*************************************

Before Emir demonstrated his gift as a disaster summoner, and Alessia's group carried out the mission to exterminate monsters...

"Miss Emilia, what about that horse?"

"I'll stay here for a few days, and I can't leave it alone. Is it allowed to stay here?"

Delia applied adorableness.

"Of course, I'll make a space for it in the stable and bring it here whenever you need it."

"Mn, thank you."

Victor won't show it on his face, but adorableness was super effective.

While Victor called someone to take the horse and do the respective paperwork, Delia went back to her tent and prayed.

When she was a Priestess, her labors were arduous and extensive. Even when she finished them, she had to repeat them again and again until nightfall. Literally, her tasks were never ending.

But as a Saint, now everything is different. She can have a life.

'- God, let me be able to help people one more day.'

After she finished her prayers, her gaze ceased to be adoring. She is aware that she will witness many situations, each of which will be accompanied by blood. She only must do her best not to let anyone down.

"Victor, I am ready"

With a determined look, she walked out of her tent.

"First of all... Did you have breakfast?" Victor asked cautiously.

'- Religious people have no regard for themselves. I must make sure, just in case!'

Victor is afraid that the Golden Archer will give him a low rating as a bodyguard, and Commander Cael will have to replace him. He must do all he can to keep his job and feed his family!

Delia: "..."

'- I'm not a child!!!'

Since Emir ordered Victor to be careful, Victor gives her MP potions to drink. And he makes sure she takes them. Therefore, even lovely Delia, for the first-time, senses that someone is annoying!

But she also knows he's doing it for her own good. So even though he is annoying, she can't hate him.

"Rumors are spreading fast... And, since the word has spreaded that a Priestess offers unparalleled healing, everyone wants to be treated by you, Miss Emilia." Victor said to change the subject.

"That's fine. As long as I can help them, I'll be happy" She smiled broadly.

"Yes, Priestess! Thank you very much!"

"Mn, you're welcome"

While she has a cloak over her body and the Perception Inhibitor at full capacity, for a moment Mia had an uncontrollable urge to hug her, but the next second she forgot why she wanted to do it.

The Perception Inhibitor is fierce. Anything to do with her appearance will be forgotten. And thanks to the cloak she wears, it is even more difficult to remember any part of her body. Even when her fox ears and tails are very striking, no one could remember them.

Of course, it would be very different if she didn't have that cloak on, since the magic item mostly acts on the face. It's a side effect that the rest of the body is partially forgotten.

"Who was mean enough to cut off your ear? Do you bring it with you? I can glue it on!" Delia clenched her fist to inspire confidence.

Although priests can't regenerate limbs, they can attach small body parts like an ear. However, parts like a leg or an arm are very complex. If a priest re-attach a leg to a person, it is estimated that at best the person will be able to walk again, but he or she will lose many functions in return. Something similar happens in the case of the arm.

Only the Saints are able to join them together without any side effects.

Every time Delia finished healing one patient, the next one was admitted. Very rarely did she have to cast [Great Healing] magic. And this was what surprised Victor more, since normally wounds like Mia's must be healed with such magic.

Now then, Great Healing is equivalent to an MP potion... Or so he thought.

'- But she can cast two Great Healings at the cost of one MP potion!' If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Victor couldn't believe it. Now he understands why Emilia is the protégé of a saint. 'She has a great future ahead of her!'

He thought that without knowing that Delia is able to cast 3 times the magic without needing a potion. She could activate it even 4 times if she is willing to endure the side effects of the sudden loss of mana.

'-Umm... although I feel bad for wasting so many MP potions, I must take one now. Otherwise, they'll start to get suspicious,' Delia thought.

Being a Saint has many benefits. And among them is lying. A Saint can lie if it is for a greater good, even if it is for a lesser good. But this is something unforgivable for priestesses. It is estimated that if a Priestess lies 10 times, her class will drop to Believer.

This is one of the major causes why the lower strata of the Solus Temple are not corrupt. The high strata have the privilege that their class is not identified. So, many of them have lost their class without anyone noticing it.

"An elf? That's very strange. What happened to you?" Victor asked.

"I was unlucky... A lot of teriar monsters... I couldn't..." The elf groaned in pain.

For a second, Victor felt a cold air run down his back.

"I see. Press your hand on this magic object."

"Yes."

[Erniirí] [Magical Archer Lvl 2]

Victor's eyes widened at the sight of his status, but quickly returned to normal.

"Raise your arms."

"Yes."

As soon as the elf raised his arms, Victor at great speed unsheathed his sword and attacked him.

Erniirí: ''..."

'- I see. But I'll just have to carry out the B plan, that's all.' Without even worrying about the sword heading toward his heart, he looked at Delia.

From his left sleeve came out a simple stick with a string on both ends, while from the right sleeve came a thin steel arrow.

At the same moment the sword damaged the surface of his skin, Erniirí shot a magic arrow towards Delia.
