“Mr. Alex! I love you so much! When will you come back next time? Will you stay here today? I don’t care what number I am, so please don’t abandon me!”
“Kate. I can’t stay the night, but I won’t abandon you, and I don’t rank women.”
I was forcefully brought to Julie’s house by Mami and Juli, and after dealing with the three of them, including Kate, until afternoon, they calmed down and I was finally able to talk with them.
I think it’s a big progress because I couldn’t have a conversation with them right after I came to their house.
“That’s right. Little Alex …… Kohon. Mr. Alex. The Merchant’s Guild contacted me yesterday to tell you that they had something to tell you and asked you to come with Rena.”
“The Merchant’s Guild? I wonder what is it. All right. I’ll go there for now.”
“Alex. I’m coming too-pon!”
After hearing Julie’s story, I decided to take Rei’s doll, Rena, to the Merchant’s Guild, but Mami, Julie, and Kate said they would come with me.
I can almost hear them saying, “I’m not going to let you get away” …… but I’m not going to run away, okay? …… I was a little busy, though.
“Welcome …… Ah! Mr. Alex! We have been waiting for you. This way please.”
As soon as we arrived at the merchant’s guild, the female receptionist took us to a private room and served us a drink.
…… I feel like I’m getting better treatment without realizing it, but I wonder what’s going on.
“Mr. Alex, Miss Rena. I would like to discuss something with you both. Frankly speaking, I was wondering if you could sell me some more of those Status-Up Potions you sold me before.”
“Hmm? You said that you were going to consider how to handle those in the merchant’s guild, but have you come to the conclusion that you will sell them?”
“No, that’s not what I meant. It seems that we should not disclose the existence of that potion to the public at this time …… that seems to be the plan.”
“Hm. And yet, you are asking us to sell it …… is there a reason for that?”
“Yes. I can’t give you the details, but a very powerful noblewoman is in trouble, and I’d like to give her a Status-Up Potion to help her out of her predicament.”
At any rate, all I know is that there is a reason for it, but since there are no details, I can’t say for sure.
“It’s great that it’s to help someone, but there are so many things I don’t know from what I’ve heard that it’s hard to say.”
“Hmm. I can’t tell you all about it, but …… have you ever heard of the job called Saint?”
“I’ve only heard that such a job exists, but I’ve never heard anything specific about it. I think I heard that they have some kind of special skill.”
“Yes, that is correct. The saints are even rarer than the heroes, and one of the most famous is the saint of water, who can produce an inexhaustible supply of water and has turned deserts into grasslands …… That kind of anecdote exists too.”
Oh, I think she was often called the “Saintess of 〇 〇” or something like that, or is it a job that specialized in something very specific?
I heard that it is so effective that it is called a miracle.

(T/N: (〇 〇 の 聖女) This is what it says in the raw.)
“The person who has the job of the Saint is having trouble using her skills due to a lack of magical power.”
“I see. If the power of the saint is for the benefit of the people, I would like to cooperate with you, but …… well, is she okay with the charm effect?”
“Well, I think it’s because she’s the saint. I checked the Status-Up Potion with the appraisal skill and found that it does indeed have a charm effect, but she doesn’t seem to be affected by the charm.”
“Oh, so they have resistance to status abnormalities like paladins do. Then it’s safe to drink.”
The name “Saint” suggests that she is a higher-level of paladin or priestess.
“Now that Status-Up Potion made by Mother is now available for sale …… you’ll have a chat with me from now on.”
“P-Please be gentle with me.”
While Julie and I and the others watched in amazement, Rena began negotiating with the woman from the merchant’s guild and won a very large sum of money.
