Running the Romance Fantasy with Baby Cash – Episode 276

☆ Episode 276 ☆

I was just about to take a closer look when it happened.

“What’s wrong?”

I turned around at the nudge and saw Raphael. He shrugged.

“You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

“No, over there—”

I pointed and turned my head again, but I couldn’t find any trace of the person I’d seen.

I looked all around, but they were gone.

“Over there?”

“…It’s nothing.”

Did I imagine it?

‘Come to think of it, I’ve been really busy lately.’

I rubbed my eyes.

I’d been catching up on a backlog of work thanks to Actshereken’s [likely a magical item or ability] recovery of my stamina, so I guess my eyes were getting blurry.

“Are you tired?”

“Yeah, a little.”

Raphael stared at me intently before blurting out,

“Being a Saintess doesn’t suit you at all.”

“What?”

Why was he picking a fight all of a sudden?

“Look at your clothes. All white and frilly.”

“Everyone told me it suits me well.”

“Huh? Are they blind? And what’s with this crown? It looks heavy.”

“This isn’t plated; it’s solid gold. The weight of gold is the weight of happiness. The heavier, the better.”

Raphael chuckled at my words.

“You’re someone who grew up with every advantage, to the point where you could build a castle out of gold. Why are you always like this?”

“Tsk, tsk, you’re foolish. The more money, the better.”

I wiggled my fingers, teaching Raphael the truth of life.

Raphael shook his head, then frowned at me again.

“It really doesn’t suit you.”

Ugh.

“You’re someone who sprawls out on the grass, doesn’t care what others think, and eats whatever you want.”

No, when was that…….

When we were young, during the preliminary rounds of the Dawn Festival, Raphael and I used to lie in the grass and skip out often.

The memories of that time came back to me.

“Raphael.”

It’s strange.

Raphael, who used to be similar to me, has grown so much that I have to look up to him.

Plus, maybe it’s because he’s a Sword Master [a highly skilled swordsman], but his shoulders are broad, and he looks like a complete adult man.

Raphael’s face looked like a sulky child who didn’t like something.

Eventually, a smile appeared on my face.

I think I know why Raphael said it doesn’t suit me.

“Aww, is our Pael upset because it looks like his noona [older sister, used affectionately] is having a hard time?”

“Hey!”

“Did Paeli’s heart hurt? So you were being grumpy? You couldn’t be honest, so you were being mean, saying it doesn’t suit me?”

“You’re dead.”

Raphael gritted his teeth, but I could see he wasn’t really angry.

I chuckled.

“Definitely. If I become a Saintess, I’ll have more work and more restrictions because of what others think. There are more things to be aware of.”

“…….”

“But I’ve always been like this.”

I smiled at Raphael.

Since I came to the capital, I’ve always lived a life where people’s attention is focused on me.

“Just because one more title has been added here doesn’t mean anything will change.”

“But the Saintess is—”

Raphael was about to say something but then smiled.

It was a smile quite similar to the one I had given him.

“…Okay, you’ll do well on your own.”

“Of course, of course.”

“But if it’s hard, tell me.”

Seeing Raphael looking away as if he was a little embarrassed, my playful side suddenly came out.

“Hmm? If I tell you? Will you have the Saintess deposed?”

“It’s not like it can’t be done.”

“Oh, I’m nervous? Am I going to become disgraced?”

“Isn’t it pretty good? There hasn’t been a Saintess who has been dishonorably 퇴진 [resigned/stepped down].”

We looked at each other and giggled.

“Don’t worry. Even if I become a Saintess, I’m living the way I want to.”

“What, how long has it been since you were inaugurated? An hour or two?”

“I just made the priests work overtime.”

In my dictionary, there is no benevolent, kind, and sacrificial Saintess.

There is only a blood-iron administrative Saintess who grinds people left and right!

“The priests?”

I proudly nodded my head, clearing my throat.

“…I chose the wrong person to worry about.”

No, is he?

“Do you want to do some work too? I’m curious about the stamina of a Sword Master. How many days can you stay up all night?”

“…I was wrong.”

* * *

Teracne Square, which is connected by a straight line from the main gate of the Imperial Palace and the main street.

You can tell from this great location, but Teracne Square is the largest, most populated, and most visited by tourists among the many squares in the capital.

In addition, many rituals are held here, giving it a symbolic meaning.

Anyway, it’s famous.

As soon as I arrived at Teracne Square, I felt awkward and fixed my hat for no reason.

‘I’m going crazy.’

Of course, all of Dana’s works are masterpieces that transcend time.

What kind of kid is our Dana?

She’s a painter who will be stamped 쾅! [onomatopoeia for a stamp] in the history books!

Everyone would want to hang Dana’s paintings and show them off.

I understand.

‘But why hang a portrait of my face of all things! There are landscape paintings too!’

Ta-da!

Right now, my face was hanging in front of me like a billboard.

It’s not just a portrait.

It was a sacred painting with a halo shining brightly behind me.

I unknowingly stepped back from my portrait.

‘It wasn’t like this with Liliel. Why are you hanging a sacred painting here?’

But.

“Saintess, please save us.”

There were even people praying to my portrait next to me.

“……?!”

I was so surprised that I almost shouted 왁! [onomatopoeia for a shout]

I pressed down on my pounding heart.

Dana’s paintings contain magic.

People must have felt moved, relieved, or warmed whenever they saw this painting.

‘So I guess they’re praying…….’

I had mentioned in the notification window before that this painting had a special effect.

[The sacred painting filled with Dana’s artistic spirit and love has a special effect!]

[The sacred painting filled with Dana’s artistic spirit and love is hung in Teracne Square!]

[Teracne Square is the central square of the capital!]

[Dana’s painting becomes a totem!]

[Due to the totem effect, your influence on the Empire receives an additional effect of 10%!]

It’s embarrassing, but it’s a huge effect!

I liked it while saying 一.

Seeing it in person, it wasn’t just embarrassing.

‘Even because of this effect, there are even people praying一.’

“……Therefore, how about a spicy hot flavor for the next chicken, Saintess? I am now talking to you in my heart, Saintess. Well, the next chicken is a spicy hot flavor…….”

No, you’re not just talking in your heart; you’re just saying it directly.

‘……What kind of prayer is that?’

It was a bit absurd, but I nodded again一.

The seasoned chicken I was selling was a sweet and sour seasoned chicken with a lot of ketchup.

‘Hot chicken would be worth praying for.’

Sounds delicious.

As I swallowed my 침 [saliva] and nodded, I saw the person who had been yearning for hot chicken was about to turn his head towards me, as if he had sensed my gaze.

“……!”

I was so surprised that I quickly turned my head away.

Fortunately, he didn’t notice.

As I pressed down on my hat for no reason, I felt a gaze staring at me intently.

I glanced over there, and my eyes met a man’s.

I pretended not to know and turned my head away.

Even so, I felt the gaze following me so intensely that it stung.

‘……Is he still looking?’

I glanced over there, and our eyes met again right away.

I had met his eyes several times, but it was a bit much to pretend not to know again.

‘Does he have something to say to me?’

Honestly, well, I’ve experienced this a lot.

I looked around a bit and approached the man, asking quietly.

“Uh, should I bless you?”

I don’t really have divine power, but I’ve heard that request a lot.

But the man’s face became strange.

‘Is it not a blessing?’

Then一.

“Should I sign it for you?”

“…….”

The man’s smooth face crumbled.

He narrowed his eyes and scanned me up and down.

As if looking at a crazy person.

The man still didn’t say anything, but I could tell.

He had never wanted my autograph even once.

[Puh!]n
‘Shut up.’

[Si.gn.it.for.you?]

[Pwahahahahahah!!!!]

Ha.

‘If I meet you later, you’re dead.’

[Are you going to sign for me when we meet?]

[I won’t refuse. Don’t get hurt.]

‘I can’t help it! After becoming a Saintess, there have been so many people who have made this request to me!’

Embarrassing!

I asked the man with my lips sticking out.

“Then why are you staring at people like that?”

He opened his mouth as if to say something, then frowned and pressed his lips tightly.

The way he was looking at me…….

Before I could even read the meaning of that gaze, the man turned away from me.

He hadn’t moved a few steps, but thanks to his long legs, he quickly disappeared.

“What…….”

I’ll see all sorts of strange people.

‘Then why did he stare at people like that?’

At that time, someone poked my cheek.

“What’s wrong? Your cheeks are puffy.”

“Sid.”

I grabbed Sid’s hand tightly and admired his face for a moment.

“Is there something on my face?”

“No.”

I’m just healing.

Looking at handsome people makes me feel comfortable.

As I smiled, a smile gradually spread across Sid’s face as well.

He looked up and looked at my portrait hanging in the square.

“Dana drew me too sacredly.”

As I made excuses for no reason, Sid looked back and forth between my face and the painting before blurting out.

“I think this one is more sacred.”

“……?”

“Because the master’s words are the doctrine I must follow.”

“What.”

I poked Sid with my elbow.

At that moment, Sid turned around quickly.

“What’s wrong?”

“I felt a gaze.”

“……?”

I craned my neck beyond Sid, but there was no one there.

‘Could it be that man from before?’

Was it because the gaze that had been staring at me was so intense?

I had that thought.

‘That can’t be. That side is the opposite direction from where that man disappeared.’

I was thinking that when Sid suddenly fixed my hat.

“Why?”

“I thought people kept looking because you were too pretty.”

Ugh.

It’s not something I, who am always cheesy, should say.

Sid is really 참 [genuine/true].

Ha 참.

“……Only with words?”

As I blinked my eyes and pretended to be pretty for no reason, Sid reached out to my hat.

A hat with a large brim covered the two of us.

Kiss.

Our lips touched.

Time flew by.

[Congratulations!]

[If you hadn’t stepped in, this fire would have lasted for more than a month.]

In the meantime, I have solved many problems as a Saintess.

‘Hmm, no matter how I think about it, the role of the Saintess doesn’t seem right for me.’

When these disasters happen, usually the Saintess heals and cares for people with her powerful divine power, right?

But I was diligently doing administrative work.

In addition, the priests were also diligently rolling along with me.

‘It’s a bit strange when they roll, though.’

The way they were subtly happy reminded me of Duke Dier…….

Hmm.

Let’s stop thinking about it because it feels creepy for some reason.

It was then.

[Your influence on the Paeraton territory is at its maximum.]

[The duchy is completely in your hands!]

[You can know the crisis in my palm right away!]

[You can know the crisis in the Paeraton territory in advance with a certain probability.]

‘Why are you suddenly telling me this?’

This is something I’ve known since a long time ago.

I was able to predict that the Black Death would be prevalent thanks to this ability.

‘Wait.’

Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind, and I 벌떡 [suddenly/abruptly] got up from my seat.

‘Dad!’
