Tensei Shoujo no Rirekisho

Consolation Society Edition (9) Purpose of Caterina

You mean Miss Caterina decided to do something so dangerous by herself?

I don't believe it. I thought Sir Gwennasis told me to do it...

First of all, in case you get the magic, and then Miss Caterina alone, what are you going to do?

Alan, who was next to me accidentally stuck in words, opens his mouth bitterly.

"Katerina, I know the Gwennasis realm has been tough. But you know how reckless this is. There is no guarantee that the Savior's magic will be broken."

When Alan said that with strength, Miss Caterina looked up.

"You have to try, you don't know!

Miss Caterina seemed anxious to bite.

"What is Master Caterina going to do, take away the Scriptures?... Even in war, are you going to?

When I said it, Miss Caterina bit her lips and returned her usual strong gaze to me.

Those eyes were burning in anger and I was perplexed for a moment.

And Miss Caterina opens her trembling lips.

"... if the country hadn't abandoned us, the territory of Ghennassis would not have been so damaged. Even Salome's family, the inhabitants, didn't have to die that way! Why, why does something like that come out? It's a magic ineffective demon!? Stabbing the sword won't fade, releasing magic won't scratch one! My only hope was for a God-killing sword to rescue me from the castle! After all, that never arrived from the country! It's not just Salome's father, many wizards are dead, warriors are dead! I will not forgive my country, that cowardly and foolish king!

Miss Caterina moistened her eyes and looked straight at me. Her overflowing anger was painfully transmitted.

Miss Caterina's, I know how you feel. I know...!

"Even I'm not forgiving everything for my country! But if it's the way to do it, there must be other ways! If you take away the Savior Scripture, it could suck, even be a war!

Miss Caterina flinches a little when I say so, lagging behind.

But my eyes are looking straight at me.

"Yes, I don't have any more. If we don't hurry, they'll move first. If I fail, the worst thing that can happen is what can be avoided.... if I can just sin and hold everyone back, that's it"

"If you can tow it, that's fine...?

I remember Miss Caterina's words and I repeated them that way, but Miss Caterina seemed unwilling to answer my questions, and she stared at us with a kick.

"If you mean to interrupt, even you, I won't allow it!

Miss Katerina cut it off.

But behind it, there was no sound, and a certain shadow was revealed.

The shadow looked into Miss Caterina's ear and said, "Heh. Wouldn't you forgive me? What would Katerina do if she didn't?" and pronounced a terrible voice.

Miss Caterina screams unexpectedly "hiccup".

I, too, was kind of about to make a hiss out of that quiet force.

Miss Caterina looks to the Lord of that voice in horror.

Soon, behind Miss Caterina, Miss Salome stood.

Even though that face is smiling, for some reason, your spine is relieved.

"Hey, Katerina, can you tell me? What do you mean, you won't forgive me if I interrupt? Are you going to give him another pill?

At last Miss Caterina trembled at Miss Salome, who smiled even more.

Even though I'm in the mood to escape with a voice that feels quiet anger boiling, the person of the moment would be considerable.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, uh, Salome, why, uh, here, because, sleep..."

And he's trembling in his voice.

"I can't believe Katerina's thinking about it. Mr. Lew was giving me the antidote for this. The other escorts are still asleep. But I can't believe Katerina's really, really putting pills on me..."

That's what I said, you're supposed to be smiling, but it's still powerful...

Before the powerful Miss Salome, Miss Katerina seemed kind of pitiful with a purple tremor like a newborn deer.

"Dear Katerina, I think you should confess before you touch Mr. Salome's scales any more. Master Caterina doesn't mean to take away the Scriptures, does she?

It was just pitiful, so when I asked, I saw Miss Caterina crying at me.

I feel pity for you, but I won't help you if you rub it.

Apparently she suddenly drew my unwilling to help, Miss Caterina looked down with dismay.

Miss Salome exhales and then puts her hand on Katerina's shoulder.

"Katerina, talk to me. You have no enemies here. If Katerina doesn't say anything, I don't know. If I don't know, I can't protect you."

Miss Salome said so and took Miss Caterina's hand. The gesture was very gentle and Miss Caterina looked at Miss Salome with shaky eyes.

I get it.

This is another push.

"Dear Katerina, I, I intend to know the general circumstances of Gwennasis. Whatever we are, we are on Caterina's side."

As I continued to do so, Charles also opened his mouth.

"Exactly. Please, count on us. As you may know, I consider Katerina a friend."

Headed by Miss Salome, Miss Katerina finally wept from her eyes at the woman's friendship triple attack between me and Charles.

"But I'm gonna get involved! Me! Be selfish..."

When Miss Caterina said so, Miss Salome decoupled her tips and Miss Caterina's forehead.

"Stupid Caterina. Don't you know? Katerina, you can get me involved."

Another large tear spilled out of Miss Caterina's eyes at the words of the gentle and attentive Miss Salome.

"Salome, so, but then, you might feel bad, you might regret it, you might!

Miss Caterina said so, but Miss Salome smiled with a calm face.

"I mean, if I ever get hurt the most, Katerina won't tell me anything, like she does now. Can't you trust me? Can't you count on me? Katerina, I'm not afraid of anything, even if I don't have to be trusted by the Knights' guys, whatever your mother or His Excellency Gwennasis tells me. The only thing that can make me sad is that Katerina doesn't trust me. I've been sad ever since I came back to King's Landing."

"Sa, salome......! No! No, Salome! I didn't trust you! I don't want to get involved! Besides, Salome belonged to the Knights of the Sword, right? So Salome, I'm sure, what I'm trying to do, disagree... But even if I, Salome, disagree, I still don't want to lose the inhabitants anymore, challenging reckless battles head-on, like the Knights of Sword Saints! Besides, like your father, I don't want to involve the inhabitants in betting everything on the Savior's scripture to seize the throne. 'Cause the people of Gwennasis have already had enough of a hard time with that disaster.... I don't want you to think that anymore!

I accidentally opened my eyes to Miss Caterina's willingness to cry out like that.

Then what is Miss Caterina's purpose......

"So you're saying that Master Caterina was originally unwilling to take away the Savior's Scriptures? Rather, the aim is to fail......?

When I asked her that, Miss Caterina, who was crying in such a way as to sneer at Miss Salome, turned around and nodded small.

"... Yes, against your father, against the Knights of Sword Saints, if I could have restraint, I would have done so. I thought it would be okay if I decided to do it on my own. If you do, even the country will notice the anomaly in Ghennassis territory and deal with it. Your father and the Sword Saint Knights, who are seriously going to take away the Scriptures, will be alert and unable to move..."

So you're saying that you pretended to take the Savior's Demon to stop the Gwennasis realm that could be a war as it is?

Indeed, if that happens, they may also be alerted by the country to stop Sir Gwennasis, who is genuinely trying to acquire the Savior's Scripture, and even the Knights of Kensei may not be able to move as freely as they have been before.

But if you do that...

At the same time I thought so, Miss Salome seemed to have guessed something, and grabbed Miss Caterina's shoulder.

"What happens to Katerina if you do that!? It's a great sin to take away the Savior Scriptures! Even if you end up failing, you can imagine being executed!

"I don't care what happens!

Miss Caterina said no. No, bread! and a loud noise, Miss Caterina turned her face to the right.

The left cheek is red.

Miss Salome had just hit Miss Caterina in the face.

"I can't believe I don't care, never again!!

Miss Salome, who is always calm, said so with a voice that looked down and seemed to cry.

Or in fact, I was crying.

Miss Caterina puts her hand on her battered cheek and sees Miss Salome with a surprised face.

And...

- DOGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Suddenly, really suddenly, a loud explosion sounded.

Smoke is rising near the top floor of the library tower when he sees the noise rushing to the explosion, which sounded so loud.

Around there, where the Saviour's Demon Scriptures are stored...?

"No way, Sir Gwennasis has come to take away the Scriptures!?

To Alan's voice, I shook my head.

"Oh, no, that's impossible. Even as I listened to Master Caterina, I was on guard! No one can see the shadows approaching the library...!

"Even I've been watching...! But, you know, the place where the smoke is rising is definitely the place where the Savior Demon is!

Yes, Ritz. Go and see the smoke going up to the library with your blue face.

No way, we were already inside before we arrived...?

"Da, no, Father!

And Miss Caterina, who shouted, ran straight away.
