Chapter 86 – Villager A Protects the villainess:-
“A Saint, huh? You?”
“Yes! I was recognized by this 『Staff of Divine Guidance』! That’s why I’m a Saint of Charity!”
No, no matter how you look at it, you are the exact opposite of a Saint.
“Then, what happened to the blessing? Without that, you wouldn’t qualify as a Saint.”
“W-Well, that’s that. I became a Saint.”
No, no. What kind of logic is that?
I appraise the staff I took up.
────
Name: Staff of Divine Guidance
Description: Those who take this staff with a truly strong desire in their hands, and whose strength of desire is recognized, will receive one skill or blessing that will fulfil their deepest, truest wish. May be used only once per person.
Grade: Legendary
Price: ???
────
Will be given the skill or blessing to make your true wishes come true?
With a huff, I put the staff on the table beside me, took out a magic stone I had with me, and appraise Amy’s status.
────
Name: Amy von Bryes
Age: 17
Blessing:〖Healing〗〖Witch of Envy〗
Skill:
Place of residence: Lurden
Possession: 9,728
Level: 16
Physical strength: E
Magical power: C
Achievement:
────
〖Healing〗: Given to those who wish to heal people’s wounds, illnesses, and hearts. It greatly increases a person’s aptitude for healing magic.
〖Witch of Envy〗: It is given to a woman who wishes to have all the opposite sex she desires and believes with all her heart that she can have it. It greatly increases her own attractiveness as a woman and significantly increases her aptitude for 【Kotodama】.
────
【Kotodama】: It is possible to put magic power on the words one utters aloud and imprint their contents on the target person. It is effective only when the target person perceives the words as positive in terms of favour, trust, lust, or some other emotion, and the more positive the perception, the greater the effect.
────
“Huh? Wait a minute! Witch!?”
I yelled out in surprise.
A ridiculous monster has been born!
If this is left unchecked, we will be in serious trouble.
“Hey! Guards!”
“Leo!”
The moment I shouted, the Crown Prince shouted Leonardo’s name.
Then Leonard screams from the bottom of his belly and makes an unpleasant noise.
Leonardo then forced his way out of the bind, grabbed a nearby chair, and attacked Anna, who was watching the 『Staff of Divine Guidance』 in her hand.
“Look out!”
“Ah!”
I immediately took a stand to protect Anna, who was unable to move.
I managed to protect Anna, but Leonardo’s blow hit me squarely and I was blown away with her.
“Damn.”
I managed to prevent the impact on Anna, but I felt tremendous pain in my abdomen.
I stood up in pain and tried to fight back against Leonardo, but he struck me with a merciless blow.
When I took the blow squarely in the face, stars flew in front of my eyes and I almost lost consciousness.
“Allen! Allen!”
I’m on my knees and Anna is next to me, looking at me and calling out to me, looking like she’s about to start crying.
“Come on! Let’s get out of here!”
The crown princes shouted as he stood up, still bound.
“No! My staff! Moreover, we have to put an end to that guy.”
“That’s right. Ah no, no, it’s better to let Amy escape.”
He almost nodded for a moment at the sound of Amy’s voice, but in the end, the Crown Prince chose to flee.
“Amy, you’re right. I’ll stay behind to finish them and bring the staff back. Please, Your Highnesses, take care of Amy.”
“O-Okay, but you’re definitely coming back alive, right?”
Amy and the others saw Leonardo nodding broadly, and they ran off without a hitch.
Damn. What the hell is going on? What are the guards who are supposed to be waiting outside doing?
I manage to stand up, with Anna supporting my back, and glare at Leonardo.
If you look closely, Leonardo’s left wrist is crushed and bleeding profusely.
I see. Apparently, he pulled himself out of the bind by force at the expense of his own left hand.
And it is probably the effect of the〖Hero〗buff by the Crown Prince that made it possible.
But in that condition, he should not be able to hold the sword anymore if he is not treated soon.
Even though Amy is supposed to be able to use healing magic.
It’s a cruel thing to do.
That said, I don’t think I will be able to fight for much longer either, as I still have some damage from earlier and a piece of a broken chair from the first blow is lodged in my side.
“Die! Vile commoner!”
This time Leonardo, holding a candlestick in his hand, attacked again, aiming not at me but at Anna.
“You’ve got to be kidding me! Which one of us is the coward!”
I hastily draw my sword and get between him and Anna to catch the candlestick.
No matter how much he has the blessing of a〖Knight〗, if he can only use one hand, I can manage. I thought so, but with the buff from〖Hero〗, this guy was a monster, to be honest.
My sword is lightly flicked away, and he strikes me in the side with the candlestick in his right hand.
I, who couldn’t catch the blow, was blown away and slammed hard into the wall.
The shock made me unable to breathe for a moment, but I desperately tried to stand up somehow.
Moreover, the wound was opened because the fragment of the chair was pierced into my side, and blood was dripping.
Maybe … This alone could be a fatal injury.
The moment I came to that realization, I collapsed to the ground, my strength draining from my knees.
It’s not good! Anna! I have to … protect her! Stand up! Move!
“Allen! …… Leonardo! How dare you!”
“At the commoner’s side–“
Leonardo calmly eluded Anna’s angry gaze and tried to insult me again.
However, Anna had finished her chanting before he could realise and invoked her magic.
“Ice sword dance!”
At that moment, countless shimmering ice swords appear, and then, in the blink of an eye, they strike Leonardo.
“What? Gahh…”
Leonardo, unable to even move, was hit by Anna’s magic and quietly collapsed without uttering a sound.
“Allen! Allen! hold on!”
Anna’s worried face is in front of me.
Hey, don’t look like that.
Ah, but … it’s my fault? …
“Ugh, Anna, sorry.”
“It’s okay, hold on!”
Anna gently held my hand as I apologized for worrying her. I was covered in blood now.
“Anna, blood …… on your hands.”
“I don’t care about that. Don’t die! Hey! In a place like this! Hey! Allen!”
I know. I don’t like it either. But I’d rather this than Anna dying.
My vision gradually became blurred.
Oh, I thought this was a happy ending already.
I … I wasn’t careful again …
Anna’s voice becomes more and more distant.
And there is Anna’s crying face in front of me.
If the last thing I can see was Anna’s face, then that’s also possible?
Oh, but as expected I want you to laugh … is that not it?
Anna … I’m sorry …
