I Favor the Villainess

"The conversation with Desitaga... What the hell is going on, Dace?

Frieda showed just a little confusion in her usual cheerful face while placing a tray with five teacups on the table.

This is Frieda's boarding house.

There is nothing extraordinary about her room, which she visited for the first time, but that of the so-called average imperial people.

There are no religious motifs, altars, tools to use for rituals, etc.

Spiritualism is a common religion in this world, so it is even unnatural that there is nothing similar to it.

"I'm sorry I suddenly pushed you. I'd like to ask you to fold in."

"Non non, beauty visits are always welcome yo! Claire, Ray, Philine, glad you're here, sir! And, Lily! Even you!"

"Oh, thank you"

Yes, it is.

In addition to Claire, Philine, and myself, Lily have come to visit Frieda's house.

They're going to ask me what happened to religious smugness, but it's inevitable.

Follow up on why.

"Well, tea day first. Tea Day in the eagle's hometown. I hope it suits your mouth, Desga..."

Frieda hands out cups.

The tea I came to have was in a strange shade, with a sweet aroma.

Similar to black tea, but nothing comes to mind about the aroma.

Is it Freberty?

"Oh, that's delicious."

"That's true. It's a strange flavor."

"Oh, it's delicious."

They seem to like Claire and the others.

I took a sip after I detoxified it.

Oh, it's really delicious.

"I'm relieved you like it, Shimacita. How about some tea and sweets, Dace?

"No, that's fine. Thank you very much."

"Too bad, Dace"

I can see the look on Frieda's face that she wanted to be more welcoming.

I don't know how much that is serious.

"It's time to get down to business. Dear Philine?"

"Yes."

Until then, Claire, who had been leading the conversation, pointed the water at Filine.

Filine took a deep breath and opened her teasing mouth once she stepped forward with a slightly nervous face.

"Frieda, I need you to do me a favor"

"Say anything, Kudasai! For the most part, if you're asking for a beautiful girl, welcome yo!

Frieda is the same tension as usual.

Nico and I have a flamboyant grin, which doesn't make me think that she has a hidden side, etc.

But...

"The connection you have with the American people..."

Gin and I could play a metal noise.

A beat late and Filine looks gnawed.

A blade approaching a few centimeters across her neck had been taken with another blade.

……

……

Cut to Filine is Frieda, who remains affixed with Nico's expression, and it is Master Lily who is taking it.

I thought it wouldn't be a serene discussion, but all of a sudden, he does it for me to cut it off.

"Phew, Mr. Frieda, listen to me first"

"... no sir!

When Frieda moved to twist the dagger, she sliced Lily's dagger into a filine again.

"Phew, Mr. Frieda!

For a moment, he was like Lily, disfigured, but when he instantly stepped back on his feet, he rebuilt himself and protected Filine with the other dagger.

Keep it up and jump the fridas with your strength, and once you open up the intermission.

That said, this place is indoors.

It's not even that big a room and I don't know when Frieda will hit me again.

Master Claire and I are already in a state of war.

"... Naze, you know what, Dace?

There is the same grin on Frieda's face as she asks with a dagger in place without alarm.

Behavior is leopardy, but only the expression hasn't changed, so it's a little... No, it's a lot scary.

"Someone betrayed you, Ka? Unbelievable. Tell me who that is, Mars!

Frieda flashes the blade and steps in.

There was no lie or falsehood in her words that she said she was good at the White Soldier War, and if I were the one confronting her, she would have been stumped in no time.

Isn't it critical, Master Claire?

Master Lily, who is able to interact without hurting such an opponent, is still a great skill.

I was still right to have her come.

"Frieda, listen to me! I want to help you!

Frieda stopped at Filine's diligent appeal.

Seeing how it goes, Filine's face brightens for a moment, but it also quickly clouds again.

"To the power... be Thailand...?

The grin disappeared from Frieda's face.

No, the look is still laughing.

I'm barely laughing, but I can't really call it a smile in the atmosphere it creates.

"You, the princess of this country who destroyed the eagles' fatherland, are now even more powerful Thai...? What kind of joke is that, Desca?

What floats there is hatred.

The deep feelings of hatred accumulated on the quote were flooding out of the pasted smile.

"Phew, Frieda..."

"I've been told a secret. Keep it alive, Sen. Everybody dies here, Mass."

Frieda put up the dagger again.

"Frieda. Driven by hatred, do you wave the opportunity to rebuild your country on a stick?

Frieda looks surprised at my words.

"Reconstruction of the motherland...?

"That's right. Dear Philine, the aim is to change the foreign policy of the Empire. And instead of asking for help, I'm offering to rebuild your country."

……

Frieda still did not solve the combat posture, but only a little color of reason returned to that face.

"Are you fooled by such nonsense, Senyo?

"It's not bullshit or lies. You're serious, aren't you, Philine?

"If you're serious, that's what makes you doubt your sanity, sir. Philine's that Dorothea's daughter, Deshaw?

"Listen to me, Frieda...... no, Friedelinde-ur-Merica!

"!? How...!

Upset ran on Frieda's face at Filine's call.

Perhaps she didn't think that even though she was discerned to be a national of America, she could discern who she was.

Anyway, because her identity is a top secret that only a very limited number of her comrades know.

"Sunna...... Who betrayed you, Death..."

"No one has betrayed you. You know the rumors about the Maiden of the Revolution, right? Claire and Ray have the power of prophecy."

"... silly na..."

"Then should you have a traitor in your comrade?

……

Frieda's eyes swayed on the patrol.

Filine folds.

"I'm going to flip an anti-flag on your mother."

……

"I ask you to give way to your mother and change the way this country is. From a land of weak and strong eating to a country where no one cries anymore"

"Demonstrate that you can do that...?

Frieda said to mock.

It seemed to include just a little self-derision there.

Or maybe that's sarcasm for ourselves that we've never been able to achieve a great deal.

"I can't do it alone. But, Frieda. You can do it with your help."

……

"Please. Please help me."

Filine appealed earnestly.

But Frieda still didn't seem to be able to make up her mind.

"I can't believe we're just talking about you, Nye."

"That's what I thought, and I brought you a story from a different point of view. Lily?"

"Yes!

Claire urged me, and Lily took something like a letter out of her nostalgia and put it on the floor.

……

"Here's a secret book from the Spirit Church."

"Please go inside."

Frieda showed just a little lost, but that's just a few seconds too.

As I approached the letter with the granny, I picked it up and glanced at it.

"This is... a guarantee of authenticity by the Cardinal...!

This secret book is a guarantee by the Church that the story of Filine is not false.

I know I've touched it before, but in this world, swearing to God means so much.

This is even the case with promises between ordinary citizens, so if that is by the Cardinals of the Spirit Church, you can imagine how effective it would be.

Of course, the Cardinal who gave the ink means Master Yu.

After deciding to tackle the anti-government cage, he asked Master Yu again.

She was surprised, Misha and others even disagreed, but eventually convinced me.

They have a place in the church, but they are more Bauer people than that.

"Hey, Frieda. Just talk, will you listen to me?

Filine stared straight into Frieda's eyes.

Frieda often looked back to indulge in that gaze, but eventually one big sigh,

"Okay. listen to me for a second, Shaw. It needs to be a will, Desne?

That's what I said, first I put down my dagger.
