Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 289

 Right now, I am in the room of Lady Glea, the wife of Sir Garb Landall, the magistrate of the city of Sol, performing the "Blessing of Mira" while sitting on her lap.

"When I received this before, I was lying down on the bed... But is it alright to do it this way now?"

"Yes, that's correct. It is said that doing it part by part as before is more effective, but it takes a lot of time... Except for those who can dedicate a significant amount of Sera-sama's time, like Her Majesty the Queen or Seriana-sama, we are using this method now. But please don't worry. I have attended many healing sessions before, and everyone has been satisfied."

Teresa reassures Glea, who is surprised by the difference from before.

Meanwhile, I remain silent, under the pretense of focusing on the healing.

I try to find some topic for conversation, but... I can't find anything.

The room is quite ordinary, apart from being a little spacious, with both a bedroom and a reception area. There are no notable furnishings.

If I had to point something out, it would be the two paintings on the wall. One is a painting of Mira’s Judgment, which most married noblewomen possess, and the other is a family portrait.

Considering that she hasn't gained weight, has tanned skin, and her hands are rough, she might be helping with the outdoor work.

Modest and diligent.

That's all I can deduce, and I have no idea how to use this information.

"Lady Glea, it seems your hands are a bit rough... The nail polish that Sera-sama uses has a healing effect on nails and the skin around your fingertips. It’s made from herbs cultivated here in this town, so why not give it a try?"

"Oh my...! Could the town apothecary make it too?"

Teresa skillfully steers the conversation in a direction that piques Glea’s interest, even though we’re working with the same information.

Unlike Eizen, I’m not really bothered by this... But my conversation skills are terrible... The conversations of noblewomen in this world are a complete mystery to me, even more so than in my previous life.

Studying... I don't want to do that!

I'll aim to avoid conversations as much as possible!

◇

After finishing the healing session, we were seen off by her husband, the magistrate, and left the town.

Although our stay was short, less than two hours, there was a reason we made this detour besides taking a break.

What I confirmed once again in the Zelkis territory's capital is that my "Blessing of Mira" has considerable value.

And it seems that people want me to perform the healing willingly, rather than through force or money.

They approached me cautiously, trying not to upset me.

It's probably because they don't fully understand my preferences... It’s thanks to Seriana's guidance. When I tell her about this, she'll no doubt be smug, saying, "Just as planned..."

Well, that's beside the point.

While I’ve performed healing on some of Seriana's guests in the capital, I haven’t done so for the wives of the magistrates of the various towns.

Even though they might have guards, noblewomen don't often venture outside town alone, and their husbands, the magistrates, can’t easily leave the towns they're in charge of. It would be awkward if people thought others from different territories could receive healing but they couldn’t.

Seriana was probably mindful of this when she suggested I might use a visit to Zelkis as a chance to rest. Though, thanks to the "Hideaway," it had become unnecessary. Still, it’s important to take care of the details.

When I discussed this with Teresa, she suggested, "In that case, let's stop by on the way back. It will be an unplanned visit, but I'll handle it."

She's a reliable deputy.

There are three more towns between here and the capital. I won’t visit them this time, but I’d like to stop by them gradually in the future.

"Alright, let’s pick up the pace from here. It shouldn’t take more than three hours, so we should arrive before sunset."

"Okay. Well, even if we’re late, we can rest anywhere, so let's not push ourselves too hard."

I hold on tightly as I reassure Teresa, who is slightly concerned about the time.

From here, there are several mountains and forests, but... instead of taking the detour along the main road, we’ll probably cut straight through them...
