Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

"I think there may be some misunderstanding between us, Your Majesty." Elena suppressed her emotions and exhaled slowly, "I said that the relationship between our Water Temple and the Earth Mother Temple is not yet at the level of helping each other."

Since she had decided to reject the other party and had made her point clear, Elena's tone became impolite, even a little sharp, and her sense of restraint towards the other party as a saint also faded a little.

"Let alone friendly relations, the Water Temple has not openly been hostile to the Earth Mother Temple so far. I think this is a good example of our cultivation, Your Majesty. The Water Temple does not need you to bring the two parties together. I think you should already be clear about the grievances between the two parties. Please don't act crazy here."

Seeing Elena's sharp gaze and impolite words, Kato Megumi wanted to tease her again, but then she changed her mind and thought that too much is as bad as too little, so she gave up the idea.

"Oh~ I was just joking with Nana, but I didn't expect Nana to be so serious..."

"Your Majesty... please don't call me Nana. I don't think we are that familiar..."

For some reason, facing the saint of the Temple of Mother Earth, Elena felt a little exhausted. She had never seen such a shameless person.

As a saint, she could not be rude to the other party, nor could she drive him out. If an ordinary person heard what she said, he would probably understand what she meant and leave immediately instead of embarrassing himself here. After all, those people of noble status usually had a sense of pride and would never tolerate being looked down upon by people of lower status than themselves.

Who knew that this saint was different from ordinary people. She seemed to have no shame in her words and deeds. She could say that the dead were alive and the bad were good. This feeling made Elena feel helpless to deal with it.

"Your Majesty, if you have nothing to do, Elena will leave. It is impossible for her to help. The Water Temple will never help the Earth Mother Temple, so please go back!"

Elena turned around and prepared to leave. If she was disrespectful, then so be it! Even if the other party got hold of her handle and wanted to use this to punish her, she would have nothing to say. Anyway, it was at most a small punishment, what could it do to her?

Eh? Are you leaving so soon? Oh, little Lina is really not easy to tease...

When she heard Elena was about to leave, a golden barrier appeared in front of her, causing her to stop in her tracks.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Elena's eyes were full of impatience.

Using divine power to block herself is already very impolite. Even if she is a saint, Elena will not have a good attitude towards it.

"Don't be anxious, Master Priest... Hui hasn't told me the purpose of coming here to see you."

Kato Megumi slowly took out two porcelain cups from the space, put some tea leaves in them, then took out hot water out of thin air and started to make tea. After a while, the two cups of tea were filled with smoke. Kato Megumi pushed one of the cups next to Elena's table and chair.

"Your Excellency the Priest, why don't you try Hui's tea first... This is the tea I planted, you can try it."

Elena looked at the teacup in front of her, then looked at Kato Megumi who was looking at her gently at the side, and finally decided to give her face. She took the teacup in her hand, cooled it down, and then took a sip.

Then her face was full of surprise. The taste was extremely mellow at the first sip, and the faint magic nourished her body and mind, and even her mental strength increased a little.

If she remembered correctly, the other party seemed to say that this thing was grown by her. Elena had also drunk the Magic Leaf when her talent was not damaged. Even though she hadn't drunk it for a long time, she knew that the effect of the Magic Leaf was far inferior to what she was tasting now.

Elena couldn't help but look at Kato Megumi with a strange look.

What did the other party mean by this? Did he keep her here just to taste this thing? Although this tea was more effective than the magic leaf, and she was curious about why the other party could grow it, it was indeed not attractive to her. After all, her talent had been damaged, and it was no longer useful to improve her talent.

Could it be that the other party wanted to use this tea to attract me so that I could help the Temple of Mother Earth?

If that's the case, then it's really a fantasy... Although this thing is useful to others, it is not that rare to the Water Temple. After all, they also have magic leaves and the like. Although their effects are weaker and the quantity is smaller, it doesn't matter.

Especially for her, it was of no use at all. Elena felt that the saint's plan was probably useless.

Since she had already guessed the other party's intention, Elena didn't waste time.

"I've already had the tea, and I have to say it's pretty good. Although I'm curious about what abilities the Saint has that haven't been discovered, time is running out, and Elena still has things to do, so I won't delay your tea." Elena paused, "I'll go first. If you want to visit the Water Temple, you can ask the temple's people to help you lead the way."

In response to Elena's answer, Kato Megumi smiled gently.

"Okay, then I won't bother the priest any more. I'll take my leave now."

Then without further delay, he left.

Elena was left with a confused look on her face.

"what happened……"

Just leave so easily?

This saint girl had been so shameless as to want to stay here before, why did she leave now? Didn't she say that she needed the Water Temple's help? She gave up just like that?

Or is it a case of playing hard to get?

Elena frowned and thought about it, but finally put this doubt behind her.

It was impossible to help. She would never forget the moment when she was told that her future was gone and she would never be promoted again. Thinking of this, Elena couldn't help but clench her fingers.

But Elena didn't know that there was a law in this world called the Law of True Fragrance, and she also met Kato Megumi, who was sure of winning. It was destined that she could not escape this law, and she could only "smell it" in the near future.

……

……

Meanwhile, upon learning that the Saint had visited the Water Temple in the morning to discuss cooperation matters, Aina, who was extremely anxious, hurried to greet the Saint when she saw her return, and couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, did the other party make things difficult for you? Did that Elena girl disrespect you?"

In Anna's view, the Water Temple is the enemy, the opponent who has always mocked and suppressed them, so Anna has never had a good impression of them.

But this is not the case for Kato Megumi. She is not the person involved and does not wear tinted glasses, so she looks at the relationship between the Water Temple and the Earth Goddess Temple from an outsider's attitude. Therefore, in her opinion, the Water Temple is not that bad, and it is reasonable for them to vent their anger on others. The relationship between the two is not impossible to reconcile.

Of course, it is not so easy to repair it. At least the key connection points must be repaired, which is very difficult for others. However, Kato Megumi happens to have this ability, so she dares to visit.

"Don't worry... You're worrying too much. Priest Elena is very nice and not as bad as you think."

"Humph……"

Since the saint said so, Aina naturally would not refute.

"Well, did that guy agree?"

"Not yet..." Kato Hui shook her head and chuckled, "But the bait has been sprinkled, and the other party will visit soon..."

"I am confident that I can reconcile the two of them, so it's up to you from now on. You don't have to be as stern as before regarding Elena's attitude..."

“Your Majesty… I, I…” Seeing this saint worrying about the future of the temple and paving a way for herself, Aina was touched and ashamed at the same time. She didn’t know what to say, and finally could only whisper, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Kato Megumi smiled knowingly and said nothing more.

……

……

The saint said that Elena would come to visit her soon and asked her to pay attention, so in the next few days, Elena was looking forward to it, waiting for Elena to come. Then she wanted to take a good look at what the other person looked like and relieve her anger.

However... after several days, Ina didn't see the other person.

Could it be that His Majesty guessed wrong? Just as Aina was thinking this, Elena finally came to visit.

"Elena, why are you here..."

Ina looked at Elena in front of her and muttered unhappily, the saint was right, the other party really came.

"Ecclesiastic Aina...long time no see. This time I came to visit the Saint for something. I wonder if the Saint is here?"

Rarely, Elena's tone was not sarcastic as usual, but rather polite.

But Ina saw a hint of anxiety and urgency in the other person's expression.

She couldn't help but wonder what His Majesty had done to make Elena treat him so well and be so polite.

Originally, Aina was planning to mock the other party as usual, but when she thought of the saint's instructions, and looked at the other party's correct attitude and the hint of anxiety in his eyes, in the end... Aina swallowed the anger in her heart and replied calmly.

"Okay... then come in... But the Saint is very busy now, I don't know if His Majesty has time to see you."

Elena thought the other party would ridicule her. After all, she clearly felt that the other party had such thoughts. She was ready to endure it, but she didn't expect that the other party would not do so. Instead, he allowed her to enter. This made her surprised.

But on second thought, she knew that this might be the order of the saint!

Thinking of this, Elena couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that the other party should know that she would come to visit! Feeling the abnormality in her body, Elena's expression became firm.

"Thank you, sorry to bother you..."

Hearing Elena's thanks, Elena was surprised for a moment, then took her into the temple hall to wait, while she went to inform the saint.

After leaving the hall and on the way to make the announcement, Aina felt a strange sensation in her heart, and at the same time, she admired the saint even more.

I don't know what His Majesty did to Elena? Since her attitude has changed drastically and she is no longer as weird as before, he is worthy of being His Majesty.

However... facing Elena's attitude, Elena is still a little uncomfortable.

"Am I a masochist? No, no, no, absolutely not. I'm just not used to it for the moment."

Ina shook her head vigorously and then quickened her pace.

Elena didn't know what Aina was thinking. When she refused a few days ago, she didn't expect that she would go against her own ideas and come to visit the other party.

Looking at the strange yet familiar hall, Elena sighed in her heart.

As for why he came to visit the saint and changed his mind, it all started after he was rejected that day.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 186 Chapter Compensation and New Cooperation (Two in One)

After drinking tea that day, she didn't notice anything, but handled various affairs as usual.

After all, all she could do was to deal with things. After all, her future was ruined, her talent was destroyed, and she could only be an ordinary priest forever. This was the result Elena came to from her repeated common sense of not believing in fate in the past.

It is precisely because of this that Elena is so angry with the branch temple of the Earth Mother, targeting them from time to time, targeting their industries, causing them to fall into decline and no one cares about them; winning over the new recruits of the other party so that they have no new recruits, or indirectly disgusting the other party with various actions on a daily basis.

However, the anger will eventually dissipate.

Elena is not a god, and her emotions cannot last that long. Having lost her talent, she is just an ordinary person.

As time passed, seeing the decline of the Earth Mother Temple, Elena's anger gradually dissipated, and she even lost interest in it. After all, she had grown up over the years, from a talented priest to a person in charge of a branch temple.

Looking back on some things, although I still feel unwilling, the emotions are eventually erased by time.

Elena actually knew that even if she defeated the Earth Mother Temple, she would not be able to go to the main temple. After all, a waste who could not be promoted would only bring shame upon herself if she went to the main temple. Besides, what would happen if she went? She still could not obtain the Water of Life and could not restore her talent.

It's just... it seems to be out of habit, or maybe because it's fun to watch the other party's priest's reaction, so Elena still habitually goes to the Earth Mother Temple from time to time to tease the other party's priest's emotions, in order to kill time.

Elena no longer had any expectations for the future. She even thought that she would spend her life in this town, gradually grow old, and end her ordinary and helpless life.

This is how it should be, although she still felt unwilling.

But... this helpless Buddhist mentality was suddenly broken.

Just yesterday, Irene finished dealing with all her affairs and started practicing magic as usual.

When she was practicing magic as usual, she unexpectedly found that her magic had suddenly become a little stronger. She was stunned for a moment, and then she was stunned...

Could it be that... her talent has improved?

Elena was ecstatic and even cried silently, but when she checked, she found that her talent had not improved and was still as broken and weak as usual.

But even so, she was not disappointed, because she truly felt the improvement of her talent.

Then she couldn't help but start thinking about what it was that allowed her talent to recover a little bit.

As she recalled, Elena finally found the reason in her memory, which was the cup of tea she drank! Because this was the only difference between her recently and before.

After getting the confirmation, Elena finally understood why the other party left so decisively. She felt deeply regretful at that time. She struggled with it repeatedly late at night and finally decided to come and visit.

This is why she is here.

……

……

"Priest Elena, I haven't seen you for a few days. You seem to be more energetic..."

Seeing Kato Megumi coming in from the door and not seeming to be at all surprised by her arrival, Elena became more certain that the other party knew the reason why she came. No wonder she left so readily that day. It seemed that the cup of tea was intentional, not unintentional.

Elena saluted Kato Megumi solemnly.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to bother you at this time. Actually, I, I, I'm here to..."

It seemed that because of the last time she rejected Kato Megumi, Elena couldn't say the request and stuttered. However, she finally made up her mind, closed her eyes suddenly, and said her request as if she was going all out.

"Actually, I came here this time to ask Her Majesty the Saint to trade me some of the tea you grow."

Now that she had spoken, the next words would be easy to say. Elena opened her eyes and looked at Kato Megumi.

"I know my request is unreasonable, because Elena rejected Her Majesty the Saint without knowing what's good for her. I shouldn't have come to ask for advice like that without knowing what's good for me," Elena said with a hint of embarrassment on her face, "but this matter is particularly important to me. I don't know why, but after drinking the tea you gave me, my talent seems to have recovered a little."

"You know, my talent can only be restored by the Fountain of Life in the temple. Then, when I found out that the tea leaves you planted can restore my talent, I was so excited that day. That's why I came to visit you, the Saint, and wanted to ask Your Majesty to trade me some tea leaves."

"Of course! Elena will also do her best to facilitate the cooperation with the Water Temple that you mentioned before, so please give me a chance."

After saying this in one breath, Elena bowed deeply to Kato Hui, and she felt a little uneasy. The temperament and steadiness she had developed over the years seemed vulnerable in the face of new hope.

Kato Megumi could understand this. After all, no one would be so calm when seeing their talent return to normal.
