Voldred arranged for a carriage and we arrived in the city.

In anime and web novels, the royal capital is usually very lively…

However, the royal capital of Fenzel was in a terrible state. Walking down the street, I saw homeless people sitting or lying down all around. Many were injured or coughing because of the damage caused by the miasma and demons.

…I couldn’t tell because the palace was gorgeous, and the prince and princess were wearing beautiful clothes. The commoners are leading such terrible lives.

As I walked down the street with Voldred, a child stumbled right in front of me.

“Ouch…!”

“Are you okay?”

I called out reflexively, but was shocked when I saw the child’s feet. Both of his feet were clearly stained a strange purple color.

Using the power of the saint, I found out that he was under a curse caused by the miasma. He couldn’t walk properly, that was why he fell.

…No matter how much the princess told me to use my power, I couldn’t bring myself to do it.

Just like I was summoned to this world against my will, these people didn’t ask to be cursed by the miasma. A small child shouldn’t have to suffer?

I’ll only use my power if I choose to.

“Wait. I’ll free you of your pain.”

“Eh?”

The child tilted his head in confusion, tears welling up in his eyes from the pain.

Thus, I used the power of the saint—and the next moment, the wounds and curses disappeared from the child’s feet. They were stored in Saint’s Domain, a different dimension that only I could access.

“Amazing, the pain is gone!”

The child said loudly, drawing the attention of those around us. They started making a fuss.

“What? What just happened?”

“The curse disappeared in an instant…”

“I’m sorry! I’m under a curse too, can you please remove it…?!”

Instantly, people gathered around me.

“Everyone, I’m a saint summoned from another world. If you wish, I can collect your wounds, illnesses, curses, and poison. However, I’ll use them as I wish!”

My power wasn’t just for healing, so I should probably get permission beforehand. I didn’t want to do free labor, but if it could increase my attack power, it should be fine.

“So, you’re saying you can remove our wounds and curses, right? Of course, I’d love that!”

“Saint, please help me!”

“I’ll do anything if you can lift this child’s curse!”

The people all bowed their heads and pleaded desperately.

…Thank goodness. If they’d said, “It’s only natural for a saint to do that,” it’d have lead another tiring argument.

The royal family was rotten to the core, but the people of the kingdom seemed normal, which was a relief.

I specifically asked for their consent because there was a chance I’d use their wounds and curses on someone else… Well, I doubt they’re thinking that far ahead.

I unleashed my power. I conjured a magic circle at my feet, and its range expanded rapidly. Eventually, the people in the surrounding area were drawn into it—their wounds, illnesses, curses, and poison were removed. It was a kind of AoE Heal.

“Amazing! The pain I’ve been enduring for so long is gone!”

“I thought I’d die from this curse…! I can’t believe I’m cured!”

“Thank you! It’s all thanks to the Saint!”

They erupted in cheers. Everyone was smiling, and the atmosphere was incredibly enthusiastic.

I didn’t like being ordered around like a tool, but if the princess had treated me properly, without contempt… I could honestly say I’d have been more than happy to use my power.

Even so, the wounds and curses I’ve just collected have increased my attack power considerably… I really have a cheat power, don’t I?

Depending on how it was used, it was a power that could either save or kill someone.

Frankly, faced with a power that was too much for me to handle, I could only stare at my palm.
