Hero Rain-chan
The village chief, perhaps sensing my puzzled expression, approached me with an anxious look on his face.
"Light-sama… what do you think? Will this child’s mother, Maria, be cured?"
I'm now troubled......
I don't know how to answer it......
Sebas opened his mouth as if he sensed it.
"Light-sama, is this a disease that requires Suzuka-dono's help? If so, it would be better to call Suzuka-dono..."
I deny it, still hesitating.
"No, it's not that. This disease can be cured. Rather, I can cure this disease. But..."
I looked around and made up my mind.
Having made up my mind, I felt a little better and sighed a little before asking everyone.
"I have a favor to ask of everyone here. I ask everyone here to keep what I'm about to say to themselves."
When I said that, Sebas, the village chief, and the girl all nodded in agreement.
"Maria-san's illness is chronic mana deficiency. And the cause is..."
I looked at the girl.
The girl's shoulders shook and she turned pale again. She may have sensed it because of the conversation and the fact that I was looking at her.
"Her daughter is the cause. After giving birth to her, she developed mana deficiency syndrome. And since she's been living with a lack of mana ever since she gave birth, it's become chronic."
The girl fell to her knees and started crying, perhaps because she was shocked by what was said.
"No way... Rain was the cause..."
The village chief also dropped his knees and put his hand on the shoulder of the girl called Rain and began to soothe her.
And Sebas seems to have realized the reason why I was out of it.
"Light-sama... could this girl be..."
"Yeah. Sebas, the village chief, and Rain-chan? I don't want you to ever talk about this, okay?"
After confirming that the three of them nodded, I answered.
"Rain-chan was born a [Hero]. That's why her mother, Maria-san, has a mana deficiency."
Both the village chief and Rain-chan raised their faces in surprise.
Sebas was also surprised as it was more than he had expected.
"I'm... a [Hero]?"
After a moment of silence, it was Rain-chan who finally spoke.
The village chief and Sebas realized the seriousness of the situation and their faces turned pale.
A [Hero] has appeared in the kingdom.
The meaning of this is that it is a political issue that could lead to war with the Holy Church.
The kingdom was always looking for a [Hero].
While other countries had [Heroes], only the kingdom could not obtain [Heroes]. [Hero] is like a trump card, equivalent to a nuclear weapon in my previous life.
Until now, the Kingdom had no choice but to step back in negotiations with other countries. But now that they have the [Hero], it is a different story. It can come on strong.
However, the Holy Country was different.
That country wants to monopolize the [Hero]. If they learn that a [Hero] has appeared in the kingdom, they will come to obtain it by force.
There could be a war between the Kingdom that doesn't want to let go of the [Hero] and the Holy Country that wants to get it...
"This is... I can't say anything. It's too big..."
The village chief replied while trembling.
"I can't judge this matter..."
Sebas also held his head.
So I gave my thoughts.
"I think we have no choice but to keep quiet now. It's up to Rain-chan, but if you think about her happiness, I don't think it's a good idea to keep her in the dark about it. I should be the one to protect her anyway. I've already decided that I'm going to become an adventurer, so if I travel with her, I don't think they'll be able to trace us."
Rain-chan was puzzled by my words before answering.
"What about Mother? I don't want to live without her! Don't worry about me, save her now!"
"It's okay. I'll cure her illness. But it will take time, so she'll have to come to the mansion. Is it alright, Sebas?"
Sebas nodded in response.
"Let's decide on Rain-chan's future once her mother, Maria, has recovered to a certain extent. Is that okay with you, Rain-chan?"
Rain-chan nodded to that question.
In this way, I ended up protecting the [Hero] and her mother.
