Chapter 19: Backyard Chatter

In the Bright Church of Green River City, several injured guests lived.

The members of the four Iris Adventure Groups, almost all of them were injured, and almost all of them were seriously injured except for the mage girl Maggie, Talia was severely wounded to her chest and lungs, Amy was hit hard in the abdomen, and the auxiliary mage Olifi, who had been trapped in the Purple Mist Desert Village for a day and a night, and was possessed by a terrifying demon, were all quite serious injuries.

These serious injuries need to be dealt with by Sheena, the Priest of Light, and it is best for them to stay in the Church of Light for the time being. Although the church in Green River City is down, there is still no shortage of rooms in the backyard, and it is common for injured and sick guests to stay while the old priest is still there. The old priest Roy also doesn't forget to clean on weekdays, so those rooms can be used immediately.

It's a pity that Sheena is also unconscious at this time, the situation is uncertain, and she doesn't know when she will wake up again.

In short, this rather tossy adventure finally came to a good end, and the first commission that Green River City Church received was barely successfully completed.

After returning to the church, Maggie immediately took out the one hundred and fifty gold coins she had mentioned before and handed them to the old priest Roy for the honorarium, but after seeing Sheena return from a coma, the old priest Roy couldn't be happy even if he accepted such a huge amount of money.

"Your Excellency An Ling, is there really nothing wrong with Sheena-sama?"

In the backyard of the church, the old priest asked An Ling with a bitter face, and the wrinkles on his face were all wrinkled together.

An Ling shook his head, smiled at him and said:

"It's okay, it's just that I'm using too much magic, I'm passing out for a while and, just get some sleep, trust me."

An Ling said this, and the bitter expression on Roy's face relaxed, and said:

"I'm relieved to have you say that, now that there are guests staying in the church, and the priest is like this, is there anything I need to do?"

"Ah, no, they are all adventurers, they can take care of themselves, you can cook more than a few people's portions when you usually cook, and try to be as generous as possible in the ingredients. After all, they were all wounded. ”

"Okay, I got it."

Roy made a blessing to An Ling and turned to leave.

With a creak, the wooden door of the room behind An Ling opened, and Maggie walked out slowly.

"Why did you lie to him, Sheena's sacrifice is not so simple..."

Although all the members returned safely, there was not much joy on the face of the mage girl, only a faint sense of loss.

An Ling twisted his nose and said:

"Otherwise, what else can you say, he's just an ordinary old man. Do I have to tell him that the priest might wake up and become a fool? ”

Maggie bit her lower lip, and her face became even darker.

"I didn't expect this to be the result... If something really happened to Sheena after she woke up, I would be guilty for the rest of my life. ”

"Ha~ There's no need to say such things, maybe Sheena will be okay when she wakes up?"

An Ling yawned and said:

"Why did you come out, don't spend more time with your teammates, and don't take a break by yourself, I remember you were injured too, right?"

Maggie blinked, walked to An Ling with her arms crossed, looked at the sky with pink crystal eyes, and said leisurely:

"My injuries are nothing compared to theirs, and nothing compared to the Sheena sacrifice. And with so much going on, how could I possibly rest as much as I could. ”

An Ling nodded and said:

"Oh~ In this case, it's good to come out and breathe fresh air, I won't bother, you can be quiet alone."

After speaking, An Ling got up to leave.

"Wait a minute, that's not what I meant."

Maggie stopped An Ling.

An Ling turned around and looked at Maggie quietly.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into an awkward and strange atmosphere.

After a while, a trace of embarrassment flashed on the blue-haired girl's face, and she coughed and said:

"Ahem, An, Anling, you're not actually the guard of this church, are you?"

An Ling blinked and asked:

"Huh? Why? ”

Maggie replied:

"Although you are using the magic of light flame, in many details, you don't give me the feeling of being a church guard. And Sheena Sacrifice has a very respectful attitude towards you. ”

There is another sentence that Maggie didn't say, that is, An Ling is such a young silver magician, and he is a talented genius boy in his hand, and it is impossible to be a little guard of a down-and-out church.

An Ling smiled and admitted calmly:

"I'm actually an adventurer like you, but I met Sheena by chance, and I happened to have trouble with this church, so I stayed for a few days to help."

"Actually, it's a church guard, but I haven't been doing it for a few days."

"That's right..."

Xina nodded suddenly, then her face turned grim, and she stretched out her hand to An Ling and made a salute, and said:

"An Ling, I didn't have a chance before, I am here to formally express my gratitude and apologies to you, thank you for coming to the rescue at the most critical time, if it weren't for you, everyone in our Iris Adventure Group would be in danger."

"I'm also sorry, but in a hurry, we conveyed the wrong information to you, telling you that we just need to break through the purple mist. Say...... We are able to ensure the safety of the festival. ”

"Haha~"

An Ling laughed and said:

"Actually, it doesn't make sense for you to tell me these words, I'm just a little guard, you should tell Sheena these words."

Maggie shook her head and said with some stubbornness:

"I'll apologize again when Sheena wakes up."

"Okay."

An Ling narrowed his eyes, and suddenly asked again:

"Tell me these words, and your heart will feel better, right?"

Maggie was stunned and lowered her head slowly.

"Yes..."

She didn't understand why she had been talking to a teenager she had just met for so long. But it is true that as An Ling said, if you say something to him, you will feel good or bad.

And it can only be An Ling, and it is inappropriate to talk to other people now.

"Ha~ Let's relax more when chatting."

An Ling smiled again and said softly:

"Can you tell me about your Iris Adventure Party? I'm a little curious about you, all of you have the strength of more than silver, and you are all such young and beautiful ladies, which is rare. ”

Looking at the young man's kind and good-looking smile, Maggie was a little surprised, it was obvious that so many bad things had happened, and it was clear that their iris adventure group had so many places to be sorry for him. Why can this person still smile so indifferently and so innocently.

As if he didn't care about anything.

"Don't you think we're annoying? We have given you the wrong information on the mission and put you at undeserved risk. And Talia used to treat you with such a fierce attitude, aren't you not bitter at all? ”

Maggie wondered.

An Ling tilted his head, a little unsure of how to answer Maggie.

Disgust, this kind of mental emotion is the missing humanity in his soul, and it is difficult for him to feel this way for the time being. But there must be such things that cannot be said directly.

After thinking for a while, An Ling could only smile perfunctorily and say:

"Haha, you're all very beautiful girls, pretty girls don't want to be annoying in anything, right?"

Maggie was stunned, completely unaware of what kind of answer it was.
