The Half-Puny Priest Hopes To Retire - The Half-Puny Priest Hopes To Retire chapter 237

237 – A Song for the Burned Ashes (8)

Shrine. Apis.

Magi. Downa.

Iron wall. Big team.

From here to the warrior and the saint.

Is there anywhere in the world that is more reliable than this?

To exaggerate a bit, we wouldn’t be afraid even if we turned the entire world into our enemy.

No, cancel. Honestly, that was a bit scary.

”I really want it… What happens when you loudly tell people to leave it to you? How·····. And I wish I could just wait patiently until Dauna collapses from exhaustion. Why do we fight so needlessly…”

”Oh, it’s noisy! Really! At first, I also tried to follow the plan! But what the fuck! That thing sucks! Keep going!”

They straightened Apis’s twisted limbs and exchanged information about what had happened.

If a joint injury that is excessively misaligned is treated carelessly, there is a risk that the bones will stick together in a strange direction.

Before using the miracle, it was essential to take steps to ensure that the injured area was properly attached.

Puzzle. Grumpy.

Every time my hand moved Apis’ arms and legs, the noise of bones and muscles twisting pierced my ears.

It must be such a pain that even experienced knights can’t help but scream.

Apis, who was actually the person involved, seemed to find the constant nagging coming out of my mouth more annoying than the pain.

”I’m sorry. Because of me…”

Dauna, who received healing one step ahead of Apis, hesitated to offer words of apology.

”Ha·····. Because it’s gross. Stop doing that.”

”That’s right. Downa. This isn’t really Dowona’s fault.”

”Yeah, but…”

I heard the apology was hard on my ears.

Dauna, who was still struggling in the swamp of guilt, once again had tears in her eyes.

Downa, who is normally overflowing with confidence to the point of being a bit overly confident, is so intimidated.

It was the first time even I, an old acquaintance of hers, had seen her.

Originally, right after Apis said those harsh words, she would have returned the same criticism.

With her head down and barely holding the hem of her skirt, there was no sign of her counterattacking at all.

”I can’t believe a person who is famously said to be the best mage in the system could fall for such an absurd vision. How on earth can I look at your faces from now on? Even more so for Lowville and the warrior…”

”Well, I’m fine. And the warrior said there was no need to worry about that issue at all…”

I said this, but in fact, I was also very perplexed.

Even though I knew he had feelings for me all along, I gritted my teeth and pretended not to know, and now I have unintentionally dumped him.

It was because I couldn’t quite figure out what kind of face I should have with her.

I was just jealous of the hero who had been hit so hard by Dowona’s lightning that all those memories were completely blown out of his head.

Pow!

”This image is real!”

”Ahh!”

”Apis!?”

At that moment, Apis’ agile leader struck Dauna’s head.

We are still in the process of patching up her broken arm.

She couldn’t help it anymore and waved her arms.

There are degrees of toughness among people.

Wouldn’t a bear that has just woken up from hibernation be more sensitive than Apis?

”Aren’t you coming to your senses!? You saw clearly what was going on right now! I’ll listen to all your whining later! Now I’m just trying to scrape together my depleted magical power!”

”·····Profit!”

Although it was a somewhat violent method, the effectiveness of Apis’ sharp rebuke was outstanding.

I crouched down for a while, holding the area where I was hit by Apis.

”I know, too!”

Beyond Dauna’s venomous and glaring expression with a loud shout, a faint expression of firearms had already returned.

”Father!”

Eventually, the warrior who had climbed onto the roof of the house and was closely watching the situation near the castle wall joined the group.

”Hero. What does the situation look like?”

”Yes! Currently, two giant dragon-level beasts are rampaging near the castle wall! The smell of various monsters is slowly wafting throughout the village!”

”Can I roughly know how big the number is…?”

”Yes! Thousands at most! No matter how much I do, I think it’ll be hundreds!”

”·····!”

As the situation turned out to be much more serious than I thought, the area between my eyebrows suddenly became tingly.

For some reason, I couldn’t even see the monster’s shadow, let alone the monster, inside the dungeon.

I guess the monster hasn’t even been created yet.

”Fuck. I’m going crazy…”

”Haha, that’s right…”

He implicitly agreed with Apis’ harsh words.

In fact, the appearance of monsters in a dungeon is as natural as a fish swimming in the sea.

Eradicating such monsters is the main task of us adventurers.

No matter how strong and numerous our opponents are, what we must do has not changed one bit.

However, now that the place where the dungeon is created is the location, there are bound to be restrictions on activities in many ways.

It is the capital of this system, where hundreds of citizens live and breathe.

Just seeing two dragon-level monsters running amok there makes me dizzy.

When I heard the news that thousands of monsters would soon appear here, my eyes suddenly became dizzy.

If I wanted to take it down, I could do it as much as I wanted.

The problem is the additional damage that follows.

No matter how much of a group possessed the strongest military force in mankind, it was almost impossible to demonstrate their skills on a glass platform that could collapse at any time.

”Phew…”

This series of events occurred after Sister Liza, who had transformed into the core of the dungeon, was completely suffocated.

Therefore, it was not that difficult to infer the cause of the incident through prior circumstances.

I never thought I would try to lead this system into the abyss until I die.

Her twisted tenacity Her aroused not only fear, but even awe.

”Hero. How are you feeling?”

”Yes! Although I was quite reluctant! I really didn’t feel like it! Thanks to the healing from the saint’s holy power, I am in perfect condition! You can go fight right now!”

Did she really dislike having her body healed by the saint’s holy power?

It was a hero who rarely openly expressed his displeasure her, but his body her his was said to be in perfect condition, so that was enough for now.

”Huh? Downa! Are you still up for it?! Let’s not get caught up in such personal matters between like-minded colleagues! Didn’t I tell you! To be honest, I don’t really remember what happened then! I have already forgiven Dauna!”

”Yo, hero…”

Dauna sheds tears of emotion at the warrior’s bright words.

The sight of those two people was quite touching, but for me and Apis, who knew everything about the previous situation, I couldn’t help but write bitter words.

”Are you going to tell the hero that Dauna has feelings for you…?”

”Apis. I love peace. I don’t like fighting.”

”·····Ugh.”

Whisper quietly. I exchanged words with Apis in a low volume so that the two could not hear.

”You humans are going through such a hard time. Because it is always in estrus…”

”Apis·····. That’s prejudice…”

From an academic perspective, it can’t be said to be wrong.

In particular, only around me are there a combination of unique types of women.

I wanted to at least let you know that not all human women are like that.

Boom!

As we were chatting for a while, Big Team appeared, looking for replacement weapons from a nearby weapon shop for his colleagues whose weapons and armor were broken.

”Great job. Big team.”

”·····”

I also gave a thumbs up to Big Team, who responded to my words and gave a thumbs up.

With this, all preparations are completed.

”Then! We’ll get it done quickly!”

”Please take care of yourself…”

”I hope you don’t worry!”

In my heart, I also wanted to go with my colleagues.

After subduing two giant monsters, there was no time to bring in an obstacle like me, as the countless monsters that were scheduled to appear throughout the city had to be eradicated as well.

So now that I finished treatment, all I could do was wait in a safe place with the saint.

”If that woman tries to touch your body, I hope she screams at the top of her voice. I’ll run to you anytime!”

”Ah, yes…”

”Okay then!”

I saw the warrior off with an awkward smile as he held my hands tightly and prayed for me.

It was an indescribably miserable feeling to be left alone in a safe space, leaving my colleagues at risk.

We will also need personnel to monitor the candidates for sainthood, who may make unexpected moves at any time.

I decided to accept the current situation.

Even if these people show hostility again, with the power of the saint, they will be able to suppress them.

”Haha, I’m really useless…”

It was a car in which I was once again pondering over the sense of helplessness I had experienced in my childhood.

”Brother. Pray. Please pray.”

”Saint?”

The saint, who had been quiet until now, began to fuss again, asking me to pray for her.

”Saint. Right now I have to find a place to hide, and I’m busy in many ways. Pray later…”

”Everyone dies.”

”·····Yes?”

”If you don’t do it. Everyone dies.”

Accompanied by words that can never be ignored.
