Inside a modest-sized ho in Balkrow City, a srizing pillar of golden light rose into the sky, making it seem as though angels had ascended back to the heavens after gracing everyone with their warm, holy presence.
However, the reality was quite different: what actually happened was the removal of a long-standing ghostly curse that was on the verge of claiming the lives of two innocent people.
Minutes passed as the golden ray gradually faded, revealing Seira’s mother and little brother, their expressions as serene as a calm autumn lake.
Although their bodies remained as thin as before, the decaying sll had disappeared.
It was only a matter of ti before the two would recover.
"Everyone cast [Greater Heal] again!" Shye commanded, hoping to nd the internal damage caused by the darned curse that had been previously unhealable.
As the golden rays of light descended upon Seira’s mom and little brother, Shye used appraisal once more, confirming that their health was back to full.
This naturally brought a satisfied smile to his face.
Turning around, he faced the grape-haired midget: "They’re now fully recovered. Take care of them for a few days and provide them with nutritious als. They should regain their physical strength and appearance by then."
Upon hearing her reliable boss’ words of confirmation, tears stread down Seira’s cheeks.
"Thank you… boss… uuuu… I thought I’d never be able to save them… uuuu… I’m so grateful you ca into my life, boss…"
Shye, Shirley, Luna, and the priests and priestesses who ca to help couldn’t help but smile gently.
Watching loved ones suffer under a curse, unable to do anything despite giving your all, was an agonizing challenge that demanded iron will and unwavering determination.
Thus, even though they initially joined for personal gain, none of them rembered that as their hearts swelled with indescribable joy.
They had helped create a heartwarming mont—one where three people, once destined to be separated forever, were granted more ti to cherish each other’s company.
The scene reminded them of the oaths they had once sworn to the gods and goddesses they served—vows that had long been forgotten.
Unbeknownst to Shye, at that mont, the ten saints—whose stories of everlasting kindness would one day spread throughout all of Adthiopia—were born.
"Well then, Seira, I still have a lot to take care of at the main branch. You’ll be okay here, right?" Shye said, rubbing the midget’s back.
"Uuu…yes, boss! I’ll return to the main branch and serve you as soon as I can!" Seira replied enthusiastically, extrely happy and relieved.
Nodding at the midget, Shye retrieved a few scrolls from the inventory, handing them over a piece each to the ten future saints, Shirley, Seira, and Luna.
"S-S-Special teleporter return scrolls!" the ten subordinates exclaid in unison, completely stunned by what their division leader had just given them.
Earlier, they had been wondering how they would return to Valenzia, assuming that the long journey back—a month using normal travel and teleporter routes—was their leader’s real request.
If they received the rewards Shye had promised, the month-long trip would have been worth it.
They never imagined they’d be given special teleporter return scrolls for free.
All of them knew that each scroll was worth fifty gold coins, which was not a cheap price for a one-ti-use item.
Moreover, even if one wanted to acquire them, it would be impossible to do so without obtaining a Valenzia Special Teleporter Pass.
Hence, the item that was in their hands was truly worth way more than what they cost.
It could even be considered a pseudo-life-saving item.
"Everyone, I appreciate your help. You can claim your rewards at the division’s rewards desk in a day. Feel free to explore Balkrow or return to headquarters as you prefer. As for and these two... uh... maidens, we’ll head back to the guild headquarters for now."
After giving his subordinates the freedom to use the scrolls as they wished, Shye activated the return scroll along with Shirley and Luna.
A thin azure light then descended from the heavens, enveloping the three of them and causing them to disappear from Seira’s house. Your next journey awaits at .Côm
Monts later, they reappeared in Valenzia City’s square, drawing attention as a brilliant azure light descended from the heavens, revealing three young figures: the renowned Shye Crowley and two stunning beauties who could bring an ancient kingdom back to re dust and rubbles.
"Shirley, you’ll join my division, right?" Shye asked as they passed through the crowded streets of Valenzia City.
"Hmph, aren’t you forgetting sothing?" The beauty replied, feigning coldness.
Luna was a sensible woman, so she quickly put so distance between herself and the couple, a hint of bitterness creeping into her heart without her noticing.
As the lovers bickered on their return journey to the main headquarters, they inadvertently left the other beauty isolated.
Despite this, she enjoyed exploring the city, taking in the high-rise buildings, elegant restaurants and shops, and the lively, wide streets.
Before they knew it, they were back to the main headquarters.
Shye then greeted everyone who greeted him back amiably while leading the two beauties towards the division lounge, suddenly rembering sothing important, one that he should’ve asked long ago.
"H-Hey, Luna, I forgot to ask, but…would you like to join my division?"
Upon hearing Shye’s words, Luna flinched slightly.
She had been anticipating this question, as it would have been disastrous to follow him to the division lounge only to find out she wasn’t actually invited.
Her heart was finally at ease.
"Y-Yeah, can I? Your division seems quite popular… a-am I qualified to join?" Luna asked nervously, her stern exterior softening to reveal glimpses of her sweet, gentle nature.
Naturally, Shye wouldn’t let go of this chance to break the ice between the two of them.
Luna had always been a pleasant acquaintance.
He wouldn’t mind if they beca friends, as he found her quite trustworthy.
Additionally, she was very talented, so he was eyeing to recruit her to the old man’s organization.
He had a feeling that Luna’s strong sense of justice and responsibility would drive her to fight for what is right.
"Of course!" Shye replied enthusiastically, playfully patting his chest to lighten the mood and break the ice. "If the strongest mber of the Balkrow branch wasn’t qualified, then no one would be!"
"I-I wasn’t the strongest…How could I be the strongest with you around?"
Shirley knew when to joke and when to be serious.
So, she simply let the two converse with a subtle, understanding smile, aware that Shye wasn’t making a pass at Luna.
"Well then, shall we register you two?"
