Your Name (5)

Nellin received High Priest David’s guidance together with Godric’s group, and arrived at Fresia’s room.

-Knock knock knock.

“Saintess Fresia, it’s David.”

Knocking on the door a short while later, Fresia opened the door and revealed her appearance.

“High Priest David? What is the matter... huh?”

Fresia saw Nellin standing behind David and couldn’t continue her words.

Instead of Fresia who couldn’t speak Nellin smiled and raised her hand.

“Fresia, long time no see. Even aged being pretty is the same.”

“Nellin...!”

Reunion with a companion met after a long time.

Hug!

The joy of reunion made even the calm and elegant healing Saintess Fresia hug as soon as meeting.

“Long time no see. Really happy to meet.”

Snickering Nellin hugged Fresia and stroked her back.

“What, became more spoiled than before? Were lonely?”

“You really don’t change. Just as I remember.”

“Just the spoiling increased a bit. You’re the same too?”

“I said I aged.”

“The important thing is the essence, essence. Moreover someone of your level aged really prettily? Do the surrounding old people hit on you or not?”

High Priest David who was quietly listening to the conversation shouted.

“Nellin-nim! What kind of words are those to the Saintess!”

“Ah, well. There’s the saying humans are still youth even if aged.”

“Huhu, Nellin is really the same. First come in. The people who came together too.”

At Fresia’s words Godric answered first in a tense voice.

“Yes, yep!”

“That is the legendary hero healing Saintess... the benevolent atmosphere is no joke.”

“Wow, I, I seeing the Saintess for the first time!”

“Me too. Even a hero Marin. No, completely different from Nellin-nim.”

“Sgol, you want a knuckle too?”

“No!”

“Haa, I’ll withdraw now.”

“Yes, thank you.”

High Priest David withdrew and Nellin and Godric’s group entered Fresia’s room.

“Th, the room is really pretty.”

“Hyung! There’s a sofa in the room too!”

“This is also Saintess class, huhu.”

“Don’t make a fuss in front of the Saintess.”

“If continuing to stand you’ll be tired, please sit.”

At Fresia’s words Godric’s group all sat on the sofa at once.

And Fresia sat on the sofa opposite and Nellin sat beside her.

Nellin looked around the room and asked Fresia.

“You said you don’t like too flashy things?”

“I declined, but since there is status as Saintess the surroundings said this much has to be done so there was no choice. Still I think this sofa was brought in well.”

Fresia gently stroked the sofa she sat on and said.

“Because good for listening to the worries of brothers and sisters who come for counseling occasionally. Comfortable when welcoming guests like now too.”

“It is comfortable to sit.”

“So Nellin. Why did you stop by the great church? Will you introduce the people who came together too?”

“Ah. That is.”

Nellin explained about Godric’s party, and briefly explained the journey until now.

The meeting with the slime in the blue elf forest.

The matter of unavoidably releasing because of the elder’s nagging.

The matter of reading the Rudendion count’s letter and leaving the blue elf forest for confirmation.

The matter of conversing with the count’s young lady who was closest to the slime, and that slime being similar to the slime she saw.

Somehow feeling ominous and coming out of the forest looking around the world, and incidentally trying to find the slime.

Then the matter of meeting Godric’s party who met the smart slime and parted because of an accident.

“At that time the feeling came exactly. Even if a bit different from what I knew the slime that was going around with these guys is that slime. So I was training these guys while also looking for the slime. Heard the lich rumor and came here. Finding the slime is also important but if a friend seems in danger how can I stay still? Right?”

“...”

Fresia who continued listening to Nellin’s explanation was looking at Godric’s group with an expression of amazement.

Meanwhile Godric’s group blinked and looked toward Nellin.

“...Nellin-nim.”

“Huh? Why?”

“T, Tongtong was at the Rudendion count mansion? Wasn’t it just meeting us after meeting Nellin-nim?”

“Huh? Didn’t I say?”

“Never said a single word!”

“Hoo, Tongtong guy. Was a slime that ate noble water! Somehow was strong.”

“Noble water and being strong have no relation right. Huh? Wait. Come to think of it when nim occasionally called Tongtong there were times of trailing off saying Al... Don’t tell me was trying to call the name given at that count family and stopped?”

‘Sgol, this guy why sharp unlike usual?’

“Ah~ there was such a time too. Sorry. Was going to say but forgot. Hahahaha!”

“Nellin-nim...”

“Th, there Marin, a, no! Nellin-nim!”

“Call as comfortable. Nellin or Marin~. What, Dep?”

“What was Tongtong’s name when at that count mansion?”

“Ah, that. Alexandros the 2nd.”

“Alexandros... the 2nd?”

“Keuk! A cool name. For Tongtong!”

“What are you getting angry about, idiot! But why the 2nd? Is there the 1st too?”

“T, Tongtong’s name is cuter!”

“Dep, what are you burning competitive spirit for?”

“Ah, I also asked because curious but since small and cute the 2nd.”

“Can’t understand noble sensibility.”

When Nellin and Godric’s group were exchanging banter.

Fresia called Godric.

“Godric.”

“Yes, yep! Saintess.”

“There’s one thing I want to ask.”

“Please ask anything!”

Toward the tensed Godric Fresia smiled benevolently.

“Please don’t tense that much. Perhaps I might know where the slime Nellin and you all are looking for is.”

“I, is that true?”

“What? Fresia you also know Tongtong?”

“To confirm that there’s something I want to ask. Godric, would you tell how you parted with that slime?”

“Yes. That is how it happened...”

Godric explained the opportunity of suddenly parting with the slime,

the matter of the lesser troll extermination request time.

Fresia who heard all of Godric’s explanation nodded as if convinced.

“As expected my prediction seems correct. I have seen the slime Nellin and you all met.”

“Is that true?”

“What? Really?”

“Yes. Actually...”

This time Fresia told Nellin and Godric’s group the story of the next Saintess Amelia and Paladin Paulen meeting the slime.

And what name was given to that slime and how it stayed at this church.

“The next Saintess and Paladin picked up Tongtong.”

“What! Then if just headed to the Holy City then would have found Tongtong right away!”

“This is the trick of fate.”

“B, was called Budul. I think that name is also cute.”

“No, but what is sparring with the Paladin? And what? Exercise...?”

“What, was here? Then now together with those four successors?”

“No. Unfortunately Budul is no longer at the great church...Because the lich took it.”

“What? Why does the lich suddenly come out?”

It was then.

Knock knock knock.

Someone knocked on the room’s door.

“Saintess Fresia. It’s Gracie.”

“Aah, the person who will tell in detail came just in time. Come in, Gracie.”

At Fresia’s permission Gracie entered the room and saw Nellin and Godric’s group.

“Who are these people?”

“I’ll introduce, Gracie. This person is my friend Nellin. These are Nellin’s companions Godric, Hawein, Sgol, Dep.”

“Saintess Fresia’s friend and Nellin don’t tell me! S, starlight shooter!”

“Right.”

Gracie flustered yet greeted Nellin and started self-introduction.

“M, honored to meet! I am the descendant of the proud Heavenly Law mage Ventus Frail! Called Gracie Frail!”

“Oh, really? But descendant? Did that guy marry?”

“Ah. That is. Strictly speaking I am the granddaughter of his cousin older sister.”

“Aha. Well, same bloodline so descendant is descendant.”

“Gracie, please explain to these people about that incident that happened at the Magic Tower.”

“...!”

Suddenly the legendary hero one of them starlight shooter Nellin and her companions are in this room.

And asking herself to explain that day’s matter.

In this situation Gracie naturally understood that Nellin heard the lich’s news and came to help.

“Yes!”

Gracie retraced the memory again and explained the matter that happened that day to Nellin and Godric’s group.

“And the lich disappeared again taking the slime.”

“T, Tongtong was really kidnapped by the lich!”

“Tongtong?”

“Even captured the lich’s heart...”

“Stop the stupid words! Then where do we have to go find! The lich’s den?”

“Nellin-nim, this situation is more serious than thought?”

“That’s right. Hmm, but for a lich the actions are quiet. Thought it would be extremely dangerous. The thing done at most is only yanking out the Magic Tower Lord’s beard.”

“Yes, I also found it amazing that it ends like that. But the terrifying aura the lich was emitting felt real. But earlier the slime..., you called Budul Tongtong.”

“Gracie, these people are the people who were together before Amelia met Budul.”

“Yes!? Is that true?”

“Yes. If okay would you guide these four to Amelia? I have things to talk about with Nellin the two of us.”

“A, understood! Everyone please follow.”

“There, even if we meet the next Saintess...”

“Would you exchange stories about how you got along with the slime? Recently Amelia is blaming herself for not being able to protect the slime from the lich. Please become that child’s conversation partner.”

At Fresia’s request the first to answer was Dep.

“Yes! I, I was also extremely sad when suddenly parting with Tongtong! I know that feeling!”

“Well, the heart of blaming oneself can be understood.”

“One with the same pain...”

“Don’t know if talking will make it better.”

Not only Dep but Godric, Hawein, Sgol also could understand the heart of blaming themselves for the sudden parting with the slime.

After Godric’s group followed Gracie and left the room, Fresia got up from the place.

“Nellin. Really thank you for coming now. Alone I couldn’t grasp what to do.”

“What’s the good of being friends. But couldn’t grasp. Is the lich that strong? If really anxious shall I call Cachal too?”

“It’s not that kind of anxiety. And the ore village is in the southern region so even if requesting it would take a long time for Cachal to arrive.”

“If that guy he would snort once saying unnecessary consideration and come.”

“Huhu, I also think it would be like that.”

Fresia who got up from the place approached the drawer and took out the lich montage and returned to the sofa.

“Nellin, is there something that comes to mind looking at this?”

“What is this?”

Nellin received the montage and looked carefully.

“Skeleton? Is this that lich by any chance? What. In its own way as a li~ch wearing an ornament on the head? Haha! Still wanted to pose saying became a monster from a mage... what. Seems I’ve seen this?”

In the middle of laughing the past memory floated and Nellin continued looking at the montage expressionlessly with a hardened expression.

A short while later.

Nellin put down the montage and looked at Fresia.

“Hey, Fresia. This... what is it?”

Like seeing something unbelievable Nellin’s pupils were trembling.
