124 – The Genius of the Southern Village
The next day, after hearing various explanations, I rode a carriage down to the southern village.
The great sage said he needed to find the child… But he didn’t know what he was trying to do after finding the child.
I thought he had blonde hair…And blue eyes.
It seems to be a ridiculously pretty base that is commonly referred to as a blonde by the wall.
Come to think of it, the people here have different hair colors and eye colors.
Stella has silver hair and has dark eyes, and Etheria has blonde hair and red eyes.
I’m the only one with black hair and black eyes…
There are people who say that I am cool every once in a while, but it is also true that I look a little dull.
“Haa…”
“Take another sigh.”
I looked up at Dave and saw brown hair and brown eyes.
I’m a little envious of the hair color you want to be like a man.
“If you’re not sick, let’s go look for the child.”
“Yeah…But are there any other clues?”
“Oh, but it’s easy to find because there aren’t a few people with blonde hair.”
Dave said finding people was his specialty when he was young, and he began to warm up as if he were stretching.
Looks like you’ve been blinded by this bounty.
Well, Mr. Eri, Etheria, and our youngest priest, Cain, are clenching their fists and swearing something.
Did you say that you have three younger siblings to support?
I heard they live on the outskirts of the northern town now…
They all say they are younger sisters.
“Hey Dave.”
“Why?”
“You know Cain’s little sisters. Would it look weird if I asked them to come and live in my house?”
“Hmm… Really? I don’t see anything other than a person who takes good care of his subordinates, right?”
“Really? Then I’m glad.”
As expected, the world where relationships between men and women are easy and light…
Since my values are very different from the earth I was in, I think there are more things to pay attention to than I thought.
“Then I’ll go over there. If anything happens, notify the spirit.”
“Yes… I hope you find it.”
“Thank you. Will you be sitting here?”
“Yes. I’m a little tired.”
I just came by accident.
Other priests had to be forcibly mobilized, but it was an indispensable task for a priest to assist.
So, from Stella’s side, except for the two guard priests, they are with me.
“Mother, then we shall go too.”
“Yes, since you’ve come, work hard to find them. I’ll take care of our help priests separately.”
“Thank you.”
The clergy of Stella’s help slowly walk away from me with a smile.
This time, people who couldn’t find their child didn’t get paid, so they had no choice but to lose money.
So I decided to take care of the allowance.
Well, we can only take care of our priests and Stella’s priests.
“Then let’s spend some leisurely time…”
Anyway, the hidden knights around me are protecting me.
Did I lose my guard for a moment because there was nothing dangerous?
With a smile, I went into the drink shop next door.

“Brother! Are you really the saintess’s husband?!”
“Yes yes…”
“Really? Why is your brother the saintess’s husband?”
“Well… How come…?”
As I was spending time drinking cool orange juice at a beverage store, a lot of children from the southern villages flocked to me.
It looks like the children are walking around without a guardian.
The security is good, so they don’t worry if they send their children.
I really like this.
By the way… The kids keep asking me strange things, so my head hurts a bit.
Should I say that I’m curious about the kind of man who married a saint like the sky?
You seem to have a lot of curiosity like a child.
You have to tell me what you’re curious about.
“Do you have any other questions?”
“Does the saintess go to the bathroom to poop too?”
“…Everyone goes to the bathroom…”
“My dad said that the goddess and the saint don’t go to the bathroom.”
I’m not an idol somewhere…
What kind of person is a father to say such nonsense to his son?
Could it be Stella’s fan club?
But do other countries also have fan clubs for their country’s top leaders…
After that, I told them about what the children were asking.
At first, it was mostly jokes, but after that, there were a lot of things that became quite bloody and fleshy.
Unexpectedly, there were many children who were interested in becoming priests…
You’re going to become a priest in the future, right?
“What?”
I noticed now, but there was one child who was cuter than expected among the group of children.
I think it’s a girl, but she’s blonde and has a dark face…
“Ah… I can’t believe…”
She lifted the child in her arms just in case.
He seemed a little flustered, but he seemed very docile since he didn’t run wild.
How old are you?
Are you about 6 years old?
“Isn’t this the child the great sage is looking for?”
As I was talking to myself, the children started puffing out their cheeks for not answering the question.
I’ve been wanting to chat more with these cute kids, but now I have work to do.
“Brother brother, why is your hair black?”
“It’s because I ate a lot of squid.”
“Does eating a lot of squid turn your hair black?”
“Yes. So, you guys should eat a lot of squid too.”
I gave the kids some nonsensical bullsh*t, then lifted the girl up by her arm and pulled her out of the way.
The prize money is mine.

“Eh… Alvin? How did you run out of breath…”
The great sage looked at me as if he was worried about me.
I didn’t get sick anywhere because I just ran.
This person, like Stella, is overprotective of me.
The reason is… It must be because I am that person’s reincarnation.
“But that child…!”
“Just in case you didn’t know, I brought you here. Isn’t that the blonde hair the great sage is looking for?”
I lifted the child, who was now calm in my arms, with both hands and showed it to the great sage.
The great sage, who was staring at me with a half-horrified expression, cleared his throat and slowly lowered my arm.
“Whew… But I’m glad I found it quickly.”
“Is this the kid? Then the bounty is mine.”
I told the great sage that I would collect the reward with a smile.
The great sage laughed out loud and tapped my shoulder while wiping the area around his eyes to see if the tears were flowing.
“I think Alvin was also interested in the bounty?”
“Not me, but I’m going to give it to the attendant priests.”
From noble mtl dot com.
Personally, I thought that it would be better for me to find and share rather than find one and monopolize it.
It is not a communist idea of redistribution of wealth, but it stems from the idea that it would be better if our priests share it.
And next time it’s time to ask what I’ve been curious about.
“Great Sage, who the hell is this kid, you even put up a bounty to find it?”
“Oh, I didn’t tell Alvin…”
I don’t know where the great sage got it from, but he took out two cans of cold drinks and held them out to me and the child.
As he took the can, opened it, and sighed in it, Daehyeonja let out a sigh and said his words.
“This child is the daughter of the Duke of Genoa, a neighboring country.”
“Pu-sup…….”
“I can only sigh… They say that the soldiers of the Principality of Genoa ran away while bringing them back.”
So she is this child, she is the daughter of a duke, but she ran away when she came here.
If she was on the go to the Hellenes, she probably would have gotten her to become a priest.
In the case of a girl, it is impossible to inherit a title or succession to the throne, so she said that in most cases, she was evacuated abroad at a young age.
The Church Bureau seems to accept a lot of such children.
“But it’s strange. She ran away from the soldiers of her home country, but she didn’t stay calm when Elvin brought her back.”
“She said earlier she was drinking orange juice at the beverage stand, and she was among the children… She hugged her calmly, but she didn’t even bother once.”
“Hmm… I think Alvin has something to charm women.”
“…It’s embarrassing to say that…”
Isn’t that what she says to a man who has already married and started a family?
This great sage says strange things once in a while.
“So she’s saying this kid will become a priest?”
“That’s right. This time, she has been trained as a priest for a month, so she will become an official priest after a month.”
It was a week, then two weeks…Now it’s a month.
It looks like they’re trying to strengthen the basic abilities of the priests, but I’m worried that there will be side effects if we keep them locked up for a month.
If you’re like me, you might collapse from frustration if you’re locked up without being able to come out for a month.
“Honey, what’s your name?”
“…Deneb Genova…”
“Deneb? What a lovely name…”
Isn’t Deneb famous for the summer triangle constellation?
Is that constellation similar to this world?
“Deneb is the name of a hero in the Principality of Genoa.”
“Aha…As expected, it seems to be far from what I thought.”
Is she a girl named after a hero?
I’m a little curious about the timing of the parents’ tops.
The name is pretty, but doesn’t the meaning sound like sh*t?
From what I heard from the great sage, it seems that Deneb was a man.
“It’s about time to gather.”
“Oh, I didn’t tell you that I found it…It was a big deal.”
I was supposed to contact you when I found the child, but I forgot.
I can’t believe my reputation will fall again…
