Reincarnated Young Lady Aims to Be an Adventurer - Volume 7 Chapter 113

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

The Royal Castle was half destroyed due to yesterday’s incident. Several people died. Hundreds of people were injured. Some of the ministers who were present at the audience died because they didn’t manage to get away. Eris’s temple and Papa are discussing about how to inform the people about the situation of the king and queen. The ninja of Trundle quietly reported.

In front of the guild leaders plus Sasara-san and Alma-chan, who I promised yesterday, I cut open the seal on the letter from His Highness Schneider that arrived the first thing in the morning.

……What is this?

“Miss?”

“He wrote that it’ll be settled……during the New Year……at the stadium of the Magic Academy.”

Lu got angry the moment he heard it.

『That young man dares!!! 』

As I was dazed, Grandpa Sieg took the letter from my hand and looked at it.

“He’s saying that ‘It’ll be easier to accept the result of the match without leaving any hard feelings if we fight fairly in the stadium, right? You don’t want to cause any more damage to the city, right?’ What is he talking about? Even though they’re the ones that are causing damages.”

In the New Year, I will become 17 years old and he chose the Magic Academy as the stage.

Schneider had gone out of his way to recreate my condemnation scene.

『He has such a bad taste……』

Even though Schneider had a nice face, he still got judged harshly by Miyu-tan.

There was another sheet of paper inside the envelope. It was a picture of His Majesty the King resting in bed.

“It’s quite an elaborate picture, isn’t it?”

Matt-kun tilted his head. Gilbert-san wrinkled his brow and looked at the picture.

It seems that Schneider had also developed a picture, in other words, a camera or something with the same function. I wonder if he knew a lot about this kind of thing in his past life? He’s a guy though? Even though I’m from the generation that had digital cameras?

I feel much better about His Majesty’s situation in this photo than the last time when he was forced to sit on his throne with his eyes open. But even if His Majesty is being treated courteously, it still doesn’t change the fact that he’s being held as a hostage.

Even though I say it is none of my business, I can’t help but accept this suggestion because I am too cowardly to take the option of having His Majesty slaughtered.

“I’m going to go……cool off my head for a bit.”

I walked out of the guild.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

In the woods behind the guild, I sit down with my back to a large tree and my legs in my arms.

The scene of the condemnation was repeated over and over again inside my head.

The scene is becoming more vivid and detailed, perhaps because I’m slowly proceeding towards that reality.

Cecil denounced me while spitting at me.

Lu was around Maribelle and he looked at me as if I was something dirty.

Gardner held Maribelle lovingly to his chest.

Elder brother is protecting Maribelle and Gardner.

Father pointed and lashed out at me, he told me to never again appear in front of him.

And finally, I, whose emotions had died at that moment.

My body trembled. I clutched the earring that is hanging on my earlobe.  It was a gift from elder brother.

Then, I was wrapped in warm feathers.

I looked up and saw crimson, jewel-like eyes right in front of me.

『Sera, your life in this world was created by your small efforts. It is definitely different from the previous time. Last time, you didn’t even know I existed, did you? 』

I gave a small nod.

『That’s why this time we’re such great friends. The vectors are definitely off. 』

Ash……

『Accept this fact, or else Lu…….just look at him. Isn’t he shrinking himself? 』

In his mofu-size, Lu nodded a short distance away from me. Lu!

“It’s wrong? Lu! It’s not that I don’t trust Lu! It just makes me sad to remember……”

Lu walked over to me.

『Sera, I know that much. I’m just disappointed in myself. I don’t know why I betrayed you last time. I can’t handle looking at Sera that is suffering in front of my eyes, but there’s nothing I can do about it. 』

“Lu!”

I jumped on Lu and hugged him.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry Lu.”

『Don’t apologize, Sera. It’s normal for your heart to waver. You don’t have to always try to be strong. I’ll be by your side. I’ll be there for you until I die. We’ll continue living while relying on each other. Because we are』

“『One in body and soul』”

『That’s right. 』

『I am also with you. Since Sera will live together with Ghilane. 』

『Lu-sama is cheating! I’m also one in body and soul with Sera-chan! 』

I got wrapped around Miyu’s long body that returned to its original size.

The Holy Beast Miyu licked and spoiled me, and my body was filled with Miyu’s magic that had a floral scent.

The 3 beautiful Holy Beasts held me tight, as I got relaxed and was relieved of my tension, Lu started to speak.

『Sera, I don’t think that this proposal of Schneider’s is a bad one. 』

“What?”

『If the time and the stage are the same, it will be clear whether there will be a condemnation or a betrayal in this life. Without this opportunity, we will have to live in fear for as long as Maribelle is alive. 』

“I see……”

Only after we get through this will I get true peace.

『Sera-chan, our new technique, let’s train it more and more until the New Year! 』

That’s right. I have to master my new technique with Miyu!

『Oh, you have a combined technique? I look forward to it! Should I make something like that with Ghilane? 』

『You don’t have that kind of character right……』

◇ ◇ ◇

There was a sound of discreet footsteps.

“Serafi?”

“Alma-chan!”

Lu, Ash, and Miyu smiled and secretly gave up their places to Alma-chan. Alma-chan sat down beside me.

Alma-chan’s hair had grown to reach her shoulders. Maybe it’s because of her skeletal structure, but she looked slender, even though she has just the right amount of muscle. Even though her boobs are huge. If she had pointy ears, I might mistake her for an elf that is depicted in fairytales.

“How is Elsa-sama?”

“Her condition is getting better, we’ve been protecting her! Don’t worry!”

“That’s a relief……What about you Serafi? Are you okay?”

“Huh?”

“Because you’ve been alone this whole time right? Marshe is on the other side of the sea……I would cry if I were in that situation.”

Alma-chan really looked like she was going to cry. When I saw Alma-chan like that……I thought that I don’t have to force myself.

“Yes, I cried. I was so lonely and sad. I wanted to see Alma-chan. I wanted to go back to school.”

“Serafi……”

Alma and I clung to each other and gently comforted each other.

“I also cried, you know? Even though I’m in the school, but Serafi was not there, I was so lonely, so lonely……”

“It was just the two of us……I’m so sorry to have left you alone, Alma-chan! Uuuuuu……”

“I won’t forgive you. Of course, I won’t forgive you!”

She missed me so much.

“Don’t forgive me……but don’t hate me okay!”

“There’s no way I can do that! Serafi, you idiot! Uuuuuuu……”

Alma-chan had turned 16 years old, but she still has a beautiful heart. We cried for a little bit and then……got energetic again.

“Our guild has decided that we, students, are not allowed to fight. So now we’re shorthanded. I believe that it’s good for Trundle. I have no intention of meddling in the guild’s decisions since I’m still too weak……but what do you think will happen? Are you going to wait until the New Year like what His Highness Schneider said? Or are you planning to ignore it?”

“I guess there’s no other way than to wait. Ahh!”

“…… I see. Well then, Serafi, train me! So that I can immediately fight after graduation so that I won’t become a hindrance! Oh yeah, Serafi, you actually can use magic! I was so surprised!”

“Oh…… Sorry for not telling you. I really wanted to go to the Knight School.”

“I see…….but it was because Serafi hid that fact, that I was able to meet Serafi, right? Thank God! When everything is done, teach me some magic! I want one that can blow Cecil away!”

Thank you……Alma-chan……for not blaming me for having a secret.

“I also have something that I want to teach to Alma-chan!”

“What is it?”

“How’s your relationship with Nick?”

“Haaa!”

Alma-chan turned bright red like a boiled octopus. You’re dating him, aren’t you!

“I, I have other things to report. Anyway, although we’re in a time of emergency, do you want to go to the bookstore? It won’t take long.”

“Hmm? That’s fine with me?”

It was the first time I met the 『Four Sisters of the Order』. I was so shocked that for the first time in my life, just like a daughter of an Earl, I put my hand to my forehead and fainted.
