The dining room of the Adventurer's Guild in the city of Meratni was unusually closed.
　Luciel, Brod, Garba and Grugar were gathered there drinking.

''It's early. We'll be back in a flash, and then we'll be rebuilding the healing guild in Yenis afterwards?''
'Yes. Well, I'll do my best with the recipe Mr. Gruger gave me here.
'If it comes down to it, they'll come running. If you're not involved in anything bad, you'll help them. Well, I don't think they'd do that.
'Of course. I don't want to die, but I won't do anything that I can't face my masters.
Keke, you just threw me out of training again.
Master Brod, I hope you're comfortable with that.
'Well, I know how Brod feels. You don't grow very fast, but the more you hit them, the more they grow a little bit. And I think if you train for ten years, you'll be pretty close to us.
''... Even if you try your best, you can't do it in ten years. He's right in front of you, but there's no sign of him, or he's turning around in the back in an instant, or he's slicing through a slashed sword with a sword that has a crushed blade, clearly beyond the realm of man.
'I think Luciel's recovery magic is well beyond the realm of humanity, too.
The other day I finally got my holy attribute magic level to X, but it's still not there yet. It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to find a way to make your life easier. You can use magic to heal external wounds, but it can't heal mental wounds and illnesses.
'Mr. Luciel, I hear that Botacouli eventually turned the healing center into an orphanage, and that his arrogance is starting to disappear like a lie.
'Yes. But it's not in my power. In the end, it was because the Archbishop continued to persuade Botacouli with sincerity, melting his heart. This time I was reminded that I had misunderstood the idea of power.
'Of course. Your words, which haven't lived for twenty years, are nothing but the pretty words of a little boy to our generation, which has lived more than twice as long. If you really want to persuade them, you need to consult with us first and then put it into your own mind, otherwise you won't feel persuaded or feel anything. That would be just a top-shelf thing.

'Well, yeah. It's easy for young people to fall into this trap, but it's not always as simple as making a mistake and moving forward with everything pretty. Luciel, you're going to grow up a little bit from this experience.

'Words carry different weight depending on how a person has lived their life. Therefore, there is no need to stretch your shoulders, but don't do anything that makes you feel ashamed of heaven. And live your life to the fullest and grow up with your feet. It would be good to stop. And when you do, you can count on us. We can't all be perfect. People think differently. When in doubt, don't go on alone. Even if you are the one who makes the final decision, we can still consult with you. If I feel that my spirit is rotten, I will train it. So don't be lonely.
　Oh, this guy, these people are huge.

'That's what I'm talking about. Now eat this new Object X Doria and hang in there.
Why does it smell so bad and why is everyone so far away?
Luciel, get a move on and cast a purification spell.
Foolish disciple. Eat quickly, or I'll cut you down in training.
It won't be great, but good luck with that. I'll give you the recipe for the legendary secret sauce instead.

　I ate the Object X Doria, feeling that the three of them would never be able to compete with me forever.
　It tasted like the most yabakatta ever...


　Botacouli ended up asking the church to sell the property value and buy back those who sold it as slaves so that we could buy back as much as possible. And although the healing center was placed in the care of the church, the property remained in Botacouli's care, and he was placed as the director of the orphanage.
　Because of his skill as a healer, he received a sum of money from his patients in accordance with the guidelines and created a fund in the Healers' Guild to cover his living expenses, the running costs of the orphanage, and donations to the Healers' Guild as well as the slaves.
　I've heard that he's also expanded his other activities and held courses for newcomers.

　I hadn't thought of that, and it made me realize that I'd felt like I understood people's minds. It was one of those cases.
I went to the orphanage to meet with Botakouri, who once built an orphanage, and when he found me, he smiled at me and bailed.
I don't know why I was in tears. Someone who had hurt me through my inadequate or shallow actions was smiling at me and bailing me out. And yet.....

He went down a gray, almost black, path.
But I'm still thinking that I should have thought about this more deeply.
Maybe there are a lot of good answers.
I've made up my mind. Besides dying with my life expectancy, I've decided to live in this world so that I can help as many people as possible who have suffered in the same way with my ability.


And as the months passed, the guidelines and bills against healing were adopted at the headquarters of St. Schuler's Church, and they were distributed to the guilds of healers in each of the branches of each country and passed on to each healing center.

　As such, I was now in the Pope's private office.
'You have done so much for the Church and the Healer's Guild to this day.
　That mysterious voice echoed in the Pope's private room.
''Ha. I can't thank you enough for your kind words.'
　I was up on one knee and hanging my head as usual.

''You spent three years at the church headquarters, starting with stepping through the labyrinth that you had given up on, and then you did a really big job of creating the guidelines and skeleton of the bill this time around, and auditing the St. Schuler Cooperative Domestic Healing Institute.
　Yeah, I didn't mean to. I didn't mean for it to go that far. It's because Mr. Jord and the others went out of control. I can't tell you how many times I've been struck by lightning.
'Thank you, sir. 'I still think the labyrinth was just my luck. And as for the others, I am not alone. Many people from the church and the Healer's Guild feel the same way, and it just so happens that I was the one who initiated it.
Hmm. Even so. It was your father's daughter that brought her to take over this church.
　When I said that, the Pope got off his chair, which was hidden from us and invisible, and came towards us.
The Pope is a blonde-haired, wizened man like this? He had a noble face as if the gods had created a doll so elaborate that I wanted to doubt that.
The smile, clad in a holy aura, fascinated all who saw it...it was not to be loved, it was just beautiful.

It is here, in the heart of the continent, that Father has dared to create the Holy City of Surur, the Holy City of the St. Surur Cooperative Kingdom, where people can seek salvation. May the people seek salvation, and may they have a country that will fight with them if their mistress is caught in the crossfire.
　Is that what you've just been told, Lord Leinster? ...How old is the Pope?
'How old is that face of yours, mistress? That's about it. I'm already three hundred and twenty-two years old.
"...my common sense tells me he's usually dead?
Aye. It has something to do with the fact that my mother was a high elf.
I'm sorry, Mr. Leinster, you don't have a wife all by yourself?
'No, indeed, my wife was Lady Lysalia. She was kind and competitive and played well with her mistress. She was very close with her mother, but she only once begged her father to hold her, and so she was born. And so she was born.
I think the books say that it's difficult for people of different races to have children, but it really was a miracle.
Well, my father and mother were a funny man in so many ways.
　The Pope turned his gaze outward, as if he was somewhat nostalgic.

'Was that why the Pope was hiding his face?
'Hmm. There was a time in the past when half-elves weren't thought of well. Mistresses' ears weren't that sharp or round, so they weren't seen as half-elves, but it was part of a strategy to make them think they didn't age, which was considered sacred by the gods as a blessing.
　I want to tweak a lot of things. But now I have something else to ask.
"...and why did you tell me that?
'Mistresses cannot hide their faces forever when they are working so hard to re-establish the will and authority of this church and the Healer's Guild that Father created, which no mistress could do.
I'm extremely pleased.
'Hmm. You may not have known what would happen to you if your Lord left the church... but I'm rooting for you, mistress.
"...? Yes, I will travel around. I'm going to travel around the region and do what I can to help.
"You are hereby commanded to report to me with the letter or the magic ball I gave you the other day, and to take it to heart and travel to Yenis.
"Ha! I swear to you that I will make every effort to crush you and I will depart for Yenis.
From the bottom of my heart, I wish you well.
Yes, sir.

　Early the next day, early in the morning of this next day, me and my men left for Yenis. Then in various places, guidelines and new bills against healing from the St. Surul Church headquarters to the Healer's Guild headquarters ran through the world.
　This made the name of the S-class healer, Luciel, known to the world. A full five years had passed since Luciel came to this world.
