107 – Determination (5)

After Ragnar died and the demon army withdrew, the town of Helen suffered a lot of damage.

Thanks to Yulia’s support and the protection of the Knights, the village of Helen did not collapse.

However, the restoration of the village could not happen overnight.

Thousands of people ended up sitting on the streets. Many of them were injured.

And Celica couldn’t ignore her injuries.

“Goddess, please protect the people…”

Celica devoted herself to healing the injured by reciting her prayers.

Her The people who usually cursed at her accepted her healing with their mouth shut.

Right before she left, she only lightly bowed her head. She said nothing.

Still, I watched her with an embarrassed expression to see if she had any conscience.

“Serica. You don’t have to push yourself too hard.”

“I’m sorry. I’ll try to finish it quickly.”

The streets of the town were in chaos. An atmosphere of chaos pervaded the ruined plaza.

The eyes of her people followed Celica, who was busy helping people.

They were looking at Celica with her gratitude and her respect.

“I don’t know why I have to fit in with this.”

Erina fired at Celica with a grumpy expression. She chattered with her annoyed expression as she roamed the streets.

I was trying to comfort Erina, but her dissatisfaction leaked out as her time was delayed.

Celica gave Erina an awkward smile and bowed her head.

She was less frightened than before, but Celica was afraid of Erina.

“Erina. Come on.”

She held Erina’s hand just in case. Last time, she had a history of making a fuss in the streets, so she decided to hold on tight.

When I reached out her hand first, Erina closed the distance to me, her face widening.

“hehehe…”

“Let’s wait patiently until Celica treats the injured. Got it?”

“Yes. All right. Instead, please do not let go of my hand.”

A whopping three months have passed. Since meeting Erina, she hasn’t been away for a single day.

Even so, Erina always tried to stay by my side.

She never showed signs of getting tired. Rather, she said her symptoms only got worse.

On the other hand, a change came to Kyla.

“Kayla.”

“Ah, yes…!”

“Follow me. Because I don’t want to get lost.”

Kayla was trailing behind us a bit.

She couldn’t make out her expression as she was walking on her floor with her robe pulled down.

However, complex and subtle emotions were conveyed as they were.

After hearing the truth about the world from me, it seems that he has a lot of thoughts.

“Kayla. Does the robe fit well?”

“Yes. Fortunately, it’s the right size.”

Although worn, it was enough to cover Kayla’s face.

I had to buy a proper robe, but now the village was in ruins and there was no way to save it.

I was going to ask Yulia, but she stopped because she could doubt Kayla’s identity.

“Don’t think too deeply. Because you are doing well.”

I spoke in a different way so that Erina wouldn’t notice. She drew a small smile as luckily Kayla noticed her meaning.

“Thank you.”

“And don’t fall too far.”

He pulled Kayla aside. Erina and Kayla stood side by side with me in the middle.

Erina pretended to be displeased, but it didn’t last long. She was amused just by the fact that she was holding hands with me.

“Seohyun. I think it’s over now.”

Wounded people were no longer seen lying on the streets. Celica was also sighing after her healing.

“Anyway, there is a healer who accompanied the knights. It should be left to those people.”

Although the healer who lived in Helen Village died, the healers of the Knights were concentrating on healing.

Even if Celica didn’t have to step out, they could just go find it.

But Celica couldn’t bear to look past the injured person in front of her eyes.

“I’m sorry. But she couldn’t ignore the person who was hurt.”

As the injured were treated, more and more people asked for treatment.

In the end, it could only be finished after healing all the nearby patients.

Still, Celica’s healing ability was excellent, so it didn’t take her long.

“Come on. Are you done now? Then go quickly.”

“Yes. Let’s go.”

Fortunately, no one was hurt after that and she was able to reach her destination on time.

The center of the village, the mansion where Yulia stays.

She said she was her own villa. It wasn’t huge, but it was quite large compared to other buildings.

Although the garden was in disarray due to the invasion of the Demon King’s army, it was a mansion that people could live in.

“Ah, Seohyun! Are you here?”

Upon opening the door and entering, Colin greeted us warmly.

Not only she, but her attendants who followed her Yulia were busy moving.

“You look very busy.”

Colin was so busy that he was sweating.

Her clothes, which were always tidy, were crumpled and her hair was scattered.

From noble mtl dot com

“I had a lot of things to do in the morning. Letters continue to arrive from the capital.”

“Really? Is there something going on in the capital?”

Then Colin came up to me and lowered his voice.

“To be honest, the atmosphere in the capital is very disturbing. It is said that since Helen Village was attacked, the movement of the Demon King’s army has become more active.”

Just as the explanation was about to continue, someone put a hand on Colin’s head and tousled her.

Beautiful, white hands. There, a golden ring was hanging on the index finger.

Only one person could afford such extravagant decorations.

“Yes. Very upset I haven’t slept all day.”

Yulia’s face was flushed red. With her free hand, she blew on the bottle with her wine bottle.

Yulia, who greeted me with a glass of red wine, was also insane. Her eyes were full of fatigue and her shoulders were drooping.

Meanwhile, she was drunk and in a good mood, a smile on her face.

“It’s still broad daylight.”

“What? I worked day and night This much is fine…”

I was annoyed at the strangely harsh tone. Her brow furrowed as she watched her drink without hesitation.

Colin also tried to snatch her bottle to restrain her, but Yulia ducked her hand.

“Commissioner! Put down the drink!”

“Why is that? Take a look at this…”

“You’ve had seven bottles since last night!”

While the two were bickering, the glass bottle was dangerously floating in the air.

Just in case, I took the bottle roughly. Then Julia sighed in irritation.

“Why are you doing that? I want to drink… !”

“If you want to drink, drink later.”

Even though the sun was up in the middle of the sky, Yulia was drunk and had lost her senses.

She wanted to talk at least sanely. As she was, she couldn’t say anything while she was drunk.

“Colin. Could you bring me some water?”

“Yes! In the meantime, please stop Yulia from drinking. Please!”

While Colin was away for a while, she took Julia to her living room.

She laughed out loud at the situation of having to take care of the landlord as a guest.

When Yulia saw me smiling, she followed suit and started to laugh.

Even so, her mouth was full of complaints.

“Ah… annoying… Bring me some more…”

“Calm down and sit down.”

Maybe because I was drunk? Yulia was showing an unusually disheveled appearance.

Erina, who was watching from her side, glared at Yulia as if she didn’t like her, but she was of no use at all.

“What the hell happened? Why are you drinking all of a sudden?”

“So… It’s so annoying. Why does this only happen to me…”

Although I wasn’t sure what Yulia was thinking, she could infer her situation.

The representative of the agency that manages all requests nationwide. The position of commissioner was not light at all.

But wouldn’t it be quicker to hear what happened directly from the person in question?

“Tell me what happened. I will listen to you all.”

Then Yulia’s eyes twinkled as if she had waited.

She seemed frustrated because she had no one to complain to, and her annoyance burst out like a flood.

“Why is the Demon King’s army moving just because I want to become the commissioner? “

“It can’t be helped. It looks like the Demon King’s army is about to step out in earnest.”

“I’ve been quietly shutting myself in the Demon Realm… Why are you making a fuss now…”

She whined and complained like a child, or she suddenly cursed and became irritable.

“So… While I was away, the receptionists suddenly started fighting and chaos… !”

“It must be a faction fight.”

“Carlson, the dog would have worked… ! It’s clear…”

Still, she quietly got up from her seat and headed for the cupboard. There were wine bottles lined up side by side.

Before I picked up the bottle and uncorked it, I stepped out.

“I told you to stop drinking.”

“Don’t do that, you too…! How delicious this is…!”

Julia held out a bottle of alcohol in front of me. She opened the stopper and tried to forcefully hold the glass bottle in her hand.

Meanwhile, Yulia even snatched my hand.

Then, somewhere, there was the sound of a knife being drawn.

As the white blade poked out its head, the atmosphere around it froze.

“Right now.”

“…”

Yulia, who had been in a riot, also calmly put down the bottle, as if she was overwhelmed by the atmosphere.

Even so, he was crying with a dissatisfied expression, as if his anger wasn’t resolved.

“Really annoying…”

Of course, I could understand Yulia’s feelings, but I had no intention of accepting her drunkenness.

She had so many things to do with her. We didn’t even have time.

“Erina. Let’s put the knife in.”

“If you do that one more time, I will really cut your throat.”

Fortunately, Erina didn’t really pull out her sword either. When Yulia put her bottle down, she meekly put her knife in.

“Everyone calm down and take your seats.”

Yulia kept swearing at her, as if she didn’t like her, but there was no choice.

She didn’t want Erina to cut her throat, she grumbled quietly as she sat in her chair.

“Damn… This is my house…”

Still, thanks to Erina pulling out her sword, her Yulia’s voice was lowered.

Should I be thankful to Erina this time?
