Even Though I was the Real Saint, I was Exiled—Which Means my Country is Over (WN)

156: I won't forgive you except for the happy ending.

I was running around the castle to find Eliane and Cecilie...

"Franz..."

Maria and a few knights took me and I saw Franz walking over here.

Franz looks at me and distorts his face. His gaze revealed a clear hatred of me. [M]

Meanwhile, Maria glares at her, saying, "It's gone." Didn't you want Franz to see me? [M]

But this is a problem that I should face properly. [M] Don't run away.

No, I don't think she knows anything.

Maria glanced at Franz and shook her head.

Apparently, the puppeteer who made the stuffed toys for Elaine and Cecilie seems to be the mastermind this time.

"The puppeteer... he was the one Franz hired." Was his name Joel? where is he.... "

"I don't think Franz knows that either. The others are searching for me, but I── don't think I'm hiding in such an easy place, so it'll take some time..."

Maria's expression darkens.

"So... maybe you know something else, so I'm going to interrogate this girl now." That's all right, right? "

"Na, Nigel! Forgive me. I didn't know anything. [M] Hey, we're best friends, aren't we? What are you going to do, interrogate your best friend?"

Franz looks at me with a stunned eye. [M]

But.

"... All right, take me with you. I'm sorry for the loss."

That's what I said when I looked at Franz in the eye. [M]

”... oh my God!”

and Maria nodded.

"Wait, wait!?" Let me talk to Nigel.── "

Franz resists, but Maria lightly kicks him in the ass. The other knights took Franz from both sides and left in front of me.

Even if Franz wasn't responsible for everything, it's true that he indirectly put Eliane and Cecilie at risk.

If there's any chance I can get some information on them, I'll be a demon.

Besides, Maria would know how to add and subtract.

That being said,

I still can't find the [Entrance] to get to where Eliane and Cecily are......

Irritated by my own intimidation.

The truth is, I want to throw my fist at the wall right now and let my emotions out.

But... I couldn't do it.

How long have── I been like this? [M]

As a student?

No, I think it's been for a long time.

"... well, even if you think about this, you won't make progress." I was at Franz's after all.── "

and when I tried to move my legs.

Nai......── Jeh

A voice echoed in my head.

"What is this voice!?"

I concentrate and listen to that voice. [M]

It was definitely a── goddess.

{...... I don't have time...... I can't──, Eliane, Cecilie......}

With no goddess blessed, I've never heard her voice before. Still, the goddess tried her best to communicate with me.

Her voice was interrupted as if to prove it.

It wasn't strange whenever the voice disappeared.

That is why I ask the question at the end. [M]

"... where are Elaine and Cecilie?"

... Listen carefully. You two are... seized... by the Snake── God Realm

Were they captured? And do you want to tell me that both of you are in the God Realm where the [White Snake] is?

I immediately judged it from the voice of the goddess.

"Please! Take me to the two of you!" That's why I don't care what it takes! ”

...... Soon...... Eliane, Cecilie...... the stuffed animal──

The story of the goddess is told from there.

Her voice was terribly difficult to hear.

But when we gather that fragmentary information, one fact comes to mind.

To get to the two of you, we need Eliane and Cecilie's stuffed animal. It seems that it is the [Entrance] to go to the place where the [White Snake] is.

Entrance is already closed. However, with the power of the goddess, it was possible to pry open with a single force.

That said, one person is the limit. Even if I went to the Divine Realm, there was no guarantee── that I would be able to return.

Still.

"Never mind, I can't stand a world without Elaine and Cecilie." Goddess, please take me to the two of you. "

”I see... two stuffed animals...”

Your voice is going down even more. Looks like the limit is approaching.

Still, at the end, the goddess asked me:

──What are you going to do?

──and.

I know better than anyone what the question means and how serious it is.

So I couldn't answer the question.

"... not when you're thinking about it." Whatever it is, I need to get back to my room. "

Because the two stuffed animals are temporarily stored in my room. [M]

"I know what the goddess was going to say." But I...── "

That said, the moment I was about to run out,── I had a headache that broke.

"......!"

Again.

The intense headache you've been feeling for the last few days.

I have to go back to my room right away, but I can't stand the pain, so I hit my knee in the spot.

Moreover, I heard this voice next time.

You can fill the white with black. You already have the means. "

──I got it.

I thought you'd heard it somewhere before.

No, it wasn't the voice that I heard correctly. [M] It was like a scream. However, being a voice doesn't change anything.

"You..."

Have you finally noticed? Then── there's something I wanted to ask you. What are you going to throw away?

The voice of the Lord speaks to me like that. [M]

That's right, this also leads to what the goddess tried to say── earlier.

Don't defeat the [White Snake]. Then the divine punishment will be meted out.

The best thing to do was to replace the [White Snake] with a powerful one.

But I have no idea what that means.

The ──goddess wanted to ask me what I could do if I went to see the Elianes in such a state.

I couldn't answer right away.

But I can answer the mystery── now.

I'm sure it was necessary to tell the truth.

"I...──"

I conveyed my answer to the Lord's voice.

Then he cried with a terrible boredom.

It's boring. I don't care if you lie to me, I'll tell you the answer so I don't get my concubine bored.

”If it's a faint word, you'll see through it, right?”

Must be.

The voice of the Lord laughed happily.

"Well, it's true that it was a boring answer anyway." I'm telling── you, your idea fails. At this rate, you will lose both of your precious things. Be prepared.

At last, I couldn't hear my── voice.

The headache subsided, and I hurried to my room to get Eliane and Cecilie's stuffed animal ready.

Then a man walks in from the front.

"Douglas"

Call his name.

Douglas and I stopped and looked straight into each other's eyes.

"Nigel, what about you? I...──"

"It's okay, we found them." From now on, I'm going to help both of you. "

Having said that, Douglas smiled softly, although he was surprised for a moment.

"I see... that's good."

And a little lost.

“What should I do? Do you need my help?”

“Thank you, but I want to settle this alone.”

"... I see."

Douglas answers briefly.

Words of exchange may be short.

No matter how much we exchange words, it doesn't extend to the bond we've forged.

Have you found the answer you asked me the other day?

"Yeah, I found that, too." But maybe── this is the wrong answer. "

"Even if the answer is wrong, is it something you found yourself?" Then I won't say anything. "

and Douglas open their mouths and start walking slowly.

I'll move my legs again.

"──That's right, that's my eye." You have good eyes now. If I had, I would have trusted Elijah from the beginning. ”

"Thanks to Douglas." With you, I can fight with peace of mind. "

"Gahaha, of course. I'm the strongest species of── dragon." It's as easy as protecting a friend's back. ”

And there was a rubbing difference.

Douglas slaps me on the shoulder.

"Any man would be the ideal prince of a woman in love." I'll pick up the bones. Bring it on as much as you can. "

Yeah.

In reply, I ran out. [M]

I'm not lost anymore──.

No matter how this ends, I will only protect my loved ones. [M]

Until now, the dark clouds had cleared my head like a lie.

Finally──.

Douglas's voice was heard from behind.

"Am I just a sidekick this time?" I managed to give up the lead role. I won't forgive you except for the happy ending. "
