The Strongest Fairy

Chapter 72 Day 1, The Second Time was Really Painful

It's certainly true that in case someone betrays their group, knowing their power would place them in a disadvantage......or rather, Goutani? Is that the person who wanted to take over La Veil Radd.

「Asahina-kun wasn't really interested in taking over La Veil Radd. That's why he dispatched me and Goutani to that place. Because of the special circumstances that links the Heroes and La Veil Radd, at that time they were friendly and easily accepted us. It was because what they wanted the most at that time was peace. I also wanted to protect that peace with everything I've got and support them...... But if we asked them back for a favor, it was hard for them to respond......」

They are conservative but stable, but I don't understand their view. Religion should have been for those who need salvation because there is an actual god in this world, and since they are supposedly messengers of God, they should have welcomed them with open arms.

「And so, what is with that Goutani?」

「Umm, you see......The first time he saw Cielo, that Goutani......it seems like he fell in love with her at first sight」

「......So it's not really about taking over?」

「I did stop him from doing that you know!? But... I didn't know that what he wanted was to marry her. He also said that he will do something so Cielo will be free so I said 「I'm going to help you with this matter」. That's the reason why I assisted in the rebellion and in her escape but...... I might have overdone it」

As a result, a rebellion occurred and the takeover was successful. After taking over the country, he approached Cielo again but Cielo refused him. Because of that, he became furious and placed a Curse on Cielo using the power of his Holy Sword.

「That's what he told me that time. He also said to follow her in her escape. And when we get in a pinch, or surrounded by demons he will help us, like a wicked set-up...... I felt disgusted by that. That's why I vowed that no matter how hard the situation will be, I will help her escape with all my might. I don't think the other side will be able to immediately come for us because I did a forced march leading a huge pack of demons before we ran away. But along the way the demons chasing us increased in number the further we got...」

「Oh I see......By the way, do you know about the prophecy?」

「I don't really know the details about it. But when we were in Hallia, Asahina-kun mentioned about it before. The way he told us about it was also strange. It felt like it would definitely happen」

......So, since the start of all these, the Heroes were already moving suspiciously. Well, I can't find any credibility about what she is saying at the moment. And because of that, my plans won't change much.

「I understand. That's all about Heroes and whatnot for now. Next, I would like to ask you to tell me more about yourself」

「Wa, you want to know about me?」

More like this topic is more important to me than those mind confusing ones.

「You did say that you followed Cielo under Goutani's order, but you hated that and you sympathized with Cielo's circumstances, right?」

「That's right... Even if I'm told to believe everything and not deny anything, I just can't stand it. Even if we came from the same class, what he did was just terrible...... and even if Cielo-chan did change her feelings, it won't be because she wanted to but because she was forced to be his woman!!?...... That's why I don't want to return to that place anymore. I would like to stay with her if possible......」

Cutting her words off, she looked down with a sad face.

「I......became a heretic. If anyone becomes close to me and accepts my ideals, then they will also receive the same title......that's why」
