After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

She remembered what had just happened, and suddenly had an idea, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Roderick, the president of the Adventurer's Guild's Tafia branch... heh heh, he could use it."

--------

In the configuration of the Goddess Blade team, in addition to being responsible for designing plans, intelligence gathering and tactics, all those miscellaneous matters are also his job.

As the noble First Chosen Hero, how could she waste her time on such trivial matters?—That was what Leah herself had always believed.

However, now, Aize ran away, Heidi went out, and another teammate Rosalyn was the most seriously injured and had not yet woken up.

Even if Leia was extremely reluctant, she had to deal with the accumulated chores.

And when she ordered Constantine, who was once Aize's adjutant, to send the relevant things to her, a stack of documents half a person's height was thrown onto the table in front of Leah with a thud.

This petrified Leia.

"This... all of these?"

"Yes, Lady Leah."

Constantine replied expressionlessly.

Leah's anger immediately flared up, and she started swearing at the pile of papers:

"That idiot Aize, it's fine if he's not qualified as a hero, but why is he even being discounted for these jobs? He's owing so much money, what on earth does he do all the time?! Am I being too polite to him!?"

The corners of the Knight Commander's mouth curled up slightly. He was expressionless most of the time, but for a moment, there was a hint of sarcasm on his face.

Then he said expressionlessly:

"Lady Leah, these documents are only for the first few days after the operation began. Lord Aize has already processed all the previous work."

How many days' supply?

It would take me several days just to go through this pile of stuff, let alone process it.

But while completing this workload, can Aize also handle intelligence command and planning tasks?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Leia suddenly remembered that this Constantine seemed to be Aize's confidant?

It must be Aize who instructed him to do this to him!

With such a firm conclusion, Leah snorted coldly, pointed at Constantine's nose and cursed:

"How is it possible that there is so much work in just a few days!? Do you think I'm stupid?!"

"..."

Constantine said nothing, not even a flicker of expression.

Because he agreed with the second half of Leah's sentence.

But Leah thought she was right and became even more proud:

"Did Aize instruct you to do this?! That guy didn't actually leave, he's hiding in your place, right? He did this to make me look ridiculous, right?!"

Constantine, unable to bear it any longer, shook his head.

"Lord Aize has indeed left, and many people can testify to this. As for this work, compared to the amount Lord Aize usually handles, it is already very small."

"……What?"

"Before this battle began, Lord Aize dealt with many things in advance. What we have now is only half of Lord Aize's usual workload."

“You’re lying!!”

"Every word is true."

Constantine still had no expression on his face, and even his tone was so flat that no fluctuation could be heard at all.

Just as Leah was about to continue her outburst, the curtain of the tent was lifted and a familiar figure walked in.

"Calm down, Xiaoya. As a hero of the goddess, it's not good for the soldiers to hear you yelling like this."

A woman around twenty years old.

Unlike Leah, she had long, smooth, pure silver hair that was like a waterfall, almost reaching the ground. Even in the dim light of the oil lamp, it looked shining.

Her facial features are perfect and attractive, her skin is flawless and white, coupled with her pure blue eyes and kind, natural smile. She is beyond beautiful and charming, and even reaches the level of divinity.

He was wearing a loose, light white robe embellished with the church's sacred patterns, and holding a silver staff made of the same material as the holy sword that emitted a faint golden glow.

Standing there, she was like a goddess descended to earth.

Rosalyn Meredith, the fourth member of Team Goddess Blade.

In terms of physical fitness alone, she may be weaker than Aize.

However, as a priest-type hero, he possesses a large number of recovery, control release, purification, and strengthening skills. In team battles, he can even buff an entire army. He is a very powerful and versatile auxiliary role.

That's why she was considered the biggest threat by Villian in this battle.

Soon after the battle began, she was attacked by a large number of long-range spells, becoming the most seriously injured person besides Aize and was in a coma for more than two days.

Leah and Rosaline had a pretty good relationship, and seeing her coming, her anger subsided a lot.

But he still shouted at Constantine fiercely:

"roll!!!"

Constantine did not hesitate and quickly left the tent.

Leah sighed and casually took the top document. While flipping through it, she said to Rosaline, who was sitting across from her:

"You were still unconscious when I went to see you this morning. How is your injury?"

Rosalyn smiled and nodded.

"It's okay now. I actually woke up this afternoon, but seeing so many injured soldiers, I couldn't bear to abandon them, so I've been treating them. That's why I only came now. Don't blame me."

"What's the big deal? It's just a hero's job."

As she spoke, Leah began to get annoyed again and shook her head in displeasure.

"If only some piece of shit could be like you."

Chapter 33 Workaholic

Rosalyn glanced at Leah, put her cane aside, and took a document to help with it.

"Xiao Ya, I just heard from the soldiers that Xiao Ai has left the team. Is that true?"

"real."

Leah held her head up, looking listless, and her answer seemed nonchalant, as if it was a trivial matter not worth mentioning.

"Why? What happened?"

"That idiot's plan was full of loopholes, and he's left the Order in this mess. And yet he still refuses to admit it—I'm expelling him."

"Xiaoya, you can't do this."

There was a hint of blame in Rosalyn's tone, but the smile on her face did not change at all, and it was still so kind and sacred.

"No matter what mistakes Xiao Ai made, he is our companion and one of the Goddess's chosen ones and followers. How can you make decisions on behalf of the Goddess?"

If someone else dared to say such words to Leah, being yelled at would be a piece of cake. It is not impossible that they would be knocked down by a punch and sent to the hospital on the spot.

But in front of Rosaline, Leah was unusually docile and could not get angry at all.

After being told this, he just curled his lips and complained slightly:

"I've given him the chance to admit his mistake, twice, but he still doesn't appreciate it. What do you want me to do? I can't admit my mistake to him, can I?"

Just thinking about it made Leia's stomach churn and she felt so nauseous that she wanted to vomit.

"Xiao Ya, what you said is wrong. Only the goddess has the right to judge whether it is a mistake or not. Even if you want to kick him out, you should report it to the goddess first, right?"

"...Such nonsense! If we have to report every single piece of that kind of crap to the Goddess before she can make a decision, what else does the Goddess need us for?"

Seeing her like this, Rosalyn pondered for a moment and tilted her head as if troubled.

"Xiao Ya, I heard that Xiao Ai was seriously injured when he left, right?"

"Tsk, those profiteers actually chose a time like this to raise prices. They really should be sent to the Inquisition and burned alive! And that loser too, wouldn't it be better to get rid of such scum sooner rather than later? They've been around until now, causing me trouble..."

Leah was gritting her teeth as she looked at the list of supplies from the Chamber of Commerce, and did not hear Vivian's words immediately.

"Xiaoya!"

"...Huh? Injured? Yeah, he was injured. That idiot ruined the protection bestowed upon him by the goddess."

"That's even worse, isn't it? As long as they are the goddess's subjects, they are all lambs that need to be redeemed. Even if Xiao Ai is no longer a hero, we should still protect his safety."

After saying this, Rosalyn clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and made a pious prayer gesture.

"Goddess, please protect the safety of your loyal warriors..."

“Enough is enough!”

Unable to bear it any longer, Leah threw the documents aside, stood up quickly, and scratched her hair randomly.

"He was the one who asked to leave first, why is it like it's my fault!"

Rosalyn opened her eyes and looked at Leah in disbelief. Her perfect smile finally faltered at this moment.

"...He wants to leave on his own? Xiao Ai?"

"Yes, are you satisfied now?"

In order to save her own face, Leah told everyone that she was the one who fired Aize.

But now he couldn't stand Rosalyn's nagging anymore, so he just went with the flow and told her what happened.

That's good, because it prevents that guy from being left dead in the wilderness and the church from blaming him.

"...I'm going to go on patrol. I'll leave this place to you for now."

After saying that, the irritated Leah walked out of the tent, leaving Rosaline sitting there alone.

The Priest Hero suddenly looked at the paper in front of him, shook his head, and muttered in disbelief:

"Xiao Ai... left on her own? That's impossible."

But soon, she returned to her original smile.

Being kind, holy, and perfect, even when no one else is around, has become her habit.

Then she said to herself in a kind tone:

"That won't do, Xiao Ai. Abandoning your master, abandoning the goddess' lamb, will be punished by heaven~"

------

The party organized by Sheen ended quite late. When Aize and Violet were sent back to the house, it was already the next day.

A lot of things happened and both of them were very tired, so they went back to their rooms early to sleep.

Villian, who was a little drunk, didn't wake up until noon, but——

Aize had been sitting in the study since someone had known about it, wearing glasses he had gotten from somewhere, and fiddling with the papers piled in front of him that was half a person's height.

"good afternoon."

Seeing Miss Witch coming in, Aize looked up and greeted her, but he did not stop what he was doing.

Violet rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"Noon...Okay, when did you get up?"

"Half past five."

"...We don't seem to be back until around one o'clock, right?"

"Yes, anyway, I slept until I woke up naturally, so I got up."

After thinking about it, Aize added:

"When I was in the team, I could only sleep two hours a day on average. More than four hours was enough for me."

"Uh……"

Aize's experiences in the past teams were much worse than the worst case scenario Villian imagined.
