Episode 49. Leon chase. (1)
It’s not enough that my older brother has disappeared, and I’ve been in contact with pagans.
“I’m going crazy. You don’t know where it is yet?”
“Yes. Mr. Ricard is looking for him now….”
Did the Count hold a grudge for being punished by both the Imperial Family and the Goddess Church for colluding with the heretics?
My father will die soon, but my mother will live.
Do you want to miss even your mother?
“You’re stupid, too.”
“Yes. That’s stupid. Really.”
At least, Johanna is able to lead a normal life because of Johanna’s mercy.
If it hadn’t been for my request, if Johanna had lacked a bit more mercy, he too would have been punished.
“So. Are you going to laugh now?”
“I have to find it.”
I can’t look at you anymore.
I wanted to lead it to the end intact if possible, but my brother crossed the line.
“You are amazing too.”
“What do you mean?”
“Is it possible that there is no family even if the first family is not lucky?”
“That’s right.”
There is no family luck in either the previous life or the current life.
Is there a curse on the soul?
“It won’t take long since we’re looking for it with all our might.”
“It’s not like there are no traces. Now the problem is how to handle it….”
If it’s up to the bishop, how would it be possible without my ability.
Because of the help of the mercenaries and even the saintess.
However, if the cardinal is involved, the words will be different.
“Are the Schlageter kids in the North now?”
“Yes. It’s hard to bring them because the barbarians are having a big problem right now.”
It is difficult to mobilize even the Schlageter children thanks to the savages who get very riotous in the absence of the Countess.
“Johanna. Couldn’t you get support from the school?”
“It’s possible, but the core isn’t good enough?”
“Haa…. It is like that too.”
I’d probably kill my brother on the spot, or he’d drag him away and try to deal with it.
I won’t be able to intervene in the middle.
“If this is the case, I will have no choice but to use my acquaintance’s chance.”
“You mean the princess?”
“Yes. The princess is indebted to me, so if you ask for help, she will surely help.”
The same goes for the knights around the princess.
“Are you close with the princess?”
“If you’re close, you’re close, but….”
Since he is a nobleman who will one day become emperor, I tried to be as close as possible.
“Has the Hardenberg side been finished?”
“Yes. It is definitely finished.”
“Then there will be no problem.”
Now that he has secured a force similar to that of the first prince, there won’t be any major problems for the time being.
“For now, Elias, I’ll ask you to continue tracking. It may be inconvenient for Johanna, but please wait here for a while.”
“What about you?”
“I have to go to the princess.”
Please help me without any strings attached.
***************
She didn’t seem happy with the princess she hadn’t seen in a while.
“Why should I help someone who is not my vassal?”
“… Is this long?”
However, I didn’t know you would reject it all at once.
Certainly, I wasn’t officially a vassal of the princess yet, but I think it’s a little too much to reject me right away after helping her so much.
“Huh. It’s been a long time since I’ve come and made a request without saying hello. Would you want to listen?”
“That…. Sorry.”
“All right. It’s not like I’m going to bow down.”
“…”
“Haa…. You guys really never end the case.”
“I think so too….”
It’s not something I can do anything about.
What can I do?
If I want to save the world, I have no choice but to run around here and there.
“So, heresy again?”
“Yes.”
“Is it really necessary to take her original daughter to such a dangerous place?”
“I’m sorry, but Florence-sama will be fine.”
With proper support from Johanna, even a cardinal wouldn’t be able to subdue the princess easily.
I won’t be playing either.
“… Yeah what. I will help you.”
“Thank you.”
“However, there are conditions.”
“What conditions do you mean?”
“When you are finished, give the original woman some time.”
“Well, I understand.”
The condition is not bad at this level.
I got help easier than I thought.
“Tsk, so mercy doesn’t seem careless, but is she aware that she did something stupid?”
“It was no mercy.”
“Well, yes well, if you are, then it must be so.”
It wasn’t real mercy.
It’s just that she still had something to get from her brother.
“Okay, it looks like you still have some time, so can you tell me something about your vacation?”
“Haven’t you heard everything from Elias?”
“Tsk, do you think listening across a bridge is the same as listening to the person in question? If so, she has no choice but to blame your stupidity, right?”
“… What. All right.”
It took longer than expected to explain everything that happened during vacation.
What happened in the count’s family, what happened in the duke’s family.
Of course, I couldn’t explain everything that happened in the duchy.
I only talked about the part that was officially announced.
The disappearance of the duke may have something to do with the devil. Enough?
“Let’s talk about everything. Elias has already told you everything.”
“… Elias?”
“Yes. I won’t care what you did, so just tell me.”
To be honest, I was a bit surprised.
I didn’t know that she even told the princess about all of that.
Did Elias judge the princess to be that trustworthy?
“I didn’t say anything because I wanted to deceive you.”
“Okay, let’s talk about everything.”
In the end, she had no choice but to talk.
Everything, even the intervention of the devil.
“Demon…. Can we get rid of them completely?”
“It’s too much.”
“Is there no way at all?”
“Yes.”
From noble mtl dot com
There is no way to completely block the door of Omphalos.
You can protect the surroundings and try to deal with the footsteps that come over, but even this is not impossible to trick and enter, so you can’t completely block it from the source.
“However, it can be suppressed to some extent.”
“I see….”
I am not omnipotent.
Obviously, there are parts that can’t be helped.
So that’s why he’s jumping on his feet and moving with difficulty.
“Okay. You don’t seem to need any help right away, so go in and rest.”
“It won’t take long.”
It won’t take too long to find.
A few days at most?
Now, only a short wait remains.
********************
“…”
“…”
Elias and Johanna were a little awkward with each other.
This is also our first meeting and neither of us has heard much about each other.
After Nico disappeared, there was no particular topic to talk about.
There was only silence for a long time, and finally Elias spoke first.
“Saint…. Is that right?”
“Right.”
“…”
“…”
Then immediately silence again.
Elias was a bit taken aback by the saintess’ appearance that was so different from what he had imagined, and Johanna couldn’t say anything because she thought she was too shy when they first met.
“Is that Elias?”
This time, Yohanna could not stand it and spoke first.
“Yes.”
“Can I ask what your relationship is with the golden horse?”
“Uh…. It is an employer-employee relationship.”
To be honest, Elias had no way to express it.
She didn’t even think about it herself.
“That…. By any chance, does Golden Horse know you as a man?”
“…Maybe.”
“Right….”
Johanna thought maybe so.
When he saw it, he was right about a woman, but wouldn’t he think of Nico as a handsome man? It’s because I’m dressed up like a man.
“Can I… tell you?”
“… It’s okay.”
“Right….”
“…”
“…”
The conversation didn’t go well at all.
“That…. I have some work to do….”
“Oh yes, go quickly.”
In the end, Elias, who couldn’t stand her silence, got up from her seat first.
As Elias left her shooting range, Johanna thought as she stretched her body, finally feeling a little more at ease.
‘That shopkeeper seems to like Nico…. I don’t know if he likes that dull kid.’
He saw that Nico was somewhat reliable and had a manly side, but he was a bit dull.
He’s not a bad guy…. Are you the type to suffer a bit if you date someone?
‘My eyes are full of pods…. Shall I sneak a poke?’
Johanna was also similar to her Emma.
When I was living with several nuns at Goddess Church, there was no proper entertainment.
All they do in their free time is who fought with whom or who likes whom.
Even when it comes to love between men and women, it’s an area where they don’t know each other well, so each person’s delusions are added and added to the point where they have a slightly wrong value.
The nuns of the Goddess Church were all close to lovemaking maniacs.
The same goes for Johanna, who has lived her entire life just like them.
However, since Johanna was chosen as a saint from a young age, she did not receive a more restrained life, proper relationship between men and women, and s*x education than ordinary nuns.
Someone had to…. No one dared to give such education to the saintess, so it was rather a problem because she only had very little knowledge, not a complete blank, but only too limited information.
The nuns who set her on fire were the nuns who tricked her into injecting her with false information.
Johanna, with her ability and the false knowledge of those nuns, rather thought that she was a thoroughly expert herself.
Rather, without knowing anything.
