A young girl in a village without protection - Chapter 33

Translator: Shaini | Editor: Darling

Once Selesina and Hisui reached the house in Harmil, they quickly decided to check the schedule hereafter and coordinate it.

While drinking the tea that Hisui poured for her she was thinking about what to do.

“The only one that is ready for the ceremony of blessings from the village of Selin is little Gisele. Mr. Anton and I will certainly go with her……”

The question was, should the go to the great shrine of the smaller shrine in the kingdom.

Once the children turn 6 years of age in this world, they go to the shrine to find out their blessings. They can also find out their aptitude this way.

The seal of blessings appears somewhere on the person’s body —–Selesina didn’t have one.

‘But, it looks like I might have one after all…..’

She wanted to go to the great shrine and figure out whether she had blessings or not.

In that case, it will be fine to take Gisele along and have her ceremony at the great shrine.

It didn’t really matter where she had her ceremony since the results wouldn’t change.

“The ceremony for blessings is held on the last day of every month…………we also have some work there, should we go to the great shrine with Mr. Anton and Gisele? The two of them can return first when the ceremony is over.”

“That’s right…..”

“If it’s not an issue then I’ll send the documents to the great shrine. I’ll ask Mr. Hanley to guide me so it should be alright.”

“……..Then I’ll leave it to you. Let’s tell Gisele and Mr. Anton tomorrow.”

“Yes.”

Since the conversation about the ceremony was completed smoothly she went on to the next topic in order to raise her skill level.

“Hisui………there is another very important thing that I want to discuss with you.”

“Lady Sele?”

She grabbed his hand tightly and looked at him. He was also affected by her serious expression.

“I want to defeat monsters.”

“……….Yes?”

Hisui’s eyes went wide since he didn’t expect that. After a few moments of silence, he held his head.

“Lady Sele, are you serious?”

His eyes were telling her that it was better to stop here since he didn’t want to tell her something bad. A mature Lady like her was going to defeat demons with those slender arms? If you were to ask a hundred people, perhaps all of them would say that it was impossible.

Hisui sighed and looked at Selesina.

“You have a reason right? I don’t believe that you would say something like that without a good reason.”

“………….”

As expected, it wouldn’t work if she didn’t give him a reason. She smiled.

The fact that she needed to do that in order to raise the skill level of ‘Blessings of the Amulet’ and things about the game she obviously couldn’t tell him.

‘More so a fantasy game, how should she explain it to him…….?’

“There are 2 reasons.”

Selesina raised her fingers and started with the first explanation.

“I haven’t left the mansion often before this but nowadays I’m out most of the time. I move around freely inside the village………that’s I wanted to be able to have the means of defeating monsters as a means of self-defense.“

“That………certainly does make sense. If I were to protect you without fail it would be fine but I’m still inexperienced……….”

For now, I was only moving around in father’s and my territory but if I had to go far or go to someone else’s territory then I would need an escort.

Hisui heard Selesina and scolded himself that he needed to properly thing about security.

“………What is the other reason?”

“The second one is for the great tree and the village.”

“Eh?”

“I can’t explain it too well but if I can defeat monsters as the Lord of the land then the great tree will feel relieved.”

As expected, he wouldn’t get convinced with this………..Selesina thought as she explained the reason to him without really lying.

“The great tree will be relieved…..’

He was slightly surprised but he nodded that he understood.

“Is it fine?”

“Do you want me to say that it’s not?”

“No, that’s not what I mean! I’m very happy!!”

“………..Haaa.”

Selesina hurriedly shook her head as Hisui smiled and gave up.

“I don’t understand much about the great tree so I can only trust you Lady Sele.”

“Hisui…….”

“A beautiful white flower bloomed on Lady Sele’s great tree……..if it were to grow further then how much more beautiful would it become.”

Hisui smiled cheerfully as he looked forward to it.

The next day, Selesina went to the weapons store with Hisui and Toi.

They were first going to find a weapon that she could handle.

“Welco………me?”

The owner of the weapons store made a perplexed expression. Perhaps he thought that we mistook the store. He was just about to say that.

Selesina smiled and looked around. Long swords, short swords, there were various kinds of swords, there were also some bows and hammers.

“Good day. I want a weapon that I can handle…….”

“Umm, for you Lady?”

“Yes and for him as well.”

Selesina nodded and explained to him that they were also looking for a weapon for Hisui.

There weren’t many weapons that a lady like Selesina could handle. She couldn’t swing a sword around with one hand and something big would be too heavy for her.

When the shop owner started to look around Hisui gave a supplementary explanation.

“Excuse me, please give weapons that a rear guard would use.”

‘Ahh, that’s right. In that case…………the bow, throwing knife or a spirit ball would be good.”

He chose 3 for Selesina.

A bow that was light but wouldn’t launch for long distances.

A small knife that you could throw at the enemy.

A ball used for attack that was infused with the power of the spirits.

‘Spirit ball……….it was an iron plate item in the game but I never thought that I would be able to use it after being reborn here.’

“I don’t have the confidence to throw knives so I guess I’ll go for the bow or the spirit ball.”

Selesina took them both in her hands.

The bow was relatively light but she would end up exhausted till she could get used to it. Even after several hours of practice, it might be difficult to use.

The spirit ball was an item unique to this world. It was so rare that it’s a good price for a disposable item. 

It had a tremendous effect. If you throw it at the enemy you can attack with the power of each attribute.

For example, a fire spirit’s fire magic. There were also water, wind, and earth spirit balls.

It was about the size of a baseball not too big.

What was concerning her was the price…………the bow was 50,000 Luz. Each knife was a 1000 Luz. Each spirit ball was 10,000 Luz.

‘The spirit ball is expensive !!’

However, it was easy to use for the strong and even for the weak like Selesina. She was thinking about her leftover savings in her mand……….she had to think about the expenses hereafter as well, it was a little tight.

She obviously had to spend on the development of the village, Hisui’s salary and she may even need to employ a maid and an escort after this.

‘Yosh, I’ve decided!’

“I’ll take a bow and spirit balls………….can you give me 5 spirit balls?”

It would be very expensive to defeat 1000 monsters with spirit balls so it would be better to try out the bow first.

The spirit ball had high attacking power so she bought it for emergencies and she also wanted to keep some in the village.

“Five spirit balls……….thank you!”

The shop owner nodded brightly.

The spirit balls were expensive so they weren’t used as the main weapon. But it was better to keep a few.

“We also need a weapon for Hisui.”

“I want to be an avant-garde so something like a sword would be good right?”

“I’ll prepare it immediately.”

The shop owner quickly brought some long swords, daggers, hammer, etc, and lined them up.
