The World of Otome Games is Tough For Mobs - Volume 7 - Chapter 7

Volume 7 - Chapter 7 - A Fight Between Sisters

Meeting room in Einhorn.

The main people involved in the battle are present.

The poor baron friends were lined up against the wall, feeling uncomfortable.

After all, Julian and other nobles were in the same room.

Also, there was a foreign princess, Louise, and Noelle, who is actually the priestess.

Angie and Livia were next to me, and from the boys' point of view, it's like they're shoved into a room with people of higher rank.

In addition, there were a number of additional people who are related to the six great nobles, such as Emile and his fiancee Lelia, orphaned daughter of the Lespinasse house … they were nervous about the difference in status.

-    Don't we look out of place?

-    I wonder why we are here with His Highness?

As Daniel and Raymond talked, I looked at the map of the Republic that he had placed on the table.

Again I confirmed the situation.

-    Well, everyone in the Republic has been stripped of their emblem byYumeria.

If you looked at Louise, you would see her pale with concern for her family.

Serge has captured Mr. Alberg and her mother's safety was unknown.

-    Many of the Republic's weapons are used by drawing their power fromthe emblem. The same is true of aircraft and armed units. The army of the Republic has been practically neutralized. They are not hostile, but they are not on our side either.

The army of the republic, which depended too much on the Sacred Tree, was totally useless in such a state of emergency.

In the first place, it was probably not thought that all nobles could have their emblem stolen. - It would be nice if they didn't get in our way. The only enemies are Serge and the others.

It was then that Lelia stood up after hearing my comments.

-    Wait a minute. Are you guys really going to fight Serge?

It seemed like she was still so confused that she couldn't keep up with the situation.

Then, Emile admonished Lelia.

-    Lelia, what Serge did is unforgivable.

-    B-But! There must be some reason why he is doing this! I-If they hadn'tcome to this country, Serge wouldn't have done any of this.

The way Lelia looked at us was filled with hatred.

She seems to think that if we hadn't done what we did, Serge would not have started this revolution. ... You are correct!

... But that was also Serge's choice.

-    I'm sorry, but can we talk about these hypotheses later? We are trying tosee how to save Yumeria.

-    Y-You're the worst. How can you be so calm in this situation?

-    Will someone help me if I panic? Will Serge forgive me if I cry?

When I returned my answer, Lelia couldn't reply and lowered her head.

I'm sure she understands, but emotionally she can't forgive me.

Noelle was holding Lelia's hand and squeezed it.

"Get hold of yourself." -Nee-chan?

-    This is all Serge's responsibility. Don't blame Leon and the others.

From the point of view of Noelle, who knows nothing, Lelia's words sounded terrible.

However, from my point of view and Lelia's ... we have a previous life, and we know the truth of this world.

From this other point of view, we cannot say that we are not at fault.

Therefore, I felt a lot of responsibility for the current situation.

From the point of view of Noelle and the others, they probably see it as irrelevant.

I clapped my hands hard and returned to the subject.

-    Well, that's enough. Since we don't have much time, I'll explain ourstrategy. For the time being, we are going to enter the Sacred Tree Temple and rescue Yumeria.

Brad was holding his forehead with his hand, as if his head ached from my opinion, which couldn't be called strategy.

-    That's not a strategy, right? If Serge's story is true, then Yumeria is thepriestess of the Sacred Tree, right? I'm sure he would try to desperately protect her, right?

-    Do you think he has time to keep track of everything? If we grab her andgo, you just look back and wave “Bye-bye.” - Do you think that is going to work?

-    I was successful in the last operation when I beat them up.

-    You really do talk a lot.

If we're going to save Yumeria, we won't be able to move in a conspicuous way.

When we save her ... It only remains to follow the flow of battle.

Julian, concerned about my operation, sighed and tried to extract the details.

-    We'll have to find out the details ourselves. Even with the difference innumbers being too large, we will do our best to achieve it in one fell swoop.

We will also go out with our armed units.

Julian was motivated, but Jilk shook his head at that.

-    No, it is dangerous, His Highness will be waiting here.

-    Eh?

Greg also nodded with his arms crossed.

-    You are the prince, aren't you?

-    N-No, that's true, but ...

Julian freaked out when they told him that very reasonably, but it seems like he wants to fight everyone.

If I tell everyone to do it, they will obey. What honest guys.

-    This, if only just for participating, will have a great impact in the future.

You should not participate.

Chris told Julian to stay on hold.

Julian, who was stopped by everyone, hunched over and nodded sadly.

◇

The women stayed in one room while Leon and the others began to prepare.

Due to the uncomfortable mood, Cara started whispering to Marie.

-    Marie-sama, I'm scared. I am really scared. They are already arguing!

-O-Oooh, calm down. I'll stop them if they get too bad!

The cause of Marie's anxiety was due to the twin sisters, Lelia and Noelle.

The two of them were fighting each other in the room.

Angie and Livia were watching silently. Rather, they were worried about Leon and discussed with each other.

Louise was here too, but she maintained an attitude of not getting involved. Therefore, Marie thought that they were the only ones who could stop them if something happened. Lelia and Noelle grabbed their clothes and started arguing.

-    You don't know anything about me, so stay out of it! It doesn’t haveanything to do with you, Nee-san!

-    It doesn’t have anything to do with me? Why doesn't it have to do withme !? I really hate that you treat me like that!

Marie wanted to hold her head.

I can understand how Lelia feels since we are both reincarnated, but don't take it out on Noelle! First of all, Noelle is involved!

There was a coup in the republic. It was hard to say that Noelle wasn't involved. After all, Rachelle's Holy Realm had launched an attack to kidnap Noelle.

Noelle would obviously be mad if they told her it had nothing to do with her.

But ... Lelia also had her own opinion.

If one were to wonder if Leon and Marie had nothing to do with this, that was not true. Serge was partly responsible for this, but it would not have happened if they had not come to the Republic.

If Leon and Marie hadn't come to the Republic, Lelia wouldn't have tried to obtain Ideal

... Well, it would be problematic to be told that we are unilaterally bad.

At the same time, Marie also felt responsibility for Lelia.

She, like Lelia, was careless.

She ignored Noelle's opinion and made a mess of pushing for her to join Loic with her unnecessary meddling. However, she ... formed a loving relationship with the kind and prudent Emile.

If we had not come, we would not have been trapped in the face of the coup.

However, Noelle also seemed unhappy with Lelia. So Marie decided to just watch them.

Angie and Livia seemed to feel the same way as Marie too and decided to watch as well.

Lelia started complaining about Noelle for what she had been doing up to now.

-    You are the only one who has always been special. You are the only onewith the power of the priestess. I was always an extra. You were always in the center. And I was the one who had to put up with it. Do you have any idea how much I've endured? And yet you're always so carefree ... It bothers me just to look at you!

She didn't say it in words, but it seems like she always saw Noelle being at the center of the story as the main character.

Marie seemed to be able to understand her. Looking at Livia, she was discussing something with Angie. "Are ..." "You can leave it to Leon." And looking at the twins, Noelle's appearance changed.

-    ...When have I always been in the center?"

-    What are you saying when it is you with the aptitude of the priestess? Itmust be great, huh. Someone always helps you. If you have a problem, the boys will be on your side. Even when the Loic thing happened, Leon saved you. It's like you are the main character in the story.

It could not be said that she was the main character of the second of this otome game, so she had to rephrase it to the protagonist of the story.

Noelle shed tears when she heard it.

Then she grabbed Lelia's side ponytail.

-    I-It hurts! Let go!

-    Don't joke ... Don't joke with me !!

Noelle's loud voice hurt Marie's ear, and she covered her ears with her hands. Noelle didn't care about the people around her and took all her frustration out on Lelia.

-    Aptitude of the priestess? That? I did not want that! It means nothing tome. You always had what you wanted! You have taken everything from me and now you are playing the victim!

Noelle shook Lelia so hard that she felt weak.

-    L-Let go of me.

-    You are always like that! You have always been very intelligent andclever, and everyone around you has always loved you. Do you understand how I feel after being compared to you all my life? You never understood my feelings, ever ... I've always been your scapegoat!

When Noelle started to get more upset, Marie jumped in and tried to separate them.

—Stop iiiiiiiitt!!

When she pushed Noelle to the ground, the two parted ways.

Lelia gasped and sat on the floor. Then, little by little, the anger started to rise ... she got up and walked over to Noelle.

Noelle also stood up and tried to resume the fight, to which Marie desperately tried to stop her.

-    Noelle, calm down!

-    Let go! This is something I won't forgive you for. Why does she say thatshe endured a lot when she was the one who had many things that I did not get? I'm the one who has endured a lot!

When Lelia jumped on Noelle and tried to resume the fight ... Louise grabbed Lelia's hand as if to say that she couldn't keep watching anymore.

-It's enough. Enough of being loud. I'm worried about my family, but if you want a sister fight, do it elsewhere.

Lelia, who was told that coldly, looked at Louise with an intense gaze.

-    Family, you say? If they hadn't cornered Serge, this would not havehappened. You act like you don't care, but you are also responsible.

When Louise narrowed her eyes upon hearing her, she squeezed Lelia's arm.

-So, what do you know? You think Serge didn't do anything to me?

-    It was the duty of a family to accept him.

-    You are a stranger and you speak lightly about the circumstances ofothers. Has Serge said something to make you feel better about yourself? You really are stupid for listening to his words.

-    Only the bad guys are good on the outside.

-    ... Lespinasse family people are annoying. I dislike Noelle, but I hateyou.

This time, a fight between Lelia and Louise was about to start.

Marie was about to cry.

I understand how you feel, but don't fight! I feel like my stomach will explode!

Marie was jealous of Leon, who left the room quickly. She was sorry she didn't come out of this room saying that she could help herself.

So ... maybe reaching the limit of her patience, Angie unleashed her intimidation.

-It's enough.

Lelia turned around and made a "Haa?" Voice, but when she saw Angie's face, she immediately looked away. If Lelia looked like a bully, Angie looked like a mob boss.

-    I don't know and I don’t care about the cause of your argument, but nowis a critical time for Leon and the others. If you make noise and get in Leon's way, I'll take care of you myself.

Marie could see an illusion of flames on Angie's back. That burning flame rising like a mane seemed to be Angie's temper.

Livia looked at them coldly.

-    When this is all over, you can fight all you want. Just shut up for now.

Leon and the others are not going to have it easy.

Unlike Angie who looked like water ... sometimes calm, sometimes scary.

She gave off such an atmosphere. Livia was scarier when angry.

Marie nodded with all her might.

Then Noelle, who was being held, began to cry.

-I also. I also wanted to be loved.

Hearing that voice, Marie looked at Noelle's face.

-Noelle?

◇

The strategy I thought of with Julian and the others was like this.

A fleet with allies led by Einhorn would storm the Sacred Tree Temple!

After that, the armed units will invade from within and take back Yumeria. At that time, I also want to release the six great nobles that may have been captured.

... If they are alive.

Is it possible that there is a 50-50 chance?

Louise was also worried and I wanted Mr. Alberg to be alive.

We will transfer the women to Licorn and they will wait behind.

I can't let them fight or anything like that.

As I returned to the Einhorn Bridge, I noticed that Julian was missing.

-Hey? Did Julian go to the bathroom?

Jilk, who put on a pilot's suit, turned his gaze towards the door.

-    He was depressed because he won't be able to go out with us. He was saying he would move to Licorn.

-    Did he lose motivation and go loafing in the rear? He still feels like aprince.

-His crown prince status has been stripped, but he is still a prince. Count Baltfault, you should be more aware of His Highness's position.

-    Isn't he an idiot who cheated on a woman and abandoned his crownprince status? I recognize him as an idiot, so it's okay.

-... Were you taught that you must also be careful even with allies on the battlefield?

This bastard, are you going to shoot me in the back?

While saying such nonsense, Luxon looked towards Einhorn's deck.

[Master, Loic is here.]

-Eh?

◇

When I went on deck, I met Loic there.

Loic, who boarded in a small boat, was preparing to fight for some reason.

-    Count Baltfault, I want you to let me fight too.

-    Isn't Marie in the back of the boat?

-    I-Is that so? No, no. I also want to fight with you.

Greg heard his words and for some reason felt very uncomfortable.

He walked over to Loic and grabbed him by the chest.

-This is not a game! You, who cannot use the power of the Sacred Tree, will only be a hindrance!

I was surprised by Greg's threat, but it was certainly tough getting Loic involved. The nobles of the Republic are extremely weak without their emblem. Loic was training, but he is only as good as an ordinary soldier.

To give gifts to the girls in the Kingdom of Holfault, there is a difference in the ability of us who vomit blood.

Still, Loic didn't back down.

-    Even if I’m not useful ... I can at least serve as a shield for you!

-    Eh?

-    I ... I was saved by Nee-sama. Also, I am quite familiar with the internalstructure of the Sacred Tree temple, so I should be a good convenience for you as well. Please let me help!

Certainly, with Loic the assault inside the temple would be facilitated.

Greg turned his gaze to me, so I nodded and he released Loic.

Greg scratched his head and turned his back on him.

-    Do what you want. Of course, Marie will be sad if you die, so don't die.

-    I thank you all!

They are rivals since they like the same woman. However, Greg told Loic not to die. Is this a luxury a handsome guy can say? I'm jealous and confident that I'll never be able to say the same.

I decided to loan Loic the armed unit Julian used to use.

That would save Loic's life.

-    Loic, you can use the spare white unit.

-    ... Thanks. Now I can fight too. I was frustrated that you were involvedin the rebellion of the Republic and that I could not do anything about it.

It seems that he is thinking of various things in his own way.

When I was impressed, a nostalgic ... no, a guy from a long time ago showed up.

-    Long time no see, guys!

Upon landing on deck, Julian ... No, it wasn't him.

It was a man who called himself the Masked Knight. I met him before when we were at war with the former Principality of Fannoss in the Kingdom of Holfault.

As usual, he has the suspicious appearance of a cape and mask, and has great guts to carry himself with complete confidence.

Chris drew the sword from his waist and Brad prepared a magical fireball in both hands.

-    The masked knight!

-    Why is this guy in the Republic !?

The four who were seriously wary pointed their weapons not knowing that he was Julian. Even his foster brother Jilk, who grew up with him from a young age, pointed his gun at the masked knight.

Loic was blinking and didn't understand what was happening.

Luxon asked me to take care of this.

[This charade again? Why don't you tell them who it is?]

-    I don't want to get involved. Also, those five guys may be enjoying thischarade, right? Better to leave it like that, when you just watch from afar and laugh.

When I think of Marie, who has to take care of these guys who repeat the charade, I feel sorry and at the same time I think "You deserve it!".

At least I hope you entertain me.

The masked gentleman approached me.

-    It's been a long time, Count Baltfault.

Hey? Are you talking to me like that all of a sudden?

-    Y-Yes.

-    I've heard the enemy outnumbers us. I will give you a hand even if it isof little help. I'd like to borrow an armed unit. Do you have the white unit His Highness Julian wears?

He really is a guy who comes at a bad time.

I explained to the masked gentleman that he was displaying a relaxed demeanor as I looked at Loic.

-    Oh, impossible. I promised to lend it to Loic just now.

Loic was suspicious of the masked gentleman. Well, it would be difficult to know the true identity of the masked knight with the little relationship between this guy and Julian.

-That's how it is. If you have nothing to do, go home.

-What are you saying!? That's my unit!

-    No, isn't it the property of Count Baltfault? And what do you think youdo with that strange mask on? Take off your mask and say your name.

Julian was given good reasoning, but he couldn't call himself a masked gentleman if he retired just because of that.

-    Can't you see there's a reason why I can't tell you my name? CountBaltfault, that white unit is not suitable for him. Let me ride it!

It was Julian's request, but I must ask Loic to show us the way inside the temple.

In order of priority, there is no way to leave Loic out of this.

-    Give up and come to the bridge with me. I'll get you a cup of tea.

-    What the hell do you think I came here for? Let me fight!

◇

The place they moved to was the Einhorn hangar.

Jilk was watching Loic open the cockpit hatch and make adjustments to Julian's white armed unit.

-    Still, I'm in awe of Count Baltfault. Since with these numbers he is goingto wage a war against the Republic.

It was Brad who pointed out Jilk's mistake. He pointed to the enemy and the number.

-    The opponent is a rebel army, and in terms of numbers, there are 200 aircraft. We have a good chance of winning.

-    Isn’t that a difference in strength of more than 6 times?

-    The purpose of victory is to save Yumeria? After that, if you escape therepublic, they won't be able to chase you. After all, the republic's weapons are for defense only. If you leave their country, they cannot fight.

Because they used the power of the Sacred Tree, they would weaken if they left the republic. It was a statement made with that in mind, but this time Chris disagreed.

-    If the opponent also has the same performance as Luxon, I think it wouldbe strange if they didn’t have the ability to fight outside their country.

-    Guh! Yes, that's true, but Luxon said there were chances of winning. Iam sure there is also a secret plan.

-    Isn't it better to say you don't know instead of just showing off?

Brad was silent when Chris said that, but this time Greg, who was not satisfied, opened his mouth.

-    You two should focus. This time they will be with an enemy who is notto joke.

Ideal, a lost item just like Luxon, was on Serge's side to help him. Greg and the others had experienced Arroganz's power firsthand. So they understood the horror to come.

Then, Leon's voice was heard from Arroganz.

The cockpit hatch was closed and Leon could not be seen.

-    You guys rattle and you're very loud! You make noise like children.

Shut up for a bit!

Jilk was stunned by Leon's foul-mouthed voice.

-    You really are unpleasant.

-    Shut up and be my bullet shield.

The words heard from Arroganz made Jilk and the others irritated.
