After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

"Talented? Humph... idiot. Are you trying to flatter me? Or do you think I can succeed?"

"Of course... Ah, that's why I accepted the commission and came here."

of course.

It's not like this.

Chapter 13 Decision Making

"That's why I accepted the commission and came here."

Of course, that's not the case.

I came here to regain Candice's memory.

However, her success is undoubted, and history has proven everything.

Moreover, I have heard that she has been very talented since she was a child.

Well, since he is a genius, there is naturally no problem.

In an instant, the sound behind me stopped.

Ah, so that's it.

Thinking of this, I looked back.

Well, as expected, it’s here, just right.

Here's another reason to step into the trap.

"Okay, we're here, Miss Employer. Is this your destination?"

You can hear the sound of Frodo taking a breath.

He looked surprised, very happy, and seemed to be sorting out some emotions.

Indeed, there seemed to be a somewhat smug expression on his face.

After passing through the narrow and dark passage, we arrived at the spacious sanctuary.

Yes, this is the main hall of this underground temple.

Frodo's destination, a gathering place of knowledge that the Heraldry believers have always guarded.

-------------------------------------

The human body was buried in the wall, no, it should be said that it was sucked into the wall.

Filia Reinhardt frowned in surprise, her white fingers groping along the stone wall.

The feeling I got from there was the natural feeling of stone, and there was no sign of the trap being activated like before.

Filia couldn't help but smack her lips.

What on earth was that guy thinking, leaning his body against such an outdated mechanism?

And that woman, why did she bring the magician who calls herself Frodo along?

"Let's decide on a strategy—the situation is dire. The team is separated, and there's no pre-arranged rendezvous point... The best approach, of course, is to return to the city and seek help."

This woman, Aimee Castina, was right.

It can even be said that there is no flaw at all.

If the team is divided by a trap, it would be unwise to go for a rescue and get caught in a secondary disaster.

The best course of action was for the two of them to return to the city immediately to seek help.

The second point is to stay here for a while and observe the situation, hoping that the separated members can escape the trap.

The worst option is for the remaining personnel - that is, myself and this other guy - to go to the rescue together.

Filia Reinhardt flickered her silver eyes slightly, pondering a countermeasure in her mind.

Then, he spoke out his words.

"No, keep moving forward. You can't expect anything from retreating. If you want to find the best answer, moving forward is the best way."

"What a coincidence. I thought so too. Time cannot be reversed. The later the rescue, the less likely it is to be rescued."

Aimeis nodded repeatedly in response to what Filia said, her silver hair swaying.

Both of them concluded that the best option now was to choose the worst option.

No matter where it is, it is the result of emotion, but there is also rational calculation in it.

First, we didn't bring enough gear to sustain a few days of camping; all we had was one day's worth of food and water.

Then, it takes a day's carriage ride from Crossmaria to this temple.

Even if we walk fast enough, it will take at least two days to call for help and get back here.

If there are no injuries, then it's fine.

Even if a day's worth of food is eaten, it won't kill anyone.

If you plan your usage carefully and save money, you should be able to save enough for two days.

However, if you fall into a new trap, the possibility of getting hurt is very high.

Severe injuries, loss of limbs, or excessive bleeding.

If that's the case, even just one day might not be safe.

In this case, it is time to act immediately.

If you are concerned about their safety, the best solution is to deal with the accident as soon as possible.

"Besides, that man will definitely fall into the trap first. Ah, yes, it's clear that this guy is just like that."

With a tone that sounded like mockery and helplessness, Filia buried her words in the stone corridor.

It was very dark around and I could only see clearly by turning on the lights.

If it is an underground temple, then the main hall should be hidden deep underground.

To be honest, hiding a temple that symbolizes faith underground is already a very abnormal thing.

Only those Heralds who were persecuted and driven out of their homes would have such thoughts.

To be honest, Filia couldn't imagine such a strange structure at all.

despite this......

But I couldn't help but see the current posture of that man - Murphy in my imagination.

In response, Filia smiled, her throat moving slightly as she let out a sound of pleasure.

"...I know this isn't something you should say in a critical moment like this. But, could it be that Miss Filia is of noble birth?"

Perhaps because she heard the overflowing emotions, Ames asked as she walked ahead with a lamp.

"Why do you think so?"

When Filia asked this question, Ames replied in a gentle tone.

"The degree of tan, the tone of voice, the way of using language, there will certainly be differences between the inferior common people and the noble people."

"—Common people don't care about words, and if they have been driven by hard work, their skin will be tanned and their bodies will show corresponding characteristics."

Ames thought for a moment and continued, "Because I've noticed someone in the guild who doesn't fit in with this type of person, I've been paying attention to you from the very beginning."

"I see." Filia looked at her white fingers and nodded involuntarily.

Yes, this hand only knows how to hold a sword. It has never done farm work, does not know how to pick wheat, and does not even know how to wring a rag.

Although he had been an adventurer, it would be more accurate to say that his past adventurer career was more about fun than adventure.

I'm afraid even the guy in my team is more of an adventurer than me.

......etc.

The guy who formed the team?

Team up? With whom?

Has there been such a thing before?

Filia frowned, confused by the sudden discrepancy in her memory.

But then, he shook his head.

I can't remember, maybe I remembered it wrong.

Yes, I must have remembered it wrong.

It was indeed he who secretly left the family and went to Lars to be an adventurer. He should have been alone later.

However, despite this, he still carried a lot of money taken from home.

Therefore, I have never worried about lack of funds, nor have I done any hard chores for it.

Thinking about it this way, I always feel that this hand is not very reliable.

Yes, indeed, that guy's hands are very abnormal.

This is the most suitable hand to express that your life is like being smoked by coal smoke.

"Then, I have another question. What is the connection between Miss Filia and Mr. Murphy?"

"...I don't understand what you mean. I have the freedom to be with whomever I want, right?"

Chapter 14 The Fair Man

"Then, I have another question. What is the connection between Miss Filia and Mr. Murphy?"

The strange way of speaking, where she chooses her words carefully, may be a manifestation of the sincerity and cleanliness in Aimee's heart.

"I don't understand what you mean. I have the freedom to be with whomever I want, right?"

"Yes, of course. But it's rare for people from different backgrounds to be together."

Of course.

Filia and Murphy, if you ask whether these two have the same background - just looking at their characteristics, you can tell that their status is very different.

If we say that the manners and atmosphere created by every detail of Filia's actions are noble.

In contrast, Murphy is a commoner.

For example, if Filia is the master and Murphy is the servant, it doesn't seem strange.

However, judging from the transactions within the guild and the process leading up to this point, the relationship is probably not that simple.

No, to be honest.

First of all, I'm afraid even Filia herself couldn't clearly distinguish the relationship between herself and Murphy.

"How should I put it? My relationship with that guy—"

Filia touched her chin and spoke while thinking.

"Well, it's strange, isn't it? Miss Filia trusts Mr. Murphy very much. Yes, Mr. Murphy is very trusted by Miss Filia. I can only dare to think that..."

"Are you two in a romantic relationship?"

Hearing this, Filia's thoughts stopped involuntarily.

It was as if an unknown hand had tied my thoughts.

Romantic relationship.

Lovers who love each other and miss each other.

Talk about love and the relationship between each other.

Me and, that guy...that guy?

No, it's not like that.

That won't happen.

They have just met each other, have different identities and lifestyles. How could such a thing happen if two people fell in love?
