A young girl in a village without protection - Chapter 109

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

When Selesina arrived at the Great Temple, Hel was the first to greet her.

“Maybe he thinks I’m bringing potato chips……”, I thought to myself.

But Hel greeted me politely and told me that he was replacing Lucaria, who was too busy to meet me.

“Welcome. It is a pleasure to meet you here.”

“Thank you for welcoming me, Master Hel.”

“You must be tired after your long journey. We have prepared a room for you if you would like to come with us.”

“Yes.”

The room we arrived in, escorted by Hel, was very spacious. There was a window facing a courtyard with a huge tree, and if you looked down from there, you could see the tree.

(Huh, is it okay to have such a nice room? Well, I’m the fiancée of Lord Lucaria……”

It’s no wonder that she was treated so well. It’s purely amazing that you can see all the trees that ordinary people can’t even see every day.

But at the same time, it makes me miss my own big tree.

(But don’t be sad!)

When Selesina looked up, she saw that Hisui was being explained something by the priest.

“Oh, he decided to become a priest because he wanted to follow Selesina, didn’t he?

 He said he’d talk about it and explain the room.”

“I see…….”

Maybe it was because Selesina was looking at me strangely, but Hel told me.

Hisui had been an apprentice butler, so he was basically able to do most of the work, but as expected in a large temple, there would be many things that would change. It seems that both Selesina and Hisui will be busy for a while.

Hisui noticed Selesina’s gaze and came over to us.

“Master Sele. I need to get my vestments and stuff, so can I leave for a while?”

“Of course.”

“Thank you very much.”

(Oh, so Hisui will be wearing vestments too…….)

He looked good in his apprentice butler’s uniform, but I’m sure he would look good in vestments as well. If he just stood there quietly, he would make a mysterious boy.

When Hisui and the priest left the room, I was alone with Hel.

(Even though he’s Lord Lucaria’s brother, it’s still not good.)

When I looked at Hel, I saw that he had relaxed his shoulders and was slouching, unlike before. The priest was gone, and he seemed to have stopped slouching.

(The gap is terrible…..)

As Selesina chuckled, Hel said, “Yes, that’s it.”

“You want to see the big tree? I saw you were looking out the window.2

“What, you don’t mind if I go……?”

“Not at all. The only person here who can say no to me and Selesina is Lucaria. And he wouldn’t say that, so it’s not a problem.”

“Hel…….”

It’s a very selfish thing to say.

But in reality, it’s probably like that, so it’s indeed not a problem to go.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“Well, since we’re here, let’s go to the big tree.”

“Oh.”

Using the inner spiral staircase, Selesina and Hel came to the bottom of the Great Tree. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but the Great Tree in the Great Temple has a different presence than those in other territories.

When I came here before, I touched the tree and realized how great my blessings were.

(Is it okay to touch it without permission?)

Now I know the name of the goddess who blesses me, and my reaction when I touch the tree may be different.

However, it might not be a good idea to touch it without permission. She stretched out her hand in a worried manner, “No!” And then Selesina withdrew her hand.

“What are you doing?”

“Whoa!”

Hel, who had been watching Selesina’s actions, grabbed Selesina’s wrist and let her touch the tree, saying, “If you want to touch it, just touch it.”

Immediately, light danced around Selesina’s body. Rose Red’s left eye turned baby pink and a sign of blessing appeared.

The same mystical phenomenon that happened back then…

《Pilon! A hidden quest has occurred!》　

Save Hel!

If you change the fate of Hel, who will be resurrected as the last boss, you’ll gain the skill [Saint’s Prayer].

–I gulped.

(Hey, hey, hey, what’s this quest? I don’t get it!)

There were hidden quests in the game, but all the information about them was in the strategy book. However, I’m pretty sure there was no such quest in the game.

To begin with–

(In the first place, only I, who was blessed by the Goddess of Fate, can do this!)

Definitely, she can’t be a heroine.

Not knowing what to make of it, Selesina’s mind was in chaos.

“What’s wrong? Selesina.”

“Oh, uhm, nothing. I was so moved by the tree that I couldn’t even speak.”

“What’s that?”

Hel, who had been worried about her, laughed at Selesina’s response.

But Selesina was far more than that. The new hidden quest seemed to be a way to save Hel, too.

(But you can’t use the power of the blessing freely…….)

In fact, no option appears when you look at Hel.

(Oh, then why don’t you just go …… and pray to the big tree?)

I think that maybe I can power up.

Selesina slowly closed her eyes as she touched the great tree.

“I am a servant of Norn, Goddess of Fate. Please let me hear her voice…”

Then Selesina’s heart turned hot. She knew intuitively that the goddess Norn must have responded to her.

But it wasn’t enough to hear her voice.

(Please, tell me how to help Hel ……!)

I tried to pray desperately, but the fever gradually diminished and disappeared.

(No? ……)

When Selesina opened her eyes, her baby pink eyes had returned to their original rose red. It seems that she still needs more training to be able to use the power of the blessing.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
