Chapter 56 – How Salt-San Became Known as the Holy Light [Millia’s POV]

[Millia’s POV]

The adventurer party led by Salt-san was still a B-rank party when the incident occurred.

An unprecedented panic struck the Capital. It was later determined that the cemetery managed by the church had not been properly purified, but now it’s impossible to investigate whether such a thing could truly happen.

I conveyed the urgent request that came into the Adventurer’s Guild to the adventurers.

“We have been informed that a large number of zombie monsters have appeared from the graveyard in the Capital. We ask that all people of each attribute use whatever method they can to exterminate the zombies. Your lives are precious, so please ensure your survival and don’t overexert yourselves!”

It was a terrible incident that struck the entire Capital.

The Kingdom’s Knights had been deployed in a skirmish with a neighboring country, so their response was delayed.

There were also few monsters around the Capital, so adventurers were dispatched to local territories to make up for the absence of the Kingdom’s Knights.

The zombie panic that broke out caused unprecedented chaos for the people living in the Capital.

No matter how expert adventurers were at fighting monsters, they couldn’t deal with the overwhelming lack of numbers.

Furthermore, there was no time to prepare, as it was an emergency situation.

In the midst of the chaos that caused many casualties, one adventurer stepped up.

That was Salt-san.

“I have the Holy attribute. I am immune to the effects of poison from zombies.”

The most troublesome thing about the zombie panic is something called the zombie virus.

It is a death infection unique to the Death attribute that turns those who are bitten into zombies.

The only attribute that can counter this is the Holy attribute.

Salt-san, who was not susceptible to the death infection, threw himself alone into the zombies.

Salt-san went around purifying the zombie hordes that were spreading throughout the Capital. Each time he was captured and pinned down by the zombies, his equipment was torn away, and his body was bitten all over. It was a scene that was surely seen by people throughout the Capital.

“Even if you have the Holy attribute, you’ll die if you receive those many wounds!”

That’s right, while everyone watched Salt-san’s heroics, they also braced themselves for his death. In reality, he suffered numerous attacks, being bitten all over by the zombie horde.

The zombies gathered around Salt-san as if they had a will of their own.

However, what Salt-san did in that state was to purify the zombies by emitting a pale blue light.

Drinking many bottles of magical potions, he repeatedly emitted holy light and purified the zombies.

His clothes were torn and he was bitten all over his body, but he still emitted light.

People who saw that scene exclaimed,

“Holy Light! He’s a Hero who emits Holy Light!”

The pale blue light gradually spread throughout the Capital, and eventually, all the zombies in the Capital were purified.

“Just as expected from Master.”

“Master is so amazing!!”

As the two of them were impressed, a scene came to my mind. After Salt-san had purified all the zombies, he passed out.

When he was found at that time, he was naked and his love stick was pointing up towards the sky.

Adventurers then gossiped that Salt-san’s love stick was standing in a very impressive condition.

I didn’t see it myself, but they said it was quite impressive.

“Wow! Master really is amazing.”

“A love stick? What’s that?”

“It’s too early for you.”

“Eh~? Ao wants to know~”

“I’ll tell you later.”

“That’s a promise!!”

With two beautiful servants under his control, Salt-san will no doubt indulge in his carnal desires to the fullest. I followed Salt-san here, but it looks like I won’t be playing a part.

In the Capital, Salt-san’s two childhood friends and party members had been driving away any women who approached him as they grew closer to him.

Because of my job, I was able to talk with Salt-san, but I was likely under considerable scrutiny.

Because of this, Salt-san once complained to a male adventurer that he was “not popular at all.”

I also tried to approach him indirectly by emphasizing my chest, but Salt-san has always been a serious and gentlemanly person. Honestly, it was really cute when he would shyly avert his gaze.

I couldn’t forget about Salt-san, that’s why I waited for the right time when the Corias territory was short-staffed due to a festival and came here to help around.

But spending time away from Salt-sans means I’ve missed my chance.

“Thank you for sharing all this information.”

“No, I just wanted his current companions to know what an amazing person he is.”

“We are well aware of that.”

“Fufu, Salt-san always works for the benefit of others, no matter where he is.”

“Yes. Um, if you don’t mind me asking…”

“What is it?”

I braced myself at Ruri-san’s serious gaze.

“Millia-san, what do you think of my Master as a man?”

“Eh?!”

“I’m really sorry for asking such a rude question. Actually——”

I was surprised by what Ruri-san told me next, but… In a way, Salt-san’s current situation is very interesting. I couldn’t help but smile as I listened to Ruri-san, thinking that maybe I had a chance too.
