Seikishin -Saint Doll- Chapter 3

[Saint Doll] Chapter 03 – Creation

s.h.i.+n is thinking while laying his body on the bed.

Adventurer Guild.

At first it was just an a.s.sociation of people with Blessing, until one day a certain Hero united them and declared they will be called an Adventurer Guild.

“If one have the power, they can live as an Adventurer…”

With that said, becoming an adventurer and exterminating monsters to earn a living is suitable with his wish.

“Firstly, I’ll have the power and position to protect Yuri”

If that’s the case, then s.h.i.+n himself must be strong.

“This power might be given to me by someone, but I’ll make good use of it”

If they’re going to live in this world where the common sense differs greatly from their old one, then he himself have no other choice but to integrate to the rule of this world.
That’s why he need power.

“[Creation]….. This power will be my everything”

Yuri is thinking while laying her body on the bed.

She can’t use any body strengthening power like s.h.i.+n. Basically, it’s a proof that she is just a normal Fallen one. But this is why she is confused.

“This [Miko], I wonder what this is…”

It’s the same one mentioned by Shana when she pulled out ‘Miko Stone’.

Even though she understand that it’s certainly ‘Her Power’, she was confused that she cannot understand any other thing.

“If I’m also a Blessed One, then I won’t become burden to s.h.i.+n…”
Yuri knows that s.h.i.+n has steeled himself for the sake of both of them. Yuri understand that she is a burden, but she still doesn’t want to be separated from s.h.i.+n, and she also knows about s.h.i.+n’s feeling.

“…I also want power”

She wants to stand next to s.h.i.+n and become someone that is able support him.

“I want to be together with you forever…. s.h.i.+n-chan”

Shana is thinking while walking in the street.

She had found a Hero during her Monster Hunting and she want to keep both of them away from the battlefield. Unlike herself who has become the Village’s Miko, those lovers have a different future for them.

“….If he is still alive, I wonder what will happen to us”

Will we be blessed with children ?
Shana ask those question to herself, but she knows that she doesn’t have such future anymore.

“It’s over when one dies, huh”

The illumination doesn’t come from fire, but light from Divine Power.
It was a power supplied to the village by the village, it also guarantees the village’s well being.

“I want to support them as far as I can. Even if they encountered an unavoidable fate, I will support them to resist it as much as possible”

She put her hands on the heavy iron door and slowly open it up.

“Because that is my duty”

Next morning.

As soon as the three people finished breakfast, they moved to the gra.s.sland near the village.
It was on the opposite side of the forest where they came from. It’s a comparatively safe place in the vicinity and is used for the grazing of livestock.

“…..I’m sleepy”

While watching s.h.i.+n standing  a bit far ahead, Shana let out a big yawn.

“I didn’t thought of that at all!”

With only the sound of wind, insect and Shana’s yawn around him, s.h.i.+n slowly relaxes his body.

“[Body Reinforcement] is already sufficient for battle. If his Blessing can be used in combat, then he won’t have any problem”

“There are 3 categories, [Battle] [Magic] and [Creative]. All blessing is categorized into one of those. By the way, You can imagine what he is trying to do now right?”

s.h.i.+n jumped 10 meters vertically in front of them while they’re talking.
Yuri went wide eyed and after confirmed that he landed without any danger, she looked at shana and ask. “Does that kind unreasonable physical ability counted as common among the Blessed people ?”

“Yes, there are absolute wall that cannot be surpa.s.sed between commoners and people with Blessing. People won’t pick a fight easily with people that can do these kind of things right ?”

Shana took out a walnut-like fruits from her pocket and crushed one with her index finger and thumb then she handed the same fruit to Yuri.

Yuri understood how big is the differences in power between commoner and Blessed one.

“The adventurer guild exist to prevent the owner of such strong power from rampaging.
Even the partner system seems to be created to prevent those people from simply taking women by force.

“Is that so”

“Well, then again a Blessed person doesn’t even need to bother crawling for women at night.
They won’t have any trouble obtaining woman, and they won’t be inconvenienced by money either. For example, If you’re  subjugating yesterday Mad Boar as a mission, you can easily earn 2-3 years worth of the income for a normal commoner.”

Yuri seems to be impressed while imagining the fight yesterday.

‘Is s.h.i.+n trying to prepare himself for that by doing this exercises ?’
While Yuri was wondering about that, a one handed sword appear in s.h.i.+n’s hand who has started to focus his mind.

“That sword, is that the one inside the Warehouse ?”
“After asking my permission, he seems to be inspecting it earlier. Hmm, If that’s the case I wonder if his Blessing is [Replication]. It’s quite convenient if he can do it without using any material”

Yuri tilts her head after hearing Shana’s words.

“Normally, [Replication] requires a base catalyst. For example If it’s a sword then you need to provide an iron of the same ma.s.s. He seems to produce the sword while ignoring those parts. It looks like a very flexible ability”

“Well, he won’t be able to duplicate living things or weapon with divine power. It’s up to him how to make use of it”

s.h.i.+n swing the sword clumsily, after all this is the first time since birth he held such a thing.

“I’m sleepy, I’m going to lie down. Can you wake me up when he’s satisfied ?”
“Ah yes, I understand”

Yuri smiled at the request of Shana. She went to sleep as soon as she closes her eye.

While thinking of those, Yuri a.s.sert that she should return her good intention someday.
She then returned to watching s.h.i.+n’s movement quietly.

He kept repeating a single swing while breathing out heavily.

“I guess it’s a failure huh”

He doesn’t know how to properly swing a sword, and just clumsily moves it.
If the opponent is just a simple monster, then he can make do just by swinging a weapon combined with his Body Strengthening. But what if there are multiple opponents, or another person with blessing ? s.h.i.+n understood that he will only pose a threat comparable to children compared to those.

“Should I be content with becoming one of those common Adventurers….”
Avoiding conflict, and live normally hunting an affordable prey. That way of living might be possible. He realized that there’s a big power differences between commoner and Blessed people, but what should he do if another adventurer is interested in Yuri ? What should he do if n.o.bleman exist ? If he has power, he can bend the Rules to his favor, that’s why he need strength. He need [Power] to resist this world.

s.h.i.+n quietly concentrates

“I have 3 limitation”

「Only the stuff I’ve wielded before」
「It will disappear in 10 seconds after leaving my hand」

It’s easy to use, but that’s it.
It can create weapons with supernatural ability. But even if he copy such a thing, it’s useless if he doesn’t know how to use it or his skill is inferior to his opponent.

“…….Yuri”

I’m a Hero, but on the other hand I’m just a normal person…

“Eh ? My gun otaku’s dad !?”

He went to America for a family overseas trip.

At that point, s.h.i.+n wasn’t really interested in it. But then the power of the [Real one] surpa.s.sed the fiction he knows.

In other words, the most difficult limitation has been cleared.

“I’m going to create something that doesn’t exist in this world. I don’t know anything about its structure or construction, but luckily I won’t need those knowledge to create it”
“s.h.i.+n-chan… that is…”

This is one of the most powerful gun ‘over there’.
A vicious gun that shots a .50AE magnum bullet.

“This is my strength. My power as a Hero”

On Earth, It’s called the Desert Eagle.
