“So… you’re not sure if it’s him?”
The two had already stood up from the ground and sat down facing each other.
However, the Lady was sitting on the table with her slender legs crossed, while Holly sat on a chair like a well-behaved child.
“Mm, because transmigration… maybe there isn’t a third person in this world…”
“Indeed…”
The Lady slowly nodded while stroking her chin.
“Then… do you want me to help? If you want to kill him here… I just need to lift a finger~”
Hmm… this was what Holly was torn about. Although based on the probability of transmigrators appearing, Holly felt it was 90% him. But… she indeed hadn’t completely confirmed…
Moreover, she felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart.
To put it bluntly… she wanted to take revenge personally and didn’t want to kill him immediately, as that would be too easy on him.
She… wanted to make that demon kneel on the ground and repent for his actions!
“Want… to do it yourself?”
Before she could say it, Ileya tilted her head with a faint smile on her lips and asked.
“Ah… yeah, nothing can be hidden from the Lady…”
Holly scratched the back of her head with a bitter smile.
“I want to wait until I’m stronger, then completely suppress him… make him yield, make him… apologize for what he did.”
“But I’m afraid that after this opportunity passes… it’ll be hard to get such a good chance…”
“In the end, you just don’t have confidence in yourself, do you?”
Ileya directly interrupted Holly’s low narration and pointed directly to the core of the problem.
“Mm…”
Holly opened her mouth as if to say something. But she found that she really couldn’t refute the Lady.
Although the desire for revenge was still there, she indeed… was still too cowardly.
“Well~”
Seeing the suddenly downcast girl, Ileya smiled helplessly and waved her hand.
“No one is perfect… fear is also an innate human emotion, no matter how strong, no matter how noble, it’s the same for everyone.”
‘Is that… so?’
“Then… does he also have things he fears?”
Thinking of this, Holly’s mind suddenly flashed with the scene of that demon begging for mercy and retreating.
In an instant, she felt excitement… and even the fear in her heart lessened quite a bit because of that fantasy. Holly asked subconsciously.
“Of course~ as long as he can still be called a living being… he has something he fears.”
“Then… do you also have things you fear, Lady?”
“Me? Hah…”
Ileya smiled helplessly and turned her head to look toward the Crystal Capital.
“Maybe… Hey, are you trying to pry into my weaknesses?”
The Lady, who had been gently swinging her feet on the table, stretched one leg forward and directly stepped on Holly’s curious face.
“Mmmm!! No… not at all!”
‘Mm… it smells nice… like the scent of roses…’
“So~ what are you going to do?”
Ileya gave a light snort and pulled her foot back.
“I… still want to take revenge myself.”
“If not this time, then next time. If not next time… then I’ll keep getting stronger.”
The girl slowly clenched her fist.
“One day, I will use my own power to make that demon completely helpless… and make him regret what he did!”
Seeing Holly’s resolute expression, Ileya curled the corners of her lips.
“Mm… rest assured, since you’ve become my maid, you’re my person~”
The Lady said as she turned and jumped off the table. She walked over to Holly and patted her on the shoulder.
“If you want to do something, let me know anytime… I’ll support you fully in this.”
“Waaah! Lady…”
Holly’s eyes instantly welled up with tears of emotion.
‘But… being the Lady’s person… what kind of person does that make me?’
‘Like Senior Veil… do I need to… sleep with her?’
‘Mmmm (//>A<\\)!’
The Holy Sword Bearer’s face flushed slightly. She opened her mouth but ultimately couldn’t bring herself to ask.
“Alright~ Instead of wasting time, why not go back and train with your master? I’ll have someone keep an eye on that guy’s movements.”
“Okay!”
Holly stood up with a smile.
Compared to when she first arrived, she felt her mood had lightened more than a little~
And after hearing the Lady’s guidance about fear, Holly felt even more motivation to move forward!
Not only that…
In her heart, besides revenge, a new goal had quietly emerged!
That was to protect the Lady! Absolutely never let her suffer even a little harm!
At this moment… Ileya’s position in her heart had risen to the same level as her family in this world…
Click~
With the closing of the study door, the faint smile on Ileya’s face vanished as she stood with her arms crossed.
The girl’s red eyes stared at the door for a long time…
Then, as if talking to herself, she murmured.
“I hope… I never have to activate this seed.”
Today… might be Mierpasi’s Day of Disaster.
While on patrol, she encountered a group of thugs bullying a girl in an alley. Given her personality, she charged in without a second thought.
But as soon as she entered the alley, someone hit her hard on the back of the head with a stick.
Just before she passed out, the catgirl seemed to see the girl, who had been wearing a terrified expression just moments ago, sneer at her disdainfully…
But just as her body was about to hit the ground, it was caught by a strong hand.
After that, Mierpasi didn’t know what happened.
Because when she woke up, she was already in her own home… and it was already afternoon.
“Meow…?”
The first thing she felt upon waking was a dull ache at the back of her head.
“Huh? You’re awake? How are you feeling…”
A worried voice came from beside her.
As she turned her head, she saw Franlot’s face, handsome yet tinged with hesitation and melancholy.
“I…”
Thinking back to what had happened and then looking at the bloodstains on the boy’s clothes…
“Thank you…”
If it weren’t for Franlot today, she really didn’t know what she would have encountered after fainting.
“Don’t mention it~ Didn’t you also lend a hand when I was in danger?”
The boy said with a smile.
In truth, he was quite happy inside.
The reason he could arrive so quickly was that before the catgirl got into danger, the System had already issued him a quest.
He had really farmed a lot of skill XP and levels on this City Guard girl.
His Basic Swordsmanship had now reached B-rank, and his Sword Aura had even reached A-rank.
His own level had also reached Lv5, and all his main attributes except Spirit had at least doubled compared to before.
At this rate of growth, the goal he had set for himself was not a dream!
However…
“Those guys from this morning were clearly setting a trap to get back at you… Could it be those people from last night?”
Franlot asked with a frown.
The catgirl was also momentarily stunned, then pursed her lips.
She could only say… it was very possible.
Their revenge might come faster than she imagined…
