“The fourth message is for Mother Lyushenne. ‘Lyushenne Silveria Wahl would have met her end at the Princess Auction. A naked corpse, choked to death and covered in filth, destined for an unmarked grave. But you were found by Hal Harem Von Raymond, and you must lead the Western Nations to peace alongside Elizabeth Camila Espagna, fulfilling your duty as a Maiden of the Sword. Do not grow complacent, but strive diligently. By the way, Elizabeth has also been absolved of her karma through her death and resurrection.’ he said.”
“There was no mention of my large breasts being an obstacle to swordplay. I wish these large breasts would just fall off already… How tiresome.”
“For me… to be a Maiden of the Sword! I’m somehow happy about that!!”
“Lady Lyushenne, is it not possible that ‘Maiden of the Sword’ simply means you are a descendant of Sarinand Waiyar, the so-called Hero of the Sword, and thus the rightful heir to the Wahl Imperial Kingdom?”
“That might very well be true. Thank you, Liliana. Come to think of it, Elizabeth was also brought back to life by Hal-sama, just like me.”
“No, I am just glad to have been of assistance. If that is the case, then I too have completed my purification through death.”
Kirika, who spoke first, grumbled about the lack of any divine words concerning Lyushenne’s large breasts.
It seemed that the flat-chested Kirika was envious of the busty Lyushenne.
Mai, who usually agreed with her, remained quiet, perhaps due to the influence of the recent divine words.
Meanwhile, Lyushenne, the one concerned, reacted to being called a Maiden of the Sword.
Perhaps her pride as a master of the rapier had been stimulated.
And Liliana’s explanation seemed to hit the mark.
Furthermore, there were indirect divine words for Elizabeth, who was not present.
If the empresses of the old and new leading nations of the Western Nations joined forces, they would establish an unshakeable regime.
“The fifth message is for Mother Swan Hilda, who is not here. ‘Regarding Swan Hilda, I have heard the circumstances from her Valkyrie sisters, so I will omit further details. She is currently undergoing rigorous training while spitting blood.’ he said.”
Even as a lesser deity, it seemed there were no divine words for Swan Hilda, who was a Valkyrie.
However… the Valkyries’ training sounded harsh.
It seemed she would need to be comforted upon her return.
Edele, her cousin, was relieved to hear about Swan Hilda’s current situation.
Seeing Edele’s reaction, Eria also smiled.
“The sixth message is for Mother Kirika. ‘Kirika Turyuka Kamiyar should have been consumed as a sacrifice by a frog monster and met her end. You must restore the Kamiyar Holy Nation, a vital transportation hub. If you pledge your allegiance to me, I will grant you favorable treatment… Also, lamenting your small breasts is unsightly!’ he said.”
“What peculiar divine words… Does this mean I should abandon my country’s religion and pledge allegiance to the Asgard Holy Church?! And regarding my breasts, if they were to grow larger, I might consider it…”
The Kamiyar Holy Nation, Kirika’s homeland, was known as a religious state with a unique national faith.
They also offered sacrifices to monstrous beings like the frog god Jigū-sama, who granted worldly benefits.
Kirika, who was offered as a sacrifice to Jigū-sama, survived, while the other royals were executed by the Espana Imperial Army, who invaded after we defeated Jigū-sama.
When I previously asked Kirika if she wanted to return to her homeland, she was undecided. What are her current feelings?
In any case, the Kamiyar Holy Nation is located at a crucial point connecting the Western and Southern Nations, so Kirika will have to work hard.
“The seventh message is for Mother Tirna. ‘Tirnan Lian von Tuser, you too were originally destined to be within the stomachs of depraved foreign merchants. You must risk your life to aid Lyushenne Silveria Wahl. Furthermore, you shall pass on your skills to Harem=Ain Mimi Raymond,’ he said. Wha-what about me!?”
“Lady Lyushenne, Tirna and I seem to be bound by a strong bond. I will continue to rely on you hereafter. Still, I wonder what Tirna’s skills are?”
“Lady Lyushenne, your words are too kind. I shall continue to serve you with all my heart. By the way, what should I teach Ain?”
“After deep consideration… it seems to be cooking and the making of secret elixirs, Mother Tirna.”
“I see… I will teach you strictly. The darkness of the Wahl harem is very deep.”
“Please be gentle… Mother Tirna.”
“I envy the bond between Lady Lyushenne and Tirna.”
“Oh, but Liliana, you have the charming and capable half-sister Yuliana. I, on the other hand, have a good-for-nothing brother who only drags me down… I need some sort of handicap.”
The divine words for Tirna seemed to have deepened the bond between her and Lyushenne.
Liliana, seeing this, became envious, but Lyushenne rebuked her by pointing out the existence of her half-sister Yuliana.
Incidentally, the three of Lyushenne, Liliana, and Tirna are good friends.
Originally, Sophie was supposed to join them, but she has too many behavioral problems.
Furthermore, it seems Ain will become Tirna’s disciple.
Although Ain wished for magic skills when changing her race to human, it seems Lady Lucialurei intends for her to inherit Tirna’s duties as well.
In that case… Ain will be studying under Elise and Tirna.
This might be quite challenging.
However, with Tirna present, the food situation in the ‘Princess Harem’ has greatly improved, and her knowledge of pharmacology has also been useful.
This consideration is welcome for me as well.
“The eighth message is for Mother Edele. ‘Edele Jung=Fern de Desmonia, you too were originally destined to die by the sword of someone from the Hero Party. Your survival has rewritten the fates of many. As a descendant of Azarii Desmon, the Hero of the Shield, your duty is to restore the Northern Nations!’ he said.”
“Uh, my stomach suddenly hurts.”
“Lady Edele, you have it hard too.”
“What are you talking about, Eria? You are also involved!”
“I am merely a former high-class young prostitute. Moreover, I have never once visited the Northern Nations in my life.”
“I was just a mere foot soldier in the former Demon Lord Army…”
It seems Lady Lucialurei intends for Edele to unite the Northern Nations.
Originally, this great task should have fallen to Princess Jumilande, the only daughter of Demon King Gandaro and a direct descendant of Azarii Desmon, Swan Hilda. However, since she underwent a race change to Valkyrie as the successor to her mother, the Valkyrie Hilde, the responsibility has fallen to her cousin Edele.
The situation in the Northern Nations, currently ruled by demons, is unknown. However, once the demons are driven out, it should return to human inhabitation.
But will the subjects who will welcome Edele and Eria be there when that time comes?
“The ninth message is for Mother Freya. ‘Freya Diva Banadis, it may seem that you were originally destined to become a fallen slave and be executed after being broken. However, as you were originally the cherished child of your ally Aquaanar, you have faced many hardships. You shall scatter the ‘Pokkoriko Priestess’ and bring order to the Southern Nations.’ he said… Eh, Mother Elise, stop glaring at me! Ain is just relaying Lady Lucialurei’s words.”
“Ain… practicing magic is fun. Do you know the proverb ‘The mouth is the source of misfortune’?! Be careful of stray bullets from behind ♪”
“Mother Elise, I am merely a messenger… Forgive me, your dear disciple! Gya, gib, GIB!”
“As expected of Elise! ‘Pokkoriko’ that is officially recognized by the goddess! Incredible, *chuckles*.”
“That’s right… indeed. *Chuckles* Freya will handle the Southern Nations!”
“This irresponsible fox needs to be punished too. The Kingdom of Sazania is the enemy who destroyed my homeland.”
“It hurts! It hurts! Freya! Forgive me…!”
When the words ‘Pokkoriko Priestess,’ referring to Elise, appeared in the divine words for Freya, Elise scolded Ain and then attacked him, threatening him with joint locks.
Did the word ‘Pokkoriko’ strike a deep chord in Elise?
Afterward, Ain wisely apologized profusely to Elise.
At that moment, Freya muttered a follow-up remark, and then, with Schaela reaffirming Lady Lucialurei’s words, a battle broke out between Freya and Schaela.
Schaela writhed in agony as Freya grabbed her fox tail.
“The tenth message is for Mother Dietlinde. ‘Dietlinde Tinde Tintaal, you were originally destined to become the Queen ruling the Tintaal Kingdom. However, you met your demise due to a cruel twist of fate. As atonement, I shall grant you the title of ‘High Elf.’ From now on, you shall lead them as a superior race of Elves.’ he said. By the way… the joint lock Mother Elise applied earlier hurt.”
“Wha-what, the ‘High Elf’ title I jokingly suggested has been officially recognized by the gods! This is a joyous occasion! Now, somehow, we must increase the number of ‘High Elves’!”
Dietlinde beamed with joy.
The surrounding party members responded with applause.
“That perverted, big-breasted elf is a ‘High Elf,’ a superior race of Elves?! Heaven is full of idiots! We do not recognize them!!”
Meanwhile, Holy Spirit Serena, hiding behind me, grumbled.
Well, the fire spirits who love Dietlinde and Holy Spirit Serena do not get along.
Furthermore, Dietlinde and Holy Spirit Serena seem to be like natural enemies.
Although I had been informed of this beforehand, seeing Dietlinde’s joy made me happy as well.
Thank you for reading.
