After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

Therefore, no flaws can be shown.

At least, you can't say it directly.

And, most importantly, I had no idea what Filia meant by this question.

So, at least, don't say all your thoughts out loud from the beginning.

How to reply?

First of all, why would Filia ask such a thing? I don't know.

Does it mean that since we are partners, we should choose ourselves?

Thoughts shuttle back and forth in the brain, slowly selecting language.

"There's no deep meaning to it. I just grabbed the nearest hand. Does it need any meaning?"

This is probably the safest answer.

What Filia asked just now was probably just to clear up any doubts.

Then as long as the problem is buried, it should be fine.

Yes, it's easy.

"...Listen, let me tell you, if it were me, I wouldn't have let you get hurt so horribly."

After chewing on the words here carefully, Filia murmured softly.

The silver eyes turned towards this side again.

Suddenly I felt that those eyes did not seem to have a strong will at all times. For example, now, they were showing something else.

Indeed, if it was Filia, there would definitely be no problem.

If Filia was there, she probably wouldn't have been easily captured by the Heraldry Cult from the beginning.

If we cooperate well with her, we should be able to easily deal with those Paladins.

Moreover, even if he wanted to escape, he and she would never hold each other back.

And, at least, Filia had absolutely no such weak will.

Filia didn't wait for anyone to speak and continued.

"This time, you were saved by that magician. But in the final analysis, it was the result of you and that magician losing your composure."

Having said that, Filia stopped talking.

The silver hair was swaying, and the eyes seemed to be staring, staring at this side without stopping for a moment.

Ah, so that’s it.

Finally, I began to understand what Filia meant.

If that's the case, just say it directly.

At least that's what I said directly during my previous trips.

Ah, if it looks like this, this guy isn't as frank as I thought.

So, with this thought in mind that he couldn't let the other person know, he shrugged lightly, his lips slightly moving.

"——I understand. I'm grateful to Frodo for saving me, but Filia, I don't think you're unreliable at all. If I were with you, I would definitely have returned unscathed."

So, is it time to go to bed?

With these thoughts in mind, he uttered the above words.

Anyway, Filia probably wanted to confirm this.

I'm afraid the conversation that has just started was just to show off my abilities - although this commission failed, don't underestimate me. As long as I'm in the right place, I can fully demonstrate my strength.

This is probably what I wanted to express, but I had to go in a big circle.

When it comes to dignity, Filia has it higher than anyone else, even ridiculously high.

Not that I think there's anything wrong with that.

Rather, it is precisely because of this elegant temperament that I respect Filia.

After all, if it were me, I would be satisfied just by returning safely from the commission.

But for Filia, the result of this commission was probably not what she wanted. After all, it was a complete failure.

So, if you can satisfy them with words, then do so. After all, nice words are the easiest bargaining chip.

Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at Filia's face.

Are you satisfied now? If so, let me sleep immediately.

However, it was far from what was expected.

In Filia's eyes, there was more discomfort than surprise.

"Murphy—you don't understand anything, do you?"

I couldn't help but let out a cry at this reaction.

Haha, if that idea is wrong, what exactly did Filia mean?

——If it were me, I wouldn’t have let you get hurt so terribly.

Didn't you just say that? So there shouldn't be anything wrong with your idea...right?

and many more.

Hmm...are you worried about this side?

Yes, after all, we are friends, so it is normal to worry.

Um, okay, sorry, I just got the wrong idea.

I was clearly worried about this, but I actually thought you were just trying to show off. I'm so sorry.

But, this makes sense, right?

Don't be too demanding on this side. After all, it's impossible for me to understand all the thoughts. I really hope you can become a person who can fully realize this.

I couldn't help but sigh deeply at this.

Then, Filia suddenly stood up from her chair, closing the distance between them.

Then, he looked down at us and said.

"Listen, Murphy, you are my accomplice, right? Then you should have held my hand."

...It's really unreasonable.

This time it's something else, really.

Putting aside the purpose itself, as a reaction to triggering the trap, if you can take care of whose hand to grab, is it necessary to choose a specific person?

After all, someone who could do something like that wouldn't fall into a trap in the first place.

Filia ignored the confused look on her face and continued.

"What does this face mean? Are you dissatisfied?"

"Hmph—I don't mind. If you can't fulfill your obligations as an accomplice, then I will honestly take back the sword and return directly to the earldom."

After saying that, Filia drank the beer on the table and then brought her face closer.

At that distance, you might have been able to feel each other's breath. That's why you have become what you are now.

I can understand it. After all, your eyes even look a little distorted now.

Then, on the other hand, he couldn't help but tighten his face.

So, Filia, you said this on purpose because you know where the sword is now, right?

You know, that thing is inside the body now.

"Of course I know. But that sword is like half of my body now. If you take away half of it, my body will be torn apart."

She seemed to be very happy, and Filia even laughed out loud.

Here, at this distance, you can clearly see the movement of that white neck.

You're clearly about to tear your accomplice's body apart, yet you're so happy? You damned bastard, you must be enjoying this situation, no doubt about it.

Maybe that unhappy look at the beginning was just an act.

Isn't that what you seem like now?

"Listen carefully, Murphy. Since my sword resides in your body, half of your body is my property. How can property leave its owner without permission, right?"

"Ah, if you really want to leave, I won't be polite."

Hearing the latter part of the sentence being said with a smile, I couldn't help but shudder.

To be honest, I can completely understand the hidden meaning of that sentence. The meaning is really too obvious.

——If you dare to leave, I will tear your body apart.

Perhaps he wanted to express that he was not joking, as his silver pupils seemed to want to shoot through him, getting closer and closer.

So that's how it is. It seems that this kind of arrogance has not changed at all compared to before.

Moreover, it feels like things have gotten even worse, and in a bad direction.

"...If you say so, isn't it also one of the owner's responsibilities to let his possessions rest?"

In response to this, he could only hunch his shoulders, turn his head away as if avoiding the gaze, and replied with a hint of sarcasm.

This guy is always playing tricks on us, so even if we don't need to think, we should at least play tricks back on him.

I don’t know why Filia is so happy about the current situation on my side. I can even see a tangible smile in her silver eyes.

Filia slowly moved her face back from a distance where she could feel his breathing, and then spoke again with joy.

"Don't be so silly. Today's situation is undoubtedly the result of your willfulness. I am not responsible at all."

"So, it's normal to be exhausted. Listen to the master and get ready to go out. I finally found out from An that there's a restaurant with great food and good reviews."

After saying this, Filia pinched her cheek lightly, and her usual smile appeared on her face.

The curve of the corners of his eyes and the rhythmic movements seemed to indicate that this guy was quite happy.

But this time, you are finally satisfied, right?

Then, on the other hand, cursed Lalga An from the bottom of his heart.

——Please, let me sleep.

But why, when I think like this.

The bed that was right next to me just now is getting farther and farther away?

Chapter 28: Evil Secret Meeting (3000)

The slums were filled with a foul smell.

The stench of left-behind excrement is like the stench of a rotting human body, or the stench of dirt being stewed in a pot, and it is everywhere.

There was no vitality around, everyone was walking around with their heads down, never looking up at the sky.

All they have in their hearts is today.

There is no such thing as tomorrow in their hearts. The sayings of "see you tomorrow" are just luxurious words said by the strong who can guarantee their survival today.

Haha… How ironic that I just got out of the slums and ended up in a new one.

"So, you're not just walking here for fun, are you?"

As if urging him, he asked Lalge An.

From the moment she started, there was no sign of hesitation in her steps.

I have walked to the same place several times, so I can understand this behavior. It is a little trick to make myself unable to remember the way.

In fact, in this dim slum filled with similar places, if you walk back and forth like this, it will gradually become difficult for anyone to remember the terrain.

If I hadn't had someone to lead the way in the slums of the royal capital, I would probably have found it difficult to remember all the routes until the day I left.

Lalge An gave a natural wry smile to these words.

"Yes. It's going to be hard to get used to this place, so let's go to the base together."
