chapter 21
21. The saintess knocks on the door of the general store (4)
-Stop. You’re not doing that for the church. You are wrong.
I am working hard for the church.
-I don’t want the church to be noisy because of you.
You said you had to fix what was wrong. Why do you know what’s wrong now and don’t try to fix it?
– Stop it. Everyone is suffering because of you.
Isn’t it more painful to be hugged by someone you don’t want?
-You said you were curious about why the other sisters hate you. It was because of this. We are sacrificing like this for the church, but you don’t sacrifice in missionary activities while attending the academy with the donations we make.
“ha.”
let out a deep sigh
The pain that disturbs my heart lingers in my ears.
I heard that, but it was impossible to live casually in the church.
Frank lost his way from the shock and went outside.
But the day was getting darker, and her pockets were even empty.
In the end, all that was left was to move into the academy dormitory, but since it was a vacation, it was clear that even if I applied for a dormitory, it would not be accepted.
“Where should I go…”
It’s stuffy.
Fran was thinking about how she must feel when she was abandoned by the church.
I was afraid and scared.
I felt left alone in this world, and I thought I’d rather die.
He was unbearably unhappy that his academy life was the result of someone’s sacrifice.
“Why would someone like me give such good advice?”
It was understandable that the sisters hated her.
“I’m an idiot and an idiot.”
Who would like you like this?
It’s natural to get tired of everything.
It was a problem that the sisters had never thought of before that living would be difficult if they could not collect donations.
In addition, aren’t you living an academy life with a huge amount of support through the church?
Admission to the academy and receiving teaching itself was free, but all the items, textbooks, and equipment used in the process had to be covered at private expense.
Frank, of course, lived on the support provided by the church and never questioned it greatly.
“I should have paid more attention to that part.”
You need a way to make money.
If the church has more money, wouldn’t there be no reason for the sisters to do painful missionary work?
‘They say you can make a lot of money by doing illegal treatment…’
The abilities of students who have entered the academy must be used for the preservation of humanity.
In particular, healing-type abilities were under special management to be used only for humanity.
However, even under special management, dark passages exist everywhere.
Fran knew about the existence of a broker who approached him with a huge amount of money and arranged for him to use his healing powers.
Because of her outstanding ability, there were more brokers than expected who approached her.
But she had never taken the broker’s offer seriously.
It was because he thought that the power that should be used for the sake of the church and the world should not be used privately.
‘I didn’t even know that everyone was sacrificing so much, and I was arguing for morality and rightness by myself.’
As a child, she knew how meaningless the world’s standards of correctness and morality were.
However, as he was taken away by the church, he learned morality and learned what righteousness was.
That is why he was so passionate about missionary work.
He said that he learned many things by being taught by the church, and that since he was saved that way, other people should also receive the salvation he felt.
“What salvation is this? It’s all a mess.”
I just wandered on the road without a destination.
I didn’t ask where it was going.
Dark alleyways, dark nights when the sun disappeared, no matter how much it was an academy city, bad people would appear.
“Hey, lady. Where are you going like that?”
“It looks like there’s nowhere to go, right? I’ve been watching you since before. You walked around the neighborhood.”
“Come here. I’ll put you to sleep. Huh?”
The man spoke softly, as if he didn’t want to offend her.
But Fran knew that these men were hiding their desires.
‘These people are also targeting my body.’
The men who insulted the sisters must have been like this.
to make a donation.
The sisters who are having a hard time lost their innocence and became corrupted in the blink of an eye.
‘It was me who was stupid.’
Frank did not rebel.
Compared to the suffering the sisters went through, this is nothing.
Fran thought that in order to stand in front of the sisters, he needed an experience to empathize with the pain they went through.
The men began to giggle as Fran was dragged along without much resistance.
“Ugh~ Look at how nice the skin is.”
gulp-!
“Do you need a master? If it were you, I think I could take you home and raise you.”
“Hey, I was the first to find it. Even if I pick it up, I’m first!”
The men’s unpleasant skinship continues.
“I can’t stand it. Shall I take a step out of here?”
“sh*t! Then, if you get caught by someone else, you’ll be taken away.”
“Ah… I’m sure it is. I need to hide it quickly.”
The men hurriedly swallow their saliva.
My teeth gnashed when I thought of how the sisters had been experiencing this unpleasant situation every time.
But I had to be patient.
This must also have been a tragedy that all the sisters went through.
Wow!
“evil!”
Wow!
“Cheuk!”
Fran looked at the floor and thought, ‘Let’s endure it, we must endure it…’, and suddenly lifted her head in surprise when the hands of the men who were massaging her were gone.
He was a familiar person.
Fran didn’t expect to meet here, so Fran’s mind went blank.
“Oh, mister?”
It was because the person who appeared in front of her was none other than the general store man.
⁂ ⁂ ⁂
“Wait a minute. No, close your eyes.”
He said he had never been to practice, so he would not be familiar with the blood.
I put Fran’s hands up to cover her eyes and then cut off the hands of the stunners.
The skills he had acquired while serving as a mercenary had not yet rusted.
“Knock!”
“Oops!”
Although he was in a state of fainting, he tried to scream as if the pain of his wrist being cut had awakened his mind.
I punched them in the face once and again knocked them out.
‘If you’re an extra, don’t take it if you lose.’
I kicked the two droopy guys away from a distance, and since I couldn’t let them bleed, I hugged them and trudged through the alleyway.
It becomes more annoying when he screams at the sight of blood or when he panics.
Even though it was a bit difficult, it was much better to just hug and move.
“…Where are you going?”
Fortunately, Fran, who seemed uninterested in what had happened to the two, asked in a gloomy voice.
It lets you know that your shrunken body is frightened.
I don’t know if I’m scared or if the situation itself is scary.
“Why were you dragged away by commoners who were no more than a handful of feet away?”
“I didn’t get dragged. I was followed.”
“You know what happens when you get dragged by them.”
“…I know.”
Fran didn’t move even though he was able to remove his hand.
He is afraid to make eye contact with me.
I don’t know what he was trying to do.
“Are you going to propagate with your body now?”
“Isn’t that okay?”
“There is nothing that can’t be done.
“Are you drying the mister right now?”
“If you’re going to propagate with your body, you can propagate to me. Why are you propagating such useless guys while giving your body?”
“…You mean you want to hug me?”
Would you do something like that without going crazy?
At least not now.
If he wants to be hugged by me, he has to come a little older.
“Think about it. If you want to propagate me, your body isn’t enough.”
“Then please hug me.”
“Do you like exposure play?”
“yes?”
“Shut your mouth and be quiet. You are heavy.”
“!!”
Hearing my words, he struggled to walk, causing a commotion for a while.
I didn’t let him go, holding him in my arms and moving to the general store.
‘It’s dangerous, but the rescue is a success.’
It was proceeding exactly as it was seen in the scenario.
There were some changes with the reality patch, but the big stem itself didn’t seem to change.
Thanks to that, Fran was able to avoid being badly treated as per the scenario.
‘How will the scenario change?’
In the game, there was no way to intervene and change the scenario unless it was a branching point.
However, now that it has become a reality, I can intervene in the scenario I want to change at any time.
‘It was the moment when Fran was turning black, as if it was blocked like this.’
Fran, dragged away by the men, can’t stand the disgust of them and kills them by blowing his head off.
It’s fortunate that he didn’t do anything bad, but after being shocked by the fact that he killed a person, Fran begins to blacken in earnest.
But I rescued her before killing anyone.
‘It’s been messed up since the beginning of the scenario.’
The light-year scenario can be a bit distorted.
Since he had such an impoverished scenario, it was refreshing to change it as if he were playing a game.
In the meantime, light years sent cheers to the past me who suffered from breaking the scenario, and I put him down as soon as I entered the general store.
“It’s a general store.”
“Do you have anywhere else to go besides here?”
“no. I like it here.”
“come in.”
It comes into the general store more refreshingly than I thought.
Despite being rescued from the men, it seemed that she had not yet returned to her senses.
“Are you going to wash?”
I couldn’t help but ask him because I’d seen him get f*cked by them.
It will be uncomfortable to touch here and there.
“Do you like to wash?”
“Why are you asking me that? If you feel bad, wash it.”
“… I will wash.”
Suddenly, I realized that the current situation could cause misunderstandings.
‘Did I just say to wash before s*x?’
There was something I said, so I probably misunderstood it.
But since he wasn’t feeling well, I decided to let him misunderstand.
‘If I say no, I’ll try to find another man.’
My mentality is divided, what can I do?
Besides, he doesn’t know his future.
The fact that in the end, she would not be able to bear being insulted by men and would commit murder.
‘After washing, you should fill your stomach. Children are supposed to sleep well once they are fed and washed.’
I don’t know what he might like, so I decided to add one more bowl to the rice I usually eat.
