Chapter 72 – Doubt (4)
The next day, Bien waited behind Sister Helen with two other saints.
This is the day when the Nisty family visits for regular support.
Take care of the convenience of the church or medical center
I’m coming to hear the status quo.
In any case, you need to make sure that the sponsorship is properly used.
I believe in you and will help you in the future.
Sister Helen, as always, was sitting in her chair with a peaceful expression on her face.
Two cups of hot tea were steaming on the table.
This serenity seemed to show how transparently she had been using her donation money.
-Smart
Someone knocked on the door
The person everyone has been waiting for.
“Come on in.”
Helen gives her permission, and the door opens.
Bien swallowed her saliva without anyone noticing.
You may not find out anything here,
A strange feeling told me that it wouldn’t be like that.
A middle-aged man came in first.
A white-haired man with a white beard.
Even with wrinkles and age, I felt that I had taken good care of it.
It was the first time Bienne had seen her aristocrat so close.
Even though I’ve never seen aristocrats from a distance through occasional events held in churches,
She had never been in a room like this before.
You could say it was really cute.
Several maids and servants followed behind him.
He, too, seemed brimming with his dignity.
A middle-aged man reached out to Helen.
“How have you been?”
“Of course. Heian, what about you?”
As Helen informs Vienne, she calls him by name.
I already expected it, but through him, Bien knew that the man
Recognizes that it is Hiannisti.
“I was fine too. Well, please sit down.”
Hian politely points to the seat with his hand.
The two settled comfortably.
“Did you have any problems this month?”
“Yes, thanks.”
Helen beckoned and Vienne took the papers.
The place where the donations of the Nisty family were spent,
The number of people who could be saved through him was recorded.
“Thank you, Vien.”
Helen said thanks.
Gwyn, the butler standing behind Hian, looked at Vien and asked.
“Are you seeing this for the first time?”
Even though he was a butler, his tone was wary, like a bodyguard.
“Gwyn, it’s okay. Do not be wary of these saints who save people’s lives.”
Rather, Hian shook his hand and stopped Gwyn.
“Sorry. My butler is very vigilant…”
Then, Hian apologized to Bien.
Bien nodded his apology and said,
He went back to his seat without saying anything.
Bien secretly let out her breath.
While looking at the Nisty family, I was like that.
My heart skipped a beat when the question came in.
After a brief incident, Helen handed over the documents to Heian, and Heian gave them back to Gwyn.
“Gwyn, can you check it?”
“Yes.”
Gwyn politely accepted the papers and took out his glasses from his bosom.
Arm and arm.
“…”
“…”
Conversation breaks down like that.
Hian licked her lips, flicked her armrest with his fingers, and rolled his eyes as he looked around.
He didn’t seem to be looking for anything to say, rather than looking around.
Helen didn’t try to loosen up the awkward atmosphere and she just waited.
Hian asked Helen, easing her throat and raising her teacup.
“Is there anything you need? As I always say, I am ready to do anything you ask for.”
“I already have enough. It’s okay.”
“Um… So, what… “
– Sluruk.
Hian looked at Gwyn after tasting the tea.
Gwyn hadn’t checked even half of the papers yet.
“…The tea tastes good.”
Hian gave a compliment to ease the awkward atmosphere, but
Rather, it served as a reminder of how much more awkward the situation was.
A few words of conversation are over.
In a quieter place than expected, Bien felt uneasy.
She knew maybe she couldn’t figure out anything, but
I was saddened to see it go that way.
If this is the case, it seems that he did nothing but embarrassingly crying in Helen’s embrace.
Hian continued to try to resolve the awkwardness.
I wanted to act a little more friendly than just waiting for each other’s work to be done in silence.
There is nothing wrong with stacking up.
Then, Hian snaps his fingers.
“Ah! The other day, I heard that a young man I know was hospitalized at the medical center.”
Helen also responds to the conversation with a smile.
“Is it?”
“Yes. Perhaps, a young man with sword scars on his arm and chest did not come.”
Bien, who had opened her ears to look at her bottom, glanced up, and only raised her eyes to look inside.
Sword wounds on her arms and chest.
It’s an injury you know all too well.
She was in pain as if she had been stabbed herself.
Her scar still remained on her chest, tormenting her.
Helen answers.
“I’m ashamed, but I don’t know all the patients. Can you tell me your name?”
Helen could guess the man Heian was talking about.
Bien grabbed the man and cried, so she couldn’t help but not know.
It was a big topic of conversation in the church for a while.
The man who is the reason Bien entered the dungeon is wandering between her death and death.
That disingenuous Vienne was crying until she passed out.
Anyway, Helen questioned Heian again to reassure her.
He answered.
“Starchis, a true young man. Do you know?”
Bien hid her trembling hands behind her.
Now I feel something rolling.
As expected, Hian knew Stachis.
Perhaps Elzain would know.
She had to figure out what kind of relationship it was.
I wanted to open her mouth and ask Hian everything she wanted to know.
Rather than gaining information little by little
I wanted to find out quickly and directly.
But, of course, that couldn’t be the case.
Helen looked back at her while answering, as if she knew what Vienne was thinking.
“Starches? That’s amazing. Bien, will you come back here?”
Gwyn turns over the papers and glances at Bien again.
Bien ignored the gaze and went to Helen’s side.
“Because this kid is close to that young man named Starchis.”
Hian widens her eyes in surprise.
“Ah? What a coincidence! Please sit down for a while.”
Hian, who found a clue to solve the awkward atmosphere, is delighted.
Bien naturally joins the conversation.
Hian continued the conversation.
“I was trying to tell her that I was grateful that the friend seemed to be doing well. It’s all thanks to all of you at the medical center.”
“There are things that can be operated smoothly thanks to sponsorship.”
Helen also returned her compliments.
“Haha, thank you for saying that. So what are you doing with Starchis?”
This time, Hian looked at Bien and asked.
Taking her question, she answers.
“..A party member who works as a gatherer together.”
“Are you a party member?”
“Yes.”
“Then do you enter the dungeon?”
“Yes.”
“I heard from Starchis that it was a very rough job..”
“..It’s okay.”
“So that… ?”
“It’s Vienne.”
“Bien is braver than he looks.”
Bien couldn’t fathom how close Hian was to Stachis.
It was surprising that he had met this nobleman without anyone in the party knowing,
It was even more surprising that he even said such a thing.
Talking about dungeons is not an easy conversation topic.
We need a lot of time to talk
There must also be some one-sidedness.
It wasn’t Starchis who would talk awkwardly about dungeons.
“But is Starchis always the same as he usually is?”
“Yes?”
“Actually, he said he knew, but it wasn’t long before he revealed his face, haha. I’m curious about Starchis’ usual appearance.”
Bien got a strange feeling from her question.
Rather than asking about people who know each other
A question like to make sure Starchis is a decent person.
“You’re nice as usual.”
“Okay.”
Bien tries to compliment others after a long time.
It’s obvious, but there’s nothing to say about him other than praise.
He didn’t have to say this in front of him, but without him he could do anything.
But what was the purpose of asking this question, Bienne wanted to know.
His relationship with Starchis became more and more curious.
“… How do you know Starchis?”
“Well? Ahaha.. I don’t have the person in charge of this, so can I say it…”
“…?”
Hian hesitates to say the next word.
I wondered how this reaction came out when I was asked how I knew him because something was going to come out.
Hian turned around and looked at the maids and butler.
Guin shrugged,
One maid who stood out shrugged her eyebrows.
Hian, who confirmed the reaction of the servants, spoke quietly.
“…Actually, my daughter likes Starchis.”
“Yes?”
Bien frowned.
It wasn’t something I would do in front of guests.
She couldn’t stop her crumpled face.
Another competitor who liked him came out of nowhere.
Party members at first.
Then Elsaine.
Now to the count’s daughter.
Why does he keep increasing his enemies?
And how she played tricks on him.
“..But, what does it have to do with liking Starches and knowing Starchis?”
“Listen. I’ll tell you soon. We met once at a restaurant, and my daughter took an interest in him and invited him to dinner.”
“Did Starchis take the position?”
Now Bien took the lead in asking questions.
I couldn’t stop the questions from bursting out of her mouth.
“It was. We got to know each other over that meal.”
“Why… There… We didn’t even say a word… “
Did he respond right away to the invitation?
Why did you go there
Could Stachis have liked Hian’s daughter?
But there is Elza, and she is not the kind of person to have an affair with.
In the midst of confusion, Hian tells Starchis why he accepted the position.
“Actually, we owe him.”
At the word debt, Bien raises her head.
“Debt?”
“You know. Vampire blood that Starchis transfused. It was borrowed from our family.”
“…Yes?”
Bienne took time to come to terms with her many facts.
To sum it up,
First, Heian’s daughter, a child named Rose Nisty, became interested in Starchis.
Second, in the meantime, Stachis collapsed and borrowed the vampire’s blood.
Third, it is said that he was able to have a meal with the debt.
The facts keep getting mixed up and twisted in my head.
Most surprising of all, the name Elsaine never came up in all of this.
What is the relationship between Stachis and Heian?
I was asking about the relationship between Elzain and Heian.
The name Elzain does not appear.
While tidying up her hair, Bien jumps up from her seat.
“Ah! That… Thank you.”
“Which one?”
“Vampire’s blood… I lent it to you.”
In any case, the noble in front is Stachis’ lifesaver.
So you can call it a lifesaver.
“Haha, I just did what I had to do.”
After saying goodbye, Bien tried again to unravel the unraveling thread.
Where the hell does the name Elzain come in here?
-Tuk tuk
As Vienne stars down at her, agonizingly, Helen wakes her.
Sister Helen was talking to Vienne with her eyes her.
‘Ask me if you have any questions.’
Vienne blinks her eyes, and makes up her mind her.
In the first place, this place was for this purpose.
Even if it’s a pity, you have to do it.
“..Can I ask you a question?”
At Bien’s words, Hian readily nodded her head.
“… Do you know Elza?”
“Elsaine?”
Hian stroked her beard.
“I don’t know if the Elza I know and the El Zain you know are the same person.”
“It’s okay. Do you know any Elsaine?”
“There should be. Right here. Elsaine?”
Hian looks back and calls out to her Elza.
Vienne has her hair mixed in a jumbled mess.
‘Uh? Elzaine is here?’
Her pink hair was nowhere to be seen.
She couldn’t have missed
She couldn’t have missed Stachis’s girlfriend.
As if to revive her expectations of her,
I can’t find anything pink
A maid walks out.
“Did you call?”
Bien rose slowly, very slowly, from her seat.
“…Everything, don’t you know the other Elsaine…Me…?”
She couldn’t comprehend what was in front of her eyes.
“All I know is this friend.”
If something was strange, it was seriously strange.
Vienne whispers.
“…You say you’re Elsain…?”
There are no people with the same name.
In front of her eyes, Elsa is also not the woman she saw then.
Then, next to Starchis, all sorts of fawning,
Who is that pink haired person?
