14 Saint (1)
Illisia rubbed her eyes and woke up.
These days, she has been repeating her daily routine of sleeping late and waking up late.
I couldn’t fall asleep at night and didn’t want to wake up in the morning from my dream.
The reason was Ray.
I was always worried and nervous about the bad things that happened with him.
‘I wish I could find him sooner…’
If I knew where he was, I could have gone to him and apologized, but I wasn’t sure where he was.
I searched mainly in the village and even the forest, but it seems that I have not found it yet.
she let out a sigh.
The guilt she felt at such a young age was too great for her to feel when she was only fourteen.

Currently, there is a saint in the Kingdom of Celia.
After being baptized and educated in the Holy Land, he was traveling around the neighboring countries to gain experience.
The kingdom of Celia, which was chosen as one of them, was treating her extremely well.
It was because if he had a good relationship with the saintess, there would be nothing bad about the future.
The kingdom gave an outbuilding to the saintess and her companions.
In the annex, Saint Iriel lay her weary body on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
The eyes of her repeating very boring tasks, such as meeting nobles all day and taking classes on divine power, were not the eyes of a revered saint.
If I had to compare it, it would be like a penguin that collapsed after eating the heat on a hot day.
Iriel brushed his hair on the bed.
She was just getting tired of her routine.
Having to go from the Holy Kingdom to the Celia Kingdom and to another kingdom again, her daily life was difficult, but she couldn’t feel the fun.
Usually at a young age, when hard work continues, it is natural to complain.
However, the position of a saint and the heavy people around her were not people to complain about.
Iriel didn’t know that.
All I could do was roll around in the room I was left alone with, or stir-fry the priests.
But she also had something of interest recently.
It was the emergence of a new saint.
Being a saint was a light to himself in the dull and dull everyday life.
She had the only person who could understand her position as a saint she hadn’t been able to talk about before.
The saintess wanted to be the first to hear the news, which was like a lifeline.
So, if information came in, I asked him to report it to himself first, not a request.
They could not disobey the words of the saintess, who was called the representative of God.
How much I liked seeing them nodding their heads.
All she had to do now was wait for the saint to appear.

“That’s why you don’t need a mana circle… The reason why the mana density is high is because, according to you, you draw pure mana without using a circle.”
Ray nodded at Ale’s words.
Ale and Sain understood most of what he said.
It’s just that it didn’t happen in reality and most of the people who tried it failed, so I couldn’t believe it easily.
Even when he proved that by dispersing the world’s mana, he was very surprised, but he clearly believed in it.
Ray spoke again.
“That explains why I failed with my healing magic.”
“Are you talking about heels? But you succeeded earlier.”
Ale seemed puzzled, and Ray explained.
“Actually, my magic didn’t fail. The deer just died because it couldn’t handle the density of my mana.”
Then Se-in clenched his fist as if he finally found out.
“ah! So the reason the deer died was because it didn’t have a mana load.”
“Half right and half wrong, Mom.”
“huh?”
When I tilted my head again as if I didn’t understand, Ray added an explanation.
“Even if you have a mana rod, if you can’t handle it, mana flows back and you die. So my healing magic has to withstand that density.”
“So you’re saying that even a normal person will die if they don’t have a mana rod that can withstand the density of your mana?”
“I probably think so.”
her.
He had never heard of a healing magic that killed people.
Sein said as if he was amazed.
“You really are a foolish wizard.”
“I think so. ha ha ha.”
Seeing him scratching the back of his head and talking shyly, Sein let out a sigh.
“Who do you look like… But thank you for telling me. There was a reason for your unknown power…”
“Somehow… then you weren’t even an Aura user?”
Ale felt that Ray’s aura was strange as he clashed his swords.
However, at the time, I thought it was because it was still an early Auror user, but after hearing the story, it seemed quite different from the first Auror user.
Ray nodded again.
“This is the first time learning the sword itself. Aura was created by forcibly consolidating mana. It’s different from a real sword aura.”
However, Ale was even more surprised by those words.
‘You’re not even an aura user, but you’re spewing out a sword aura? Enough to push me too? It was too hard for a mana that was forcibly gathered.’
I don’t know what will happen in the future, but Ray’s growth rate is truly frightening, so I couldn’t imagine what kind of power he would have when his mana and learning were combined.
* * *
It’s been two weeks since he told Sein and Ale about his powers.
It seems that the parents also discussed the new genius of their son and had a lot of conversations about the future.
There were various opinions, such as sending him to the academy and being invited as a professor at the academic society, etc., but the discussion ended with Ray’s age still being young, so let’s just leave it alone for now.
He also had no complaints.
No, it could have been better.
Without knowing the medical knowledge here, he could not know what kind of disease he had or how well his medicine would work.
It was an unacceptable problem for Ray, who considered his calling as a doctor.
‘The only way to find out is through experience.’
Since there was not a single book on medicine at home, there would be no choice but to look for a library in town or go out to the city.
And now, rather than building knowledge, the priority is to return the hand sense to its original state through practice.
For that, I had no choice but to go to the village once again.
* * *
The next day, Ray headed for the village with the same plank as last time.
It was an instant to feel something strange.
Most people wanted to look at him, but he was muttering openly.
“Isn’t that kid over there?”
“He has gray hair and looks roughly young… I think that’s right, right?”
“Is the ‘him’ the Viscount is looking for just a kid like that? Looking at the clothes you’re wearing, it doesn’t seem like you have a lot of money.”
Ray was able to hear even if he didn’t want to hear it with his hearing that was sensitive due to mana.
Among them, there were words that aroused curiosity.
‘Is the viscount looking for me? To say thank you, but?’
He was the first person in this world to heal.
Since he raised the dead, it is natural for a human being to feel grateful even after an unsavory breakup.
The extent to which the case was made was not surprising.
Furthermore, Ray does not receive pocket money from his parents.
I didn’t ask for pocket money because I didn’t want to buy anything in the first place.
But the money given was different.
You have to have money, but you can do something in this world as well.
Money was needed anytime, anywhere.
‘I’m going to make a case for gratitude, but what should I do? If he refuses, his heart will be heavy, so I should accept it.’
I had made up my mind never to go near the viscount’s house again.
But it could be an example, so what? I was willing to accept an apology for the past.
Even thinking about it myself, I thought that I was really considerate of others.
He walked towards the crowd, still struggling and unable to approach.
He carefully cleared his throat a couple of times and spoke cautiously to those who were staring at him.
“Hey… am I right that the viscount is looking for you?”
Ray thought that he naturally approached them, but they felt embarrassed when the person they thought was the subject of the request approached them on their own.
He looked at Ray quickly, bewildered.
Judging by the clothes he was wearing, he was wearing leather clothes that seemed to have been mended at home, and his shoes looked worn here and there, which was the appearance of an ordinary villager.
He thought with his eyes shining.
‘Certainly doesn’t look like a lot of money. So what makes you a viscount?’
He had quite a bit of experience in the industry, so he was careful with his tone when talking to Ray because he still didn’t know about the title of ‘him’ given by the viscount.
“…we don’t know the details… but probably so.”
Ray muttered, “As expected,” then nodded.
“Then take me to the viscount house. Let’s go and see the patient’s condition.”
“patient? Is there a patient in the viscount’s house?”
“No more.”
At the incomprehensible words, the man tilted his head.
Ray, who didn’t even care about him, was swollen with the thought of buying several medical books, thinking about the soon-to-be salary.
In fact, if I wanted to go, I could have visited alone, but after that, I was a little embarrassed to visit alone.
It would be better to go with someone suitable.
Unaware of Ray’s thoughts, he nodded his head in embarrassment.
‘It can’t be helped that the client was revealed unintentionally, but it seems like he’s acquainted with the Viscount, so it’s okay.’
For the information merchant, what kind of information the client bought and what kind of request he made was confidential.
But since some idiots talk in front of you and it’s exposed, it’s not the best idea to hide it.
“hmm. Got it. I will guide you.”
The best course of action here was to take the subject to the client.
* * *
The viscount was distracted by the guild’s information that he had found a request target.
In front, it seemed as if a banquet was being held, with the servants hurriedly waiting in the garden and the garden door being left wide open.
Viscount Gade spoke to the butler as he watched them busily prepare to receive guests.
“Poton, do you really think that this kind of thing will ease the saint’s heart?”
There was a little doubt in his words.
A nobleman’s daughter dared to curse the saint to die.
Even if the saint and the holy kingdom forgive, the god might be angry.
How dare you dare to speak ill of God’s agent. Even despising God was enough.
So, it was to welcome the saint on this scale.
Of course, I don’t know if the viscount is a saint or not.
* * *
“Whoa… what is all this?”
Ray was surprised to see so many people lined up on either side of him.
As soon as he arrived at the viscount’s garden, it was safe to say that the sight of him greeting him was superb.
Viscount Gade ran up in a huff and got down on one knee.
“Welcome, saint.”
Naturally, it was Ray’s role to be taken aback when he saw him greeted with the utmost respect as a nobleman.
Ray hurriedly grabbed Viscount Gade by the shoulders and pulled him up.
“No, why are you like this? No matter how much I was treated, I am a commoner…”
The Viscount shook his head.
“It doesn’t matter. There is no shame in paying homage to a saint.”
“What do you mean by saint?”
Viscount Gade gulped down his saliva as he opened his eyes wide in disbelief and saw Ray approaching him.
‘I have to speak well from now on.’
“sorry. Please let go of your anger. Although we did not know it then, we now know that you are the saint. I will gladly accept the sins I have committed, so please give me any command.”
It was the viscount who lowered his head and trembled while talking, but Ray was upset.
In frustration, he pounded his chest with his small fist and said.
“I am not a saint. So you don’t have to do this to me.”
He spoke with a serious expression and sincerity, but Viscount Gade didn’t seem to hear and kept his head down.
“How can you say that the person who raised me from the dead is not a saint?”
“So that’s just…!”
Ray, who was about to retort, had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
Resurrected by the power of medicine? That doesn’t make sense.
It is not that there is no such thing as “medicine” in this world.
However, as in modern times, medicine is a study for the living, and there was no way to bring the dead back to life.
Ray knew that too, so he couldn’t think of anything else.
In the eyes of the people of this world, he was a saint who brought the dead back to life.
Ray, who returned to the village to regain his sense of modernity, became a saint at some point.
Without knowing that God had designated him as a saint through an oracle.
