ㅤ
I, Kyrie, was on my way back from the Beast Kin country to the Abyss Forest.
In the royal capital, I had just received an apple from a merchant who had been running a street stall as a kindness.
ㅤ
Thank you very much.
ㅤ
“It’s fine. After all, you cured Her Majesty the Queen.”
ㅤ
Ah, but I’ve received so much, I feel guilty. . . . . .
That’s it, Mr. Merchant, let me pray for you.
ㅤ
“A prayer?”
ㅤ
Yes. May this person receive. . . . . .the blessings of God. . . . . .
It was at that moment.
ㅤ
“W, What the?! What is this?!”
ㅤ
Suddenly, the merchant cried out.
What’s the matter?
ㅤ
“My eyes. . . . . .my eyes!”
ㅤ
Eyes?
Indeed, the color of your eyes is different from before.
ㅤ
What happened?
Well, in this case, an appraisal.
ㅤ
■Jade Appraisal Eye (A)
→One of the superior appraisal eyes. It can appraise information about objects considerably.
ㅤ
! It seems that the merchant’s eyes have become appraisal eyes.
ㅤ
“What?! No way! That’s a rare skill that one in 10 million people have! Why did my eyes become like this?! I’ve never had it before!”
ㅤ
Then, Princess Minuet, who was accompanying me, said with a serious expression.
ㅤ
“Could it be. . . . . .due to Kyrie-sama’s power?”
“My Lady’s?! What do you mean, Princess?”
“There is a legend that the ancient Holy Demon King bestowed power upon his monsters. Kyrie-sama is also a Holy Demon King. Perhaps the same power has been applied?”
“I see! Thank you! My La. . . . . .no, Kyrie-sama!”
ㅤ
The merchant bowed his head repeatedly.
But I can’t believe I bestowed it.
ㅤ
Surely. . . . . .because of the merchant’s good deeds, God has bestowed his blessings.
“No! It must be thanks to Kyrie-sama! At least that’s what I think! It’s thanks to you praying for me! Thank you!”
ㅤ
Well, if he says so, I won’t deny it.
“From now on, I will pray to God too!”
ㅤ
That would be good.
It’s joyful that the number of people believing in God is increasing.
ㅤ
After receiving the apple, I was about to leave the place.
ㅤ
“Excuse me! Saint-sama!”
ㅤ
A woman who looked like a mother was approaching me.
What can I do for you?
ㅤ
“Actually, my newborn son seems to be born blind. Could you please pray for him?”
ㅤ
In the arms of the mother, the baby was staring blankly into space.
How pitiful.
ㅤ
I understand, I will pray to God for you.
I gently touched the baby’s forehead.
ㅤ
May this child receive the blessings of God.
Then it happened.
ㅤ
“Thank you, saint-sama.”
“Eh, whaaat?! My son just spoke?!”
ㅤ
The baby in her arms looked at me and said those words clearly.
Can you see now?
ㅤ
“Yes, thanks to saint-sama, I can see clearly now. I believe your prayer has brought a miracle. Thank you.”
“The baby is talking so much?! What?! What’s going on?!”
“Mother, as one blessed by Kyrie-sama, I shall endeavor in my studies to become a worthy individual.”
“He’s even using difficult words?!”
ㅤ
I’m glad your eyes are working now.
Please live happily with your mother.
ㅤ
I bowed to the mother and child and left the place.
ㅤ
“That’s amazing, Kyrie-sama!”
ㅤ
What is it, Miss Minuet?
ㅤ
“Thanks to Kyrie-sama, the baby not only spoke but also became intelligent! It’s incredible!”
ㅤ
What are you saying?
I’m just praying that God’s blessings be upon us.
ㅤ
It’s because God bestowed grace that that child could see, that child could speak.
The cleverness is simply inherent to that child from the beginning.
ㅤ
I haven’t done anything.
I just prayed, that’s all.
ㅤ
“No! It’s definitely thanks to Kyrie-sama! Saint-sama is really amazing!”
ㅤ
Were the townspeople watching the parent and child?
Dodo dodo! A lot of people came to me.
ㅤ
“Please pray for me, saint-sama!” “Please pray for me too!” “Pray for me over here too!”
ㅤ
Many of the town’s people are seeking God’s salvation.
There are so many lost people. . . . . .That’s fine.
ㅤ
I, as a saint, will pray!
May God’s grace be upon this country and all of you!
ㅤ
That’s when it happened.
ㅤ
“Look, look! There’s a light in the sky!” “A rainbow!” “It’s the first time I’ve seen such a big rainbow in the sky!!!!”
ㅤ
It seems that God has decided to bless the people of this country.
It must be because all of you have been doing good deeds.
ㅤ
“Wow! My broken arm is healed?!” “I feel like I’ve learned a lot of magic!” “Whoa! My legs! I can run super fast now!”
ㅤ
I can hear everyone’s joyful voices here and there.
Everyone must be thanking God.
“Thank you, Saint Kyrie-sama!”
ㅤ
Huh? Why are they thanking me. . . . . .?
Even though it’s God who bestowed grace. . . . . .
ㅤ
Many people bow their heads, shake hands, and repeatedly lower their heads in respect.
I don’t want to be thanked. . . . . .It’s troubling.
ㅤ
Princess Minuet, nodding many times, tears in her eyes.
ㅤ
“I will never forget what I saw today. Not only did you save my mother, but you also made the country and the people happy. . . . . .! I will remember it forever, with gratitude!”
ㅤ
That’s good.
Please don’t forget that it was God who helped you and made you happy.
ㅤ
“Eh?”
ㅤ
Eh?
ㅤ
“Yes! I understand. I’ll add that saint-sama is a very humble person!”
ㅤ
Huh?
Humble? Me. . . . . .?
ㅤ
Somehow, the conversation doesn’t seem to match, but. . . . . .
And, it was at that moment.
ㅤ
“Kyrie-samaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
ㅤ
A white-haired Beast Kin, with tremendous momentum, is running towards me.
That’s Mr. Chatura!
ㅤ
“Kyrie-sama! It’s a great relief to see you safe!”
ㅤ
Woo, Mr. Chatura is crying.
What an exaggeration.
ㅤ
“Kyrie, I’m glad nothing happened.”
ㅤ
Oh? Mrs. Kumako.
What’s with that appearance?
ㅤ
“Eh, Ky, Kyrie? How do you know I’m Kumako?”
ㅤ
? Of course, I know, right? By the way you talk and the atmosphere.
ㅤ
“Haa. . . . . .Somehow, I knew it. People who become saints have a different sensibility. Impressive.”
ㅤ
Did I do something impressive?
Well, anyway, thank you both for coming to pick me up.
ㅤ
“Let’s go home!”
ㅤ
Yes.
I turned around and bowed to the people of the Beast Kin country.
ㅤ
Thank you for taking care of me.
ㅤ
“””Thank you very much!!!!”””
ㅤ
So, even though many things happened, I left the land of the Beast Kin.
I wonder if people in this world don’t believe in God?
I mean it’s much easier and makes more sense to contribute her skills to God yet everyone just assumes it’s really her skills and she’s just being humble.
