To Save My Favourite Character, I Decided To Destroy the Game’s Plot - CH 48
Chapter 48 .A Ridiculous Story?
Cresencia will die.
The truth of Almire’s intentions with her goofy smile is hard to gauge, but this sorcerer-commander is not the type to contain play when the situation calls for it.
Then there really is something there.
‘If that’s true, I’ll help you as much as I can.”
‘I’m glad you’re so quick on the uptake.but it’s not something that needs to be taken care of right now.’
“A martial arts tournament in a month?”
A martial arts tournament in a month?
‘Maybe. I think the enemy will move around that time. There is no other possibility to take action against the royal family.”
That’s not true.
The Crescencia, which is surrounded by weak people with only status, is the result of a foolish power struggle and will fall into the hands of the Ulgor evil cult in the not too distant future.
Well, it will happen after the story starts, so at least nine years in the future.
In addition, the enemy has already suffered the loss of Cassandra, so there is the question of whether they will be able to take such a bold step.
Oops, I got lost in thought.
Now I’m thinking about the incident that will happen a month from now.
‘Do you already have an idea of the threat and the scale of the enemy’s attack?”
‘No, not yet. There are so many enemies that I don’t know which ones are going to do what.”
“There are so many enemies?’
“Yes. Between you and me, Cress-tan is being targeted by all kinds of people. The newest ones are the recent masked guys, right? The others are…”
The names that Almire gave as examples were all ones that he had heard of in Alcue.
The exceptional talent for magic, factional strife, and royal status are all reasons why Crescencia is a potential target.
‘That’s why i need as many allies as possible.’
‘I understand the situation. So what do I have to do?”
“It’s simple. The royal family has to appear in front of the people at the awards ceremony of the martial arts tournament, right? You just have to be with the royalty.’
“What do you mean?’
“Well, you have to do well enough to win a prize in the martial arts tournament “.
I see. So you want one of the players to became your ally.
I understand that, but…
“——”
By Japanese standards and by this world’s standards, I’ve been training every day in a way that no child or even adult would ever do.
To be clear, winning the championship is next to impossible with Lucy, but winning an Honorable way would be highly probable.
But there is a problem.
If I meet a strong player like Lucy in the middle of the tournament, my chances of winning are slim to none.
“What was the age range for the youngest age group?’
“From five to ten years old.’
“magic is allowed, right?’
“Yes. Any , magic is allowed up to the first level. If you are willing to accept it as a bonus, your opponent can be nice to you to the extent that it is not unnatural.’
Wow, a declaration of injustice. Well, royalty’s life is more important than justice, right?
Yes, I know. If I can avoid fighting unreasonable opponents, it’s not a bad thing for me either.
It’s also a plus if I get a good score and my name gets known.
‘I’m almost certain that I’ll be able to get in to the finals. Please let me “cooperate.
“Really? Oh, that would be seriously helpful!”
Almire’s foxy face twisted into a smile. I was convinced that the deal was done, and I relaxed slightly.
As if to catch me off guard, Almire’s voice tapped my eardrums.
“Hey Norwin. Why did you decide to cooperate with me ? You know that the worst that can happen is that you’ll get caught up in it and die, don’t you?”
Almire’s eyes narrowed even more. Her sharply sharpened gaze pierced me.
Oh, I see. Almire is suspicious of that , right ? Well, a super talented six year old who suddenly appeared out of the blue is too suspicious, isn’t it?
Almire would at least know that I can alter my appearance with magic.
It’s not surprising that she might suspect me of being a foreign spy who had his appearance altered to look like a child.
This would be a bad lie that would be exposed.
That’s why it’s the good question .
I said with my heart in my chest and no falsehoods.
“It’s because I love lady Crecencia.”
‘no, I don’t want to hear such a lame excuse.’
“It’s not a lie or an excuse.”
Do you understand the difference in status between you and — her —-?]
Don’t give a damn, Almire. I’ ve seen her die over a thousand times!
As long as she’s saved, I’m happy. I don’t need anything else.
I just want her to keep smiling and be happy.
And I’m the type of person who doesn’t care who’s standing next to her as long as she’s happy.
That’s why I would do anything for Crecencia.
This feeling became even deeper when I saw the real one. It’s no exaggeration to say that I am now entirely built out of love for Cresencia!
For a few seconds, I silently exchanged glances with Almire.
It was she who looked away first.
“No, I’m serious. This is really crazy.”
A sigh of exasperation and understanding. For some reason, Almire’s gaze on me had changed to one that looked at someone unfortunate.
‘I’m serious.’
“I’m sorry for doubting you,——, but there’s no need to be sorry. . Why do you like her so much? Are you an idiot?”
‘Because she’ s cute, you know.”
“Oh, this is a bad one.”
‘What’s wrong with that ? In the first place, Almire, have you had a good look at Her Royal Highness Princess Crescencia? She is amazing! Her hair is as beautiful as golden threads and shiny without a single scratch! I just saw it fluttering in time with her movements! And the smell is amazing! I smelled it just now and it smells like citrus? I The color of his hair, he is like the sun, isn’t he? And her charming face…”
“This is much more disrespectful than the way you called her just now.’
“Wait, are you listening to me?”
“I’m not listening to you! I have something more important to tell you!”
‘I’ don’t have anything important to talk about!”
‘Oh, my God, you’re such a pain in the ass! I want to show the nobles who are calling you a child prodigy and a devil what you’ve become!”
I don’t know about that.
The charm of Crescencia is yet to be told. I opened my mouth again to tell her. But when she forcefully interrupted me, I responded with a muffled grumble.
‘I told you, I have something more important to tell you.”
(I don’t have anything important to say!)
” Oh, God! Shut up and listen to me!”
She must have put a magical effect in that shout. Almost at the same time as
she shout, I couldn’t raise my voice.
,”I’ve finally managed to shit you /.
Almire came in here and said something that shocked me.
“You know what? Schneizel has asked me to teach you in magic. ”
That’s important, for sure.
