"..."
"Hmm, I guess my explanation wasn't convincing enough." She said, caressing the bird's feather on her hat.
"Ah, I know! By the way, I am also the subordinate of my lord, which makes us associates. So that's normal to become friends...right?" She continued with sparkling eyes.
"..."
But seeing the confusion in their eyes, she frowns as if she no longer knows how to convince them.
The next moment, she returned to the sofa while murmuring in a discouraged voice.
"I give up; she complicates my mission more than I thought. I'm going to wait for this girl named Sabrina if I'm not mistaken."
"..."
'She doesn't have the slightest common sense, this girl. I think it will become more difficult to manage than this mysterious guy who constantly sticks us to the Basques.' Sylvia murmured while watching Heepha's actions with suspicion.
The reason she did not doubt Heepha's words was that she had the same mysteriously overpowered aura around her that forced her to be wary of her at first glance.
"Instead of staying with them, why wouldn't you come with me? These people are--
*Shut up! I've already had enough problems because of you. If it wasn't for my lord, I think you would already be in the afterlife.* She coldly and telepathically retorted these words before Serena ended her sentence.
"In short, what are you waiting for to leave here?" Seeing the dark expression on Serena and Heepha's, even if Sylvia did not hear what they were saying to each other, she could still guess that these two did not get along as well as she thought, hence her sudden request to prevent further problems.
"I'm going--
"Don't worry about her; I promise she won't do anything cumbersome to disrupt your daily life." Before Serena finished her remarks, Heepha interrupted her by discussing something irrelevant.
But Sylvia, who listened to her words, had a dark expression.
'So, you can also read my thoughts like this bastard, huh?!' Instead of addressing Heepha telepathically, she retorted these words in her thoughts to be sure of these hypotheses.
But seeing Heepha's inflexible expression, as if she had not heard her words, she had become even more confused.
*Stop talking nonsense... We are not going to stay here!*
Meanwhile, Heepha also ignores Serena's frustrated voice that resonated in her mind like podcasts.
"... Sigh, Serena is not a problem, but you, on the other hand, you are! I have no intention of leaving behind a person as suspicious as you on this planet." Sylvia retorted by indexing Heepha's slight silhouette.
"Huh? Is it me the problem? But why? I just said that I came in peace. It's not like I intend to burn everything as before, even if my hands itch with envy-- anyway, I'm quiet and will do my best to act like you all." She explained herself by seeing Sylvia's blatant intentions, who did not want her on their planet.
"..."
"... Come on!" She continued while finally looking at Linn, who had her eyebrows contracted.
'I can't see through this girl's power despite the fact that I am now reached a primordial intermediary tier. How does a little girl like her manage to contain such power? She's like our little librarian; small but still scary.' She whispers while continuing her observation.
"... How am I even supposed to believe you to begin with? As long as you are with this woman, you'll never be welcome! For the last time, leave this planet if you don't want to leave away by force!" She retorted with decisive eyes that attested to her seriousness.
"..."
The second after, her emerald green eyes turned slightly to bloodthirsty reds with rage when she heard Sylvia order her.
But the next moment, remembering the reason for her presence, she sighed sadly.
"... Sigh, it's a shame. However, I wanted to stay with you a little to get to know each other." She said while looking at Serena.
"But since I'm a problem because I'm with you, then I have a better idea to solve this little problem." She continued in a rock voice.
"??" While Sylvia and two others wondered what she still had behind her head, she appeared in front of Serena with her little stick.
"?? What do you plan to do now?" Serena asked while frowning after noticing this cruel smile on Heepha's lips.
"You still don't guess? Friends must sacrifice themselves for the good of the other. That's why you must be the sacrifice to ensure our friendship." While retorting these words that left them in a dazzling ?state, her body ignited in golden flames!
-Swhhh!!
-?!
Despite her incredulous surprise, Serena regained her spirits in time and avoided by a millimeter, Heepha's golden spear that split the air towards her!
But before her spear reaches the wall behind Serena, she instantly cancels it, transforming it into an orb of golden flame that comes toward her.
"?? What's the world are you doing?!" Instead of Serena, it was rather Sylvie who asked this question with incredulous eyes.
"Hm? Isn't it obvious? Since it's because of her that you do not trust me, I'll burn her to nothing and solve this situation." She stopped after hearing Sylvia's high-pitched tone.
"?! - No! You can't!"
"Why?"
"Huh?!"
"Why can't I? Is it wrong to want to get rid of her for my own good? She isn't your enemy?" She continued seeing Sylvia's confusion and the others gradually increase.
"I'd never have believed that such a person could exist." Linn murmured next to Sylvia.
Meanwhile, Serena herself was so surprised that she couldn't pronounce any sentence even if she wanted to.
Sylvia, for her part, did not let herself be frozen by her astonishment. Seeing Heepha target Serena's heart core with her strange spear, she knew she was not joking. fr eewebn ovel.com
And that was precisely what made her more bitter in her heart.
"No, isn't she supposed to be your friend? If this is how you treat your allies, then why the hell will I let you stay here?!" She justifies her intervention with this excuse.
'Even if this whore is better dead than alive, I can't disobey the leader's orders who strictly forbade us to harm her. I don't know what she's hiding, but she seems to know more than what she told us about Serena's betrayal.' She continued in her thoughts.
"... It's getting more and more complicated there. I can't stay there because this girl met me rather than you, even though I originally came to meet my lord's subordinates. And now, when I try to kill her to solve problems and misunderstandings, you tell me I can't. What do you want in the end?" Heepha casually asks after hearing Sylvia's thoughts.
"..."
'What did I do to deserve such punishment?!' Sylvia wondered after listening to Heepha's protesters.
*Listen, I think the best thing is to leave her alone.* Linn says this request when she sees Sylvia and Serena's expressions.
*Impossible! She's like Serena! She did not hesitate to attack her even though she seemed so close to her a few seconds ago. According to her actions, I would even say that she's worse than Serena. In addition to being powerful and suspicious, she does not have the slightest common sense. I will never accept having another troublemaker that I have to watch h24!* She replied without looking at Linn.
*... By the way, what worries you is not the problem she is likely to cause but having extra work.*
*...Whatever my reasons, they're reasonable, unlike her, who says that she's my master's subordinate when she is not accompanied by any of those I know. Imagine for a second this decision's disaster if she has malicious intentions!
-We have just prevented invaders on this planet. The mysterious appearance of Serena, who said she came to look for this girl who refuses to follow her, is also suspicious.
*...*
*I'm not stupid not to know that they are not close. If Serena really had the assurance of forcing her, do you think she would waste her time trying to convince her?!* She added, noticing Linn's silence, who no longer seemed to have strong enough arguments to convince her.
As usual, their conversations were quick and only took about a second because of the spiritual bond they used to exchange.
Heepha, for her part, nods with an understanding air after listening to everything they had just said to each other.
"You want proof, so tell me who you want me to call to convince you. Unfortunately, Shad- Dalvine is on a mission, so he can't come and whitewash me." She asked suddenly, making Serena even more confused, not knowing what she was discussing with them.
But seeing the dark expressions of others, she understood something.
'Could it be that this creature is also under the orders of this bastard? From everything I have seen and heard so far, she seems to know more about them than I think. In addition to being close, even more, potent than our goddess's monarchs, she's also closer to this bastard than I thought.
-It becomes complicated if she becomes their ally. At this train, the balance will break, and these bastards of the monarchs will risk acting at our disadvantage to help the leaders. My ultimate sacrifice would be useless if it happens!' She said to herself with sweaty hands, just thinking about the worst.
"... Sigh, made as you see fit." Sylvia retorted as she went out into the living room.
"...Huh? Does this mean that she finally leaves me alone? It wasn't very early. We succeeded!" She commented, looking at Serena with an innocent smile as if she didn't try to kill her.
"..."
The latter remained silent by hearing Heepha's words and seeing Linn sit on one of the sofas instead of following Sylvia.
"Don't get tired; she didn't doubt your identity. She simply didn't want to have enough of the additional tasks." Linn spoke out loud for the second time.
"Hm? So, if you stay here, does that mean you will keep an eye on me in her place?"
"Sigh, I have nothing else to do anyway. So she gives me the painful stains." Linn continued sadly.
Hearing her words, Heepha had her eyes wide open.
"Linn, you are what we call a real friend! You sacrificed your peacefulness just to do it a favor. I would sincerely like to count you among my friends!"
"No! I will never become close to someone as foolish as you with no common sense! And stop reading my thoughts!"
"Huh?! Why?!"
"I just told you the reason."
"Yes, but it's absurd!" fre(e)webnovel.com
"~~~"
"~~!"
Meanwhile, Serena, who was ignored by two to the point of being invisible in the living room, also sits down while murmuring for herself...
"I'm tired of all this. I can only hope that Sabrina will manage this situation." She retorted with complex eyes.
"...What do you mean?" Linn frowns when she hears her words.
"Sigh, you may not have noticed it yet, but the gathering of leaders is for today!"
"What? But it's at least ten years ahead!" She froze on the spot when she heard Serena's statements.
The latter stares at her like an idiot when she sees her surprise.
"On which planet do you live before coming here? I thought Sabrina had run away from me because she had to go there urgently?" She asked confusedly.
"No, she just said she had to go where she found Alvine for the first-- ahh, what an idiot I'm doing! It's sure this planet that she had also found Alvine!" She said with an ironic smile.
"But why did she tell Sylvia that she had to go there to learn more about Alvine's identity?" She continued while frowning with her excessive curiosity.
"You don't have to ask me this question. But according to Sylvie's agitation, I can already guess that this boring meeting will not be like the previous times. It seems that everything is ready for the return of our goddess!"
"?!"
'... Hm? This bitch will finally wake up?!' Heepha wondered with an ironic smile on her lips, finally guessing Dalvine's bold intentions.
