43. I’m not going back, hehe
Having already prepared to deal with the “real big BOSS” — Nilu’s Kefir, there was no way I would mess up against an ordinary fairy BOSS; the script certainly didn’t have such a disappointing ending.
Just as I saw in the script, Kefir’s appearance immediately took the upper hand. After trying to “engage” a few times and realizing there was no chance to stab me, the fairy Claudia, sensing something was off, chose to flee. At this point, how could Kefir and I let a BOSS full of hidden secrets get away!?
However, just as the foolish saint said, this fairy’s “true form” really wasn’t here. Even though Kefir ultimately found an opportunity and thrust her sword into the fairy’s chest with her overwhelming strength! There wasn’t any scene of blood splattering ; Claudia, this purple fairy, turned to dust like a true witch, staring at me with a gaze that seemed to hold a deep grudge until her body completely vanished.
If we were to investigate immediately, there would surely be results, but then Queen Louis IV, who arrived to handle the aftermath, stated: don’t alert the enemy, and as a result… tonight’s events, like the moon gradually obscured by dark clouds, were buried deep in our hearts.
A few days later.
I had directly allowed Alsace to drain my energy, resulting in a temporary state of paralysis, turning me into a beautiful girl who couldn’t move, while the saint Ikusis also seemed to have gotten herself beaten up due to her insistence on showing off against the opponent, wrapped up like a mummy and could only lie down.
Coincidentally: because our identities were quite special, we were assigned to the same hospital room, becoming sisters in misfortune!
At this moment.
“In any case, I’m not some so-called ‘chosen representative of the goddess,’ nor am I a saint. Just as it was written in the letter, my name is Ikusis, and I am a fairy with ‘prophetic abilities .’ It’s just that I happened to go to the church, and coincidentally, I also belong to the light attribute, which is why I was mistakenly thought to be a saint…”
With bandages still hanging from her leg, Ikusis clumsily revealed her true identity to me.
Upon learning of Ikusis’s fairy identity, I wasn’t too surprised; what I cared about more was that representative of the unreachable place — Claudia, dressed like a witch from the last century, and the “master who has returned” mentioned by the foolish saint.
“As for that purple old lady, that’s Claudia. She was the closest fairy to the former master. Her appearance here means the master… has definitely returned. I ran away to the church to eat for free! If the master returns, she will Definitely want to kill me! So I wanted to escape quickly, but now, sigh…”
Having said that, this foolish Ikusis actually sighed with worry, and then… it seemed she looked over at me.
I didn’t know what she was looking at because I really couldn’t turn my head; according to Alsace, even if my body would gradually be ‘trained’ up, I still had to lie down for a few more days.
“About your master… the Great Yng Empire is already thinking of ways.”
Queen Louis IV is not a woman who likes to be at a disadvantage; I had clearly seen in the script that [Louis IV is investigating the unreachable place], and out of confidentiality, I didn’t intend to tell Ikusis, just wanting her to “be honest.”
“And even if you escape back to the church, they would still come looking for you, so it’s safer for you to stay in the Great Yng Empire.”
“…”
I thought this time Ikusis would pretend to agree and then think of an opportunity to escape, but…
Today, this foolish girl seemed a bit off.
First, she gave me a moment of pretentious silence, then, in a voice I could barely hear, she whispered.
“Alright… fine.”
If this is some new trick of the Saintess, then so be it, but that’s not the point! Because at this moment, Ikusis really is thinking just that!
[Ikusis doesn’t want to go back!]
After all this effort, I finally got the idiot to see reason, but for a moment, I felt a bit “anxious” inside! Straining to turn my neck, I looked over, and the scene before me made me gasp.
Goodness, I had just been wondering why Ikusis hadn’t cried, made a fuss, or gotten bored during her hospital stay these past few days; it turns out this girl… has been staring at me without a moment’s pause!
[Ikusis has been staring at Oujilide all day!]
There was absolutely no foolishness in her gaze, which made it all the more eerie. I even suspected this woman was plotting when she would devour me!
Quick, get this idiot Saintess to clear my name, and then cut ties with her!
With that thought, I immediately spoke up!
“Ikusis, when the summit of the nations comes, and you need to ‘foretell’ for Oujilide, don’t forget what you promised me before.”
“Oh! You mean to revoke your wanted notice, right? Don’t worry! Such a simple matter, I definitely…”
I saw Ikusis pat her chest, but somehow, the assurance that followed got stuck in her throat and didn’t come out.
An eerie silence descended, accompanied by an even stranger script on my side.
[Ikusis began to hesitate about whether to suggest revoking Oujilide’s wanted notice!]
Huh? Wait!? What’s this direction!?
[Ikusis believes that if she doesn’t revoke Oujilide’s wanted notice, she won’t have to go back!]
Wait! Idiot Saintess! Is there something wrong with your thought process!?
[Because she doesn’t want to go back, Ikusis decides not to suggest revoking Oujilide’s wanted notice!]
[To avoid suggesting the revocation of Oujilide’s wanted notice, Ikusis decides to find an excuse to continue ‘observing’!]
In the script, there were a thousand words, but outside the script, Ikusis’s reaction turned into a whistle that completely exposed her inner thoughts.
“Shh~ Shh~ I’ll definitely get it revoked for you~”
You better say that with your conscience facing me!?
“Only an idiot would lie! I keep my word, so don’t blame me if you don’t understand! Idiot!”
The final line of the script appeared, and as I pieced together the reasons, I also dismissed the idea of dissuading Ikusis.
After all, I was too familiar with this content.
[Ikusis has set her sights on Oujilide.]
With a very bad premonition, I turned my head back to the ceiling, and as for Ikusis’s constant urging and complaints beside me, I couldn’t hear a single word.
“Oujilide, do you… have any interest in fairies or something?”
No, I don’t know, don’t think about it, don’t ask me.
“What do you think of me? I’m the great prophetic fairy, the strongest among fairies!”
Dog shit, boasting, go away.
If you really are the so-called “prophecy fairy,” the “treasure” in the script, wanting to recognize a master or something, then go find Kefir, the standard true protagonist, next door. Why come to me, the one you already know is the “big villain”? Aren’t you worried about losing your life following me? I’m afraid that if I snatch the protagonist’s treasure, I might just end up dead one day!
