I Became a Fake Priest the Saintess Is Obsessed With

54 – Side Story: At that time, Amelia and Mabel…

Amelia and the others who went to the oral circus tent easily attacked the clowns.

There were seven clowns waiting in the tent.

Brielle and dozens of wizards holding Tina, who had turned into a sword, faced them.

The clowns who collaborated were very powerful.

In the middle, the demonic beasts were released and the party was outnumbered and each individual’s strength was at its peak, so they were pushed back little by little.

“It’s my turn to step forward.”

At the moment of crisis, it was none other than Dorothy who gave a twist to the atmosphere.

She held up her hatchet in her small hand and jumped forward, defeating the clowns and demon beasts one by one.

“hahahahaha! It’s nice to hear you scream!”

After defeating the clowns with an axe, she has blood all over her body.

Although her appearance was a little scary, there is no doubt that she performed amazingly.

“Let’s go, everyone! I’ll be in the lead!”

Thanks to Dorothy, the group had time to rest and finished reorganizing.

All enemies, led by Brielle and Dorothy, were subdued.

“Ugh… It was hard… Wasn’t it, Saint?”

After finishing all the work, Tina approached Amelia, who was sitting in a corner and resting.

Tina was manipulated by Brielle and her blood was smeared all over her body, turning her blood into seven layers.

Amelia was exhausted from treating her wounded men during and after the battle.

“It’s hard… I’m dizzy from using too much holy power…”

“Is that so? I want to wash it right away! When blood hardens, it doesn’t wash off easily and it smells terrible!”

Tina sighed repeatedly as she looked at the blood between her armpits.

“hehehe… Will it be okay for those who went to the new tent?”

“Are you talking about the place Ivan went to?”

“Yes… I guess I’m worried about the priest…”

“Well, wouldn’t it be okay? Just looking at the lineup is enough to make me burp…”

Tina’s words reminded Amelia of the people who went to the gossip tent.

Temiel is the president of the long-established Witchcraft Academy and is said to be the best of all time.

Shurer is a man called the Great Sage, a sage who realized the knowledge of God.

Lesia is said by Ivan to be a saint who is close to the strongest in the world.

Although there were only three people accompanying him, those three people were people who displayed great dignity in the empire.

“If I were a clown, I would have run away as soon as I heard those three were coming.”

“I’m sure…You don’t have to worry…”

I felt a little sorry for the clowns that such people would go out of their way to dismantle just one tent.

“Anyway, seeing as you’re so worried about Ivan, don’t you think things are normal between you two?”

Tina smiled and asked the question with pure intentions.

“W-what do you mean…!”

Amelia jumped up with her cheeks blushing.

Tina tilted her head, wondering why she was like that.

“Haven’t you two been hanging out a lot lately? You’ve been in and out of each other’s rooms a few times…”

“That’s so the priest can cure my curse…!”

“Really? I saw you two walking around late at night a few months ago…”

A few months ago, it would have been when Amelia wanted to see her star and dragged Ivan with her.

Amelia was embarrassed by Tina’s continued questioning and said, “Ahh…!” The same little scream.

“Saint Amelia! You are here!”

“Yes, four! They were here!”

“…? Your face is really red. Are you okay?”

“Yes! Oh, there’s no problem…! Rather, Miss Dorothy, why did you come looking for me…?”

“Oh, look at me! I guess I made a mistake, and one of the clowns who got hit by the ax is in critical condition! I think you need to treat him urgently! Please follow me!”

With perfect timing, Dorothy called Amelia.

Amelia quickly greeted Tina and followed Dorothy.

After running for a while, they came to the place where the injured clown was.

The injured clown looked very critical.

There is a wound on his back from an axe, and blood is flowing freely.

I roughly knew the clown’s name.

Nia’s second clown, the representative of the seven clowns, was a clown named Nahia, the theme of joy.

As soon as Amelia saw him, she quickly ran over and placed her hand on his back.

“Mother Earth. Please give me the strength to walk again…”

As she chanted her spell, the wounds on her back slowly began to heal.

After a while, the wound became ugly, but blood no longer flowed.

“Phew… I’m glad! It was difficult to treat with my holy power, but you are a saint after all!”

“Oh, no… It’s nothing special…”

“Is that so? Oh, wait a minute. I forgot and left my ax behind…!”

Dorothy was very embarrassed when she could not feel the ax that was supposed to be on her belt.

“I’ll just bring an ax!! Please wait here!!”

Because the ax was an important item to Dorothy, she had no choice but to run and leave Amelia behind.

“Yes…?”

Amelia, who was alone with the fallen clown, glanced at Nahia.

The clown is tied with a rope so it doesn’t seem like he can do any harm, but it’s inevitable that he will become nervous.

But Amelia said, ‘It won’t happen…’ ?’ Just as he was thinking the same thing, Nahia stirred, opened his eyes and glared at Amelia.

Amelia was startled and almost fell on her back.

“Oh, um… Are you okay…?”

To get rid of the awkward atmosphere, I gathered the courage to speak up.

But the clown chuckles and says.

“It’s such a sad life. You’re just living a life of a mirror reflecting someone else’s image. Ah… Poor ahahahaha, who will save you from your tragedy?”

Amelia tried to ask Nahia what she meant, but she couldn’t.

This is because Nahia was absorbed into the shadow as if melting into it.

***

It has been several months since Count Akied was executed.

After the Count’s death, Mabel was training as an adventurer under Poppi.

Even though it’s called training, I’m only scratching the surface of training by following Bongpi around all day long and learning his adventurous ways…

In the first place, Ppongpi often goes to dangerous places, so his training is definitely going well.

Mabel, who stubbornly survived in the back alleys, did not find it particularly difficult as she followed Boppi.

What’s a little difficult is that I worry about Ivan, who sometimes rolls around with his younger siblings at church.

“Kkekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk, I handled it safely today too!”

Poppi smiled as he looked at the huge demon beast he had hunted.

At his feet, a grizzly bear, classified as a high-class horse attendant, is dead with bullets shot all over her body.

“Mabel! Give me the knife!”

“Yes, yes.”

Mabel handed Poppy a crude-looking knife.

After being handed the knife, he said, “Let’s show off our skills!” He starts yelling and dismembering the grizzly bear here and there.

“Very good! This will be enough for today’s meal!”

Poppi dismembered the bear in one go and cooked the fresh meat over a bonfire.

His cooking skills were very good, and he soon created a tender bear steak.

“Mabel, come and sit down! I’m really hungry so I need to eat a lot!”

“I’ll sit down, don’t rush me, old man.”

Mabel sat on a blunt stone as a chair and bit into the steak that Poppy had made.

The moment she chews the meat, the soft texture and light taste spreads in her mouth.

“Wow, old man, you’re good at cooking, aren’t you?”

“Of course. If you go on adventures, you will improve, so don’t be jealous.”

“I never said I was jealous…”

Mabel was chewing meat when she glanced at Boppi.

This old but healthy man has been hunting countless demonic beasts using the guns he carries.

In fact, the cost of bullets would be more than what you would earn by hunting with a gun.

Bullets are already difficult to make because the main material, gunpowder, can only be collected from volcanoes where dragons reside, making them more expensive than gold.

But that doesn’t mean that Bongpi can’t use other weapons.

Pongpi is good at using various weapons such as knives and recurve bows.

In particular, his spear skills were so great that Mabel left a high praise.

I couldn’t understand why a person like that would go around hunting demon beasts with a gun.

“What kind of money do you spend on guns? Don’t bullets cost more than hunting?”

Mabel, unable to contain her curiosity, looked at Poppy’s gun and asked.

“It’s okay because I earned a lot when I was young. Even the leadership gave me a generous pension.”

“Still, isn’t the gun rather ineffective if you have the same level of skill as a spear?”

“It’s difficult because I’m old. If you’re going to swing a spear, it’s more convenient to use a gun that has enough lethal force to hold it with one hand and fire it.”

“…Why do you hunt if it’s so hard?”

“It’s for the dream! It’s a magical beast that I can never hunt. It’s like invincible, and my goal is to defeat a powerful enemy called absolute. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk?”

Mabel is… I nodded, saying yes.

I was definitely thinking that a crazy person like Boppi was not hunting to make money.

I knew he had a lot of money because the equipment he sometimes brought was worth over a hundred gold coins.

Poppi looked through her bag and stroked her chin.

“Hmm…I’m already out of bullets. Mabel, pack your bags.”

“Huh? Why?”

“I have to go get bullets. It’s hard for me to fight without a gun.”

“You can make up for that with what you sell in the capital.”

“How many guns do I use, but can I replenish them at a crude bullet store in the capital?”

Poppi suddenly screamed.

“Oh, it’s so noisy! Then where can I get it!”

“Volcano.”

“Huh?”

“Go directly to the volcano ruled by dwarves and airlift it!”

And so their journey to the volcano begins.
