Case 95: Sylvia Everwood – The last Saint of [Aria].

Case 95: Sylvia Everwood – The last Saint of [Aria].

Stepping out of the car together with my companions, we are greeted by the familiar sight of the Crimson Palace.

Now we just need to get to the top of this palace, where there's a broadcast stone.

I heard that there are only two right now in the world, one here, another one belongs to the dwarves. It works like a giant projector but doesn't need a surface to project the image on. How truly curious.

''Phew~...'' I sighed.

''You can do it.'' Liana tap on my shoulder a few times.

''Yeah, don't be too worried.'' Tina said.

Anna silently grabs my hand and flashes a silly smile.

*chu*

And Emy kisses me on the neck for some reason.

''Thanks!''

An attendant walks over to us.

''Please go this way, Your Holiness and her companions.'' He bows respectfully.

*clack*

Opening the door to the room on top, I could see familiar faces sitting on a few rows of chairs.

Is that the broadcast crystal? It's so huge...

The blue-red crystal is around my height, but significantly fatter, and shinier as well.

''You're here, lass.'' The bald Saint waves, smiling wildly.

''Hi everyone~'' I said, earning simple nods from most of them.

''Your Holiness! I'm honored to see you here!'' Archbishop Henry stands up and bows.

''Glad to see you too, Archbishop.''

''Sylvia.'' Dad nods at me.

''Dad.'' I nod back at him.

Seeing that, he smiles contently.

...Was he trying to say something...?

''Let's sit first.'' Liana nudges me.

''Alright, alright.'' I replied. ''There's empty seats there, let's go.''

Let's sit beside the mermaid one.

''My~ Look at how smooth your skin is~...'' Mermaid Queen exclaimed, stroking my forearm. ''Mind sharing your skincare products? I'm jealous...''

It's semen, ma'am. A lot of them. Apply straight inside your stomach and your skin will never be the same.

No, seriously though, I barely use anything myself. I just get a lot of things applied to my skin by the maids...

''I don't actually know...'' I replied awkwardly.

''I see~...'' She said dejectedly.

*clack*

''Good morning, everyone.''

Oh, the Emperor and William dude is here.

''It's almost time. Forgive me for being late.'' The Emperor said, I could see faint dark circles under his eyes.

Probably he is still distressed about the late Crown Prince's death.

''See this then.''

I pull out a single tip of Gungnir that I made in my free time after the Leviathan incident. Launching it high into the sky with telekinesis, and then...

*snap*

A small star shines on the spotless sky, followed by an explosion so big that it paints the whole sky a deep blue color, sending shockwaves across the whole city.

*BOOOOM*

It looks like there's no broken glass, good. I sent it far enough.

''Now you're convinced, yeah?''

''...''

''Anyway, now that you know about that, let me share something about myself.''

''I... Have four lovers.''

''I know, that's a lot to handle. But I sincerely love them, and they sincerely love me as well.''

''The point is, I want to make families with them, and live peacefully for a long time moving forward.''

''But... The world is in danger.''

''Not only are the demons stronger and smarter than ever, but this time we have a serious opponent.''

''Again, remember the giant fish? That's the work of an evil goddess.''

''We will have to deal with her this time, not a normal demon king anymore.''

''And since the evil goddess is the one who summoned the demon kings since the beginning, if we defeat her, it'll all be over.''

''So technically, I will be the last Saint. And being the last one is always stressful.''

''Ah~... I didn't sign up for this.''

''But anyway, what's the point of me talking about this? Spread fear? No.''

''We defeated the giant monster. So what's there to fear anymore? The evil goddess is not omnipotent. We can defeat her.''

''Also, we've made an alliance, you know? The Empire is in it, three former Saints are in it, my home country - Everwood is in it, Ranka, Atlas, Vurgon... They're all in it.''

''We have decided to fight against her instead of cowering in fear.''

''So, I want you to fight, too. I want each and every one of you to do your utmost to support the Alliance.''

''I'm not telling you to go to the frontier, I'm just telling you to do your best at what you're doing.''

''Armies need supplies to fight. And you, the normal worker, are one of the people making those supplies every day. So do your best.''

''That way, we can come together as a whole and fight our enemies properly.''

''...Well. I've been rambling for quite a while already.''

''Today is a great day. I like festivals, I like seeing people, seeing you guys happily talking, drinking, playing on the streets.''

''You know, I visited Saint Vivian's tomb recently. He told me to learn to love the people that I'm going to protect.''

''It'll give me more strength to fight, he said.''

''So, I will try my best to love you guys, as well as the peaceful people living on this continent together.''

''Let the festival begin, lovable people. I am Sylvia - Your last Saint.''

*clack* *clack* *clack*

I turn around and briskly walk back into the room.

''...''

''WOAHHHH!''

That's loud.

I don't think my speech was that great.

...But I mean, if they like it, then it's all good.
