Chapter 93 – Villager A Goes to Express Gratitude with the Villainess:-
The next day, I headed with Anna to the Valley of the Flying Dragon and came to the Temple of the Winds.
“A-Allen-san, h-hello. Ah, your important person is also doing well. “
As soon as I landed the Buitor Rev. on the snowy plaza in front of the temple, Jerome-kun jumped out.
“Long time no see! Huh? Where’s Melissa-chan?”
“Ah, um, you know, inside.”
“Then, let’s get in. Come on, Anna.
“Oh, oh.”
Thus, we followed Jerome into the temple.
And when we entered the temple, the inside of the temple was unexpectedly warm, unlike the cold outside.
“Oh, welcome, Allen-san. And your important woman is doing well, is she? That’s great.”
Melissa-chan laid down a large amount of grass in the temple, curled up on it, and turned only her head toward us.
“Yeah, thanks to the two of you. Anna got well, so we came to report and express our gratitude for your kindness.”
“I see, that’s very kind of you.”
“Me too, it was thanks to Melissa-chan and Jerome-kun’s help that I was able to save Anna. Thank you very much.”
“It’s okay. We’ll never forget what you did for us. We were just returning the favour.”
“Yes, that’s right, Allen-san. It’s thanks to you Allen-san.”
“Still, I’m glad. Also, she’s my fiancée, Anastasia. We’re getting married next fall.”
I introduce Anna as such and bring her forward. Then Anna took a firm ladylike bow.
“My name is Anastasia Clynel von Ramslett. I am Allen’s fiancée. I apologize for not being able to greet you properly the last time we met. Melissa-sama, Jerome-sama, I heard that you both helped to rescue me from the empire and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am sorry that it has taken me so long to thank you despite the fact that–“
“It’s long, you know? Um, is it okay with Anna-chan? If Allen-san’s precious woman is saved, that’s all that matters. We didn’t do much.”
“Melissa-san…”
“But, yes. When you are going to destroy the Imperial capital, you should tell us, right? I won’t allow you to sneak off and destroy it, okay?”
“Eh? Eh?”
Jerome-kun also nods his head excitedly.
“Melissa-chan, I don’t have that plan for now anyway. Because I killed the two masterminds. Well, that doesn’t mean I’ve forgiven them.”
“Is that so? Well, anyway, I can’t go now.”
“Eh?”
“We’re going to be mom and dad before Allen-san and Anna.”
Melissa-chan said this and moved her curled up body. Then there was a big white egg.
So that’s it. Was Melissa-chan keeping this egg warm for a long time?
“Congratulations, Melissa-chan, Jerome-kun!”
“Congratulations!”
“Fufu, thank you. And, Anna, you don’t have to talk in that strange way, okay? Why don’t you speak normally? Also, you can call us as you like, both me and Jerry.”
“Eh?”
“Isn’t it okay? Melissa-chan says so too.”
“Oh, oh. That’s right. Then Melissa, Jerome, nice to meet you.”
“Fufu. Nice to meet you.”
With that said, Melissa returned to her egg-warming position.
“Hey, hey, can I give you both my blessing? Well, so many things happened, and I’m ashamed to admit it, but I’ve become an Ice Saint.”
Blessing is one of the abilities of the Ice Saint.
However, it is not as powerful as the blessing of that pervert but is said to be a good luck charm, so to speak, as it promotes healthy growth and protects a little against serious illnesses that could bring one to the verge of life or death.
It seems that Anna doesn’t understand this area well, so I’ll investigate it one by one.
“Oh? Is that so? Good for you. But, well, if that’s the case, can I have it for my unborn child? We have the blessing of the wind god, so that’s enough for us. We will face retribution if we ask for too much.”
Melissa responded to Anna’s offer in a lighthearted manner.
“Y-Yeah. I think so too. I’d like to give it to my child.”
“But …”
“Well, if that’s the case, we’ll come back when the baby is born, okay?”
“Oh, oh.”
When I said this, Anna backed down, albeit reluctantly.
“Also, I brought you plenty of beef to thank you. And I bet you’re going through a rough time right now, right?”
I say that and serve them the beef I’ve packed in a large quantity in my magic bag.
“Ah! Thank you! Allen-san is the best!”
Melissa was overjoyed when I told her this and proceeded to eat the beef as if devouring it.
“Oh? Jerry, you don’t want some? If you don’t want it, I’ll eat it all, okay?”
“Oh, is that okay?”
“Allen-san brought this for both of us, you know? How could you not?”
“I-Itadakimasu.”
Jerome-kun, who was told that, shook his tail happily and started eating meat with Melissa-chan.
By the way, I went to thank the pervert while asking her to take care of the 『Staff of Divine Guidance』 afterwards, but she said ‘I see. Well then, I look forward to the birth of your child,’ in a cat-like manner.
Ah, but Anna who heard it turned bright red and was very cute.
Side – Amy (12):-
Ahaha. I didn’t think the power of the Saint of Charity was so strong.
The king, the ministers, and the knights, all agree with me.
To put it bluntly, it all seems brainwashing now.
It’s been a very smooth ride, especially since that Prime Minister gave in.
It seems that the power of the Saint of Charity only works on those who have a liking for me.
But you know what? If they like me even a little bit, it will definitely work, and if I keep on telling them, they will definitely listen to what I say and change as I say.
Thanks to the Prime Minister seeing through it, all the people in the castle are mine.
I told them several times that I am the Saint of Charity, that they should believe in me unconditionally and should offer their everything to me. After that, they started to believe in me.
And then for the general populace. The Prime Minister gave a speech in which he simply read from a manuscript he had written, and intentionally staged the healing show of the wounded soldiers. Oh, and then doing charitable work or something.
Anyway, after doing something like the act of a nice human and telling them about myself, they immediately believed that I was the Saint of Charity.
I love Karl-sama and others. So I have no intention of becoming their Queen, but it’s practically like my own country now.
But I heard that Oscar was released, and his father, who seems to have switched sides to the second prince faction, caught him and took him somewhere.
I haven’t even been able to contact Claude for a long time.
And don’t you think it’s strange that after writing letters to both of them I didn’t get any response?
I thought I had captured them properly.
Well, I’m sure we can talk about that later, right?
“Amy!”
While I was looking out the window by myself, Karl-sama came in after finishing his work.
“Karl-sama”
I ran to Karl-sama, and he gently embraced me. Then we kissed passionately.
“Amy, I missed you.”
“Me too”
Karl-sama with a neat face is always nice to see.
“Amy”
“Oh, Markus!”
Markus came to me too. Then Karl-sama let me go and left me with Markus.
“Amy, I missed you.”
“Me too”
Then Markus also hugged me tightly and kissed me passionately, just like Karl-sama.
“Fufu, I’m glad you’re both here.”
“Because I only have Amy. Amy’s happiness is my happiness.”
“Me too. I would do anything for Amy.”
“Thank you. Karl-sama, Markus. I love you, too. So love only me.”
“Yeah, of course.”
“I would never look at another woman.”
Is that so. As I kept asking them to love only me every day, they soon became like this. Now they don’t feel anything when they see any other woman but me.
It’s perfect. No one will complain about this kind of thing anywhere in the castle anymore. No, in fact, they’ll look at you fondly.
Lately, I’ve been in bed with them, and it’s fulfilling.
“That’s right, Amy. I just got word from the church that they’re recognizing you as the Saint of Charity.”
“Well, finally!”
I was so happy with Karl-sama’s words that I let out a loud voice.
“Yes. I was steadily persuading them.”
“Really”
Yes, I steadily met with priests and sisters of the church and gradually persuaded them.
Especially the support for the orphanage was effective.
I went to an orphanage and taught the children there that I was a saint. The children immediately believed that I was the Saint of Charity, you know? With sparkling eyes, they would say, “Saint-sama, Saint-sama has come.
Well, I didn’t really want to be with those dirty orphans, but when I put up with it, the sisters and priests there started listening to me.
So little by little, I got good rumours going, and by the time I realized it, there was no more talk of witches.
And today, I was finally recognized by the Church as God’s chosen Saint of Charity.
Now there’s no one left to bother me.
Fufufu…now all we have to do is to deal with those Imperials out there.
Side – Amy (13):-
Those imperial soldiers out there, are so stubborn, aren’t they? I’ve been cheering the soldiers over here, so they are supposed to be death-defying soldiers and quite strong, even then why?
Isn’t it strange, even though Karl-sama and Markus are also doing their best?
Oh, maybe that nerd has a hand in it?
If that’s the case, then that nerd is a cold-blooded person.
How much do you hate me for cooperating with the country that kidnapped your beloved villainess!
But that’s too bad.
I, the Saint of Charity and heroine of this world, am determined to have a happy ending.
Because, you know, right?
This is the world of my favourite otome game.
It would be strange if I don’t have a happy ending even though I haven’t made a mistake in my choices!
When I thought so, it seemed like something was going wrong.
“Karl-sama. What happened?”
“Oh, Amy. Apparently, the underground sewers have been targeted by the Imperial Guard. It seems that someone has been leading the Imperial Guard through there and they’re invading the city.”
What are you saying! I, the Saint of Charity, can’t believe that there is a traitor in this town where I am!
“What are we going to do?”
“We will have to take them down, one by one. It’s okay, Amy. We will definitely protect you.”
Karl-sama says so, but after all, it seems that he is impatient.
What is this all about?
Could this be the event where the royal city is destroyed once, as in the game?
If so, that’s not good.
Even though I’ve come this far, I can’t let them get to us like this!
Hang in there, me! Think about it, me!
When I thought about it for a moment, my head hurt, but I came up with a good idea.
“Karl-sama. I have an idea!”
“That’s reliable. Is it a Saint’s prophecy?”
Karl-sama looks at me kindly.
“Yes, the enemy is in the sewers, right?”
“That’s right”
“Then we can pour poison gas down the sewers! Then, all the evil enemy soldiers will be killed!”
When I said that, Karl-sama’s eyes widened in surprise.
Fufu, as expected of myself.
“But if we do that, there will be damage to the surrounding and downstream residents. ……”
Eh? Is it useless?
But if the royal capital is destroyed by Imperial soldiers here, then everyone will be killed, right?
And if there are imperial soldiers in the underground sewers we used to escape in the game, there’s no way we can escape, right?
I don’t even know if we can go to the Kingdom of Westerdale since Claude is not here in the first place.
In that case, we have no choice but to do it.
Yes. Besides, it’s the commoners who will die as collateral damage from the poison anyway, right?
Then they were the ones who were originally supposed to be killed by the imperial soldiers, weren’t they?
Huh? What the heck. Then it doesn’t matter!
“Karl-sama, you should do it! I, the Saint of Charity, will pray for the victims! So, if you don’t, all the people of the royal capital will be killed!”
I pleaded with tears in my eyes, and Karl-sama nodded his head.
Yes, that’s fine.
Fufu, now we’ve won.
This should end the event in which the royal capital is attacked, and we can go get the 『Scroll of Concealment』 later.
****
Ahaha. It worked perfectly.
I heard, a little bit of the residents around the sewer inlets and outlets have died, but nothing serious.
Besides, we were able to defeat the imperial soldiers without incident, and they are going to hold a memorial service for the victims soon, so all I have to do is say a prayer for them.
Now, all we have to do is collect the 『Scroll of Concealment』.
Huh? But who should use it?
With this in mind, we came to the entrance of the sewer system in the school.
Then they opened the door and I went into that little room I saw in the game.
Then on the desk here…
Not there!
Why!?
“Ah! That guy!”
“Amy, what’s wrong?”
“If you need help with anything, please tell us.”
Both Karl-sama and Markus told me that with concern.
But you know. Now I understand everything!
That nerd! You stole my 『Scroll of Concealment』!
(T/N:- yep cause you’re an idiot for still following the story.)
That’s why he was able to do that in the duel and take back the villainess that was sold to the empire!
Then! That means!
I!
“Karl-sama! Markus! I have a request! Listen to me!”
