The Magnificent Battle Records of A Former Noble Lady

It wasnt supposed to be this way. Thats right. It wasnt supposed to be like this.

I dont want this anymore!, Akari muttered while sitting down.

Even though it was sunny at daytime, the inside of the woods was quite dark. She embraced herself and tightly closed her eyes.

This is unbelievable! Im supposed to be the heroine, but, why is that woman acting so high and mighty? In the first place, who is that Kreutz even supposed to be? He never appeared in the game. That woman shouldnt have come out of exile, but, why is she making an appearance again? It shouldve been him who came along with Alhart! Why did it have to be that woman.!?

It was during that time when she was voicing out her complaints, the thick bushes nearby rustled.

Akaris body stiffened, but she braced herself to turn around and face the bushes for a few seconds. It was a person who emerged from the rustling bushes. Both their eyes and hair were a dark brown color. The person looked fairly average, with hair that went past their shoulders, which was haphazardly tied at the back.

They seemed to be a traveler, since they were wearing clothes that were easy to move in with a matching short dagger hanging from their waist. They were also carrying a slightly large bag which was slung from their shoulders.

The person blinked in puzzlement when they met Akaris gaze. However, it was hard to guess what their gender was.

Oh, Ummmwhat are you doing at this kind of place?

The voice that called out was neither high nor low, but even so, it was still hard to distinguish their sex with their voice.

I am Yuto. Yuto Alzeider. You are?

ItsAkari

What a beautiful name! Akari, why are you in this kind of place?

Yuto smiled and sat beside Akari who refused to answer.

Could it be that you arerunning away from somewhereor something?

!? H-How did you

Yuto laughed at Akari as she unconsciously raised her voice when he undoubtedly hit the bulls eye.

You see, Ive traveled around the world and have met a lot of troubled people. Thats why I understand. I see that you are also a troubled person who even ran away.

Well, isnt that just fine?

Eh!?

There are times when you want to run away and its okay, you see. You dont need to force yourself to do something that you cant or dont want to do. Instead, just put everything into the things that you can do

You donthave to force yourself too much

Correct. You should ignore the high expectations that other people have for you.

Akari blinked several times as tears started to well in her eyes.

UhHuh!? Whats wrong? Did I say something to make you cry!?

No, youre wrongIts justIm glad..

A lot of views changed since Akari went on this journey. To the king, prince, and the citizens of this country, she was the Saintess which they had placed their hopes on. The escorts who came along refused to protect her as Akari.

It didnt matter if she could do it or not. She simply had to.

Akari had been confused as she had never experienced such a cruel, relentless, and unforgiving world, but she was told to perform her duty even if it was against her will.

If youre saying that you cant do it and escape, then we will abandon you since we dont have any use for such a saint,they told her.

Not even one of them tried to comfort Akari. Thats why she was glad. She was absolutely glad because the kind words were not meant for theSaintess, but forAkari.

I

Thats why she thought she could talk if it was Yuto.

I see. So, Akari was the Saintess.

Yuto merely nodded when he learned about Akaris identity and what had happened so far.

I dont even have any special powersIm just a normal human being who came from a different world, but why do I have to risk my life and work hard for people I dont even know?

Certainly, the people of this country treated me well, butthats why

Of course, Yuuto simply agreed as she let out her dissatisfaction.

Those dark brown eyes of his looked kindly at Akari.

Youre doing the best you could. Its not like Akari doesnt have a special power. Your existence is special to this world. Thats why people probably expect a lot from you.

My existence is special?

Yes. However, your companions dont understand that. Thats why they can say mean things against you.

With athump,his words went straight to her heart.

I see. Im not in the wrong here. Its not my fault.

But, dont just settle and let those people think that youre useless

Is thatso?

Of course! You possess a very special power. I wish your companions could understand it. Then, they can see how truly great you are.

No, its not like Im..

As long as Yuto understands me.She couldnt put it into words.

They just met a few minutes ago. However, out of all the people she met from this world, Yuto was the only one who showed concern for Akari.

What a mysterious person. Akari had heard the words that she longed to hear, and it went straight to her heart before she even noticed.

Oh, Right! Lets both go and purify Rufhana village together. Then you could shock those companions who said they didnt need you.

Yuto and I?

Yes. I dont have the power to do the purification, but when it comes to using magic, I have more experience than Akari does. Thats why I could certainly be of use.

But if its purification, then, I

You can do it. Akari isspecialafter all.

If he says it with such a smile, then it seems like I can actually do it.

Then,..I guess Ill have to try.

Thats the spirit! Its okay if we fail at first! Lets do this together!

The words together made Akari happy more than anything else. Yuto would act for Akaris sake while keeping her in his thoughts. Akari thought that she could definitely do anything as long as Yuto makes her happy.

A dazzling light wrapped around and swallowed the whole of Rufhana village.

The light envelopes the black mist rising from the tainted land, becoming white, shining particles and disappearing into the sky.

Pretty

Thats right!

In front of Rufhana village, where Milliane had erected the dimly growing barrier of light, stood both Akari and Yuto who smiled and looked at each other.

Akari-sama*!

Ah, Tedla!

We were looking all over for you, Akari-sama. Did you do this? You were successful with the purification!?Whos this..?

The person who approached them was the breathless Tedla. After looking at the numerous light particles disappearing into the sky in wonder, Tedla becomes cautious and sizes up Yuto.

Are you Akaris companion? I am Yuto. Yuto Alzeider. I am a traveler.

I am Tedla Balratona. So, the one who did this was.

It was Akari. I merely lent her a hand. She is extraordinary after all.

..For the meantime, lets go back to where Syltina-sama and the others are and talk once were there.

I dont want to.

Akari-sama?

Akari brushed off the hand Tedla offered her and wrapped her hands around Yutos arm.

Why do I have to go back to those people!? Im going with Yuto!! Ill travel with Yuto and purify the land!

Akari-sama!?

Akari, thats a bit.

WhyIsnt Yuto a wandererIf thats the case, then he should be strong, right? If its Yuto, Im sure he wont lose to those demons! Yuto will take care of bringing the demons down, and I will purify the land. See? Isnt that a great idea?

.Akari, I think you should return to your companions for now. Ill go with you, too.

But!

It will be fine. I will be with Akari after all.

..Okay, Tedla breathed a sigh of relief when Akari finally agreed to go.
