Blessing Of Yuri Goddess-Chapter 422 - 14 - Sometimes... It’s Nice To Be Calm
From inside the living room, I could see several unknown humans lying on the ground.
They weren’t lazing around or resting in someone’s front yard.
From their suspicious appearance and carrying sharp weapons, I could tell that they were not someone, who friendly enough to talk to.
The heated situation this afternoon would have escalated if only the Goddess of Destruction hadn’t stopped them through her divine punishment.
It makes me wonder, would there be anyone so foolish as to commit a crime or plan malicious intention in a sacred place, marked by a Goddess?
Even if there were such cunning humans, who can control their malicious intention like a calm demeanor, their cover would definitely be blown as soon as they set foot in the sacred territory of a Goddess.
That’s what happens to these people, those who don’t know anything and are trapped with an orders that must be carried out immediately.
I am aware of such work, and the Black Maid unit of Marquess Rommel often performs it under my father’s orders, just as these people, who were instructed to do something at Jeanne and Furina’s house.
The least likely outcome is destroying the household furniture as an act of terror, and the worst possible outcome is killing them both, which is unlikely impossible due Jeanne and Furina incredible sword skills. As former members of a heretical sect whose have high achievements, it make them earned the right to be given a mass-produced cursed weapon, Jeanne and Furina will undoubtedly fight back with all their might if fight happen on their home.
A fight between the two of them against the Assassins, ordered by a fat nobleman might have been enough to entertain my boredom in this afternoon. But once again, it would have to be thwarted by the divine punishment of the Goddess of Destruction. At least, I now understand how divine punishment works, which always watches over the sacred territory from any troublesome and misdeeds.
If that’s the case, I can’t prank Jeanne and Furina to steal some snacks at night alone, right?
Um, wait a minute...
That’s not going to happen because I’ll be right back to continue the military expedition after clearing up this ridiculous misunderstanding!
In the meantime, while waiting for Duchess Kaori to arrive, I had to treat these uninvited guests with some hospitality.
"Is it okay to let them live, Master?" Zoe asked after returning to her butterfly spirit form.
"Yes, it’s fine. I just don’t want to create any more problems for a Duchess who is working hard to rebuild her destroyed territory when the war between the nobles is approaching."
"This kind of matter would be considered a small matter for a Duchess, right? Let’s just kill or curse them..."
"I don’t know how you measure this as a small matter, Zoe. This kind of problem will develop into a pretty big one if it’s not resolved peacefully. Duchess Kaori has also sent several high-ranking adventurers to protect Marquess Rommel’s main territory, which has been emptied of its inhabitants. I don’t want to lose Duchess Kaori’s trust like that after I do something big... in a town that is the front line to defend against the plant monster attack," I said while talking at length about the potential problems that will develop if I do something that Duchess Kaori doesn’t like.
"I’m certain that the Duchess is unaware of this and is receiving false information from that fat man. I’ve seen the memories inside his head and am certain that the fat man will be continuously subjected to divine punishment from the Goddess of Destruction."
"Why are you so sure about this, Zoe?"
"Yes, I am sure of this because I feel a wave of divine magical energy moving towards this place."
Flaapp...
Flaapp...
Honestly, I didn’t understand Zoe’s words until the corner of my eye saw a golden light in the distance that seemed to be getting closer like a continuous lightning strike bolt.
I’m sure, I heard that the divine punishment from the Goddess of Destruction only serves to deter bad intentions and cripple criminal acts that would occur in her sacred territory.
However, what I saw was actually divine punishment aimed at attracting people’s attention with non-lethal holy lightning strikes bolt.
Brraakkk!!
"Um, my Monarch..."
"We have brought the guests as my Monarch ordered..."
The sound of Furina walking into the living room drew my attention to her. I immediately stood up from the sofa, intending to greet these uninvited guests.
I did a quick count and saw six mysterious guests trying to do something in this wooden house. As soon as I stood up from the sofa, I could feel the fear in their eyes, and I tried not to do anything that would inflame my emotions.
It seemed like they had already found out about my identity, so they embrace a stiff, silent attitude and did not fight back.
Momo, who had returned to her cursed Odachi form, flew around me, creating the illusion of a real threat to these mysterious guests.
My identity can be guessed easily...
I mean...
I always like this...
Light brown skin...
Long silver white hair...
My sharp red eyes...
As well as military uniforms showing the family crest of Marquess Rommel...
Just by looking at my appearance like this, they definitely know who they’re dealing with, right?
"I’m sure, I don’t need to introduce myself, right?" I said coldly, sounding like an arrogant noblewoman.
Basically, I am known as a noble girl who always caused trouble in the past, such as giving curses to all descendants of noble families and doing something related to the spirits who worshiped the Goddess Aurora, as well as being provoke fight with the contracted spirit of the fake Saintess.
If I think about it carefully, my childhood was actually filled with acts of violence and bullying, right?
[ The Goddess of Destruction: I’m actually surprised that you realized that in your current position, my beloved Monarch. ]
[ The Goddess of Destruction: Let the past be the past, also Furina doesn’t mind the curse you gave to her, right? ]
[ The Goddess of Destruction: She actually felt proud after receiving the curse from the Monarch of Holy Destruction. ]
[ The Goddess of Destruction: Just keep up, what you believe! ]
My past actions suddenly received comments from the Goddess of Destruction and made me feel embarrassed, because it was an action that did not show the etiquette of a graceful and elegant noble girl.
[ The Goddess of Destruction: Such things do not need to be done with grace and elegance. ]
[ The Goddess of Destruction: Being yourself and fighting back when being bullied by others is quite entertaining for us. ]
[ The Goddess of Destruction: By the way, several Goddesses already repeatedly watch your memory from the past. ]
[ The Goddess of Destruction: Keep the good work to teach them a lesson, my beloved Monarch! ]
"Hmm..." I mumbled and smiled in response to the Goddess of Destruction’s words.
For some reason, it also triggered a fearful reaction from these uninvited guests.
"I won’t do anything to you because I know you’ve been ordered to do something related to this house, right?" I said while still smiling and trying to be friendly to these troublesome guests.
"Just to short for my relaxed time after this, I will give you all the characteristics of the person who ordered you to do something in this house. Just nod your head for a yes answer and shake your head for a no answer. Do you all understand?" I continued asking the guests who had been dragged into the living room by Jeanne and Furina.
Without wasting any more time, I immediately asked a few questions I already knew the answers to.
But to be sure, I needed to conduct this little interrogation.
Tap...
Tap...
I walked towards one of the suspected Assassins and pulled down the hood on face.
Srrusshh...
"Hoouu... this is interesting," as I pulled one of the hoods off these troublesome guests, I saw a young man who looked three years older than me.
A young man who always covers his head with a hood, I knew he would look bad. But I didn’t expect it to be this bad.
"Fufu~ It would be better if I had seen your faces. If you are lucky enough, maybe I won’t kill you who pass by me when you’re not on duty carrying out orders from the Duchess’s family."
"Take off their hoods..." I ordered while glancing at Jeanne and Furina to help with this interrogation.
Aaahh, this is so troublesome...
I have to remember the faces of the people who are involved in this kind of risky work.
I already know the workload of the Black Maid unit is complicated, and these six people must be experiencing the same thing.
Srrusshh...
After their hoods were pull down, I noticed a uniqueness that I rarely see in military units moving from behind the scenes.
The Assassins unit comprises a diverse group of people with varying levels of skill. It’s quite interesting to see Duchess Kaori’s unique method of creating this unit. Their age range varies, and they operate in small groups, making them ideal for behind-the-scenes work.
I also would not have thought that there was a little girl who joined this Assassins unit. Her body does look like a little girl’s, but her magic core is big enough to be able to cast magic that erases her presence, like an adult.
I could guess they’d received special training.
After all, I’d already met the high-ranking adventurers sent by Duchess Kaori. From that alone, I could tell that Duchess Kaori was extremely confident in her military unit’s capabilities.
"Cough! Let’s start with a simple question," I said with a friendly smile at them.
I, who am not used to smiling in a friendly manner, forced my face to smile at them.
Swuuurrlll...
Momo, who was flying low beside me, suddenly released her reddish-black magical energy, and some parts of her cursed Odachi were golden as a sign that she was a cursed weapon created by the Goddess of Destruction.
Thanks to Momo’s appearance, who was enveloped in a large and terrifying magical energy, this small Assassins unit felt intimidated, and my friendly smile did not make them feel at ease.
If it has happened, then so be it...
I will do this as usual...
Which means... smiling coldly and staring at them with a sharp gaze.
Yup, I will do just that...
As I stared at the unit Assassins, Jeanne and Furina were also feeling intimidated. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
"First question... is the person who sent you all here a noble?" I asked the six troublesome guests.
Nod...
With a small nod of their heads, this would be a less tiring interrogation session.
"Second question... the person who ordered you all is a pig? Ah, wait, I mean this person is so fat and he looks like a pig?"
Nod...
A second nod was seen, and his identity was becoming clearer.
"Third question... is the person who sent you all here within Duchess Kaori’s main family?" I asked, giving the final answer.
I wanted to see the last question as the final answer, but they shook their heads, triggering divine punishment from the Goddess of Destruction.
JDDEEER!!
If only they had not lied, they would definitely not have received this kind of divine punishment.
"Thank you for trying to lie within the sacred territory of the Goddess of Destruction."
"Now I know who ordered you all to do something with my precious woman..." I said coldly and smiled one last time before sitting back down.
