"Let me think..."
Although Mireidi thought about it, but probably had already made up his mind, Mireidi took a step forward.
"Xiao Liu, we—"
“Xiao Liu?”
"Oh, please be quiet for a moment!"
Now it's serious time, Meredith coughed.
"I'd like to ask Xiaonai to continue protecting Xiaoliu, while Mei'er-sister will focus on treating the wounded. Then, Ao and the others will fight on the front lines."
Ross Byrne was indeed exhausted, and the fact that he still mastered new moves despite being tired made Miledy sweat, but with the addition of Oscar, the stalemate was broken.
Furthermore, if Bandu were to deal with the Beast Light Knights, they would be completely suppressed. Bandu, after his Ice Dragon transformation, was no less powerful than the Holy Dragon King Aedra. Uruluk's flying dragons and Kuo's demon wolves would not be outmatched by the Holy Dragon and Holy Beast forces. With Marshall and the others joining in, the battle against Lilith and the others would be much easier than it already was.
"I think we should act quickly. This time we'll take the initiative, at least—"
Meredith was very calm, and her small body exuded a domineering aura that seemed to paralyze the skin.
"Liberators must take the initiative. Through this battle, I want to let the world know that the Church is not 'absolute'."
In the silent throne room, Meredi turned her gaze towards Oscar and Bandu.
Oscar pushed his glasses up and Bandu tugged at his scarf.
"I will follow the leader's instructions."
"As long as it's your order, then I'll just carry it out."
The two responded with smug smiles. Bart and the others were equally motivated, responding with powerful stares. Meredith, proud of her companions, puffed out her chest and turned to look at Lutilis. She smiled as well, then nodded as if realizing something.
"Then let us, the Republic, strike together with the Liberator. Defeat the Kingdom of God, crush justice, and awaken the Federation."
Lutilis's voice was powerful and stern. No one objected, and everyone's eyes were filled with determination.
"Tomorrow we will bring this war to an end. Leader of the Liberator, Miss Millardy Lessin, we share your fate."
"Yes, Her Majesty Queen Lutilis Hartrina, we liberators also share the fate of the Republic."
Lutilis stood up from her throne, walked down to the stage, and extended her hand.
Meredith, who was standing next to her, held her hand firmly.
All the orcs applauded and cheered enthusiastically for the two people joining hands in public.
After that, Meredy and the others decided to use the time before the next day as a break. They returned to their assigned rooms to clean up the mess left by the battle.
Lutilis wanted to hold a tea party for only the Age of Gods magicians—in other words, she wanted to fully unleash her true nature before the decisive battle. So after tidying up her appearance, she planned to hold the tea party by the spring pool.
Oscar's eyes lit up at the sight of the cat-eared maid leading the way. He followed her to a spring shrouded in thick fog. Guided by the slightly stiff-faced maid, Oscar made his way through the fog to the spring. There, he saw something unexpected.
"Oh? Meredith, are you alone so early in the morning?"
Although women's preparations took time, it seemed that Meredi was the first to arrive, and there was no sign of Natsu and Bandu.
"Huh, you're so slow! Xiao Mi thought she was being excluded and was so sad she was about to jump into the river."
A closer look revealed that Meredith had removed her shoes and socks, her delicate feet dunking in the water. She must have been simply enjoying the cool air, but that was precisely why she had said she was about to jump.
In short──
"Haha, that's funny."
Oscar laughed out loud.
"Hey, Oscar, what do you mean by that? Huh?"
The implication was that "Your spirit isn't that delicate," and Meredith's eyes turned cold. She patted the ground beside her with an unhappy expression.
This was the leader's order, Oscar shrugged and sat down next to Meredith. Because he had just taken a shower, Oscar didn't want to get wet, so he sat cross-legged without putting his feet in the water.
The two of them remained silent for a long moment. However, the atmosphere wasn't awkward at all; instead, it was filled with a calm and peaceful atmosphere. They simply sat side by side, lost in thought.
After an unknown amount of time, Meredith suddenly spoke.
"Ross Byrne, he really was the one who saved Belle."
"...I see. Did you thank him?"
"Yes, I made a promise with him later."
"Then you must prove to him that Millardi Lessen will not lose to anyone."
"Um."
"I won't let anyone get in your way."
"Um."
Even without saying it, Oscar seemed to know what she had agreed to. And he didn't deny it just because she was his enemy, but rather affirmed it as if it was natural and agreed to help.
Meredith's ponytail swayed and danced, as if expressing her mood, and she also moved her feet, splashing the water.
"Hey, Meredith, the water might get on my glasses..."
"Just bear with it."
"That's unreasonable."
"Xiao Mi is a beautiful girl, and beautiful girls are unreasonable."
"Apologize to all the beautiful girls in the country."
Meredith, who was clearly unhappy just now, now kicked the water happily.
It was normal for her moods and expressions to change, so Oscar shrugged helplessly.
Yes, as usual.
A month and a half—they had never been apart for so long since they met Meredith. And since it was her first time participating in a real war, Oscar was worried about whether she might be troubled. But it seemed his worries were unfounded; Meredith remained the same as always.
Oscar heaved a sigh of relief. At that moment, the water splashed right into Oscar's face. The amount of water wasn't just a splash; it was clearly aimed at him.
"...What are you doing, Meredith?"
Oscar's tone naturally lowered, but it seemed that Meredith had a reason.
"Who told you to stare at me like that?! Stop looking at me!"
"You're calling me a pervert. How dare you."
A strange look—I see. Normally, it would be interpreted as lustful, so Oscar's interpretation was perfectly normal. He never imagined that his gentle gaze on Meredith had made her uncomfortable, leading to a misunderstanding.
"What? Wanna fight? It's just Ao!"
Meredith turned her body and kicked Oscar with her wet bare feet.
"Hey, stop kicking, your clothes will get wet."
"Just take it, because this is also Xiao Mi's punishment for you!"
"Punishment? Tell me what I did?"
While they were talking, Meredith dipped her feet in the water to hydrate them before launching her barefoot attack. Since they were both sitting, if she lifted her feet too high, her skirt would be visible.
It was not known whether Meredith knew or not. Although Oscar began to question her, he still held Meredith's feet with his hands to prevent her from lifting them too high.
"You're so slow."
It shouldn't be referring to the spring, it must be referring to the sea of trees.
"Have I explained the reason to you?"
"I don't care."
Oscar was so rude, he grabbed Meredith's soft bare feet, with an embarrassed expression on his face. Meredith kept pushing Oscar's hands with her feet.
It was natural that the legs were stronger than the arms, but now there were men who were training and girls who were not professional in close combat. No matter how much Milady pushed, Oscar remained motionless.
"Damn Ao, so arrogant."
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. Okay, everyone's almost here, put your shoes on."
Oscar took out a handkerchief from his bosom, then held Milady's bare feet and wiped them gently.
"Hey, no need! I can clean it myself!"
"Yeah?"
Even so, Oscar's hand did not stop. If Meredith took the handkerchief, he would probably give it to Meredith himself... But Meredith still decided to let Oscar continue.
(Illustration 013)
"Very good, it's rare that you have such a heart. I'll leave it to you."
"Yes, yes."
"Oh, you're having a hard time, pretty girl. It's okay if you don't have to do it, but you just want to serve me anyway. You're having a hard time~ Pretty girl, you're having a hard time~"
"Yeah, it's been hard on the pretty girl."
"Xiao Mi is such a sinful woman. I'm so sorry, Ao! Mireddy is so charming!"
"Yes, yes, you are charming and attractive."
"..."
Meredith stretched her legs and continued to talk, but her voice gradually grew quieter. Her eyes wandered elsewhere, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
"Okay, that's it."
"Hmm."
Her feet were tapped, and Meredith let out a strange cry. For some reason, she glared at Oscar with cold eyes and stood up to put on her shoes and socks.
Then, Meredith stretched out her hand and saw a pitch-black cockroach crawling out of her knee-high socks.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Meredy leaped up with a wail that was not at all feminine, then leaped back and spun around at breakneck speed! With a swift movement, she pounced on her reliable companion, Ao.
“Oh~!”
"Wow, wait, calm down—"
They were at the spring, and it was perfectly clear what would happen if someone suddenly bumped into them from behind. Sure enough, Oscar and Meredith fell into the spring together.
Moreover, even at the shallow edge of the spring, the water was still up to Meredith's chest, so of course they were completely submerged. The two of them exhaled bubbles in the water and quickly raised their heads to the surface.
"Ahem, Meredith, are you really that angry with me? Even so, I think you've gone too far."
Oscar's forehead was bulging with veins, and Meredith, coughing up water, pointed in the direction of her shoes in defense. Though it wasn't obvious because she was completely soaked, tears were probably in her eyes.
"No, that's not it! Wo-chan is here! Ouroboros stirs in the darkness!"
"Who is that?"
"It's a cockroach!"
"Did you name the cockroach?! Meredith, go get some rest right now! You're exhausted."
"No! Xiaowo is a special cockroach. He's Xiaoliu's best friend!"
"You're so disrespectful! A cockroach can't possibly be the Queen's best friend! If that were true, wouldn't that make him a weirdo?"
Oops? Behind the thick fog... someone seemed to be making strange noises? But the two noisy people didn't seem to hear it.
"Wow, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you won't believe it."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about the fact that you'll be deeply shocked if you find out later."
"No, seriously, what are you talking about?"
The queen wasn't a freak, she was a pervert. That being said, you wouldn't believe it unless you saw it with your own eyes. A queen of a country is a hopeless masochist and pervert. Normally, it's impossible.
"Okay, Meredith, stop talking nonsense and get ashore. The cockroaches seem to have run away."
"Huh? Really? Isn't that Xiaowo... Xiaomi just can't tell it apart."
It looked like a common cockroach had accidentally gotten in. If it were a small Wo, it would probably stand nimbly on its two legs and say, "Sorry, I scared you!"
Realizing that the first day's experience had already left her with a mild mental trauma, Meredith sighed and decided she had to overcome it. Following Oscar, Meredith tried to leave the fountain when she saw the jewelry about to fall out of Oscar's shirt pocket.
"Oh, that thing is about to fall out."
