Chapter 127 – I’ll have to attack the tricky saint first.
Chapter 125
Hearing the word child, Elfriede was strangely surprised.
From noble mtl dot com.
…I think I’m seriously mistaken about something.
“Ah, Abel…”
Elfriede looked at me with a fatherly attitude. If she had a problem, it was that the way she looked at me was unusual.
…What are you thinking?
“Uh, how… I already have a child…”
“Yes?”
“Whose child is this!? Saint Celine’s child? Or is it Saint Estelle’s child here???”
“What are you talking about!?!”
As expected, I had a strange misunderstanding. Estelle, who heard Elfriede’s hard illusion, also blushed slightly. Because it sounded so embarrassing.
I explained to Elfride by mentioning her natural facts.
“Elfriede, how long have I been in love with you?”
“…Ah, that’s right.”
Elfriede, who had come back to reason, apologized to Estelle and me for misunderstanding, and Elena for some reason showed regret.
…Why do you show regret?
Elfriede asked Estelle.
“Then, who is the child that Saint Celine is taking care of?”
“A child who subdued and picked up monsters. We are taking care of it for a while.”
“Well, I see.”
… Come to think of it, isn’t Elfriede able to grasp the intentions of her opponent with her Holy Sword of Trust? If we bring up a story to hide something from her, it will show that we are trying to hide something.
Doesn’t that mean that even if she does goo, everyone gets caught? Is this ok?
But I think my worries were for nothing. Elfride isn’t very suspicious and she’s passed on.
“Then Saint Celine and her child should come and live in her mansion…”
“My child is afraid of a big mansion. Please understand.”
“…Is that so?”
Elfride nodded her head in understanding, and I said to Elfride.
“Then I’ll go and talk to Celine for a bit.”
“Okay. Let’s eat when we get back.”
“Good.”

Estelle, Elfriede, and Elena are left behind when Abel leaves to tell Celine the news.
The three women became a bit awkward. To be precise, the relationship between Estelle and the Bathory sisters was awkward. It was fine when there was a beachhead named Abel, but she was so deng, so she was left with only three, so there was nothing to say.
Like that, the silence continued. Estelle was the first to speak in such an awkward atmosphere.
“…Is this fixed now?”
“Yes? What are you talking about?”
“Princess Elena and Hero Elfriede are now free. Now that the troubles have been resolved, she doesn’t have to rely on Abel anymore.”
Estelle said, placing her hand on her chest.
“Now, please refrain from intentionally approaching Abel, you two.”
“…Intentionally approaching?”
“You think I don’t know? Hero Elfriede, I know that you confessed your feelings to Abel.”
“…!”
Elfriede was a little surprised, and Elena looked at her sister in a little surprise, as if it was the first time she had heard of it.
“Sister, you cut in line!”
“Now, wait a minute. What are you talking about, Elena?”
Elena puffed out her cheeks a little, and Elfriede was a little taken aback when he saw his sister like that. However, after hearing Elena’s words, Estelle slightly narrowed her eyebrows.
“…Cut in the line? Who said you’d let me stand in line? To begin with, Princess Elena isn’t even an adult yet!”
“I like people, but I don’t think age is that important. And isn’t Hero Abel giving permission? Why is the saintess like that?”
Estelle frowned at Elena’s bold words.
“Because I am Abel’s first. I am Abel’s only companion. So, of course, I have to give permission.”
“Yui? Then, if you allowed the second time, why not the third and fourth?”
“The second time I was forced to allow it! Because there was an unavoidable accident…!”
Hearing Estelle’s words, Elena narrowed her eyes slightly as she spoke.
“Huh, buy it.”
“…What are you thinking, princess?”
“No. It sounds like an unavoidable accident.”
There was no way Estelle wouldn’t understand Elena’s meaningful words. Estelle, who grasped the meaning of her words, said in a fit of anger.
“Don’t even think of seducing Abel! I really warned you!”
“Oh, I never said I would.”
While Estelle and Elena were engaged in a war of nerves, Elfriede thought to herself.
‘Then, in order to win Abel’s heart, I must first win Saint Estelle’s heart.’
Although she is a bit hostile toward herself now, it was clear that Saint Estelle was a naturally good person. She must have been chosen as a saint, and Goddess Solaria must have ordained her as well.
Then…
“Saint Estelle.”
“Yes?”
“As you said, it would be unreasonable to covet Abel, who has a lover. Even if you practice polygamy.”
“…?”
“Sister?”
Elena was surprised, but Estelle was taken aback. She wonders why this woman is doing this all of a sudden.
She obviously thought she would be anxious to hit Abel, but she was taken aback when she suddenly came out in agreement with her opinion.
Estelle couldn’t believe her, so she asked Elfriede.
“…Do you really think so?”
“Yes, of course I confessed my feelings to Abel, but I am not sure if this is love for Abel. It’s just that he’s a little… Special.”
“…That’s what you like.”
“Perhaps. But just because I like him, wouldn’t it be reasonable to intervene between already happy lovers?”
“…Yes, that’s what I mean. That’s why I told you not to approach Abel…”
“Okay. If the saintess thinks so.”
“Yes?”
Estelle was puzzled by Elfriede, whom she accepted so easily. But Elfriede said she had a nice smile on her face.
“You will help me and my family in the future, but I don’t think there is any need to create bad feelings in advance. If the saintess doesn’t want it, I won’t let Abel approach her swordsmanship outside of hours.”
“…Really?”
“Yes, of course.”
Elfriede’s attitude seemed sincere. She was convinced that even Elena her sister was telling the truth and not lying.
Estel is also good at looking at people. She was good at noticing whether someone was lying or telling the truth. Even to Estelle, Elfriede seemed to be telling the truth.
“…Ah, I see. If you say that, then there is no reason for me to say anything to Hero Elfriede.”
“That’s good. Then, shall we discuss business in the future?”
“Yes, yes.”
When Elfriede came out as the author, Estelle was slightly embarrassed and wiggled her fingers through his hair.
She naturally thought that they would fight like Elena, but she misunderstood that she came in with her bowed down like this, and she did it because she was ashamed of herself.
But she had a fact that Estelle didn’t know. Of course, Elfriede’s behavior and attitude were intentional.
‘To get Abel, I’ll have to attack this tricky saint first.’
She is a woman who never misses what she wants to achieve once, Elfrie de Bathory. She wanted to win Estelle’s heart first in order to win her Abel.
Estelle was delighted without knowing Elfride’s intentions at all, and Elena still tilted her head, not understanding her sister’s actions.

“Celine, are you there?”
I went to the inn where Celine was staying. When I knocked on the inn door, a pretty saintess who seemed to have just woken up opened the door and came out.
“Huh, hero? What are you doing?”
“Did you sleep?”
“A little bit with Alicia…”
Looks like he took a nap. Celine gave a small yawn, and I smiled lightly and told her what had happened. Then Celine was surprised at what I had done, but she said she did well.
Celine asked me.
“Then Hero Elfriede and Princess Elena are now free. Even if the hero doesn’t accept them.”
“Is that so?”
“Then can I be a little relieved~?”
“…Huh, I will. In the first place, if I had to bring the two of them after receiving a title, Estelle would have allowed me to do it then… I’ve solved it in a different way now.”
“Whoops, I don’t think there will be more competitors.”
Celine seemed to like it quite a bit.
Honestly, if you ask me if I like those two sisters, I can answer ‘no’ too. I have a crush on you, but if you ask me if I like and love you…Well.
We don’t have that many points of contact yet. I liked El Friede too, but I had a strong feeling that she was still a friend.
Especially Elena…What to a child who is not even an adult? If Elfriede makes up his mind and seduces her, she feels anxious that she might be hard to bear, but she should endure it by thinking of Estelle and Celine.
“Oh, Celine. Didn’t Alicia say something?”
“Yes, the demon king is said to be quiet.”
“…Maybe it’s less useful than I thought, that guy.”
“Still, since we were together, it was cute. I guess not all mothers are bad.”
“Really?”
Looks like you liked it more than you thought. Well, if you just don’t know, he’s a cute kid.
“Then Saint Estelle won’t be able to come for a while.”
“I think so. I’ll come often instead, Celine.”
“I like it~&”
Celine laughed lightly, and she grabbed my hand.
“Celine?”
“We…we couldn’t do it last time.”
“Ah.”
She said then that she was interrupted. Celine whispered softly to me.
“Since Alicia is sleeping in bed, should she go into the bathroom?”
“…Can you hold back?”
“Hero, please block it with your lips~&”
“Heh heh.”
I really can’t stand Celine flirting.
I was led into the room by Celine’s hand.
When I left the inn and went back to Bathory Mansion, it was around the time the sun started to set.
