Reincarnated as a random race, of course I got goblin.

Chapter 97 - One and All

I finish with the last villager before turning to the Acolyte that's been following behind me as I've been administering treatments. "Now you." I tell her as I move to cast Miracure on her as well.

"Ah- T-that's not necessary- I'm fine! You should save your strength in case those in the Hunters Guild need help as well." She protests. 

"Miss, you've been hacking up your lungs at the slightest provocation. You're ill and you might die if I do not treat you." I give her a stern look that causes her to shrink away. "Besides, only those suffering from severe starvation would need my treatment, and you said yourself that they had food at the Hall." I add.

She fidgets a bit with the hem of her sleeves before nodding slowly. "I'll graciously accept your help, then." She closes her eyes as I cast Miracure on her, causing her body to glow as the Spell gets to work. 

"There, I'm sure you're feeling much better now. Let's go see the hunters now." I nod in satisfaction, smirking internally at how shocked the Acolyte is at her improvement. 

"Uh- Ah, yes. You'd want me along so that there's no misunderstandings, right?" Her voice has cleared up considerably, losing the raspiness it had before. If I hadn't cured her, I suspect she'd be dead before spring came. 

I nod to her before beginning to move towards the doors of the church. The Yuki-Onna has already cleared a path between the Church and Hall as well as begun unburying the Hall itself from the snow. 

As we approach the Hall, a face peeks out of a window located on the second floor of the building. It's a male Minars, his face ruddy and beard unkempt. "Hoi! It's not safe out there! There's a Yuki-Onna on the loose!" He shouts at us, not realizing who I am since I'm still in humanoid form. 

"Do not worry, Guild Master! It's the Servant of the Monarch, she's here to help the village!" The Acolyte shouts back. The Guild Master furrows his brow, his no doubt narrowed-in-doubt eyes hid behind the standard Minars goggles. 

I can't help but worry that he won't believe her. I can also feel his gaze threatening to bore a hole in me as he stares me down. 

"Honored Guild Master! I am the Monarch. I've been sent here on the orders of His Highness to aid the villages close to my Domain. I wish to know if you require any aid in the form of healing, food or water." I bow to the Minars, reciting my spiel. 

The Yuki-Onna, having finished clearing the snow from the building, arrives at my side, curtsying towards me before bowing before the Guild Master. Seeing this, it seems he's decided, as his expression changes.

"We require food and water, water most urgently. But what of those in the Church? I haven't heard anything from you since Yom left." He asks, worry apparent in his voice. 

"The Monarch used her Skills in order to save them from starvation for now, but we still need food and water urgently. Her plan is to tend to any immediate needs here before heading back to her Domain to gather food from it." The Acolyte informs him, causing him to become ponderous. 

"Give me a moment, I'll come down to you. I fear we need to confront our biggest problem with the help of the Monarch here." He then vanishes from the window. A short moment later, the doors to the Guild Hall are opened. There's a hushed gasp of awe as they see the Acolyte and me standing right next to the Yuki-Onna.

The Guild Master, as well as five hunters kitted out in full gear emerge from the Hall. I must have failed to hide my worry, as the Guild Master tells me; "Don't worry, they're here just for appearances. That worm, Almus, has several bodyguards. They're fairly belligerent, so it's best to have some muscle to act as a deterrent."
