Reincarnated Young Lady Aims to Be an Adventurer - Volume 8 Chapter 122

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Gardner was betrayed by his beloved Maribelle and was robbed of everything by his brother, who was the one chosen by that same Maribelle……this is not a good idea. 

“Lu……can you talk to Tarl-sama to tell Schneider to stop this farce? I’m sick of it.”

『Tarl has gone mad. We should not be able to communicate with him……eh, it got connected. Seems like Schneider said, ‘I’m really sorry!’.』

“That’s really irritating.”

“Now, let’s join hands with Schneider and combine our forces to punish Trundle!”

What happened during the short time when I wasn’t paying attention to her?

Maribelle reached out to Gardner in the audience seats.

“……Elder brother killed my mother. Why should I take your hand?”

Gardner asks without any intonation in his voice.

Gardner is not mesmerized. The effect of the heel drop?

That’s wrong. If his mother is killed and his father is kidnapped in front of him, any human will become sane again. Even in Cecil’s pupil……there’s nothing but frustration. 

“T, that’s because the queen also killed Schneider’s mother, right? So, it’s equal now, right? In the first place, that queen was really annoying when I was aiming for Gardner!”

“Even if my mother has committed murder, that doesn’t mean that it’s okay to lynch her. I wish she was judged by a fair saintess. Are you the type of person that thinks it’s okay for a person to be killed because that person has committed murder? Even though just now you were saying that we should talk this out.” 

“But it can’t be helped that a bad person should die! It’s an exception!”

“In the first place, why are you trying to punish Trundle? Trundle remained perfectly neutral. The former Lord, Elsa, firmly governed the territory, always paid tax to the country, and had no intention to rebel. Not to mention that Elsa-sama is the hero who led us to victory in the previous great war. Of course, you should have learned in the military history class that our present peace is all due to Elsa’s strategy. You cursed and tried to kill the person who is respected by everyone. You are the cause of the conflict. You’re saying that we should not hurt each other, and yet you’re the one who tried to kill the previous Lord. You’re calling Trundle evil, even though you’re the one who instigated the war. I really don’t understand what you’re saying. It’s exactly what Cecil said.”

Gardner seemed to have had enough time to think. Even from a long time ago, in my previous life, Gardner was extremely docile, but he’s not an idiot.

Maribelle raised her voice.

“Of course, Trundle is evil, you know? They kept this me in prison for days! They’ve crushed the event of my encounter with the Holy Beast. Just by doing that, they have committed a sin! It’s only natural for everyone who hindered me to die!”

“Which means that it’s also natural for me to die, right?”

“Gardner, Gardner didn’t get try to hinder me. You said that you love me. You came here today to be my ally, right?”

“I came here only because I was scared that if I didn’t come, my kidnapped father might be killed.”

“Ahh, the king! He’s so pitiful, he’s sleeping in bed unconscious because of the queen. So heartrending.”

“……You’re the one who kidnapped the king and used him as a bait to make Trundle come here……do you have no intentions of helping the king……humans? You used to proudly show off your light magic, right? Do you have no intention of letting the king keep his dignity?”

The rare light magic, in the novel, it was used skillfully to heal injured companions. A cheat magic that greatly surpasses healing magic. It can even regenerate missing limbs. There should be no teacher who can teach light magic in the academy, but how good is she in using it? If she had mastered it, it would be troublesome to have her as an enemy.

“Huh, why should I? I’m also busy, you know? After all, the characters aren’t moving as they are supposed to.”

“I feel like I’m about to cry just by listening to the conversation.”

Sasara-san grumbled as she saw Gardner distorting his face.

“Besides, I don’t know what it is but……that woman has an unpleasant air around her……”

I’m sure that’s related to Sasara-san’s saintess skill, <Crushing Evil>.

That’s enough. I looked at Cecil. Cecil, who is always conscious of me anytime and anywhere, quickly bowed to me, he made Gardner sit on the very back as he stood in front of the prince as a shield. 

Well, I’m ready to make my first contact……I’m scared though.

I slowly walked in front of Maribelle. Good luck……me!

“Nice to meet you, young lady. Everyone here who isn’t a part of the Magic Academy, I don’t know who you are, so can you please introduce yourself?”

“Y, y, y, you’re not the original villainess Serafiona! Why are you here!? Is it a sequel of the game?”

Maribelle’s pink eyes opened wide and she pointed her finger at me.

“Oh, you know about me. Well then, will you tell me about yourself?”

“I, I’m Maribelle. A fourth-grader at this school! Um……huh? I never had to introduce myself by myself! Anyway, I’ll cooperate with His Highness Schneider to turn this country into a country overflowing with love!”

The audience seats became noisy. How can a mere student change the country? A question mark appeared on everyone’s face.

“Are you the representative of Schneider? What kind of business does the student of the academy have with me? At any rate, I heard what you were saying just now, you tried to attack the former Lord Elsa, the person that we respect and love, the mother of all the people of Trundle. I admire the courage you have to stand in front of us.”

“That’s right! That aunt is weird. I, the main character, almost got the Holy Beast, but at that time, she hindered me!”

It seemed that the only thing she heard was the praise. Haaa…

“I don’t understand what you’re saying. Well, that’s okay. I was threatened by you guys and came here to have a fair fight. You can be my opponent, right? Elsa’s injury, I will avenge it. I’m attacking now!!! “

Maribelle’s remarks are based on the novel, I’m probably the only one who can understand it 100%.

I quickly pulled out the shuriken from my cuffs, snapped my wrist, and threw three shurikens at Maribelle’s face.

Zan! Zan!

“Kyaaaa! I, I can’t believe this, you injured the protagonist.”

Zan!

It sliced Maribel’s cheek. It’s only a scratch.

……She didn’t put up any defensive magic? Even though she can use all magic?

“Y, you’re terrible! Cain! Harry! This woman is bullying me!”

“Ma, Maribelle! Uwahhh!”

I cast temporary paralysis on them and restrained the doggies’ feet.

“You’re ready right. Young lady?”

“Is, is it okay for you to do this? Will you not care about what will happen to the king! If you hurt me, Schneider might just kill him!”

……This completed the composition that Maribelle kidnapped the king and tried to make Trundle submit by using the king as a shield. Everyone in the audience seats, you all clearly heard it right, what kind of outrageous things this girl with a cute appearance is saying.

“So terrible…taking our king as a hostage……how inhuman……”

I shook my body. Princess! Even Kodak-sensei is supporting her.

“You want to kill the king that we love and respect? What a devil with such a cute face……, we Trundles are good and can’t allow the king’s body to be in danger. Anyway, you have some other conditions, right? Say it now!”

Sasara-neesan was able to say her lines in a monotone way after receiving the special Sparta training from the saintess, what’s wrong with that?

After all, as long as we want to regain the king, we can’t suddenly fight against Maribelle. We have to move the king to a safe place first before I can fight with all my strength. 

In other words, this was a play to make Maribelle talk as much as possible and let the audience know about her true nature of this girl, who has the outward appearance of an angel. This is the way of fighting that a few elite Granzeus used, this will bring the public opinion to our side. Right, papa!

Of course, what happened with Gardner wasn’t a play……though.

“Wh, what a beautiful male knight! Eh, um, yeah. You’re right. I think it’s better to finish this fight as peaceful as possible. So, you see, now that we are in a stadium! As I wrote in the letter, let’s bring out five people from both sides and compete fairly!”

Maribelle winked. The hall became silent. 

“Huh? I said good things though.”

“That’s a letter? Isn’t that a threatening letter?”

The quiet and powerful voice of Sasara-neesan echoed from the audience seats.

“……I can’t see the benefit for us to do this though?”

Kodak-sensei answered in a low voice as he supported me.

“Eh? Benefit? Then, if you win, I’ll return the king to you.”

“You’ll return the king? Just a mere student with no experience or achievements is treating the king of a country as a property. It’s a weird story. So, what if you win?”

“Of course, I’ll have Trundle apologize. Then, I’ll forgive you! Fufufu, I’m so compassionate, right?”

“……Even if you forgive us, will Schneider forgive us?”

“Of course! After all, Schneider will listen to all my wishes!”

“Do you really think you can create a ceasefire with such an uncertain promise?”

“Uncle, I’m getting annoyed now! Schneider! You’ll listen to what I say right!”

Maribelle turned around to look at the entrance of the west side of the field.

Schneider was leaning against the entrance door……apparently he was there from the beginning. I don’t know if Tarl-sama cast his genjutsu on us or not……but I completely didn’t realize that Schneider was there.”

He slowly walked towards Maribelle and held Maribelle’s shoulders.

“It’s the request of the cute you. There’s no way I’ll refuse it.”  

“Schneider! You know this story the best!”

Maribelle wrapped her hands around Schneider’s waist.

Schneider shrugged at me while letting her do whatever she wanted. As expected, I feel offended.

I lifted my body that I had entrusted to my teacher.

“Schneider, is it true that you will return the king if we win the team battle proposed by the young lady over there?”

Schneider’s complexion changed a little.

“Serafiona, I’ve never lied. Lies and betrayals are what that woman was good at and it is also what I hate the most.”

“I can’t agree with you, as I had been deceived many times since I was in Marsh.”

“That wasn’t my intention and you’ve already expected that degree of surprise attack, right?”

Schneider certainly never spouted any lies with his mouth. After all, the result of his appraisal is always blue. His crazy behavior is always straightforward and always serious.

“……Schneider, the leader of the battle will be you and I? OK”

“Fufufu, you’re so full of confidence. Is it a good sign that shows that you’ve grown up? I’m looking forward to the date with Serafiona.”

“Haa, the development is finally progressing as what I had expected! Then the first round of the battle will start with a team of 2 students!”

Maribelle put her hands on her mouth and acted like a loudspeaker, she screamed cutely like an idol, then she bent her knees and started to jump around.
