Chapter 47: Trust

Elias is a devout follower of the [Goddess].

Since childhood, he has heard the voice of the goddess appearing in his dreams. Her beautiful appearance and words made him believe in her with all his heart.

When did that yearning begin to fade away? ……

One day he met a maid who shook his fixed values, and little by little – like termites crumbling a huge tower – she eroded his mind.

Algray is said to be a great country with a long history, but even though it has been a thousand years since its founding, it has hardly developed from the civilization that the people of the other world called “medieval”.

It is still understandable that the field of science has not developed because of the existence of magic, but why has there been no comparable development in magic?

Why is that so? No one in this world questions it. All the benefits were given by the Goddess, and they wanted it to remain the same.

In the midst of all that, only the area around that maid girl had changed, for better or worse.

The same is true of the Lady she serves, and of Elias himself.

In this unchanging world, only that dainty black-haired girl from another world, like ink dripping on paper, dyed the world’s colors little by little.

Elias’s mind, which had begun to change, began to feel a slight discomfort in the goddess’s words and actions.

The goddess still appears in Elias’s dreams, but why is she dressed in revealing clothes? She preaches love to those who believe in the goddess and praises Elias for it, but what about the rest of us?

At that time, Elias receives an oracle from the goddess.

“……”

After listening to the oracle, Elias couldn’t help but exclaim.

Elias knows about her. That maid serves her. Although her reputation at the academy was certainly not good, the impression he got from meeting her in person was that she was a girl with a gentle personality, so much that he couldn’t understand the rumors about her.

One thought comes to Elias’s mind.

If Sharon is a disturbance to the peace, then she is the cause of the change.

If you are a disturber of the peace, you are a being who change this world, even if only slightly.

If you think that’s what “she” is…….

*****

“………”

Even at my greeting, Mr. Elias remained frowning and silently pointed the sword at me.

It’s troubling ……. I was taught by the head maid that greetings are important for the smooth conduct of human relations.

I’m sorry for the delay in greeting you. The most important things in the world under the neck and and above the belly of milady. I am Fleurety.

“Is something wrong?”

“Let me check out ……”

Boom!

Mr. Elias’s sword, which was closing in on me in an instant, was caught with the club with spikes from under my skirt, so you could briefly see the pure white garter belts.

This garter belt is not my taste, but I prepared it for milady, but for some reason, she refused to wear it, so I have no choice but to wear it myself.

“Excuse me. Did you see it?”

“…………”

Oh, he could see it perfectly. I was taught by the head maid to use a woman’s weapon, and indeed, for a moment, Mr. Elias’s sword seemed to have slowed slightly.

But, Mr. Elias is still very strong. I’d say he’s the best among the people of this world.

The [Orc Killer EX] that hadn’t been damaged by the nice shots of numerous balls until now was slightly damaged.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Mr. Elias’s power is at a level that could destroy me, depending on my luck and circumstances.

Boom!

We take our distance again while I parried Mr. Elias’s thrusts. He is quite aggressive coming at me, but perhaps because of his upbringing, he doesn’t seem to be very good at approaching women.

More importantly, something is looking at me.

This gaze is …… a hint of a higher level existence.

I think my spider’s webs will be enough to block recognition, but if I do too much, my presence will be recognized.

It won’t work at all against the maid chief and the Golden Lord, but from my feeling, the opponent should only be able to see the image of Mr. Elias suddenly pulling out his sword and starts swinging it.

It took a little bit of preparation, but I am finally able to move properly too.

”Thank you for your patience.”

“Huh!”

My spiked club shatters the cobblestone where Mr. Elias was, he seems to felt something changed and jumped back as quickly as possible.

”You were able to avoid it well. It was a blow that I was rather confident about.”

“…… you are.”

I’ve put in enough power to crush him with a single blow. In any case, I think Mr. Elias is also avoiding death with an incomprehensible force, so there’s no reason to go easy on him.

Perhaps understanding the seriousness of the situation, Mr. Elias shows a more alert look than before.

”You’re strong ……. Why do you fight?”

“I don’t know what you mean. I believe it was you who challenged me to a fight.”

Mr. Elias avoids the blow of the spiked club again without receiving it.

As expected of him, he has a high level of skill. It’s unlikely that he would be foolish enough to receive a heavyweight blunt weapon poorly and lose his stance.

”No, ……. Why do you fight and why do you need to change the world!”

“Huh ……, I don’t know what that means.”

I did not understand what Mr. Elias meant. So I raised the club above my head to get rid of the hassle.

”I’m going to prepare dinner for milady now. I have no interest in anything else.”

“…………”

“I also have to prepare a calorie-rich sweetness, which is a favorite among the ladies, so I’ll finish you now.”

At my combative words, Mr. Elias seemed to lost his fighting will ……

“…… Okay, haha.”

He laughed to himself and put his sword back, and for some reason, he bowed deeply to me with a radiant face.

”I’m sorry. I was trying to test you.”

“…… You really don’t know much about it.”

I’ve been told by Mr. Elias that the goddess of shit gave him an oracle that milady was a disruptor of this world.

It doesn’t look like Mr. Elias believed it.

“…… I have always believed in the absolute truth of the Goddess. I was beginning to doubt that, but I took a gamble on you to see if I could really believe in the Goddess …….”

“huh?”

How annoying. But with this, I was sure that the owner of that gaze was the goddess. At the same time, I was able to grasp the abilities of the goddess to some extent, which is a good result.

But…

”Anyway, since you challenged me to fight for such a reason, you should be punished.”

“…… I understand. I surrender to the guards.”

“We don’t have time for that, so I’ll do it quickly. I don’t think you’ll die, but please keep your spirits up and hold on.”

“…. hey, hey!”

Seeing me raise the spiked club, Mr. Elias turned pale.

Like a certain number one baseball player, I lifted one foot gaily like a flamingo and launched an all-out home run shot.

”Nice shot.”

I did it and it was a grand slam home run. Mr. Elias flew over the roof, but he avoided death, so it’s probably not a problem. Maybe.
