Growling-

Brilliant emerald-colored holy water entering the basin. I wondered what to do if the amount wasn’t enough, but it was resolved thanks to the holy water Isabel brought.

What’s left to do… . Now all you have to do is mix it well.

I mixed pre-ground medicinal ingredients with holy water to create a thick, viscous medicine.

This is a sticky lump of holy water with a yellow glow. He took a handful and spread the liquid evenly over the woman’s deeply burned legs.

“Ugh! Hmm… .”

A woman clutching a blanket and enduring pain. When the medicine made from holy water touched my legs, white bubbles began to rise.

It’s definitely effective.

There are already signs of recovery. I don’t think it was this fast to begin with, but it seems that the holy water Isabelle brought wasn’t regular holy water.

This is enough… . It is at least a bishop level or higher… .

Should I call him a hero after all? I don’t know where I got this, but once I got it, I used holy water with a grateful heart.

“Please be patient.”

Sigh-

“Keuuk… ! Ugh… !”

I thoroughly apply holy water to the burnt area, leaving no gaps. Treatment continued with care, removing contaminated areas from time to time to prevent the wound from reappearing later.

@@@@@

“Huha… .”

It’s so fucking hard… .

After roughly treating a few more people like this, I was already exhausted. Feeling that I couldn’t do it anymore, I left the rest to Deacon Rachel and the council members, ran back, and flopped down on a chair.

“Would you like some water?”

“Ah, yes. Thank you.”

Isabelle brought me water as if she was worried because I was so weak and droopy. I took the bowl she gave me and gulped down the water like someone who discovered an oasis in the desert.

“Puha… . Thank you.”

“What. Thank you for your hard work. Priest.”

Isabel checks that I have finished drinking the water and puts the bowl back in its original place. Soon, he quietly pulled up a chair and sat down right next to him.

The sight of her leaning against the backrest with her arms crossed made me feel quite reassured.

Why do I always end up receiving help?

I was constantly receiving help, both when I was kidnapped last time and also this time. If she wasn’t there… . eww… . If possible, I don’t even want to imagine it. In a way, it was all thanks to her that I could be here now.

Originally, I could have been rolling around in a brothel somewhere by now.

“Priest, are you feeling better since that day?”

“Ah, yes… . Thanks to… . I was really thankful at that time.”

“What. I just did what I had to do… . I’m glad I wasn’t hurt more seriously than expected.”

Isabel holds out her hand as if to tell her not to worry. She put one arm on the backrest and pulled out a tobacco candle from inside her sleeve.

“Priest, would you like to smoke one?”

“Oh, that’s because I’m a non-smoker… .”

“Yes. Then what… .”

She lights a match with her legs crossed. The small spark thus created was moved to the end of the candle she was holding.

“Huha… . It’s going to be hard… .”

Isabel raises her head and exhales cigarette smoke into the sky. When I slowly turned my head and looked at her, there were dark red blood crusts all over her clothes.

“I guess you came here after a fight.”

“Ah… . This one. They said monsters attacked. I’ve been trying hard to chase down the remaining guys since yesterday.”

“It must have been difficult.”

“Hmm… . This is something I do every day. what… .”

After hearing the story roughly, it seems that Isabel has been hanging out here since yesterday. In any case, the remaining ones may cause secondary damage. At this point, it seemed like they were planning to wipe out all the monsters in the area.

“Recently, there have been a lot of monsters coming to the village.”

“Is that so?”

“I’m not sure, but the number of monsters has suddenly increased recently. Just in case, the priest had better be careful.”

“Ah, yes… .”

The number of monsters has increased… . There were so many incidents that I forgot about it, but now that I think about it, it seems that the monsters in ‘Sata’ also increased exponentially around this time.

It seems like the overall story is about to progress in earnest, so I have to prepare for it.

I wonder what I can do now that my body has become nothing special, but I think that if I apply as much knowledge as I can, I can at least obtain an artifact that can protect me.

“Hmm… . By the way, priest, you look prettier than before.”

“Ah, yes… . Yes?”

Isabel, who was having a good conversation, suddenly blurted out something unexpected. For a moment, I couldn’t believe my ears and my voice rose slightly unintentionally.

What on earth did this person just say?

I narrow my eyebrows slightly and look up at Isabelle. She was looking me up and down with half-glazed eyes, her eyes wide open.

“My, am I?”

“What should I say? My ability to express myself is a bit lacking because I’ve always held a knife my whole life, but I think you’ve become a little cuter than when I saw you before.”

“Ahaha… . Is that so? Thank you.”

No, this person is too unexpected. I wondered if it was because I was possessed by pheromones or something, but looking at the reaction, it didn’t seem like that was the case. If she had been possessed, she would have shown signs of excitement, but her expression was as calm as before.

“… ”

Afterwards, silence stayed between us for a while. I tried to manage my facial expressions well, but when someone told me I was pretty, the mask on my face came off and I literally turned bright red.

ha… . This person doesn’t seem that crazy either… .

Because the Isabelle in the game has a strong image of being loyal, I had forgotten that the Isabelle of this world was a completely different person from the Isabelle I knew.

I felt ashamed and said, ‘Kill me!’ The woman she was used to was everywhere, and there was some kind of crazy woman, so the difference was almost like heaven and earth.

… But when I thought about it, did I ever sit down and have a conversation with Isabelle like this? Although we saw each other occasionally, this was the first time we sat down and had a conversation like this.

Actually, if you think about it, it wasn’t a situation where we could talk every time we met. Once, I almost got caught while having sex with Lady Raina, and once, I was kidnapped and running away, so my face was just exposed and I had no idea what kind of person he was.

Tsk… . One way or another, this is someone you will be involved with in the near future, and if you really haven’t gone as far as being mentally ill like Bishop Lisa… . I guess it wouldn’t be a bad idea to make some connections since this has come to an end… .

Well, it’s not that urgent yet. I think it would be okay to build a relationship slowly.

“That priest?”

“Ah, yes.”

“Is there any holy water left? I got cut by those guys earlier… .”

And now it seemed like there was a good opportunity.

@@@@@

Isabel takes off the breastplate she was wearing. The armor surrounding her began to fall off one by one.

Meanwhile, I poured the holy water from the basin into a small wooden cup made of walnut wood and mixed it with the herbs needed to treat the wound to make an ointment.

“Where should I apply it?”

“Oh, wait a minute.”

Isabel takes off her top while asking to wait. As she took off her clothes that had been worn out after rolling around, her muscular upper body was revealed.

and… . This is crazy… .

Even as a man, it is a body that makes me admire it.

Without having to think too long, her body told everything about how fierce a fight she had lived through.

Small scars all over the body, including on the arms and waist. The countless knife cuts immediately caught my eye.

“Phew… . Oops, is it a bit hard to look because of the scar?”

She asks if the scar bothers her. I was distracted for a moment, but quickly came to my senses and answered.

“Huh? Oh, no. are you okay. Could you please show me where the injury is?”

“Ah, yes.”

Isabel lowered her head and turned her chair around to sit with her chest against the backrest. When I got closer, I saw a wound that looked like it had been cut by a knife in an awkward place on the back that I couldn’t reach.

It’s not that deep, and it must be quite painful, but you’ve been holding it together well without a bandage.

Because his expression didn’t change so much, I didn’t even know he had a wound this big on his body. Normally, when someone gets injured this badly, they complain of pain and groan, but she looked dull, as if she had a small scratch.

Well, anyway… . Your body is really no joke… .

How should I express it… . The positions of her muscles were clearly revealed in her upper body, as if it were a human model.

In some ways, you might think it’s too much, but it’s not like it’s a muscular body like a bodybuilder’s, and it’s closer to actual compressed muscles. So, it was closer to the appearance of fine muscles with only the necessary muscles nicely developed.

gulp… looks delicious.

“Priest, priest? Not done yet?”

“Huh? Ah, I’m going to do it now. Just a moment.”

what? It’s strange. Why do I keep blanking out from before? I don’t know why, but suddenly I started feeling like my heart was beating faster.
