《Kyrie Side》
ㅤ
I came to the Beast Kin nation of Nelogoma.
It was because Princess Minuet’s Okaa-san, was critically ill with a disease called Crystalline Disease.
ㅤ
Through the power of God, the disease was cured beautifully.
ㅤ
“Thank you, Celestial Guidance Saint-sama. I apologize for the late greeting.”
ㅤ
The Queen lowers her head as she steps down from the bed.
ㅤ
“I am Nelogoma’s Queen, Mainecoon.”
ㅤ
Mainecoon-sama bowed her head before me.
Your Majesty, please don’t bow to someone like me; it is too much.
“No, you are a lifesaver. It’s only natural to thank you properly.”
ㅤ
A lifesaver. . . . . .No, that’s a mistake.
ㅤ
“A mistake?”
ㅤ
Yes.
You survived because Mainecoon-sama’s deeds were good.
ㅤ
God want to say this:
You must still live. . . . . .
ㅤ
So God healed you.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .Is that so?”
ㅤ
Yes, there’s no mistake.
ㅤ
“I feel like I was healed by you, though. . . . . .”
“Okaa-sama, Kyrie-sama is a bit different from ordinary people.”
“I see. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Certainly, I am a saint, and I am different from ordinary people.
ㅤ
“How strange. Your voice resonates directly in my head. With your amazing healing power, you’re like a god.”
ㅤ
Is that so!
How presumptuous!
ㅤ
I am nothing compared to God Noir.
ㅤ
“You don’t have to belittle yourself that much. . . . . .Anyway, thank you very much for saving me. I must thank you properly.”
ㅤ
No, there’s something else we must do first.
ㅤ
“What is it?”
ㅤ
Find the culprit.
ㅤ
“A culprit? What do you mean?”
ㅤ
I will narrate the episode of when Lady Minuet arrived in the Abyss Forest.
Lady Minuet’s life was targeted.
ㅤ
Moreover, the thieves acted as if they knew the princess was coming.
ㅤ
“I see. . . . . .that’s indeed unnatural. There may be those inside the castle who would benefit from the queen’s death. They might be pulling the strings. . . . . .right?”
ㅤ
Exactly as Your Majesty says.
I suspect the enemy is close by.
ㅤ
“That can’t be. . . . . .”
ㅤ
The Queen is at a loss for words.
I understand her feelings.
ㅤ
It’s hard to believe that there is a traitor among your subordinates.
But it is a fact that Lady Minuet’s life was targeted.
ㅤ
If Lady Minuet had died, and I had arrived late, Nelogoma’s Queen, Mainecoon-sama, would have died.
ㅤ
“That’s true. . . . . .as long as that fact exists, we can’t deny the possibility of a traitor.”
“If that’s true, it’s a big problem! They may target Okaa-sama’s life again!”
ㅤ
Yes, so we must urgently identify the traitor.
ㅤ
“I’m at a loss, but you seem to have a good plan, Saint Kyrie.”
ㅤ
Yes.
I thought of this method when I saved Lady Minuet earlier.
ㅤ
“What method?”
ㅤ
I will explain the outline briefly.
Both are surprised but nod in understanding.
ㅤ
“It seems worth trying.”
“Okaa-sama! Let’s gather the people of the castle right away!”
ㅤ
After a while,
Queen Mainecoon makes her appearance in the audience chamber.
ㅤ
Including ministers, the castle’s important figures are gathered.
I think the culprit is among them.
ㅤ
“Your Majesty! I’m glad you’re safe!”
ㅤ
A man appears before Mainecoon-sama.
With luxurious attire and a slightly malicious look on his face.
ㅤ
Who is he?
Lady Minuet answers for me.
ㅤ
.”. . . . . . . . . . .『Warikko』 is the Finance Minister. In the hierarchy of the castle, he’s a high-ranking minister.”
ㅤ
I see. . . . . .he’s the Finance Minister after all.
He seems to have considerable power.
ㅤ
“But what’s going on, Your Majesty? Have you gathered us suddenly for a celebration party?”
ㅤ
A celebration party?
You’re so carefree, Minister Warikko.
ㅤ
“No, Warikko. . . . . . .There is a traitor among us, plotting my assassination. I’m going to flush that person out now.”
ㅤ
Rustle. . . . . .rustle. . . . . .a large number of ministers and soldiers start to murmur.
That’s only natural.
ㅤ
A traitor.
Knowing that such a person is present, it would be strange to remain calm.
ㅤ
“Heh, Your Majesty. . . . . .! What are you talking about? Assassination? Traitor? There’s no way such a thing. . . . . .”
“No, Warikko. It’s true. In fact, Minuet, who went to fetch the saint, almost got assassinated.”
“R, Really. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Huh?
That Warikko, he’s staring at me.
ㅤ
With an evil smile, he points at me and speaks loudly.
ㅤ
“The answer is simple! That woman over there is the culprit!”
ㅤ
. . . . . .How did he come to that conclusion?
ㅤ
“That woman there! You’re a human! How did you get to this country? You have proper entry permission, don’t you?”
ㅤ
Uh. . . . . .I don’t have such a thing.
I flew here by the power of God.
ㅤ
“You don’t seem to have it, huh. Look, Your Majesty, she’s the culprit.”
“. . . . . .Warikko. Be quiet for a moment. Now, the saint-sama will identify the criminal.”
“Huh? But that wench is the culprit, right?”
ㅤ
Mainecoon-sama looks at me and nods.
It seems she believes in my way.
ㅤ
They firmly believe that I am not the culprit.
I’m happy.
ㅤ
Such a gentle and good-hearted queen, and someone dares to kill her. . . . . .
I’ll pass judgment on their behalf.
ㅤ
I raise my right hand.
God, please give me strength.
ㅤ
Crack. . . . . .! A holy light spreads in the audience hall.
ㅤ
“What’s this, light. . . . . .? Is this some kind of trick. . . . . .?”
ㅤ
Warikko says.
Now, everything is ready.
ㅤ
Ahem. . . . . .
Everyone, can you hear me. . . . . .?
ㅤ
“””””?!”””””
ㅤ
Most of the people gathered were surprised.
Warikko is as usual.
ㅤ
. . . . . .Yeah, I’ve already figured out the culprit.
But let’s go through the motions anyway.
ㅤ
Everyone, I’m speaking to your hearts.
If you’re not the culprit, please raise your hands. . . . . .Thank you.
ㅤ
Thump. . . . . .!!!!!!!!!!
ㅤ
“What, what?! What’s with you people?! Raising your hands all of a sudden?!”
“It seems. . . . . .the culprit is you, Warikko.”
ㅤ
Mainecoon-sama glares at Minister Warikko.
Then, the knights immediately apprehend Warikko.
ㅤ
“W, What?! On what basis?!”
ㅤ
Princess Minuet steps forward to explain.
ㅤ
“Those who received saint-sama’s power can hear saint-sama’s inner voice.”
ㅤ
Yes. . . . . .that was the light of God.
ㅤ
Bathing in it allows telepathy to work.
. . . . . .However, there are exceptions.
ㅤ
“Saint-sama’s power will never work on evildoers! I have seen it. Even though the thieves received saint-sama’s power, they couldn’t hear Kyrie-sama’s voice!”
ㅤ
Remember what happened before we came here.
I healed Lady Minuet and her guards.
ㅤ
During that time, I became capable of communicating with them and sharing our hearts.
But I never could talk with the evil gray wolf bandits.
ㅤ
Then, I became convinced.
Only good beings can receive God’s miracles.
ㅤ
Evil beings cannot hear my voice.
So, among the people gathered here, those who cannot hear my voice. . . . . .are evil.
ㅤ
In other words.
ㅤ
“Warikko, you are the culprit.”
“. . . . . .D, Damn! It’s desperation time!”
ㅤ
Warikko, intending to struggle in vain, shakes off the knights and runs towards Mainecoon-sama.
ㅤ
A knife was clenched in that hand.
ㅤ
“Dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
ㅤ
I stand in front of Warikko.
ㅤ
“Out of the way, little girl! Fugaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
ㅤ
The moment the knife touched my body. . . . . .
Warikko was blown away.
ㅤ
Upon colliding with the ceiling. . . . . .there was a loud thud, and he fell down.
ㅤ
“H, How. . . . . .?”
ㅤ
It’s God’s barrier.
It protected Her Majesty the Queen from your evil intentions!
ㅤ
“Darn. . . . . .it. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Thump, Warikko the minister fainted.
Whew. . . . . .that settles it.
ㅤ
“Kyrie-sama. . . . . .!”
ㅤ
Lady Minuet hugs me.
Crying, she repeatedly thanks me, saying “Thank you!”
ㅤ
Mainecoon-sama also thanked me.
ㅤ
“You’ve saved my life twice, thank you so much. You are the savior of this country.”
ㅤ
What are you saying?
This is all thanks to God’s power.
ㅤ
“G, God. . . . . .?”
ㅤ
Yes, I am merely God’s agent.
Oh, God, thank you for lending me strength to bring peace to the world today. . . . . .
ㅤ
But the parent and child were dumbfounded.
I don’t understand.
