Let us help the doctor...By not standing in their way.
Let us help the nurses... By not standing in their way
Let us help the healers... By not standing in their way
Well, since Saintess Rumia, Cardinal Davis and the Church began to help, and since Queen Amleth herself assured the citizens that nothing would happen during the Salin Event, the unrest among the citizens of Amleth quickly subsided. They trusted every word she said. The little play performed by Miss Vita is also a success. Dr. Natasha and her team did a fantastic job, so much so that there's really nothing I can do.
The Salin event itself is a few weeks away, maybe two to three weeks, and right now they are all preparing for the big day. The doctors are all seeing the pregnant mom, making sure they're all healthy. The nurses are carrying out the doctor's orders, the healer from the church is giving the mother the blessing of the Goddess. Everyone is playing their role, and as such there's nothing I really need to do.
However, there's still a bit of work to be done, mainly hunting down the bad guy. While the unrest have died down, there are still rumors circulating here and there. Miss Eisheth herself managed to find out a few people responsible for the rumors, but that's been taken care of by the knights and the adventures.
The one responsible, as expected, is someone from the lunatic side of the Church, aka The Illumination, as well as The True Beastman group. While they spout nonsense that I couldn't really understand, such as how it's unholy for a mother of different races to give birth in the same room and other irrelevant things, Miss Eisheth still can't figure out what their true agenda is. Maybe it's just to stir up trouble.
I wanted to help, but since they knew better than to let me help or I'd screw it up, here I am, doing nothing but playing with Fie's whiskers. I wanted to go solo, but I don't know how to start, and even if I did, I don't want to break my promises to my family. I don't want them to be sad when they see me all ragged and beaten up. No, even though it hurts, what's worse is seeing their sad faces.
"Sorry, my fault, I am really sorry for this"
"Make sure you look straight at the road next time, you idiot!"
"Hey! My wife is pregnant and she said she was sorry, right?"
"Well, don't give her any more trouble!"
"You're not from Amleth, are you?" [Diana]
"And what did a little girl like you... (She's...If I'm not mistaken, she's the little sister of the heroes... Boss said not to stir up trouble around her...)
And the Rat Beastman quickly ran away. I wanted to catch him because he's really suspicious. I'm sure an Amlethian wouldn't have such a strong emotion of hate like him... He literally has a face that says, "I'll kill this lady if I can".
He's fast on his feet, but with Fie on my side, it's not really a problem. He runs away and takes all kinds of shortcuts, and with his smug face he thinks he's better than me. I've been playing tag, hide-and-seek, and even playing pretend all this time, memorizing all the roads that give me an advantage, so I'm sure I know the road at least better than an outsider.
When he realized he couldn't shake me off, he went to the busy market and started causing trouble. He deliberately throws several objects at me and others around me, so of course I have to slow down and help block the object with my magic. However, that doesn't slow Fie down at all, as Fie jumps into the Rat Beastman and starts using his fangs to bite his shoulder hard.
Just as I am about to use my magic to hold him down, a group of people dressed in church garb arrive. They thank me for stopping the commotion. When they try to take the Rat Beastman away, their faces are once again filled with hatred, which I find strange... Should I test them?
"Sister, sister! Listen, Miss Jean is really cool when she's helping Dr. Natasha! She's like a doctor herself!" [Diana]
"That traitor... I mean, is that true?"
"You're not from Amleth either... Aren't you?" [Diana]
And I quickly used an earth spell to capture them all. As soon as I did that, they accidentally let the Rat Beastman escape, and as a result, the Rat Beastman started causing trouble again.
"You madman, we will not bow down to you, you cab go to your hell but release our brother and sister!"
"What do you mean, you filthy rat?"
"Damn you! That's enough! I have had enough!"
In anger, he grabs a bystander carrying a small child.
"You madman. The blood of these two people is falling because of you".
He stabbed both of them in the heart. Seeing this, I accidentally lash out and unleash my magic. Unfortunately, it is badly done, as my magic causes an abrupt increase in pressure that blows them away. They quickly recover and start running away. I wanted to catch them, but
"Are you two okay? Hang on! I'll take you to the hospital" [Diana].
"Mother! Mother!"
"Urgh..."
"Fie! Quick!" [Diana]
"Meow!" [Fie]
My body moved on its own, priotizing the two injured.
