“Because there is nothing…”
Van and Sonia have a heartbreaking reunion. The two finished a simple meal. The menu was a simple stew made with dried fish and herbs.
It wasn’t a dish that Van was very excited about. Because there were no special spices, there was no taste other than simple seasoning and the flavor of the fish.
“No! Still, it’s delicious?”
“···Thank goodness.”
However, Sonia moved her spoon eagerly, as if she was satisfied with her first meal in a long time, and soon the bowl was empty. Sonia patted her skinny stomach.
“······.”
“······.”
As the meal ended, the atmosphere between the two became mysterious. It was because I remembered something I had put off earlier.
The two people hugging each other were clearly too affectionate to be considered a relationship between a servant and a young lady. It was a quite difficult topic for the two of them, who had never seriously thought about their love for each other.
“Then, I will organize it and come back.”
“Ah, yes! Shall I go out together?”
“The lady is not sure how she is feeling yet. So-”
“It’s all healed… Okay. I’m going to do some cleaning.”
“Thank you.”
Rattling. Half of us put the dishes in a basket and headed to the river. Sonia stared at the back of Van’s head as he opened the door and left.
“···Ha.”
My heart is pounding. Sonia’s heart was beating wildly, showing no signs of stopping.

“Then, let’s try.”
“Ugh···.”
wickedness-! Ban carefully placed the dagger in his hand on his forearm. Blood flowed from a shallow wound.
“···As expected.”
However, the cuts soon became glued together and healed completely. Soon, Sonia, holding the handed dagger in her hand, also pointed the tip of her finger.
“Really?”
Half of Sonia’s fingers, which were dripping with blood, were held together. Soon after, the wound was sutured and the blood stopped flowing.
That wasn’t the only change. Ban put a poisonous plant in his mouth that he found while looking for medicinal herbs. Unlike before, there was no sign of addiction.
After a strange picture was drawn on my palm, no one told me, but I knew half of it. He gained two abilities: regeneration and immunity to poison.
“Ugh… I think I’ve heard of it! They say that sometimes the gods give blessings. This pattern is a token of that.”
“A blessing?”
Ban’s eyebrows furrowed. I don’t even believe in a god, but it’s a blessing. I felt like I was on a blind date.
“Yes. It’s just my guess… but perhaps it’s a blessing from the God of Life?”
Sonia, who was looking back on her past memories, carefully made a guess.
“I heard that the God of Life grants the power to heal wounds and drive away diseases. That’s why I believe it has the most believers.”
After hearing the guess, Ban slowly nodded. Actually, I didn’t know anything about God, but I accepted what Sonia said, thinking it was vague.
“When the situation calms down, let’s go to the temple where believers in the God of Life gather. Because you might find out something!”
“Yes. I understand.”
Sonia’s face looked quite bright as she brought up the future. It seems that he is happy that his user has become more special.
“···Let’s go together. I wanted to go once.”
No, now, for Sonia, the existence of Ban has too much meaning to simply dismiss her as a servant. Just thinking about it makes my heart race, and just looking at your face makes me happy. Such a being.
After Ban was blessed and the pattern was engraved, their lives quickly stabilized. I don’t know why, but the two no longer suffered from minor illnesses.
Rather, my body felt more vibrant than before. Thanks to this, the two were able to continue living a happier life than before.
It was natural that the two became closer in the process. The time spent secretly touching each other became longer and we couldn’t take our eyes off each other. Sonia waited for Van to return, and Van did his best to hunt for Sonia.
The two, who had become closer together, worked together to barely survive the winter, and then spring passed and summer came.
“It’s been a while, Sonia. And… half.”
Bert is back.

“······.”
The yard of the house where Moana lives. Revan was sitting on the bench there with his head down.
blessing. It’s a blessing. Revan pondered the story he had just heard.
The time when the pattern was engraved and the power first manifested. God-given strength for the lowest. It was easy to find out when that time was.
“Probably when I almost died with the young lady.”
Memories that had been buried in one corner of his mind for a long time came out and disturbed Revan’s mind. ha. A deep sigh escaped.
Of course, I was grateful to God for giving me the power. If it weren’t for this blessing, Sonia and I would have died, and furthermore, we wouldn’t have been able to survive Faust’s transformation.
However, it was inevitable that I would feel distraught. A problem I had been worrying about for several years was solved, but I did not feel any sense of accomplishment or relief.
While Revan was wrapping his head, he heard a sound approaching.
“What are you doing here in such a difficult situation? It’s cold too.”
“···Senior?”
What Revan saw when he raised his head was El with white hair. And in his hands was a purple bottle and a basket.
“What is that?”
“Moana gave it to me as a gift. Hey, because they are elves, their level of maturity is different. Almost 100 years!”
“······?”
Revan’s brows narrowed as he looked at the wine bottle making a clinking sound. El approached and sat down next to Revan.
“I heard that if something bad happens, it is sometimes good to try the power of alcohol.”
El inserted the awl into the cork and applied a little force. Soon, I heard the sound of air escaping.
El took out a glass and snacks from the basket she brought along with the wine bottle.
“···Mug? Sandwich?”
“What are you dissatisfied with?”
“That’s not it…”
What was taken out of the brown basket were a mug and a sandwich. It was an unfamiliar combination to Revan, who worked as Sonia’s servant and observed the behavior of nobles.
“character.”
“Yes?”
“Then shall I follow first? Of course, shouldn’t your junior follow suit first?”
L proudly held out the cup. The sight was absurd, but Revan soon tilted the bottle.
“···Why are you so skilled?”
“Because I learned it.”
Revan’s appearance as he tilted the bottle and poured it into the glass showed restraint and skill. It was one of the cultures taught by Carls.
“Okay, then I will follow you.”
L, who looked embarrassed at the sight, took the wine bottle and tilted it.
However, his appearance was completely different from what Revan had just shown. A clear gurgling sound filled the quiet yard.
“······Absorption.”
“If you smile, you will be left behind. Junior.”
Looking at El with red cheeks, Revan desperately suppressed laughter. And when the glass was somewhat full, the two raised their glasses.
“I heard there was a toast. Is that correct?”
“Not good at solemn occasions.”
“This is the backyard, so what do you think?”
Big. El cleared her throat and muttered.
“I hope everything goes well in the future.”
“···Hopefully.”
The two glasses clinked together and made a sound. Because it wasn’t glass, it made a slightly dull sound.

“Suddenly, I wonder if we were fools.”
“······.”
king. L opened her mouth and put the sandwich she brought as a snack into her mouth.
As a result, the two did not feel anything similar to intoxication. It was because of their abilities.
L’s purification erased the intoxication that alcohol brings as if it were natural.
Revan’s situation was no different. The pattern on the back of the hand recognized wine as poison. Of course, there was no sign of intoxication. It was natural.
“I wonder why I eat this bitter stuff…”
El, who had passed the sandwich down her throat, stuck out her tongue and muttered quietly. It was a voice full of dissatisfaction.
“···Is this your first time?”
“Can’t we do that?”
“No, that’s not it…”
L, who pretended to be an expert, slyly revealed that it was her first time drinking alcohol. Revan asked.
“Then what did you imagine it would taste like?”
“No, the book always said something sweet and fragrant.”
“······.”
“Don’t laugh, junior. I’m really dying.”
“I will endure it as much as I can.”
Let’s drive away your worries with a drink! The meeting, which started for that reason, turned into a conversation about trivial matters. Stories with relatively light topics, including things that happened at the academy.
“I wonder what happened to senior Werner by now.”
“If you had any sense, you would have become lovers by now. When I looked at Annika senior’s eyes, I knew that not much time was left.”
As a result, the initial goal of relieving tension was achieved. After laughing and talking for hours, the two returned to Moana’s house and went to sleep.

“You can stay a few more days. It’s a shame.”
“I will stop by when I have time.”
“Okay~ What is there to see in a village like this?”
The sun rose, Revan and L packed their bags and opened the front door. Moana was seeing him off behind him.
“L? Is there the wine you gave me yesterday?”
“Yes. Moana”
“That wine is the elf elder’s favorite wine right now? Try to use it somehow when negotiating.”
“···Yes?”
I flinch. El’s body trembled greatly. Revan raised his hand and placed it on his temple.
“···Maybe you?”
“That, that.”
“No, are you already turning your attention to alcohol? You are still ten-”
“Wow!”
Tup! El, who suddenly screamed, rushed forward and covered Moana’s mouth with her palm. Revan’s brows narrowed.
In the end, Moana sighed and took out another bottle of wine from the basement. After receiving the wine, El and Revan set off toward their destination.
