CH 10

side : Herge . Rau . Roshuru

I’m in the Royal capital now.

It’s 5 days from Yuki-San Dungeon. There were also no problems thanks to Mauve-San  on the journey until here.

My duty from now on is to end this tragedy.

「Thank you very much Mauve-San for the travel. Even at the cost of my life, I shall stop this war.」

Mauve-San looks embarrassed when I declared it so clearly.

「Oujo-Sama, This feeling of yours is wonderful, Please don’t force yourself. It was hard for me to find hope in life. And please don’t make the thought that Yuki helped wasteful.」

The fact that the strange Dungeon Master helped Mauve-San reconcile with is life is a good argument. However, he isn’t here now.

「I don’t want to go out of the dungeon. It’s because I don’t know when someone will aim for my life. He led us off and stayed inside the Dungeon.」

「The kindness I received couldn’t be returned to Yuki-San after all.」

He said that it was good with the information I gave him, but I feel that it’s still not enough for the favor that I received.

「 I understand your feeling, I wouldn’t be able to run around openly. Oujo-sama should intercede there.」

「If I make room for it and the war and, I should be able to help Yuki-san in various ways.」

I can’t speak about the Dungeon Master now in this confused country. It would bring dangers to Yuki-San and other countries would have openings.

Like this, I reached the fountain square in the Royal Capital while talking.

「Now it’s a farewell here, I’ll go handle Yuki’s errand.」

「Yes thank you for your kindness.」

I intended to treat Mauve-San in the Royal castle.

「You stop! I’m not going to get praised by princess. Did you follow your virtue?」

「Already? It’s really rude!」

My virtue remains safe, whether it was bad or that you were really lucky.

After all I said this to confuse him.

「Staying a while in the Royal Capital?」

「I incidentally wanted to run various errands for myself. Also, I want to increase funny stories for my wife and daughter」

「… I see」

「…」

「…」

「Then i’m looking forward to the day we can meet again.」

「I think the possibility to meet is high if you come to the Dungeon.」

After they said this, the 3 people left the place.

「Oriel, from here on this is our battlefield, will you come?」

「Yes to there or to anywhere.」

side : Mauve

「Weeelll, Is Yuki’s errand done?」

While i’m trying to say so, i’m moving, Curse calling out to me.

「Please wait a moment. Was Yuki’s talk being heard? Possibility that a troublesome fact will happen now is high? You need to watch for a long time until you can see how things are going in the royal palace.」

「It’s not a hobby nor a reason right? If you came looking for a maid slave. You can do it and take your time.」

On the way, I encountered Curse and Raija.

「Mauve-San is still the same as ever right?」

「Doesn’t it seems to be? Let’s go and have a look at the state of the Royal castle with us. We should be able to do an errand for that fellow.」

「Amongst other things there is the main point that I can’t reach, Foundation is certainly the basic for groups battle.」

I look for the location of the person’s abusing language I heard a short while ago.

「 Does it seem to be me? Can’t I recover a little bit these days?」

Freed on time from my “madness” thanks to Yuki, Though there are a lot of things that didn’t come back to me either, but even myself is better than “that condition”.

But a slave to do housework in the Dungeon… He didn’t ask me what kind of fellow I should buy… I guess a worker would be better.

I enter a back alley without anyone present here.

「I’m calling Yuki, please answer.」

As Yuki’s follower, To be able to speak with anotehr follower is a gift called “Substance” I got to use freely. Isn’t it convenient?

『That? Mauve’s operation? what’s happened? I’m busy now, Has there been already a movement?』

「No it’s something else. I would like help to know what kind of slave I should buy.」

『I didn’t say it like that. Mmm a young woman would do, because it’s something like a housemaid?』

「That’s ok. If it’s a granny housemaid, even if she probably have long to live, remaining in a Dungeon would make the heart stop.」

『That’s it. The appearance and the species aren’t important. Yes, so please prevent the race from receiving us oppositely.』

「Why? As for the race wouldn’t they be confused between etiquette and relation?」

『I desire an intelligent and expecting species. Tell me more about them. I wonder how many species exist?』

「I understood, they seem to have what you’re looking for.」

『I’ll enjoy it. I’m looking forward to your taste.』

「Oh! That’s the purpose?」

『Bu』

「That, cut it out! Hey!」

As unpleasant as it is to buy a slave alone, It’s decided that 「Mauve 」will make it up to is liking.

There’s an high possibility that we buy someone with the same age as my daughter, no?

Raija and Curse should not participat, only I should look like a pervert.

side : Oriel

「Herge!! The safety here feels good!! I was scared to be discovered within the carriage, I felt I had died from it’s slowness!」

「Ane-Sama, it’s difficult to please you…」

Before my eyes, Herge-sama’s elder sister, Seraria-Sama is embracing us while crying.

Seraria-sama has a sharp tongue, but what she’s saying doesn’t match with her behavior.

I’m inside Seraria-sama’s private room inside the Royal castle.

The entrance inside the Royal castle was admitted without trouble. The soldier at the gate was somewhat surprised, but we could meet with his Majesty.

「Herge… Really good! Oriel, thank you for all your work and devotion.」

I got praised. Actually, I became a slave, far from protecting her.

「Somebody come here」.

「Yes, i’m here.」

「Prepare for Herge’s favorite black tea and cake. Fast!!」

「I obey your command.」

「Ane-Sama, you don’t have to do this much.」

「What are you saying, it’s not for Herge it’s for me!!」

This scene would cause anyone to smile even for an outsider.

Because it’s peaceful, I can’t help but to remember the word Yuki said.

「Now i’ll say the things I’m expecting. I can’t look at that place actually. But here if you want to protect Herge , No need to worry about ordinary things. However, it’s different…」

Yuki had this talk only with me. I thought it was because worrying about Herge were unnecessary.

The content is about Herge being used for the war.

「I think it’s understood, but even If Herge is used by a third person, There’s the fact that the guy needs her.」

「I think so, too.」

「While raising several patterns, You can be relieved that the worst isn’t to be expected.」

It’s as the following:

Pattern 1: where Oujo-Sama is used has already ended. It eases my mind.

If it’s this, I’m really thankful.

Pattern 2:

An excuse, this group’s using Herge-Sama to promote the war.

Like this, If we’re not careful with our actions, the same tragedy will happen again.

Because the invasion was carried in the name of Herge, it’s a possibility.

Pattern 3:

I don’t know about the background of those people, but  in the worst possibility, they plan to kill Herge.

But Yuki guessed the most of it.

Yuki said that a carriage got caught near a battlefield.

「Look, it’s delicious! Have a drink Herge.」

「Ane-sama, don’t hurry so much」

「Fast, drink…Kof…Kof」

「Ane-Sama?」

I came back to my sense when I heard sounds which could break. Seraria-Sama is holding her throat and it look really painful. When approaching in order to help Seraria-Sama, The door of the room got opened with a bang.

「Seraria-Sama!? ah…late!! Guards, Guards!! Seraria-Sama almost got killed by the impostor looking like Herge-sama!! Recorvery magic users!!」

The minister of the country of Loire stood there.

side : Seraria . Nou . Roshuru

This minister is saying that Herge is an imitation?

This smell, and this behavior, I bet my underwear that Herge is 100% fully real!!

「Pa、Payu…」(Sfx)

My voice didn’t go out, This is part of the brute of a minister plan!

I have understood it intuitively.

After Herge became a Saint, This smile brightened more.

Recently i got depressed.

It’s probably due to that specific village.

That goddamn father praised the fact that Herge made everybody suffer.

Before I knew it, a flag had been raised for Herge.

Indeed, seeing this i’m disturbed, Moreover, don’t put my important Herge with that crime!!

「Ane-Sama!! Ane-Sama!!」

「Herge-Sama please calm down! When Seraria-sama get healed with my power, she can remove the misunderstanding.」

「Payu…!!」(Sfx)

Nice one Oriel!! Please remove this poison with your power and Herge will return everything in this minister’s shitty face!!

「Un,understood !!」

The lovely hand approached me but…

「Don’t move!! As it is Seraria-sSma will die!! Hand over the imitation to me without worrying because the guards called a skilled Recorvery user.」

In the end… they made Herge shoulder the crime.

Well, it’s inevitable… I’m still not saved either…

「He…*cough*…r… es..cape..」

Even if it’s not possible I did it.

Even invaded by poison, as I’m think about my important Herge I can’t stop.

「Don’t move !!」

「Oriel hate it!! Separating with my Ane-Sama!! Seraria Ane-Sama!!」

When Oriel flings something against the floor, light overflow dyeing everything in white.

Side : Raija

「Did the prediction from Yuki proved to be accurate after all?

「Thats it. But I didn’t want it to prove right. 」

I was scouting beside the Royal palace when lights suddenly overflowed from one of the windows and someone went out.

Look like it’s the princess and her follower.

And she seems to hold another person? But is falling from here safe?

I don’t know. But should we ask them if they need help?

Yuki said that if what he predicted were true, to help them from the beginning to the end.

「Don’t say unreasonable things! If it comes to this the guards would overflow to the Dungeon.」

「I Understand honestly, In the case we help from the beginning , What on earth is Yuki thinking? To shelter the girls in the Dungeon, it’s the worst! It’s the same as saying goodbye.」

When i’m speaking, Oriel holding the Oujo-Sama and another personne is coming this way.

I have no intention to stop them, I intend to run back to the Dungeon like this.

「Keep going」

「Sorry」

She ran for a few minutes after that a soldier had shown up.

「Didn’t the fellow holding two women came here!!」

「If it’s about them, they went this way」

I pointed to a different alley

「Did something happen?」

Curse talked with the soldier naturally

「Sorry!! I got no time for this!!」

The soldier ended the talk and ran.

Pattern 4: This one is the worst where the takeover of the country happens.

That’s the flag, Herge is held responsible for a crime she didn’t commit and the evaluation from the country drop. If the war keeps running in the long term, The Saint woman’s standpoint will get affected by it.

Countries around made an alliance and an Anti-roshuru union is made. When that’s happening, the King loses his influence. Then, the one pulling the string who plotted all this appear, and the people will stop following the king. Cruel no?

Here is the this kind of delusion I have in mind. But because the information are not complete I can’t understand who is the mastermind at all. I don’t know everything but the way Herge is laid back is because the Saint-Sama they thought dead returned.

In that case, there is another person aimed at? Who? it’s probably someone from The Royal familly.

I remember Yuki said that:

「Then, it’s another face from the Royal family?」

「Who knows?」

But the one able to answer this question already ran off too far away from this place.
