Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party

The Story Beyond

First of all, get information. It is my intuition that that is the place I should go, and it is not a revelation from the Lord or an angel.

That said, there is a possibility that I may be wrong.

I didn’t have time to wait for Roka, who didn’t come back, so I asked the attendants nearby to tell me that the royal blue-haired beast child was at the gate at the Island Square when he found me.

Rowena also stood up and joined me. He also said he wanted to see what was going on with his own eyes.

“Let’s go for now. I have to see with my own eyes what has happened.”

With this person, there were no obstacles on the way. There were already soldiers around the gate and they strictly controlled entry, but the soldiers could not recklessly block Mr.

Rather, a soldier stood by us to explain what was going on.

“That’s the gate. do you believe As you can see, beyond now, it’s no different from hell.”

“Is that the gate? I can’t see well, is there a fire?”

Rowena asked, and it was a question worth asking. Where the gate was located, all we could see was black smoke and gray ash flying through the air.

The ashes fell almost like fog, completely obscuring the view. If it hadn’t been for people jumping inside, we would have thought there was a fire.

The smell of sulfur and ash spewing out of the nose. Without knowing the circumstances, it was not strange to think that the place where that gate was connected was hell, not the Citadel Republic.

“Beyond… the situation at Vales City is very bad. According to the testimonies of those who came over, the ash erupted so much that it covered the sky and the ground. The ashes will continue to be blown this way through the air, and we’ll be very dead. Do you see me wearing winter clothes on this hot day?”

Still, all the soldiers were wearing thick clothes and covering their mouths with scarves. Now that summer is fast approaching, it’s not cold at night and hot during the day, but I couldn’t wear light clothes even though it was near death.

“That ashes are so toxic that they cause a rash just by touching the skin. The soldiers who worked in short sleeves without knowing it were now taken to the treatment center. Fortunately, we don’t have any contact with the ashes except when we’re off duty, but what about the people from beyond.”

It’s common to see people with blisters or rashes, soldier Panton said.

“Are there many patients?”

“It’s a lot. In fact, people with skin problems are still lucky. There is no need to heal with divine power. If you come here, wash off the ashes, and apply ointment, you will feel much better. But while wounds on the skin can be healed, the inner ailments caused by swallowing ashes and smoke cannot.”

It is smoke that causes this kind of problem even if it just touches the skin, but if you breathe it in, you won’t get sick,” Panton asked. He said that there are not many people coughing and coughing up blood.

“Besides… the ground is quite unstable, so it seems that there are aftershocks several times a day. Then, there are a lot of people who get hurt by being cut by broken glass, tripping over shaking, or getting hit by falling objects. The number of patients is almost unbearable.”

Fortunately, the priests who worship the three gods are opening an emergency treatment center to take care of the injured. However, Panton said that even if the divine power was mobilized, the ashes that had already been inhaled through the nose could not be helped.

I don’t know if it will help or not, but he was very happy when I made a fountain.

“There were a lot of people who complained of thirst, so I was going to ask the superior for water, but I don’t have to.”

“If the people who managed to escape are like this, the people left over there will be even more serious.”

“Would they mind getting hurt? I’m desperate right now and I’m going crazy. The upper management declared that people who came should receive money, but that is not important now. In the first place, people have to come to get paid or not, right?”

Now, it is said that they were ordered to make a list of those who escaped and collect money. However, he said that even without money, he did not deport the people who had already come through the gate. It is simply to erase it with debt and accept it for the first time.

The problem is, there aren’t many people who come over with debt and Nabal. Actually, this could not be anyone’s problem.

“That gate is hard to see now because of the smoke, but it’s not that big in the first place. It is a structure that is difficult for a single person on a horse to pass through, let alone a wagon. It is large enough that even a line of people can pass through it, so it is questionable whether even one-tenth of the citizens will be able to evacuate even if they pass through it all day.”

Mr. Panton said it was one-tenth, but it seemed to me that even one-hundredth would not be able to evacuate properly. How can all the people in one city escape through this little gate?

Even if the given time is only 1 year or 6 months, it would be worthwhile to do it, but the reality is that 6 days, let alone 6 months, is a daunting task. We don’t know when the explosion will happen, but it’s already just a matter of time.

“People who come through the gate aren’t really that tall, with a few exceptions. It is said that those who had money or power had already escaped in warships, or took a seat on a merchant ship and escaped by boat.”

he told me Of course, the Republic of Citadel was the center of commerce, and no matter how many merchant ships and warships there were, it was impossible to evacuate the entire country’s citizens by ship.

Even the largest sailing boat has hundreds of people when it’s really full. If you start to fill with wealth or luggage instead of people, you may not be able to burn half, maybe even half.

By the time the ship had moved to a safe place and laid down people and property, everything would be over, so the escape by the ship had to be considered as practically over. This means that now the rest must either escape through the long-lined gates or die there.

“There is a story that Aldehirism chooses even children and moves them through airships, but there are not many of them. Right now, there will be no other people out there who are longing for life or have given up on it.”

It is a desperate situation to hear. But thanks to that, the thought that I should go there was stronger.

What the Lord desires is to overcome the perils that humans thought they would not be able to overcome on their own. But it didn’t seem like a situation that could be overcome in that way.

Do you want to save a little more or not even that?

These two choices are forced. There is no way to do it through human effort, so we have no choice but to overcome the crisis with the help of the Lord.

“Are you really going to go beyond that?”

Mr. Rowena said with concern.

“I thought it was crazy from the beginning, but I will correct it. This is fucking crazy. No one with knowledge would go into such a place.”

He looked tiredly at the gate somewhere beyond the smoke.

“It made me want to go.”

I must throw myself into danger if I am to follow the Lord. There will be people who need to be saved in that danger, and there will be people who want help.

If all I could do was pray, I would be heartbroken at the same time, but I know that’s not the case. I have a way to save everyone.

So, not only did the meaning not change, but it became even more solid.

After the explanation, Mr. Panton left, and now only me and Mr. Rowena were left. He sighed.

“Even if I stop, won’t you hear me?”

“There are people looking for hope, and the Lord is there. If I don’t go, it’s not only sinning against God, it’s sinning against people, and it’s also sinning against myself.”

As I made the decision to put myself in danger, my mind was rather at peace.

There was no worry and no fear because he had made the right choice.

“master.”

A familiar voice came from behind. He looked a bit tired.

When I turned around, Roka was walking towards this place with a frown on her face. Even if it had fallen from the volcanic ash, the smell of sulfur was everywhere. That must have felt like torture to that kid with a better nose than a human.

Still, it was nice to see him again, and his tail rose with a twinkle.

“You’ve been looking for it for a while. Why are you going to such a place… But who is that?”

The tail protruded a little. Now worries and fears have arisen.

How can I convince Rocca to leave me here? I never want to take you over there, but I doubted if you would obey me.
