The members of the Grand Duke's residence welcomed Gremory to stay with them.
"Mori! I also thought my only friend was going to be taken to the Great Temple! Ah!
"Miss! I'm glad we can stay together!"
Gremory's back and forth was clinging to Isolene and Anna, caught in the middle. Gremory felt the heat and thought.
"To be honest, I didn't mind going to the Great Temple."
Her goal is to escape the gaze of the witch chasers. To do that, there is a better place than the Grand Palace. No one would think that witches would live in a place they hate.
In order to go to the Great Shrine, the blood had to turn as clear as water during the ceremony, but it could be manipulated as much as it wanted. You can cast a spell on the priests and the mind of the Chession.
'But why didn't I do that? Why did I decide to stay here even after drinking holy water?'
And why are their smiling faces so joyful, so much trampled on in her eyes?
She could see the face of the abbess running towards her with a loving smile in the distance, and the bright smiles of the nuns who followed behind her
This strange feeling wasn't the first time.
When Chession showed her a beautiful view of the city, he also showed her a view of the verdant forest.
The beauty of the human world.
'We are happy to be together, we live as a family, we like each other... Is that all
characteristic of the human world?'
To like something was an expression that she couldn't get out of her head. But in my heart, she had to admit it. They were clearly liking her.
'And do I really like the people here? Is that why I chose to stay here? I don't know, but it feels weird.'
She felt something gurgling up to her chin. Gremory swallowed it forcibly, pulling Isolene and Anna away from the front and back of her.
"It's hot. Stay away."
"What a feeling! We almost fell apart for a year! I'm glad I didn't fall, so why don't you accept me?"
"...That's right! The young lady is so indifferent! Isn't it time to open your hearts? The table I prepared for you is just a few meals!"
"!"
Gremory looked up at Iris with a puzzled face. She asked her how she should react in this case.
- Say you're sorry. You also said that you were just insensitive in nature, but not that you didn't have affection.
"I'm sorry, it's because my personality is Insensitive. It's not that I don't have affection."
Gremory repeated Iris's words stiffly. Then Isolene and Anna's expressions gradually relaxed.
"Haha. Yes. It's not like we'll see you for a day or two. That's how your personality is."
"Yes. We'll understand it in particular. Miss Mori should also understand if there is less meat on the table in the future."
Gremory looked at Iris again. Guys, it seems that it is still not solved yet.
- Whew. Tell them that you drank holy water because you wanted to stay with them.
"I actually drank holy water because I wanted to stay with you."
This time, the effect was excellent. Their faces brightened up at once.
"Oh, was that the case? I also thought it was because you were Ignorant and simple... No, I thought it was naive!"
"I'll give you plenty of meat as usual!"
In this way, Gremory learned for the first time how to soothe the crooked humans.
Gremory, who had always been hated in the demon world, was surprised by this situation.
'It is possible to release human anger. And everyone definitely likes me.'
She didn't give them anything, so why do they like her so much? In the Demon World, everyone hated her for no reason.
Somewhere in Gremory's hazy mind, she could clearly see the smiling faces of Isolene and Anna.
***
Gremory returned to her usual life. A similar routine continued for a few days. She worked with Isolene on paperwork, and when shr got tired of just writing down Iris's words, she ran away and got lazy.
Sitting and scribbling for hours was the worst. The paperwork was even more horrible because it was not something that could be easily solved by a witch.
When she got tired of laziness, shr walked around the convent. Sometimes, when she was frustrated, she would come forward to help the sisters.
Her main job was to train the patients.
"Ahh... Enemies are coming! Ugh... Everyone retreat!"
A patient who had drunk alcohol in broad daylight and had injured his leg by falling went on a rampage. The nuns were embarrassed by the large male patient who was busy. Gremory then stepped in and overpowered the patient with force.
"Ugh! It's an elephant! The elephant is above me!"
"Shut your mouth. If you don't want to be trampled to death by an elephant."
The patient became quiet. The nuns quickly sprayed the 'Beauty's Potion' on the patient's leg.
Next, a small child fell and sprained his wrist while playing ball. The child said he was scared and hid his wrist behind his back and cried.
Gremory treated the child without any mercy.
"Hands come out."
"I don't like it! It's scary!"
"Kid. Do you see the people lining up behind you? Everyone is waiting for their turn. If you don't get treatment right now, I'll have to send you to the back for those who are waiting. Do you want to wait in line until sunset?"
"Hey, here."
The little boy stuck out his swollen wrist. Gremory sprayed the beauty's potion on the child's wrist. His swollen wrist returned to normal before the potion could reach him.
The child's mother bowed her head to Gremory in joy.
"I heard that it was Mori who passed on the secret of this great potion to the convent. Thank you for allowing us to quickly heal sick people. I was grateful for your willingness to come forward during the mine Incident. One of the rescued miners was a relative of mine."
"You're thanking me, so hurry up and take your child. I'm busy."
Feeling proud, Gremory waved her hands to restrain the corners of her mouth from wriggling.
"Hoho, yes. Oh, by the way, do you know about the Lores family Incident on Hesse's 2nd Avenue?"
"What do you mean? I'm busy."
"I... Actually, I was wondering if Mori would come forward and give it to them. Mori is called the fixer of the Grand Duke of Ethel these days. Anyway, a very strange incident happened. Oh, if you're very busy, I'll talk less and go."
As the woman was about to take the child away, Gremory sighed heavily and called her.
"What's going on? Let's hear it."
"No. Don't worry about it. The police have already solved the murder case, but there are still a lot of strange things about it, and there are a lot of rumors circulating. People were worried about the rumor, so I talked about it."
"Hmph. I'm not a lazy person enough to care about gossip."
She's a lazy witch. But she asked her to come forward only because of the rumors circulating in the streets. Steaming Gremory turned around and went to make a potion.
After making the potion, there was nothing to do. It was because there were almost no patients. The news that the terrifying Miss Mori was subduing the patients had spread all the time.
And Iris, who came to see the rumor, came to arrest Gremory.
"Miss Mori! You're here today! Right now, Isolene is coming here to catch Miss Mori."
- Miss Mori sneaked away, so Isolene had to handle all the overtime work by herself
"Hmm... really? If I get caught, I'll be in trouble."
- Right? One minute. You don't want to run away again, are you?
"Of course, I have to run away. Isn't that how Isolene will do all the overtime work by herself? I'll come in when s done with work."
- My god. Weren't you two friends? Friends should help each other... Where are you going?
"On Hesse 2nd Avenue. I heard that something very serious happened there. I need to solve the case right away for the safety of the Grand Duke."
Gremory, who didn't want to do the paperwork even if it was dead, gladly decided to take it away. If shr walks around until dinner, Isolene will take care of her overtime work wonderfully.
"If Isolene gets angry, I can say that I've come to solve people's urgent requests."
Gremory, who had turned into a cat, moved her little paws eagerly and walked as well. Iris sighed heavily and followed Gremory. She thought she should follow her around and gently soothe her, and send her home.
In front of the Lores family's house on Hesse 2nd Avenue, something unexpectedly serious seemed to have happened there. She saw people arguing in front of the Lores mansion, which had a dreary aura.
