Huge Holy 59

59 - Did you think that you would be appreciated for doing the right thing?

RAW

For the time being, the whole riverbank area is closed off by Meisei's barrier.
Everyone retreated to the guild.
Kichou seems to have awakened before being taken to the hospital, and the kijins cheered at that.

“Ojou has! Ojou has woken up!!”

“Ooo! Thank goodness!!”

As if nothing had happened, Kicho apologized, saying, “Everyone, I'm sorry for worrying you.”
Even if she was a selfish ojou-sama, as expected, she doesn't seem to have such a terrible personality.
And, everyone who retreated to the guild has many different atmospheres.

“As expected of Meisei-dono! A splendid barrier that can't be broken by beasts... As expected of an Onmyouji serving Nonaga-sama!”

All the kijins were praising Meisei.
I only secretly gave Kichou some medicine and evacuated from the riverbank. And I only defeated the sea demon by remotely controlling the wand flower.
It wasn’t a flashy action, so it didn't reach anyone's eyes.

Meisei was the only one who seemed to understand what I did and said, “Thank you for saving Kichou-sama,” bowing his head in the shadows.
“I only did the obvious thing...” I said before quickly leaving.
More than that, I heard an angry voice on the other side of the kijins, and I had a bad feeling when I realized that the owner of that voice was Heinz.

“You've been drinking since the middle of the day, so you couldn't handle the monster's attack!? You've got to be kidding me!”

The one Heinz is shouting at are the adventurers who were with the kijins.
Or rather, it was Christoph.
Even Christoph himself can't hide the fact that he drank alcohol, but he seems to be remorseful, and I can see Sedoor beside him looking confused.

Heinz, dripping with sweat, having just left from working in the fields, glares at the adventurers, including Christoph.

"Unlike a farmer like me, you guys have excellent combat skills――did you bastards become adventurers just because you have a job suitable for it!!”

“Heinz!... There are various circumstances in this case...”

“I don't want to hear any excuses! If you're a swordsman, you should act like a swordsman!! Even though you’re supposed to be a Job Adherent...! Just because I'm a fire-element farmer, I get special treatment!! So what if you don’t know my situation!? Then, what did you think of me before you found out about my situation!!”

“Calm down! Please calm yourself down Heinz!! I...”

“Enough already! You bastards will infect me with your stupidity!!”

Heinz was about to walk away in desperation, but suddenly my eyes met.
He approaches me and asks me, “I want to do special training...” in a low tone as if he were a different person.
I understand the situation somehow from the previous exchange, so I offer a suggestion.

“After this, we’re planning to do a light D-rank dungeon investigation in two locations... Will Hankstein-sama accompany us?”

“...I'll prepare, so wait for me.”

Heinz pushed his way through the crowd and headed to the lodging room to pick up his luggage.
“Umm,” said Sedor apologetically.

“Heinz-kun is...”

“Hankstein-sama is probably… still not satisfied with his Job. I see many such people myself.”

One of the things that happens in isekai. Having a Job you don't want.
Even though he has the special characteristic of being a rare fire-element farmer, in the end, he is still a farmer.
According to my research, the head of Heinz’s house has generally been a [Swordsman] for generations. If he's a farmer without the special fire element, just like Sedoor he will...

Even if that wasn't the case, Heinz himself might have wanted to be a Swordsman, not a Farmer.
It has been so for generations.
Only he was different. Just being a farmer changes the way people react to him. He was sick of everything.

“I thought many times that I should be a healer, not a magician.”

I say this sarcastically.
In fact, I used to have a long-cherished desire to be a healer if I have a light element.
However, I managed to obtain an ideal wand, and was able to spend more time on my hobby of researching familiar spirit technique formulas. I am not dissatisfied with my current situation.

Hearing my words, Christoph guessed, “That's,” and hung his head.
It seems he also knew about the family lineage of Count Hankstein.

Even so, in the riverbank.
To think, there's an underwater dungeon there, if it's a sea demon class...  at least a B-rank, maybe an A-rank dungeon?
As expected, that’s too much... having an A rank dungeon in the vicinity of such a small country.
The only ones who can handle it are Midia, and me as a support, even then it’d be barely.
With the level of the adventurers here, they can’t deal with it...

The receptionist seems to have requested the investigation of the site to E Kingdom, so it depends on the results.
