Seijo no Hazu ga, Douyara Nottoraremashita - 197 Virgin of the Wilderness 3

–I was trying to cross the border desperately for you, and I heard it from someone I can trust directly. I didn’t think so, but apparently it’s true… They must have escaped because they couldn’t cure a disease like the one that occurred along the border. How irresponsible it is to throw out your role as a Virgin! And even Lector-sama was hurt… I’m really shocked…!

Oops. I ran away…

Galeon? Speaking of which, I’m afraid I don’t see him at all, but in this story, he might be caught somewhere. You must have been an anti-elder, so that’s possible…

But…

Maybe Lectol won’t be fooled.

Suing him with such an emotional voice won’t fool him.

Because he “looks” at the upset and the back.

Rush, remorse, and… malice?

So even if you lie, maybe they’ll find out for sure.

That’s why we have to remain silent to confront him.

It is far better to remain silent than to tell a lie. Far away.

I learned.

There is no way to hide from him but to silence him without his heart….

–So why is she being held alone now? She hasn’t moved from some small room in the last few days. Where is Galeon? And who ordered her confinement?

—… what are you talking about? I just heard that the “Virgin of Farglow” had already left the country with Galeon. I’m sure they’ll ask Loire for help. If you’re in the Loire, just say “Virgin” and cherish it with great joy.

– Then hurry home so that the Prince of Loire is not taken by her. I will send you to the border.

–Well… why are you so cold? I don’t know how you’ll believe me anymore. Why is this happening when I’ve been trying so hard ever since I came to this world to see you, just to save you?

The jade was crying.

–I know what you’re worried about. But if you’re really trying to save me, can you tell me how you’re going to save me right now? Please let me know. How do I die? And how can we escape that fate?

—… haah? What are you going to do knowing about it…? You think you can handle this on your own? Even though things are still unknown in this world, you don’t know anything, and you can do the perfect thing without the help of a Virgin named me? And then if I tell you what to do, you’ll dump me, right? I did it for that woman… I didn’t think you were that cold and stupid…!

–Absolutely nothing to throw away. Thank you very much, of course.

– But you’re not going to cut her off, are you? Ah, I didn’t think that Lecter would be fooled by such a woman, and that she would love me only honestly… I can’t even admit my mistakes, I can’t believe I was such a fool!… no, no… yes, you’re not my Lecter anymore. The character must have broken, because of him. Oh, what a pity… I’ve worked so hard. I can’t believe it all went to waste!

Yeah… jade, what’s wrong…?

Is he like that from the beginning…?

From the beginning, you were the one who pasted a beautiful smile like a mask, but you weren’t really sure what you were thinking…?

At first, I thought I was a light and chaotic man because I couldn’t see the truth even though I liked it at first.

Has she ever dreamed of the Lecter character, General Lecter, who has been in the game all along? And you mean you can’t believe his reaction, which would not have been a game?

If you were General Lector, who was as perfect as a dream in that game and who really talked about love with enthusiasm, I would have liked to have a look at it, too. It must have been lovely.

But if I had met him in that game, would I have been puzzled by the gap between him and this reality right now?

Now, the Lecter I know is a man who doesn’t hesitate to buy the finest goods immediately, wants the “majestic Virgin” to protect him, or for some reason gives up, or even if he doesn’t, his words and deeds quickly become chaotic from everyday life and often wink.

Even if you just think of it now, there’s the opposite of “cool”. That’s normal driving, isn’t it? Instead, if you think about it again, you’re quite a bad guy…?

If I twisted my neck realistically without thinking about it.

Batahn!

I heard the door shut violently.

Could the beard have left?

Nya-on

I left angrily.

Hmm, I knew it.

– Anis, can you hear me?

Yes, you know what I heard. Because he understands Lolo’s words.

“I can hear you. For some reason, as you know, he’s a little imprisoned. Where the hell is this place?

And it was Lolo who told me to be disciplined about the dialogues as they were.

–I ‘m in a hurry to find out where you are. I also hit my hand so that I could send a carriage as soon as I understood it. But it’s too wide, and I’m a little short on hands now, and unfortunately I haven’t run out yet. I’m sorry, please wait a little longer. As much pressure and intimidation as possible is exerted on the “people of Grange”, there should be no risk to their lives. Are you okay?

“Yeah, I’m fine. There is no impairment. Thank you. But I don’t know where it is, and it looks like a lot of people are taking hostages and I can’t move. Are you okay? Nothing unusual?

–Absolutely no problem. Don’t worry about that. I’ll follow that fake virgin now, because she might come to you. Let me know through Lolo if you can get out of here.

“Okay. But if we could have this conversation, I’m glad we left Lolo behind.”

– That’s right. As a matter of fact, many of Garwin’s birds are out of order, and there’s a very limited number available right now. Because of that, it is difficult to determine your whereabouts. That’s why I’m honestly grateful for Lolo’s presence.

“Is the bird upset?

Oh, well. I can talk to the birds, so Garwin’s management would have been perfect, but that’s what happened.

–Apparently it looks like an infectious disease, but Garwin doesn’t really understand it as if he hasn’t heard of it either. But I can’t fly anymore. That’s why I’m getting Loro to help me with a little rush work right now.

“Nyahhhh!

I didn’t mean it!

But you’re helping him. Thank you, Lolo.

“Nyahh….”

“It’s okay… it’s the Lord’s turn…”

—-Thanks to this, the finest snails are decreasing faster…

Ah, yes… you were caught with something solid. Rollo was in good shape.

“Well, I’ll wait here for the carriage for now. So you stay well until I get back, right? It’s winter, so don’t wander around half-naked as usual. Why don’t you warm up and go to bed early? Even if I catch a cold now, I can’t cure it, right? Even if Lolo can help prevent an injury or accident, you can’t catch a cold or get sick, so just defend yourself there. And before it snows, pray that I can make it home.”

Oh, yeah…

“Nyahn?

I’m kind of laughing lewdly, right?

“Hey, I’m serious, right? Really, please?

– It’s okay. Oh, I wonder if you’ll come home soon… I want to see you.

“Ah… yeah, that’s right…. I miss you too.”

When I answered that, I was reminded that I was stingy.

Ever since I left him, I’ve always wanted to see him.

Even now, his voice alone brings his face to mind as soon as he can imagine what he looks like.

I sincerely wanted to see that slightly lonely smile, that slightly illuminating face, directly near him.

I’ve been thinking about him all my life since I left him.

I can’t…

Not at all… not at all! It’s not even worth it.

And yet, I really stayed like this, beside that sparkly, flashy, beautiful face, and said, “Huh? That plain wife…? Yeah, and you’re a saint? Does it live with a tight line of sight?

In other words, will I live my life feeling a loss to him as an “unfit wife”?

Even if someone more worthy appeared to him one day, I would still like him.

I wonder what will happen to me if such a day comes. Honestly, I hate situations like this to death.

But now, considering my life, it’s safest… no matter how uncomfortable I am. Oh, I hate my plain self.

Hmm, how do I balance him?

One day, worried about that, he waited very long for Lecter to rescue him.

All of a sudden, the door opened and an uninvited person appeared who was completely unexpected.

“Eh…? Why are you here…?

All I do is stand up confused.

But the jade said with a clear smile.

“Long time no see, disturbed and slightly obstructed Virgin.”
