Abandoned Retired Warrior Decides to Return to Farming

Early in the morning, the church was filled with painful moans.

Me and Serine stared blankly at the scene with their faces covered with robes.

“That’s right, my lord. This, this is all…”

Serin was speechless as if she was speechless.

She couldn’t see her because of her robe, but she could have predicted what her expression would look like.

The knights, of course, the warrior’s companions. Even he seemed embarrassed by the miserable appearance of two warriors like himself.

Each and every one of them were talented enough to be treated wherever they went, but now they were lying on an extra bed and only making helpless tunes.

“Well, considering his identity, this is natural…”

It’s because I usually only see the same hair.

Also, the devil is the devil.

I heard about it from Lucia herself, but I was surprised to see it in reality.

“Big, uh, huh.”

At that time, a priest was coughing and waiting for us to come.

The priest who confirmed that we were coming took the lead and started guiding us.

Since Shizu had already talked about it, there was no need to explain the situation.

When they arrived, there was a room blocked by a thick iron gate.

The priest started pushing the door with the words, “Don’t worry, because outside magic is blocked in this room.”

When the two priests enchanted the door and opened the door, the head of the church was waiting for us inside.

“I was waiting. Hero Kael.”

The headmaster bows down and greets him politely.

Serene and I have the same etiquette.

After that, the headmaster and priests took care of Serin’s ankle condition, which he had requested in advance.

According to the headmaster, Aerith has already completed the primary treatment and there are no major problems as he has poured my elixir.

Under his leadership, more than ten priests devoted themselves to treating Serin’s ankle, and by the time it was over, lunchtime was over.

“By the way, if it was this much, the child would have been able to do it alone. Is your arm still not healed?”

When the treatment reached the final stage, the headmaster, who sighed, came to my side and asked.

But my silence calmed the mood with a gloomy expression on his face, as expected.

I looked at his complexion and asked carefully.

“That Aerith’s arm. He wasn’t there.”

“Yes, we went to that very dungeon, but the boy’s arm was nowhere to be seen.”

With those words, the teacher let out a deep sigh.

Apparently, he was worried about the condition of the saint.

It’s not enough that I lost my arm, and I haven’t seen him in over a month, so that’s good enough.

The saint is the goddess’s agent, and in this church, she is more than an imperial family.

Perhaps even at that time, he was the first to run to retrieve Aerith’s arm.

In order to heal the arm, I needed to get it before it rotted.

But is there anyone who took his arm faster than them?

There can be no Aurelia. Maybe a passing robber was lucky enough to find it and take it.

Just thinking about it makes me feel bad.

After this is all over, I’ll have to figure it out later.

“Anyway, thank you. Kael.”

At that time, the teacher suddenly called me and expressed my gratitude.

“yes?”

“The grace of protecting that child and bringing him here. I will never forget it for the rest of my life.”

“No, please do it to the village chief rather than me. He was the one who accepted me and Aerith.”

The teacher nodded silently at my words.

While we were chatting and waiting like that, Serin came out with a lighter step.

“It’s not perfect yet, so you’ll have to come back a few more times, but it won’t be a problem for a short-term battle.”

With those words, we left the church.

Serin’s limp figure was nowhere to be seen.

Her steps were as natural as those around her.

But in this touching moment, Serin, who was the real culprit, made a subtle expression.

He looked at his ankles and smiled happily, but he quickly showed a depressed image again.

Maybe he didn’t want to leave the room that much.

‘If that’s the case, it’s absolutely serious.’

I thought I had healed everything, but I thought there would be a bigger one left.

Can’t help it. I patted Serin’s head and spoke softly.

“If you don’t want to come out like that, you don’t have to come to the party.”

“yes?”

After meeting Mary, Serin’s condition has been a bit strange since last night.

Besides, at this point in time when Mary doesn’t know what she’s going to do, it might be safer to just stay in her room.

“After all, there’s not much you can do at the party. There is no need to overdo it.”

However, for some reason, Serin heard me and only blinked and tilted her head.

What is this reaction, maybe it’s because I’m so happy I can’t believe it.

But then she shook her head in bewilderment.

“ah! It’s not like that.”

“yes? Nope?”

Serin nodded loudly at my words.

Uh, of course, I thought it was because I wanted to be locked up in my room.

“Well, it’s not… Not so long ago, I was on Aurelia’s side. So I tried to drag Saint Aerith to her…”

After saying that, Serin lowered her head with a gloomy expression.

The day Serin first came to town, she was sure to take Aerith with her.

Surely he knew she was framed, but he was going to give it to Aurelia nonetheless.

“Was it possible for me to be treated like this?”

After all, yesterday was a superficial reason, and was this real?

I didn’t answer Serin’s words right away.

It’s because she understands what she’s doing.

Originally, she was in an antagonistic position with the cathedral and the saint.

That’s how he got help from the church. You won’t feel at ease

But in the end, it was a failure. Aerith forgave him, and the church knew everything and healed him.

If that’s the case, it’s best to do what you can for them right now.

I pulled one side of Serine’s cheek, which had become depressed.

“Tzu, Zhuin?”

Embarrassed Serin looked up at me with a leaking pronunciation.

“By the way, did you apologize?”

“I, that, that is still…”

Well, I guess.

It must have been difficult to speak out in that situation.

In addition, there was no circumstance to apologize because Mary had to leave immediately after doing business because of the supervision of Mary.

I released Serine’s cheek and stroked the pulled part.

Haha, it’s a hikikomori that works a lot anyway.

“Then you have to work hard to be forgiven.”

“······yes?”

“Then let’s go apologize with me.”

Then maybe not Will the headmaster and priests forgive you like me?

Well, if that doesn’t work, you can just fall down and pray like you did to me.

“ah······.”

After hearing my words, Serin looked at me with a blank face.

And then, with tears in his eyes, he answered with a smile.

“yes! Thank you, Master!”

At that time, Serin made a face that had eased the burden for a moment.

I gently comforted her by stroking her hair.

“Yeah, so. Let’s work hard in the future.”

“yes!”

“okay. 25 hours a day to the pool.”

“Yes! … But, Master. There are only 24 hours in a day, right?”

Uh, I know.

When I answered with a wicked grin, Serin screamed and inflated her cheeks.

“No way!”

But even so, Serin was smiling happily.

I spent some time sitting on the bench with such Serin.

While stroking her hair like that, the time to meet with Shizu suddenly drew near.

“Then, Serena. You have a place to stop, so you have to go back first.”

“yes!”

Serin nodded her head vigorously at my words.

“You have to go back right away. Gerald doesn’t seem to be in the capital right now, but I don’t know what Mary will do.”

“yes. Don’t worry, the master will come back soon.”

Saying that, Serin waved at me as I walked away.

I’m a little nervous, but since I said I’m going right away, it won’t be a big deal.

Besides, my ankles are almost all the same. Even Mary wouldn’t be able to make a fuss in the middle of a street like this.

With that in mind, I hurried to the meeting place.

*

An underground laboratory with no light on.

A shady place where even mice and dirty bugs do not even dare to come and go.

There, Mary was spying on Kael and Serin with a crystal ball.

“Serin, did you hurt your ankle?”

After leaving the inn and going to the church, Mary is puzzled as she sees Serin limping slightly.

However, after coming out of the church, I was immersed in thoughts when I saw her who was fine.

“Hmm. Kael, it looks like he really forgave him.”

“I don’t like it,” Mary muttered.

There’s no way the priests who don’t have a good relationship with Aurelia need to cure Serine.

It was clear that Cael’s breath had entered the situation.

“How could there be no way?”

Mary’s eyes filled with murderous intent turned to Serine in the crystal ball.

But at the same time, I remembered Aurelia’s instructions not to do anything until the day of the party.

“It’s okay if you ignore what he says, but then you won’t be able to receive a test subject.”

Merry, who struggles between reason and instinct, making a painful sound.

Meanwhile, Cael, who was stroking Serine, left her behind and started to go somewhere.

Mary looked at Serine who had been left alone with her chin clenched and muttered expressionlessly.

“Are you going to just kill me?”

Just don’t do it without Aurelia and Cael’s knowledge. I don’t think Cael really cares about him anyway.

Or should I just kidnap it and use it as a test subject?

Since they are long-lived creatures, they will be able to experiment more earnestly than weak humans.

Also, thinking about it, I had never used an elf as a test subject.

“It’s fine.”

After muttering like that, Mary was on the verge of putting her thoughts into action.

Mary tilts her head as Serin stays in one place for a long time on her way back to the inn.

She observed Serin’s condition with a crystal ball for a long time.

And soon after, he noticed that Serin’s gaze was fixed on a lover and suddenly giggled.

“Ah, that was it. Serene?”

A voice of ridicule and ridicule. The subject was directed at Serin, who was obsessed with the kissing couple.

“Uh-huh. A good idea came to mind.”

Much more fun than using it as a test subject.

Mary, who was so sure, did not stop laughing as she looked at Serine reflected in the crystal ball.
