“How was Ione? How was my daughter?”
As soon as I ca out of the separate palace, I was almost kidnapped and ended up standing before the Emperor.
The Emperor and Empress were both looking at with intense expressions.
What should I do about this?
I couldn’t simply say, “Your daughter’s body had a lot of self-harm marks. She was emaciated like a zombie,” in front of them.
I can’t say that, can I?
“It seems it will take quite a long ti to extract the fragnt of the evil god and completely heal her mind. I think I’ll need to visit the Princess often from now on. For now, I’ve done so basic healing.”
“We heard you went in… without wearing protective clothing. Weren’t you hard by the curse?”
“Nothing like that happened. You don’t need to worry too much.”
The Emperor and Empress looked impressed by my nonchalant attitude.
“Goddess of Grace. Thank you for sending us a saint. Really… thank you.”
“I’m not a saint, Your Majesty. I’m just a human, Amael. You can just call by my na.”
I intended to strongly assert this whenever I had the chance, as Grandpa Yodel said.
I’m not a saint!!
I’m not!!
But of course, they don’t seem to believe it.
“I beg you. If you can make our daughter better, we’ll pay any price. So…”
“I’ll do everything I can.”
“Ah! Saint…!”
The Empress, unable to hold back, collapsed in front of , shedding tears.
I hurriedly tried to help her up, but the Emperor, who should have helped , was just watching the whole scene and shedding tears himself.
Ah.
I don’t know.
I’m going to get hit by the curse and return to Korea anyway, so let’s leave it for now.
Moreover, they’re parents who have suffered for such a long ti.
They probably agonized every day for 16 years, wondering if it wouldn’t have been a much better decision to just kill their daughter.
Can’t I comfort them a little?
“Don’t be sad. I’m here.”
The person who would receive the curse from your daughter in her place and have his soul destroyed was here.
“Saint…!! Saint!”
I carefully supported the wailing Empress and helped her up.
Right.
I’m going to get hit by the curse and return to Korea soon anyway.
Until then, I’ll act as a saint to my heart’s content.
After receiving all the tears of the imperial couple, I left the imperial palace.
***
I returned to the Magic Tower temple.
Soon, I’d be hit by the curse and return to Korea.
I probably wouldn’t be able to use adult ga skills anymore when I returned to Korea.
It was a bleak world without skills or magic.
So before I left, I took care of as many sick people as I could.
Skills that I wouldn’t be able to use anyway.
It was good to use them as much as possible before leaving, right?
Maybe because a clinic was established.
The number of critically ill patients I had to treat wasn’t that many.
After treating patients until evening.
Just as I was thinking about having a al because I was hungry.
“Saint!”
Erpha ca to see .
These days, she had been dropping by the temple to et whenever she had ti.
She seed completely smitten with since the kiss incident last ti.
“I-I cooked myself today. Would you like to try it?”
She handed a lunchbox.
Oh.
A lunchbox made by a woman!
Not bad.
We ate together in my room prepared in the temple.
The al was very delicious as if she had put in a lot of effort.
“How is it? Is it delicious?” while eating, she asked that question more than dozens of tis, as if she was anxious.
Each ti, I smiled and nodded.
Honestly, what does the taste matter?
It’s more important that such a pretty woman made food for .
After the al.
We chatted about trivial things.
How we spent our day.
What happened?
I thought I wasn’t good at talking with won, but when the woman took the initiative, the conversation flowed very well.
Co to think of it, it’s shitty.
To think that I had to leave a place where a woman treated so warmly and return to Korea where won didn’t even want to talk to .
Thinking about living as a squid again there made my heart feel so heavy.
But what could I do?
It was better than going to hell.
“It’s gotten quite late. You must be tired from taking care of patients all day… Please rest, Saint,” Erpha said, waving her two right hands like a child.
“Yes. You should hurry and rest too, Miss Erpha. Have a good night.”
Even at my answer, she didn’t leave.
Her four hands were fidgeting as if she wanted sothing.
Her face was red.
“Um… maybe… that…”
“Yes.”
“Before you leave… could you kiss ?”
Even for a virgin like , if I didn’t understand after all this, there was sothing wrong with my head.
This woman loved .
And not just love, she was probably passionately in love.
If I hadn’t heard the prophecy that the Goddess would personally deal with …
I probably would have accepted her love.
If such a beauty said she likes , one would have to be impotent to reject that.
I didn’t dislike rubbing against such a pretty woman either.
Rather, I totally liked it.
But what would happen if I accepted her love?
Soon, I’d be hit by the curse and go to Korea.
Since my soul itself would cross over to another dinsion, she’d probably be left alone.
Thinking about that, I absolutely shouldn’t accept her love.
But I can’t stay here either, can I?
If I chose to give up going to Korea and stay here, it might be good right now, but what would happen later?
When the whole world realized I was a fraud and tried to kill .
How would Erpha react then?
She would probably fight the world for .
She would throw away her position and honor and fight for , and eventually die.
Miserably and horribly.
That was how she would die.
Of course, she might not die.
She was a very powerful witch.
Instead, the world would be destroyed.
Only the form and motive would be different, but she would end up destroying the world like the prophecy of destruction I saw.
In a burned world.
Just the two of us left alone.
Would that really be a happy ending?
My fist clenched.
I had to reject her.
Not for my sake, but for hers.
I had to hurt her feelings.
It was the sa situation as the imperial couple who had to abuse their daughter to save her.
The mont that thought occurred to .
I had to stop pushing her away.
I witnessed how miserable Princess Ione was.
Although it was ultimately to save the child, if the process was so terribly painful.
What was the point of a good result?
I didn’t want to make such a choice.
I approached Erpha.
I put my arms around her waist and kissed her lips.
I could hear Erpha’s heart pounding from here.
I separated from her.
And I patted the head of her who was smiling as if she had lted.
“Can you promise just one thing?”
“Yes. Yes. Saint. Anything…” Erpha answered in a voice that sounded like she was flying in a dream.
I smiled at her and said, “Love yourself more than .”
“What?”
“I want you to live healthily and beautifully for a long ti. I shouldn’t be a priority over yourself. Do you understand? No matter what happens to , you should live your own life.”
This was my best.
Erpha was looking at as if she couldn’t understand.
I smiled at her.
You’ll understand with ti.
“Okay. Whatever you say, Saint…” Erpha said carefully.
“It’s late. Please go back safely.”
At my words, Erpha gave an ecstatic smile and then rushed to again, showering with kisses.
I felt a little sad at her playful yet sticky affectionate kisses.
Damn.
I’ll never experience sothing like this when I go back to Korea.
There’s even a woman who likes this much, why do I have to leave?
Damn Goddess.
It’s not like I wanted to impersonate a saint!
I even made the Lilia Order super wealthy!
I treated patients for free, improved living conditions, created jobs—I really did everything!!
Why do I have to fall into hell!!
I want to have an isekai harem too!
I even have skills perfectly suited for a harem, damn it.
Why…
Forget it.
Let’s just think about avoiding going to hell.
“I’ll co again when I have ti! Let’s go on a date next ti! Saint!”
I nodded at her excited voice.
Love yourself more than .
This is sincere.
That’s how you’ll be able to endure even after I’m gone.
Erpha disappeared from the room.
In the empty room.
I was sighing deeply.
I’d be returning to Korea soon, but I wasn’t entirely happy about it.
***
Erpha, who returned to her lab, wrapped her flushed face with her four hands and slowly slid down to the floor.
She kissed.
Moreover, she actively kissed a man of her own will.
It was the first ti in her life.
She never knew she would fall so deeply for a man.
She really never dread of it.
But she was so happy.
She didn’t know loving could be such a joyful thing.
She was so happy that the Saint had accepted her love.
With no one to tell, she sat on the floor rejoicing and flailing for a while, then carefully took out a scroll from her bosom.
It was a scroll engraved with a contraceptive spell.
She looked down at it with a pounding heart.
“You’re crazy, Erpha. You’re crazy!”
Of course, she had no experience with n.
No.
It wasn’t just that she had no experience, she was a woman who hadn’t even properly held hands because of her hideous left face.
Because of that, she didn’t have the courage to actively suggest having sex like an experienced woman.
Her courage was exhausted with the active kiss she gave today.
But…
Soon. Soday. Definitely.
She carefully folded the precious contraceptive scroll and put it in her bosom.
In one corner of her lab, there was a small statue of the Goddess of Grace and a scripture.
She approached it, placed her hand on the scripture, and carefully prayed to the Goddess.
“Goddess. It’s again. I’m praying today too. Thank you for sending down the Saint. Thank you for making happy every day like this. Every day feels like a miracle thanks to your grace.”
She had already received so much.
It was no exaggeration to say that her life had turned around, her career had improved, and everything she wanted to do had been accomplished.
But humans were greedy.
So she was thinking of asking for one more thing.
“I have just one more request. You must, must listen to it.”
She earnestly.
Prays with her four hands clasped together.
“Please make the Saint love as much as I love him. Soday, I hope he sees as a woman and embraces . I hope he loves for the rest of my life. And above all…”
Erpha grinned.
“I hope he doesn’t leave my side and stays with for a long, long ti. Please, Goddess. Please answer my prayer.”
After making the sign of the cross and getting up, for so reason, the statue of the Goddess of Grace seed to be smiling more brightly at her that day.
Erpha smiled back.
For so reason, she felt like the Goddess would answer her prayer.
