Chapter 7

"Starting today, I am Rose Snow, the former Holy Maiden. Please guide and discipline me!"

"Ah, I've heard about you. Well, do your best. And don't forget your will."

In my plan, our meeting was supposed to be like this.

After all, even Lady Guilty is one of the soldiers.

No matter how strong she is, she should have to follow orders from the higher-ups.

Even if she rejects me at first, we would gradually become friends and eventually trust each other...

That was my expectation.

But what happened in the end?

I was turned away.

...

...

...

...

Damn it, I won't give up! I want a sweet life alone with my favorite person!

"Lady Guilty, can you please open the door?"

"..."

Ignoring me, huh? I see.

"Well, I have no choice. I'll come back later."

With a sigh, I sat down right there.

After all, I have nowhere else to go.

If I sleep here, I'll surely run into Lady Guilty when she returns from her mission.

"...Hey, what are you doing?"

She must have sensed that I had no intention of leaving.

The sharp-witted Lady Guilty slightly opened the door and looked down at me.

I turned to her and said,

"Since Lady Guilty won't let me in, I thought I'd camp out here."

"Fool! You'll catch a cold if you sleep out here!"

"But I have nowhere else to stay."

"There's a guest house."

"I don't have any money."

"...This is a military base, you know. There are a lot of rough men around. If a woman like you is here..."

I covered my mouth and let my eyes well up with tears, exuding a tragic aura.

"Since Lady Guilty won't let me in, I have no choice. As a woman, I'll be thrown out into the military base, left to the mercy of the cold night, and end up being kidnapped by some unknown man, becoming an outlet for the lust of rough men... oh, oh, oh..."

I glanced up at Lady Guilty.

Ha~! How noble! I can't even look at her face directly!

"...Alright, you can come in. Just to stay."

"Si, thank you so much!"

Yes! I can enter Lady Guilty's house!

I carried my luggage inside, and the warm living room welcomed me.

It welcomed me, but...

"A bit messy, but don't mind it."

D-dirty...!

This is way beyond "a bit"!

There are piles of dishes in the sink, and the pots are caked with grime!

The shelves are covered in dust that hasn't been cleaned for months.

There are even spider webs in the corners. Seriously, this is...

"It's dirty, isn't it?"

"...It's just a bit messy."

"It's more than a bit, isn't it?"

"..."

I can't hold back my thoughts.

Even with my favorite person, I won't lie; this is my "second chance."

"Anyway, let's get to the point."

My favorite person, who seemed slightly irritated, said.

I laid a handkerchief on the dusty chair and sat down.

By the way, my favorite person didn't sit down and leaned against the door.

"As I said earlier, I want to join Lady Guilty's squad."

"I refuse. I don't need any comrades. They're just a hindrance."

"Are you going to ignore the military transfer order?"

"I have the Marshal's approval. The higher-ups just sent you here without considering the field's will."

"Then, the Marshal, who is under the higher-ups, will not follow the order?"

Muuu. She looked extremely displeased.

With a temperature colder than absolute zero, my favorite person said,

"I hate Holy Maidens. Especially one who is rumored to be a villain."

"..."

I see. The rumors have already spread this far.

I tried to come here as soon as possible, but... well, it doesn't matter now.

The important thing is that this favorite person is unexpectedly stubborn.

No matter how much I whine, she won't allow me to join the squad.

Indeed, Lady Guilty has the strength to indulge my whims.

"That's all I have to say. I'll inform them, so you should return to the church."

Lady Guilty opened the door and gestured for me to leave.

She looked as noble as a gentleman escorting me, but her eyes were cold when she looked at me.

"Phew..."

Well, there's no helping it.

Even in my "first time," I was only saved by Lady Guilty.

It's understandable that Lady Guilty, who doesn't know about that, would be distant from me.

...In my "first time," I would have given up like that.

But not anymore.

I've decided not to hold back anymore.

If I leave now, this person will die in two years.

She will fall into the Church of the Sun's despicable trap, betrayed by her allies, and meet a tragic end.

I can't allow such a noble hero to die like that.

...I will definitely save you.

Plan change. Course correction. Future prediction. Adjust, adjust, adjust.

After a lot of effort, I deeply exhaled.

Unfortunately, I have to give up on the sweet life with my favorite person.

Well, it's fine. It was an excessive hope.

My benefactor taught me to maintain an appropriate distance from my favorite person.

Instead, this Rose Snow will get serious.

I'll show her behavior befitting the name "villain."

"If you're not leaving, I'll use a transfer spell to force you to—"

"–Lady Guilty, would you like to have a match with me?"
