ㅤ
I, Kyrie・Inori.
I fell into the trap of the crown prince and was thrown into Abyss Forest, but there, I met and interacted with monsters.
ㅤ
I met Mr. Chatura, the leader of them, the Fenrir.
I successfully healed him with the help of God’s power when he was on the brink of death due to old age.
ㅤ
. . . . . .I thought I only healed the illness, but I turned him back into his youthful form.
“The Holy Demon King-sama is indeed wonderful.”
ㅤ
In front of me, there stands a handsome man with white hair.
This person is Mr. Chatura, the forest leader.
ㅤ
He has dog ears and a tail, and it suggests that he is a transformation of Fenrir.
. . . . . .But even if you call me the holy Demon King.
ㅤ
“Can’t you lead us, Kyrie-sama?”
ㅤ
. . . . . .Such a thing, suddenly said, I can’t just agree.
I was just thrown into the forest.
ㅤ
From there, I started hearing the voices of the monsters, met the forest leader, healed him, and was told that I was the reincarnation of the Holy Demon King, and so on.
So many things happened so quickly, and I’m honestly confused.
ㅤ
Even if I’m told to become the Holy Demon King and rule over the monsters.
“T, That’s right. I’m sorry. you need time to think.”
ㅤ
Since I was young, I’ve been unable to speak due to the shock of an incident.
I struggled for a long time with how to communicate with people.
ㅤ
But now, with monsters, I can communicate heart-to-heart.
My thoughts are conveyed directly.
ㅤ
“! Such. . . . . .painful things you’ve endured.”
ㅤ
Suddenly Mr. Chatura starts to cry.
W, What’s wrong?
ㅤ
“That you lost your parents as a child and lost your voice. . . . . .How pitiful!”
ㅤ
Ah, I see, my remembered past was conveyed.
It’s a bit embarrassing that my thoughts are so transparent.
ㅤ
“You’ve overcome a painful past and are now admirably performing your duties as a saint on your own. It’s wonderful.”
ㅤ
Thank you, but I’m fine.
It’s all in the past now, and I’ve overcome it.
ㅤ
“You’re so strong. . . . . .I definitely want you to become our forest leader. . . . . .But as you say, you need time to accept it.”
ㅤ
It seems he understands.
Thank you.
ㅤ
Ah, right.
There was one thing I wanted to ask Mr. Chatura.
ㅤ
“What is it, Kyrie-sama?”
ㅤ
You were quite old just a moment ago.
But now you look youthful, and life is overflowing from your body.
ㅤ
Why is that?
ㅤ
“It’s your power, Kyrie-sama.”
ㅤ
But I didn’t have that much power.
I can heal wounds, ward off evil, break barriers.
But I certainly can’t make an aged person youthful.
ㅤ
“Hmm. . . . . .Perhaps it has something to do with the sacred relic. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Sacred relic?
Mr. Chatura turns and walks away.
ㅤ
Here is a mysterious space extending beneath the church.
Mr. Chatura places his hand on the floor where he was sitting.
As a result a magical circle shines, a blue orb appears in the air.
Mr. Chatura stands up and reaches out, and a beautiful ring appears.
ㅤ
“This is a sacred relic, the 【Water Ring】, owned by the Holy Demon King-sama, Ellison-sama.”
ㅤ
The Water Ring. . . . . .
Mr. Chatura comes closer and offers the ring resting on his palm to me.
ㅤ
“Please, accept this.”
ㅤ
! No, I can’t.
It’s the possession of the deceased.
ㅤ
I can’t take it!
ㅤ
“Truly, you have a pure heart, how wonderful, Kyrie-sama.”
ㅤ
It’s not that I’m especially pure-hearted, I just think it’s common sense.
ㅤ
“People are greedy creatures. To obtain what they desire, they will readily destroy and take others’ belongings.”
ㅤ
Mr. Chatura frowns.
I wonder if something traumatic happened to him.
ㅤ
Or perhaps, he was mistreated by people in the past.
ㅤ
“But you are different. Unlike other humans, you are rational and have a beautiful heart.”
ㅤ
It’s very complex.
“The Water Ring is owned by the Holy Demon King-sama. She said that if a suitable person appears, entrust it to them.”
ㅤ
A suitable person?
ㅤ
“This ring is enchanted so that only the chosen one can pick it up.”
ㅤ
It’s like a hero’s sword.
Not just anyone can use it.
ㅤ
“In my estimation, Kyrie-sama is the suitable person. With the power of the water ring, you could perform miracles like before.”
ㅤ
You mean you can exhibit a strong healing power that can even save people on the brink of death?
. . . . . .After all, the power of healing is something bestowed by God.
ㅤ
I was immature and couldn’t fully harness it.
But with this ring, I might be able to help many troubled people. . . . . .and even monsters.
ㅤ
I want to be able to use it.
I picked up the ring.
ㅤ
. . . . . .Just when I thought I could easily grab it in my hand.
Suddenly, a blue light spread around with a snap.
ㅤ
A blue, dazzling, pure light fills this space.
Eventually, the light settles down. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Oh! This is amazing! Look, Kyrie-sama! The Holy Demon King-sama’s garden is back to normal!”
ㅤ
The garden we were in was filled with withered flowers.
But now, beautiful flowers and greenery are spreading.
ㅤ
Pure air was drifting.
ㅤ
“Kyrie-sama, let’s go outside. I’m sure something incredible has happened out there.”
ㅤ
Outside?
I exit the space with Mr. Chatura.
ㅤ
We returned to the chapel, but. . . . . .
Can you believe it? The broken building is back to its original form.
ㅤ
The broken ceiling is restored, the spider-webbed room is sparkling.
Not a speck of dust, it had become a beautiful chapel.
ㅤ
“Wonderful. . . . . .! Healing enhanced, the power of repair!”
ㅤ
Repair. . . . . .I see, my power could only heal injured people.
But now that it’s strengthened, I can heal inorganic things too.
ㅤ
『Kyrie! Are you okay?!』
『Big Sister!』
ㅤ
Outside, I hear the voices of Kumakichi-kun and Mrs. Kumako.
As I leave the chapel, the two of them try to pounce on me.
ㅤ
Dangerous!
The moment I thought that, Mr. Chatura stood in front of me and caught them both with his hands.
ㅤ
“Hold back, you dead bears. If you jump with those massive bodies, Kyrie-sama will get hurt.”
『『Yes, you’re right! Sorry!』』
ㅤ
N, No.
Don’t worry about it.
ㅤ
Rather, Mr. Chatura, you’re strong.
Kumakichi-kun and the others are very big, but. . . . . .
ㅤ
“I’m honored by your praise. Including physical enhancement, I can use a bit of magic.”
ㅤ
I see, you’re strengthening your arm strength with magic.
He puts Kumakichi-kun and the others on the ground.
ㅤ
『Kyrie, who’s this beast person?』
ㅤ
Oh, this person is Mr. Chatura, the leader of the forest.
ㅤ
『What?! I heard from the Tree King that the forest leader was old?』
“With Kyrie-sama’s power, I have rejuvenated and regained my strength.”
『Wow! That’s amazing! I knew Kyrie was no ordinary person!』『Big Sister is awesome!』
ㅤ
No, this is not my power.
It’s the Heavenly God who is lending me strength.
ㅤ
We should be grateful to our Lord in heaven, Noir-sama.
ㅤ
『Is that so? No matter how I look at it, I think Kyrie is amazing though.』
“I agree, but if Kyrie-sama says so, it must be true. Well, Kyrie-sama is the one who’s pulling it off, so I think she’s amazing too.”
ㅤ
That’s right, Mrs. Kumako says as if she remembers.
ㅤ
『Kyrie. This ruined church turned into a beautiful building in an instant. What happened?』
ㅤ
Ah, Mrs. Kumako and the others outside must have seen the change.
With the boosted power of healing through the ring of water, the building was repaired.
ㅤ
『Wow! That’s really amazing. Fixing even a building!』
ㅤ
However, it’s not strange that God can do something like this.
Truly, God is a wonderful being.
ㅤ
I’m very grateful for this extraordinary power that has been bestowed upon me.
ㅤ
『Mom, humans are strange. No matter how you look at it, it was Big Sister who did it, yet she’s unaware of it.』
