I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband

222 – Part 2, Episode 50, Dispatch.

Instead of a peaceful religious country… a major disaster occurred in the country next to the religious country.

It is said that a large city on the coast was hit by a large earthquake and suffered extensive damage.

In fact, the earthquake itself is said to have caused no significant damage.

There wasn’t an earthquake near a big city, the ground just shook a little.

However, the place where the earthquake occurred was in a stratum slightly away from the coast.

It is said that an earthquake occurred in a place where a large tsunami could occur, causing a tsunami.

“It’s rare to see tsunami damage…”

“okay?”

“It wasn’t that long ago that earthquakes started happening frequently in the first place. It’s been about three years now?”

3 years is exactly around the time I came over to this world.

When I think about it that way, I wonder if I could possibly be the cause of the disaster, but could it be possible?

Because it turned out that it was not the work of a servant of Chaos.

The Holy Knights first dispatched by the Church of Christ are still searching the area, but they haven’t been able to find it.

It’s strange that Styx and Mithril are around but they don’t show up.

It’s probably just a stratum problem…

And since it happened near the coast, it was a tsunami.

A tsunami is a sudden wave created by broken strata, creating a large tsunami, right?

To put it simply, it’s like someone put millions of tons of bombs into the sea and exploded them.

It’s just that the earthquake replaced the bomb.

Ugh…

If it were the same, I would have shaken my head and clicked my tongue, thinking, “This must be difficult.”

However, this time, I couldn’t say anything simply because something was out of the question.

Some priests and knights were dispatched to help recover from the flood damage.

So, I am heading to a coastal city in the next country with them.

“But we’re not a flood recovery team, are we?”

“Yeah, you’re just following me.”

“Phew… I was so scared when they told me to get on the carriage without saying anything…”

That’s right.

I kept it a secret from Dave because I wanted to prank him.

How fun it was to make fun of Dave even though it wasn’t the time to play pranks.

Just a moment ago, it was so funny to see him looking out the window with a frozen expression, wondering if he should jump or not.

Although we are heading to a coastal city, we are not a flood recovery team.

In my case, I join the sanitation team to purify water and seawater, and Dave and the other priests just accompany me as my priest.

During the flood recovery period, my attendants will be assisting me, not doing flood recovery work.

Even if other priests try to order my attendant priests to do work, they can handle it on their own because each priest has the right to refuse.

“Here, take this.”

“What is it?”

“A proof that you will never have to leave my side in the name of the Holy Father.”

It is a token made of thin silver and gold.

Anyone who has this is below the cardinal.

So, no matter how much you protest against the high priest’s orders, you will never be punished.

However, no one will be punished if they have this, so be careful not to lose it.

“If…if it stays like this, ask for it quickly!”

Dave took it like he was fishing for it.

I took care of it and the reaction was a bit too much.

*

Approximately 7 hours by carriage.

We crossed the border and arrived at the coast.

When we arrived, it was already somewhat organized.

There was no seaweed brought in by the tsunami, and the knights and priests were working hard to clean up the destroyed buildings.

Of course, people dispatched from the Principality of Haif and other countries were also working hard.

I heard that all neighboring countries have dispatched them.

“Yes!”

As I looked around, priests saw that we had arrived and came running towards us.

Seeing that he looked quite urgent, I was already about to sigh, but I held it back.

How busy is it?

They said I had to prepare for dispatch for the next week…

“Yes! Now is not the time to be like this!”

“If there are this many people, we need to prepare drinking water first.”

“The city’s drinking water is potable water, but there are no proper rooms for patients!”

Is it that bad?

If you think about it, there aren’t many places that can be called clean because of the tsunami.

However, it’s okay because I came.

If I purify, even dirty places become clean in an instant.

Whether it’s wet or broken.

I have become a true flood damage restoration specialist.

Plus, you can use fire magic, so you can boil water.

Since you can use recovery magic and detoxification magic, you can heal wounds and even detoxify poison.

“Then, let’s secure the hospital room first.”

“Follow me! I will guide you!”

The priest followed along with the attendant priests.

The further I followed, the more houses and people lying on the road that had been damaged by the tsunami, and the sight made me want to avoid my eyes, as if this place were hell.

There were also dead people.

However, there seemed to be more injured people than dead.

“The number of deaths is not that many. But it’s a good thing.”

“How much?”

“It is estimated that there are about 200 out of 100,000 people.”

It seemed relatively small, so it’s a lot.

In Korea, no matter what the rate, if 200 people die overnight, it would be a catastrophe that would be talked about on the news for three months.

Still, the buildings on the mountain side are okay.

What are those people thinking as they look down?

But is the house downstairs more expensive or the house on the mountain more expensive?

Since it is a coastal city, a place with a good view of the sea seems to be expensive, and a house on a mountain with a panoramic view seems to be expensive as well.

As I walked with that in mind, I arrived at my destination.

As I said, we came to the largest building here, which I think was used as an indoor playground.

“Hmm… I’m sure it wouldn’t be a good idea to write it like this.”

“Yes… we plan to use one side as temporary accommodation for flood victims, and the other side as an emergency operating room.”

“Both places need to be clean.”

That too is needed right away.

First of all, I had to purify it first, so I took out the holy sword from my waist and held it against the wall near the entrance.

***

How much recovery magic did you use?

Even as I sit and drink water for a moment, the door opens wide and people keep coming in.

“This is an emergency patient!”

“Where are you injured?”

“Fractured arms, legs and ribs! And I’m a little unconscious. There’s even traces of blood flowing from the back of my head!”

I jumped up from my seat and placed my hand on the portable bed where the patient was lying.

Usually, when these patients come in, they die.

It’s in very bad condition.

I guess I can survive the fractures in my arms and legs.

However, the fractured ribs and signs of blood flowing down the back of the head are not in good condition.

Concussion… If you’re bleeding, there’s a chance it could be a cerebral hemorrhage.

So even if you cast a recovery spell once, you will die of shock.

However, because I am here now, this patient can live.

I brought the blade of the holy sword lying on the floor to the patient and used purification once.

And I used recovery magic right away.

The patient glowed with green light and then suddenly became quiet.

Although it was wet with dirty sea water, it was as soft as if it had just been washed, and there were no signs of swelling or injury.

Of course, since I received recovery magic, I won’t be able to wake up for a while.

My recovery spell has dramatic healing effects, but it has a lot of backlash.

“Yes! There’s a patient here too!”

It looks like they came in together.

Ignoring the headache that felt like I had lost a lot of my magical power, I headed to the bed next to me.

I’m really going to fall if this continues.

I took out the magic potion from my pocket and drank it, which I had not intended to drink until just before O-Ring.

“Whoa… I really think this is a drug.”

Even though it is a magic potion that restores lost magic power, it is misunderstood.

I wonder if everyone would feel the same way if they saw such dramatic recovery for themselves.

I only drank one sip, and the headache and dizziness were completely gone.

Rather, I was convinced that it would be okay to use recovery magic now.

After seeing the last patient, I switched to the next recovery specialist.

Of course, in my case, I couldn’t go to rest because I had to work when an emergency patient came.

All I could do was lie down on the cot that was set up just for me and sleep for a little while.

If I leave here now, too many people will die.

“ha…”

“Elvin… are you okay?”

“are you okay…”

As I sighed, Etheria patted my shoulder, saying she felt sorry for me.

Then he opened the cap of the water bottle with a clicking sound and offered it to me.

“Drink this.”

“It’s water…”

“When I went to the store, they sold it?”

“….what?”

That can’t be possible.

Currently, all supplies in this coastal city are probably controlled by the Principality of Haif.

In the case of bottled water, since it is an emergency item, you would have been ordered to release all of it, right?

But Etheria bought water from a store?

“Where is the store?”

“Over there on the side of the mountain…”

“…Is that so…”

I think I know roughly what it is.

Perhaps that was why only sighs mixed with lament continued to flow out.
