“Damn it. Were you just pretending to be fine with this body?”

Since I call him Gwangnyeon, he actually acts like Gwangnyeon.

“What kind of damn scenario is going on without a break?!”

Franc’s scenario progressed much faster than I expected.

I didn’t know that Franc’s stomach had already been pierced.

It looks like it was wrapped clumsily with a bandage, but it must have been raining for a while while I was in pain, so it would have been impossible not to get sick.

“Did you get treatment?!”

I couldn’t understand why he neglected his wounds when his ability was to heal wounds.

The dark red blood stains on the bandage indicated that the situation was not unusual.

I unwrapped the bandage and checked the wound.

“I did the treatment, but it didn’t work because I didn’t have enough strength.”

Was it because of sloppy treatment?

It felt like the healed wound had burst again, as if I had ignored the pain and moved.

Seeing that the child was unable to come to his senses seemed like he had no energy.

‘If it went according to the scenario, it would be worth it. ‘I would have had to use strength to get out of the church.’

No matter how great the awakened person was, it would have been difficult for her, a healer, to easily defeat dozens of young men.

In a situation where you are mentally concentrated, isn’t your stomach full of pain?

It would have been difficult to concentrate on the battle itself, and it would have been difficult to harm the members of the church, making him nervous.

‘It’s obvious, it’s obvious. The situation is too unfavorable.’

Fran has no intention of hurting the Order, but the Order is trying to harm her.

Moreover, his stomach must have been pierced before the battle began, so his physical condition must have been poor.

It was amazing that he came all the way here with only his stomach pierced and no serious injuries.

‘Or have you lost all your strength while treating other wounds?’

The wound on his stomach may have been so large that it was all that was left.

“I need to get treatment first.”

It was a good thing you came to see me when you were hurt.

There were various stamina recovery potions in my inventory.

‘If I had known sooner, I would have put stamina recovery medicine in the soup. ‘This guy is so patient…’

It’s surprising that I didn’t notice that I was sick the whole time I was eating the soup.

I opened the mouth of the fainted Fran and poured the stamina recovery potion into it.

As I drank the medicine with great effort, the punctured wound began to heal noticeably.

I couldn’t help but still have a pale complexion.

At this rate, a lot of blood would have been shed.

You must wait until time passes and your stamina recovers.

“It looks like you’re into nursing all of a sudden.”

You expect nursing from a mercenary.

She was a dastardly woman.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

“Hmph!”

Fran came to his senses and tried to get out of bed, but he frowned and groaned as if he was in pain due to the wound on his abdomen.

“Are you awake?”

I spoke in a calm voice to Fran, who opened his eyes in great confusion.

“..mister?”

Fran recognized my voice and looked at me.

“Yes, it’s me.”

It was the next afternoon that Fran came to his senses.

I had a high fever for a long time, but thanks to consistently taking stamina recovery pills, I regained a lot of stamina and gained energy.

The problem is that he had nightmares all night.

Since something bad must have happened to you, it is not strange to have such a dream.

I couldn’t sleep because I was whining like a puppy looking for its mother, so I had to spend the night with my eyes open.

“You were startled when you suddenly fell down.”

It wasn’t the right thing to say to a kid who had just come to his senses, but I said it with a bit of anger on purpose.

“Did I faint?”

“Okay, man. From now on, if you get hurt, tell me quickly. Don’t make people startle.”

“Yes…I’m sorry.”

Since I didn’t want to continue to apologize to the person who was hurt, I told him not to force himself to get up and to stay in bed a little longer.

“The room you will be using is being cleaned right now. You will be able to sleep there starting tomorrow. It is smaller than here, but you should understand that.”

“My room?!”

“Then did you think I would let my unmarried wife sleep in my bed?”

I don’t know what kind of guy you think I am.

“I think it’s too much of a nuisance…”

“They said I could stay for one or two years, but I will apply for the dormitory after the vacation is over. Stay there until then. Don’t feel pressured.”

Being stabbed in the stomach is no different from the fact that Fran came with his religious leader and luggage.

In this situation, returning to the church would mean dying, and the only place you could avoid it would be the academy’s dormitory.

Until then, you can just stay at my house.

“…thank you.”

“Who did that anyway?”

“yes?”

“The stomach. It wasn’t completely healed and it was bleeding profusely.”

“!!”

Fran belatedly remembered the wound on his stomach, so he pulled up his t-shirt and checked the wound.

I was surprised to see it neatly wrapped in new bandages.

“Did your uncle do it for you?”

“Uh. The wound was deep and not fully healed. It would be much more effective to treat it with your abilities rather than a stamina recovery potion. When you regain strength, be sure to treat the wound first.”

“Oh! I was so distracted that I forgot.”

I can’t believe you forgot to mention the serious wounds that would have killed an ordinary person.

It’s surprising and shocking.

Well, with a body like this, I guess I can survive in the contaminated zone and kill monsters.

Fran used his abilities to heal his stomach.

As I used my ability, my pale complexion became brighter.

“Ugh…”

“I told you not to get up.”

“I got better after treatment. That’s because I still have some muscle pain.”

Fran got up from his seat quite courageously.

“Would you like me to cook dinner for you?”

“He says he gives me food every time he sees me.”

Korean people are just like that.

Asking if you’ve eaten is a normal greeting.

“So you’re not hungry?”

“No, I’m hungry.”

“Yeah. I thought so.”

You’re probably very hungry because you’re bleeding so much and sweating a lot because you’ve been sick all night.

“Wash up and come out. I’ll prepare dinner for you.”

Isn’t it funny to wear a bandage on a wound that has fully healed?

I gave Fran some clothes and sent him into the bathroom.

I also didn’t forget to bring along the underwear that dried out overnight.

Instead of the soup I fed him yesterday, I thought I should cook him something hearty to help him regain his stamina.

“thank you for this food.”

Although it is a late lunch, it is like breakfast to him, so he chews the chicken well.

It was samgyetang, made by boiling chicken thoroughly and adding healthy medicinal ingredients.

I think there is nothing better than samgyetang for recovering physical strength.

Even the rice, which I’m not used to eating here, was rolled up and eaten thickly.

After finishing feeding, I asked the child who was lying down lazily once again.

“So who are you?”

“yes?”

“Don’t act like a fool. Are you planning on not telling me until the end? There’s no way you could have been harmed by just anyone…did it just happen that the cult leader stabbed you in the stomach?”

If I didn’t urge him like this, I felt like he would try to hide his situation and not tell me until the end.

It’s embarrassing to keep pretending you don’t know something when you already know it.

And there was a reason why I needed to know his situation.

“!!!!”

Fran, who had been caught in the crosshairs because he already knew the situation, kept his mouth shut as if speechless.

“Looking at your expression, it’s true.”

“It’s not a good thing to hear.”

“That’s up to me to decide.”

“…Could you please organize your thoughts a little and tell me?”

“Is this something you can say out of your mouth even if you give them time? Normally, when people have troubles, they talk to friends or similar things to relieve their feelings. And it’s not that I don’t know the situation, and I’m just saying this because I have a rough guess. ”

Of course I know.

I can’t even be a friend to him.

However, I think there is no one better than me, who knows everything about the situation, to express my inner feelings.

Where can he go and see the evil of the religious order?

‘It’s like spitting in your own face.’

Even if you think about the church’s image, you won’t be able to do that.

‘The image of that church has already deteriorated for a long time.’

Fran was having trouble coming out words, he was dabbing his lips several times and thinking about it before he spoke.

“…Actually, like you said, I went to see the religious leader. I thought I needed to stop what was happening in the religious community.”

“Well, I guess I didn’t hear any good things about it.”

“The leader said he didn’t know. I had some doubts, but I believed what the leader said.”

Fran calmly explains the events of that day.

As the final tragedy approached, Fran’s voice trembled more and more.

Just thinking about it again would be difficult.

Still, I didn’t tell Fran to stop talking.

And finally, the story reached the moment when Fran was stabbed by the cult leader.

“You didn’t kill him, right?”

“Me, the leader?! This is ridiculous!”

“It’s a shame. They must have tried to kill you.”

“…..”

“Didn’t you feel betrayed?”

“It’s because of a misunderstanding. You think I’m trying to kill the cult leader.”

“They’ll never think it was a misunderstanding, right? The fact that the cult leader stuck a knife in your stomach means I can no longer trust you.”

The person who had been imprisoned suddenly came to the room he was alone in.

A person like the cult leader who gets stabbed a lot would naturally have thought that she had come to harm him.

‘Well, the only thing I could see was something.’

The cult leader must have been a threat to Franc.

If Fran, the awakened person, betrays, the church may collapse.

‘I guess I wasn’t scared only when I believed that I could control the Franc. The child must have been obedient.’

But Fran rebelled?

You must have been embarrassed by something unexpected.

Rebelling once means that something like this can happen again at any time.

Could the religious leader really believe in the trust that had been breached?

The person himself is no different from a traitor.

Meanwhile, Fran managed to escape from prison, so it wouldn’t be surprising to think that his life was in danger.

“I wanted to clear up the misunderstanding, but the leader didn’t believe me. Everyone was excited, and I couldn’t die like this.”

I fought back to survive.

The difference between the awakened and the commoners was clear, and they could not help but be even more frightened by the power that was so strong.

A vicious cycle has emerged.

“Even though I gave them treatment… they were terrified, even though I didn’t do anything. Plus, I was already injured and bleeding!”

“So that’s why you ran away here.”

“Have I done something presumptuous?”

“Well, that’s right. Are you in the cult because you like the cult leader, or are you following the cult leader because you like the cult?”

“Neither. I like the leader, and I like the church.”

Perhaps thinking this way is why Fran’s true ending is bound to be desolate and tragic.

“Are you going to insist immaturely when you have to choose between the two? The cult leader tried to kill you, and the cult will act according to the cult leader’s will. This means that the cult you love is holding a knife to your throat.”

“We just need to clear up the misunderstanding.”

It makes no sense to resolve misunderstandings.

And even if the misunderstanding is miraculously resolved, the situation will not get better.

“Even if we clear up the misunderstanding, can a person who has already been distracted by money go back to the way he was before? So you have to make a decision. Is it a cult leader or a cult?”
