One day, the Kaoru went out to buy ingredients in the market and collided with a vagrant boy.
While looking at the back of the vagrant who runs away, Kaoru put her hand in her waist.
(Oh, the pouch is gone âŚ) (Kaoru)
Yes, that boy is a pickpocket.
Although she looks like a child, Kaoru has come to the market to buy on the market every few days.
Everyone would know from the amount of food she brought that she had reasonable money.
And since she is still a small girl, the boy doesnât need to worry about her can run faster than him catch him.
That vagrant child was probably thinking Kaoru as a good prey.
However, Kaoru had an item box for such a time.
The real pcoket is in the item box.
The pcoket got stolen was just a dummy one pouch. And what inside isâŚ
Kaoru slowly walked to the direction the vagrant boy ran away.
Normally, after stealing he should run to a safe place, stole the contents of the pouch and throwed the pouch away.
Even though there are people who write their names in their pouchs, no one is writing their names in the money inside.
It is so-called evident destroy. Well, soon âŚ
Gyaa~ ah ~ (Boy)
Here it came.
When the Kaoru reached the screaming scene, there was a boy who looked about the same as Kaoru.
It was a child about 11 to 12 years old, he grabbed the right wrist with his left hand and screaming out of agony.
(T.N: Un-related but I canât help thinking of this)
Of course, that boy is the pickpocket.
The boyâs right hand was swollen with an eerie purple.
Thereâs also considerable pain. Because Kaoru made such a medicine.
Looking at Kaoruâs appearance, the boy overflowing with tears like begging for help.
It canât be helped.
Kaoru ordered the boy to take medicine and instructed him to drink.
When he took the medicine, the swelling and pain was cured.
Actually, in case that he escaped, that swelling pain would be cure naturally after a certain amount of time. After suffering considerable pain.
ăIf you dare to steal from God, you will be regret it, get it, Shonen?ă (Kaoru) (T.N: In case you donâs know, Shounen mean young boy/ young man)
ăEr, God âŚ?ă (Boy)
The Kaoru grinned and said.
ăIf you dare to go it again, next time goddessâs punishment wonât be just this degreeă (Kaoru)
ăHiii ~ii!ă (Boy)
The boy is trembling the puts his head against the ground.
Mean while Kaoru is wondering ⌠why was he doing some something like this?
ăSo, why do you have to pickpocket ? ⌠well, thereâs no need to ask, is it?ă (Kaoru)
He canât find anything to eat if he doesnât do something like it.
ăActually, Belâs condition is really bad âŚă (Boy)
Oh, someone got sick?
ăPlease show me aroundă (Kaoru)
ăEhâŚ?ă (Boy)
*** Poor Area *** (slum ?)
And the Boy guides Kaoru to an abandoned shop located at the edge of the poor area.
There are totally seven boys and girls living here, where even the walls also collapsed. When Kaoru asking who are sick or bad health condition, everyone raise their hands.
Yes, of course it was all of them.
ăEveryone, line up!ă (Boy)
The pickpocket boy arranges the children who are confused.
Apparently this child is the oldest. Although 12 years old may be young, but comepare to 15 years old Kaoru that was japanese, he might even look older.
ăOkay, get it in orderă (Kaoru)
Kaoru distributes potions for recovering injuries and diseases and let them drink.
ăOkay, please drink this againă (Kaoru)
This time is a potion that recover the weakened internal organs and muscles, potion of nutrition improvement.
These are different from injuries and diseases, and Kaory didnât like to pack too much effects into one potion, so she divided them into two.
ăEhâŚă (Child 1)
ăMy foot isnât hurtă (Child 2)
ăMy body is light!ă (Child 3)
ăMy heart is not painful âŚă (Child 4)
The children raise their voice of surprise, one after another.
Well, I wonder what to do.
If I leaves those children as they are, they follow their old road again.
However, is it possible to take care of a large number of children when I was just a hired assistant?
If so, I will not come here from the beginning.
Didnât I already decide what to do?
Yes, It isnât bad to ăuse this power for self-defenseă, ăpotions may be useful for someone for a whileăand ăI want to live more freely as I like!ă
Itâs time to start my plan!
A girl named Nagase Kaoru lived by choosing a safe path, avoiding danger.
Well, in the end, she got a strange death due to strange reason, though.
So why should I repeat such a way of life again here?
Rules and safety, even ethics in this world are completely different from Japan?
Even though I got the goddess, but I only use it onăme myself, my family or some close friendsă? And donât get related to any other people?
Such is boring life.
Nagase Kaoru is dead. The me here has a new life, ăKaoruăhas reborn in this world. And this Kaoru was allowed to live freely by the goddess.
From now, I am not theăJapanese Nagase Kaoruăbut ăKaoruăthat will live in this world as I like. I even got goddessâs seal of approval!
ăChildren!ă (Kaoru)
Kaoru put her hands on her waist and stretched her chest.
ăI am Kaoru, a friend of the goddess Celestine, was given discretion from Celestine, I am fully enjoying this world as a human beingă (Kaoru)
Of course, there is no lie.
Children donât seem to understand well.
ăTo put it simple, you can say that I love human beings like youă (Kaoru)
Noisily.
ăSo I am thinking that I should give some kind of blessing to the righteous people, as I did for you just nowă (Kaoru)
At the children who have recovered from their injuries and illnesses. They started to understand the meaning of the miraculous healthy body.
They were move by tears that the goddess give them blessing, they have thought they were being abandoned by like human and being treated like rubbish.
ăBut it is hard to find righteous people who are really in trouble and blessing them. Because right now, I am having a humanâs body.
So here is the deal, arenât you going to help me by becoming my servant?
I will give a healthy body and food in returnă (Kaoru)
Seven children bowed down, and Kaoru got 7 servants.
And Kaoru taught the children.
Her indentity and actions are absolutely confidential.
If someone knows about it and tries to exploit the power of the goddess, the punishment will fall to the kingdom and Kaoru will return.
Even if you try to sell a secret, a bad guy will only pay for money when they listen to information, but after that you will be killed to monopolize the secret.
Kaoru has cured the childrenâs injuries, diseases and gives a minimum amount of food, but not everything.
They will become useless human being if Kaoru provide everything, they will need to get it with their own power.
Children who experienced miracles with their own body didnât have the option to doubt. In order to improve their own lives, children searched for jobs like errands and chores. As they do that they will listen to various stories and gather information about ărighteous people, those who are suffering from injuries and diseasesă
And the children have tried to escort the goddess.
Kaoru prepared cloaks and masks to conceal her identity.
She think that she was cool, but it was pretty bad.
A child seems to cry when sees her on the street âŚ
And Kaoruâs goddess activities began. Smoothly.
Based on the information gathered by the children, she helped those who suffer from injury and illness. Little by little ⌠until âŚ
There is a certain rumor that spreads in the royal city.
It seems that the goddess will save righterous people.
She never saves those with bad heart.
You must not betray the goddess.
The eyes of the goddess are everywhere.
***Secret organization ăHome of the goddessă***
It was just a scrapped house that seven abandoned children have settled down.
ăDo you want to change that name?ă (Kaoru)
ăWe donât want to change!ă (Children)
Kaoruâs wish was dismissed. Even though she is a goddess.
***
Today after done with work from the workshop, Kaoru comes to the poor area ⌠because she know the efficient way to work, she has a lot of free time. And she cooks meals for the children.
Children usually cook themselves in a coarse pot. To be honest, it isnât taste good, so occasionally she cooks for them.
Kaoru has told the children, ăSince I am enjoying human life now, I also have keep secrets. In case people find out, remember, Iâm just a kind helping girl who comes to make meals for you occasionallyă
ăSo, the daughter of that merchant is sick, but she is rich, donât you think that merchantă (Kaoru)
ăEven if he has money, there are injuries and diseases that can not be cured, and that person is a nice person.ă (Boy)
Pickpoc âŚno, because he isnât pickpocket anymore so letâs call him by name. Emil explains.
ăHe occasionally cooks for the poor, but he always saysăBecause I am a hypocrite, I just like to enjoy myself in this wayă, he is a good person, isnât he?ă(Emil)
Oh⌠what can I say ⌠he is really a nice person.
***Late night. A trading houseâs back door.***
Kaoru knocking on the door and a womanâs voice asking back from inside.
ăâŚwho is there?ă (Woman)
ăMasked ⌠no, no, Iâm a pharmacistă (Kaoru)
ăPlease, come ină (Woman)
As expected, itâs impossible for an amateur to sneak into a big merchant house. Even we have informed them beforehand.
Even if I say inform, I merely write a letter and let a child deliever it. People canât help but get suspicious.
However, if it is for their daughter, the parents still want to bet on that. And thereâs only one visitor, and others who escorted will be watching the place. For the time being, the woman servant let that person passed through. She is aăgood Tsundereă(ăčŻăăăłăăŹăăăă§ăăăă¨Â T.N; beat me, Author write that)
However if the visitor knows that person is just a child, they will be more skeptical.
ăIâve been informedă (Woman)
Kaoru was guided by a woman servant, they passed through the backyard into the mansion, and went into a room.
A female servant who sees a girl with a suspicious mask and does not even show upset and announces it calmly. No, Iâd rather say she is a pro. As expected, a servant of a large store.
And in that room there are a girl lying on the bed, a woman and a man sitting in the chairs and seem to be that girlâs parents and a boy who seems to be her brother. There is no guard.
Three people who saw the appearance of the kaoru entering the room were surprised at half open mouth.
When they thought that the goddess was coming and the one coming is a girl with a dubious mask. It canât be help that they are surprised.
When looking at the people in the room, Kaoru raises her voice.
ăWhat? Merchant ?ă (Kaoru)
The man stands there is that merchant, Johann Abiri. The one who gave the Kaoru a ride on his carriage.
ăEh? Kaoru-chan?ă (Johann)
From the voice call him merchant, hair length, shape, Johan immediately noticed the identity, even if the color of hair was changed.
