NOVEL NEXT chapter 23
23 – Saint Nera’s Regret (4) – Devotion
Nerah had no intention of giving up her doctrine.
Everything in the world is descended from the goddess Lachesis, and even the goblins were not wrong.
Even though they were bad goblins now, they just didn’t have a chance.
So you shouldn’t have killed them…!
Besides, the ones in front now were even young goblins.
They just didn’t have a chance.
If there is a chance to grow up to be kind, you will grow up to be kind.
While thinking so, Nera stood in front of Alan and desperately stopped him.
Because this was very contrary to doctrine.
“Just get out of the way.”
Of course she wasn’t Alan to hear that.
After Alan pushed Ner-A to her side, she approached to finish off the young goblins.
Nerah screamed at her at the sight, but she seemed unwilling to stop Alan.
“No…!”
With Nerah’s power, it was difficult to stop her boy’s power.
Goblins trembled and shed tears in front of her eyes…
Now, this situation was the least desirable for her.
But fortunately, there was one person who could stop Allan.
“Alan. That’s it.”
A clean, beautiful and powerful voice resounded in the narrow den of goblins.
Allan and Nera turned their heads to look behind them, immediately recognizing the identity of the voice.
The identity was the hero who came with Alan.
The hero suddenly appeared.
Alan’s master appeared, so he stopped his sword and looked at his master.
Then he asked.
“Why? Master.”
Allan’s face was that he didn’t understand why he was stopping.
The hero smiled and told Alan.
“I want to save you once.”
“Even Master has gone mad… Isn’t it? Why are you letting him live?”
“Hmm… What kind of test do you think you’re doing?”
“The hero’s heir test.”
“A hero doesn’t have to be strong. A true hero is someone who saves someone.”
Alan protested against such a teacher at first as if fighting, but…
In the end, he seemed to agree with what his teacher said.
In the process, Allan glanced at Nerah and let out her sigh.
“… So you’re telling me to look at me now and save that cancer over there?”
“What. Similar.”
“I roughly understood what Master was saying…”
Clearly Nerah feels like what the hero is saying is to save the goblins…
Nera didn’t know why her eyes were on her.
Somehow, it sounds like a story about saving yourself…
‘Why are you sighing while looking at me?’
Why are you trying to save Nera?
I don’t have any problems myself…
That’s how she started to wonder.
Another question arose.
“Whenever I think about it, Master’s personality seems really evil…”
“I am also worried because my student is so kind.”
Why are our words to each other slightly out of sync?
Nera feels that no matter who sees it, a hero is a kind person worthy of a hero.
Alan is a bad person who is not like a hero, but it felt like the words of the two were completely opposite.
‘Is this like irony?’
Nera listened intently to the conversation between the two, but couldn’t follow why they were having such a conversation.
I was a bit dumbfounded because of that, but I still got what she wanted.
Allan stepped aside, and thanks to her, she saved the lives of young goblins.
“Hey. Grow it well.”
Nerah ran to the goblins as Allan got out of her way.
Fortunately, nothing terrible happened.
Nera looked at Alan as she hugged the goblins and said clearly.
“I’ll show you. Being a good goblin…!”
She must prove her doctrine, which she has read.
She vowed to show that everything in the world is a descendant of the goddess Lachesis, and even monsters are kind.
“Yes. Do as you please.”
Alan didn’t look at her like that.
Well, that didn’t matter to Nera.
Anyway, the result was good.
Nera did an excellent job protecting the young goblins.
Nerah turned around and smiled at the two young goblins.
“Goruk… Gorr…”
The goblins are still trembling. Taking these goblins with them, the three escaped from the goblins’ lair.
And after getting out, the hero said to Allan as if he remembered something.
“Oh yes…! Alan. We must go to the tribunal now.”
“A tribunal?”
“Yes. The trial is taking place now. Do you know why?”
“Well… It’s clearly a church issue.”
Two people who look too busy even at a glance, it seemed like they probably had schedules after that.
Well, it must be strange that the hero and his successor are not busy.
Still, it was a bit regretful to part like this, so Nera told the two of them.
“Hey… Even for a meal…”
“No. No. Saint lady, we’re fine. We’ll leave. We’re in a bit of a hurry right now.”
Nera’s offer of a meal was rejected.
Anyway, he seemed quite busy.
After Ner-ah said goodbye at the end, she parted ways with the two of them.
“Then, saintess. We’ll go first.”
“Yes…! Goodbye, warrior.”
“Goodbye.”
“Goodbye to you too.”
Nera and the two goblins were left behind.
Nera also took the goblins and went straight back to the church.
“Hmm…? Why is no one here?”
30 Minutes later, the church arrived.
Nera felt strange in the church.
Because it was so empty.
As usual, the cardinals and church ministers would be doing business in the chapel or reading the scriptures.
Today’s church was so empty that she wandered around looking for people.
The result of that search.
“Sister sister…!”
Fortunately, she was able to spot a nun who was praying outside the church.
When Nerah saw her nun, she greeted her, and she then inquired about the whereabouts of the rest.
And the nun gave an answer with gibberish.
“Sister. Where have all the others gone?”
“Ah… Because of that. To the court… Ah… You shouldn’t say this.”
An expression as if something was going on.
Nera felt a little strange about that expression, but…
When she heard the next words, she was at least able to understand.
“Huh…?”
“Anyway, I went because something happened… You’ll probably be alone in church for a while, Ner.”
“I see. Thank you.”
It’s not uncommon for cardinals and pastors to vacate churches.
They were the ones who usually left Nera at the church with offerings and wandered around.
Perhaps he is going to volunteer? Thought Nera.
Of course it was her first time going to court, but she decided not to mind too much.
Nera entered the church again.
“Gove…”
And the goblins that greeted Nera.
The goblins, who were so wary at first, seemed to have loosened their guard against Nerah before they knew it.
Nerah was delighted to see her smile.
‘As expected… If you show your sincerity, you’ll understand.’
For some reason, it seems to be practicing doctrine.
I was so happy that I felt like I was proving a doctrine.
Because of that, she decided to work even harder.
‘Ah really…It’s not like this. Now that it’s like this, let’s make some delicious food.’
After Nerah had the goblins seated at her table, she headed straight to the kitchen behind the church.
Her cooking skills in Nerah, which is only in her church, weren’t bad.
Because she was a nera who usually distributed bread and other things to struggling believers.
She is Ner, who usually cooks hard.
Nera baked bread that was golden brown and delicious.
I made a stew with a savory smell.
Food made that way.
She heard them and turned to the waiting goblins.
“Gob… Gob gove…!”
Seeing the food, the young goblins are overjoyed.
It was so delicious that Ner Ah ate the food she prepared for her.
Seeing that figure, Nera felt quite a sense of accomplishment.
“hehehehe…”
Looking at that appearance, I thought that he would definitely grow into a good goblin according to the doctrine.
She wasn’t wrong in doctrine either, and she wasn’t wrong in what she said.
Obviously, the boy named Alan only watched with prejudice.
“I will definitely raise you to be a good goblin…!”
There was always such a thing as a good goblin. She
As a saint herself, she will work for world peace.
Because peace achieved without fighting is the true meaning of peace.
‘There is no such thing as true nature…! I can get along with all the monsters if I open my heart.’
The next hero named Allan would not admit this, but it was clear that he was right and he was wrong.
I could tell by looking at this.
The goblins are already eating very kindly.
Looking at those goblins, Nera made up her mind again.
I will definitely act according to the doctrine, and I will achieve peace.
“Eh…?”
When I was determined like that.
Looking out the window, quite a bit of time had passed.
“Ah…! It’s already time. It’s time to sleep.”
For some reason, I felt like I was falling asleep.
A lot of things happened today, and Nera is pretty tired.
She was well prepared because
.
“Good night…!”
After Nerah took the goblins and put them in her spare room.
Returned to her own room.
Then, as usual, she read a little of the scriptures and lay down on the bed.
“Cool cool…”
After lying down on the bed, Nera is sleeping soundly after a while.
Nera had a happy dream.
And that night.
“Gorreuk…”
Terrible things happened that were the exact opposite of Nera’s dreams.
