《Saintess Party》Elma’s POV 12: Exa is a Hero!?

Now that it had come to this, I’d just throw the idea of assembling a perfect party out of the window!

I’d prove that the True Exa wasn’t the idiot Exa and dispel all these irritation and frustration bubbling up within me!

With such determination, I left the martial arts city Leolinea and went to the northern fortified city—Algren.

According to the story of a traveler who stayed in Leolinea, an insanely beautiful adventurer carrying a mystical spear had headed north while flirting with a dull-looking adventurer.

My woman’s intuition had tingled hearing that.

――The two must be the Spear Saintess and True Exa, it told me.

Most likely, the Spear Saintess, having lost to True Exa in the final, became captivated by him and said something along this line: “To think you can defeat me, you’re amazing! Embrace me!”

Sigh, good grief.

This was why I hate promiscuous women.

Honestly, I wished she didn’t tarnish the prestige of saintess.

…….

Ahh mou, what the hell!?

I got so pissed off for some reason!?

I used to be completely sure that True Exa was a different person, but just why did he have to be so similar to the idiot Exa!?

Moreover, he was flirting with an insanely beautiful woman!?

So impertinent! Even though he was just the idiot Exa!

No, he wasn’t the idiot Exa!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!?

As I was feeling like scratching my head in frustration, seemed like the preparations for the audience were ready.

“Please follow me, Saintess-sama.”

“A-alright, thank you.” Prompted by the guard, I went to the throne room with the pig… I mean, with Porco.

“—I’m delighted to welcome you, Saintess Elma-sama.”

Before me smiling gracefully was Freyr-sama, the castellan of Algren.

A female castellan was quite rare, but according to what I’d heard, the former castellan, who was her husband, had passed away.

I felt really sad for her, but the more important matter right now was about the idiot Exa… I mean, the True Exa.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Freyr-sama. I’m Saintess Elma. Although late, I came hearing of the crisis looming over Algren. But it appears that the situation has already been resolved. I deeply apologize for not being able to come helping at the crucial time.” I bowed.

A model saintess never forgot to exercise modesty.

Well, as matter of fact, I’d just heard the matter of the crisis from the people in the town.

Rather, pig, lower your head!?

You were going to cast doubt on the respectability of this party!?

“Please raise your head, Elma-sama. Your feeling alone is enough for us.”

“Thank you for your graciousness. Incidentally, I heard that the one who saved the town was a saintess just like myself…”

“Hmm, since you are also a saintess, I think telling you the truth won’t matter. Actually, the one who saved this town was a gentleman who had come over from afar along with the Spear Saintess—Arcadia-sama, the Hero of Flame—Exa-sama.”

“!?”

Say what!?

Exa was a hero!?

Hearing her extremely ridiculous words, the two Exas were getting mixed up within my mind.
