Chapter 13

“Saintess? Are you all right?”

The mob character asked me. W-What do I do? I should answer him first. Let’s go with something neutral.

“I’m fine, teehee.”

“…?”

No good! What the hell did I say that for anyway?!

Round two!

“Forgive me, but the summoning drained most of my magic power. Hero I welcome you as well, but please excuse me for I need to rest.”

“Y-Yes… Sorry for the inconvenience…”

Hoh ho, I see where your eyes are focused little boy. You still have a long way to becoming a true gentleman that can peek without being noticed.

He might be looking at the vomit on your clothes.

I look down and see the robes are stained a nasty brown. Ew!

A girl off from the side comes over here.

“Saintess, allow me to escort you to a room you can use and help you wash up.”

“Thank you.”

I’m led awkwardly to a bathroom and let the girl do most of the work in washing the body. Who would’ve thought that I forgot how arms and legs are supposed to be moved?

It’s mysterious.

After I’m all sparkling clean and lie down on the bed, I close my eyes pretending to be asleep.

“Rest well Saintess.”

Alright the girl has left. Time to get the details from Advice.

I can guess what you want to ask. Where should I start from?

Let’s start with why I’m in the Saintess’ body. Have I become her? I’d feel bad if I took over her body and she died.

No, you are still a pebble. Your real body has been lodge inside of the Saintess’ body, replacing the heart. I figured this would be the best solution, as the Saintess would avoid death, and reinforcing yourself with her body would ease the burden greatly and prevent further cracking.

So I’m still me… so to speak, then why can I move her body?

Since the shock of Mp exhaustion and [Symbiosis] was large, she is in a state similar to being fainted. When this happens you are able to take over the functions of the body temporarily.

So when she wakes up I won’t be in control huh?

I lift the Saintess’ hands up and look at them. Well… It’s a step in the right direction I think.

I just hope she doesn’t mind sharing…

Well… I wonder about that… after all there were some unintended consequences.

Such as?

You should see the status for yourself.

…How am I doing?
