Pawahara Seijo no Osananajimi to Zetsuen Shitara, Nanimokamo ga Umaku Iku Yō ni Natte Saikyō no Bōke

[Staff Saintess VS Spear Saintess]

“……Kukuku, I see. It appears that our Saintess-sama over here is very good at getting on others’ nerves.” Arca said with a tone of anger in her voice, unlike her usual laid-back self.

Of course, she’d be angry. After all, a person she’d met for the first time just called her a dirty woman.

As I’d thought, saintesses all had a screw loose in their heads…

As my face twitching up, the arguments between the two were heating up.

“You sure said something weird. I just stated the fact as is. You’re just an unseemly and depraved sex-maniac who has failed her role as a saintess.”

Eh, wasn’t that worse than before!?

Or rather, that was too far, wasn’t it!?

Look at Freyr-sama whom you guys had been ignoring completely; she’d been all shook up since a while ago, ya know!?

“Hou? Then you must be oh so innocent and pure, aren’t you?”

“Of course. I’m proud of myself as a saintess, and I work hard every day to fulfill that role for the good of the people. All my life is devoted for the sake of everyone who lives in this world. I’m different from a certain someone who lives only for her own pleasure.”

“I see. So, you’re saying that a saintess must not live for herself because she is the hope of the people?”

“Yes. Which is why I hate you. Thank you for coming all the way over here for the residents of Algren, but I have no intention of fighting alongside you.”

“Is that so? I understand.” Nodding quietly, Arca turned to me and said, “Exa, let me show you something interesting.”

“Eh?” As I blinked in confusion, Arca lightly pulled out the Holy Spear on her back.

Don’t tell me, she wanted to start a fight here!?

“H-hey, Arca!?” I tried to stop her in panic.

While looking in front of her, Arca said, “Don’t worry, just stay still and keep your eyes open. I’m sure you’re going to love it.”

“No, even if you say so…”

“Good grief. You know you can’t win by words, so now you’re trying to use force? What a really barbaric person you are. Sigh…” Magmell sighed, seemingly tired.

Looking at her, Arca grinned and, “——Humph.”

Clonk! She hit the floor with her spear.

For a while, silence wrapped the surroundings.

…Huh? Nothing happened. I tilted my head and thought, but at that moment, it happened.

――Whoosh!

“““““——!?”””””

Except Arca, everyone there, including me and Freyr-sama, became wide-eyed.

It was natural.

After all, Magmell’s long skirt – her iron wall – was suddenly flipped up.

And I ended up seeing it.

Magmell’s underwear, who gave off the appeal of an innocent and pure girl, was quite sexy and cute.

“K-kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!?” Naturally, Magmell held down her skirt with a bright red face.

Looking at her, Arca said with a daring face as if to payback everything that had been said to her. “Oh my? Looks like our Staff Saintess-sama is wearing an extremely thin underwear but, didn’t she say that she didn’t live for her own pleasure?”

“Y-you…”

Grit, Magmell gritted her teeth in vexation.

Turning her back to her, Arca said, “Now that I’ve vented out my feelings, shall we go? And pardon me for the commotion, Castellan. Well, just think of it as a simple greeting between two saintesses and rest your mind at ease.”

“Y-yes…”

“Of course, you can leave the monsters to us. After all——”

——Pull.

“Uoh!?” My arm was pulled by Arca.

And she said with a confident face, as if she believed what she said from the bottom of her heart. “My dear husband is the strongest man in the world— stronger than even saints or saintesses. Even if all monsters in this world were to be his opponents, he’ll never lose.”

◇ ◇

As soon as we left the castle, Arca burst into laughter. “Hahaha, it was a sight to see.”

“A sight to see, you say… Putting aside Freyr-sama, that Saintess was so red that she looked like about to explode…”

Recalling the enraged Magmell who had screamed “Saintess Arcadia! I’ll never forgive you! I’ll pay you back for this!” just before we had left the throne room, my face cramped.

Then, Arca puffed up her cheeks and said a little sullenly. “She had it coming to her. Who told her to call our relationship ‘dirty’? Wasn’t it infuriating?”

“Huh? Then, could it be…” She was angry because of that?

……Crap, what do I do?

The feeling of wanting to hug her welled up inside me.

“Ah…”

But then Arca would definitely get ahead of herself, so I just patted her head with all my gratitude.

“Thanks. Your feelings made me very happy.”

“……Umu.”

――Pat pat, pat pat.

““…..””

So awkward!?

Please say something!?

Finally unable to bear it anymore, I tried to stop patting her.

But.

“H-hold on. Please keep doing it some more…”

“O-ou…”

At Arca’s looking up at me with pleading eyes, I kept patting her head gently for a while.
