Chapter 46

Detoxification (1)

The next day.

“Paulen, Buduri can also glow.”

“Yes?”

Amelia explained the newly known ability of the slime to Paulen after finishing the morning prayer.

In the middle of reading the bible last night because cannot sleep the lantern fire went out.

Said the slime emitted light from the body and helped reading the bible.

“Did you dream?”

“No!”

Paulen did not believe Amelia’s words right away.

Because words of different direction.

Can understand the slime moving faster or jumping high.

Even if said made poison would have believed.

Because there is actually a type called poison slime.

But emitting light?

Completely different talk from existing common sense so could not help but doubt first.

Of course such doubt.

“Buduri! Try glowing!”

‘Yeah!’

Burrurrur!

Uuung!

Disappeared cleanly by the slime’s action.

“No, really glowing!?”

“So said, glowing.”

Paulen held the slime that turned off the light and looked.

“What on earth kind of slime are you?”

▶Ah, human face close-up extreme hate.

▶Remove it.

▶Hmm, if looking in detail might be delicious?

▶Would?

When Paulen was looking intently at the slime, Amelia resolved and said.

“Today! Let’s go out. Taking Buduri.”

“Really?”

Whoosh! Paulen turned the head and looked at Amelia.

What change of heart came on earth.

That self-doubting Amelia trying to go out taking the slime?

“Yes. Cannot just stay inside like this. I am also a saintess.”

‘If continuing to stay inside the church Buduri is also pitiful.’

+++

“Is saintess Amelia?”

“Right, orange hair that chest is unmistakable.”

“Beside there is also paladin Paulen-nim.”

“But what is held in Amelia-nim’s hand... isn’t it a slime?”

“Heard the sound of taking a slime even when returned last time but that was real?”

“Heard the young lady of the Ludendion count family also takes a slime around.”

“Is slime the trend of the social world these days?”

The slime that originally should have gone on Paulen’s shoulder.

But Amelia took courage and directly held the slime and wandered the streets.

The next saintess Amelia who usually stays only inside the church and does not show appearance.

Therefore when she came outside people’s attention could not help but gather.

Even holding the slime more so.

‘Okay, okay, okay.’

Amelia repeated okay several times in the heart and comforted herself.

Low self-esteem Amelia observed people’s reactions.

Puzzled and wondrous but not hostile.

Not even scared whether because the slime’s appearance looks soft and harmless.

Above all, since herself with the status of saintess is holding, there were no people showing dramatic reactions.

People’s reactions are not bad.

Then from now act as a saintess.

Like the respected saintess Frecia.

Amelia first stopped by a stall and lightly greeted.

“Hello.”

“Oh my. Hello, saintess.”

“Nothing particular?”

“Of course. Isn’t this all god’s grace.”

Fitting the name Holy City the stall owners are also all believers serving god.

Even if holding a slime, the saintess coming and greeting directly was a joyful thing.

“Can you give one apple?”

“Please wait a moment! I will give the very freshest!”

Amelia received one apple and immediately handed the money.

“Oh my, saintess! Just give!”

“No. Cannot receive goodwill unconditionally just because saintess.”

“How can the heart be this kind.”

“...”

Trying to follow the respected Frecia as much as possible but still praise is awkward.

There is also anxiety whether can hear such words herself, but above all embarrassed so heat rises on the face.

“B, Buduri. Here, apple. Can eat?”

To lower the heat trying to rise on the face Amelia brought the just bought apple to the slime.

‘Apple!’

The slime rejoiced and absorbed the apple Amelia held out.

The stall merchant looked wondrous at the slime eating the apple he sold in front of the eyes.

“Saintess, is that slime safe?”

“Yes, yes! Of course. A very gentle and good slime. The name is Buduri.”

“Buduri?”

“When rejoicing trembles well. Right, Buduri?”

Burrurrur!

“Oh, really.”

The saintess gently talking to the slime and the soft slime responding to that.

That scene made the wariness in people’s hearts relax even more.

Amelia continued wandering the streets and the slime was joyful being able to see the new city scenery in detail.

And when sufficiently wandered the streets.

Amelia stopped by one place before returning to the Great Church.

That place was the clinic the Great Church operates itself.

The clinic was operated largely in 3.

One clinic operated free for children or the weak.

One clinic operated paying a certain amount because has economic leeway.

The remaining one clinic operated for those who received large injuries like adventurers or holy knights.

Amelia headed to the 3rd clinic among these.

“U, uuuugh! My arm...!”

“Please bring bandage here a bit!”

“Please endure a little. Will become comfortable soon.”

“Thank you for treatment today too, nun. By any chance later if time...”

“No.”

“Damn! If only not made a mistake there...!”

“Must not say bad words inside the clinic!”

“S, sorry.”

The third clinic was always busy.

Of course there were monsters even near the Holy City, and devout holy knights or adventurers from the Holy City frequently go dispatched toward places with difficulties even if not near the Holy City.

Amelia looked around the clinic once, then approached the patient who looks the most severely wounded.

“U, uuuugh!”

Beside the patient whose blood is spreading even with bandage wrapped on the abdomen, one nun was gathering both hands and treating with holy law.

However, because the wound is serious, the situation of insufficient with about using holy law once.

Amelia carefully put the hand on the nun’s shoulder.

A kind of signal informing that cooperating or having business inside the clinic.

The nun turned the head and looked at Amelia without untying the praying hands.

“Saintess!”

“I will also help.”

“Please.”

Did not stop treatment and show courtesy just because the saintess appeared, and Amelia also did not mind that.

In this place rather minding such itself was insincere.

Amelia put the hand on the patient’s wound and used holy law.

Uuung!

Subtle yellow light wraps the patient.

A saintess who can use strong holy law even without taking a prayer posture.

That was evidence that the saintess is that devout and receiving god’s love.

The speed of blood spreading on the bandage gradually slowed and soon completely stopped.

The patient’s face that was frowning in pain while sweating cold sweat was also gradually changing comfortably.

Amelia’s action of practicing holy law every day instead of meeting people because low self-esteem made it able to treat the suffering one faster.

“Amazing...”

The nun was impressed looking at that scene.

The wound she was treating little by little while striving, Amelia was treating cleanly with one holy law.

Amelia withdrew the hand and looked at the patient.

“Now will be okay.”

“Th, thank you. Saintess... nim.”

“Please rest comfortably.”

Amelia smiled looking at the patient whose wound healed and left for the place where the next patient is.

‘As expected too no confidence.’

Looking at that appearance Paulen chuckled.

No matter how much Amelia says insufficient to call herself saintess, the appearance just now was a proper and merciful saintess to anyone.

Amelia searching for the patient who looks severely wounded and displaying holy law.

Thanks to that the nuns and priests in the clinic could immediately treat the patients who need next treatment.

Patients gradually being treated.

But no matter how much saintess Amelia there was a patient who cannot be easily fixed.

“This patient...”

The patient had a thick teeth mark on the calf.

“A patient caught in Stone Snake’s poison.”

“Heuk! Huuk! Ut...! S, save me!”

Stone Snake.

A snake monster that has scales hard like stone, and size about 2 times an adult’s forearm.

The poison itself is not strong enough to reach death, but a poison that paralyzes the body and continuously gives pain in the meantime.

One of the weaknesses of holy law.

Physical wounds were easy to treat, but the detoxification effect was meager.

“Is there no antidote?”

“Said Stone Snake’s antidote is tricky to manufacture. First requested to the alchemist guild, but said takes at least 3 days.”

Stone Snake’s poison gradually detoxifies after 5 days pass.

However, the pain felt during that period is beyond imagination.

Even if holy law’s detoxification effect is meager, if much divine power like Amelia could forcibly push and treat.

But in Amelia’s judgment there were still quite a few patients who need her holy law inside the clinic.

“U, uuuugh...!”

Want to treat the patient in front of the eyes, but if consuming much divine power here cannot extend the hand of treatment toward other patients.

When Amelia was pondering, Paulen said.

“Saintess, detoxification uses much divine power. First better to see other people.”

“Would be so.”

When Amelia tried to go elsewhere.

“Wa, wait a moment! Wait! Saintess! Please! Please treat! Too... too painful!”

“Ut.”

The voice of the patient appealing pain lying on the bed stopped Amelia’s feet.

The priest who was originally in charge of the patient said to him.

“The alchemist guild is making the medicine so please endure. Don’t worry, not a poison that dies.”

“Uuuugh! But painful! Painful I say!”

The priest looked at the patient making a bitter expression.

“I will cast holy law again. The pain will ease a bit.”

Looking at that appearance Amelia lowered the head.

“If my holy law had detoxification effect...”

It was then.

‘Detoxification?’

The slime that was on Paulen’s shoulder while Amelia was treating recalled two facts as familiar words continued coming out.

One the detoxification skill it has.

Another the skill seen in the shop.

Exactly the Detoxification Liquid Generation skill.

The slime opened the shop and looked at the explanation of Detoxification Liquid Generation.

[Detoxification Liquid Generation: Creates a substance that can detoxify the absorbed poison.]

‘This!’

The slime thought Detoxification Liquid Generation is a skill that can help Amelia right now.

After defeating 2 Lesser Trolls the slime obtained 15 coins per one, total 30 coins.

Therefore the currently possessed coins were 100 coins.

‘Will buy!’

The slime purchased the Detoxification Liquid Generation skill without hesitation.

The usage method could be realized right away the moment purchased.

Poyong!

“Uh, hey!”

The slime landed toward the patient’s calf from Paulen’s shoulder.

“Uuuugh!”

The patient felt strong pain even at the soft slime’s landing because of the poison.

“Th, this slime is?”

“Buduri! No! Come down!”

Amelia flustered and tried to detach the slime.

Then.

Burrurrur!

“Uut!”

The slime trembled budul budul and absorbed the poison along with the blood from the wound with the teeth mark.
