I Became a Childhood Friend With the Villainous Saintess chapter 65

65 – Wish (2)

A stormy day passes, the second day of the festival.

I don’t know if I should call this a blessing, but it gave me some time.

Russell had come to her barony with Isha.

He said he was bringing several documents from Crescent Moon’s archives, and it seemed like they arrived at the promised time.

Thanks to this, Baron Isquente was put on alert. Sirien also said he would help the Baron today, so he seems to be busy in many ways.

In the meantime, I decided to calm down my disturbed mind.

Sirien and Baron Isquente. The three people, including Russell, entered the conference room as soon as they finished eating and did not come out.

– First of all, this is a list of nobles who are friendly to us.

– These are all just such names. I don’t think it will help at all.

– This will be different! What about these people here?

– Come to your senses. I guess it’s hard to guess because you live so casually, but the other party is a marquis family with over a hundred years of history. Even if you gather these minnows, they are useless.

– Is that true?

At first, I was also in the conference room.

But as expected, politics and other things had nothing to do with me.

Sirien just threw the papers on her floor, and there was nothing I could do about it.

She tried to make him a cup of tea, but she scolded him and told him to call a maid instead.

– First of all, don’t think that imperial law will be fair to you. If the authorities do not match, there is no need to open a law book. If the judge thought the Marquis was angry, he would bow his head in court too, right?

– Oh my god. So what should I do? The people whom the saint just treated like minnows are all the connections I can use.

– If you don’t have a network, you have to create one. First, investigate the grudge relationship with Marquis Eloran. If you start from the eastern part, there will definitely be one. Oh, and leave out this name too. Because they are involved in the iron ore business, they will never take your side.

– I will take care of that.

In the end, I had to escape.

Even if I’m listening, I can’t quite follow the flow, so what can I do if I’m right next to you?

I didn’t want to show my ignorance just by saying something for no reason.

Sirien will definitely come up with a much better conclusion than my clumsy brainstorming.

I had absolute trust in Sirien’s judgment.

…… It was definitely not because I was embarrassed to see him because of what happened yesterday.

Fortunately, there was someone other than me who couldn’t understand what the three people were saying.

“Haaap!”

Percussion! I caught Isha’s attack and bounced it away.

The wooden sword flew aimlessly and rolled around on the sandy floor of the training ground.

“It wasn’t bad just now. “It would have been better if they had hidden their intentions a little more.”

“Where did you get caught?”

“Snow. It was good that I faked it, but I was looking ahead to see where I was going to attack.”

“Oh my god. You can recognize it that way. “I’ll try again.”

There was nothing better than cutting to organize my thoughts.

This time, I was taking care of the sword of Isha, who had become a useless companion with me.

Although the evaluation was a bit harsh just now, I guess Sword Master’s talents are different.

The speed of growth was surprising. It’s not just about knowing ten things by simply telling them one thing, it’s about creating new concepts and modifying your existing self at the same time.

Would you say that changing yourself is free?

In particular, Isha’s ‘silent sword’ could be said to be a completely unique domain.

Even I couldn’t bring myself to follow along. I think it would be roughly the same, but I couldn’t even erase the slight wind noise.

Even though my current skills aren’t great, I felt like I could grow explosively with just a little push from behind.

“Okay. “It’s increased since before.”

“For even saying that, you haven’t even moved a single step.”

“I need to practice more to get there. “I also didn’t acquire skills while playing.”

Tak! Crack! Widely! The sound of the trees rang out clearly.

It was a sound that seemed to awaken many thoughts in my head.

“I had high expectations for the festival, but it looks like my dad has no intention of coming out. He wanted to go. “Has Lord Rajen been there?”

“It’s a festival…… I’ve been there. “The problem is that I had such a great time.”

Tomorrow was the last day of the festival.

When the sun sets and night falls, a fire will be lit in the pyre that I saw then.

In front of a roaring fire, Sirien will ask me to make a wish.

What to pray for…… I knew it well too.

No matter how clueless you are, how could you not know what happened yesterday?

The worries inside me were not resolved yet, but it was impossible to hesitate any longer while Sirien waited so long for an answer.

A decision had to be made one way or another.

“Isha.”

“Ugh! “Am I doing something wrong again?”

“What gift should I choose to give to a girl when I confess to her?”

“Yes?”

* * *

I was fortunate to have Isha.

Normally, in times like this, my sister or friend would choose the gift, but of course, I didn’t have or lacked either of them.

Of course, the three people in the conference room are excluded.

Most of the people I knew in this territory were dull men, and the women I knew were all on the front lines.

She said Sirien had sent her messenger in the morning, but it would still take her two days to reach the barony.

Even after washing her eyes and searching for her, Isha was the only one who could ask for this.

“Ugh, is it really okay for someone like me to help you?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t say anything even if the results are bad. “I’m not that bad.”

“Ah, yes… …. “Are you trying to do this to the saint?”

“That’s right. “I’m worried because I don’t know what would be a good gift.”

Isha still had a hard time with me, but she seemed to be doing better than before.

Requitas was so scared that they thought I had done something.

I’m not sure if time is a cure, or if looking at the sword this time was effective.

Isha obediently followed me to the village and toured the festival with me.

“Have you thought of anything in advance?”

“At first, I thought I would buy you something like jewelry, but Requitas bought it for me once. “I think it might be too boring.”

“I know that. “He boasted to me too.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

She must have been bragging to Isha in the meantime.

She seemed to like it, but she didn’t expect it to be this much.

Is she going to brag about it to everyone she meets?

Apart from tomorrow, it would be a good idea to prepare at least one more pretty accessory.

If she had known she would brag like that, she would have found something much better. I felt sad inside.

“I think a saint would be happy to receive any gift.”

“That’s because I don’t want to pass it off like that.”

“Hmm, what have you always liked?”

“Sirien liked it.”

The Sirien I know was not obsessed with flashy or expensive things.

A noble among nobles. Even in this vast and vast empire, Sirien was born with the most precious bloodline.

Gold or jewels will not be able to impress you at all.

What Sirien usually enjoys is, of course, sweet desserts.

Other than that, all he did was simply go for a walk with me or flirt in small ways.

She also seemed to like books, but I didn’t have the insight for that.

“Think about it slowly. It’s not much of a piece of advice to give, but women are weak to atmosphere. “You can see sincerity, you can feel sincerity, things like that.”

“Hmm.”

We looked around the market together, but there was nothing particularly new.

These were all things I looked around with Sirien yesterday. Maybe it was because I had seen it for the first time back then, but now I felt bored with it.

She bought snacks for Isha, who had been helping her in many ways, as a reward, and also put plenty of food for the three people who were struggling in her conference room.

As I was walking around, I also noticed pretty bracelets and accessories. Even though Isha chose a few items, she didn’t like any of them.

“She should have come wearing thicker clothes. “The cold wind is already blowing.”

“If it’s cold, shall we just go in?”

“No, it’s okay. “Maybe it’s because there are so many people, but it’s still bearable.”

Sincerely. I’m serious.

The words Isha said got stuck in her throat and did not go down well.

Once again, these were very difficult words.

Because while dealing with Sirien, I have never been less sincere.

The adversity we went through was the kind of thing we could never overcome without each other’s sincerity.

If I hadn’t dedicated myself to protecting her, Sirien would have died in the hut.

On the other hand, if Sirien had not risked her life for me, I would have died of poison from the spider venom.

It was clear that if it wasn’t for each other on the battlefield, we would have faced many crises.

So it was very difficult to express my sincerity.

We have always done it that way, so how can we express it further?

“Ah…… !”

At that time, a memory suddenly passed through her head.

“Did you think of something?”

“Yes. “I’m sorry, but I’ll be back quickly. Could you hold on to this and wait for me?”

“I’ll wait. Please come back quickly.”

I was thinking wrong from the beginning.

I just thought it was too difficult. Since when did Sirien and I try to confirm each other’s sincerity?

To us, sincerity and trust were as natural as breathing.

I quickly ran across the market.
