Next Saintess (5)

“Haa...”

Amelia was sighing in her room.

Poyong!

‘What to name?’

Already 5 days had passed since hearing the words from Frecia to get along well with the slime directly.

Also finished reporting to vice priest David.

Of course vice priest David got angry again saying what sound is that as soon as hearing the report and the treatment of the slime.

Fortunately saintess Frecia put out the opinion of watching since she will personally guarantee so could pass.

And Amelia tried to take care of the slime as the respected Frecia’s words.

However, even trying to get along well, could not grasp how to do.

Because a slime.

‘Wh, what does a slime eat? Okay to give what people eat?’

First from the worry about basic food to the worry of whether okay to take around in front of people?

And came to even the worry of how to treat the slime that has its own intelligence? Whether full of dissatisfaction toward itself?

And such worries of Amelia were mostly resolved by Paulen who deals sensually without thinking.

“Hahaha! Heard that in villages that raise slimes even make residual food processing with slimes! Roughly feeding anything would be okay!”

“Well, no need to worry such! Rather not watching eyes and just being together people will get used to!”

“As expected Amelia! Low self-esteem is the same! Thinking a new friend arose and treating is enough!”

Fortunately the worries done until now were mostly resolved thanks to Paulen’s unrestrained method.

And this morning.

Amelia asked Paulen the newly thought worry this time.

“Paulen, by the way what shall we do with this child’s name?”

“Yes?”

“Thinking, seems the name is not yet.”

“Uh... huh? Right?”

At Amelia’s question Paulen also blinked eyes.

No need to mind saying try this try that without even calling the name, but newly realized that not even named yet.

“How can this be! To think even forgot naming! I am also still lacking muscles!”

“...Why suddenly muscles coming out?”

“Because blood that would go to the head is insufficient the head did not turn properly! For blood to be supplied well to the head in the end muscles are important! Heup!”

Paulen gave himself a shout while making biceps.

“Thinking everything with muscles is not good I think.”

Amelia started pondering what to name while stroking the slime that jumped poyong poyong on the floor and went up on her knee and reached the present.

But truly blank what would be good to name.

‘Shall take a hero’s name? No, then too cool? Rather do a cute name? But don’t know if the monster would like a cute name...’

Amelia who repeated the worry asked the slime.

“What name do you like?”

‘Name?’

Suddenly asked the name so the slime tilted the body sideways.

▶Only now thinking of the name lmao

▶Anyway human bastard intelligence lmao

[Noblesse Fire]▶By the way how many is Squishy’s name now?

▶Squishy, Alexandros the 2nd, Tongtongi.

▶What is Alexandros the 2nd’s presence? lmao

▶Ack lmao anyway cool, have a drink~.

While the viewers were laughing.

The slime rather had a small expectation.

‘Name!’

The slime also knows that own name is several now.

But not thinking that bothersome and rather expected what name will be named next.

Burrurrurur!

Even trembled at the large expectation.

“...Sorry, you might not be able to answer.”

“No need to think complicated. Just attaching the name the saintess wants is enough.”

Since inside the Great Church so there might be people who hear while passing, Paulen called Amelia saintess.

“Even if the name I want...”

Amelia drooped the shoulders downward without confidence.

‘Amelia! No energy!’

Poyong!

For 5 days the slime noticed that when Amelia droops the shoulders is when no energy.

And already knew that at such times giving massage is good.

Burrurrur!

The slime immediately went up on Amelia’s shoulder and started trembling.

“Ah, aaa, aaaa~.”

“This child is really kind. Even giving budul budul massage like this every time the saintess has no energy.”

“Ththth, that I also kookookoo know well~.”

‘Giving budul budul this just good is only this slime... budul budul?’

After receiving all the slime’s massage, Amelia detached the slime and said.

“Paulen, by any chance how about Buduri?”

“Buduri?”

“Yes, since trembles budul budul Buduri...Too childish?”

At Amelia’s proposal Paulen smiled.

“No? Think suits well. Let’s ask the slime too. Do you like the name Buduri?”

‘Buduri!’

Joyful at a new name arising.

Burrurrur!

The slime trembled as if expressing own heart.

“Hahaha! Seems likes!”

“Then your name is Buduri from now. Please take care, Buduri.”

‘Yeah!’

▷Buduri! Name arose!

▶lmao new name arose.

▶Buduri lmao

▶Human bastard’s naming sense.

The slime wanting to boast the newly named name.

But Squishy Queen was dissatisfied.

[Squishy Queen]▶Haa, why naming such a childish name to the same kind!

▶????

▶While naming herself Squishy Queen... picking a fight?

[Squishy Queen]▶What about Squishy Queen! An elegant and refined and beautiful nickname!

▶Wa.

▶That is sincere.

▶This is the heard only in words... double standard?

+++

Became living together with the slime but Amelia’s daily life did not change greatly.

Early morning.

Amelia woke from sleep and stretched.

“Kuuuung~.”

When waking in the morning, strokes the slime and wakes then gets up from the bed and starts light gymnastics.

“One two three four.”

The flexibility gymnastics that came to do because Paulen emphasized good to do when waking in the morning.

Around when finishing the gymnastics, sleep completely wakes.

Tok tok tok.

“Saintess, bath time.”

When time comes, the believer who serves the bath knocks Amelia’s door.

“Yes. Let’s go, Buduri.”

Poyong!

Amelia goes to the personal bathhouse with the help of the believers together with the slime and bathes.

When first bathing together with the slime the believers showed very surprised reactions.

But now.

Swaaaa.

“Let’s wash carefully today too, Buduri.”

Burrurrur!

While serving Amelia’s bath, washing the slime with a smile.

Along with coming to know that the slime is not dangerous until now.

“When the bath ends, will ask the usual.”

‘Yeah!’

Because came to know the charm of the slime’s vibration massage same as Amelia, Paulen.

Since cannot help but meet every morning, an idea Amelia devised so that the believers and the slime can get close quickly.

After finishing the bath, Paulen who finished the morning training joins and eats breakfast together.

“As expected the meal after exercise is the best! How! Saintess also this time...”

“Not doing.”

Refuses Paulen’s words proposing morning training beyond stretching as always.

“Regrettable. Buduri! You also eat well!”

Burrurrur!

The slime also ate the food put out to itself.

Not luxurious like when stayed at Count Ludendion, but a meal made with materials of much higher price than when lived with the Godric Party.

This was because the meal was made valuing health rather than taste.

‘Delicious!’

Of course a delicious meal for the slime.

After finishing the meal, moves to the prayer room and prays together in a place where ordinary believers and priests are.

Of course also takes the slime.

“Let’s thank the light god Rutinus-nim who protects peaceful days today as well.”

Prayer time is very quiet and all raise prayers of thanks to god along with a moment of silence.

When the slime first came there was a stir, but thanks to being so quiet adaptation was not difficult.

Rather there were even believers tilting heads whether brought a model instead of the slime because too gentle.

After morning prayer ends, the time given to Amelia is mostly free time.

Occasionally there are days of directly treating when there are patients with wounds or curses that require the next saintess’s divine power, but besides that no correlation what does.

And Amelia mostly devoted this free time to reading the bible again or prayer and holy law training.

This was never because pressured inside the church that if a saintess must not easily show appearance to others or neglect holy law training.

Rather this era peaceful more than when there is a calamity.

The church wanted Amelia to go outside a bit more rather than holy law training and show face even to the believers and more surely imprint the existence of the saintess.

Currently since saintess Frecia is still alive not saying greatly but she is also an elderly in full age.

So someday Amelia must succeed Frecia and become the support of the believers’ hearts.

However, Amelia had low self-esteem.

Even now 5 years passed since selected as the next saintess, held doubt whether she suits the saintess.

If such self goes outside, rather might break the illusion about the saintess the believers think.

Would the believers be disappointed?

Could not not have such worries.

Because for Amelia the perfect saintess was exactly Frecia.

Always benevolent and broad-hearted and thinking of the world people truly the saintess among saintesses.

Respecting and following her, felt more seriously how insufficient the current self is.

Self has no confidence and does not know if self is benevolent and even now doubts why selected as the saintess.

So at least decided to continuously train only the holy law she resolved.

From the heart that if the holy law skill is good the believers’ illusion would break less.

With such a heart Amelia was devoting to holy law training gathering divine power today as well.

But recently she found it difficult to concentrate on training.

‘W, wanting to go outside?’

From two days ago.

When Amelia was praying in her room and doing holy law training.

The slime was on the windowsill.

As if looking outside.

If one day would have thought seems wanting to be in that place today but already the 3rd day.

No matter how much the opponent is a slime, could guess what thought.

“Amelia.”

And that even Paulen who is always beside Amelia except when sleeping and bathing for escort could know.

“Seems Buduri wants to go outside?”

“Ugh... but if I who is still a very insufficient saintess wander the streets together with Buduri, a flaw might go to saintess Frecia or the church’s status.”

“Saintess Frecia and the church’s status are not that soft. Moreover if taking outside rather wouldn’t a rumor arise of the saintess who even reformed a monster?”

“That is...”

Paulen judged that recommending more is useless as now.

“Good. Then let’s do this. Even if not going to the streets at least go outside the room. Buduri.”

‘Huh?’

Poyong!

When calling itself the slime immediately moved the place from the windowsill to the bed.

Toward such a slime Paulen smiled and said.

“Let’s go do exercise.”

‘Exercise?’

The slime tilted the body sideways.
