After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

Having said this, Mattia gently bent her fingers.

Originally, even if he found out Murphy's whereabouts, he had no intention of telling them.

Telling them in this situation is likely to lead to disastrous consequences.

Frodo might recover a little, and Filia might even rush towards the tower in high spirits.

But now, there is no need to worry so much.

After all, that man is now living a free and carefree life.

In that case, shouldn't we cooperate?

I have no reason to hide his whereabouts just for him.

Again, he let out a long sigh.

Mattia herself wasn't sure which category this incident belonged to.

But she knew the reason.

Madea looked out the window and squinted.

By this time, the sun had swallowed up the night and completely illuminated the sky.

The tall tower looked majestic under the light.

Madia once again held her hand tightly.

—Should I put a collar on you so you can no longer act on your own?

He whispered such innocent words in his heart.

Chapter 21 New Troubles

"I see. I was wondering where he had gone hiding like a rat. Turns out he was hiding in that tower."

In the living room, facing Filia who lowered her head and muttered, Mattia couldn't help but hold her breath.

Judging from her movements so far, will she immediately rush towards the tower with her silver hair shaking and her sword drawn?

This kind of imagination could not help but emerge in Mattia's mind, and it was extremely real.

"Well, it's possible, but it's just my guess."

Ah, I really should have blocked everything in my mind and said nothing.

And it was said that he was in that tower, but that was just my guess.

But the current situation is undoubtedly painful.

Of course, Mattia did initially choose not to mention this option.

But later, she thought about it carefully again.

Why should I help Murphy suppress Filia and Frodo, and even help hide his whereabouts for him?

Besides, since he's still alive and well, shouldn't he try to get in touch with us?

Despite this, it's already this late, but he still hasn't contacted me. I really don't understand how I feel.

What could be called a wave of resentful emotion surged wildly in her heart, and finally vented out through Mattia's mouth.

Besides, I couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

If Frodo continues to be left alone, she will become more and more lifeless and may even become devastated.

Madia shifted her gaze towards Frodo.

"Is that so? Are you okay? Huh... Yes, the princess's tower."

The moment she received the news, a look of surprise appeared on Frodo's face.

But then, an extremely complicated expression emerged.

What an indescribable look it was, with feelings of relief, anger and anxiety intertwined and conflicting with each other.

Is that expression really justifiable?

Mattia couldn't help but shrink her lip.

"...I know. Then, let's go to sleep. Ah, you should have contacted me. Really, remember this, Murphy!"

As soon as she finished saying this, it was clear that Frodo had eliminated her original emptiness.

Her spirit seemed to have revived somewhere.

Although his expression was still intricately distorted, it couldn't hide the drowsiness under his eyes and the fatigue of his body.

But now, she can finally rest in peace.

So, Mattia was relieved.

"Is that all? Miss Magician. Forcibly waking someone who is sleeping soundly is also a form of discipline, right?"

Filia smiled as if she found it amusing and said.

From this sentence, it can be seen that she seems to have regained her composure, just like Frodo.

If you can recover from something like this, couldn't you have controlled your emotions more before?

Complaining like this in her heart, Mattia's emotions seemed to be swaying in the wind.

And Filia shook the sword at her waist.

"Yes, yes."

Frodo turned around and responded, her words seeming to contain something awe-inspiring.

That voice sounded as if someone had already confirmed something.

"Murphy is playing tricks. He has already decided when he will appear. At the very end, in the most dangerous scene, that guy will definitely show up and carve his name on it."

——Then I'll take a short break.

Leaving these words behind, Frodo turned and walked up the stairs leading to the second floor.

After hearing what Frodo said, Filia's throat gurgled.

But there was a pleasant smile on her face, even a mocking look.

"That's absolutely right. He seems to think it's his duty to push himself into a desperate situation, but he shouldn't always act so arrogantly. Seriously, he's going to have to correct his behavior sooner or later."

The person speaking is completely different and the content is completely different.

However, the words of both of them resonated with Mattia in an incredible way.

Indeed, he, Murphy, is just like that.

It was the same before in Crossmaria, and it is the same now here in Gasalia.

He would always jump out in the most dangerous situations, causing new scars on that body.

That's what's called self-sacrifice.

In fact, this way of existence is not unfamiliar to Mattia.

Rather, she thought it was the right way to live.

Devote yourself to the majority and save more people.

This is actually the idea that Mattia has engraved in her heart.

However, Murphy's situation is not so much about having such a spirit of self-sacrifice.

Rather, he gave people the feeling that he was tired of living.

Therefore, there is no way to applaud his behavior.

——No, wait a minute.

Mattia once again pushed back the strange thoughts that emerged in her mind.

Unable to praise, why?

If Murphy is willing to jump into danger and sacrifice himself for victory, then there is nothing better than this, and he should be happy.

Unable to praise? That shouldn't be the case.

On the contrary, Heraldry should strongly promote this practice.

No, we should even praise this spirit as an honor.

The process and their feelings are actually not important. What is most important is the result and the benefits that the Church of Heraldry can gain from it, isn't it?

But why do I have such complicated feelings in my heart towards his behavior that can be said to be disregarding my life?

Mattia's eyebrows wrinkled involuntarily because of her inexplicable feelings.

"...That person, no matter what, threw himself into such a desperate situation. What was his real motivation?"

As if she was deceiving herself from the feelings that were arising in her heart, Mattia uttered words that were completely different from her true thoughts.

Then, as if in response to those words, Filia's silver hair swayed.

"Huh? Because he's weak."

Philia, please say this directly.

For Mattia, these words were also very unexpected.

Filia lives by the theory of the strong, and she is very clear about this.

However, even though Filia is such a person, she does not harbor any dislike towards those who she clearly feels are weak.

what on earth is this kind of happenings?

There was a question in Madia's eyes. Filia noticed this and smiled as if she found it ridiculous.

"Can't you see? Although I only discovered it recently, he is actually very weak at heart. That's why he reached out and tried to get his hands on the strong and ended up in a desperate situation."

"Yeah, he's almost like a hero... well, in my opinion, he's still far from being one."

At this time, Filia looked very proud.

But it is precisely because of this that it seems very strange.

She clearly said that he was weak, but it was like she was praising her possession.

This was probably the expression she showed.

"—But, that guy also has a strength that emerges from weakness. I'm very satisfied with that part of him. I really don't understand it—strength should be unshakable and incompatible with weakness."

——Come to think of it, when I first met that guy, there seemed to be a lot of things about him that I couldn't understand.

Having said this, although there were doubts about the content of the sentence, Filia's tone was unexpectedly calm, and her eyes were full of kindness.

Knowing her intense personality, her current appearance was even more unbelievable.

"Don't just let me talk. So, what about you? What are you looking for in him?"

Filia's fair face flushed slightly, and the gaze from her silver eyes pierced through Madia.

Mattia's shoulders shook slightly.

What am I looking for in him?

Mattia couldn't help but repeat this sentence, as if she would never understand its meaning if she didn't do so.

- What am I looking for in Murphy? What does that mean? I've never said that before, and I won't take it to heart. That's it, ah, that's right, there's no such thing.

When Mattia pursed her lips and expressed this.

Filia blinked and couldn't help laughing.

"If that's what you think, that's fine. However, neither I nor that magician will change because of this. After all, if we act too late, there might not even be a piece of meat left."

——Of course, I don’t plan to stay here.

Filia said this, perhaps to give her body a rest, she turned around and walked towards the door.

What are you talking about?

Mattia looked at her back and bit her lip.

There was no relationship between him and Murphy, right? If I had to put it simply, it was that of helper and assisted, and the rest was just the resentment he harbored towards him.

And even if I really have something I'm looking for, it's impossible to find it in him.
