Thinking about it, it seems that besides the members of the Saintess Squad, she doesn't really know anyone else. ±√÷＜
The group of heroes who had originally helped her repair the house had long since left, so Elsa wasn't surprised that the others were unwilling to help.
Because we're not familiar with each other.
The reason the hero left was that his top priority was protecting humanity and defeating the demons; he was only helping out temporarily.
Since it's about helping out, there will naturally be staff turnover.
Elsa had no intention of leaving, firstly because she genuinely wanted to rebuild the town, and secondly because she was responsible for guarding the area.
As for her original village, she has no plans to return for the time being.
Originally, she planned to return to the village after she learned that she did not have any special illness.
But before returning to the village, she settled many matters concerning the [Sword Hero].
Using the pretext of wanting to repay An'i's kindness, he obtained some information from the believers.
For example... the fact that An's mother was also named Elsa.
From that moment on, she secretly made a decision in her heart—
Okay, I won't go back to the village.
From now on, I will live as "Elsa" and I must never let the Sword Hero know my real name!
If the other person finds out that I share the same name as their mother... I would feel an indescribable sense of shame!
It's as shameful as having people find out that you can even misspell your own name!
She also inquired around and found out that everyone in the village was safe.
That village was where the Saintess Squad first fought against the demons, attracting many people to "visit the holy site".
After the Slime King died, the ordinary slimes migrated to other places. In addition, Elsa cleared out a large number of slimes, so the village was basically safe.
Some of the previously unemployed went to big cities, while others stayed and started businesses in the tourism industry, so there's practically no need to worry about them.
“Ha…” Elsa sighed, put the letter back in the envelope, and then put it in her pocket.
I really need to learn how to read!
But before that, let's find someone who can read the letter.
Everyone around is busy, even the believers here are helping the residents, so it's better not to bother them.
In short, go to the Hero Alliance first. The people there are there to help heroes, so they shouldn't refuse if you read a letter to them.
……
After more than half a month of travel, Maiti finally found out and arrived in the city where his sister lived.
After proving his identity, he stood in front of the Hero Alliance, waiting for the believers to bring Ruby to him.
On one side of the Hero Alliance, a carriage was parked quietly.
Mati clenched his fists nervously, his heart filled with complex emotions—anger, melancholy, and excitement at the prospect of reunion.
After Ruby left a few words and departed, he never imagined that his sister, who was too afraid to even leave the house, would leave in this way.
At the very least, he should be made to prepare a carriage and bring a change of clothes and daily necessities before going out, right?
There are also materials for making dolls!
He had prepared the materials properly, but when he came back, his sister was gone!
"I'm taking her home today no matter what!"
He didn't want to see his sister die at the hands of demons, just like his parents!
Wearing a mask and hood, Mati gazed into the distance in the direction the believers had just left.
He specifically instructed the believer not to reveal his identity, and told Ruby that someone important was looking for her.
Ruby snuck out, and if he revealed his presence to her, she definitely wouldn't want to see him.
He had to hide his appearance before meeting Ruby, otherwise she would run away as soon as she saw him from afar.
The heroes' temporary dormitory is very close to the Hero Alliance, making it convenient for believers to serve the heroes and for the heroes to come to the Hero Alliance for consultation and assistance.
It's called a consultation, but it's really just asking where I should go to help out each day.
If the previous day's work wasn't finished, continue; if it was finished, go and ask where the next place that needs rebuilding is.
Ruby stayed in her dorm, busy with her own things, and was relatively easy to find among the heroes.
Not long after, the believer brought her over.
Ruby followed behind the believer, her eyes vacant, like a walking corpse.
It's not that anything's wrong, I'm just thinking about the dolls.
"Zero's" expedition did indeed help her gain experience points, and the level increase granted her new skills, allowing her to create dolls that were more lifelike.
She was wondering what features the next autonomous doll should have.
As for whether someone important was calling her out, she didn't hear a thing.
She only came out when the believers called her out.
On the other side, Maiti finally got to see his sister whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
The moment he saw the other person, Maggie froze.
Is that...my own older sister?!
Mati could hardly believe his eyes. The moment he saw the other person, his heart raced because of her beauty.
In his memory, his sister had always been a slovenly figure, with her long hair that always dragged on the ground in a messy and frizzy manner.
But now, it seems he can only recognize his sister by her long, black, waterfall-like hair.
Where did that sister who always had dark circles under her eyes, a hunched back, and a sallow complexion go?!
Was my sister always this beautiful?!
As her strength increased, Ruby's physique also changed.
Previously, my hunched back was due to stiff and atrophied muscles, but now I am in a very healthy and strong state, and my body has naturally straightened up.
Somaiti was even a little hesitant to acknowledge his sister.
Q: "...No!"
He shook his head.
We must get my sister out of here today! We need to get her back to the safe big city!
The follower led Ruby closer, bowed slightly to Metti, and then walked away silently, leaving the time to the two of them.
The people around my uncle also noticed what was going on and wondered what was happening.
At that moment, Maggie stepped forward towards Ruby, removing his hood and mask: "Sister, it's me."
Ruby, who was still lost in thought, was startled when she saw the person in front of her and instinctively wanted to run away.
But then he remembered that he had already run that route once, so he grinned and nodded with a stiff smile: "Ah... it's Maggie, what's up?"
She knew without asking that this younger brother definitely wanted her to go home.
"Sister, let's go home," Mai Ti said solemnly.
6 Ruby: "..."
really!
"I don't want to go back..." Ruby grabbed two strands of hair in front of her, hiding her face in the hair, her voice lacking confidence.
She also knew that because her parents died at the hands of the demons, her younger brother didn't want her to stay in such a dangerous place.
She understood her brother's feelings, but...
She has things she wants to do.
"Is that all? I came here just because you said you didn't want to go back, and then you turned around and left?"
Do you know how worried I am about you?! Do you know how afraid I am that if you leave, I'll never find you again?!
I'm scared, I'm scared that when I see you again you'll be lying in your grave!
Do you know how I've been coping lately?!
I searched for you day and night, not because I wanted you to say you didn't want to go back!
Hearing Ruby's extremely perfunctory answer, Mickey finally couldn't hold back and exploded.
He unleashed all the fear and suffering he had endured for the past two weeks into a burst of anger.
What did he do wrong?! He just didn't want his sister to die!
"Ugh..." Ruby's eyes stung, and two tears welled up. She wanted to say something, but her throat felt like it was choked, and she couldn't utter a single word.
The surrounding heroes and believers could only watch silently; this was their own affair, and they couldn't speak up for either side.
Mickey realized his lapse in composure, frowned, and grunted. He reached out to pull Ruby along, saying, "Let's go, sister, get in the carriage, we're going back."
“I won’t…!” Ruby took a half step back.
"Your only skill is making puppets, so why not do it anywhere? Why do you have to stay in such a dangerous place?" Maggie questioned.
He noticed when he came to this town that it was under reconstruction, and it wasn't even completely finished yet.
I asked around and learned that goblins had once invaded this area and destroyed two-thirds of the town. (Qi)
Without a doubt, this is an extremely dangerous area. (Six)
My sister absolutely cannot stay here!
"I... well, I stayed here because I wanted to!" Ruby didn't know how to express her thoughts.
Although she is currently spending all her time in her room, she doesn't want to actually stay in her room all the time!
After arriving here, she experienced things that she could never have done in her entire life if she had stayed in her room.
She admitted she wasn't really involved, but being in the world of heroes was definitely better than being in that dark basement at home!
“I’ll stay in a safe place… so don’t lock me up again…” Ruby’s voice trailed off, until it was almost only audible to Matt.
