Continuing the treatment of the monsters, one day.
Mrs. Syndulla the Griffon came to where I live, the Old Paradise.
ㅤ
『This is terrible, Kyrie-sama!』
ㅤ
Mrs. Syndulla is one of the Holy Zodiac, under the command of the first Holy Demon King Ellison-sama.
She’s an incredible monster and is in a panic.
ㅤ
What could have happened to cause this?
ㅤ
『Someone has entered the Abyss Forest!』
ㅤ
Mrs. Syndulla rules the sky.
She seems to have a lot of bird-like followers, and can gather information about the forest quickly.
ㅤ
A person. . . . . . So, what about the monster?
ㅤ
『They engaged in battle with hungry Redcaps, and both were seriously injured.』
ㅤ
! That’s. . . . . . unacceptable!
I’m heading there right away!
ㅤ
“Kyrie-sama. Please get on my back!”
ㅤ
In front of me, Mr. Chatura transforms into a large Fenrir.
I ride on his back and rush to the scene.
ㅤ
Through Mr. Tree King’s mouth, into the forest.
We arrived at the scene, led by Mrs. Syndulla. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Gu-gya-gya!” “Go-gya-go!” “Ga-gya-gya!”
ㅤ
The Redcaps.
Little ogre children wearing red hats.
ㅤ
In front of them are injured humans.
Adventurers, perhaps?
ㅤ
They’re holding their arms and bleeding from their foreheads.
“Damn! How strong are the monsters of this forest!”
“Leader, what should we do?!”
“Damn. . . . . . we’ll have to use our secret magical tool. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Stop it!!!!
But that’s right.
Humans can’t hear my voice.
“Stop it, children of men!”
ㅤ
Mr. Chatura transforms into a human.
He turns into a handsome white-haired man with dog ears and a tail.
ㅤ
“! T, There’s a Beast Kin too?!”
ㅤ
The apparent leader says, looking at Mr. Chatura.
Too?
ㅤ
“No, I am the right-hand of the forest’s chief, Kyrie-sama, Fenrir.”
“Fenrir, did you say?!”
ㅤ
He’s surprised.
Well, that’s natural.
ㅤ
It’s a legendary monster, after all.
Next, the leader looks at me.
“Who’s that cute miss over there?”
“She’s the leader of this forest, the Holy Demon Lord Kyrie-sama.”
“Eh, eh?! A human. . . . . . is the leader?!”
ㅤ
Yes, I nod.
The adventurers look incredulous.
ㅤ
I don’t need to prove anything, but I approach the Redcaps.
They seem injured, so I heal them.
ㅤ
“! Hey, she’s healing the monsters!!! Aren’t they the enemies?”
“Fools. Look at that.”
ㅤ
I talk to the Redcaps.
Why did you attack the humans?
ㅤ
『Sorry, we were just hungry』『We were trying to ask to share a meal』『They attacked us, and before we knew it, we were battling』
ㅤ
I see. . . . . .
I understand the situation, but I’m not pleased that you tried to take someone else’s things by attacking them.
ㅤ
The Redcaps hang their heads in shame.
ㅤ
“Human beings, these children were just hungry.”
“Well, that’s no reason to. . . . . . bring out weapons.”
ㅤ
The Redcaps are holding large scissors.
ㅤ
“Isn’t that the same with you?”
ㅤ
The adventurers also have swords and staffs in their hands.
ㅤ
“These children were just hungry. We apologize for attacking.”
ㅤ
I bow my head along with them.
ㅤ
“Well. . . . . . it’s fine.”
ㅤ
I’m glad he’s kind.
I approach him and take his hand.
ㅤ
I’m sorry for the trouble the monsters caused.
I use healing power borrowed from the gods.
ㅤ
Then the leader’s blood stops in an instant. . . . . .
ㅤ
“What?! Miss! What did you just do?!”
ㅤ
What do you mean. . . . . . healing?
ㅤ
“Healing?”
ㅤ
Ah, that. . . . . .?
That’s strange. My voice. . . . . . Can you hear it by any chance?
ㅤ
“Ah, yes. . . . . . What’s going on here? It’s resonating directly in my head.”
ㅤ
. . . . . .That’s strange.
Before, I couldn’t use this telepathy ability against humans.
ㅤ
But now that I can use it. . . . . .
Well, it’s fine.
ㅤ
Redcap folks have caused you trouble, so as an apology, please let me heal everyone.
ㅤ
“Is it really okay? Healing’s pretty costly, isn’t it?”
ㅤ
It’s no trouble.
And I won’t take any payment for it.
ㅤ
The leader is looking at me suspiciously.
Can’t blame him; we just met today.
ㅤ
And besides, I might look like I’m siding with monsters, the enemies of mankind. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Miss. . . . . . You’re not crazy, are you? You recognize that monsters are enemies.”
ㅤ
H, Hey, could you hear me?!
I see. . . . . . It’s telepathy, so my thoughts are leaking.
ㅤ
No, no. . . . . . How embarrassing. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Well, I understand that you’re not a bad person, Miss. Then, without hesitation, could you heal my companions?”
ㅤ
Looking closely, everyone is quite battered.
Did they get injured before arriving at Abyss Forest?
ㅤ
I touch each of them and use the power of God.
ㅤ
“What’s this!” “This is insane!” “What’s happening here!”
ㅤ
The adventurers become lively again.
That’s good. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Miss. . . . . . er, Miss Kyrie. . . . . .”
ㅤ
I am Kyrie.
Sorry for the delay.
ㅤ
“Ah, no. . . . . . I’m Garp.”
ㅤ
The leader seems to be someone called Mr. Garp.
Wait. . . . . .?
Upon closer inspection, his ears are perky.
ㅤ
Could it be. . . . . . a Beast Kin?
ㅤ
“Ah, yes. . . . . . Miss Kyrie, who are you?”
ㅤ
Just a saint.
ㅤ
“No. . . . . . You’re too incredible to be just a saint. Because. . . . . . I just realized, my ears are back.”
ㅤ
Ears. . . . . .?
His animal ears are moving. Lovely.
ㅤ
Wait, what?
They weren’t there when I first saw him. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Long ago, when I was captured as a prisoner in war, they cut off our ears and tails.”
ㅤ
Oh. . . . . . How tragic. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Yeah, but now the ears and tail are back. Not only the wounds, but even the lost parts have returned. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Um. . . . . .
Is there something wrong with that?
ㅤ
“Huh?”
ㅤ
Everyone, including Mr. Garp, is surprised.
What?
ㅤ
It’s the power of God, right?
A mere loss of body parts is easy to heal.
ㅤ
Because God is incredible.
ㅤ
“What. . . . . . What’s with this miss. . . . . . This is insane. . . . . .”
ㅤ
The Beast Kin are surprised.
Indeed, for those who are not believers in God, this miracle must seem extraordinary.
ㅤ
“Oops, sorry. I forgot to thank you. Thank you, Miss. Not only for healing our wounds but also for restoring our lost pride.”
ㅤ
Mr. Garp and the adventurers shed tears.
Oh, don’t be so dramatic. . . . . . I just fixed some severed ears and tails.
ㅤ
Besides, I’m sorry too.
The Redcaps caused trouble.
ㅤ
“No, we were wrong not to listen to you. How about we share a meal together?”
ㅤ
Looking closely, Mr. Garp and the others have made a large pot.
It’s filled with delicious-looking soup.
ㅤ
Is it really okay?
ㅤ
“Yes. It’s an apology for causing trouble. Can you tell them that?”
ㅤ
Thank you.
I go to the Redcaps.
ㅤ
These people are treating us to a meal.
『Really?!』『Thank you!』
ㅤ
I go with the Redcaps to the adventurers.
At first, they were cautious, but they quickly smiled.
ㅤ
“Sorry about earlier. When you’re hungry, anyone can be on edge.”
ㅤ
I translate and relay those words to the Redcaps.
ㅤ
『We were also wrong. We gratefully accept your hospitality.』
ㅤ
After that, we all gather around the pot and eat.
Humans and monsters, understanding each other like this. . . . . .
ㅤ
Yes, because we all have the same heart.
If many people would think monsters are not something to fear, I would be happy.
ㅤ
“It’s amazing to find a human who thinks like this, Miss. You’re truly incredible.”
ㅤ
My thoughts leaked out again!
No. . . . . . How embarrassing. . . . . .
ㅤ
“We must. . . . . . report this to the 【Queen】.”
ㅤ
The queen?
