Blessing Of Yuri Goddess-Chapter 371 - 79 - An Evaluation*

[ Author Note: I am sure, I become lazy lately when seeing my locked Chapter became free on another sites. Sorry about that... When I lazy update or though for drop this novel. ]

The unequal battle between Knight Marquess Rommel, aided by a pair of wild chickens that mutated into wild monsters, and against a flock of dragons ended in a victory.

The wide field that had been became a temporary resting place in the dense forest was now filled with piles of cold snow, and the Shrine Maiden outfit I was wearing felt cold.

My breath also brought up thick trails of cold steam and made me smile sarcastically after seeing the piles of snow in spring.

"Snow in spring, isn’t it so cute?" I said to my twin sisters and Mio.

In response to my question, the three of them looked at each other before answering.

"I don’t know if this is cute or scary, Lily-sama," Mio said in a weak tone after seeing the pile of snow in spring.

"Onee-sama... this is too much. But I like it!" shouted Alice, who didn’t seem to mind about this.

"Lily-nee... I don’t need to comment on your brilliant decision. This snow won’t harm this vast forest... so relax!" said Alyssa, who seemed to support my actions.

My twin sister and Mio seemed to have different views on the Freeze magic attack I had performed.

At least, it has made this sudden battle a victory for the knight of Marquess Rommel, who was assisted by a pair of wild chickens that had mutated into wild monsters.

Through the orders I gave earlier, several Knights began using their swords to stab and skin the dragons alive while they were weakened after being hit by the Freeze attack that broke their dragon scales.

I didn’t expect this tactic to work in one try, even though it was the first time I had done something like this, based on my experience of breaking a cup of tea out of curiosity about the words written by the Great Heroes of the past.

"With a response like this, I can assume this is a pretty normal thing to do..." I said in a happy tone after seeing the mediocre response to this decision of mine.

Peeling off dragon scales is no easy feat. It requires special skills to remove the scales that grow inside the skin. Just as hair grows inside human skin, dragon scales grow inside the skin as well.

Technically, it would look a lot like forcibly pulling out a human’s nails due to the thickness of the dragon’s scales.

Kiiieeekkk!!

Roooooar!! 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Some dragon flocks still survive, but are in a dying phase.

I did give the order to skin this pack of dragons alive, but the Knights of Marquess Rommel were kind enough to kill them so as not to torture the tamer who was controlling this flock of dragons.

They were too gentle to use torture, and only a few knights followed my orders.

"Oh, there are only a few dragons left alive and dying. Should I participate in the torture—I mean, the process of surviving and fighting back against the dragons’ attacks by having them pluck their hard scales off alive?" I said, correcting my almost-misplaced sentence.

"Onee-sama, you’re almost honest with your own feelings," said Alice, who had heard what I said earlier.

"Hmm? What did I say just now?"

"Onee-sama... well... I agree with that too. Let’s do some torture— I mean, the process of surviving this dragon flock attack, Onee-sama!" Alice said as she cast three magic circles that formed fire arrows at all the surviving dragon flocks.

Wooosshh!!

Wooosshh!!

With a large burst of fire, I saw Alice’s face smiling happily at this.

"I don’t want to regret not having fun in the torture— I mean... the process of surviving the attack of this dragon flock!" Alice continued as she released the fire arrow she had been chanting.

Now I understand what I said before, and it was well said by Alice.

Wait a moment...

Is it true... I am being honest?

Ugh, was I too honest before?

I didn’t show myself openly wanting to torture a tamer who was controlling this flock of dragons, did I?

But, my previous order was clearly intended to torture...

Stuudd...

Stuudd...

While I was thinking about something important in my head, my arm was pulled by Alyssa, who seemed to want to say something to me.

"Lily-nee, with these dragon scales that have been burned to became a charcoal, can we harvest them to use as a backup... to replace our charcoal and firewood?" said Alyssa, proposing a way to utilize the burned dragon scales to make them as backup charcoal.

"Is that... still usable?" I asked to confirm this before giving further instructions regarding Alyssa’s proposal.

"As far as I’ve learned from Mama, burning dragon scales to became a charcoal has a much longer burning efficiency compared to using charcoal and firewood. With this many dragons, I feel it would be a waste if they weren’t utilized to their full potential in this military expedition," Alyssa said while explaining the great potential of the burn efficiency used for cooking.

"If that were possible, we would harvest the dragon scales that have been burned and cracked by the cold. If they are still useful, we can use them without hesitation. After all... they were the ones who started the attack and we just defend ourself. Its our victory loots!"

"I agree with that, Lily-nee."

"I leave this to you, Alyssa."

"Uun~ leave it to me!" said Alyssa happily.

Wooossshh!!

Wooosshh!!

Kiiiieeerrrr!!

Kiiiieeee!!

[ Author Note: Whoever using my novel on free website, please don’t be like that. I still want to make this novel until Ending. ]

While I was talking to Alyssa, some of the surviving dragons were executed by Alice’s magic attack, by casting fire arrows that were released to pierce the dragons that were still controlled by the tamers.

As the dragon screamed in pain, I saw a wide smile on Alice’s face, filled with delight. Her magic circle formation also accelerated, producing fiery arrows ready to be released at any moment.

"What poor dragons, I feel sorry for you who are dying slowly. If only you were dead, then you wouldn’t feel this torture—this pain," said Alice with her face filled with smiles and black shadows.

My body shivered after seeing Alice’s facial expression and muttered, "I’m not training Alice to get used to doing this, am I?"

"Lily-nee... It’s too late," said Alyssa, denying this.

"Yes, Lily-sama. It’s too late," Mio chimed in, agreeing with Alyssa’s words.

"Uhh... huh?" I just responded to this by tilting my head.

Kiiieeekkk!!

Kiiiieeee...

As the screams of pain from the dragons’ voices faded, I could feel a real sense of victory after previously ending with only a few dragons still dying.

Living and dying...

For me, it’s still categorized as alive...

That wky... I am thinking about skinning them alive...

Unfortunately, some of Marquess Rommel’s knights still felt sorry for the tamer who was controlling the dragon flock, which why, they will get military sanctions.

I glanced at one of the military officers who had not participated in this short battle and gave instructions to spread the word about my disappointment at the actions of some knights who had not obeyed my previous orders.

Tap...

Tap...

With relaxed footsteps, I immediately approached one of the military officers and spoke to her.

"Please inform all of Marquess Rommel’s knights participating in the military expedition that I am disappointed in the actions of some knights who disobeyed my previous orders. You know what I mean, right?" I said to one of the military officers standing in front of me.

"With all due respect, Matriach Lily-sama. They are still not used to the torture order. Although their bodies and minds have been trained in previous training, they still have a reluctance to torture someone," replied my military officer in a respectful tone.

"That will be a problem in the future," I quickly replied.

"Pardon?" The military officer standing in front of me looked confused by my answer.

"I have a feelings... The nobles... who will be our opponents in the noble war season have made their first moves using a flock of dragons like this. Their goal is undoubtedly to attack Marquess Rommel’s main forces from behind the scenes, before the noble war season begins. I can assume this is the first moves from behind the scenes."

Honestly, I’m just talking nonsense about this.

There are too many factors to consider in this matter, and one of them is the heretical sect that has been operating in this dense forest.

The issue regarding the Tree of Life being tainted by a fake, cursed weapon has supported the involvement of a heretical sect operating in this dense forest.

"T-This is... a behind-the-scenes attack before the war season between the nobles begins?" said the military officer, in disbelief.

"Do you think... this flock of controlled dragons is just a joke?" I replied, pressure my military officer to open her eyes wide.

"You’re not stupid enough to not realize this, are you?" I continued, smiling coldly at her.

It’s been a long time since I used a cold smile to pressure someone, and I have to use this cold smile again just to punish all of Marquess Rommel’s knights who didn’t carry out my orders.

It’s a shame, but I have to do this to show my position as a Matriarch and the leader of this military expedition.

Glare...

Glare...

My cold smile matched the sharp glare I gave to the military officer. Her body trembled as she realized that this military sanction was necessary after considering my previous decision.

"With all due respect, Matriach Lily-sama. You are correct... I will immediately impose sanctions for what happened earlier," she said after realizing my intention for imposing these military sanctions.

"Don’t take this too seriously. Just think of it as a small warning to them and to make them aware of the position of the Marquess Rommel family, which has many enemies on all sides of its territory," I said, while giving leniency to this military sanction.

Realizing the leniency I had given to knights of Marquess Rommel, the military officer in front of me immediately lowered her head and saluted me by bowing her body.

"Thank you for your leniency, Matriach Lily-sama."

"Yes, I hope this will be an effective learning experience for you guys."

After bowing to me, the military officer in front of me immediately carried out her duties and wrote several military reports regarding the results of today’s battle to be distributed to each Military Division.

The report about my disappointment was also written down nicely before he went to share the results of today’s battle.

"I hope... this will make a improvement in the future," I muttered as I glanced at my twin sisters, who were playing with the dragon carcass.

"Lily-sama, are you tired after this short battle?" asked Mio, who suddenly appeared beside me.

"I’m not tired... because I’m not fighting, Mio."

"Ehehe... I know. Just to fill the space after this fight... By the way, I received a report from the Black Maid Unit, who are Alice-sama and Alyssa-sama’s military aides, regarding this flock of dragons being controlled, Lily-sama."

"Hmm... reports about this dragon flock?"

"Yes, the report I received from the Black Maid Unit is that these dragons are from one of the noble families and foolishly left their noble family’s mark on the dragon scales. I’m sure... Lily-sama is aware of this noble family," Mio said while showing the dragon scale engraved with the Aurora Kingdom’s noble family’s crest.

The moment I saw the family crest, that was when my head started spinning with this troubled noble family.

Not only do they have a reincarnator from another world, but they have also allied themselves with a heretical cult that is causing Princess Anastasia a lot of trouble.

"Oh my Goddess..."

"What kind of fate have you given me..." I muttered in a weak tone after finding another problem.

Of all the troubles going on right now, why does it have to do with a noble family and a troublesome cult?

I want to relax for a while while this military expedition is taking place, you know!

"Um, is something wrong, Lily-sama?" Mio asked, looking worried after showing me the dragon scales engraved with the noble family’s crest.

"I just think... they’re stupid enough to attack us openly like this, Mio."

"U-Uumm, what does that mean?" Mio asked with a questioning face, Who didn’t understand this.

"Don’t make me think too much about this, Mio. I don’t want to think about the stupidity of those who left such clear evidence."

Mio immediately gave me, the dragon scales that had the engraving of this troubled noble family.

The political situation is heating up due to small conflicts, slowly getting bigger, and it will explode when the war season between nobles takes place.

With the dragon flock attacking like this, I whispered to Mio to convey my message to the Black Maid Unit.

"Mio, convey this message to the Black Maid Unit, who on duty. Gather evidence like this to explain to all of Marquess Rommel’s knights participating in the military expedition."

"I want all of Marquess Rommel’s knights who are participating in this military expedition to act more maturely in accepting orders from me..."
