’s complexion turned blue, and he finally seemed to agree.
The two went into the waiting room quietly.
‘Looks like they’re on good terms.’
From Nerga’s point of view, she probably seemed to get along well.
Perhaps you want to talk about the Goddess in the reception room? She thought so
Anyway, only Nera and Alan were left here.
In this situation, Nerah reached out her hand to Allan first.
“Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Nera, the saint of the Church.”
“… Alan. That’s my name.”
That’s how the two greeted each other.
Unlike Nerah, who smiled brightly, Alan looked very upset, but the two of them headed straight to the goblin nest anyway.
@ @ @
It is said that the goblins here come down from the mountains and occasionally harm the villagers.
It was Nera and Alan’s purpose to solve this goblin’s nest.
With that purpose, Alan and Nera arrived at a mountain a short distance from the church. And I was able to find a goblin’s nest in the mountain.
‘Wow… They’re goblins…’
To be honest, Nerah didn’t like the goblins for the first time.
It was a child-like height, but it was a monster with green skin and a rather terrifying appearance.
Because of this, I instinctively felt a sense of rejection and was scared, but … Ner Ah calmly changed her mindset.
‘No… You can’t judge by appearance.’
Nerah chose not to have her prejudice.
All living things are descendants of the goddess Lachesis, and it was a very bad practice to judge any living creature by its appearance.
As a saint, Nera thought that all living things should be respected.
With that kind of heart, when Nerah was slowly observing the goblins.
Alan, who had been watching from her side, stood up. She
She And she walked towards the goblins with her sword in hand.
Nera was startled by that appearance and shouted.
“No… What are you doing?”
“Hey. Don’t be loud.”
“… What are you doing?”
“What are you doing?
The figure of Alan holding her sword, that’s why Ner Ah had an unbelievable heart.
As expected, Alan next to him seemed intent on killing the goblins.
So, of course, from Ner Ah’s point of view, she had no choice but to stop.
“No…! Such a barbaric thing…! Are you still a hero?”
“What?”
“I told you earlier. All living things live under the protection of Lachesis, the goddess of life. Even goblins, under Lachesis, they are all brothers and sisters, so to say that they use such violence…!”
As I said before, all monsters should be respected.
Even if it’s the goblins.
You should never start with violence…!
Nera’s sermon.
After hearing the sermon, Alan patted her head on her forehead.
Then he let out a deep sigh and asked Ner Ah.
“Then what do you want to do?”
“Please stay tuned. I will preach doctrine to the goblins and convince them not to do anything wrong…!”
At Alan’s question, Nerara gave a confident smile as if asking him to leave it to him.
Nera proudly stepped forward in front of the goblins.
“Now…! Goblins…! Please look over here.”
Nera stood in front of the goblins like that.
Nera’s sermon has begun.
“You have to be hurt to come to your senses.”
And then Alan sighed and watched.
