The Character I Created Is Obsessed With Me

72 – What Pious Believers Wish(4)

“The goddess is watching over you.”

Unlike his calm tone, there was a subtle tremor in his voice.

The fear-hardened eyes moved wildly.

Five men. Most of them had good appearance.

The scene with such people surrounding the little girl did not look good.

“So, from now on, don’t do anything like that in the market.”

“I just tell people… “

“All the customers are running away because of you. He said he had a business today. How will you take responsibility?”

Celica’s body shrank at her partner’s nervous attitude.

Even if he tried to avoid his gaze with troubled eyes, the situation did not change.

As expected, they were merchants running a store.

She didn’t like Celica’s missionary work, so she was pushing her to retaliate.

Of course, I couldn’t just pass by.

“Stop it.”

Serica is a colleague who will be with me in the future. She was in trouble if anything strange happened.

“What are you? Where did you come from… ?!”

As expected, the harsh reaction returned. Before we could get into a fight, I quickly drew my sword and released my magic.

With the sound of ice cracking, white smoke spread from the blade.

At the same time, Erina also drew her longsword.

The thugs’ complexions turned pale as lightning bolted from the blade.

“Get off now.”

“Hee, hee… ?!”

With a short scream, the men started to backtrack.

I swung my sword lightly in the air, wondering if anyone would rebel.

As the cold chill passed over the men’s bodies, they scattered with screams of despair.

With a sense of relief, I inserted the knife.

If anyone had tried to confront me, it would have ended at Erina’s hands, not me.

Not even a day has passed since I came to the village I had never seen before.

I didn’t want to make a fuss already.

As soon as the bullies disappeared, he approached Celica and talked to her.

“Are you okay?”

“Ah, yes… !”

Celica looked at me with a bewildered expression and hurriedly lowered her head.

From her point of view, it was embarrassing.

Because a person I had never seen before suddenly appeared and kicked out the person I was threatening.

But she knew for sure that she was indebted.

“Thank you for your help.”

A little while ago, the fearful expression disappeared and a bright smile was drawn.

Seeing that, I naturally laughed.

It was a special feeling to see the bright expression I always saw only on the monitor.

“You preached in the plaza earlier, didn’t you?”

“Ah, yes. You were watching then.”

Celica nodded as if she noticed our gaze.

Of the many people in the square, we were the only ones who heard the speech.

I was the only one who heard that properly.

“My name is Celica. I am a nun from the village monastery.”

In her polite manner, Celica bowed her head.

“Nice to meet you.”

“Ah. Nice to meet you!”

When I reached out my hand, Celica shook my hand with a soft smile.

She always exuded the air of a bright and naive country girl.

She could be said to be more like the main character than Erina.

Even when I was actually playing the game, just listening to the conversation I was having with Celica made her feel at ease.

Although he did not know the world well and had an erratic side, even that came as a charm.

In fact, there was a lot of public opinion favorable to Celica in the community.

There was a reason why she was so popular that she was one of her many peers.

But it was different in this world.

She didn’t look favorably on people.

It’s not just Celica. Priests and nuns staying in temples or monasteries were shunned by most people.

When Celica went out to the public square and preached, there was a reason why she received hostile glances.

“Do you really need to do that in the plaza? It looks dangerous.”

The atmosphere was precarious throughout the speech.

They even got her hit on the head with an apple.

A little while ago, I got into a fight with a bully.

Still, Celica acted casually.

No, she pretended to be fine and laughed it off.

“Thank you for your concern. But this is my job.”

It’s a pity, but this world has long since almost lost faith.

You never know when the demon king will attack.

Standards of living are becoming more and more impoverished and public security is becoming more and more insecure.

Even the bad news that comes every time.

Under these circumstances, few people developed a sense of faith.

In the yard where it was difficult to eat right away, there was no time to visit the temple and pray.

But Celica was different.

She stood by her convictions even when people looked down on her.

“Be careful. You never know when people like that will show up.”

“Thank you. The goddess will watch over you.”

After she said that, she walked out of the alleyway and separated from Celica.

“How is the nun you saw earlier?”

On the way back to the inn, she questioned the two of them.

Of course, everyone reacted badly.

Erina shook her head excitedly with her hard face.

Kayla didn’t express her intentions, but she responded with a distraught expression.

Erina expected that she would definitely object.

But she didn’t expect Kayla to come out negative.

“My lord, if there is something I lack… “

“It’s not because you’re lacking. We need one healer.”

The importance of a healer at a party cannot be overstated.

There was a reason why people were given top priority in the party.

There was a huge difference in the presence or absence of healers.

There was a clear difference in the way we played in the game.

“I don’t think it is necessary.”

Erina’s voice was firm. She didn’t have much rhetoric.

She’s just sticking to her stubborn attitude.

She already disliked being with Kayla, so she couldn’t allow Celica to be her ally.

More than anything, she was Erina’s former colleague, so she must know Celica better than anyone else.

‘Maybe she killed Celica in the first playthrough.’

According to the goddess, she said that Celica and her other companions also died at the hands of Erina.

In that sense, Celica was the object Erina was most wary of.

But there was a possibility.

Involving her colleagues decided to follow the majority opinion.

That’s why Kayla’s answer was the most important.

“I’m against it too.”

A determined voice came out of Kayla’s mouth.

Still, wouldn’t it be nice to hear the reason?

“I don’t want to accept untested people as colleagues. Of course, if the lord insists, I’ll follow…”

Kayla was right.

In her eyes, Celica was just an ordinary nun.

If her skills are poor, she will become a stumbling block rather than an ally.

Still, I was confident.

At least, I was sure Celica wouldn’t be an obstacle.

“Then we can meet.”

“…Really?”

I heard a heavy voice for a moment, but it went well enough.

In the first place, Erina’s opposition was expected.

On the contrary, if only Kayla was persuaded, she could bring Celica.

And there was another reason for my conviction.

Name: Celica

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Class: Nun

Level : 19

HP : 900/900

MP : 1260/1260

Strength: 12/100

Stamina: 13/100

Agility: 19/100

mana: 21/100

Wisdom: 32/100

Luck: 34/100

When I met Celica, I checked her status window.

I was relieved after checking the stats for the first time.

It is a fairly high stat for a healer you can meet in the beginning.

Even in this world, healers were rare.

It was not easy to find a colleague with this level of specs.

Suddenly, Erina, who was following me, grabbed my hand. And wrapped her arms around her.

“Really, do you intend to make that nun her companion?”

“Yes.”

“Really, really?”

No matter how much Erina tried, the decision didn’t change.

The answer will not change no matter how many times you ask.

She didn’t say anything more, perhaps noticing that she had no intention of changing her mind.

But that doesn’t mean she quietly gave up.

I’m sure I’ll stop Celica no matter what.

“My lord, I don’t know why you trust that nun.”

Kayla didn’t understand the situation and gave a confused expression.

It seemed a little frustrating.

She seemed worried because she was blindly trusting someone she had never seen before.

Above all, Celica was not a combatant accustomed to adventure or battle.

She was just an ordinary nun in a monastery.

“Why don’t you just give me one chance?”

In two days, she will go out to the plains to explore.

If you fight together with Celica, she will be able to understand even Kayla.

“…Okay. But I’ll make a cool decision.”

Like Erina, Kyla was strong in her own way.

In the current situation, it was next to impossible to find a colleague as competent as Kayla.

As such, her expectations for Celica could not help but rise.

Still, I trusted her.

At least the stats displayed on the status window won’t lie.

So, she expected that it would not be difficult to have Celica as her ally.

However, she ran into difficulties in an unexpected place.

“I’m sorry. I can’t follow your request.”

“Yes…?”

Selica heartlessly rejected my offer.
