Two passengers were riding in a carriage headed towards the capital city’s academy.
One of them was the Baron Daughter Sara Salah.
She was a girl with peach-colored hair, innocent and beautiful.
Who was about to start her first year at the Royal Kirarimeku Academy.
And the other one was Kisket Tovelle.
A wandering healer who had been hired as a teacher at the academy for the upcoming semester.
He was a tall man with white hair and tanned skin.
Inside the swaying carriage, Sara had fallen asleep, worn out from her incessant chatter.
Upon seeing her peaceful sleeping figure, Kisket let out a sigh of relief.
(Somehow… I managed to bring things to this point…)
Kisket was a wanderer, incredibly skilled at the art of healing.
He came from a count family in a country called Demes.
He was a peculiar man who had given up his noble status and left his home.
He loved freedom and was a whimsical man who refused to be bound by anything.
That was the general perception of Kisket in public.
Therefore, when his few acquaintances heard that he had been hired as a teacher at the academy, they were all equally surprised.
However, Kisket’s decision to become a teacher at the academy was not a change in his free-spirited nature.
People believed his free-spirited behavior was a reflection of his true nature and temperament.
But in reality, it was not the whole story.
He had a master.
A supernatural master whom he respected and dedicated his entire being to serve.
Ever since he had left his noble family, nearly all of his actions had been instructed by that master.
That master’s name was the Fate God, Arofa.
Kisket was the apostle of the Fate God.
◇ ◇ ◇
It was said that the Fate God, Arofa, had beautiful rainbow-colored hair.
But she always appeared before Kisket in the form of a small bird that shimmered with rainbow colors.
According to the Fate God, this form was her vessel for activity on the mortal plane.
Anyway, on a day when Kisket was resting at an inn, that rainbow-colored bird appeared.
In a hurry, Kisket opened the window and invited the vessel of his master into the room. Where the bird hopped around chirpily before imparting a divine command upon him.
That was:
«Assault the Baron Daughter Sara Salah of Salah Baron Family, which is located in the eastern region of the country of Tenidis.»
Kisket was taken aback and perplexed.
He was proud to be a apostle of the Fate God, and he intended to do anything his master commanded.
However, until now, all the divine revelations he had received entailed using his healing abilities to save someone.
He had never received a divine decree to harm someone, let alone the command to attack.
The rainbow bird seemed to understand Kisket’s bewilderment and continued to provide a more detailed explanation.
«I am not sending this divine command because I dislike her. On the contrary, it is a trial. It is a necessary trial for Baron Daughter Sara Salah to awaken her true power.»
I see, when it was put that way, Kisket couldn’t argue against it.
«You should give money to some thieves and instruct them to attack. According to the threads of fate, as a result, Baroness Sara Salah will suffer a serious injury, but she will not die. It is because you, who happen to pass by, will be there to heal her.»
In other words, inciting thieves and then saving her.
(So ‘stir up a problem and then resolve it’ situation… but that is what you, my master, need?)
«Yes… no, don’t misunderstand. This is a necessary trial for her. My devoted apostle, Kisket, will you do it?»
(Y-Yes… by the way, what will happen to the thieves after rescuing the young lady?)
«You will request the accident to Megzam Thieves. They don’t create good fates. Dispose of them before they say anything unnecessary. That power, the power to fight, has already been bestowed upon you.»
(…)
«You are an adventurer, aren’t you? You have assisted in subduing thieves before, haven’t you? It is the same as that. Kill them.»
(… Ye-Yes)
It was a divine command.
Kisket received the divine command and began his actions.
◇ ◇ ◇
And so, on the day when Baron Daughter Sara Salah was riding the horse carriage, they got attacked by the thieves Kisket hired.
And here it was, the young lady faced a life-threatening situation.
A bandit raised a hand axe overhead.
She would surely instinctively dodge and avoid a direct hit to the head from the axe raised above her. She would not be dead, but she would inevitably suffer a critical injury.
That would be when Kisket would come into play.
That must be how the situation would unfold.
How did Kisket know?
Because that was what the Fate God had foreseen.
While perfectly concealing his presence in the bushes along the road, Kisket prepared himself. Surging his body with mana, he was ready to fight in order to save the young lady.
However…
An unexpected event occurred at this moment. Both for him and also for Fate God.
*BANG!*
With a resounding explosion, the head of the thief who had targeted the Baron daughter exploded, it was thrown into the air.
(Huh…!?)
In the confusion, Kisket froze, and the situation rapidly began to unfold.
By the time he realized it, it was too late.
Except for a few who managed to escape, all of the thieves had been massacred by a raggedy young girl who suddenly appeared, with black hair and black eyes.
Kisket had failed to fulfill his divine command for the first time on that day.
◇ ◇ ◇
After Kisket’s failure, the Fate God quickly took action.
Within the night, a rainbow bird descended upon Kisket, who was camping in the wilderness.
«The failure this time cannot be helped. Fate is like the ever-changing flow of water, and irregularities that even the gods cannot anticipate occasionally occur.»
The little bird forgave Kisket generously.
Or rather, Kisket had been acting in accordance with the little bird’s instructions, so his failure was also the little bird’s failure.
The little bird’s words seemed somewhat like an excuse to Kisket.
«However, my devoted apostle Kisket, do not forget… I will not withdraw this divine command to give the trial to Baron Daughter Sara Salah. From now on, you must discreetly stay close to the Salah Baron’s estate and wait for the right moment.»
Kisket prostrated himself and received a new divine command, embarking on his next action.
…However, fulfilling this divine command proved to be extremely difficult.
It seemed that the girl who had appeared earlier had been hired as a maid within the Salar Baron’s estate.
When Baron Daughter Sara Salah went out, that girl always stuck close to her.
Kisket also could not infiltrate the mansion due to a protective barrier.
(…Damn it! Why would they even think of hiring a cursed girl!)
Kisket hid in the forest, watching over Sara’s practicing magic while feeling frustrated.
It was clear to Kisket that the skill displayed by that girl, who didn’t seem like much, was extraordinary. Kisket had witnessed her easily annihilate the thieves, after all.
Although he had been given the power to face her as a apostle, if he were to fight her one-on-one, he would probably win. However, if he did that, his presence would be noticed by Baroness Sara Salah.
That means he couldn’t fulfill the divine mission.
And above all, he was a healer.
Despite being an unpleasant cursed child, he did not want to harm her needlessly.
*Whoosh!*
At that moment, something passed right beside Kisket’s head at an incredible speed, flattening several trees that grew behind him.
It seemed that the cursed child had inexplicably been persuaded by the Baron daughter to use her [Stone Throwing] ability.
(Retreat! We must retreat!)
Kisket, pale-faced, immediately left the scene.
His [Presence Concealment] was perfect.
He hadn’t been noticed and the stone projectile had just coincidentally been directed towards him. But even so, he didn’t want to stay in that place any longer.
If the trajectory of that stone had deviated even slightly, he would have been killed.
After a long time, Kisket felt the fear of death again.
And it was the first time since had become a apostle of the Fate God.
◇ ◇ ◇
A week passed after the situation changed.
The rainbow-colored bird descended once more upon Kisket, who had continued to camp out and was starting to feel worn out.
The bird didn’t scold Kisket for his lack of progress but instead delivered a new divine revelation cheerfully.
«My apostle Kisket. From now on, you are to enter deep into the forest behind the mansion and climb the mountain there. Cut down the large Kaliva tree at the mountain’s summit. It’s essential to thoroughly uproot the roots as well.»
(Huh? What happened to the trial for Baron Sara Salah’s daughter?)
«When you cut down the tree, it will become a trial for her.»
What? Why?
While internally questioning the situation, Kisket followed the instructions.
Compared to fulfilling a divine command to assault someone, this task was much more relaxing.
After that, Kisket was instructed by the bird to stay in a neighboring village near the Salah Baron’s mansion. He was also instructed to spend his time treating minor injuries of the villagers to kill time.
◇ ◇ ◇
And then, a few days later.
In the neighboring village where Kisket had been staying, a maid from the Salah Baron’s household with bandages wrapped around her head rushed in with a panic-stricken expression.
It seemed that the Baron’s daughter had been exposed to a small amount of Poison Topopolok’s poison and had fallen into a critical state of unconsciousness.
Apparently, the trial for the Baron’s daughter had been activated due to Kisket cutting down the tree. Kisket couldn’t understand why or how it happened.
Well, there was no point in worrying about the details now.
Given the situation at hand, his job was to treat the young lady.
The injury he needed to treat had changed from a cut inflicted by thieves to poisoning.
The Salah Baron’s household was well-liked by the neighboring villagers, and even the village chief who had accommodated Kisket was happy to see him off.
“… By the way, other than the young lady, has anyone else been exposed to the poison?”
As Kisket was on his way to the Baron’s household, he questioned the maid to gather information as a healer.
“A-Ac-Actually, a maid apprentice shielded the young lady and took a direct hit from Poison Breath…”
“I see… I offer my prayers for her soul.”
The maid apprentice must be referring to that cursed child.
Directly hit by Poison Topopolok’s [Poison Breath], her chances of survival should be slim.
She had been the greatest obstacle to fulfilling the divine command, but hearing that she had died stirred some feelings of pity within Kisket.
“U-Umm, no, actually, she lost consciousness from the hit, but she seems to be in good health now. She’s sleeping soundly.”
What on earth was she? A monster?
***
Arriving at the Baron’s residence, Kisket was immediately led to the room where the young lady was resting and began his treatment.
However, the young lady’s condition was severe.
It seemed impossible for Kisket’s treatment alone to suffice.
Nevertheless, Kisket remained composed.
This scenario had already been discussed with the Fate God.
Kisket’s efforts were in vain, and the life of Baron Sara Salah’s daughter was hanging by a thread.
But this was where the God’s miracle would unfold.
The young lady would be bestowed by the power of god, and she would be revived.
The rest would follow naturally.
This was the scenario bestowed upon him by the Fate God.
Along the way, the cursed girl who had caused trouble before woke up and burst into the room.
He couldn’t allow her to interfere with the divine command any further.
“Don’t come any closer, cursed child.”
The words that came out were colder than he had intended.
In response, the cursed girl gave Kisket a response of…
A very strong, killing intent.
It was ruthless, fierce, and intensely murderous.
(Hi-…!)
Instinctively, Kisket let out a small, pitiful scream.
She was not good.
He could sense that only from the killing intent.
She had no qualms about killing.
Her mindset was utterly different from that of a regular person.
His previous analyses, like “I might win in a one-on-one fight since I have the power from the god,” now seemed foolish.
He didn’t want to fight her.
As a healer at heart, Kisket couldn’t possibly engage in a life-or-death struggle with that monster.
He quickly tried to appease the cursed girl, and he felt profound gratitude towards the Baron, who had managed to defuse the situation.
◇ ◇ ◇
And so, the trial for Baron Daughter Sara Salah’s came to an end, and she was revived.
According to her family, she had some memory gaps and displayed minor changes in her personality, but they weren’t significant issues.
Even the rainbow-colored bird casually dismissed it with «There’s no need to worry.»
Now, more than ever, the difficult part lay ahead.
Kisket had been proceeding with the paperwork to become a teacher at the academy, as the rainbow-colored bird had told him before. However, according to what the bird revealed yesterday, this was to support Baron Daughter Sara Salah.
As the carriage headed toward the academy, the young lady drooled while she nodding off, exposing a foolish expression. She was a beautiful girl as long as she stayed quiet, but she was quite stupid.
In the Royal Kirarimeku Academy, where the offspring of nobles from across the country gathered, she might stand out quite a bit.
Perhaps she’d be treated like a wild monkey from the countryside or something along those lines.
Furthermore, she occasionally behaved and spoke strangely.
When he listened to the murmurs she occasionally uttered, it seemed like she regarded Kisket as her ‘Assisting Character.’
What on earth did that mean?
While it was true that Kisket was following a divine command to support her, she shouldn’t have any knowledge of it…?
(Well, whatever. What I need to do is to continue as I have. Just follow the divine command.)
Kisket shifted his thoughts.
Through the carriage window, he saw that the peaceful countryside had transformed into a bustling city with bustling crowds.
The sounds of people talking and the enticing aroma of street food wafted in.
Leaning slightly out of the window, he saw a massive gate in the distance.
It was the main gate of the Royal Kirarimeku Academy.
The preeminent place of learning in Tenidis.
On this continent, this academy was among the five most renowned.
This would be his new workplace for at least the next twelve years.
*bang*
He slapped his cheeks.
With this divine command, Kisket had committed a failure, being unable to fulfill the command.
For a temperamental god, this alone could lead to abandonment, expulsion from being an apostle, or even his death.
However, the Fate God, Arrowfa, had generously pardoned him, and he was still highly valued as an apostle.
Kisket would repay this kindness. He would rectify his failure.
(I need to put my all into this.)
Kisket renewed his determination.
(Please watch over me, Fate God Arofa. As your apostle, Kisket, I will surely show you actions worthy of your favor.)
He placed a hand on his chest and offered a prayer to the god.
(… Also, I know it’s quite audacious to ask, but Fate God, I have a favor to ask.)
Continuing, he spoke to the god.
(I hope that I… never have to meet that cursed girl again.)
It seemed that Emi had become a traumatic memory for Kisket.
