I Can Speak with Animals and Demons Chapter 24 Part1

"That's why the G.o.ddess Meliarina gave humanity a force to counter the monsters. Among it, light magic is…"

Onoki talks about history tirelessly.

It's nice. It is more detailed than usual methods of study and is explained in an easy to understand manner.

However, the girl next to me is gazing at me.

Why is there so much hostility?

I should refrain from moving my line of sight to my right side.

As I take a glance at her, she averts her eyes.

And when I return to looking straight in front of me, I get exposed to her sharp line of sight.

A quick glance.

Pui.

………… Ah, what's with this child!

A girl with vivid brown hair tied in ponytails.

I'm 8 years old, so she's taller than me.

Her name is Rachel.

Although she is treated as Onoki's granddaughter, she is actually an orphan that has been picked up.

Onoki told me that she took Rachel from the orphanage when she quit the church.

She chose Rachel because she is compatible with light magic.

Since then, both of them have been living calmly in Asma while working as a healer.

And that's when I suddenly appeared in the midst of both of them studying light magic.

No, it's not good to be hostile even if we don't live together.

It does mean that I disturbed her daily life by coming, though. It's possible that that's the reason.

I came to Onoki's house.

After a brief introduction, an injured person with a broken leg came.

Rachel casts recovery magic.

However, it he did not recover completely.

So I was asked to do it, in order to make it possible for him to walk again.

In other words, I smashed Rachel's pride, a disciple of the doctor, into pieces.

If we were the same age, such an apprentice would only be jealous.

But I'm two years younger and have incomplete knowledge of magic.

I became Onoki's favorite.

Her being hostile can't be helped.

However, Onoki seems to be pleased with this situation.

No, it certainly is a good stimulus. I want her to treat me as a stepping stone.

“So, because of the strong influence of the holy temple in Meliarina, the current situation is that many priests are providing treatment in exchange for a large sum of money.”

Is it finally over?

From the second half, I found out that there are a lot of bitter things happening in the temple, and the rural world is troubled because of the lack of recovery wizards.

Even if there was the G.o.ddess Meliarina long ago, the temple is probably too influential.

Even if I become an adventurer, I'll have to be wary of the Meliarina empire and the temple officials.

There seems to be dark rumors. They have been exposed.

“Are you just going to be a healer?”

“No, I want to be an adventurer.”

Rachel got up from her chair and comes to talk to me when we have a break.

“Wow!? You can use recovery magic to repair broken bones though!? Why did you come here?”

“Your grandmother brought me here.”

“So that's the case!”

I said so with an ugly expression and went back into the house.

“….. But what to do.”

From now on, I will come multiple times to study recovery magic, but I'll be tangled up like this every time.

『Are you the person called Jed who can speak with animals?』

“Hmmm?”

『Oh, it's true, you responded…』

A chicken calls out through the entrance.

He comes in with his squinting eyes with his head bobbing every step.

『Hey, listen, listen.』

“What is it?”
