He is dragged around, hanging on Cordelia’s shoulder. At first, I wondered if she could lift me with just that little weight, but she lifted me up and carried me lightly on her shoulder, as if I were a woman from another world for no reason. My expression didn’t change at all, as if I wasn’t too heavy.

“Well, isn’t it heavy?”

“What?”

“No.”

I am at a loss for words at the sight of him being so relaxed and just cling to him obediently. I wanted to ask him to at least change his posture because he was a bit out of shape, but I saw the fight in broad daylight and I didn’t want to do anything that would offend him, so I kept my mouth shut.

Sabagsabag-

It was only after Cordelia had walked for a while that she could see the cabin, wondering how deep she had been dragged into it. When I was being dragged by the beast, I didn’t notice because the background passed by quickly, but I thought I knew why people didn’t come running right away even though I screamed and went crazy.

At this distance, even if you make a loud noise, it may be faintly heard or mistaken for the howling of a wild animal.

“Now I’ll go back on my own.”

Since you’re on a familiar path, ask Cordelia to take you down. To be honest, I felt sorry for continuing to hang on like a burden, and I wanted to quickly go back, take an antidote, and escape to a safe place.

To some, it may seem like I’m running away from Cordelia, but honestly, I’m grateful for the help. No matter how foolish or foolish I am, I am not an ungrateful person who does not know grace.

But apart from that, I guess it’s because I know her past. A feeling of rejection inside me… . I don’t know if there were other people around, but I wanted to leave quickly because I didn’t know what would happen to her if they were together.

To be honest, I still don’t know what Cordelia does. I couldn’t help but feel wary, seeing that he could be even crazier than Bishop Lisa, just by the standards of the game.

“What should I do with the poison?”

“Ah, that’s holy water… .”

“It won’t work?”

“Yes?”

“What you got hit was poison to the heart.”

“Poetry, read carefully?”

Deep reading?

what is that? It’s a name that would appear in a martial arts magazine somewhere. I don’t understand, so I tilt my head. Cordelia looks at my foolish face and lets out a deep sigh. She suddenly changed her path and took me into the cabin where she lived.

“Cordelia? Where am I… .”

“The lady’s snout is fluttering, it’s noisy. Just shut up… .”

“… ”

A quiet, but overbearing tone of voice that automatically closes the mouth.

Cordelia steps through the half-broken door. In the light of the lantern, my narrow field of vision widened and became brighter.

“Ugh!”

Before I can even look around the room, Cordelia throws me onto the bed. A moan that comes out from the soft but subtle shock that is felt at the same time. Frowning, I woke up feeling numb.

…

Ugh… . Damn, it’s a mountain beyond a mountain… .

I barely escaped from the giant Nepenthes, but I couldn’t avoid a good situation.

I straighten my mind, which has been clouded by the poison, and focus my gaze forward. Cordelia knelt down and was rummaging through the drawers, looking for something.

“Whoop!”

Wait a minute, but this situation seems to be getting worse… .

I lean my back against the crumbling wall. I had to quickly drink holy water or do something to detoxify, but as time went by, the sensation in my hands and feet seemed to be getting duller.

Plus, cold sweat is flowing… .

Now I was so dizzy that even my otherwise normal vision seemed blurry.

“Ha… . ha… .”

My breathing gradually becomes shorter.

It’s still worth holding on to, but that’s just it. If I continue like this, my body will only be ruined.

however… . What does it mean not to use holy water?

Apparently, Cordelia said that the poison of the giant Nepenthes was deep poison, so holy water would not be able to cure it.

If what he said was true, this was really serious, and I thought he must have found some way to bring me here, so I decided to wait for now.

“Here it is. Wait a moment.”

Cordelia glances at my condition and mixes the medicine. Are wizards these days even learning how to make antidotes?

I don’t know. I felt like my head was going to explode at any moment.

“Sip it in.”

“Yes… .”

He passes the black liquid contained in the wooden plate to me. At first glance, it looked like something I shouldn’t eat, but I had a strong desire to live, so I gulped down whatever was given to me.

“Oop!”

“Drink it all. That’s how you get better.”

For a moment, the disgusting feeling came back to me, but when I was told to force myself to swallow it, I squinted and swallowed it.

Only after forcing something that doesn’t fit in like that, do you take a deep breath. Just by smelling it, a terrible smell came out of my mouth.

“That’s it. It will get better in a little while.”

“Ha… . ha… .”

Just as Cordelia said, it won’t be long before the effect starts to take effect and the headache that seemed like it was going to break is slowly going away. My body, which had been extremely heavy, became lighter. Above all, the pain that seemed to be hitting my heart was diluted.

“This guy’s poison is a poison that takes root in the soul, not the body. I brought him here because he couldn’t be treated with regular medicines like holy water. Don’t misunderstand.”

“… ”

A poison that cannot be cured with holy water? what? Is this guy trying to trick me?

In fact, as Cordelia said, there are poisons that cannot be cured with holy water, and since I work in the religious order, I know to some extent.

Of course, we don’t call this deep reading, we just call it a curse.

What I don’t understand is that such dangerous poisons only exist in the demonic beasts living on the Demon Continent… .

I didn’t understand why it was mentioned here.

“Ha… . ha… . Cordelia, that poison… . Isn’t it only on the Demon Continent?”

“I don’t know, but some time ago, demonic beasts that can use mind reading started appearing one by one. It’s probably because of the seeds of disaster you’re talking about.”

Although Cordelia was speaking indifferently, there were still too many things I did not understand. The seeds of disaster could be a problem, but even if you look at it and think about it, it spread abnormally quickly.

The story has just begun in earnest, but suddenly a poisonous creature from the Demon Continent comes across the sea?

This was something that could never happen.

They came across the sea exactly three years after the hero was elected. At least until then, peace on the continent had to be maintained.

“Ha… . ha… . But how did Cordelia know that and treat me? ?”

“I know because I experienced it too. Still, you’re lucky. Because it can be treated immediately after detection… .”

“Yes?”

Cordelia smiled once, spit out something meaningful, and rolled up the sleeve on her left arm. Soon her hidden arms were revealed.

“… ”

An arm that is grotesquely twisted with dark red veins clearly visible. I didn’t notice it because it was inside the clothes, but it was so dry, as if all the moisture had been sucked out, that it seemed like it would snap and break if I applied too much force.

“In my case, the treatment was a little late. I almost lost the use of one arm at all.”

No, wait, is this real? That’s definitely a symptom that appears when the poison has spread. I couldn’t believe it, but with clear evidence presented before my eyes, I had no words to refute.

Let’s look at it with a confused expression for a while. Cordelia lowers her sleeves again as if she is embarrassed. Then she sat down on the cylindrical chair across from me. He placed his arm on the table and tapped his fingers.

“Unless you want to be like me, you should drink all the remaining medicine.”

@@@@@

Let’s drink all the medicine on the plate. My blurred mind becomes clear. Cordelia didn’t touch me at all after that, as if she had really brought me here purely for the purpose of treatment.

Since I’ve been through a lot of things recently, I thought I might be treated in an unspeakable way in the cabin, but that didn’t happen.

I also have quite a bit of paranoia… .

I feel sorry for Cordelia because the positions of men and women have changed and there have been many actual incidents, but I couldn’t help but be suspicious.

“Are you feeling better?”

“Yes, I can move a bit now.”

The shivering was gone. My body and mind became lighter, and my breathing also calmed down to some extent.

Did I really misunderstand?

At first, I thought he was a scary person, but after talking to him for a while, I found out that he was actually a nice person.

I’m still wary of being a church person, but that’s something I can’t help. Even though it was my first time seeing her, she treated me with the utmost sincerity.

“It’s a medicine that warms the body. Eat it now and it will be meaningless once it cools down.”

“Ah, thank you.”

Is this really the same person who caused a disturbance earlier? Now, I was starting to feel sorry for even getting help.

“Hmm… . When I looked at your rosary earlier, I noticed that you were different. Are you a saint of the religious order?”

“Ah, yes. This is Saint Isaiah.”

Cordelia, who was looking at me closely as if looking at a strange animal, asked. I stop eating and answer quickly.

However, she soon waved her hand as if telling her to finish eating. He seemed to not want to have a very deep conversation, but his chin was resting on his strangely bent hand and his eyes were tired.

really… . I think people are nice… .

I don’t know why I did that earlier.

In fact, even in the game, he was not that reluctant to join the warrior’s group. Are you saying it’s interfering with your research? However, I remember that he did not display murderous intent to the extent of harming anyone… .

I don’t know. Because the previous world was different from the world I am in now, there was a severe lack of information.
