Inside the Church, a vibrant green light emanated from Stark.
At this moment, Sein was fully dedicated to treating Stark.
The treatment had been going on for a long time.
"How is the situation?"
Frieren furrowed her brow and gently walked up to Sein to ask.
The reason for not asking Sein, of course, was concern about affecting the treatment.
"The situation is bad..."
Sein's face was grim, completely lacking the relaxed ease he had shown when meeting everyone earlier.
"The moment this child's nose started bleeding, I knew he must have been poisoned by the Naked Horn Serpent snake..."
"Naked Horn Serpent snake?"
Frieren leaned her body back slightly.
"You know this snake?"
Yulian had approached at some point. Seeing Frieren's reaction, Yulian's heart also tightened.
After all, he had never heard of this snake's name before.
And... Naked Horn Serpent...
This snake's name sounds quite improper, alright...
If it weren't for Frieren's reaction and the priest's serious expression in front of him, Yulian would have thought the priest was joking with him...
"No."
Frieren shook her head and said with a pout.
"It just sounds very powerful."
"Anyway..."
Sein smiled slightly.
"Just knowing it's a very potent venomous snake is enough."
"Also, although the toxin is very strong, under Sein's treatment..."
"The situation has clearly improved a lot."
Sein said, leading their gazes towards Stark.
As expected, Stark's nosebleed had completely stopped at this moment.
Furthermore, Stark's eyes trembled slightly before slowly opening.
"You... are?"
Stark opened his heavy, sleepy eyes. What came into view was a bearded blond man... currently pressing on his chest?
"Ah!"
"What are you doing!"
After shouting in surprise, Stark frantically waved his limbs, stood up from the bench, and hid to the side.
"Hey!"
Sein looked at the panicking Stark, his handsome face, so attractive it seemed to shed charm, couldn't help but wrinkle up.
It was as if he had done something outrageous!
"Why!"
"Why is there a creepy old man doing this to me..."
Stark covered his chest and looked at everyone with a tearful expression.
"Cough cough!"
Yulian was highly amused by this reaction. He couldn't help but start coughing.
"Stark... he saved you."
Fern slowly walked up to Stark and began to explain.
"So you mean after I was bitten by the venomous snake, you brought me here..."
"And he saved me?"
Under Fern's explanation, Stark gradually sorted things out, and his face couldn't help but turn red.
"I'm sorry, old man..."
"I misunderstood you..."
Stark scratched his head and apologized sheepishly to Sein.
"What old man!"
"I'm still very young, alright!"
Sein covered his face and waved his hand helplessly.
"Forget it, since you are my saviors, I won't bother arguing with you."
"Savior... savior?"
Stark stared blankly at Sein.
But Sein didn't pay attention, he just smiled faintly and walked towards the outside of the Church.
"Brother, I'm going to the square to help out."
Sein's figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Yulian watched Sein's appearance of leaving after saving someone, lightly brushing his sleeves, not taking away a single cloud, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
It was simply... incredibly cool!
"Is he cured now?"
Frieren checked Stark's condition and couldn't help but widen her pupils slightly.
This kind of healing ability...
"It's very impressive, Mistress Frieren."
Sein looked at the slowly closing door of the Church and spoke calmly.
"You know me?"
Frieren looked at Sein with confusion.
"Mm..."
"The elf Mage of the legendary Hero's party, Mistress Frieren."
Sein nodded, smiling faintly.
"I heard Priest Heiter mention you."
Then Sein continued to ask.
"What do you think of my brother?"
"That is, the person from just now."
"That person from just now..."
Frieren lowered her head and thought for a moment. Just as she was about to answer, her gaze accidentally caught sight of the golden holy emblem hanging around Sein's neck, and she was slightly shocked again.
"To be able to cure a terminal illness that even you, the most outstanding priest in this region, cannot cure..."
"He is undoubtedly a natural genius."
"Is that so? As expected, even Mistress Frieren, you think my brother is a genius?"
Sein held the holy emblem hanging around his neck in his hand and smiled knowingly.
"This holy emblem of mine was personally bestowed upon me by Priest Heiter during his inspection..."
"But I know very well..."
"Even I, the most outstanding monk in this area, cannot compare to my brother."
Sein murmured, looking in the direction Sein had left.
"I am just an ordinary village monk, but Sein's talent far surpasses mine. He shouldn't stay in this ordinary village living an ordinary life like me."
"What do you mean?"
Frieren looked at Sein thoughtfully, seemingly having already guessed his intentions.
"Our parents passed away early. I raised Sein, who is much younger than me, by myself..."
"His dream since childhood has been to become an adventurer and travel the world..."
"I also firmly believe that this kind of ordinary life is definitely not what he likes..."
"So I hope you can take him with you on your journey."
Sein lowered his eyebrows, recalling. After the recollection ended, he looked at Frieren with a pleading gaze.
"He is an excellent monk. I believe he can definitely help you during your journey."
...
Frieren fell silent.
Yulian also fell silent.
Looking at Frieren, who was lowering her head, showing a look of recollection.
Yulian knew that the matter of him being overshadowed would definitely be brought up again in Frieren's memories...
[Frieren, let's go and defeat the Demon King together.]
Sunlight, flowers, Forest.
In the Forest, under the sunlight, the gentle blue-haired Hero extended his hand and invited Frieren, who was kneeling in the flowerbed in front of him.
[It's already too late.]
Frieren didn't look up, she just continued to admire the flowers in front of her.
[But,]
Seemingly noticing Himmel's confusion.
Frieren explained to herself.
[I haven't fought for five hundred years,]
[Now, I've probably even forgotten how to fight,]
[I've put it off for too, too long without making up my mind,]
[Thinking about it now, I must have been afraid of fighting the Demon King. The long years of the past have made all of this irreversible...]
[I definitely won't be like you,]
[So what?]
Himmel smiled and interrupted Frieren's self-pity, looking gently and seriously at the petite Frieren kneeling in the flowerbed in front of him.
[Frieren, what I'm talking to you about—is the present!]
When Frieren looked up, a slight smile curving at the corner of her mouth.
Yulian knew that he had probably become the 'green leaf' (supporting character) once again.
Frieren's lips curved into a smile, and she gave Sein a definite answer.
"I will go and try."
