Chapter 72

 

I asked him with a smile.

 

“Bishop, are you injured anywhere?”

 

He nodded while sniffling. Then I saw what he was carefully holding in his arms.

 

It was a familiar bag.

 

“Huh? This…?”

 

It seemed to be the cross bag I had been looking for.

 

“Ah, this is Young Lady’s bag. I picked it up. I thought something might have happened to Young Lady…”

 

Archbishop Luzef’s eyes were red and swollen as he suddenly glared at me fiercely.

 

“Try worrying me like this one more time.”

 

He grumbled continuously like a cranky cat as he handed me the bag.

 

“I’m sorry for worrying you.”

 

Though it wasn’t my intention, of course.

 

“Bishop!”

 

Yuanna Lucy, who had been watching the situation from afar, came running over. She examined Archbishop Luzef’s complexion and looked around at us.

 

“Is everyone okay? Lady Flone, I knew you’d be safe.”

 

She took both my hands and let out a sigh.

 

“Are you alright, Saint?”

 

I asked while examining Yuanna Lucy’s complexion. Fortunately, she didn’t seem to be injured anywhere.

 

“Oh my, don’t worry about me. I’m fast on my feet and good at hiding, so I’m fine.”

 

Yuanna Lucy placed her hand on her waist and laughed cheerfully as if it was nothing.

 

“What on earth happened here?”

 

“Before that, we need to hear an explanation from Young Lady about what happened.”

 

At the Prince of Asdal’s question, I thought carefully. It would be a long story to answer here.

 

And then my dress pocket wriggled.

 

“Ah, right. Eun-ji…!”

 

She had been so quiet in my pocket that I momentarily forgot.

 

“…Young Lady? What is this? Ah!”

 

Yuanna Lucy looked at my dress pocket with a puzzled face, then screamed when she made eye contact with Eun-ji, who poked her head out.

 

Eun-ji was startled and quickly hid her head back inside the dress pocket.

 

The Prince of Asdal and Diego Bastian Vilterheim drew their swords and pointed them at me, while Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid blocked my front and pointed his sword back at them.

 

“Move aside, Half-Emperor. I’ve been wanting to ask what that thing is since earlier. It seems like some unknown magical beast.”

 

“Whether it’s a magical beast or whatever, I cannot tolerate pointing swords at Margaret.”

 

“I agree with that. You’re scaring Margaret. Put away your swords, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Diego Bastian Vilterheim.”

 

I looked at them with a flustered face, then placed Eun-ji on my palm and showed her to them.

 

“It’s a bit of a long story to explain how I met her…”

 

Eun-ji curled up on my palm, then only rolled her eyes to gauge the mood around her.

 

Such a timid little thing.

 

At that moment, Yuanna leisurely walked over, bowed her head, and carefully examined Eun-ji.

 

“Looking closely, she’s cute.”

 

“Hey, Saint. It’s dangerous.”

 

“Saint. Please step back.”

 

Prince of Asdal and Diego spoke to Yuanna simultaneously, but she just shrugged her shoulders indifferently.

 

Perhaps knowing she wasn’t being aggressive toward her, Eun-ji rolled her eyes and looked around cautiously before pushing her head toward Yuanna’s palm, acting cute.

 

“Oh my?”

 

Yuanna’s eyes curved beautifully as if she found it adorable. But soon she stepped back with an annoyed expression at Diego’s repeated warnings.

 

“First, Eun-ji, say hello.”

 

Of course, half of my words telling her to greet them were a joke. However, once again seeming to understand my words, she looked around at everyone present.

 

Then she cutely tilted her head, glanced up at me, and wagged her tail. Her eyes seemed to be saying ‘Really greet them?’

 

“She’s like a puppy.”

 

Yuanna said that and laughed.

 

At that moment, Eun-ji looked at Prince of Asdal and Diego who were pointing sharp swords at her, then opened her mouth wide.

 

Soon, a small fire about the size of a fist shot out from Eun-ji’s mouth.

 

‘Huh?’

 

Prince of Asdal and Diego stepped back hastily with surprised faces. Fortunately, it wasn’t a large enough fire to reach them.

 

It seemed Eun-ji didn’t like Prince of Asdal and Diego who had been threatening her the whole time.

 

Everyone looked at me. I looked down at Eun-ji while receiving their piercing gazes.

 

Eun-ji looked at me with bright, sparkling eyes as if saying ‘I did well, right?’

 

“Eun-ji. You didn’t tell me you could breathe fire too. And how is that a greeting?”

 

It seemed I needed to properly provide early education.

 

* * *

 

We decided to first deal with the monster corpses, then return to the cabin to continue discussing what had happened.

 

If we didn’t completely dispose of the monster corpses before leaving, other magical beasts might swarm here.

 

“Ugh. The texture is so gross.”

 

I was carrying the spider’s fluffy legs when I finally sat down on the ground.

 

“Young Lady, hang in there.”

 

Yuanna was annoyingly sitting on a tree, leisurely watching us work.

 

“Excuse me, Saint. Could you help us?”

 

“I have a weak stomach.”

 

I was so dumbfounded that I let out a hollow laugh. Right. That’s the kind of person you were.

 

She wasn’t the type to cause trouble for others, but she also wasn’t the type to be helpful.

 

Then Kaiden easily lifted a giant spider with his hands, slung it over his shoulder, and looked at me.

 

“Margaret, you should rest over there too. We’re enough to handle this.”

 

“I see. Looking at you, I don’t need to worry.”

 

At my response, Kaiden smiled with a triumphant expression.

 

“Still, I want to finish quickly, so I’ll help.”

 

I said that while lifting and moving the severed spider legs with all my strength.

 

When we piled the monster corpses in a large clearing without trees, Eun-ji breathed fire in front of them. It was enough that we didn’t need a separate lighter.

 

I was wiping the beads of sweat on my forehead and struggling to move the spider legs when suddenly the weight of the spider legs became lighter.

 

I looked up in surprise to see Yuanna lifting the spider legs together from the opposite side.

 

When I looked at her with a puzzled expression, she smiled brightly.

 

“I remembered what the Young Lady said.”

 

“What I said?”

 

“About showing respect and consideration.”

 

She moved in sync with me, carrying the spider. I couldn’t figure out what she was thinking at all, so I furrowed my brow.

 

“If I do this, will the Young Lady become my person?”

 

No, excuse me, Female Lead. When did serving progress to becoming my person?

 

“I do want to have something like that. My people who care for me. I’m tired of just being used for someone else’s benefit.”

 

She said something unexpected.

 

“Used?”

 

“Ah. I mean those bastards from the Papal Court. I didn’t become a saint because I wanted to. I was threatened with my family’s livelihood.”

 

It was an unexpected story. I fell silent, unable to find appropriate words in response to the Papal Court’s cruelty. So that’s what happened.

 

“Ah. I envy the Young Lady. You can live more happily when you return.”

 

Yuanna dusted off her hands and looked at me with envious eyes.

 

‘When I return, I’ll live more happily… I’ll have to live as Margaret. I’m Margaret now.’

 

My heart becomes a little troubled.

 

“I was half serious about serving you. I was amazed that a noble Young Lady born with a golden spoon, contrary to rumors, doesn’t avoid dirty work and handles it skillfully. So I wanted to tease you a bit too. I have a strange personality.”

 

“Yes. You do seem strange. You think however is convenient for you.”

 

“Ahahaha. Aren’t humans naturally narrow-minded, only thinking within the scope of their own experiences? The Young Lady really is interesting.”

 

I really don’t know what Yuanna is thinking.

 

Meanwhile, we arrived at the clearing. We threw the spider legs we were carrying onto the pile of monster corpses where Eun-ji was breathing fire.

 

I looked at Yuanna in shock as she laughed and patted my shoulder, then quietly moved away from her. And I continued to focus on helping Archbishop Luzef and others move the monster corpses.

 

Before we knew it, we had cleared away all the monster corpses and the sun was setting.

 

Eun-ji obediently went into my dress pocket. I patted the pocket gently and picked up the cross bag I had briefly set down on the ground.

 

Since the cross bag’s string had broken, I couldn’t wear the bag. In the end, I held the bag in my arms and glanced at Enoch.

 

“Has everyone eaten?”

 

“Do you think we have?”

 

The Prince of Asdal, who was following behind with a tired face, answered my question. I looked at his haggard appearance and quietly nodded.

 

“No. I don’t think you have.”

 

For now, Kaiden and I seem to be in the best shape among us, so the two of us should go hunting. I don’t know why we two, who suffered outside, are in better condition.

 

We should eat meat today. I guess I’ll have to make traps as soon as we return to the cabin.

 

* * *

 

After walking for a long time, we finally returned to the cabin.

 

“Ugh.”

 

Enoch let out a pained groan as he entered the cabin and sat down.

 

It seemed like he had been enduring it the entire way here, but now that we’d reached our dwelling, it appeared he could no longer bear the pain.

 

When I signaled to Luzef with my eyes, he brought over the first aid kit.

 

Since no one had been injured before, we’d never had occasion to use the first aid kit, so Yuanna, the Prince of Asdal, and Diego looked at the medicine bottle with puzzled expressions.

 

I took out bandages and medicine to prepare for treating Enoch’s wounds. The bandages I had used to treat Kaiden last time were in good condition, having been thoroughly washed and dried.

 

‘Since we don’t have many bandages…’

 

It was best to reuse whatever we could to the maximum extent possible.

 

“Enoch.”

 

I called out to Enoch, who was lying half-conscious on his bedding. He slowly opened his eyes, his face contorted with pain and suffering.

 

I gently placed my hand on his cheek. His body was burning hot.
