Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party

Potato Soup to Soothe the Soul

‘As the holiday approaches, don’t want to increase the donation a little…’

Ralph of Gubinwon is busy today. In fact, he is always busy.

It’s because it’s his job to go to the haves and tell them to save the poor.

Of course, it is by no means easy.

-Is there anything I added to help them live in poverty?

The person who says this is a yangban. At least it’s not wrong.

Then what would you say If you don’t know and ask for money, is that a thief or a poor man?

Talking about mercy, talking about love, bringing in the sound of the stars,

Getting your wallet to open is not easy. Of course, there are also good people who do great philanthropy.

But they are never the majority. Taking money out of someone else’s wallet is just as difficult.

-The poor are like cockroaches. Even if everything dies, it will be full again tomorrow. I’m genuinely curious, so what’s the utility value for society to feed them?

It’s really hard for those who really don’t think it’s worth helping those in need.

When meeting such people, Ralph craved a cigarette. But even when he brought his hand into his pocket, there was no cigarette. If you buy corn with the money you spend on cigarettes, you can make cornbread, boiled corn, or even boil corn soup to feed one more person. For the same reason, he doesn’t even have a wristwatch.

They also sold gold rings,

The splendid addition of the family was also disposed of.

He, who runs a poor mansion with that money, was a different kind of person even thinking about it himself.

However, it was also the reason that the world had not yet cooled down because of such a different species.

“Oh my gosh. Isn’t that a person?”

He was walking around the shopping street until late at night to raise money, and he was desperate for a drink, but he thought about saving alcohol and buying food, so he threw it away and came back.

What he saw was a man who had fallen hard and hardened.

As if someone had rummaged through his pockets, his wallet disappeared and his clothes were removed. He wasn’t naked, but with only his underwear on, he fell to the ground and seemed to lose consciousness. Ralph hurriedly headed there.

“leprosy…”

Ralph, who discovered the identity of a person, could not hide his physiological disgust. It was difficult for even such a great person to reach out. He was a man who casually held the hands of the filthy poor, but he did not have the courage to support a leper with his bare hands.

“Hey, please cover this for now. Come on, cheer up and follow me.”

So he took off his coat. He covered the fallen woman with a cloak, and only then supported her to stand up. I don’t know if the overcoat will prevent leprosy, but just having a wall between him and her gives me psychological relief.

“Let’s go to the poor mansion first. Heh heh, what happened to this person…”

Ralph sighed. Being poor is not someone else’s business.

People whose goods are so precious that they can even strip off the clothes of a person with leprosy are not in another country, but in our immediate vicinity. I just don’t want to see it.

“So you brought me here?”

Clark, a man who was making potato soup with donated potatoes, was startled when he saw a leper carried by his colleague. He sighed as he looked around.

“Hey, Ralph. I’m not saying she should die, but it’s too dangerous. There are still many people who don’t like this poor mansion. But let’s say that rumors circulate that they are feeding lepers, and that’s not a rumor, it’s a fact. What will happen?”

“But you can’t just let it freeze to death.”

“Of course not that. Those who die must live. But what I mean is, once you get the hang of it, you have to kick it out. I can’t help it. It’s not just a matter of reducing donations.”

In the worst case, the poor house could be branded as a hate facility due to public backlash.

That means you might be kicked out of the city.

“For now, let’s lay it down near the fire, and it’s going to be potato soup, so let’s have a bowl and think about it.”

“Should I take you to the temple?”

“If you know how the temple treats lepers, then it is murder, and if you do not know how to do it, you are a fool. If you go, that woman will surely die. They will starve to death in a prison on a remote island.”

“then…?”

No matter how much Clark thought, there was no answer.

The people the whole world hates are lepers, what can they do?

The two of them put their heads together, but there was no clear answer.

“…water.”

A sound close to a moan broke their thoughts.

Looking up in amazement, the woman whose face was so badly damaged that it was difficult to even recognize her features let out a long, long sigh. He didn’t even seem to have the energy to speak up.

“the water…”

“Here is water. Now, eat slowly.”

Moderately heated water, neither hot nor cold.

Ralph slowly poured the warm water into his mouth. Water leaked and fell to the ground, but I was still able to drink to some extent. The princess’s eyes slowly lit up.

However, it was weak like a candle and swayed to and fro.

“…are you the ones who gave me water?”

The princess said in a voice as low as a wheezing moan.

Ralph nodded. It was then that the princess heard the soup boiling.

The hungry stomach was now almost sick. I could feel the skin sticking to my back.

The smell of boiling potato soup was sweeter and more beautiful than nectar. But she didn’t even ask for soup anymore. A single stone thrown by an unknown child shattered her last pride.

“Eat it. Let yourself warm up a little while you eat.”

So when Ralph offered her soup, the princess was surprised.

She was so surprised that she almost burst into tears. I tried to say that I was teasing myself, but my mouth didn’t fall off. It wasn’t until Ralph gave him the spoon that he realized it wasn’t a joke.

“Heartily…?”

“I don’t play with food.”

After taking a bite of the potato soup, the princess cried without saying a word.

It was so delicious. In fact, this potato soup made with mediocre ingredients was delicious even Ralph tried. Because the main ingredient, potatoes, were delicious. No matter who gave it to me.

Such a potato soup was an impression on the princess.

I was so moved that my favorite food changed from grilled pork to potato soup.

“I came to this city looking for Priest Kyle.”

The princess, who was silently eating soup, came to her senses and continued.

He was eating soup like crazy. For a moment, I gave up on hunger.

I remembered what I had to do when my stomach was a little full. the princess asked.

“If you know him… No, if you know his house, I’d appreciate it if you could tell me the location. I have come from afar to find him.”

“Are you saying you’re looking for a priest by the name of Kyle?”

Ralph and Clark looked at each other at the same time. The princess was puzzled by their reaction.

“By the way?”

“He is the one who donated the potato, the ingredient for the soup you are eating now.”

“But the fame wouldn’t have spread far enough…?”

If it’s a coincidence, it’s a trivial thing that can be dismissed as a coincidence.

But if it’s not a coincidence, it’s really strange. Ralph pondered.

“Then at dawn, I will take you to his house. But… I can’t say for sure if he’ll be able to cure you.”

“If you do, I’m just grateful.”

The princess then raised her words. That was an acknowledgment.

She let go of her pride as an imperial family and recognized Ralph as her benefactor. After all, these two have reached out to her, and no one is more grateful than those who reach out to her in her most difficult times.

“For now, get some sleep. I will wake you up at dawn.”

“If I have something to say… Ah!”

“No wallet, no clothes, you were missing from the moment I found you. It must have been taken by the bad guys in the back alleys.”

If the princess had not contracted leprosy, she might have taken her body as well. The back alleys at night are not very safe.

‘Ha, ha ha… Really now, there is nothing.’

I even let go of the spoon out of frustration. She really has nothing now.

He doesn’t have any clothes right now, so he borrows Ralph’s coat. There is not a single penny to reward the benefactor.

The only property, the body, is diseased and rotting, so there is really nothing. The name of the imperial family has long since rusted and collapsed.

‘Really, nothing.’

But the most ferocious thing is,

When the tired and weary body is exposed to the fire, it ignores the head and tries to fall asleep.

The sadness fades away, and the head goes blank. Sleep begins to pour.

So the princess fell asleep.

“Master, if you just say-”

When she opened her eyes again,

A certain beast girl was staring at her with her dark blue eyes wide open.

“I’ll take this trash and come back.”

It was Loca.
