Episode 148 [Invasion/1]
After having dinner with my sisters, I occasionally visit them and spend time talking and eating.
I also invited Chloe and the others to the dinner table, and we introduced each other's friends.
"Helena met you after all."
"Did the princess know that my sister is cooperating with the country?"
"Yes, because I knew that my subordinate was the one who first contacted Helena. Jin asked me to keep quiet, so I didn't say anything."
A few days after the dinner party with my sisters, I came to the princess's place by myself and talked about my sisters.
After all, the princess knew, or well, I thought this person probably knew.
“Anyway, in addition to Helena, you also have a sister-brother relationship with Lulu.”
"Yes, if it's your sister, she's my oldest sister. She's not related to my sister by blood either, so she's still my older sister even if we're not related by blood."
"Hehe, you've developed such a relationship in just a few days. I'm jealous. I want to get along with my brother, but we've been apart for so long that it's hard to get involved. Besides, right now... , I also have a role as a saint, so I don't get to see her often.''
The princess awakened to the power of a saint a while ago and continues to train separately from the hero.
For that training, I was making use of the magic tools I had retrieved from the dungeon, and the most useful one was definitely the mithril bracelet.
Well, since I knew that the princess would become a saint, I was able to invest generously.
The power of the hero is important, but the power of the princess is more important to me.
“How is your training going?”
"Things are going well. The things I received from Jin are really useful. Did you know that I was going to become a saint?"
"There's no way I can know who will become a saint. I was just handing things over to the princess."
The role of a saint is the same as in a game, where the role is given to the person chosen by the god of this world.
That's why the church is not the type that is often found in light novels where people say things like "This child is a saint!", but because the real God chooses it, there are no fakes.
Even if a fake is found, the real saint can be identified by whether or not there is a ``crest'' on the back of her hand.
This is the same for heroes, who are also given the hero crest.
"Well, sometimes training is tough, but thanks to training, I've been able to go outside of the royal capital, which is something I've always wanted to do, so I'm happy. I'm having a lot of fun now."
“As expected, it is impossible for the king to stop the role of the saint.”
"At first, we had a lot of soldiers, but...that's not good for training, so now we're operating with a small number of soldiers."
The princess said that with a sigh, and I laughed.
At that time, I said ``Oh no'' to the magical power approaching the room, told the princess, ``I'm going home,'' and teleported out the window and went downstairs.
"It was dangerous. I was so absorbed in the story that I didn't notice the hero approaching..."
After that, I was almost in contact with the hero.
Relieved that I had managed to escape, I headed towards the castle gate, since I had entered through it and would be suspicious if I didn't leave.
"Isn't that Jin? Did you come to the castle?"
"Mr. Andre, it's been a while. Yes, I had something to talk to the princess about."
I happened to run into Andre, who was seeing off the soldiers near the castle gate, and was grabbed by him.
Wait, I really don't want to talk here today!
"Recently, the Demon King's army has been active and it's been really difficult."
“Ah, Andre-san, I’ll hear about that some other time, so could you please let me go home today?”
"Hmm, do you have any plans?"
"Yeah, I have really important plans."
I felt the presence of the hero, who was supposed to be near the princess's room, approaching me, so I said that to Andre and managed to get out of the castle.
After that, I used teleportation many times, which I don't usually use in the city, to get home the shortest distance to the inn.
"What's wrong? Just when I thought you came back, you suddenly collapsed and were surprised."
"I used too much magic..."
I just happened to find Len talking with Ricardo on the first floor.The moment I entered the inn, I collapsed and was supported by Len who brought me to my room.
"I'm sure you went to the castle today, right? Did something happen there?"
"I was about to run into the hero. I escaped at the last minute, but in order to escape, I used a lot of teleportation..."
"Did you still use the teleportation you practiced to escape from the hero... Where does Jin's hatred for heroes come from?"
"I don't particularly dislike you, but I don't want to see you..."
I said that and took the magic recovery potion Ren had made for me, and somehow feeling a little better, I lay down on the bed.
