Princess Noel's eyes are a little cold as she looks at me.
''Brave Lord Makoto-sama. Is that an imitation of the legend of the Savior?
What?
　Suddenly he said something strange.

'Legend of the Saviour?'
"...You don't know?　It's a famous story.
　Princess Noel told us.

　--A thousand years ago, Abel, the savior of the world, defeated the Great Demon King and brought peace to the world.
　Abel, who is also a legendary hero, gathered the surviving tribes of people and founded the Land of the Sun (Highland).
　It is the year zero of the Christian era.
　The people of the Highlands wanted Abel to become the king.
　But Abel, the messiah, left, saying that he had people waiting for him.
　No one has seen him since.
　Such is the legend.

"...I didn't know.
　Oh, that one.
　They thought I was imitating that and being cool.
　That's a bit painful.
　Noel-sama's cold eyes also nodded.

''You really didn't know that, did you?
　The cold expression returned to its original state.
'Lord Jesus, I don't like this story!　I thought I'd get mad at you if you were imitating me.
　Princess Noel puts her hands on her hips and makes a mmmm face.
　She's a very expressive person.

Why don't you like it?
"Because,
　Noel-sama gives me a sultry look.
''Savior Abel-sama had a lover, Saint Anna-sama, right?　And yet, "there's someone waiting for you", it's like there was another woman!
Ah.
　I see.
　Well, now that you mention it, you're right.
　There was another woman, Savior.

"Historians say that Savior Abel lived out the rest of his days in comfort with his elderly mother at his birthplace.
Oh, I see.
It was an afterthought.
What?
　Are you making this up?

'We have no clue what happened to the Saviour, you know. We have to make up a story like that. We can't allow a story about Lady Anna, the first king of the Highlands, having her lover taken by another woman!
'It's tough...'
　This country (Highland) has been a pain in the ass since it was founded, hasn't it?

"Wouldn't the Great Sage know more about it?
　That man is a party member of Savior Abel from a thousand years ago.
''The Great Sage also insists that he doesn't know about the Saviour who is gone...''
Well.....
　I feel like I know for sure.
　What's going on?

''That's why the bloodline of the Savior-sama and the same skill 'Brave Man of Light' Ryosuke-sama is absolutely necessary for the Highland Royal Family. Skills are often expressed by the same bloodline.
''The 'Light Brave' skill hasn't had a possessor appear for a thousand years, right?
Yes it's a blow to the Highland royal family.
Sakurai-kun from another world appears after a thousand years...
　I sighed.

　Still.
　Skills are determined by bloodline?
　It's logical that royalty like Princess Sophia and Prince Leonard have powerful skills.
　Thanks to that, Sakurai-kun has 20 wives.
　
　Oh, it's another dance partner.
　I wonder what fiancée that girl is.

(But the next king of this country is Princess Noel.... The heir is Princess Noel's child, right?)
　Somehow, I can't help but look at Princess Noel from the side.
　Sakurai-kun and this innocent Princess Noel....
　After all, we've been blessed.
　I'm jealous, explode.

　I don't know if he noticed that look, but he looks at me and makes a prankster-like face.
"What?　Dear Makoto. Could it be that I don't have to have children?　You think?
!　No, no, no. No, no, no.
　I'm thinking of something stupid, you read me!
　Here, Princess Noel looks at me with a meaningful expression.

''Because a priestess of the Goddess must be pure. She can't bear a child now.''
"What?
　What does that mean?
　You should have seen my face.
　Princess Noel came soothingly close.
　She tugged lightly on the collar of my clothes and put her mouth close to my ear.

'A maiden must be a virgin. That's why I've never been one.
　He whispered something like that.
"?　!" "Of, Mr. Noel?
　That line and the breath on my ear made my body temperature rise.
　Ka, my face is hot!
　Isn't this guy kinda blunt?

Oh, you're very brave. I'm very petty, aren't I?
　Princess Noel giggles and laughs.
　You're too mischievous, Princess!

　But, well.
　I've had many beautiful fiancées.
　But I guess you'll have to wait for the most beautiful one, Princess Noel. That's too bad...
　I'm sorry to hear that.
　Yeah... But...

(After all, I won't marry the Princess until I defeat the Demon King and save the world, right, Sakurai-kun?

　He's become more likeable in my mind.
(Isn't that just the truth?)
　There's nothing wrong with that, Lady Noah.
　For me, it's a nice touch.

"You're enjoying yourself, aren't you, dearest? Master Noel.
　A cold voice.
　And the temperature of the air has dropped as well.
　It's cold.

Yeah, Princess Sophia? Oh, hello. Dear Sophia.
　Me and Princess Noel quickly distance ourselves from each other.
'When did you guys become friends?
　Princess Sophia with the same cold eyes and voice as when Lucy was staying in my room the other day.

''Oh no, you came because I didn't have anyone to talk to. Thank you, Noel-sama.
It's a natural thing for an organizer to entertain guests. So long, my dear sir.
　I thanked Princess Noel and she slipped away.

''Well if you had come over here, I would have dealt with you.
　Princess Sophia is mumbling to herself.
　I can't go to your royal area, you know?

　Then there was Princess Sophia and Prince Leonard.
　We were introduced to a holy knight with whom Sa-san had become friends, and a young noblewoman who had become friends with Lucy.
　The second half of the party was a lot of fun.

　At the end, they made me say hello to the new brave men and stuff!
　I hadn't heard that, Mr. Noel!

　It was biting.
　Don't be so reckless all of a sudden........

　I'm still very careful.
　The Land of the Sun (Highland).　


　◇


　--that night.
　In my dream, I was in Goddess' space.

"Ma'am Noah?
Hello, true.
　The one who came was Noah in a party dress?
　You saw the party earlier and you wanted to wear it.
　You look good in it.

What is it?　That outfit.
Hmm. Isn't he cute?
　Master Noah, spinning his wheels.
　Hey!　If you move that much, the inside of my skirt....
　I can't see!
　Is the Absolute Realm of the Goddess alive and well?

'You seem to be in a good mood.
Well, you've managed to win over the priestesses and the heroes.
　Nostalgia...?
　As usual, I express myself in a disgusting way.
　We're getting along well.

''Is that referring to Sakurai-kun or Princess Noel?
Yeah. They like you very much. Keep up the good work, my dear.
Well, I'm tired of the sunshine country, and I'd like to go home.
　To a stubborn status system.
　The bloodthirsty and brave.
　Aristocrats who hold a grudge against you for no reason or talk behind your back.
　And to top it all off, there's a sub-human rebellion.
　It's just too much trouble.
　Come to think of it, I wonder if Fujiyan got any information.
　As it turns out, we didn't get to see him today.

"I hear we've identified some of the leader classes of the subhuman rebellion plan, right?
Quick!
　It's not even been 24 hours.
　You're FBI?
　You're Jack Bauer?
　I mean, Master Noah.

No spoilers, please.
'No, I'm a goddess. It's my job to guide the apostles. You really think I'm some kind of attack wiki?
　He gave me a disapproving look.

'No, it's not.
　In fact, I was thinking.
"Hey!
Is that so?
　If Noah-sama is coming out, that means it's an event.

Can you stop treating my appearance as if "my appearance = (equals) the start of an event!
　But that's usually the case!

"Oh my god, that's what the apostles of gaming brains with 'RPG game player' skills are for.
　Mumbling and complaining, Master Noah.
'So, we're going to talk about how we're going to do this, right?
Oh, yeah. Do you have a real opinion about this?
　I snapped my fingers and a whiteboard appeared in the air.
　It looks like a school.

'We should still stop the rebellion, right?
　This isn't the time to be fighting among your people when the return of the Great Demon King is imminent.
　It seems that the people who were in Nina-san's care are also participating in the rebellion.

That's true. It's also a matter of how to stop them. If there's a way to stop it, it will leave a legacy of resentment among the human race and sub-humans, and we'll be at a disadvantage in the war against the forces of the Great Demon King.
　It is quickly written on the white board in letters.
　It was written in Japanese.

'Well, here's the problem. Why do you think the timing of this rebellion is so important?
It's a frustration with the class system...
　No, is it?
　There was a clear division between the human race and the sub-human population of the city.
　Trouble seemed to be hard to come by, and the aristocratic young woman at today's party was favorable to the elven Lucy.
　It seems that Princess Noel, after all, is against the status system, so she's following suit.
　And Princess Noel doesn't seem to have a race-baiting image.

''It's not a simple dissatisfaction with the class system...?''
Maybe - any ideas?
　With a thump and black magic, Master Noah taps the whiteboard.　
　A rebellion is being planned in the Highland capital of Sinfonia.
　Who will benefit from it.........

The Demon tribe........the Order of the Serpent?
I think it's worth looking into.
　The goddess winks at me.
　I look at it with sullen eyes.

'The Goddess knows all about it, doesn't she?　If there's a rebellion like this one, the death toll will go up, and please tell me all about it.
Oh, come on. Don't give me that look.
　Noah-sama backed away, as if he was impatient.

''The people of the Serpent Sect are so many fanatical Demon God King followers that 'other gods' like me can't read their movements!　I'm sure it's the same with the followers of the Holy Gods tribe.
'So you don't think Princess Noel and Princess Sophia will be taught by the Goddess, then?
　I see.........
　If you have a strong faith, you can't be seen by other gods?

''Noel-chan should have the most information, not only because of the power of a goddess priestess, but also because of her power to run the temple knights and her position as royalty.
Well, I guess I should've asked her at the party.
''Well it's a bit of an airhead to talk about the sub-human rebellion and the snake cult at that party earlier, though.
　He looked at me a bit like a disappointed child.
　What is it, it's better to be efficient in asking around, right?

　Come to think of it, this reminds me of what an old man of the giant gods used to say to me.
He said to me, "Noah's friend, that old giant god we met before, do you think you could get him to help you?
Oh, Grandpa. Hmm, it must be difficult. The Titan God Tribe is very good at fighting, but they are not good at the details, and it is forbidden for the God Tribe to directly interfere with the people on the ground in the first place.
Is that so?
　From what I've heard.
　The divine race can at least give blessings and items, though.
　But they are forbidden to directly interfere in the disputes between the people of the earth.

''If the Holy Gods, Demon Gods and Titans fought each other directly, the earth would be a mess. In the old days, during the Divine World War (Titanomachia) and the Giant God War (Gigantomachia), everything on earth was destroyed once.
Well, no, then.
　You're going to ask for help, and you're going to trigger a bigger war.

''Ask for help from Grandpa if you want to bless one of your friends, or if you want a powerful item with earth attributes.
　It seems that the Titan God Race has the power of the earth spirit, because they have the power of the earth spirit.
　Not so far........
　Sa-san doesn't have any wizardry aptitude.
　Lucy has already had her items enhanced.
　This method is on hold, I guess.

Oh, yeah, there's one thing you need to know.
What is this?

'Because I don't get along with the sun goddess Althena.
...Is that so?
''She's a serious goddess with a tickled head and inflexibility, you know. So be careful, you can't do backroom deals like in the Land of Water.
　In the Land of Water (Roses), I became a brave man and didn't convert.
　It's because Noah-sama talked to Eir-sama, the goddess of water, for me.
　Apparently, that is difficult to do in the Highlands.

''The Sun Goddess cult has the most hard-headed believers among the six goddesses, so you have to be careful.
　When I look at Princess Noel, the Sun Priestess, though, I don't get the picture.
　It seems that the followers of the sun goddess beliefs are so serious that they are troublesome when they are spotted.
　I'll be careful not to cause any trouble....
　I'm a minor faith (one believer).

So, to wrap it up.
　As if this was the main issue, 'Ninth Ward Street' was written on the white board.

'Go to the slums of the Ninth Ward.
Slums?
　What?
　Is the Ninth Ward a slum?
　In terms of RPG games, this one needs to be explored!

'There's no treasure chest.　But maybe there are hidden passages?
　He smiles at me.
　That's what I'm talking about, Master Noah.
　I know.

"But why are you checking out the slums?
There are mages living in the Ninth Ward.
!　Are there demons in King's Landing?
It's possible to live here. It's not exactly a nice place to live, but it's the same city with criminals and mafia. There's nowhere else to live. It's just a bunch of crap.
　Noah-sama says it in a boring way.
　I see.................the lowest level of the royal capital, Symphonia.
　If it's a city where the demon race lives, it might be able to tell us something about the snake cult.

''I understand. As per Noah-sama's advice, I'll head to the Ninth Ward Street.
True. Some places are more dangerous than others. You have to be careful.
　While saying that, Noah-sama disappeared.

　........Is it dangerous?
　But it also smells a bit of adventure.
　I think we've decided on our next destination.
