When I returned to the Healers Guild, I was plopped down at my desk without letting anyone into the master room.
I want to fly away........
　Seriously thinking that, I was reflecting on the conversation I had just had with the Pope.


　''To achieve so much so quickly in Yenis, you really are as capable as your father.
　He speaks to me happily, but it's nothing more than an annoyance to be identified with that perfect superhuman, Lord Leinster.

'I've had good interpersonal luck since I arrived over here, and it was completely lucky that I was able to defeat the dragon.
　I not only remind myself, but my true feelings spill out of my mouth.

　''Luciel, when it comes to your holy attribute magic, there may not be anyone who is on par with you. But when it comes to guild management, there are many that are better than you.
　I responded with a nod, feeling uncomfortable with the way the story was cut, but also knowing too much about guild management to know, so I nodded.

''I certainly think the subordinates I've brought in are capable,''
　I only know this world in bits and pieces.
Maybe I could have had a chance to get to know it better, but I don't know if I've sacrificed other things to save my life above all else.

　You were supposed to stay in Yenis for a few years, weren't you?
　? ! ...I don't know why. I have a very bad feeling about this.

'That's true, but I'm a healer, you know?

　If this strengthens the pipeline with Yenis, won't your backing be stronger too?
　That being said, I think about it.......but I still don't want to stand out any more.

''I don't want to stand out any more than this, S-class healer, dragon slayer, right? It's not normal. If you even have the title of representing Yenis attached to it...

　You have not changed. You were so conspicuous in the past that you were sent to the church headquarters. You drank the liquefied object X of God's sorrow without a care in the world, cured any injury with a single silver coin, became the only S-class healer in the Healer's Guild, and created guidelines and legislation. When the representatives of the Dragon Slayer and Yenis entered there, would anything change?

　What I wanted was my personal safety.
　Through the luck of meeting the great luck teacher, I was able to meet and train with the masters.
　Can't I just live somewhere quietly?

Is it possible for me to take an extended break?

　Of course. As you act, the prestige of the Church will be restored. But we won't ask you to do everything. Therefore, you may rest when you feel secure enough to do so.
　I was relieved to hear those words.

'Then can I go in for a rest now?
　I squealed with joy. But reality is still impermanent.

　Good. You can choose the path you want to take.
　His voice was exactly the same tone as before, but there was a sharpness to it that gouged my heart. Is this what it means to be a middle manager, senior?

I understand. But I can only do what I can do. And even though it's an S class, my day job is as a healer. And when this matter is over, I'm going on a trip.
　That was the plan all along, wasn't it?
　He heard a voice that was dumbfounded and laughed, and was told to contact me again and cut off the demon ball's communication.


''I can take the skill, right? Master Brod.

　I said and started looking at the skills I could get with SP.

　When I talked to Master Brod about it, he was pissed.

'Stupid thing! The skills you can get with SP are your own qualities. If you don't decide, who will? If you are in doubt, Luciel, don't force yourself to take it. The skills you really need will change as you go along. So there is no need to hurry. I see.

　So although I would check it after the level was raised, I never got it due to indecision until now.

''........Huh?''
　As soon as I started to manipulate the SP, I noticed something different from the usual.

''.........could it be that you've gained an aptitude for the fire attribute?''
　I was excited by the unexpected shelving, but after thinking about it for a bit, it dropped rapidly.
''There's no such thing as a mage guild in this city, is there?

　My joy is over in an instant, I think as I look from skill to appraisal and supremacy.
A follower is a demon, if you're raising a demon from a baby, you might get attached to it, but you don't need it in this life first...?
　Thus, after worrying about it, I closed the status screen without getting the skill again.

　When I left the room, I made it smell good.
'Nahlia's a good cook even though she's not a cook~'
　I walked downstairs with that in mind.


"I'm sorry to congratulate you on your return earlier, everyone.
　I started with an apology. I was pretty tempestuous, so I got out a bunch of ingredients for lunch, etc., and locked myself in the master's room when I asked Nahlia to help me.

'I've heard the gist of it. It's a lot of work.
'Yes. The Pope has told me that he's going to be the representative and that we're going to talk about it. Jordo-san and the others will be filling in on the special zone.
''........Does that mean that we are already taking over the Healer's Guild from Luciel-dono?''
''I'd like that to be the case, but they're going to discuss it with the Pope and make sure that the Medicine Guild and the Representative Council are aligned. So until things settle down, you will still be my subordinate.
That's good to hear.
　Mr. Jord was relieved.
...What's going on?
''........Honestly, the beast adventurers and the Guildmaster of the Dragon Race Adventurer Guild and the Vice Guildmaster of the Dragon Race Adventurer Guild are pretty scary when you see them up close, aren't they? I've been having a hard time closing the conversation, so please take care of me.
　That's what he asked me to do.
''Yes. We'll continue with this structure for ten days, but once the talks are officially settled, please continue to help me in the future.
Yeah. My pleasure.

'Master, Master Jord, your meal is ready.
　Nahlia called me to the table.


　There are currently some men and slaves from the church here. The head of this organization isn't even happy with it, and it's insane to be a representative of Yenis or anything else.
　I began to speak.

''First of all, I want to thank everyone for protecting the Healer's Guild. Even though it was because of the adventurers of the Adventurers Guild and the help of the dragon race, it must have been stressful to see so many beastmen in an unfamiliar land. Thank you.
　When I tell them that, they all bail and respond.
The next time you're in the labyrinth, slaves, because of your hard work and dedication, you were able to successfully traverse the labyrinth. It is without a doubt due to all of you. I will be interviewing each of you later, so please come to the master's room after you have finished eating.
"Yes.

''Then eat a lot of food to celebrate your safe return and the successful defense of the Healer's Guild.

　As I savored the food that Nahlia had made more luxurious than usual, I thought about what was to come.



　I hear a knock at the door.
'Come in,'
　It was Lionel who came in.

'Lionel. You can be released from your slave contract for this achievement. And then you can help me with that?
　Normally, there is a condition for terminating a slave contract, and since he had five gold coins and he had worked many times as hard as he did, he decided to agree to it if he wanted to.
　As for the conditions for terminating the slave contract, he had been taught by Lerga, a slave-trader who didn't want to be seen at first glance.
''I........decline.''
　As expected, it's hard for this many warriors to help me........
''I understand. Then I'll cast a dispel to terminate the slave contract. When I've finished, please make sure that I'm properly released from the slave contract.
　Lionel holds his hand out in front of him and then opens his mouth.
'I owe you a lifetime of gratitude for your treatment. I would like to accompany Luciel-sama on his journey in his slave status.
　Lionel laughed at that.

　Lionel wasn't the only one. Keti, Nahlia, Doran, Paula, and Kefin and the others also refused to be released from their slave contracts.

　All of the slaves except Kefin said they wanted me to accompany them as a slave while I was in this city.
　They came to me wanting to learn many things as slaves of this healer's guild.
　He said that he doesn't want to misuse the knowledge he has gained there, but rather he wants to work with everyone to revive the slums of Yenis.

　He said that he wanted to create such an environment where it could stand on its own as a revived slum, not a slum at the bottom, but a revived slum.
　Although they have been ordered not to lie, I knew immediately that they would not lie without such an order. The look on their faces as they spoke of their dreams was convincing enough on its own.


"A dream, huh? I've never thought about dreams since I came to this world, because my goal and purpose was to survive.
　Thus, I spent the night thinking about my dreams.
