29 – Genealogy of Heroes
“Hello, Priest Elvin.”
“Hello, Guardian.”
I came to see you three days ago for the duke, but I never imagined that I would see you again this soon.
Thanks to Mr. Bogus and Mr. Maxis for their quick work
I was freed from the job of scooping and moving coal and moved to the position of taking care of the spirits.
“Basically, spirits don’t listen to or obey people they don’t acknowledge.”
“Yes, I know.”
So it seems that the Spirit Center is quite understaffed.
There are people who naturally obey the spirits well, and on the contrary, there are people who don’t follow them and deliberately engage in strange behavior.
It is common for priests and priests who were working to escape to other departments.
“So you have to be very careful when working.”
“Ah…Can I touch it?”
In an instant, my whole body lost strength and became sullen.
The merit of this place is that you can touch other cute spirits.
Especially, it was nice to hear that there was also an oriental long-tailed dragon spirit…
The guardian shook his head quickly, perhaps conscious of my expression.
It was powerful enough to turn egg whites into meringue in an instant.
“No, I don’t mind touching it if you let me touch it.”
“Whew…That’s a relief.”
“But… No matter how much you say you’re a hero and the owner of the Holy Beast, other spirits won’t allow you to touch them…”
The guardian laughed bitterly as if he couldn’t be sure.
But I will not give up.
I nodded with a very serious face and looked into the guardian’s eyes.
“It’s okay, I’ll try my best to touch it.”
“hahahaha…I hope it goes well.”
So the guardian and I shook hands for the first time.
I went into training before being put into work.
….It seems that I can’t meet the spirits right away.
*
I came back to my room as exhausted as the day I received my first priestly training.
I immediately jumped into bed.
I have to go wash up and eat, but it’s been a while since I’ve been studying
My eyes keep closing and my headaches come… Should I say that I think about it when I’m preparing for the entrance exam for my 3rd year of high school?
Well, I couldn’t go to college because I didn’t have enough money to pay the tuition.
I was lying on the bed, with my face buried in the pillow, when Perry climbed onto the bed and started licking my cheek.
From noble mtl dot com.
Perry is the only one who comforts his father who returns to the dormitory after a hard day of work.
Stella is not in the dormitory, so I made an exception.
“It’s Perry.”
“Bung!”
My daughter who is energetic and cries in a daze.
I turned around and looked at Perry.
What did you do and play by yourself, is it still in such a high tension?
“Dad changed his position today? He moved to a place called the Spirit Sanctuary.”
“Bruised?”
“By the way, did you just study all day today?”
It’s not something Perry can solve, but I told Perry everything that happened today.
At first, I wondered what this was doing, but when I told someone what I didn’t like, the depressed mood gradually began to subside.
“Haa… I feel a little relieved.”
I came to my senses after telling Perry everything
He’s sitting in my arms and licking his cheek with his tongue.
It was the image of a daughter comforting a struggling father.
“I guess I’ll be able to work tomorrow…”
Since I had a moving job, time passed quickly and it was good, but suddenly I started studying out of nowhere.
Time seemed to go really late.
By the time it was lunchtime, I just wanted to go back to carrying coal.
“How did you survive 12 years of elementary, middle and high school…?”
Keep petting Perry’s head
“Shall we wash up and go see mom?”
“Bung!”
From noble mtl dot com.
Perry jumped out of her arms, went into the bathroom, and took her toilet bag and mine, which were floating in the air.
I don’t know if she feels better because she went to see her mother or if she feels better because she went to wash up.

“Wow…”
The next day.
After completing the training, they entered the shelter where the spirits gathered and rested.
Maybe it’s because they’re spirits, so they’re treated differently.
The wooden building has a whole glass, so the sunlight came in well.
The interior design was not a cage where animals live, but a neat design and atmosphere like a kindergarten or library.
“Most of the things Priest Elvin will do is sorting out the mess or cleaning the inside of the shelter.”
“Is there anything to clean inside?”
“All you have to do is bring a clean towel and wipe up spilled water on the floor.”
Maybe it was because the spirits were so out of touch, there weren’t that many things I had to do.
However, if the spirits think badly of those who enter,
It seems to be doing things like spilling water or spitting out food to make fun of it.
And it is said that there is no priest or priest who has never been subjected to such an action.
Of course, including the guardian.
Anyway, you spill water while drinking.
I’ve never seen Perry like that before.
“Where are the other priests?”
“Others basically work outside. Those working inside with Priest Elvin are all priests.”
“Aha…”
Are you working outside because you are being bullied by your Spirit Little friends?
Maybe I can work with them too?
“Then, please do a good job today.”
“Please work hard too.”
As I bowed, the guardian also bowed down and greeted me, then went outside.
Should I wait for the priests to come?
No.
The owner of the convenience store said that work is not about being told to do it, but about finding it.
Of course, the convenience store fired me for misunderstanding the type of mop.
Isn’t what he said wrong?
I immediately opened the door that was tightly locked like an iron cage and went inside.
*
As I opened the door and came in, terrifying creatures opened their red eyes and slowly approached me.
As if it were a place you shouldn’t come in and told you to leave immediately.
“Wow…”
But who am I?
Didn’t you take this opportunity to spend a happy work life surrounded by spirits?
What kind of treatment would you get if you ran outside in fear of just one red eye?
Like the other priests, I’m probably just cleaning the outside of the shelter.
If you do that, it will only make things more difficult for no reason.
I sent you to work comfortably at the shelter, but what would Mr. Maxis and Mr. Bogus think if you were cleaning the outside!
With that in mind, I widened my eyes, which I had closed because I was afraid of the red eyes.
Come on! Come!
I’ll deal with you as much as you like!
“Kyung?”
When I opened my eyes wide, I saw a snake floating in the sky in front of me.
No, isn’t that a snake?
Is this the oriental dragon spirit of that rumor?
Slightly larger children approached me, wondering if a stranger had entered the room and was on guard.
Small children peeked out from between walls and furniture.
Laser panda, dog, cat, rabbit, fox……
They were all cute-looking kids.
“Hello…”
“Kyuuung.”
“Can I stroke your hair?”
I swallowed my saliva and asked the dragon floating in front of me if I could stroke its head.
Then I closed my eyes again.
Ah…
Did I ask if I could stroke your hair the first time we met?
Isn’t it because you’re in a bad mood and you’re bothering me?
It’s been quite a while since I asked for permission, but seeing that nothing was said
Has it already been confirmed that you are bullying me?
Maybe they lost interest and went to do what they wanted to do.
“Huh?”
“Kyung kyung kyung!”
I opened my eyes and looked ahead
The dragon was rubbing his head against my chest asking me to stroke his head.
Should I say that it feels like watching Perry?
Wasn’t that child also barking at me and holding me still?
The action was so cute, I accidentally stroked his horned head lightly.
“Kyung!
“Uh…!?…..What…What…!”
The moment I stroked his head, a golden light began to emanate from his body.
Should I say that I feel like I’m getting weaker?
I felt that something that was full of it was slowly leaking out.
Yes, that’s it.
It feels similar to when Stella blows her magic through my chest and when I remove the debris.
“Uh…Uhh!”
I almost fell down because I couldn’t keep my balance properly as my strength was getting weaker.
I definitely fell and I thought I would feel the pain
When I came to my senses, I wonder if my body is floating like a dragon.
“Did you catch me?”
“Kyung!”
Like Perry asking me to use recovery magic and praise him
He started rubbing his own cheek against my face.
How can I say… Dragons aren’t as dignified and wonderful as I thought.
Or is it because the child is still young?
I wonder if he was satisfied after rubbing his face against my cheek?
With me floating, I carefully lowered myself onto a large sofa in the shelter.
