Chapter 196
Virgin of the Wilderness 2
What the fuck!?
The jade is coming!? Over there!?
Nyah
I’m going to relay the audio.
And then I heard a conversation between them.
–Lolo, what happened suddenly, I wonder…
–Oh, don’t worry about it. Cats are whimsical. Sometimes. Instead, I thought you had returned to Oliglow.
Yeah, well, I missed Lecter’s voice after all this time.
No matter who you’re dealing with, always be polite and somewhere kind. In other words, it’s a strange voice.
I could easily think of a beautiful smile and a glitter of royal aura in my head from a good general.
And this… I’m sure I’m exploring it now using my full “appraisal” skills…
You must be talking to someone and reading behind the words and their backs from how they express their skills and how they change their emotions. I’m really scared of people like this…
I’m really glad I’m not your enemy.
–Oh, that’s right. Of course I was in Oliglow. But I… I really wanted to save you. The other day, I found out in Oliglow that you fell to the poison arrow with the force of foresight. The poison arrow hits me… because of that poison, you’re lying on the floor… That’s why I came out of Oliglow desperately to save you…!
–Oh, that’s amazing. I wonder why I saw such a scene. But rest assured. I’m not pinning like this and lying on the floor right now. I’m fine.
– Yes! You look really well. I was surprised, too. But since Lecter is kind, why don’t you just make sure he doesn’t worry about me and his men? Even if you think you are fine, you may still have poison left. Your body is actually more tired than usual. After all, I’m a “prefetched Virgin”, so I’m sure what I saw…!
Hmm? Poisonous arrow…?
Does that mean that the assassination scenario at the tournament was part of the scenario?
And you think that poison was actually a sleeping scenario by now?
Yeah, I’ve gotten better…?
― ― It is true that there was poison arrow noise, but thanks to Anis, I was able to do everything quickly. That’s why I’m not sleeping. What if I was mistaken for a normal sleeping scene at night?
–Well! There must be a mistake like that… The poison that attacked Lector-sama must have been an instant poison. In such a poisoned crisis situation, your men cannot easily bring their lovers from enemy countries closer, even to the Virgin. Ha! Did she use something suspicious behind her back? Because no one but me can foresee it and save you properly!
–I don’t know what you’re mistaken for, but Anis is not an enemy woman or just my lover. Wife. That’s what all of us in this castle know, so there’s not a single man here who would prevent a worried wife from rushing to her husband’s place.
The voice of Lecter whispered quietly.
But I see.
Is it possible that in that maiden game, the scenario of the Virgin not being the General’s “wife” but as a “lover” was progressing?
Speaking of which, this marriage was triggered by a priest who wasn’t supposed to be in the scenario. And in that game, on the system, endings would have been the wedding scene regardless of the opponent.
Does that mean that in that game scenario, the heroine’s Virgin wasn’t married to the general?
And as a “lover”, you’ll be late for that fallen Lecter.
Perhaps it was the setting of a protagonist who was desperately trying to rush to the importance of the general, such as a mere “lover” whom the general favored, and someone who rebelled against being an enemy human being.
The formal “wife” position was the first rebellion. If it was just a “lover brought back from an enemy country”, there would have been rumours of “mistress” or “enemy spy who deceived the general with colorful tricks”, and it might not have been strange for anyone to believe it.
And maybe someone who believed that suspicion was the scenario that disturbed the hero when he tried to rush.
But in fact, if I had arrived a little late at that time, I think he would have been in great danger.
Perhaps by the time the general died, he could have managed to stop it.
Maybe there was a slight difference in timing that left the poison unhealed…?
And Jime knows that scenario.
In other words, in that game, Lecter is now in bed under the influence of poison or something.
Wow, that was close.
It’s kind of a piece of paper, but…
– Oh! Of course I know, not just you, but everyone here has been entirely deceived by that false Virgin. She’s not here right now, so I confess… the real woman is a terrible woman. That woman is a genius at deceiving people under the guise of kindness. And now I’m laughing at you in the shadows. I was hoping that it was time for you to leave that woman and realize that her magic had also been solved…
–Oh no, if you think I don’t know anything about my wife, it’s a misunderstanding. And I certified her as a ‘Virgin’. Your claim that you made her a fake means that you are saying that I made a mistake. Am I that stupid?.
–Well, that’s not true… Mr. Lecter was kind, so he took the time to trick me. The nicer the person, the worse the woman deceives you. Oh, my poor Lecter. I can’t allow that woman to fool Lecter like this. All the bad news is that she’s a liar. For example, does Mr. Lecter know her real name? That name Anis is not the real name of that woman. What’s her real name?
–It doesn’t matter to me, such as name. She is her. I know what she is like. Isn’t that enough? Besides, I would know if it was her previous name. But she has no choice but to name her name of her choice. Names are not a problem in this country because many people change them if necessary.
Oh… Lectol, cool…
As a matter of fact, his name had long been known to him. After all, his “appraisal” skills are incredible.
For some time I had just come to this world, I kept the name of the previous world as it was. His track record at that time apparently made his skills visible to me from the beginning.
That’s why, at the wedding, I was told to write my name on the wedding pledge without fail.
Well, when it was time to sign and I was told to write your name down with my real face as usual, that was a surprise…
No longer nostalgic, the signature of that fluent marriage. I thought you saw the obsession of not creating a hole that would definitely be invalid…
Oops, I couldn’t help but notice my distant eyes.
–So you trust that woman more than I do? Even more than I have abandoned my country for you….!
–I believe in my wife.
Ah, I’m sure you’re staring back at the jade with that perfect smile.
That glitter must have leaked by accident.
Purposeful humans seem to be more or less upset and emotionally shaken when they face people who respond differently to their expectations.
I’m sure from this satisfying tone of voice of his, it’s time for the jade to have a bit of a lack of common sense in Lector, who won’t be persuaded to say anything at all.
In that state, he says, the truth is easy to see.
I’m scared. I’m really scared of him.
And I’m kind of pulling myself together to see what he’s doing under that perfect smile…
– Why!? I can’t believe I trust that woman…! How awful! Why can’t you believe me when I’m telling you the truth!? I’m much, much better than a liar like that! I love you, Lecter!
The jade sounded a little impatient. I knew you were upset.
Hmm, Lecter must be very happy inside.
But I’ll be consistently told it’s terrible, I…
――……
–Actually, I was going to keep my mouth shut for you, but if you’re so stubborn about believing that woman, I’ll tell you already…! It may be a cruel fact for you… but I actually heard it on my way here. Even though she was still Lecter’s wife, she ran off against a man named Galeon of the “People of the Grange”….!
– Huh?
