Teresa and Song-Yura Escape

‘Why do I feel uneasy · · ·. ’

If you become a paladin like Teresa, even if you’re not a Shrine, you’ll sometimes be told that there are people in danger around you.

A sub-version of the trust?

To put it bluntly, it’s kind of like an emergency sensor.

It doesn’t always work, and sometimes it doesn’t, but she comes to a step feeling that some life is going out of her senses.

In fact, there were many paladins who felt this way and ignored it, but Teresa had never been like that.

A prudent nature, she actively intervened in the crisis, not ignoring the warnings of her divine power.

He’s still alive. ’

Teresa saw that the child was still alive and told the thugs.

“Hand over the child now. Then I’ll leave you to it. ”

“Spread your legs, you bitches, now. Then I will send you to heaven. ”

“Puhahahahaha · · ·. ”

In response to Teresa’s warning, the thugs responded with the same rhyme and the fireworks exploded.

It’s proven once again that these guys really like bad jokes.

However, that was not a good choice in this situation.

“You made your choice. ”

Teresa squeezed her fist as she muttered the words she learned from Min-hyuk recently.

In three minutes.

“Off · · ·. Ugh · ·. ”

“Ugh · · ·. Ugh · ·. · · · · ·. ”

All the thugs were blushing and sweating in the alley with their faces tingled.

Teresa made it in three minutes.

And in front of that · · · ·.

“Huh? Teresa, I’m trying to get my hands on this guy. ”

“Ahh ·. No!!”

Song Yura monitors the area to make sure the thugs are punished properly.

Thinking about her job on Earth, she was one of the experts in this field.

Theresa then treated the boy who had fallen with divine strength after making gangsters stumble.

The boy who had fallen down would have really died if he had left him alone.

But luckily Teresa opened her eyes when she healed.

“Ugh · · ·. Ugh. ”

“Are you awake? ”

She opened her eyes and looked at Teresa holding herself in her arms.

“· · · Are you an angel? ”

He seemed to have mistaken his death for coming to heaven.

Seeing that child, Teresa smiled bitterly and said,

“No, I’m not an angel. He’s just a passerby. ”

Teresa tried to identify herself as a knight, but now she remembers that she is a slave, not a paladin, and quits.

The boy wakes up and dries out of Teresa’s arms in a hurry.

“What about my friends? Robin, Joanna! ”

“We’re here. Tom.”

“Are you awake? ”

When the boy called Tom found himself in Teesa’s arms, the other children who were looking at him a little further away replied.

“Robin, Joanna, Terry! ”

The boy, Tom, who had regained his senses, rushed to look at the children’s condition.

“Are you okay? Are you guys okay? ”

“Yes, Tom, we’re fine. ”

“That pretty sister saved me. I beat up all the thugs. ”

A child named Tom seemed to be treated as a leader among these children.

Then Teresa saw that the children were safe, and said to them,

“What were you hit with? ”

“That’s · · · · ·. ”

As Tom tried to answer, he hesitated when he saw the thugs stabbing their heads on one side.

Teresa said seriously when she saw the child afraid of retaliation.

“Don’t worry. If they try to retaliate, then I’ll kill them. ”

It sounded very harsh for a child, but in this world, knights are usually like that.

A human can be punished instantly at the scene if there is a villain disturbing security.

That was the knight.

Well, even if it wasn’t a knight, it was the irrelevant rule of the world that we didn’t know what would happen anytime, anywhere if we were powerless.

Anyway, Teresa tells me that a boy named Tom is starting to explain why he has the courage.

“Actually we · · · · · ·. ”

Tom and the children were orphans in Ludward.

There are children who have lost their parents and become orphans, and there are children who were abandoned from birth.

Even though the situation was different, the children survived somehow, relying on themselves to stick together.

It does not mean that the children survived only by their own strength.

No matter how rich a child may be, how can he survive on his own?

Of course there is help from adults.

But the problem was that they weren’t normal adults.

Backalley thugs took care of the orphans.

Taking care of her was all it took to put an old woman from a prostitute in a fallen shack as a nanny, but it was the only house in the back alley.

But what kind of mercy can backalley thugs have to take care of their kids for free?

Of course, I want to take care of my children because there is something I want.

Children have to do their part at some age from then on.

I usually start work at the age of six or seven, but that’s not normal.

begging, stealing, or delivering dangerous goods under the direction of thugs.

Of course, these things are very dangerous.

Some people get beaten up while begging, others get beaten up while pickpocketing, and others get beaten to death.

But it was the only way these kids could live in the world.

Tom has been living begging and pickpocketing since he was five years old because he grew up well.

It was hard every day, but Tom still lived to take care of his brothers who were similar to him.

If I had any food, I would never eat even a small amount by myself, but I brought it to the board house and shared it with my brothers.

Occasionally.

No matter how difficult the environment is, no matter how hard the suffering is, no matter how relentless the waves are, no matter how desperate they may be, no matter how strong they may be, they will always look forward to the future.

Tom was only ten years old, but he was still strong enough.

Tom was saving up some money to pay off to the thugs and saving up some money to leave here with his brother someday.

It was very, very little money, but after years of collecting it, it was a fair share.

However, the existence of this money became known to the thugs.

And the scoundrels were scolded and mercilessly assaulted for betraying Tommy’s actions.

He tries to kill Tommy because he was trying to take the bounty off them.

In fact, they were really going to kill me.

I tried to set an example so that the children in the organization would never come out of such different minds again.

That’s why they were executing him publicly in front of everyone else.

“God, why do you suffer like this for young children · · ·. ”

Teresa takes a deep breath when she hears Tom’s story.

She is a paladin who worships God, but sometimes she resents God.

when faced with a reality as cruel as the present.

Teresa searches her pockets. Then there was some money left over from the 10 gold that Min-hyuk gave me.

About eight gold.

Can we help these kids with this?

No, it is not possible.

Teresa shakes her head excitedly.

Even if they don’t have one or two children and save their lives with this, it will only last a month.

Before that, the children who were not able to protect the money were much more likely to be taken away by someone.

This doesn’t really help.

At this time, the reality is sad for ordinary people, but they take a step back knowing that there is nothing they can do.

And if you are a good person, I will help you as much as I can.

In Teresa’s case, she would give as little as she has to give to a boy named Tom, but she would still try to help.

And the stuffy one beyond the good one. Or someone who doesn’t have an answer.

“Follow me. ”

Let’s see what happens first.

You don’t have a plan.

Song Yura was worried about taking the children back to the inn.

“Teresa, what are you going to do? ”

“I don’t know.”

“Don’t know · · · · · · ·. ”

Teresa sighs as she hears Song Yura’s remarkable words.

“I know my actions are reckless and foolish. But I can’t ignore this even if I see it. Shouldn’t we at least try? ”

“ · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

There was nothing to say about Song Yu.

Teresa’s determination was too resolute and pure, and she had nothing to say.

It was the only thing she was worried about.

‘How will Min-hyuk react? ’

After seeing the children Teresa brought, Min-hyuk sighed.

“We’ve sent shopping to buy what we need, but · · · ·. ”

Min-hyuk stared at the children once.

Then the children shrugged as much as they could and noticed Minhyuk.

It was the instinct to protect children who grew up harshly and looked at their surroundings.

“Are these kids for shopping? ”

“I’ll explain. Will you please just listen to me? ”

Min Hyuk nodded at Teresa’s earnest request.

“Yes, of course I do. I just hope there’s a reasonable basis for that story. ”

In the words of Minhyuk, there were some thick thorns hidden.

If Teresa’s story did not find justification, then it was Min-hyuk who promised to expel the children immediately.

“I’ll explain. These kids are · · · · · ·. ”

Teresa explained both how she met the children and their background.

And by the end of her explanation, Min-hyuk was folding his arms and listening with a grim look on his face.

“· · · · So. Can you please help these poor children? ”

Teresa met Min-hyuk and pleaded with him most earnestly.

Even when she was enslaved, she didn’t look this desperate.

Min-hyuk saw her like that and thought to himself.

‘Indeed · · · ·. That’s why I’m only as good as my eyes in the temple. ’

Min Hyuk thought Teresa was more like an idealist, or even more delusional.

Of course justice must be practiced in this world, there must be no children of miserable destiny, and all humanity must live in compassion and peace.

He is a human being who constantly pursues an ideal that can never be seen in reality.

Honestly, Min-hyuk doesn’t like people like this.

Delusions can cause more harm to the world than any other villain, depending on the circumstances around them.

You want to help the kids?

Excellent, very generous idea.

But how?

It’s the most important thing to say charity to help someone.

However, it is not something you can do with your heart as long as it is large.

It requires thorough planning and preparation.

Making a charitable effort without any plans can make things much worse.

But Teresa is just trying to help her children as far as she can right now, putting all that preparation or planning behind her.

It was her nature.

The very nature of the temple when she was a paladin who convinced her countless times, but never changed.

Of course, Min-hyuk can suppress her nature.

Theresa has no choice but to obey the civil revolution, as long as there is a contract of slavery made with God.

Min-hyuk just told them to send the children back, and they had to go back to their boarding houses.

And then there will be the gruesome retaliation of the thugs.
