《Saintess Party》Elma’s POV 13: The Number of Saintess is Increasing!?

L-let’s calm down for now.

I didn’t follow what Freyr-sama said and my thought had stopped for a while, but I’d finally calmed down.

So, to sum up the story, Algren had been attacked by hordes of monsters, and another saintess, the ‘Staff’ Saintess Magmell, desperately did her best to defend the town from them.

Wait, another saintess!?

Just how many saintesses were out there!?

What!? Were saintesses on sale these days!?

I wasn’t such a cheap woman, though!?

…Wait, that’s not the point!?

Having retorted myself, I regained my composure.

The main point here was that the idiot Ex… I mean, True Exa and the Spear Saintess Arcadia had then come, and along with Magmell, they tried to do something to stop the monster attack.

That was, to go to meet the god of earth who lived in this area—Mother Earth-sama.

After which, they were met with Mother Earth-sama who had been corrupted by ‘filth’. Then, the idiot Exa… no, I mean! The True Exa had used the power of Fire God-sama to purify her—allowing Mother Earth-sama to return to her original form, Terra-sama, and returning her blessings back to the earth, the end.

I see, that was indeed a heroic deed.

Yet, he had chosen to hide that fact and had Freyr-sama and Saintess Magmell took all the credits.

That sounded like what the idiot Exa would do…

He did always had others took the limelight…

Wait, nononononoooo!?

He wasn’t the idiot Exa!?

If I admitted that, what should I do from now on!?

He had grown to the point of being stronger than a saintess!?

Rather, he had even became the agent of a god!?

Compared to him, I was… wait, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!?

――Poyopoyopoyopoyopoyopoyopoyo.

“S-Saintess-sama?”

“I-is there something wrong?”

“We’re currently in front of the castellan, so it’ll be better if you check on my health later…”

“Eh?”

There I noticed.

――Poyopoyopoyopoyopoyopoyopoyo.

That I had unknowingly been shaking the pig’s belly.

W-what were you doing, meee!?

“O-ohohohoho! Y-you’re right! P-please forgive me for my discourtesy!”

“I-it’s okay…”

Taking my hand off the pig’s belly, I stiffly floated a saintess smile.

W-what a blunder!?

This was a big blunder that could destroy my image as a saintess!?

If this repeated, my image as a pretty, intelligent, and charitable saintess that I had painstakingly built would be ruined!?

If I don’t take some measures immediately… wait.

“S-speaking of which, to where did Exa-sama go after that?”

“Yes. He headed to the desert in the east following the advice of Terra-sama. Our saintess, Magmell, also followed him. She said that it was because she had fallen in love with Exa-sama’s courage.”

“H-hee, I see.”

Just how many women were you going to seduce, you closet lecher, idiot Exa!?

Being driven by the urge to punch straight into the pig’s belly inwardly, I became completely sure that the guy was the idiot Exa.
