“…You are in great shape.”

“…Yes?”

Are you in really good shape? What does it mean?

If you think about it simply, it could be a comment about my muscles. Even though this is the case, I tend to exercise regularly.

But that’s what the nun said. Is it that simple? It may mean that you are healthy, or that your organs are well positioned…

“Oh, I just meant that the muscles look solid.”

The simple meaning was correct.

“Then excuse me…”

The nun placed her hand on my wound.

“Ugh…”

“Please be patient even if it hurts.”

The nun prayed to her God for a cure.

“Holy and noble Eurmia, please give a miracle to this poor lamb.”

A bright light bloomed from the nun’s hand that touched my body. The light enveloped the wound that touched her hand and began to heal.

‘It’s always amazing to see.’

Wounds that would take several weeks to heal naturally can be healed with a single prayer. Every time I see something like this, I painfully feel that I have come to this world.

“Phew…”

The nun’s breathing became a little rough. Is it difficult?

“Sister, are you okay?”

“…Yes?”

“If you’re tired, it’s okay to take a break.”

“No. It’s okay.”

She said firmly. While doing so, he looked at my wounds with his hands.

…It feels like he’s stroking my body in a strange way, but maybe I’m mistaken?

Well, maybe I’m mistaken. How could a nun do that?

“Now let’s treat the lower wound.”

After the wounds on my upper body had healed, it was time to heal my lower body. The nun squatted in front of me.

“…Nun?”

“Yes?”

“Well, your posture is a bit…”

“What is your posture?”

“…No.”

It was a bit awkward when I tried to say it out loud, so I decided to just quietly receive treatment.

“Then let’s start below.”

The nun placed her hand on my thigh. There was a wound from a spear on that side. As the nun prayed, she was enveloped in pure white light and new skin began to grow.

gulp.

I heard the sound of swallowing again. I saw it clearly this time. The nun’s neck is moving.

“…Nun.”

“Why do you keep calling me? Please be quiet as we need to focus on treatment.”

“No, that’s because I felt like you were looking at me too intently.”

“You’re staring at me intently? I’m just making sure the wound is healing well!”

“Ah, yes…”

Aside from that, his gaze was directed to the inside of his thighs. Well, he started stroking my thigh again, pretending to check the wound.

“This is the male…”

He even says strange things. How should I react to this? I was very worried. Never would I have thought that I would have to worry about this, and that too in a temple.

“It’s all over.”

Still, does that mean a nun is a nun? She didn’t cross the line until the treatment was over. I handed her 1 silver.

“Thank you. May Yurmia’s blessing be with you.”

“Yes, thank you. Ah, nun.”

I decided to ask some questions before leaving.

“Yes?”

“Do you usually take care of healing men?”

At my question, the nun blushed a little and said,

“Oh, no. Today is a special day because all the priests are out, but usually there is at least one priest. So, today’s work is only for today…”

“Ah, is that so. All right. May Yurmia’s blessing be with you.”

I left the room, leaving the nun making excuses.

“Ah, Mr. Yoosung is here…Aaaah!”

Seris screamed when she saw me and covered her eyes.

“Surprise. Seris, what’s wrong?”

Someone next to me tapped my arm. It was Kara. Kara said with a little blush on her face.

“Oppa…he’s not wearing clothes…?”

“Huh…?”

Oh, I was so distracted by the nun that I forgot.

Damn it.

* * *

After leaving the temple, I stopped at a clothing store and bought some clothes. This is because the clothes he originally wore became nothing more than rags.

After buying clothes, I entered the inn with Sister Seris. Although they pretended not to, both Seris and Kara were exhausted both mentally and physically.

The inside of the inn was noisy. All kinds of people gathered together, drinking and chatting with each other.

“This is an inn!”

Kara looked around the inn with bright eyes. You must have been curious because inns are a common theme in adventure stories. It’s a place that doesn’t have much more to it than Kara’s expectations, so I hope she won’t be disappointed.

“Usually you make your first colleague here!”

I looked around. Just drunk guys. There was no one in sight who could be a colleague.

“Order here!”

As I sat down, I called the waitress. A beastman with cat ears has arrived.

“Okay, what would you like to order?”

“It would be nice if you could recommend a menu.”

“Ah! This is your first time here! The chicken stew at our inn is amazing! If you drink ale there, it’s great! It’s awesome!”

“How much does chicken stew cost?”

Seris, who was shocked by the explanation of the female waitress, asked. The waitress spread three fingers.

“Chicken stew costs 3 copper. Ale costs 1 cooper for 4 glasses.”

“3, 3 Cooper…”

Cerise’s eyes trembled.

“Our store is cheap?”

“It’s cheap..?”

‘Do city people usually spend a lot of money?’ Cerise muttered to herself.

“Sister, let’s eat! Don’t you think you can save money until a day like today?”

“Ugh… Joe, good! Here are three chicken stews and four pints of ale!”

Seris must have thought that it would be okay for today, so she put her energy into ordering.

“Yes! I ordered three chicken stews and four glasses of ale!”

The cat beast walked away with its tail wagging.

“Three chicken stews… Are you buying them for me too?”

I asked jokingly. Cerise’s eyes widened.

“Ah, uh…”

She hesitated and couldn’t answer properly. When you see his eyes shaking wildly, he looks like he’s seriously thinking about it. I laughed and tried to say it was a joke.

“I’ll buy it for you. Eat as much as you want!”

“Huh…? You said you would buy it for me..?”

“Yes!”

I placed my hand on Cerise’s forehead.

In “?”

“Let me see, there is no fever…”

“What are you doing?!”

Seris was embarrassed and took a step back.

“Are you Seris? No?”

“What does that mean?”

“The Seris I know is not the type of person to ask someone to buy her something.”

“What on earth do you think of me?!”

Cerys shouted as if she was truly aggrieved. As other guests turned to her, she bowed and apologized.

“I am also a woman who writes when I write.”

Seris sat down again and spoke in a dissatisfied voice.

“Really?”

“Yes! Yoosung helped us a lot this time. He got hurt because of that. Oh right. How much did it cost to get treatment at the temple? I’ll give it to you.”

“No, it’s okay. I treated my body, but what?”

“No. You got hurt because of us. It’s right that I pay. How much?”

“It’s done.”

I waved my hand. If I had said 1 silver, I might have seen Seris’ soul drain from her in real time.

Cerise was persistent until the stew came out.

“Stew is here!!”

Once I smelled the stew, I became absorbed in it and became quiet.

“Then enjoy it!”

The cat waitress left. Kara watched the waitress’s back and said something.

“Suin waitress..! Assassin…!!”

no. Just a slave.

I stirred the stew and took a big mouthful. The subtle aroma of vegetables and the juicy chicken added to the flavor.

“Why is this so delicious?!”

This is Seris’s review. She took a bite and felt the aftertaste, then took another bite and felt the afterglow.

I smiled and drank the ale. It was lukewarm.

“Be sure to lock your door when you sleep. Because a drunkard might mistake the room.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Then, see you tomorrow morning.”

“See you tomorrow, oppa!”

I waved to them both and left the inn and walked towards the slums. Is it because it came in a week? I have new feelings…

“Gweeeek…”

“Aaaah! You’re a thief! Someone please catch that thief!”

“Wrong, wrong!!”

“If you did something wrong, you should get hit!”

…It’s not new. It’s a slum as usual. It’s been a while since I’ve been here, but it’s a place that doesn’t welcome me at all.

Should I have just slept at the inn today?

It was too late to go back now, so I hurried my steps. I should go quickly and sleep or something.

“What is it?”

Arrived at the cabin. But light was coming from inside the cabin. It sounded like there was someone inside.

I approached the cabin, being careful not to make any sound. I put my ear to the crack in the door.

-You guys saw it too, right? When I say something, that guy gets scared and closes his eyes!

-I saw it! Even though I was carrying that guy’s neck stiffly, I met the owner.

-now. Let’s drink and talk.

After that, I continued to overhear the conversation, but only three voices could be heard. I opened the cabin door and entered.

The people inside the hut were three poor people. Two of them were familiar faces, and only one was unfamiliar.

“Huh? What is this guy again?”

An unknown poor man glared at me.

“I want to ask. This is my cabin, why are you here?”

“Oh, you said there was an owner here. Was it this guy?”

An unknown poor person patted the back of a known poor person and laughed heartily. He turned towards me with a sly smile.

“Kid, if there is a good place like this, we should share it. huh? Shouldn’t we live by helping each other in this tough world?”

“Stop fucking with me and get out. This is the place that Grandma Manda passed down to me.”

The owner of this hut was originally an old woman named Manda. I took care of my grandmother when she was sick, and she gave me this cabin before she passed away.

“Ha, that kid is bold for once.”

“Oh my gosh, stop it. Han Yu-seong, I’m sorry. We thought you left the cabin because you didn’t come for a while.”

“Put this away. I said I should educate that bastard!”

“Oh, what’s wrong? Calm down? Hey, what are you doing? You too, try to stop me.”

When Yon got up, two other poor people stopped him. No, I pretended to stop him. The two poor people were looking at the liver with narrowed eyes.

If I feel like I’m being pushed out here, I’m thinking of taking over this cabin with that guy called Yon. On the other hand, if Yon is pushed back, he will use the excuse of stopping him to withdraw.

Anyway, fuck, they’re all fucking bastards.

“Let go of this. I said I would give that guy some education…?!”

I stabbed Yon in the eye. Yon covered his eyes and screamed.

“Aaagh!!! My eyes!!!”

“Noisy.”

He grabbed Yon by his hair and slammed him to the floor.

thud!

“Evil!”

thud

“Queu…”

thud

“Ugh…”

I kept hitting it. After hitting it down about 5 more times, it became quiet. It’s not dead, it’s just passed out. I released my hand that was holding my hair.

“Oh my…”

The two poor people looked down at the fallen Yon. It is an expression of looking at a useless object without any worries.

“I guess this guy is new to the city?”

The two poor people nodded to my question.

“That’s right. I broke half of it not long after I arrived.”

“Half? The subtle is a baby? ”

Half of the poor people fight a bit. Of course, he is not comparable to a full-fledged gangster organization like the Masked Gang, but he is a guy who only picks fights and extorts money from the poor.

“Anyway, I’m sorry. We tried to stop him, but he insisted on coming here…”

The poor man attempted to cut off his tail. I hit the guy on the chin. The guy stumbled and fell to the floor.

“Ugh…”

“What does failing to stop you have to do with you being here?”

I kicked and stomped on the face of the guy who was sitting down.

“What are you doing!”

The sane poor man frowned and said.

“You may not know that guy, but you all know me. I shouldn’t have done that knowingly.”

“What the fuck!”

“Use a knife? If you use it, I use it too.”

“…”

A sane poor man put away the dagger he had drawn. I stuck my fist into his philtrum. I shook it off and hit the staggering guy again.

After beating the three of them moderately, they kicked them out.

If this continues, no one will argue for a while. Those guys will go around bragging about who they beat up.

If you say you got hit by a novice, you’ll be treated like an asshole, but if that person is me, at least you won’t be treated like that.

There is no need to worry that those guys will hold a grudge and stab you. People with that kind of guts wouldn’t have lived like that. But that doesn’t mean I’ll be lax about my boundaries.

I lay down on the floor and tried to sleep. Although it was cold, I was tired so I fell asleep quickly.
