side:ルルア
私が自分の姿を見せるとエルジュ様、セラリア様、オリエル従士は目を見開きました。
『ルルア様!? な、なぜこのような所に!? いったいリテア聖国で何があったのですか!?』
『ちょっと待ちなさいルルアが解任!? なにそれ、上層部の連中なに考えてるの!?』
『ルルア様、あなたのような方が解任などと、そんな馬鹿な...』
3人とも私が聖女を解任されたことに驚きを露にしています。
「はい、私はもう聖女ではありません。上層部の意向で、一応リテア聖国では名ばかりの役職はいただいておりますが。これが今回の原因と言える話になるでしょう」
そう私が言うとみんなが静まります。
その不躾な質問で空気が凍ります。聖女をそこいらの家畜や食料みたいに量産って罰当たりな。
『ユ、ユキさん!? だ、だめです!! そ、そんなルルア様に失礼なことを言っては!?』
『ユキ、さすがに聞き捨てなりません!! エルジュ様にしても、ルルア様にしても並ぶものなどいない聖女の名を冠する、人々の希望に対して量産などと!!』
『いや、この時点で量産してるじゃん。最低あと1人は現在いること確定してるんだろ?』
ユキと呼ばれた彼がそう言い返します...いや確かに唯一無二であるはずの聖女ですが...確かに現在3人はいますね...。
『...ルルア、今聖女の名を冠しているのは誰? 3大貴族から?』
セラリア様、さすがに鋭いです。エルジュ様のことになると周りが見えないのが玉に瑕ではありますが、決して何も考えていないわけではないのです。
「はい、セラリア様の仰る通り。今聖女を務めているのは3大貴族の「リテルアーソン」家の長女「アルシュテール」様です」
『ち、あの気位の高いお嬢様か。本人は全く自覚がないでしょうが体のいい傀儡でしょうね』
「...はい、あの人本人は決して悪い方ではありません。しっかりと聖女様としての資質、それに対する努力をしっかり積み重ねられている方です」
私は沈黙でしか返すことができません。アルシュテール様がもう少し成長していれば今回のことは防げたかもしれない...いや、人に責任を擦り付けてはいけません。知っている私が頑張らなければならないのです。
「すまん、このお嬢ちゃんがリテア聖国の聖女ってのは、俺も冒険者やってた時に実際見たことあるからわかるんだが、3大貴族ってのはなんだ?」
聞き手に回っていたモーブさんが疑問を口にしてきた。確かに、そこの辺りは冒険者や他国の人にはなじみがないだろう。
「はい、3大貴族というのはリテア聖国建国時に、偉大な貢献を残した人たちの名家です」
『リテア聖国は宗教国家って言われてるけどね、その実態は、その3家が政治の舵をとってるのよ。そりゃね、ぽっと出の聖女様に癒しの力はあっても、政治能力はないだろうからね』
『適材適所ってやつよ。聖女はそのカリスマと癒しで民草の心をまとめ、そのまとめた力を3家を中心に国の政に使うのよ。ま、何事も例外はあるけどね。そこのルルアは、歴代の聖女様の中で特別って言われるほどよ。正直にいうけどリリーシュ様から直々に聖女を賜った、エルジュよりもずっと上ね。聖女としても、政治家としてもね』
『そうです!! ルルア様は私の目標なんですよユキさん!!』
『いや、やっぱり量産されてんじゃん。歴代って言ってるし。聞いた感じ推薦の襲名か? と、話がずれてるな。すまない、ルルアさん。俺も大体予想はついてるが結論を言ってもらえるか?』
そうですね、リテア聖国の話はまた今度にするといたしましょう。まだ今回の件は終わってはいないのですから。
「はい、今回の件はリテア聖国がエルジュ様を亡きものにする為になされたものです」
『わ、私!? どういうことですか!?』
『エルジュそれはね、あなたがリリーシュ様に聖女の名を祝福されたのが問題なのよ』
「そうなんです。実際のところただのリテア上層部の嫉妬ではありますが、民の動揺を考えるとあまり好ましくない事態なのです」
『しかし、ルルアの話をきくまでリテア聖国の暗躍は考えてなかったわ。けど話を聞けば納得ね、リリーシュ様を信仰しているリテア聖国としては、今回のエルジュが聖女になった件、面目丸つぶれよね』
「その通りです。自国内でもう1人聖女が生まれたのならまだよかったのですが、それが他国となると...」
『大問題ね。民達は今頃どっちが本物か、いやリテア聖国を疑っているものさえいるでしょうね。宗教国家の問題点ね~、実際にリリーシュ様が降りてくるとは思わなかったでしょうし』
セラリア様がそういうと一旦みんな口を閉じる。各々で情報をまとめているのか思案顔である。
『そっちが来た経緯と、今回の大本は分かった。だがほとんど後手だったな』
「はい...私が今回の件を聞いてリテア聖国を単独で出奔し、この王都にたどり着いたときにはもう、エルジュ様は行方不明。セラリア様は誘拐。どうしていいかわかりませんでした。まさか、ロシュール内と繋がって王族を今回の件で全員暗殺しようなどとは」
『なるほど...な、どうなんだろうな。不幸中の幸いというか、モーブ達と出会って王様に忠告と護衛ができたってわけだ』
「ああ、まさか街中で絡まれていたお嬢ちゃんが、リテアの聖女様とは思わなかったがな」
しかし、本当にこのユキと呼ばれた彼は一体何者なのだろうか?この場には普段ではお目にかかることできない人達ばかりいるというのに。だが、彼の行動はさらに私の予想を上回っていた。
『で、そろそろ出てきたらどうよ? というかこの場にいないなら、もうこの国は終わったも同然だがな。ロシュール陛下にアーリア王女様だっけ? もう見極めは済んだだろ、こっちのエルジュにセラリアは無事だ』
「っ!?」
私は言葉を詰まらせます。なに!? この人は本当に何者なのですか!?
「...失礼を致しました。私はアーリア・ラス・ロシュールと申します。エルジュやセラリアの事、心よりお礼申し上げます」
「...私がロシュール6世である。ふむ、流石というべきか?今回の護衛の話、そなたからの提案だったと聞き及んでおる」
『お姉さま!! お父様!! 私は、エルジュは無事でございます!!』
『お姉さまよかったわ、だがそこのクソ親父は死んでればよかったと思ってるわ。配下に噛みつかれるなんてね最悪よ!! こっちがどれだけ苦労してるとおもってるのよ!!』
『いやまてや、今回の一番の功労者はどうみても俺だ、セラリア、てめーはここにきて、食って寝て起きての繰り返しだろうが』
『お風呂も入ってるわよ!!』
『そういうことが言いたいんじゃねえよ!! セラリアわざとやってないか? 鋭い時との落差激しいぞ?』
...国王陛下の前で王女を呼び捨てにしての口喧嘩、し、神経が太い? いや、も、もう。あわわ!?
「あら、セラリアはいい殿方を見つけたのね。あなたがそうやって話せる相手なんてそうそういないものね。エルジュと私ぐらいじゃないかしら?...大体その前にボコボコですからね」
「...セラリアとの関係はあとで問いただすとして、一つ聞きたい。そなたは何者だ?ここのルルアも知らぬ、モーブ達は教えようとはしない。これからの事を話すにもそれを教えてくれぬと、わしとしても困る」
『ちょっ!?お姉さま私はこいつとそんな...』
『はーい、エルジュ、オリエル頼む。で、俺の正体ね...』
彼はようやく私達にその正体を明かしてくれた...その正体は...。
『この事件に巻き込まれた、可哀想なごく一般的なダンジョンマスターであります』
その一部は勇者や魔王、そして国を凌駕するほどの力を持つという、災害とも言うべき伝説であった。
「「「えええぇぇぇぇぇええええ!!」」」
Side : Lulu
Herge-Sama, Cellaria-Sama and their retainer Oriel widened their eyes upon seeing my appearance.
(Oriel){Lulu-Sama!? Wh,why on earth would you be in a place like this? What happened inside the Holy Country Ritea?} 
(Seraria) {Hold on, Lulu dismissal!? Wait ? What happened inside the brains of the Higher-ups?!} 
(Herge) {Lulu-Sama, someone like you got dismissed? How can it be?! Such foolishness!!} 
The three of them were heavily surprised upon knowing my dismissal.
(Lulu) [Yes, I'm not a Holy Woman anymore as per the will of the Higher-ups. The t.i.tle I used to have is now merely a name. You can say that it's the cause of the current discussion.] 
Everyone became silent as I said so. However, this man was able to swiftly break the silence. Who is he really?
The Air froze at the sudden and impudent question. To ma.s.s produce Holy Women like they were mere livestock, can be seen as an evil and blasphemous act incurring punishment.
(Herge) {Yuki-San?! You can't!! To speak about such heresy to someone like Lulu!?} 
(Seraria) {Yuki, this definitely can't be ignored!! Herge-sama and Lulu-sama are people who bear the name of Holy Woman and holds the hopes of many. To even consider ma.s.s producing them!!} 
(Yuki) {No, this is a matter of fact. Look, isn't there someone who can prove it here?} 
The man called Yuki denied them firmly... Holy Woman should be a unique existence... But, in fact, we are three of the same kind present here.
(Seraria) {... Lulu, as the one now ent.i.tled with the name of Holy Woman, she is serving under one of the Three Great n.o.ble Families?} 
As expected of Seraria-Sama, she's sharp. Even if you can't see it when she's around Herge-Sama, it's not like she never thinks after all.
(Lulu) [Yes, it's as you said Seraria-Sama. The one bearing the name Holy Woman is [Arushtell-Sama] . The eldest daughter of [Literuason] , one of the Three Grand n.o.bility ] 
(Herge) {Such a prideful young mistress, she might not understand all of her responsibilities, but she should be doing a great job as a puppet with her alluring body.} 
(Lulu) [...I agree, although she's not a bad person. To qualify as a Holy Woman, One must have enough willpower and brings an appropriate amount of effort.] 
I can only offer silence as an answer. If Arushtell-Sama were able to grow a little more... she mights be able to stop the situation this time. No, I should not push the responsibility upon someone else... I must do my best.
(Mauve) [I am sorry, I already know about this Young Lady and the fact she is a Holy Woman, since I already saw her during my time as an adventurer, but what are the Three Great n.o.ble Families?] 
Mauve-San, after only listening since the start, asked this question. To know about the Three Great n.o.ble Families is unlikely for an adventurer who belong to another country.
(Lulu) [The Three Great n.o.ble Families from the Holy Country of Ritea are three well known families due to their contributions during the foundation of the country.] 
(Herge) {The Holy Country of Ritea is a religious state. The Holy Woman, although she has the power of healing, it's only an appearance. The one holding all the power in politics are The Three Great n.o.ble Families.} 
(Seraria) {The right person for the right job. The Holy Woman settles the heart of the citizens, meanwhile the Three Great n.o.ble Families manage the country. But there is always an exception. Lulu over there can be considered a special case within the history of the Holy Women. Taking into consideration the fact she got bestowed her Holy Power directly from Lily-Sama, she is of an even more outstanding status than Herge.} 
(Herge) {Tha...That's right!! Lulu-Sama has always been my goal Yuki-San!!} 
(Yuki) {Iya, it is a matter of ma.s.s production after all... Although you're from a successful generation, can you explain the feelings of someone who successfully inherited the name of Holy Woman? Oups.. I once again changed the subject. Lulu, can you please tell us about the conclusion?} 
That's right. Let's move the subject for the next time I'll aboard the subject of the Holy Country of Ritea. Because the previous matter was not explained yet.
(Lulu) [Certainly. This matter was performed by the Holy Country of Ritea to insure Herge-Sama's death.] 
(Herge) {M..me!? What do you mean!?} 
(Yuki) {The problem lies within your nickname as Lily-Sama's Holy Woman.} 
(Lulu) [That's right. It's mostly due to the jealousy of the Higher-ups. Even though it was a bad situation if we think about the uneasiness of the population.] 
(Yuki) {However, I didn't suspect that the scheme was planned by the Holy Country Of Ritea before hearing the story from Lulu. Herge becoming a Holy Woman has certainly made them loose a lot of face.} 
(Lulu) [Although it might be fine if more than one Holy Woman were born in their country, if they were to be born in another country...]
(Seraria) {It's a great problem, something one the line [who is the genuine one ~?]  would be spoken by people. In fact, For Lily-Sama to descend should not be a matter for a religious Country isn't it?} 
After Seraria-Sama said that, everyone closed their mouths. As they received all the new information, they displayed a face full of thoughts.
(Yuki) {I now understand the circ.u.mstances. On the other hand, they were one step behind.} 
(Lulu) [As soon as I learnt about this matter, I directly escaped the country and Came here in order to save Herge-Sama. But she was already missing. Altogether with Seraria-Sama, they already got kidnapped. I did not know what to do anymore. I did not think that this matter would be later on a.s.sociated with the a.s.sa.s.sination of the Royal Family.] 
(Yuki) {Let's see... It mights be a blessing in disguise. We can send Mauve and his party to advise and guard the King.} 
(Mauve) [I did not think that this young lady I found within the Town Centre could be the Holy Woman from the Country of Ritea.] 
Still, I really wanted to know who is this person called Yuki. This place is full of unusual and important persons, but his behaviour is exceeding my expectation even further.
(Yuki) {So how about you get started already? Actually, if not for you being in this place, this country was already virtually done. The King of Roshuru and Princess Aria was it? Don't worry, Herge and Seraria are safe here.} 
(Lulu) [Hue!?] 
I couldn't speak, the words couldn't go throughout my throat. What!? Who is this person, really??
(Aria) [I was being rude. I am called Aria * rasu * Roshuru. For saving Herge and Seraria, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.] 
(Sixth King of Roshuru) [This one is the sixth generation of Roshuru. Should I say as expected of you? This one heard from conversing with these guards, this proposal came from thou.] 
(Herge) {Onee-Sama! Otou-Sama!! I, Herge, is safe!!} 
(Seraria) {Onee-Sama, I am glad that you are safe. As for this d.a.m.ned Old Man, he should die already. Getting bitten by your own subordinate in your sleep is the worst !! Think about the hards.h.i.+ps we had to endure here!!} 
(Yuki) {I was the one who suffered the most this time, b.a.s.t.a.r.d Seraria!! The only things you did since coming here are sleeping and eating!} 
(Seraria) {Geez... I take baths too.} 
(Yuki) {That's not what I am talking about!! Seraria, are you doing this on purpose? Should I beat your head in shape?} 
He is quarrelling with the Princess in front of the King without even using honorifics, how... how strong are his nerves? Mor, Moreover shameless... Huhaaaa!?
(Aria) [Ara, Seraria found herself a good gentleman. For someone to be able to talk to the like of her, isn't something common. Wasn't it actually only Herge and Me before? ... You used to beat them all.] 
(Sixth King of Roshuru) [You can ask Seraria about their relations.h.i.+p later. This one wants to know first. Who are thou? Lulu doesn't know and Mauve's Party won't tell me. If you don't tell me now, this one will be troubled.] 
(Seraria) {Wait !? Onee-Sama, between us there is no such...} 
(Yuki) {Waaa, Herge, Oriel, please help. As for who I am ...} 
Finally! He will reveal who he is! As for who he is...
(Yuki) {I'm a pitiful Dungeon Master involved by incident in this event.} 
Someone who can defeat a Hero or the Demon King, someone who has the power to destroy countries, someone called a disaster.
