To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 45
Episode 45 Reversed Journey (4)
Rey, who had built a tent well, sighed, holding back the paladins who were very impatient to build their own tent.
Somehow, as time goes on, they seem restless because they want to show their loyalty.
It’s natural for them to value faith and loyalty, but isn’t it too much to do?
He lit a bonfire as usual, put rocks in it, and put a pot on it, and he finished preparing to make porridge.
It was quite hard to eat only porridge all day, but I just had to endure it until tomorrow.
He had been running at a fairly fast pace so far, so he was able to enter the Principality of Silos by noon tomorrow.
While watching the porridge being cooked, Iriel approached.
“You are making porridge.”
She, who showed abnormal symptoms during the day, was no longer seen. Ray couldn’t be that lucky.
In her hand as she speaks, she holds the bowl she received from Ray earlier.
It seems that he came very determinedly and to get something.
Seeing that, Ray smiled and asked.
“Would you like to eat too?”
“great.”
The answer was so fast that I would have been sad if I hadn’t asked.
He took the bowl from her and handed it the right amount.
The sight of her holding the bowl with both hands and blowing on it made me laugh again.
It is clear that she would have run to this place holding a bowl in her face.
Iriel, who was eating porridge, glanced at him as he kept giggling and laughing.
“…why.”
“No ha ha ha. His cheeks become convex and he eats like a hamster. Ha ha ha ha ha.”
“hamster?”
It seems there are no hamsters here.
she said puffing out her cheeks.
“Is that an insult?”
“why? If it’s insulting, are you going to hand me over to the Heretic Judge? Ha ha ha ha ha.”
“…Puhuh.”
He looks funny too.
However, as if he had any pride, he kept his expressionless face immediately after bursting into laughter.
“…Don’t tease me.”
“Eat it. I think I’ll be there by tomorrow, so I’ll have to go to bed early.”
“i know.”
Iriel turned his head while talking.
Ray also ate porridge and looked up at the sky.
The surroundings were still noisy and bright from a bonfire.
A lot happened in just one day.
Unlike yesterday, today, people look at themselves differently and treat them differently. However, if there was one thing that was the same as yesterday, it was the night sky.
The blue and orange colors harmonized and the jewels densely embedded in the dark purple background made me realize again that this place is not Earth.
You will not see this sight even if you pay money on Earth.
At that moment, a meteor passed by.
Iriel looked at him and said.
“It’s a meteor.”
There was a hint of longing in her words.
The name in modern times was also Meteor.
Hana feels awkward calling her even though it is homonymous with her own name.
‘I guess I’ve gotten used to this.’
It seems to have been forgotten because it is not called by that name.
He smiled bitterly and looked up at the sky.
Then, something came to mind.
“that’s right. In a book I read, there was a saying that if you make a wish before the meteor falls, your wish will come true.”
As I said it in passing, Iriel reacted.
“……!”
She quickly put her hands together and prayed.
It was the moment the saintess believed in superstition.
When the prayer was over, she cleared her throat as if she could see her ugliness.
“Hmmmm. In the Empire, it is said that anyone who sees a meteor with someone will die a happy death. Of course I don’t believe it.”
happy death At Iriel’s words, Ray thought for a moment.
‘What is a happy death really like?’
everyone dies He had saved many lives, but he did not know that there was such a thing as a happy death.
Death accomplished something. death that saved someone. There are many things, but among them, is there such a thing as a ‘happy death’?
no. He thought it was just a ‘better death’.
Everyone feels regret at death. Even if it is someone who has attempted suicide.
There is no such thing as a happy death. That was his conclusion.
He also agreed with Iriel.
“I can’t believe it.”

After riding the horse for half a day, he was able to arrive at the Principality of Silos.
It may be called a border, but there was clearly something similar to the border between the Kingdom of Silia and the Principality of Silos.
This is because it was recognized by the Kingdom of Silia as a nation.
said the border guards, tensed as a group of soldiers approached them.
“Please clarify your business.”
At that, Iriel quietly showed me a personal letter with Deogard’s seal on it.
The garrison who confirmed it swallowed the wind and quickly opened the road.
“Huh! welcome!”
I put my spear aside and passed them opening the road, finally entering the Principality of Silos.
Feeling that they had arrived, their shoulders felt weak.
Priest Geol, who saw this, said to the dispatchers.
“Do not relax until you enter the castle!”
At the words of the priest, those who had a military discipline answered again with a lot of strength.
“yes!”
“yes!”
“yes!”
Finally, we arrived at the estate of Prince Silos.
* * *
Arriving at the castle, as if they had been prepared in advance, the fights immediately rushed.
Guide them to where they will be staying and always wait around thinking about them who are tired.
The Grand Duke of Silos, who gave away the entire VIP hall, did not call them right away, perhaps because he thought of their fatigue.
Ray liked it quite a bit.
If you were an ordinary noble, you would have tried to solve your business no matter what the fatigue of others.
But a man named Shilos did not.
I don’t know if it’s because the opponent is a holy country and Iriel and I are confident, but I don’t know if it’s because I just have a caring heart.
Ray was also in a state of accumulated fatigue, so he went in and washed himself as soon as he was shown to the room.
No matter how much magic can clean one’s body, it feels like washing one’s own body completely relieves fatigue.
Sibi changes into the clothes she prepared for her and lies down on the bed.
Comfort and comfort engulfed my body and I didn’t want to do anything.
At that moment, I heard a sound I didn’t want to hear the most.
Knock- Knock-
“Is the saint sleeping?”
Ray’s expression darkened.
It’s not late at night, but it’s time to sleep.
What are you going to do at such a late hour?
Ray said as he lay down.
“ruler.”
Then, the sound of Bolmen came from outside the door.
“Are you still awake?”
Ignoring the tiredness I felt in my body, I opened the door and she stood there smiling.
said Ray, yawning.
“What is it?”
“I have something to tell you about the Grand Duke.”
It is very annoying to walk around the room on tiptoe while talking.
Ray said, narrowing his eyes.
“What are you looking for?”
“ah. I was worried that the fight might bother the saint.”
“Nothing like that.”
“Then can I come in for a minute?”
As he spoke, his body was already halfway in.
That image from when we first met was already half-destroyed, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
Entering the room, Iriel looked around carefully, then pointed to the table and suggested a seat.
“Sit.”
“I don’t know who the owner is.”
Did you say that the host was evangelized? Seeing his natural appearance now, that was just right.
As I pulled the chair back and sat down, Iriel hit something similar with divine power.
It looked like a silent magic that blocks out the surrounding sounds.
What are you trying to say, why are you preparing so carefully in advance?
‘Is it something that should not go into the ears of the grand duke?’
Iriel quietly opened her mouth to see if her thoughts were correct.
“There is nothing good about being known to the Grand Duke…”
“What’s going on?”
What is the reason for talking to myself who is not yet in the position of a saint?
I was curious in many ways.
“His Majesty Theogarde said that the Archduke’s daughter was ill. However, the time we arrived here is early evening… it’s a time when there’s nothing you can’t call if you want to.”
As I continued to look at Iriel without answering, she continued.
“But they didn’t call us. Even though his own daughter is ill… The Archduke has a daughter and a son. If so, your daughter’s illness isn’t as serious as you thought…”
“…You’re trying to use your daughter’s illness diplomatically? There’s no problem since the successor will be taken over by the son anyway…”
She was slightly surprised by his sharp words.
“That’s right.”
Could he use his daughter like that? Ray asked.
“Are there many cases in which nobles use their children this way?”
“It’s not a lot… but it’s hard to say it’s rare either.”
oh my god. Are you selling your children because you have nothing to sell? It wasn’t decided that the grand duke was like that, but if it was really like that, wouldn’t it be the twins of the world.
Before Ray could say anything, she spoke first.
“If that’s the case, the Grand Duke will definitely use all sorts of tricks against the saint. It’s still a family, but there’s nothing wrong with being careful.”
I finally understood her words.
The reason why I say these things to myself who has no foundation. And in order to know the situation and respond to it in case you don’t know.
Wouldn’t it be more comfortable to turn away from a new saint who seems young and inexperienced rather than trying to use the current saint who has everything?
Seeing the troubled Ray, she smiled.
“Don’t think too much. I’m here to tell you to be careful today.”
“It’s a pretty big case for being careful, isn’t it?”
“I believe that the Holy Son will fall well on his own.”
Iriel stood up from her seat with a slight wink.
“I’ll just go. Because it doesn’t look good for a saint and a saintess to be alone at night. Good night, my saint.”
Ray, who waved at the words pouring in like a rapid-fire cannon, was able to think again after seeing Iriel leave.
Ray lay down on the bed.
‘Can I get anything from me by using my child as a discard? I don’t have any rights yet?’
He may have the status and basic authority as a saint, but he himself did not yet know anything about that authority.
Wouldn’t it be possible to use it only when you have something?
But all he had was the backpack he had brought from home.
They will use him, who has no position, no network, no money. Besides, if the fact that he is using himself is known, it is certain that the temple will be opened.
Ray shook his head in thought.
‘I just came here to ask you to be careful anyway, so there’s no need to think deeply.’
Shaking his head again and clearing his thoughts, he lay down on the bed and went to sleep.
