Maria
I immediately started treating Rain-chan's mother, Maria-san.
I flowed mana into her and felt it.
I realized that it would be difficult to bring her back to the mansion immediately.
So I asked Sebas to tell the people I was learning from that I would take a break, and he immediately wrote a letter to each of them.
He had the people of the pioneer village deliver the letter to the mansion.
After a while, Maria's rough breathing became quieter as I began to flow mana into her.
Seeing that, Rain-chan felt relieved and fell asleep on the sofa.
I look at Maria-san again.
Her hair, which was originally silver, has lost its luster and now resembles gray hair, her cheeks and her eyes are sunken and wrinkled. I wouldn't say she's an old woman, but she looks that much older.
But she's only 24 years old.
She has suffered that much.
It is her life that I said [something I don't want to see].
Maria-san was born into a poor merchant family in the royal capital and helped out at the house until she reached adulthood.
After becoming an adult, she got a job as a maid at a nobleman's mansion through an acquaintance's introduction, but...
She was toyed with by the family's illegitimate son.
She was treated badly, being used as a sexual outlet by the man on a near daily basis, and being raped by other men as entertainment.
When he learned that she was pregnant, he kicked her out of the mansion with a small amount of money.
She consulted the town doctor about having an abortion, but the time for abortion had already passed, and she decided to give birth on the doctor's advice.
The doctor advised her that if she found it difficult to make ends meet after giving birth, she should leave the baby in the care of the church.
And she gave birth to Rain-chan.
At this time, she was experiencing symptoms of mana deficiency syndrome, but she managed to suppress the symptoms on her own.
At first, she tried to rely on her parents, but they refused to accept her.
She went to serve in a noble family's mansion and immediately returned with a baby. It was obvious that there would be problems.
The next person she turned to was the acquaintance who had introduced her to the nobleman. However, she learned at that time that the acquaintance was the one who introduced her to the nobleman in order to humiliate her.
The acquaintance looked at her and sneered, [You look nice].
Maria-san thought this acquaintance was a friend, so she seemed to be quite hurt by this.
After that, she had no choice but to live alone with Rain-chan. After Rain-chan was born, she became attached to her and could not let her go.
She found the meaning of life in raising Rain-chan.
She earned her daily living by doing work that anyone outside the ranks of the Commercial Guild and the Adventurer's Guild could do.
Even so, when life was difficult or when she needed mana potion to regain her health, she would sell her body to get by.
However, one day, the nobleman who found out that she was alive and giving birth to a child sent an assassin at her. Although it may be called an assassin, it is still a thug in town...
She ends up escaping the royal capital and wandering around, barely escaping with her life.
She continued to travel from town to town, working or selling her body, but a year ago, when she had become too old looking to sell her body and could no longer earn money, she applied for the pioneer village in this Baron territory.
It was half a year ago that she arrived here.
After arriving in this village, she made a living doing housework for a one-man household in the village and helping take care of the fields.
But she collapsed three days ago.
And now I am treating her.
To be honest, as soon as I saw the [Things I Don't Want to See], I almost cried.
The [God's Eye] doesn't just see.
I can see the emotions of that moment. It's pretty painful...
I held Maria's hand tightly.
I pray that she will not lead an unhappy life from now on...
Thanks for the update
