Chapter 113: Former Saint

Maria’s POV

Hah~ Why do I have to go to church...?

I thought I'd never be a part of it again after quitting being a saint...

I thought today was going to be a fun day of shopping...

"Maria, why do you look so unhappy?"

"That's not true..."

"Really? But you look like you don't like it."

"That's because... People call me a saint, but I was just a fighter and I don't know much about doctrines... I didn't know anything about the church..."

"You are a saint, but you have no faith?"

"I only prayed in the village..."

"A saint's power depends on her faith... I know it's not my place to say this since the Demon King's army defeated me... but you should have faith and kindness."

"Um, Cecilia-sama, I am no longer a saint. I no longer belong to the church."

"Are you... stupid? Then I suggest you go wherever you want..."

"Cecilia-sama, you're too much! You don't have to go that far."

There's no need for her to go to such lengths.

"Yes, I must say so. After all, Ceres-sama is a 'Hero (Eiyuu)'... a supreme being recognized by three nations including the Holy Church... some followers even call him 'the Agent of the Goddess'... and you have become Ceres-sama's 'vassal', isn't it? So, can you deny the Church? I mean, you are a loyal subject to Ceres-sama, our Lord, you know? If you, a vassal of Ceres-sama protected by the Hero Protection Law, deny the church, you are not qualified to be a vassal... don't you think so?"

I understand what she is saying...

It's bigger than I expected...

And up close, it's much bigger than most churches...

"Isn't this Cecilia-sama and Maria?"

"Aunt Marble."

"Ara, stop it, Maria... people call her Sister Marble here... she's in charge until a priest is found."

"I see..."

"Yes, that's pretty good, isn't it?"

"Yes, of course."

Still, she calls Cecilia-sama with Cecilia-sama, and she call me with Maria... We're the same former saint, but we're so different.

"So, have you received Sister Marble's silver staff?"

"Yes, here it is..."

It is a very fine staff, and I have never seen such a staff except for a holy weapon.

"Maria, this is the best staff that anyone other than a saint can have...well, not as good as mine or Shizuko's, but I taught you what you needed to know... I would not have given it to you if you had rejected the Church altogether there. In fact, I was originally going to give it to you when you became the head of the medical center... but because that opportunity is gone now, so I'm giving it to you now... And since I've taught you the skills... now you just have to work hard to acquire the heart and strength."

"Thank you very much, I'll do my best."

"No problem! Shizuko and I will continue to train you! We will make you a healer that will go down in history... 'if you don't die...'"

"Yes... please."

I think... maybe I made the wrong choice.
