Hero’s Hunt (1)
Walpurgis whispered as she bowed her head and stoppedher helmet
“Valler, what I am about to show you is a secret that no one other than the nuns and order know”
“In that case, will it be alright for me to know it?”
The relationshi+p with her in the past
The relationshi+p with her now
What caused the difference in the situation? Even in the past, Walpurgis was a close friend We shared a friendshi+p as firm as a stone statue
We have been in the battlefield for sothat tiis had never taken off her helmet
Right now, our relationshi+p has only been a few days And I can’t figure out what exactly moved her to this
“Honestly, I’ this secret But this is what my heart says Valler, please look”
And there was no reason to decline those words Even I was curious about her secret Walpurgis nodded her head and finally took off her helmet
“Ah!”
Words of admiration ca in the sun I remembered the Fairy Queen that I saw once
And her face She bit down on her lip as if trying to hide her shyness, and I felt like I was going to get an adrenaline rush if the girl was going to look at me like that
Being this beautiful I wonder if such a beauty even existed in a royal family
“Walpurgis is the Goddess……”
I re unintentionally beautiful I even thought that she ht definitely be the Goddess In the last hundred years that I’ve been here, I saw nuht in front of my eyes
But
But, words to praise her beauty didn’t come out from my mouth
“… it’s a curse”
“I see”
Half of Walpurgis’ left cheek, till a part of her jaas distorted because of the curse About 1/3rd of the entire face was messed up
This is an alternate… what curse could this be This hy she was covering her face like that Besides, the aura of the curse was not an illusion It see that was difficult to be explained
I was intuitively
able to identify that this curse was sos wouldn’t even dare to do such a thing
“… do the congregation of the sisters also know?”
“Of course This is why Abbess and the others protect me it was because of this curse that Walpur had a connection with the Sisterhood in the first place And ation”
“What curse is this?”
These were things that I haven’t seen before Walpurgis just lowered her head
“I’m sorry I can’t talk about that I don’t want to talk about this curse”
“If that’s so, then why did you show it to me?”
Walpurgis hesitated at my question for a while Then with a lot of effort she opened her lips
“… that, because you received the curse”
“Did you by any chance, show me that to comfort me?”
Nod nod
Walpurgis nodded her shy face in agree she did to comfort me This hy she looked at me orry in her eyes
I guess, I s Still being a girl, Walpurgis was this cute
However, the words that folloere pretty astonishi+ng
“Valler Even if it gets tough, endure it My sisters and the congregation will definitely try and find a way to solve your curse Know this as well There are many more beside you who live in the arms of the curse”
“Lady Walpurgis”
“A sixteen year old girl has also overco to overcome it I’ll surely protect you”
No, if she was going to be this cute, I ht comeback
“And it isn’t because I showed you my face Valler, You saved my life And you saved the life of Abbess whom I follow like a mother Because of that I want to be honest with you And you………”
Walpurgis words faded and after a while she whispered with a face that seee
“I was hoping that you would understand ly side”
The face of Walpurgis went still as I stretched out my hand She had transparent white skin without any specks
Walpurgis flinched for a second but a while later she accepted my hand
“Ugly? Hasn’t ly, I wonder? And could you give ly?”
I noticed a change in appearance of Walpurgis towards me and that impressed me a little
“Valler…… I guess I’rateful”
She looked at me and smiled happily She is the prettiest person in this world when she sis, ent blank for a moment
But at that moment
[It is possible to recruit your colleague Walpurgis whenever it is needed] [You can receive help with her power and strength!]
A e of companion recruitment popped up Even then I wasn’t much surprised or elated because of it Maybe because it was quite frequent in the past However, now this felt a little special
No, thiswasn’t special just because Walpurgis expressed her gratefulness towards me
“Valler”
“Yes”
“There is onethat you need to know…”
After I listened to that, she nodded her head, came close to my face, stood close to me, and said in a voice that only I could hear
“Walpurgis is a’s festival’s nais My ‘Nais To celebrate that day, the nuns gave me that name”
She probably had a real na
“Valler, remember My real name is…… Charlotte”
