Eleanor von Chrysos had little memory of her mother. Because she was already dead when she was very young.

The only thing she remembers about her mother.

Only the soft palms that used to caress her young self, but the hard palms that soon grew cold.

What is left of her

– It’s okay to do nothing.

father’s indifference.

-… … .

Ignoring those around you.

No matter what Eleanor did, people around her didn’t care.

Even if you’re grumpy.

even if you do good.

Even if you use a group and shout.

just tidying up after her.

He didn’t even give her a proper look.

Why? What did she do wrong that made people around her treat her like a trinket?

Eleanor couldn’t know that. In the end, she did as Delade said.

-… … .

She stopped everything she was doing and just lived.

Like dolls, like ornaments, like the expressionless expressions they used to make, I decided to live a dry life like that.

Yes, until I met her.

-Wow~ That’s a pretty hair color! Is this the hallmark of the Chrysos royal family? Moreover, the princess’s eyes are blue, similar to mine, so it suits her better.

-… … .

– Although the cake is delicious, it looks plain to eat, so I added decorations. How about it?

-… … .

– How do you like this dress? Well… … . is not it? As expected, the blue system seems to suit the princess better… … . How are you princess?

-… … .

Eleanor was silent. It was just silent, as always.

Because it’s been so long.

I didn’t know how to answer.

-Tada~ Look at this. This time, it is my own work. Hey, are you saying I’m working so hard for the princess?

Still, she is constantly.

-princess! Look at this!

Unlike Eleanor, who had already given up in the past.

– Isn’t it funny?

She didn’t give up talking to Eleanor.

So little by little Eleanor.

– How do you like this one?

-yes… … .

very little

– Look at this! Are you curious? Wouldn’t it be nice to have something like this?

– I think it will be fine.

like step by step.

-Tada~ This cake is my own creation. How are you? delicious right?

-Is it strange? You better try a little harder Decentra.

-Ah… … .

could change

Gradually, she began to be influenced by a woman named Decentra.

Following her, he decorated himself, looked for delicious food, and eventually began to find interesting and interesting things.

-Ahh! It exploded.

– Do, run away! I’m a princess!

And it started crashing.

She could go from being a trinket to being a human and being a troublemaker.

Everyone started looking at her.

-Eleanor… … . I’ve said it before, but even if you don’t do anything… … . No, can’t you stop doing that?

Delade, who had been muttering that he didn’t have to do anything, got into trouble while saying the same thing.

But I was looking at her.

People around her, who treated her like an invisible person, began to pay attention to her, not knowing when she might have an accident.

And her feet are gradually out of the world in the narrow castle.

As if to imprint himself on everyone living in the kingdom, he began to spread out.

-Oh, princess, are you here?

-Isn’t that weird-haired maid not with you today?

-Today is a holiday!

Eleanor slowly began to melt into the world.

Unable to hold anything in her hands, she eventually held the world.

I had relationships with many people.

But that… … .

– Uhm… … . Who were you?

It collapsed in an instant.

Eleanor thinks.

Was he really unhappy? Or were you happy?

The happiness she felt was gone like a midsummer night’s dream.

As if it was a dream from the beginning.

It collapsed like a mirage.

The moment of happiness she felt was only momentary.

It must not have been a dark enough time to have regrets.

“What does Eleanor want to do when she returns to the kingdom? Revenge too?”

Eleanor has not yet been able to answer Justitia’s questions that have been repeatedly asked of her.

I just vaguely thought.

I just thought I should see it with my own eyes.

In fact, even what he was trying to confirm was ambiguous.

“Um… … . I am.”

But now I know.

“I want to go find the people who filled my moments of happiness.”

That brief happiness is the foundation that made her who she is today.

Eleanor remembered the image of Decentra suffering as her soul was captured by the monster.

If everyone was in that state, I wanted to save them.

And… … .

“I also can’t stand to see everyone do bad things in their guise.”

The monster that claimed to have swallowed Delade was intelligent.

If it was just a rampaging monster, wouldn’t it be possible to let her harbor scheming in the form of the people she loved?

Maybe this is the last chance. Opportunities that the armed force of being a hero will help you will not always come.

“So I want to fulfill my responsibilities. How is your sister? Why are you helping me?”

“I am also from Chrysos. So you have to confirm what happened while I was doing something else.”

Eleanor saw Justitia’s bitter smile and nodded.

It’s not just her. Someone else wants to know about Chrysos.

Then, as a member of the royal family, she should take the lead before anyone else.

Because that’s the responsibility of the royal family she decided to shoulder.

* * *

“Pooh!”

“… … .”

In the middle of the journey following Eleanor and Justitia.

I felt the cruelty of fate again.

“Oh, very… … . Pooh, well, I think it suits you well. The Prince of Oz.”

Lucia held back a laugh, unable to make eye contact with me.

It wasn’t long before the agreement was signed. do you have this?

“… … If you don’t shut up right now, you will die. Lucia Punisher.”

There was a double line.

I hoped it wasn’t like that, but in the end, this damn situation is definitely the result of that foreshadowing.

but.

Hopefully in this way.

at this timing.

“Cheup! what, what… … . It’s just that you’re wearing a wig, but to say that you look good with that alone doesn’t mean you have a talent for dressing up as a woman?”

I never thought I would dress up as a woman… … .

No, in fact, it wasn’t even a woman’s disguise. I just wore a wig over it.

However, the problem was that everyone around me saw me as a woman.

From the moment I saw the results of Eleanor’s vote, I felt a slight sense of anxiety. Usually, such anxieties tend to hit the mark.

So I deliberately put it in a corner of my head and tried not to think of it.

But what is it?

I ended up getting this crap.

It wasn’t Eleanor who f*cked me, it was Lucia Domine, unexpectedly.

“Isn’t it also self-employed in the first place? Who said it would be famous?”

“I can’t really be responsible for your safety if you babble any more, Lucia Punisher.”

I am also famous.

However, due to Lucia Domine’s remarks this time, it would be safe to say that interest in me has spread all over the world.

With Eleanor and Justitia secretly following, this kind of attention is not good.

Didn’t Eleanor just leave me in the first place?

If they knew that I was chasing them, they could either stay silent and move, or they could go on a more strenuous journey.

Even so, the opponent could be called Eleanor, but… … .

The problem is the hero Justitia who is accompanying her.

For what purpose did she accompany Eleanor, and why did she not curse her?

It is said that there is nothing good to approach in a situation where you are not sure of anything.

That’s why I needed to move while hiding my identity… … .

“Don’t be so angry, Prince Oz. Wasn’t that what you agreed to in the first place? What can I do to be born with such cold eyes?”

The influence of [Contemplation] was a problem. Those cold eyes make people care even if they don’t face each other.

However, it is impossible to disable [Contemplation] in a situation where an assassin may attack me from anywhere.

Even if you cover your face with a hood or robe.

Ozu’s black hair was rather conspicuous in this fantasy with surprisingly colorful hair colors. So I wore a wig.

therefore.

yes, that’s it… … .

It’s not enough that I’m wearing a wide robe, I’m hiding my face with a hood, and I’m even wearing a wig in case I stand up.

I didn’t think of this at first.

I just wanted to change my hair style, but to hide Oz’s distinctive dark hair, I needed a wig with naturally long hair.

Ozu’s face is beautiful.

Rather than being manly, it is said that he is a handsome boy with the feeling of a nobleman.

Yes, just wearing a wig made her look like a woman.

But with that alone, everyone passing by, including Lucia, began to recognize me as a woman.

“It couldn’t have been like this… … .”

Okay, let’s think positively.

If I lie about my gender, no one will doubt whether I am the [Apostle of Dawn] or Nabal.

Ahahahahaha! It’s funny even when I think about it.

An apostle of God who came down at the call of God is dressed as a woman?

Who would believe that, hahahaha!

There’s no doubt about it, but… … .

“From now on, I will kill anyone who talks to me.”

“No, that’s about it… … ?”

Oh, I don’t know. From now on, I will kill anyone who talks to me.

“Why is there no magic tool that can change the shape itself? Come to think of it, the head of the academy also uses polymorph to live as a kid, right?”

“Because it is officially banned magic in Spellage. Apparently, deceiving one’s appearance can destabilize the international situation.”

“Magic King Salem… … !”

After all, that damn bastard is my enemy. Did you say come in 3 years?

I’m definitely going to smash this bastard during summer vacation next year.

“Stop it and let’s go get some fake IDs. The Prince of Oz.”

“Is it not enough to make me look like this now, so I’m going to a place with so many people?”

“It’s fake, but I need a photo to make an ID card, so I can’t help it… … .”

“… … .”

under! really… … . It is a pitiful feeling.

* * *

I made an ID card, went through minor troubles, bypassed Speller, and arrived at a village close to the border of Chrysos Kingdom.

This village will be the last one we pass through. Yes, it means that we have caught up with the village where Eleanor and Justitia are now.

“I think you’ve gotten used to the way you behave as a woman over the time?”

“I must have told you not to talk nonsense. Wanna see this place burn? yes?! You think I can’t?!”

advanced magic

[Hell Fire]

I can now use advanced magic as well. That I can burn this place and erase everything along with my dark history. You think I can’t?!

“Whoah, calm down, Prince Oz. Is it over soon? You just have to be patient a little longer. Are you going to end this without reciprocation?”

“Keugh… … .”

Now that all the barriers to be crossed have been crossed, this is also the end.

Let’s be patient a little longer.

“… … Somehow, it seems that his eyes have gotten worse than before.”

That’s because I’m maximizing [Contemplation] right now.

With the determination to kill all the bastards who talk to me, I sent unspoken pressure to all the bastards who looked at me.

Of course, it was also because Justitia was nearby.

Her cognitive abilities are not normal. Even though they just entered the same town, they are keeping an eye on this side.

He should have known that ＜Tenebris＞ was watching him in the first place.

It’s just that I didn’t see it as such a big threat. But now, isn’t the destination just around the corner?

So, will she let her tail go?

“Did you not let me go further when I arrived in front of the Demon King?”

“Yes, even directions were the limits of access she allowed.”

“Then, it’s likely to be the same this time.”

“Yes, I can come to warn you tonight at the earliest. Or use force right away, or take countermeasures before it’s too late… … . Well?”

Suddenly, Justitia, who was watching with [Contemplation], began to move.

It’s not just the feeling of moving or looking around.

Justitia is now running with all her might.

“This, please… … .”

Could she be able to predict our actions as I can predict Justitia’s?

This town is the last place.

It’s clear that she will do anything to get off her tail.

Then what about us?

We are anticipating her move to get off her tail and are trying to take countermeasures.

Wasn’t Justitia unaware of that fact?

The way of ＜Tenebris＞ that I even encountered once?

Then, for her to go beyond our expectations… … .

“Read.”

“What… … ?”

It’s just that this side moves before it can prepare in advance.

The direction Justitia is moving is right here.

It’s pointing at us with a pinpoint.

Since it is close to the border, it seems that they were paying attention to the fact that outsiders came in.

I never imagined that we, who joined late, would be immediately identified as the remnants of ＜Tenebris＞.

“Prepare. Because the warrior will come.”

At worst, it could lead to a fight.

“Oh no already?! So, what should we do now?”

“If Eleanor told you about me, maybe we could talk and work it out.”

“Conversation? But you now… … .”

bang!

The moment Lucia was about to say something, the wall shattered and a figure entered the room.

Hair shining like gold, eyes resembling sapphires.

“excuse me! Is this where the group called Tenebris is located?”

[SSR Golden Champion]

Justitia Heros

“Hmm?”

The moment I noticed her, I could feel her nervousness.

Damn [contemplation].

It could lead straight into battle as usual.

“Hero, Justitia. It’s sudden, but listen to me first… … .”

“Oh, I thought they were shady stalkers, but they are cute women, right?”

“ah… … .”

“I said so… … .”

The plan to enter into negotiations by revealing that I was Oz was immediately scattered like a bubble.

Can not be done.

At this point, I cannot say that I am Oz.

If I take off this f*cking wig, the other person will be able to understand who I am. But I don’t have the confidence to convince him why I dressed as a woman.

Actually, it wasn’t even a girl’s dress, but no one believed it.

“Nice to meet you. Hero Justitia. I am a ‘magician’ belonging to Tenebris… … .”

“Intuitive codename! awesome! But I think it would be a little awkward for them to follow us any further.”

“Is that so?”

“So I’ll break your limbs here. Will you understand?”

In an intuitive and terrifying way.

“Isn’t there an option to understand each other through conversation?”

“I do not know? Unfortunately, I don’t even know who you are, and I don’t have the confidence to easily subdue a mage like you if it weren’t for now?”

“This is so… … .”

It is the same judgment that the country would have made.

Leaving behind is only when you have an overwhelming advantage.

As long as I can’t reveal that I’m Oz, I’m suspicious, dirty-eyed, and somehow powerful.

Battle is unavoidable.

“I’ll tell you in case you don’t know, but I’m a pretty strong enemy.”

“i know! That’s why I’m here to put it away!”

“It’s scary… … .”

A small place called an inn room.

The narrowed distance as it narrows.

It’s impossible to beat this.

“Come in.”

So, it would be better to let them suffer here.

It’s enough to catch up after recovering with [Those Who Challenge Divinity].

At that time, I would have never imagined that I would catch up.
