国を支えた聖女は只の人 そしてお子様は成長する
side:ルルア
私は、エルジュ様のおかげで一命を救われました。
いえ、本当に助けてくださったのはここのダンジョンマスターです。
今、この部屋には不思議な草の床にざぶとん?というものを敷いて、その上に座って机を囲んで、ダンジョンに住んでいる面々が揃っています。
「さて、ルルアを助けたまではいい。さてこれからのルルアの処遇だが...みんなの意見を聞こうか?」
この場の王とも言うべきダンジョンマスター...ユキといいましたか。
彼は噂に聞いた災害ともいうべき、魔王や真竜よりも伝説と言われるべき存在です。
『コール』とかいう、指定保護のスキルで二度程顔を合わせておりましたが、直に顔を合わせるのはこれが初めてです。
見た目は本当に普通の青年です。
ですが、彼は戦争か内戦に突入しようとしたロシュールとガルツ、リテアを救った人物でもあります。
かの争乱の落としどころを作り、多くの人命を救う案をポンと出した傑物。
だから、私は彼が言ったことが不思議でたまらなかった。
なぜ、他人に意見を求めるのかと?
「お兄さん?...えーっと、お兄さんはどうしたいのですか?」
彼が言っていた買い求めた奴隷だろう。
兎人族の彼女は彼の言ったことに疑問を覚えていたのか、問いを返します。
というより、なぜ奴隷にこんな発言をさせているのか?
「あー、俺の発言は一番最後だ。些か早い気がするけどな。ある意味丁度いい。ここから、俺は運営に関する発言は一番最後にする。ここは、君達に運営してほしいといっただろう?」
「はい、手伝ってほしいと...」
「俺が一番最初に意見を言ってしまえば、君達は俺に対して反対しにくいだろう?俺は君達に手伝ってほしい。それは俺の言った意見に沿って手伝うことじゃなくて、君達が感じた意見が欲しいんだ」
「しかし、それはお兄さんの望んだ事にはならないのでは?」
「ああ~、勘違いしてそうだな。ラッツ...いやみんなか、俺に助けられて、衣食住そろえられて、俺がダンジョンマスターで、今までの出来事から、俺がすることを全部正しいと思っていないか?」
「...今まではお兄さんが間違っているとは思えません」
「今まで上手くいっただけだ。そしてそれがこれからも続くわけじゃない。勘違いするな、俺は唯の人だ。間違ってしまうこともある。だから、君達に手伝って欲しいんだ。頼む、皆の力を俺に貸してくれ。意見を言うだけでも、意味がある。間違ったときには殴ってでも止めてくれ。最悪、殺してでも止めてくれ。この通り」
彼はそう言って、奴隷の前で深々と頭を下げます。
私は彼の発言に驚きを隠せませんでした。
上に立つものとして不自然なほどに低姿勢、これでは威厳が保てません。
国とは、王や象徴たる私が演じていた聖女が威厳を保ってこそ、成り立つもの。
威厳などない、統治者などは今までいたことはありません。
しかも、只の奴隷に頭を下げるなど。
これでは、奴隷が調子にのって好き勝手にやってしまいます。
「お兄さん...」
ラッツと言われた女性も私と同じ考えなのでしょう。
彼の発言に戸惑っているようです。
他の皆もどう反応してよいかわからないみたいです。
「...ユキさんと、お呼びさせていただきます。失礼ですが、ユキさんの考え方では国は成り立ちません。ダンジョンマスターたる貴方が道を示し導かねばならないのです。それが国の統治者として...」
私はユキさんの思い違いを正そうとしましたが...。
「ルルア、王など国にはいらない、いるのは代表だ。その国で生きる人たちを、守り、育み、意見に耳を傾ける代表だ。たまたま、今までは王が代表という形になっていただけだ」
「そんな事はありません!!王こそ象徴こそ!!国には必要なのです!!」
「その象徴たる聖女を、民の反発から降ろされた君がいうのか?」
「っつ!!それは、周りが手回しを...」
「君が意見を聞かなかった...把握を怠った結果だろう?」
「...」
「結果、あっさりその象徴たる聖女をすげ替えた。なあ、気が付いてるだろ?必要なのは聖女なんて言うお飾りじゃないってことを」
...彼の言う通りです。王や聖女は発言力が一番高いだけです。
家臣全員にそっぽを向かれては、それを王とは、象徴とはいいません。
「...王権とは、象徴とは...神聖なもので、法はそれに連なる血筋...貴族が行うべきなのです」
私は、なんとか彼に思いつく限りの主張をします。
そう、法はそれを行うべき人間がいるのです。
最初から、生まれた時から決まっているのです。
私のように、敬謙に神を敬い、修行を積まない限り、その座には決して届かないのです。
「はっ、笑わせるな。なあ、ルルア、それにエルジュ、君達の国は一体何年前、どうやってできた?」
「...?リテア聖国は、400年程前、当時疲弊していたレウス国の民に初代聖女様が救いを与え、レウス国を倒し、リテアが建国されたと聞いています」
「我がロシュールは、300年程前、一人の旅の剣士が荒廃したヒルニ国に辿り着き、人々を救う為、人々をまとめヒルニの暴君を倒し建国されたものです」
「言ったな。自分達の祖は只の人だと。自分達は貴族などの王たる血筋ではないと。他所からたどり着いた、よそ者だと」
彼が今まで言ったことが、頭の中に全て入って来たようでした。
「君達の国を作った人達は、人々を救った。導いた。どうやって? 聞いていたからだ。見ていたからだ。知っていたからだ。だから、救えたし、導けた」
そう、私達の国の祖は、只の人でした。
だから、その国の...いえ人々が求めているものが分かった。
「だから、俺は彼女達に頭を下げよう。彼女達こそが、奴隷、一般人、種族、その他諸々の事を知っている。見ている。聞いている。俺は彼女達こそ、ここで作るダンジョン村や街の象徴に...代表にふさわしいと思う。こんな俺よりよっぽど適役だ。自分が絶対などと、正しいなどと言い張るのは傲慢だ。俺には確かに君達が驚くほどの知識や能力があるかもしれない、だが、それだけだ」
彼はこう言いたいのだ。
特別な存在なぞ作るから、人々の意見が聞こえなくなる。
自分なんて、ダンジョンマスターなんて特別はいらないと。
只の人こそが、国の代表になるべきだと。
「あ、あ...ユキさんは、何を求めているのですか?その考えは、全ての人々が学を持たねば意味がありません。途方もない、夢物語です。そんな甘さでは国なぞ作れません」
そう、彼の言った只の人が国の代表になるというのは、皆が法を作る為の知識を持つということ。
只の人にそんな学はありません。
そんな学を、すべての国で生きる民に与えるなど不可能だ...。
だから、貴族などと限定した人にしか学がない。
だから彼の言ってる事は夢。
甘い、甘い、夢物語。
ですが、彼は私の言葉にあっさり返しました。
「甘さね。そんなことを言い訳にするとは、たかが知れているな。甘さの無い国にだれが近寄る? 夢も希望もない国にだれが集まる? 自分ができない事を「甘さ」なんて言い訳にするなよ」
私が絶句していると、彼はさらに笑顔で続けます。
「ルルアの言う甘さでできた国は、只の人が法に意見を言えて、多くの人々が関われる。きっと色々なトラブルもあるだろう。だが、俺はきっとその国は楽しいと思う。今よりも、きっといい国になる。と、言うわけだ。だからラッツ、君達の意見を言ってくれ。それとも俺が絶対たる王になるほうがいいか?」
彼はそう言い切ると、ラッツさんに向き直ります。
「...お兄さん、ご高説ですが...、なるほど私達がこれから忙しくなるというのは...」
「おう、これからほぼ完全にダンジョン村、街の運営すべて任せる」
「ぎゃー!?すさまじい事をさらっといいましたね!?素人ですよ、私達!?」
「まあ、そこら辺は分かってるから。会議の最後に俺が意見をいったり修正案や足りない部分を言ったりするわけよ。頑張れよ兎人族代表取締役」
「なんですか、そのふざけた役職は!? 意味は分かりますが分かりたくないです!!」
その他の多種族の女性達も目を白黒させています。
...なるほど、そういう意味があって同じ種族がいないのですね。
...これは、私などとは格が違う。
私こそが民を導かねばと今まで思っておりました。
その為に、懸命に神を崇め、学を付け、魔術を修めました。
ああ、そうでした。私は只の人が努力した結果です。
なぜそれを不可能と断じたのでしょうか。
...傲慢ですね。私が聖女の座を追われたのは当然でした。
「ユキさん。いえ、ユキ様。助けていただいた身で厚かましい限りではありますが、私の処遇につきまして意見を申してよろしいでしょうか?」
「へ?様? あ、まあ。ラッツ達はこの通りだし、言ってくれれば話が進むんじゃないか?」
「では、私をこのダンジョンでこのまま匿って頂きたいのです」
そういうと、混乱していた女性達が一瞬で静かになってこちらを見つめています。
「なにをふざけたことを言ってますか。今、ルルア様を抱え込むメリットはこれっぽっちもありません。お兄さんが私達の意見を求めるといったのです。ハッキリ言わせてもらいます。邪魔ですから、ここから出て行って外で死んでくださいな」
ラッツさんがそういうと周りの女性達も同意したように首を縦に振っています。
「な、なんてことを!! ルルア様出ていかなくて結構です!! ユキさん、そんな事はしないでください!!」
エルジュ様が私を庇うように前にでます。
「エルジュ様、この場で感情に沿った意見は意味を成しません。気持ちは嬉しいですが、後ろに下がってていただけますか? そして、よく見て、聞いてくださいませ。これが、私やセラリア様、アーリア様、ロシュール王が見せたくなかった世界です」
そういって、エルジュ様を後ろに下げます。
「ラッツ達は全員、君の保護には反対だそうだ。俺の一声を期待するな。自分でラッツ達を説得して見せろ」
ユキ様はお茶を啜りながらのんびりしています。
「そのつもりです」
ユキ様にそう返します。私だって伊達に国の代表をやっていたわけではありません。
「へえ、いいですよ。言ってみてください。ただし聖女とかリテアの高官でしたーなんてのは全然利点になりませんよ? 今のルルア様は暗殺されかけたのです。しかも護衛の内12人も暗殺に協力してたんです。これはリテア聖国に戻っても、もう復権は望めませんよ? 私でしたら、戻ってきても偽物として処理しますね。万が一戻れても周りは敵だらけ、いつ暗殺されるかわからない状況になるでしょうね」
ラッツさんはそれなりに学があり、頭も回るようです。
ユキ様が代表として頭を下げただけはあるのでしょう。
「確かに、ラッツさんの言う通り私は只の人です。そして私を知る人にとっては邪魔でしょう。そしてダンジョンで抱え込むには利点が無いように思えます。しかし、私が外で死ねば、あるいは万が一生きてリテアに戻ればこのダンジョンの情報を聖国に伝えます。それで匿ってくれなかったダンジョンに復讐を果たしましょう」
「なっ!?」
「ルルア様!?」
「私を匿ってくれるのであれば、ユキ様の指定保護を受けることを誓います。行動制限も、このダンジョンに関することも口にしないと制限していただいて結構です。そして、私が知りうる限りの、リテア聖国の内情、軍情報、政策などの事に答えることを誓います。お恥ずかしながら、私はリテアのトップに収まっておりました。ラッツさん達が、これから行うであろう運営の力になれると思います」
「い、いけません!! そ、それは国に対する裏切り行為になりますルルア様!?」
エルジュ様は私を止めにかかります。
「エルジュ様。聞いての通り私は、もうリテア聖国での復権はここを裏切ることでしか、それもごくわずかの可能性しかありません。ならば、どれほど無様であろうと生きる方法を取らせていただきます」
「ふむふむ、さあラッツ達はどう思う?彼女は自分はまだ役に立つと言っている」
私の先ほどの害となる発言もそよ風ほども感じていないようです。
私へのフォローをしようともしません。
ラッツさん達がここで私を殺すといえば必ず実行するでしょう...。
「...ここで殺してどっかの街に放り込んでもいいんですよ?」
「誰がそこまで運ぶのですか? それまで誰にも見られないとでも? ダンジョンに難癖をつけられる原因になりますよ? それが嫌だから、私を助けたのでしょう? そもそも、どこかに隠して運んでラッツさん達のせいとはばれないとして、そこの街はどうなるでしょうね? リテアとしては、そこの街を糾弾するいい理由になるでしょうね」
「なら、ここで殺して肥やしにしてあげますよ? ルルア様ならいいDPになるでしょうから」
「...っつ!?」
しまった。ここで私を殺してしまえば何も問題はないのだ。
なにか、なにか私が生きる術は...。
「ダメです!! 絶対ルルア様は殺させません!!」
エルジュ様が大声を上げてラッツさん達を威嚇します。
「そこの駄目聖女様は黙っててくださいな。今この場で貴女に発言権などありませんよ? わかっていますか?」
「あ、あります!! ルルア様を助けてくださるのなら、私からお父様やお姉さまに頼んでさらにここの強固な援助をお約束いたします!!」
「ほう? お兄さん、ロシュール国との詳しい援助の話はまとまっていますか?」
「いや、知っての通り出不精なんでな。詳しい話はセラリアがこっちに戻ってきてからだな」
「ふむ...駄目聖女様、いえエルジュ様。その約束違えればどうしますか?」
そういってラッツさんはエルジュ様を睨みつけます。
エルジュ様は足が震えております。仕方のない事です。このような、交渉事など今までしたこともないのですから。
「そ、その時は...わ、私の手でルルア様の首をは、刎ねましょう!!」
その言葉が私は理解できませんでした。
あの優しいエルジュ様が自分の首ではなく、私の首を賭けたのです。
「...自分の首を賭けるなどと言えば、一蹴するつもりでしたが...なるほど、腐っても王族なのですね。ふむ、ロシュールからの援助増大に、リテアの情報、万が一援助が増えなくてもルルア様を斬れば問題ない...助ける理由としては妥協点でしょうか。少々お待ちください、皆と話をしてみます。お兄さんの望んだように」
そうラッツさんが周りの皆さんと話をしだすとエルジュ様は震える体を床に沈めました。
「あ、あ、も、申し訳ございません。あのままではルルア様が...」
「いえ、エルジュ様。おかげでまた命を救われたようです。私だけでは、彼女達を説得できませんでした。これで、私が死ぬ事になってもエルジュ様を恨みはいたしません」
震えるエルジュ様の手を握ってお礼をいいます。
彼女が少しですが成長してくれました。ここで私が死んでも確かな意味がここにあります。
ラッツさん達の会議が終わったようです。
こちらにラッツさんが進み出てきて。
「わかりました。ルルア様をこちらで匿うことにいたします。しかし、少しながら、こちらからも条件を付けさせていただきます」
どうやら、私はなんとか生き延びたようです...。
The Holy Woman who became a commoner and the growth of the children
Side : Lulu
I was still alive thanks to Herge-sama. She saved my life.
No that's not right, the one who truly saved me was the Dungeon Master from this place.
Now, this strange room had cus.h.i.+ons over a mysterious gra.s.s1), should I sit there?. They were paved around a
(Yuki)[Well, it's good that we finally helped Lulu. Now that we're done with her treatment, what's everyone opinion on the matter.] 
The ruler of this Dungeon should be the one called the Dungeon Master, Yuki.
I heard legends about him. He was the one who brought disaster to the Demon King, a true dragon amongst men.
With the help of the skill he named {Call} , we were able to talk twice without seeing each other, but it was nothing like meeting face to face.
He looks fairly young.
Regardless of that, he was the one who stopped the civil war. The one who saved the losing country Roshuru from the invaders Gai and Ritea.
The one who created the plan that stopped this rioting. The one who saved many lifes in an instant.
Therefore, I didn't understand why he was uneasy.
Why did he ask for the opinions of the others?
(Lutz)[Onii-san?...Err, Onii-san what are you planning?] 
The person who said that might be one of the slaves bought by him.
The rabbit girl returned the question wondering as well what he wanted to know.
Rather, how could a slave make this kind of remark?
(Yuki)[At last we ended with that question huh...I think that it's slightly early. Nicely said Lutz. Hence, I will comment now that the operation had ended. Should I say that I had expected this developement?] 
(Lutz)[Yes, and I want to help...] 
(Yuki)[If I bring my opinon first, it will be hard for you to reject it, isn't that right?. I want you guys to help me. I don't want your opinion regarding what I said but regarding what you feel, alright?] 
(Lutz)[However, that isn't what you wish from us Onii-san, am I wrong?] 
(Yuki)[Oh~, my words were confusing. Lutz... Well everybody. I gave you food, clothing and shelter but I am a Dungeon Master, and from now on things will get seriously so, didn't you think that I was only doing that for my own convenience?] 
(Lutz)[... I don't think that anything you did until now was wrong Onii-san.] 
(Yuki)[Like you said, everything went smoothly until now. But I doubt it will continue. Don't misunderstand, I am only a person. Sometimes, I may be wrong. That's why I want your help. I ask everyone, please lend me your power. You can express your opinion here without worry. When I make a mistake, please hit me until it stop me. If its necessary, you may even do it until it kills me off. Like this.] 
After he said that, he bowed. it was towards the slave that he bowed.
I couldn't hide my surprise from what he said.
He was so low profile that he stood out, he didn't care about dignity.
To a Country, a King is a symbol. It was the same when I was a Holy Woman, I had to made a lot of things, everything in order to keep my dignity.
Until now, there was no ruler who didn't take their dignity seriously.
Something like bowing down to a slave is seriously unnatural.
In this place, the slaves are free to do whatever they want now.
(Lutz)[Onii-san...] 
The woman called Lutz probably had the same idea as me.
She seemed to be embarra.s.sed from his remarks.
Furthermore, the others didn't know how to react at all.
(Lulu)[...I wil call you Yuki-san. Forgive me Yuki-san but your way of thinking is not the one fitting for a country. You as the Dungeon Master should lead the way. Like the ruler of a country would do to his kingdom...] 
Altought I tried to correct Yuki-san's misunderstanding...
(Yuki)[Lulu, I don't want to become a ruler or something like a King nor a representative. Instead what I want is to be a typical person who lives in the country. I will protect it, nurture it and listen to everyone's opinions. Until now, the previous Kings have been symbols only by chance.] 
(Lulu)[That kind of thinking...You can't do that!!. The King is a symbol!!. It's necessary for a country!!] 
(Yuki)[You're a symbol too, the Holy Woman, didn't the people took it and use it for a rebellion?] 
(Lulu)[Huh!!. There was some circ.u.mstances, I was prepared to it...] 
(Yuki)[You didn't listen to other's opinions, as result didn't that happen?] 
(Lulu)[...] 
(Yuki)[In the end, the Holy Woman is barely a symbol that could be replaced anytime. Haven't you realized?. And the only necessity of a Holy Woman is for  decoration.] 
... It was as he said.The King and the Holy Woman just have the highest power of speech.
All the retainers opinion are ignored. The King is the only one as a symbol.
(Lulu)[... What about the n.o.bility?... And the persons from the church?, the law?, and the relatives by blood?] 
Somehow, I said everything I could think of.
Laws are something humans decided upon.
And it's already set from your birth.
Unless you don't respect the G.o.ddess unlike me and don't practice enough, there are things you would never be able to reach.
(Yuki)[You make me laugh. Hey, since when were the country of Herge and Lulu created?] 
(Lulu)[...?. The Holy Country of Ritea was formed 400 years ago. At that time, the people from the former country Reus were impoverished. The first saint took over the country and founded it anew. ] 
(Herge)[The country Hiruni was in ruins 300 years ago. To save the people from this country, a swordsman journeyed with other people, defeated the tyrant lord and founded the current Roshuru Kingdom.] 
(Yuki)[Like you said , their ancestors were commoners. They became rulers without being from a lineage of n.o.bles. They were strangers coming from some far away place.] 
All the things said by him came in waves into my mind.
(Yuki)[The people who made your country saved your people. Then, they used it...How?. Because they had heard how to do it. They had seen how to do it. And since they knew that, that's why they had the confidence to save your people and that's why they did it.] 
Yes, the ancestors who saved our country were free people.
Therefore, our countries...No, I understand what they where seeking with it.
(Yuki)[That's why, you and the other girls had to lower your heads. Then you met with slavery, commoners, family, n.o.bility and other things. Can you see it?. Listen, in my Dungeon I will make a village or a town which would be it's own symbol... And I think that representatives would be suitable to manage it. Many would be able to make a better job than me. I would be an arrogant if I say that I'm absolutely right. I only have some knowledge and abilities that may surprise some guys but that's all.] 
That was what he wanted to say.
He wants to make a special place where people can share their opinions.
Even though he is a Dungeon Master.
He wants the people from the country to become his representative.
(Lulu)[Err, emm Yuki-san, why do you have that kind of wish?. What is it that you seek?. If every man and woman had this kind of knowledge 2), then there would not be any meaning anymore in having our current society. It's a tremendous dreamlike story. There's no way such a sweet country could ever exist.] 
So what he wants to do is, to have the people from the countries with knowledge to become representatives and have everyone think about the laws.
A commoner can't know something like that.
And giving such knowledge to everyone from the other countries is impossible...
That's why the knowledge is only limited to n.o.bility.
Because of that, I said to him that it was merely nothing but a sweet dream.
A superficial story, just like in a tale.
But he easily answered back.
(Yuki)[Sweetness?. That thinking is only child's play. Just because n.o.body could think of that, such a country can't exist?. Does anyone not wish for a place where dreams, hopes, and where any person disregarding of their race and gender can express themselves freely, can such a country not exist?. The thing you are calling [Sweet]  is only a mere excuse.] 
I was dumbfounded. Yet, he continued further with a smile.
(Yuki)[In the over optimistic and sweet country Lulu is talking about, anyone can give his opinion and propose a law that would involve many people. That will certainly bring various hards.h.i.+ps along. However, I think that this kind of country would be fun. Even more, I'm sure that it will be a good Country. It goes without saying. Therefore Lutz give me your opinion. Do you think that a place where the King has become the absolute ruler is a good thing?] 
When he declared that, he turned his sight to the way Lutz was sitting.
(Lutz)[...Onii-san, it's an excellent opinion... With that we will become really busy from now on...] 
(Yuki)[I'm in the middle of making the Village or Town inside the Dungeon. I will entirely rely on you for the Management~] 
(Lutz)[Gya!?. You said an amazing thing so casually!?. We are amateurs you know!?] 
(Yuki)[Well, I already knew about that. In this meeting I will give you the specific parts and ask you to express your opinions. In the end, we will make amendments for whatever thing could be missing. To keep everything in order, I would have you from the Rabbit Tribe become the head representative.] 
(Lutz)[What is it with that crazy t.i.tle!?. I know what it means but I don't understand!!] 3)
The many women from the different tribes seemed to be surprised as well.
...Well, even thought they were from different species we couldn't see that here at all.
...They didn't feel different from my status either.
So far, I only thought that I had to lead people alone.
Because of that, I worked hard, wors.h.i.+ped the G.o.ddess and mastered my Magic.
Yes, it was like that. I became like this because of my own efforts.
Why is it that I thought it would be impossible, I just didn't know.
... It was arrogant. It was natural that my position as the Holy Woman was aimed at.
(Lulu)[Yuki-san no, Yuki-sama. Did you help me only because you wanted to hear my opinion?] 
(Yuki)[Eh?,Sama?. Oh, whatever. Lutz and the others, should we move forward with the City's talk?] 
(Lulu)[Even if I'm a stranger, I would like you to shelter me inside this Dungeon.] 
When I said that, everyone became quiet for an instant and the girls were looking towards me.
(Lutz)[You said something quite funny there. And now there is no merits for us to hold Lulu-sama here. I mean, Onii-san wants to know about our opinions. So I will say mine clearly... You are an absolute hindrance, please leave this place now, just go outsite and die ok?] 4)
When Lutz said that, the young women agreed, nodding with their heads.
(Herge)[What are you saying!!. Lulu-sama doesn't need leave!!. Please Yuki-san don't do such a thing!!] 
Herge-sama came in front of me and faced Yuki-san. She wanted to plead for my protection.
(Lulu)[Herge-Sama, our opinions and emotions don't have any value in this place. However, I'm really happy for your intentions, but can you fall back?. Please, listen to this carefully. This world is something that Seraria-sama, Aria-sama, and the King of Roshuru dind't want to show you] 
When I said that, Herge fell back behind me.
(Yuki)[Lutz and the girls seem to be against we protecting you. Even if I raise my voice, You will have to confront Lutz and everyone by yourself.] 
Yuki-sama was relaxed. He said that while sipping his tea.5)
(Lulu)[I had that intention.] 
I answered back to Yuki-sama. I wasn't the symbol of a country only for show.
(Lutz)[Hah!, then go ahead. Explain yourself please. However, I don't know how an official or the Holy Woman of Ritea could benefit us at all?. And Lulu-sama was about to be a.s.sa.s.sinated just now. Even 12 of your guards cooperated to try and a.s.sa.s.sinate you. What will you do once you reach back to the Holy Country Ritea?. If you go back now, you'll be handled as a fake. Even if you can return it would be a situation where you'll be surounded by a.s.sa.s.sins at anytime.] 
Lutz who seemed to be highly educated turned around to see me.
As expected of the representative Yuki-sama bowed his head to.
(Lulu)[As Lutz-san said now, I am a simple person. And I would go out of my way for the people important for me. I know that I would bring no benefit to this Dungeon. However, if I should go outside and die, the event until no and all the informations from this Dungeon, I will tell them to the Holy Country Ritea. Then I would accomplish my revenge against this Dungeon which didn't want to shelter me.] 
(Lutz)[What!?] 
(Herge)[Lulu-sama!?] 
(Lulu)[I swear that if Yuki-sama shelters me and gifts me with his Guardian Appointement, my actions will be limited and restricted only to this Dungeon. And I swear to answer about everything I know regarding the Holy Country Ritea, different informations such as the military and the laws. I am now ashamed that I was one of the top positions in Ritea. Also, I'm certain that I can help Lutz regarding the Management.] 
(Herge)[No, you can't!!. If you do that Lulu-sama, then you will betray your country!?] 
Herge wanted to stop me.
(Lulu)[Herge-sama. The fact that I can't return to the Holy Country Ritea is definitive. That's why it's not like I am betraying them. And if I don't do that, for how long would I be able to continue this kind of random life] 
(Yuki)[As for you Lutz, what do you think?. She says that she can be useful.] 
They didn't seem to react the same as they did when they said those remarks. But they don't seem to be as kind as a breeze yet.
I'd also like that they would follow up.
So if Lutz-san say that she wanted my death here...
(Lutz)[...To kill you here or to throw you outside, both are good options right?] 
(Lulu)[Would you go that far?. Do you really want to do that?. It could be possible that once they find me, there would be accusations against your Dungeon right?. Am I disgusting to the point where you don't want my help?. In the first place, even if you hide it Lutz-san and the young women, if by any chance the truth gets discovered, what would happen to this town?. For Ritea, it will become a good reason to condemn this place.] 
(Lutz)[If we killed you here, do you know that you would become a good fertilizer?. In your case Lulu-sama, I wonder if you will become a lot of DP~] 
(Lulu)[...Wha-!?] 
Oh no!. If they kill me here then they won't meet any problem.
Something, I must find something to stay alive...
(Herge)[That's no good!!. I'll never let you kill Lulu-sama!!] 
Herge raised her voice, threatening Lutz-san and the girls.
(Lutz)[The useless Holy Woman over there please fall silent. Now, you don't have the right to speak anymore. Do you understand?] 
(Herge)[I do!!. If you agree with me and help Lulu-sama, I'll see with Father and we will give you even stronger support!!] 
(Lutz)[Ho?... Onii-san, did you settle the affair with the country of Roshuru already?] 
(Yuki)[No, because we stayed here, so I don't know. We will get the details when Seraria arrives] 
(Lutz)[Ufufu, hopeless Holy Woman, Herge-sama. What will happen if you can't hold your promise?] 
Lutz-san said that and scowled Herge-sama.
The legs of Herge-sama where trembling. It couldn't be helped. Because the negotiations hadn't happened as of yet.
(Herge)[We-, well... that!!. If at that time we fail then!!. Lulu-sama's... by my owns hands I'll behead her head !!] 
I couldn't understand her words.
My head was not yours, kind Herge-sama. You can't wage it like that.
(Lutz)[...Going as far as betting her head, well it's a dangerous gamble because the members of the royal family are rotten. Hmm~, if Roshuru increases their support and if you give us information about Ritea I can compromise. But I don't know if Roshuru will hold their promise so...Please wait a minute, I'll talk with everyone. As Onii-san wished~] 
When Lutz-san said that, Herge-sama body sunk to the floor, s.h.i.+vering.
(Herge)[Huh huh, I'm so sorry. At this rate Lulu-sama will...] 
(Lulu)[No, Herge-sama. Thank you so much for trying to save my life. If it was just me, I wouldn't have been able to convince them. You don't need to hold a grudge againt yourself even if I die, Herge-sama.] 
I grasped Herge-sama's trembling hand and said thank you.
