I Became a Shaman in a Fantasy World - Chapter 99
Only Noblemtl
#99 You have to grow up quickly. (1)
A time when all the children should be asleep.
It was late at night, but an unusual commotion was occurring at the daycare center.
Waggle Waggle –
“Look at them! They look hurt!”
“Shh! You have to be quiet.”
“That’s right, Sister Janey told me not to talk about others so carelessly.”
She was a very smart girl.
In an instant, the children were quiet.
And the person called Janie must be the person you see in front of you right now.
“…How did you find us? The children behind you…”
Since there were over 40 people in the group, I could sense that they were quite flustered.
Since everyone was in bad shape, Janie’s eyes moved around busily.
Inspiration Clocell slowly came closer to me.
“I don’t doubt you, but if you leave your children here, bad things could happen.”
In fact, the inspiration was close to the truth.
If we learn that the kidnapped children have disappeared, we will do whatever it takes to search for them.
There’s a good chance you’ll find this place eventually.
but.
“are you okay.”
My grandmother’s gaze had been following me persistently since a while ago.
As for my grandmother, who is my body owner.
A spirit who not only takes care of children, but also protects them so they grow up well.
If you keep wanting to click your tongue, you must be feeling quite sorry.
“Okay then. Do you need any other help?”
“Umm…”
While I was thinking about it, Janie walked towards me with brisk strides.
With a very confident expression.
“I understand that the children are sick. And they have complicated circumstances. Every child who comes here has his or her own circumstances.”
Janie, who was about to start talking again, suddenly placed a hand on her waist.
“Helen? Would you like me to heat up the stew first?”
“yes!”
Children gathered in groups of three or five and running somewhere.
I guess it was stew meant for the kids standing behind me.
Janie cleared her throat.
“To put it bluntly, it is impossible to take in all these children at once.”
I didn’t really say anything and just watched quietly.
Because it seemed like there was still more to say.
“But! I’ll try to do something.”
Brown hair with dark eyebrows.
From the high nose to the thick lips.
Even the eyes resembled a deer.
The view was very good.
“Hmm….”
An ordinary person who has not had any great fortune.
Maybe luck won’t come.
Because I was handing it out to the kids next to me.
“What a wonderful person.”
“yes?”
A person whose heart is as straight as bamboo.
That was also going in a very good direction.
“There was a reason I came here.”
“Hey! Don’t just say weird things…”
“You will be blessed. Hmm, I think it will come to you in the form you desire.”
Even the form that Janie was hoping for seemed beautiful.
My grandmother also seemed to like the feeling of warmth in her heart.
I quickly searched through my pockets and took out a piece of paper.
“Just wait.”
Swish –
It’s brief, but I hope it will be helpful.
“Um… If we’re going to do it, we might as well do it right, Luna.”
“cadet?”
“Can you give me a hand for a second?”
***
Aluard muttered with a blank expression.
“What on earth is going on…”
I got a call from Clocell the night before.
The destination is the capital, and we have entered the border of the Harp Kingdom.
Aluard, who was moving hurriedly to join the group, was having a strange experience.
“…also!”
A child whose lips are blue because of pain.
His eyes were sunken, so it seemed like he hadn’t eaten properly.
“Hey kid, are you okay?”
Blurry eyes turned to Aluard.
“Your Majesty…?”
“Yes, I am a priest who serves Ilya.”
“I…I don’t have money.”
Ouch.
How many times have I heard that today?
I was on my way back from treating another little boy just before I met this kid.
That was what they all said together.
The saying goes, “I don’t have money.”
How can it be that children worry about money before they worry about pain?
“Ilya…”
It must all be retribution for what has happened so far.
“Child, there is no price to pay for using divine power.”
It was absurd to think that power was originally meant to be used in places like this, and that it required a separate price.
“Really…?”
“Don’t worry, the priests will pay the price.”
It would be better to take action first rather than talk further.
A pure white light emanated from Aluard’s hand.
At the same time, blood began to flow into the child’s pale face.
The blue lips gradually returned to their original color.
“Haa… it’s warm.”
“Why are you here alone?”
The child’s face turned gloomy at Aluard’s question.
“If I knew you were sick, my sister would worry.”
“Ugh…”
Who would have thought that this ironic person would be so considerate.
I found it very beautiful that she didn’t want to worry anyone.
Aluard’s eyes became infinitely warm.
“Excuse me, priest! By any chance…”
“Tell me.”
“I have more sick friends, can you help them?”
“Let’s go together.”
Aluard nodded, looking down at the child.
As expected, it continued like this again.
From sick child to sick child.
How can this happen every time I go?
“no way…”
Aluard, who was following the child, listened to the sounds he heard.
“There was a fire last night, what happened?”
“They said the food inside was completely burned.”
“That doesn’t seem to be all. According to people I know…”
Words coming and going noisily.
Aluard noticed it right away.
Chris was involved in that incident.
‘As expected, it doesn’t just happen.’
The pace gradually quickened.
Along the road to the outskirts.
When Aluard arrived at the place where he had been walking for quite some time, a noisy meal preparation was in full swing.
“Sister! We’re running low on bread!”
Everyone was moving busily even though it was early in the morning.
“Mr. Carlson said he’d bring more!”
“Sister! The friend who came yesterday has a high fever!”
A woman running with her arms rolled up at the mention of having a fever.
Aluard also ran towards it.
“I am a priest from the religious order.”
A woman trying to say something.
Aluard waved his hand to stop him.
“You don’t need money.”
“No, that’s not it.”
Swish –
Flash –
A dazzling light flowed down the child’s body for a while.
Breathing becomes more comfortable little by little.
Only then did relief appear on both their faces.
“Thank you. If it weren’t for you, priest, it would have been difficult.”
“Are there any more sick children?”
Aluard was busy running around here and there.
Flash –
‘What on earth happened?’
The condition was very bad.
There were even signs of abuse.
It looks like these kids have nowhere to go.
The woman who had been called “sister” since earlier approached Aluard.
“I don’t know if it’s right, but…”
“What’s going on?”
“I told him to hand it over to anyone who looked like him.”
“…?”
Aluard received the note with a bewildered expression.
I can think of one person who would describe himself as feeling sorry for me.
Aluard lowered his head toward the paper and was soon able to confirm that the person was Chris.
– I will do my best to help and protect you.
The name Chris written underneath the short text.
And the little hand shape that was stamped.
“…Luna?”
A cute handprint was stamped on the note like a seal.
“Did I give it to you correctly?”
“you’re right.”
Aluard glanced around and took out a pouch from his bosom.
“This is all the money I have right now.”
30 silver coins brought to be used as security.
There are a lot of children here, so it won’t be of much help.
If I had known this would happen, I would have packed more leisurely.
‘This is not enough.’
Aluard, who had been thinking for a moment, took out a crystal ball from his bosom.
Paat –
“This is Allure.”
– Sir Aluard! Please speak.
“I need the power of the priests within the Harp Kingdom. Please contact the one closest to the border.”
Allure, who had been following Chris, could sense it intuitively.
That this won’t end with just this one.
‘It seems like the merger will be delayed.’
I hope this is why you came here.
“Ilia…”
***
rustle –
I finally fell asleep at dawn.
I’m tired, but what can I do?
It’s all my destiny.
Swish –
When I opened my eyes, I saw Serena sleeping right in front of me.
Pure white skin without a single blemish.
Picturesque features and crimson lips.
Perhaps because he was asleep, his cold face had softened a little.
As I watched Serena, I realized something was missing.
“…hmm?”
Luna, who was supposed to be sleeping between Serena and me, disappeared.
“…?”
Suddenly –
I sat up and opened my mouth wide.
A small body was standing on the bed.
Luna looked at me and smiled.
“It’s big.”
