Episode 135. Nevia Cromag (4)
After getting away from the guards, Nevia and I wandered around the town.
The streets were beautifully decorated with a variety of ornaments that people had put their heart and soul into.
As expected of a village holiday that has been passed down through generations, there was a lot to see.
I couldn’t resist snacking, lured by the tempting smell of street food.
‘It’s similar to Jenny’s time.’
“If you’re Jenny, you mean that blue girl? Why that guy?”
‘Don’t you remember?’
“What memory?”
‘Ah… that’s right. That was before I absorbed you.’
Since it was before the main event, Muto had no way of knowing.
There was a time when Jenny was feeling down and it cheered her up.
The situation then and now felt very similar.
‘That was already last year, time flies.’
『Next year, aren’t you going to be hanging out with other girls? Or maybe all together… Hehe!』
‘Be quiet. Words become seeds.’
The right answer is to ignore Muto, who always spouts ominous words.
And there was one more headache.
“Sister! Where should we go next?”
“ha….”
I stuck out my tongue when Nevia kept calling me “sister.”
“I wonder how long I have to keep calling you ‘sister’….”
“But still, her appearance and voice are just like my older sister’s.”
I almost punched Nebia in the face, who was giggling like a cat.
Let’s hold back for now. We’ve been sweating to save this guy, so we can’t let it all go to waste.
“But, sis, wouldn’t your friends be really mad if they found out I was hanging out with them?”
“Why are they angry?”
“Well… I guess we’ve completely fallen out. I had all the authority in the bodyguard, so do you think he’ll look at me favorably?”
Due to the instigation of the Royal Guard and Jason, the atmosphere within the academy is currently tilted toward Nevia.
Taking advantage of this atmosphere, Nebia is determined to have all the cadets under her wing.
“From now on, I will be further separated from those sisters. We will remain as sworn enemies who can never be washed away.”
The bodyguard commanded by Nebia is perfect in every way.
Since the time he entered school, he has monopolized all the popularity, and with his excellent grades and fighting skills, no one can match him.
It is to the point where the expression omnipotent is not an exaggeration.
A few words from them would have cadets flocking to their heels.
As the number of followers of the Royal Guard has increased, it will be easy to incite them.
“That’s why I told you to choose neutrality. Otherwise, you might get beaten up by those guys.”
It was only now that I could see who those friends were.
A park on the east side of town. There were always a lot of people there, but the young people in particular stood out.
They were Alighieri’s students.
They took advantage of the holiday season to widely publicize their candidate for president.
“Hello! Are you a tourist?”
At that moment, a female student in plain clothes approached.
She smiled kindly and handed me cookies and a drink from her basket.
“You two, eat this together.”
“thank you.”
“Are you sisters traveling together?”
“Oh, I guess so.”

“What were you doing outside?”
Nevia was the first to answer the cadet who asked again kindly.
“I learned how to use a sewing machine at school. How is it? It’s pretty.”
Nevia showing off the clothes she’s wearing.
Then I could see the cadet’s face flinching.
“Oh my… these are really nice clothes.”
It was obvious that the comment was nothing more than lip service.
This is the moment when it is proven that Professor Stella’s fashion sense is incredibly eccentric.
“Then what about your sister?”
“Yes? I…”
Nevia’s expression was clearly filled with anticipation as to what I would say.
If this person had a sewing machine, you can choose the one that is related to it.
I said this while holding my right hand on my waist and striking a pose that seemed to emphasize my body.
“I’m a clothing model for the target group. I’m 25 years old.”
“Phuhu!”
[Erosion rate reduction: -20%]
[+2000 Credits]
A lie that would require more than a thousand needles, or a hundred million.
Nebia heard that and spit out the drink in her mouth.
Moreover, the word ‘Target Group’ is a title that is only applied to the largest upper class of the Empire. For example, there is the Delaware House.
“Is that true? Welcome to Alighieri!”
The cadet who had been looking at me with respect for a moment soon moved on to someone else.
“This was made by Princess Mirona herself, so enjoy it.”
The girls also hand out cookies to neighborhood children, not just us.
You may wonder if it is really okay to just throw it away like that to outsiders who don’t have the right to vote, but from their perspective, there is nothing particularly bad about it.
Because it is suitable for publicity to let people know about their goodness.
“A direct model of the target group? You really are a notorious scammer.”
“Thank you for the compliment. But it’s easier to lie in this state.”
I took a quick look at the cookies in the clear bag.
Considering that Princess Miro’s cooking skills are said to be amazing, she probably made most of it herself.
But I didn’t eat it and just put it in my pocket.
“So this is how the beautiful princess increases her votes. Yum yum…”
“Swallow it all and tell me.”
As soon as Nevia received the cookie, she crunched it in her mouth and said.
If Mirona is conveying her feelings with such sincerity, Angela Pa’s followers and supporters must be joining forces to convey their will by now.
Both are candidates who are worthy of the title of ‘leading role’ and who appeal in a way that does not cause any inconvenience.
On the other hand, what about the ‘villain’ candidate’s method?
“Ugh!”
“Ouch, oh, oh, oh!!”
“Why is my body…”
Suddenly, people playing in the park started to faint and fall down.
“Cough! Cough!”
Nevia also showed similar symptoms, and was so surprised that she ended up choking on a cookie.
“This is no way…!”
Then, Nevia opened her eyes wide in shock.
While everyone else was suffering without knowing anything, Nebia looked like she had already experienced it once.
‘As expected… .’
All of the people who fell were holding cookies in their hands.
Anyone can see that the reason they’re groaning is because of the cookies.
I didn’t eat the cookie, but rather looked at it with my own eyes so I could tell what the symptoms were.
‘It’s a blood-linked insect.’
There were microscopic parasites inside the cookie.
Like the cerebrospinal fluid, the blood-linked worm causes various symptoms in the host, and if the worm fully opens its eyes, the host will have all of its blood sucked out and die.
However, since it is weaker than the Heavenly Bloodworm, it does not open its eyes in response to the perception of others.
“are you okay?”
“So-so… I felt unwell at first, but I’m fine now.”
Nebia has already been parasitized by a more powerful being called the Thousand Bloodworm.
A weak blood-sucking insect cannot enter the realm of a higher level.
Probably, the moment he set foot inside the body, he was completely eaten by the bloodworms.
“This is also….”
“….”
Nevia keeps her mouth shut in the chilly atmosphere.
We could tell who did this because they used the number ‘blood worm’.
“What’s happening all of a sudden?”
Then a girl with fluttering red hair came running to the scene.
Princess Mirona, who had come running with several knights beside her, was greatly shocked at the tragedy that had unfolded at the scene.
“Why… First, please look at the people’s condition!”
“yes!”
The knights quickly examined the condition of the fallen men and reported to the princess what they found.
“Oh, it’s a parasite!”
“Is it true?”
“Yes. It looks like everyone has eaten the cookies and been consumed, but it seems like it got into the ingredients when they were made.”
“That’s ridiculous. I’ve never put anything like that in….”
Princess Miro, whose eyes and hands were trembling at the same time, began to feel a great sense of guilt.
I still feel guilty about hurting the referee during the last joint training session.
I was about to be afraid that I might repeat the same mistake again this time.
“But the cookies weren’t made by the princess alone!”
“Aren’t there any cooking club members who helped out after seeing the princess’s dexterity?”
How can a little girl make that many cookies by herself?
Clearly, there has to be a culprit among the people who created it.
Because given her personality, the princess would never have done something like that.
“Oh my! This is really a situation I can’t stand to look at with my eyes open!”
Then someone appeared with the sound of clapping hands.
He always had a fox-like smile on his face as he led a group of cadets in plain clothes.
Nebia, who was watching the situation from afar, said in surprise.
“Slave? Why is that guy here…”
“It’s obvious. Why are there parasites in the cookies, and…”
Why did it suddenly appear at this timing? It’s a video even without watching it.
The parasite inside the cookie was also secretly put into the kitchen by Nevia Pa.
The slave waited until the same situation occurred.
And now that I look at it, it was a rather absurd scene. In the main story, Nevia also goes along with it and instigates people.
“So, you’re saying that you did it without my knowledge?”
But the current Nevia was unaware of that fact.
At the point when they left Nevia, the de facto leader, to move on their own, it was clear how miserable her treatment was.
In the main story, at least, he is manipulated like a puppet.
Kkadak-
Nevia shows her anger by gritting her teeth.
I never worry about people’s well-being.
He just resents the fact that the guards treat him like an invisible man.
“This is really unbearable. How can you feed people cookies that have parasites in them, Your Highness!”
Before he knew it, the slave was yelling at the princess again.
He looked very worried as he pretended to look at the people’s condition.
At his shout, the people collectively looked at the slave.
-Aren’t you the personal guard of Saint Nevia?
-Slave, the leader of the guard.
-awesome…
The cadets, unaware of the slave’s true nature, look up to him.
Even people who weren’t cadets fell in love with his beautiful appearance.
Now the whole atmosphere was tilted towards Slave.
“How could a princess do something like this to a citizen of the empire!”
“It’s a misunderstanding! I just wanted to see your smiling faces….”
“A smiling face? Are you saying that after seeing this situation?”
People who ate the cookies looked at me with increasingly resentful eyes.
Mirona was so aggrieved by this fact that tears began to well up in her eyes.
‘Everyone’s smiling faces… haha.’
It was a typical line from a kind heroine, so I couldn’t help but laugh at it.
For the naive and naive Mirona, a situation like this would be mentally unbearable.
“Everyone! Don’t worry, we will provide you with a cure for that parasite!”
People began to be impressed by his visionary actions once again.
Since they are root parasites, they will be able to cure themselves.
There is no better way to gain trust and popularity at the same time.
‘remedy…?’
Suddenly, Nebia heard those words and thought.
I was wondering if that treatment would be able to get rid of the blood worms, but unfortunately, there are separate treatments for the blood worms and the blood worms.
Since they are different grades as parasites, taking anti-parasitic medicine will not make the parasite disappear.
“Hey you! Stop talking nonsense! Where is the evidence that Princess Mirona did it?”
“Yes, how dare you try to instigate something like this!”
The knights, unable to bear it any longer, aimed the spears they were holding.
Then, rather than being intimidated, the slave raised the corners of his mouth.
“If there is evidence, there is.”
“What!”
“We knew you were going to do something like this, so we investigated in advance. That’s how we were able to discover it.”
A woman emerged from the crowd of slaves.
Mirona blinked her eyes as if she knew who the princess was.
“You are… the senior in the cooking club who helped make the cookies?”
“I saw the whole thing… the princess putting something strange in the cookies.”
People were quite shocked by her claim.
If that is true, it is because he abused his position to threaten people’s lives.
And the princess’s eyes were on the verge of losing all life.
“This is all a conspiracy! That woman must be a spy you’ve hidden on our side!”
“Are you saying such things without any evidence? You are a member of the royal family, and yet you are so shameless.”
“This guy!!”
The knights were about to lose their sense of reason at the slave’s humorous speech.
It was finally the moment when he tried to threaten with a spear.
Crunch-
“Stop it.”
The spear that was extending out was suddenly cut off.
And before she knew it, Mirona was holding a knife in her hand.
If the princess hadn’t cut the spear, the atmosphere would have gotten out of control.
“That’s enough now.”
“But Your Highness…”
“I know. That’s why I feel so wronged.”
Mirona returned the sword to the knight and said.
He had taken the sword from the knight’s waist without anyone noticing.
“No one will listen to me even if I do this. You know very well what kind of treatment I get in the palace.”
Just walking would earn him contempt from his enemies, and if he picked up a sword, he would only be called a monster.
“Even if I have to turn everything upside down, I’d rather it end without anyone getting hurt.”
As expected, she is a princess who is innocent and in love.
The slave thought so and laughed inwardly.
“What the Princess did today will be passed on to the Imperial Family… Boom!”
But the slave could not finish speaking.
That’s because I got hit in the face by a sudden flying kick.
bang!-
The slave was thrown into a cart full of event supplies. Everyone was terrified at the sight, and I was terrified too.
“Isn’t it better to end it without getting hurt?”
A strangely rustic outfit with a rabbit hood.
Anyone who saw that childish-looking girl was none other than Nevia.
“I’m not some kind of fool.”
Nevia, who strengthened her body with buffs and kicked the slave.
She looked at the timid princess with pity.
