“This is Tridia’s church… It’s quite big.”
Aria was impressed when she saw the church dedicated to the God of Light in the commercial city.
At least it can be said to be the largest among the churches Aria has seen.
“Because it’s a commercial city.”
“Does it have anything to do with being a commercial city?”
“As there are a lot of goods coming and going, the population is also growing. Then, naturally, the number of believers in the church also increases.”
“Are you saying that the church where believers will come must also be that big?”
“That’s right.”
In reality, there were many believers who regularly went to church and prayed in commercial cities.
Even if it was not specifically clergymen or priests, ordinary residents and adventurers who believed in the God of Light also visited the church, so it was bound to be much larger than churches in other villages.
The inside of the church was huge and had a solemn atmosphere.
“Welcome, brothers and sisters.”
And as she entered the church, a priest welcomed Nellis Party.
“No, this is Brother Kalt. It’s been a while.”
“It’s been a while, Priest Bremer. How have you been?”
“Yes. Thanks to the God of Light. Are you here for prayer or healing?”
“No, I have something to say to the priest today.”
“You have something to say to me. I understand. Let’s prepare a place for you. Please come this way. Sister Lucy, please take a moment.”
“Yes, Father Bremer.”
After asking the nun for a favor, Father Bremer took Nellis Party to a parlor inside the church.
“Brother Kalt, what do you have to say?”
“Before that, let me introduce myself. This is Aria, the healer and assistant in our party.”
“Hello, Priest Bremer.”
“Aria… That’s a name I’ve heard before somewhere.”
“Aria. Show it to Priest Bremer.”
“…Yes, Kalt.”
Arya believed in Kalt and took off her gloves and showed her palms to Bremer.
“That… stigmata! Ah, yes. Speaking of Aria, she must have been a candidate for sainthood… who appeared a few years ago.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“With the candidate for sainthood… what is your business, Brother Kalt?”
“It would be best to tell her that it is new equipment… a uniform. I would like you to provide her with a uniform.”
“Sacred clothes… you mean?”
“yes.”
“But if you’re a candidate for a saint, you’re definitely… hmm.”
Priest Bremer was silent for a moment, lost in thought, and then looked closely at the clothes Aria was wearing.
“if….”
Priest Bremer approached Aria and asked.
“Aria. Do you mind if I look at your clothes for a moment?”
“yes.”
“Excuse me.”
Priest Bremer took hold of the gloves that Aria had just taken off and the veil that Aria was wearing and looked at her closely.
“Indeed… that was it. I understood Brother Kalt’s meaning well.”
After leaving Arya, Priest Bremer shook his head.
“However, it will be difficult to prepare new uniforms.”
“Why?”
“This is because we cannot ignore the will of the church that gave us these vestments.”
The interpretation of what Priest Bremer said was as follows.
The church that distributed these clothes is not stupid either.
There must be some meaning behind distributing this level of clothing.
If they arbitrarily give better clothes, they may look down on or dishonor the church.
“….”
As Aria had been in the church for a long time, she could immediately understand what Priest Bremer meant.
And Kalt also knew that this kind of reaction would come.
“I understand what Priest Bremer means. But why don’t you think about it again? People grow. Aria has also grown now, unlike when she received her holy clothes. That growth can definitely be seen in Aria back then. “I think it will be a new possibility that has never been seen before.”
“But….”
“This is the proof.”
Kalt took out a heavy money bag from his bag.
“This….”
From this point on, Kalt continued speaking rapidly.
“This is part of a request we have recently succeeded in. No matter how excellent a vanguard or mage you are, if there is no healer to support and assist them, the success rate of the request will only decrease. And Aria, who is in our party, has shown great growth recently. “Aria thought that her growth was due to her faithful heart toward the God of Light and the grace she received from the God of Light. This was her way of expressing that gratitude in some way.”
Aria, who heard Kalt’s rapid-fire words, blinked and looked at Kalt.
That’s how growth is happening. However, there was no request that allowed him to grow and shine.
The only thing that has been active recently is using Holy Sword, a holy attack magic, at the Kobold King.
I am trying to overcome my problems by praying to the God of Light every day.
I think that Kalt’s help helped me a lot in my growth.
Of course, I am grateful to the God of Light for giving me the power to protect my colleagues, but I never thought of expressing my gratitude directly with money.
Aria wanted to ask Kalt what this meant.
With a soft tap, Scarlett tapped Aria’s thigh, calming Aria’s impulse.
“Indeed, that makes sense.”
Looking at the money bag, Priest Bremer nodded and put the money bag in his arms.
“I lacked insight. People grow. Even if they face a problem, they can overcome it.”
“Yes. When you add the blessings of the God of Light, a person can gain even more strength.”
“That is correct.”
Priest Bremer, with a big smile on his face, stood up and said:
“Please wait a moment, Aria. I will bring you the appropriate attire.”
When Father Bremer left the drawing room for a moment.
Arya immediately asked Kalt.
“Kah, Kalt! What on earth does this mean!?”
“Well, it’s the process for Aria to get new clothes.”
“B-but…!”
“Aria, this church also needs a cause after all.”
“Justice… you mean?”
“Yes. As Priest Bremer said earlier, you won’t be able to readily prepare new clothes. If you do that, you can say that the church where Aria originally was located is wrong. So, after giving an appropriate justification.”
Kalt grinned, making a circle with his middle finger and thumb.
“If you show sincerity, it will be easier for Priest Bremer to prepare new clothes for you.”
After listening to Kalt’s explanation, Nellis spoke with sincerity.
“Wow, that’s snobbish.”
“In the first place, the church also likes money. It needs money to feed its believers and priests.”
‘They just don’t show it openly.’
“But Kalt, the money you just paid….”
“I just took some money from the money I earned when I killed the Kobold King.”
“Well, then please tell me the amount you paid. That’s how much I paid to Kalt….”
“Let’s talk about that later, because I don’t know when Priest Bremer will return.”
“…yes.”
After a while, Priest Bremer returned with the vestments.
“Thank you for waiting. This is the attire that will suit Aria.”
When Priest Bremer brought the holy clothes, Aria got up and approached her because she could still receive new clothes.
“These… are the same clothes?”
“No, the function of the blessing and the clothes themselves are even more excellent. I thought it would be better if it was something I was used to wearing on a daily basis, so I brought clothes of the same design. Didn’t you like it?”
“Oh, no! That’s not it. Are there any more features?”
“It will protect you from monster attacks more firmly than existing holy clothes, and you can collect divine power faster when using blessings. Plus… no matter how torn it is, it will be restored over time.”
“To restoration…!”
“And there’s no need to wash it. There’s no need to use purification.”
“Wow!”
“No need to wash? Cleanse?”
The women of Nellis’ party were simultaneously surprised by Priest Bremer’s words.
When you travel, it is inevitable that your clothes and body will get dirty.
In such cases, one of the roles that the healer considers important is cleanliness.
Purification, a blessing that can be exercised through divine power.
With this, you don’t have to worry about getting sick from uncleanness while traveling.
Additionally, purification also removes dirt from clothes.
But even that is only a certain amount of dirt.
Clothes that are heavily soiled or worn for more than a few days cannot be completely treated by purification and have no choice but to be washed.
However, this garment does not require washing.
Usually, when doing laundry, Nellis Party has often done it all at once.
But after Kalt, a man, came in, I began to secretly wash my clothes.
No matter how gentlemanly and capable Kalt was, she was so shameful as a woman that she could not ask him to do the laundry.
Nellis and Scarlett looked at Aria with envious eyes.
“B-Can I try it on right away?”
“Of course. There’s no one in that room, so you can try it on right away.”
“yes!”
Aria was happy to have received new clothes and went straight into the room pointed out by Priest Bremer.
Since there was no one in the room, it was perfect for changing clothes.
Even if I had to discuss money issues later with Kalt, I was still happy to wear new clothes.
Plus, the performance is better.
Aria took off the clothes she was currently wearing and tried to put on the clothes that Bremer had brought her.
“Uh, how come… are you standing?”
Obviously the design was almost the same.
Aria’s clothes are like full body tights, so she doesn’t expose her bare skin.
It was an ordinary nun’s uniform with a design that exposed the chest and bold slits on both sides that exposed not only the thighs but also slightly below the waist.
And even if it wasn’t visible from the outside, there was a high-legged part inside the costume that covered the private parts.
however.
“Why… isn’t there one?”
The uniform prepared by Bremer did not have the high-leg part.
Aria was irritated and broke into a cold sweat.
