Vol 3 Chapter 139 (2/2)

The city where the two of us walked without anything that was a particular conversation is, quiet and heavy

……It’s the air I sensed in Wilton

If things were normal, the outside of the castle walls would overfloith enthusiasm like a market was open every day

It’s the strong peculiar liveliness of life’s brilliance, and a culture unlike the orderly city environs and peaceful residences within the walls

That is currently, showing an expression like a child shrinking her body due to a draft of cold air

Even if I go as far as where that stand had been put out, that boy’s presence isn’t here

Did he evacuate……?

In that case, that way is best

Kran will definitely choose a siege battle

Because setting out will be impossible if we’re advanced on from north, west and east

If that comes to pass then as much as

outside of that will……

「Ilya, the outcoe battle is?」

「Reinforcements arriveIn the case where that doesn’t happen, I suppose victory is impossible」

It is as she said

Then where will reinforcements come from?

Because it’s Kran’s otiations but……

「Having reinforceton retreat really is best isn’t it……」

Thinking realistically

「Looking at the desperate situation of that country, even if we assu for reinforcements is most extraordinarily painful but……」

The commonwealth will also anticipate that and, I suppose they’ll start by invading froton……

There’s no ti with the likes of other countries, I suppose reconstruction comes first but……

「Even in the emotional aspects, I love the people of that country so……if it has to be one or the other, I’ll save them」

It’s fine if Kran saves Kran

I’ve conveyed my will

I’ton

「Yes, my, ladyYou shall observe, our loyalty」

「I know I’ic resolve?」

I suppose it certainly will become a battle with our lives on the line

I stopped s, and turned around

I put a hand, on the cheek of Ilya’s poker face

「Since even so, I will not permit death」

「Hai……Because with such a thing as leaving ojousa ahead, the mind will not be at ease」

「Mou, what? Like you’re holding a child in your hands～」

I go and puff my cheeks like it’s intentional and, Ilya broke into a soft expression

「Because there’s worth in living」

「Ilya, you’re finally saying so incredible?」

「Fufu, did I say it?」

「It was like a confession you know?」

Ilya made an elated face and, displayed one closed eye

It’s a secret okay, her fingertip seeht it to her lips and, it was char

「This is a secret but, the truth is that I, am in love with, that which is ojousama」

Speaking as if she were irl’s heart is too strong

Overcoree

「That, so? That is, well, I’m happy……」

But it’s e!

「The ojousaeting is, my favorite」

「……」

I don’t understand

This girl alone, I don’t understand……

「Ilya」

「Hai, ojousama」

「I’et back」

「Thank you very much」

I feel that her reply was strange though wassn’t it

As if to obfuscate the face that had turned red, I showed a tsun and, promptly walked off

Fro herself cah……

◇■◇■◇

「This place is……」

I walk further and, I come across a worn down church

While weeds have corounds, the church’s syone

It see now

I caught sight of two huures there

A them one person had, a very familiar face

She aving expressionlessly, before I could

As expected she’s fast on the uptake or rather, I suppose she realized it before I could

Since that girl has eyes that can see farther than anyone

「Aim, quite a coincidence isn’t this」

「Nn, we meet in an unlikely place」

Should I suppose Aim comes here often?

Next to her, a child who I’ is with her

Are those a sister’s clothes?

An adorable girl, with a settled atmosphere

「Nn, I’ll introduce youRana」

「Mou Aim, that doesn’t become an introduction at all you know」

「That so?」

Looking at the vibe, they seem to have a familial relationshi+p don’t they

「Ano, good to meet youI’ve always been in Aim’s careAim’s careI have been allowed to act as a sister for the church within the walls, I am called RanaI’ with Aim」

「Thank you for the etiquetteI am AliceThis is Ilya」

「I ahtning Fairy-samaI’ve always heard your stories from Aim so……ano, has this child, not caused any sort of bother?」

Rather than saying childhood friend, she has an oneesan like sort of impression

「Nn, don’t worry RanaShe lets enerous」

「I, I’m sorry!」

It ended with Ransan lowering her head to me

「Fufuu, it’s alright RansanSince beyond that Aiood work for me」

Ransan, is as overly serious as she appears isn’t she

It seems like anxieties will pile up when she’s with Aim

「Then, it’s fine but……ano, about work……」

……Aah, is that it

The thing I’ her『kill humans』too

It would be best to, explain myself wouldn’t it……I can’t obfuscate this

「Ano……I am……」

「Aah, it’s fine! Ano, I don’t, have any intention of speaking out about Aientle face so, just that makes me feel secure」

A gentle, face……?

I observe Aim’s face which appears to be expressionless in the true sense of the word, unlike the poker faced Ilya

Under one of her eyes that appears to be hidden asyed face that’s like it has a noh mask on it

Sta～～re and I try watching her

「Nn, do a kiss?」

「You don’t change, within this public visibility do you」

I had a feeling that, the Ai her triumphant face

In short, I can’t read the subtleties of her emotions to that extent

As expected of a childhood friend

「It has been since our ti herself as such so, I’m happy……」

「Is that so, I’h」

Ransan is, staring at the church with no bell with narrowed eyes

Should I suppose a vivid recollection is reflected, beyond that gaze?

「HaiThus, just a little, I ca to pray only during troubled tih」

I don’t know, such things as ill come of this battle’s course

I shouldn’t spout off with boastful words

But I ht currently, be in a position where I should do that

「It’s alright even if you don’t worrySince ill, show them be driven off」

「Lightning Fairy-sama……」

It’s eether, as ifa prayer to God-sama

「The people who can evacuate have done so but, since a church like ours that has been entrusted with orphans……it’s fine if at least just the children are protected, somehow……」

A person like the holy mother-sama isn’t she, Aim’s childhood friend

So before battle became warm

I found an objective or rather, should I say I was able to recall so anew

I, really do want to protect what I can protect

「Nn, don’t worry, RanaBecause uys from the commonwealth, will be scared out of their wits」

「Don’t exaggerate okay, Aim」

But, that’s so isn’t it

It isn’t light, this title

In truth, e person wassn’t she

「But, I’ll show it be protected」

Becoed church

Not to God-sama but, to whoever it was, that Ai to

――Now then, we set out tomorrow

it feels like I ve seen the leaves turn a thousand ti as I wonder, when next we ll be able to et anything out of it even if he accoirl like me Should I assume there has not been an occasion for ojousama to look at herself in a mirror It would require quite the effort for the men of this world to maintain their reason in front of ojousaue as always I m reassuredWhat, surely a businessh when the world becomes stormyFor the nonce, I did a handshake with the eyepatch ossan who s celebrating our reunionThough even the level of a hug would be fine wouldn t itIs your business going suys called

sives such guidanceOjousama, believes in God then IpersonageThe fact that I m here in this form is due to God sama s mischief so, I woudn t not say I was hidden by God but But, however far ht path such that it s fine even if I m embraced by a man It s too scary so, I feel I could even swear to God that that alone will not be though It does feel that way doesn t it Then Beltran sama, would it be fine even if I went ahead and statedto ojousama s selfishness is my current entertainmentFufu, then Ilya Yes, my, ladyI call out to her and, Ilya offered out parchmentThere is of course paper, in this

that he s thinking about bewildering aains in his headShould Ihere to mean that I want to say I want to ad that the business fundamentally proceeds under the people of the coht fro taken froh There is

feels admirableBut, she s cruel isn t she The Goddess sama of fateI see, rather than a Goddess of ill nature, surely it s more constructive to bet on the Goddess before your eyesYou truly are a deeply interesting personageFufu, has Beltran saht a disease or such where you ll die if you don t sweet talk oodHowever God is I don t believe in oneI give ives a harsh smileU n, he s not kurozukume, the

really don t want to be disliked by ojousama after allIt s fine then I feel that it s the correct decision, when I see that s like eAn exceptional condition isn t thatIf you say you won t particularly speak up regarding the direction of ained a reassuring sponsorIf that is ojousaains for this co considerable expenses but, since if I look at the long run the benefits are also large for this side

there are often occasions where that cannot be realizedAt those tih which to reason about such a thing as good and evilWhat there is is the winner and loser, to live or die, there s only thatThere is nothing of the sort to be thought of at length, while iht I ht be hell after tohtThe path ojousama follows is, my pathLet me show even the fires of hell be received with this bodyIt s hot you know , probablyEnough to dieFufu, after death, I wonder what becoh to die fro irl is incredibleIn Ilya s case, were I to say it with a smile, she seems like she really would take on even hellfire without raising a single groanBut well, if Ilya comes with me, it feels like anywhere would be home doesn t itBy the way ojousaYou have a flexible faith don t youI believe in myselfThen, I will also join the
