Chapter 31 Extra Story – Simon Agios’ Consideration Part 2

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

If so…where is the place I belong to?

The one who answered my doubt was none other than Priest Frank.

He told me that the adventurer party he once belonged to was looking for a priest.

But the party Priest Frank once belonged to was a renowned party. I wonder if I could enter such a party?

When I spoke to him about it, Priest Frank heartily laughed as he said.

“You can already avoid my fist it I were to launch it at you, can’t you? Even if your opponent is a monster, you’d be able to avoid them. A priest who can protect their own body like so is amazing, you know? If it’s a useful priest like you, then they will be so happy that they’re going to cry.”

“I am…a useful priest?”

“Isn’t that obvious? I have personally taught you, and you’re my best disciple.”

“Th…ank you very much…”

For the first time, he didn’t land his fist at my head as I leaked out my sob, it was his gentle palm instead.

“Oh well, that’s the memories of me and Priest Frank.”

I told everything save for the fact that I cried and the girl before me had her purple eyes clouded due to being moved as she crossed her hands in front of her chest.

Even though her pupils were purple, various colors were reflected in it as a response to the light that it was such wondrous pupils.

She was a slightly peculiar child, but it was good that she could express herself without words or gestures.

“Then, to Simon-san, Frank-san is your honored teacher, right?”

“Well, that’s right. If I were to tell the person himself, he would be hiding his own embarrassment as he hit me with his fist, though.”

“Yeah, I can somehow imagine that.”

After that, I had been traveling the world as an adventurer. There weren’t many places I had been to, but even so, compared to the days I secluded myself in the temple, the world was such a vast place.

There were lots of anxiety I had since the other party members were a dwarf, a beastman, and an elf, but every day was a fresh and amusing day.

And then, with the upcoming Monster Flood, we immediately rushed off to the Izel fort.

All of my party members thought that Priest Frank’s arms would be more polished when he’d come to greet us, with him being in the Izel fort where the hero was.

But alas, I had never thought—even in my wildest dream—that a pink rabbit would be riding on his head…

Moreover, it was a splendid monster—the variant of a Horn Rabbit; even if I was told that, I couldn’t believe it right away.

But that was the truth.

The story that I heard afterwards, if Priest Frank didn’t say it himself, I would definitely deny it and deem it as impossible.

Things such as hurling Heal and hurling Cure that I had never heard until now. Then, when I first heard about how hurling Cure to a monster could tame them, I was wondering if his mind went mad due to some poison.

Moreover, the one who taught them was just an eight-year-old girl from a foreign country.

But Priest Frank showed me in actuality how to hurl the heal. As expected, I wouldn’t believe it unless it was put into practicality.

I earnestly requested Priest Frank to teach me how to hurl Heal immediately. Priest Frank seemed to be thinking of doing that too, so I immediately received a crash course.

For some reason, there was a rite of shaking hands in the beginning, but after repeating the practice, I became able to hurl Heal.

After that, we received a notice that the Monster King was born near the Chris fort, and there was something that caused us—who rushed there—to be surprised.

That foreign girl put a protective magic that could be used to all of our allies.

Her magic was different from the protect magic we knew, as each of us had small shields attached around us like fairies, and the shields were revolving around our bodies to protect us. Moreover, she was able to pile up the protect magic.

It seemed to wear off after 30 minutes, but it was amazing how it was able to raise our defense power.

There were way a lot more monsters gathering around the Monster King than what we anticipated, and so we were relieved that our defense power was increased.

In the beginning, there was a leeway for me to heal the other parties.

Moreover, that child was even able to cast offensive magic.

Normally, a priest wouldn’t be able to acquire offensive magic. Rather than that, I had never heard of someone who could use both healing magic and offensive magic.

Later on, I heard that there was a job called as ‘sage’ in that foreign country, and people with that job were said to be able to use both recovery magic and offensive magic.

Soon, the battle between the Goblin King, Leonhart-sama, and the Izel fort’s knights happened…

After that, the Monster Flood’s demise was declared in the shortest time in the history.

However, after feeling relieved for a moment, I received a secret story from Priest Frank.

That was about the foreign girl, Yuuri Kujou’s bodyguard.

The existence of her whole magic and the subjugation of Dark Panther would be way too conspicuous in a world after the crisis of the Monster Flood.

Perhaps there would be people who’d notice how this time’s Monster Flood could be ended in a short term thanks to the existence of this girl.

The temple would take notice of the girl’s heal hurling, and the magician association would be interested in her magical power and the chant shortening. On the contrary, there were people among the adventurers who’d consult whether or not they could invite a girl.

Of course, the kingdom would also take notice of the girl.

Then, among the nobles, there would be some who’d scheme to adopt her after knowing that the girl was from a foreign country and had no guardian, and there would also be people thinking of capturing her through engagement.

There were supposed to be no insolent people in the Izel fort who’d think of abducting her, but it could happen. In addition, anyone could start a rumour, but none could stop one. Eventually, the girl’s existence would spread to the people who weren’t good.

But the knights of the Izel fort would be busy with settling the Monster Flood that no one would be there to constantly guard the foreign girl.

That was when we received the request to guard the girl.

We were guarding the girl without her knowing anything about it.

The request we received wasn’t difficult at all.

In addition, the foreign country’s magic was very interesting to us, and we were able to witness the existence of monster subjugation near us as a side benefit.

In the beginning, the knights of the Izel fort seemed to be suspicious that the girl whose appearance was unnatural was sent in order to do bad things to the hero, but that suspicion was quickly cleared up.

I also thought that it was reasonable.

This girl, Yuuri, wasn’t vigilant at all that I wondered from which carefree country she was from.

The people she met were all basically good people, and the Dark Panther child that was following her along was the one who were vigilant with its surroundings.

Even a girl who grew up in the rural area would show a little bit more vigilance, or so I thought.

With that condition, even when veterans were to be with Yuuri, their maliciousness would be extracted.

Just like with Priest Frank and Leonhart-sama.

The moment I saw the second son of the Owen house whose forte was trickery was pampering her, I was so surprised I thought my jaws would be disconnected.

“Speaking of which, what kind of monster does Simon-san want to befriend?”

“Well, about that. My party’s strength is enough, so a scout would be good.”

“A scout, birds, huh? What kind of bird monsters exist? One whose cry is ‘kupo’…ah, that isn’t bird, is it?”

Yuuri who was tilting her head before my eyes was so charming. I had no younger sister, but if I were to have any, I wonder if she would be just as adorable?

“If it’s a monster near here, then Blood Eagle?”

“Uwaa. A blood-stained eagle would be scarryyyy.”

“Ahaha. It’s not the eagle’s blood, but the eagle has its prey’s blood stained over it.”

“Ukyaa. That’s even scarieeeer.”

Yuuri who was truly frightened was comforting herself by rubbing Noir’s face. It sometimes glared at me in criticism, but I guess that was just my imagination.

Un. It was really interesting.

Priest Frank. You once told me that the world was so vast.

And now, a brand new world was laid out before my eyes.

O God.

I really am grateful to you for granting me a life in this world.
