“What, what is going on?”
“They seem to misunderstand us as suspicious people.”
“Yes?”
Karina looked at me with a surprised expression. Shocked that she was somehow mistaken for a suspicious person…
“Why are you nodding?”
“Uh… aren’t we suspicious?”
At Karina’s words, I froze while staring at her. Karina also made eye contact with me as if asking why. The smile on her lips was truly lovely, but the words spoken a little before that.
After hearing it, I don’t think it’s wrong.
A drifter, a durahan, a saint, and an escort knight. It was a bizarre combination.
Even in a fantasy novel, if you put together a combination like this, you’ll be scolded for saying what kind of crazy combination this is, and if you put it in a game, you’ll be scolded for being a dead end combination. Ah, in a deep and dark dungeon, it might be a pretty good combination. I’m glad I didn’t possess it. I don’t want to be a family with the ruins. Or get sucked in by the ancestors.
“I don’t think we can dock the ship without convincing the guards.”
“It’s difficult…”
Why are my eyes looking at me? I was puzzled by Karina’s glare at me, but belatedly remembered a fact and understood it.
Come to think of it, she was hiding that she was a saint, right?
Since she has pink hair and odd eyes, which are the hallmarks of a saint, the guards will change their stance as soon as she steps out, but it seems a bit burdensome to reveal her identity to Milia and me. I understand.
The difference between the status of an ordinary priest and a saint was the difference between raising your head straight and bowing down.
We don’t like to bow our heads when we know that we are saints.
“Karina. My attitude of hiding something will not change, so you can reveal it to your heart’s content.”
“Huh? What were you hiding?”
“Uh, that’s…”
“Did you hide something to eat without our knowledge?”
Carina smiled at Millia’s nonsense.
“No. I… Actually…”
Karina revealed her identity to us. She seems to be a saint of Calonism herself. That she’s sorry for cheating. She said that if she stepped out herself, she would be able to enter the port without problems.
It wasn’t surprising since she already knew it, but she pretended to be surprised out of courtesy.
“Oh, that’s right. It was a great-only-one person.”
“Captain is so awkward!”
I know very well that I’m not good at acting, so don’t imitate me. Karina and Lenny, who was standing behind her, were also on the verge of bursting at the corners of their mouths twitching.
“These bastards! Make an appearance! If you don’t reveal it, I’ll burn it completely!”
“Karina.”
“…Yes!”
As soon as I finished my words, Karina appeared to the people.
After all, a saint is a saint? When she appeared, the mood in the port changed dramatically.
Surprise, surprise, relief, joy.
The people standing at the port were so agitated that I could see them opening their mouths all at once.
The saintess is a wonderful being.
As long as everyone reacts like that. Well, this world is different from where I lived, and countries where the power of religion is quite strong are so strong that they can’t even show a business card, so it’s understandable that they react like that.
Of course, it’s not to the extent that an incident like the Avignon captivity would happen.
“Captain, but what is a saint?”
“The High One.”
“Can the sky fly?”
“It’s roughly a princess.”
“Ah! I understand!”
You understand, right?
I turned my gaze away from Milia, who was staring at Carina’s back with strange eyes, and looked at the still blue sea.
The sea water is so blue.
——————–
“Lady Karina! I’m glad you’re okay!”
You look like you’re selling indulgences.
“Yes?”
Ah.
“Nothing…”
Oh, I messed up again. Fortunately, the fat priest, who looked like he was about to shout Make Calon Great Again, didn’t seem to understand what I was saying.
Looks like there are no indulgences here. Well, it’s a world where gods descend directly, and if you’re caught doing that, God will personally destroy the guy who offered you indulgence.
…For anything like that, the Kalon Bridge is a place where any route diverges into various ways.
The fat priest with her half-naked head looked at me curiously, then withdrew her gaze, then looked at Karina admiringly, then opened her mouth.
“Heh heh, Lady Karina. This person is?”
“It’s a bit long to go into detail…You’re the one who saved me.”
“Ah, you are the one who saved Karina-sama!”
Even though he looks mean, is he a priest with a good personality? I smiled awkwardly at the priest who took my hand and waved it up and down. The priest also returned an evil smile to my smile.
Uh, it’s just a smile, right?
You’re not thinking of an evil plan, are you?
“I’m sorry if you didn’t like the way I waved.”
“…No.”
What is it? I didn’t do anything
Why does Lenny tap my side and say it’s impression blood? I couldn’t quite understand it.
I’m not handsome, but it’s a bit too much to say something with a smile on my face.
“Priest Pierre. Can we come on a long boat and dine with the mayor?”
“Heh heh, of course there is! Rize! I will guide Karina-sama and her guests to the dining room, no, to the public bath before that!”
“I am grateful to Archpriest Pierre for his kindness.”
“Heh heh, no.”
Priest Peir stroked his long beard and smiled kindly. Nice guy… Right?
Usually a priest with a face like that has a plan, isn’t it? To be honest, I want to go to the academy in peace.
“Okay, Mr. Pierre. Miss Karina. And guests. Please follow me.”
We quietly followed behind Rize.
————-
Hey, like the biggest religion in the world of Survival Academy, the public bath is awesome.
Since I am renting out a huge bathhouse by myself, I think I need to make a lot of money. It’s a secret romance to make a big bathtub at home and take a leisurely bath. I was only a college student in Korea, so I couldn’t even dream of such a thing, but it’s possible if you have money here.
…But first of all, we have to survive in this great worldview.
“Status window.”
When I opened the status window and looked at the task column, there was a clear mark next to the task.
Let’s see, the reward…
“Attribute point 1?”
If you’re going to give it to me, can’t you give it to me? Put 1 point on someone’s nose. I don’t know who the guy who possessed me was, but he didn’t seem to want me to live an easy life. Still, you should consider it fortunate that you gave me something useful. Why didn’t you throw something strange as a reward? It is Inseong who dropped people on an uninhabited island.
From noble mtl dot com.
But where to invest this?
Should I leave it for now?
I don’t know what 1 point means because it’s a rank system.
Is the rank going up one notch? Or half step? This guy’s status window doesn’t explain anything. In this day and age, if you explain unkindly, you hear the sound of a f*ck
It is said that the complex appears in the evaluation section. The more f*cked up, the more negative it is. If it’s possible, I’d like them to feed me everything from 1 to 10 so that I can give them an overwhelmingly positive response.
“Let’s not use it for now…”
It’s not yet clear what characteristics to invest in, so let’s check the next mission first.
Arrive at Calon Academy.
Distance: 1700km
Reward: Attribute Point 1
One more point? Her.
Status Changa compensation is salty.
I closed the status window complaining inwardly and stood up. I’ll say something if it’s too late, so I’ll go get something to eat.
It’s the first dinner of civilized people to eat in 10 years.
I can’t wait to see what comes out.
With a lot of anticipation, I put on the clothes the priest brought me step by step. From panties to top. To be honest, I was a bit concerned about wearing a jacket, but I can’t go on topless nude until now. I held back my awkward feeling and joined the group.
“Captain! This way, this way!”
“Okay, go slowly.”
You don’t even know the way, but you’re going somewhere like that.
I grabbed Milia, who was trying to get ahead, and carefully adjusted the angle of her head. It’s not that it’s noticeable because the hair is slightly out of sync, but it’s possible. Even if the saintess brought her, it was obvious that if Dyurahan showed up in a place like this, there would be an uproar. But was there a Dullahan in the survival academy?
I don’t remember.
Probably not.
“Oh, John, I will continue to wear that. It doesn’t matter if you go naked on an uninhabited island, but that’s not the case here.”
“I know.”
Why are you looking at me suspiciously? I also have some basic common sense.
“Yes. If you make a mistake here, you will be arrested, so please be careful.”
Too lazy to even say anything, I just nodded.
While chatting like that, we arrived at the restaurant following Rize and took our seats. A long dining table that could only be seen in a movie, enough to accommodate five or six people.
The dinner menu for us was already on the table.
A diet full of greens that makes you feel healthy just by looking at it. Whoever it is, the guy who made this diet must be vegan.
“I prepared an ample amount because I think there will be a lot of hunger.”
“Thank you, priest sister!”
“Huh, say nothing. Then have a comfortable meal.”
Risemara, no Rize left the restaurant with an elegant smile.
The restaurant quickly became quiet.
I said as I picked up the fork to announce the start of the meal.
“Let’s eat.”
