Vol 9 Chapter 157 (2/2)
“Things like use as… Gods… why did humans…”
Shannon found herself afraid of that broken voice, and she restarted her work That moment, Novem called over to her
What’sdown to match her eye level
“Shannon-chan”
“Y-yes!”
Shannon let out a panicked voice, gathering the stares of the virgins around But thinking she was just being scolded again, the women quickly resumed their work
Nove To little of anything
“Once this is over, we’ll have lunch, so please do your best until then”
“… S-sure”
Shannon could only nod
(She didn’t notice? Thank the Goddess)
When she thought that, Novem offered a line
“And please forget the words you’ve just heard fro”
The last nail of the coffin was haain…

… Lorphys’ royal castle
May met with Alette and Lonbolt in one of its rooms
When she handed over the letter in her possession, Lonbolt put his hand to his ht an explanation
“Prime minister, how fares Zayin?”
Lonbolt wiped off his sweat, and handed off the letter to Alette When she took it, she looked over its contents, and opened her eyes wide
“With only… with only a hundred men, he reclaimed Zayin, you say? He really did it?”
She looked between May and the letter a few times, so May spoke
“That’s why I said it That Lyle brought Zayin down So he toldas you’d promised”
May didn’t sound too interested, as she munched on the snacks on top of the table
Lonbolt spoke
“… Attack and overthrow Selva? If it’s now, then even if forcefully, we can form the international alliance we pro ruin to them”
On that statement, May stuffed the final snack into her mouth, and sed
“That was the plan from the start, wasn’t it? And the one that started this was Selva While I’m at it, the ones who attacked Lyle werepeople of Selve, weren’t they? Honor your promise”
May spoke in a childish voice, but Alette
“Do you knohat that means? To overthrow is…”
May tilted her head
“Swapping out the boss, right?”
May was a quilin, and you couldn’t say her thoughts were too close to hu of turf dispute level
And Lyle’s opinion was the Fifth, Fredricks’ opinion May owed Fredricks the debt of having saved her life
“If you cannot muve, then perhaps Lyle will move on his own But in that case, I don’t knohat’s to come”
Even alone, he would be able to conquer Selva That’s how she made it sound to the two of them And in truth, with minimal manpower, Lyle had won over Zayin
Lonbolt found that ability of his to be dreadful
“We’ll hold a ive a response immediately”
May stood, and headed for theThey were on quite a high point of the castle, but regardless of that, she cli around
Finally…
“Then I’ll go tell Lyle you’ll have a ”
Saying that, she leapt out
The tatching her back thought about how they never kne she did it, no matter how many times they watched…

… As Monica cleaned, she looked at the space around her
Destruction via ic, and a stained floor
As she cleaned it all, a few days had already passed
“When I’ care of that Chicken dickhy is it that I have to put so much of my effort in? Recently, I haven’t been able to look after hi my motivation”
As unh-spec automaton made
Her surroundings rapidly grew cleaner and cleaner
“I worked hard I worked really hard this time, and yet…”
A displeased Monica was quite disappointed that she couldn’t stay at Lyle’s side There, she saw Aura walking down the hallway
She was surrounded by teht Vice-Captain Creit along
“Good day, Monica The weather sure is nice today”
Creit’s sweltering smile showed that this veryThere, a virgin cautioned him
“Vice-captain, you cannot greet people as we move Because others are meant to open a path for the Holy Maiden”
“Is that how it is? Now that’s a pain”
And letting out a sigh, Aura waved her hand dismissively
“Yeah, we’re not having any of that fro to break it all down, andup the necessary ones later”
As she ordered the consecrated virgins, tone aside, she was the Holy Maiden As for clothing she was still wearing the outfit Monica made, that showed off the lines of her body
Behind her walked Remis in handcuffs
“Oh, are you already leaving?”
Aura nodded
“That’s right She’s already dead in Zayin, so it’s deportation for her She’ll be allowed to carry an extent of her assets”
Aura hadn’t killed Remis, but Thelma was the sa that, neither of them could take drastic measures
But they couldn’t leave her in Zayin
The opposing faction had already been crushed, but there was no saying Remis wouldn’t try a rebellion of her own So deportation
“You sure are kind Though I doubt the Chicken dickould kill her either He’s kind on women… if only he would be kind to me as well”
Aura looked fed-up as Monica unraveled her true feelings And a single virgin…
“I will not allow you to speak such rude words of Knight Captain Lyle-saht of Love!”
Monica looked dedlighted
“Oh? I’d like to hear ht of Love? Should I call it fitting of him, or a bit more than that… won’t you tell me?”
Ignoring Monica as she drew closer, Aura walked off
“Hey, let’s go”
There, Remis spoke
“I’ll definitely ret this I hated the country of Lorphys for killing my father, but now is different Now, you’re the one I hate most”
Aura answered her words with an unconcerned attitude
“I see”
And cut it short at tords…

… Inside the Jewel
The Third looked at the Three weapons floating above the round table
The first was a giant sword
Then a bow
And finally a halberd
He extended his hand towards those silver weapons, but the Third wasn’t able to touch them It was as if they kneho their master was
The Fourth looked at the empty chairs around the table
『Our nuone down』
The Fifth hung hie head
『Right』
The Seventh looked at the doors on the walls of the room The entrance to the rooms of memories There were now five of them
『We only have five doors now They’ve gone down yet ag… wait, what?』
Five…
The Third stood from his seat, and looked at the new door that had manifested The chair in front of it was Lyle’s
『After this long… no, it’s already been a year It’s not strange if it cauess』
The formation of Lyle’s room of memories caused an outbreak of silence within the Jewel
And the Third…
『… Want to take a peek?』
There, the Fourth, stood, and pushed up his glasses with a finger
『You’re curious? Then there’s no helping it』
The Fifth stood as well
『No, you look like you’re all for it』
The Seventh’s seat was closest to the door, so he took the head of the charge
『First』
There, the Third
『Ah, a cheap shot!』
As he scrambled forward to overtake him, the Seventh opened the door, and closed it at once When the Third approached it in wonder, the Seventh shook his head
『There’s no such thing as fatigue here, but…』
The Fourth approached the door
『What are you doing? Good grief… see, there’s nothing… hmm? What the hell!!?』
When the Fourth opened the door with a sh as he slammed it shut And quietly…
『That isn’t possible Why? And this is supposed to be Lyle’s room of memories There’s no way he ever met her』
Curious, the Fifth opened the door And he slowly closed it, and tilted his head
『How strange I’m sure this isn’t my room, but…』
The Third couldn’t understand So he opened it himself
There, he found a scene of theout
『… Eh?』
And noticing hi boy waved his hand
『Sleigh, today we have grandma’s stew It’s a bit over seasoned, but make sure you drink it all doithout corandma cry』
Seeing the small boy’s smile, the Third slammed the door shut
His breathing was a mess
『… Why is Dewey… here… this isn’t my room And I don’t have a memory like that… I shouldn’t have one』
The one that appeared was the Third’s deceased elder brother, a young 【Dewey】
And he had moved before him as if he were truly alive It wasn’t the set movement pattern of a simple memory
The Third retreated back a few steps, and looked at the door
Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh… the four men stood dumbfounded before Lyle’s room of memories…
