After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

In fact, Murphy discovered at the very beginning that the well-behaved girl sitting next to old Jed was not the real Filia at all.

That was just her poor disguise in front of her elders.

The real Filia is as carefree as she is now.

Although she always hit him hard during training, she never felt any sense of boundaries between men and women towards Murphy. It would be better to say that she rarely treated herself as a woman.

Because in her opinion, her gender is swordsman, and swordsmen are not divided by gender.

Seeing Murphy staring at her, Filia seemed to realize her own gaffe. She remembered that she had never shown this kind of attitude in front of Murphy.

So she coughed twice to cover up her loss of composure, then straightened her body and put on a very serious and polite look.

Seeing her pretending again, Murphy muttered in dissatisfaction: "...what happened just now was actually quite good."

"What?" Filia didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing." Murphy shrugged, then pointed to the tent on the left and said, "Go to sleep first."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you to keep watch."

Filia nodded to Murphy, then stood up and walked towards the tent that Murphy pointed to.

She didn't say anything about helping to keep watch, but went straight to bed.

Looking at her back, Murphy said nothing. He decided to be more serious next time. He must not let the situation happen again like before where Filia walked up to him without him noticing.

With Filia's departure, the night fell silent again.

Only the occasional crackling of wood indicated that the world was still moving.

This went on until the second half of the night. Hearing the noise, Murphy turned his head to look at the tent on the left.

Murphy stared blankly at Filia who walked up to her, not knowing what she meant.

"What are you looking at? It's time to change shifts." Filia stood in front of Murphy, one hand on her waist and the other covering her mouth.

At this moment, Filia was yawning constantly. Although the bedding in the tent was very soft and it was very comfortable to sleep in, the sleep time was too short after all, and it was not enough to make up for the fatigue of the day.

But even so, vigil must be done.

Well, although she didn't say anything before when she went to bed.

But some things are better done directly than announced loudly.

After hearing this, Murphy finally came to his senses, but because of the instinct that had already been knocked into his soul, he said directly to Filia: "No, I will do it——"

He originally wanted to say, "No, I'll just keep watch."

But he had barely opened his mouth to say this before he choked it harshly in his throat.

"Yeah... that's right, it's time for a shift change." He changed his tone and continued, "Then I'll trouble you to stay on duty for the rest of the night."

Murphy stood up and took two steps towards the tent, while Filia yawned and sat down where he had been sitting.

"Nothing, go to bed."

After she sat down, she noticed Murphy, who had stopped walking, looking over at her. She couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"...No, nothing, nothing at all."

Murphy smiled, shook her head slowly, and turned to walk towards the tent.

Yes, there is no need to stay up all night.

My whole life has started over again, and I no longer have to stay in the brave team.

So, there is no need for that anymore.

But it is quite interesting that Filia would take the initiative to come out to keep watch.

Hiss! Could she be some weird person pretending to be her?

Murphy smiled and shook his head, making a joke about Filia in his heart.

You have to know that in the previous life, things like night watch were a task that belonged to Murphy alone, and Filia never offered to come and help.

And it's not just Filia, no one in the brave team will help Murphy keep watch, because this is a task that had been arranged long before the adventure began.

In fact, at the beginning, Yong and Ella sometimes wanted to come over to take over the shift, but every time they were sent back to sleep by Murphy.

Because at that time, Murphy felt that he was the most suitable person for the night watch job.

Anyway, even if he died suddenly, it would only make the brave team lose an insignificant person, but if others lost their combat effectiveness due to lack of rest, it would be a loss.

Only Candice and Murphy stayed up all night together once.

That day, she followed Murphy stubbornly, staring at his back with a terrifying look.

Magicians are always very curious, and Murphy is well aware of this, so he had no choice but to agree to let Candice follow him to try it.

As a result, after that incident, she never mentioned helping with night watch again.

Because that night, she slept right next to Murphy... on the ground.

In addition to liking to stay in bed, Candice simply can't stay up late. This was the new information Murphy learned that night.

In fact, Murphy collected a lot of such information during his four-year journey.

After the joke in his heart was over, Murphy walked to the front of the tent. He looked back and found that Filia was fiddling with the campfire boredly.

Murphy shook her head and stopped paying attention to that place. She went straight into the tent and closed her eyes to start her precious sleep.

"..."

"...What's that smell?"

Soon, Murphy opened his eyes again because he smelled a smell that did not belong to the quilt itself.

It was a very faint fragrance.

It was so faint that he might not have noticed it if he hadn't sniffed it carefully a few times.

Murphy pressed her nose against the quilt and took a deep breath, then closed her eyes and savored the moment briefly.

"Hmm, does it smell like milk?"

He opened his eyes again and wondered why there was a smell of milk in the quilt.

"Ah... No way...."

After a while, he suddenly thought of a possibility.

This milky scent might be left by Filia.

It is also commonly known as body odor.

“Is this true…?”

Murphy doesn't believe in such things.

It is hard to say whether body odor exists or not.

And even if body odor really exists, it must be a very faint smell and will not spread everywhere.

It would be outrageous if the quilt could be contaminated with human scent after just a short sleep.

"That's it, I know."

Murphy slowly turned the quilt in a different direction, and he guessed the real reason.

Filia had eaten soup before, and the soup had milk in it.

So this milky scent must have come from when she had just fallen asleep.

Left behind by wiping your mouth with the bed sheet.

Chapter 68 Do You Lack Enough Respect for Me?

"Master Murphy, the area ahead is the earldom's territory."

"Thanks a lot."

Murphy comforted Bray who was driving outside through a layer of cloth.

If they counted from the day they set out, they rode non-stop and it took them three days to reach the Earldom from Lars, and now it was noon on the third day.

But this does not mean that their journey has ended. The earldom is a large area, not just a fortress.

The place they had just arrived at was only the edge of the earldom, and it was still a long way from their real destination, Wilfred Castle.

"You're so free, tell me something interesting."

"Are you saying that the woman next to you is arrogant?"

Murphy dodged the flying iron fist easily by turning her head, and the iron fist made a low sound when it hit the wooden board.

This woman's behavior pattern will not change, either now or in the future.

"Master Murphy, what happened?"

"It's nothing, just keep driving."

After answering, Murphy turned his head to Filia.

The meaning of that look was very clear: sir, please do not disturb the driver.

Facing Murphy's affectionate gaze, Filia just shrugged and ignored his warning.

It’s interesting, I wonder if Filia figured something out while she was on night watch.

The day after she finished her night watch, she no longer maintained the aristocratic disguise she had always maintained, but revealed her true self.

After hearing Murphy's false question, she even pretended to be confused: "Did you remember it wrongly? I have always been like this and have never changed."

As a result, this lie was ruthlessly exposed by Murphy. Helplessly, Filia had to confess the truth to him: "It's too tiring to pretend to be serious every day. I feel more comfortable like this now."

Murphy didn't delve into it any further. He already knew Filia's true nature, and his previous questions were just to pretend to be like, "Ah, why did you suddenly become like this? I'm really surprised."

After this matter was simply exposed, Filia, who no longer pretended, easily improved her relationship with Murphy.

It’s not surprising. People with such a carefree personality always get along well with others.

During the three-day journey, she and Murphy had become friends who could joke with each other like they did just now.

But the main reason is Murphy himself.

Because Filia suddenly changed back to her original appearance, Murphy always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with her.

So after a brief thought, he simply treated her now with the same attitude as he treated Filia in his previous life.

Surprisingly, Filia simply asked, "Don't you have enough respect for me? Huh?", and then she easily accepted the way Murphy treated her.

In fact, what Filia said was right. After all, between Murphy as a commoner and her as a noble, who is more noble? Even a child would know it clearly.

If viewed from the perspective of an aristocrat, Murphy's attitude could even be considered disrespectful, and he might even be dragged out and beheaded one day.

"Please send me off."

"Nothing, nothing happened on the road anyway, I took the money for free."

If you only look at the difficulty, this job is indeed easy, because you only need to sit in a rickety carriage for a few days to complete the work, and then you can get the money.

Nothing happened during these three days except for Filia's changes.

Murphy and his friends never encountered any special events that are standard in other-worldly adventures, such as encountering a lone large monster or being robbed by a group of bandits.

I'm afraid that once I enter the earldom, the possibility of encountering such a special situation will be even lower.

This is the territory of the Reinhardt family. The public security is very good and no one dares to cause trouble here.

And even if we put all this aside, Murphy still thought that there was no need for Filia to thank him specifically, because he embarked on this journey just for his own selfish reasons.

After Murphy finished answering, the air gradually became quiet, with only the occasional creaking sound from the bumpy carriage.

Murphy didn't like this atmosphere, especially when he was with Filia, so he began to actively look for topics to talk about.

"Do you know who Rayleigh is? He seems to be from your family too."

Filia actually knew a little about what Murphy saw and heard in the city lord's fortress that day.

Because Old Jed told her about Dickens' commission, and did not specifically hide Murphy's role in it.

That's not necessary.

Filia seemed a little surprised to hear Murphy mention Rayleigh, but she still answered the question: "He is my cousin, the son of my father's younger brother."

"...The last sentence is unnecessary. I'm not a fool."
