Lucia, going on a journey (part 1)

 

I unconsciously raised my face at His Majesty words.

 

It is the first time I got to see His Majesty from up close, somehow he had an extremely worn-out expression on his face.

 

“That is all. That you are able to make the monsters obedient. It would be best to leave one guard to escort you, to prevent any danger because of demon.”

 

“Your Majesty, she is only a young girl. Please assign at least one soldier corps …..”

 

“No, to assign many war potential to a young girl, I think there will be an objection. Save the trouble. Now, the war potential were already reduced, if the castle is attacked at the second time, we will be losing everything. Considering the defense of this place, not only do we not have to send someone too strong, our numbers would not significantly decrease. If the saint rejects the help of the maids and soldiers, I think she would be good without the help of this lady though…. Florid, I entrust this selection task to you. So that there will no harm towards her, choose a person who can also be helpful to the previous crown prince and others. Miss, quickly make preparation. Being a help for the saint, also helping crown prince. Everything is for the sake of the country.”

 

I, who had my head down, has not been able to say anything.

 

Now, what I could comprehend from the speech was, I was chosen as an additional member for Saint-sama’s purification journey.

 

That will be a very big honor…..but, honestly, it is scary.

 

I mean, even though it was that scary when the monster attacked, do I still must have this scary thought? Although I have ‘soap’ power, that doesn’t mean that my safety is guaranteed.

 

I am an ordinary person. I only carry small peculiar power in my hand, I couldn’t grip a sword, also couldn’t chanting attack magic or healing with restorative magic.

 

I wonder if the ordinary me could perform as a comrade?

When I thought about it, my anxiety became worse.

 

Honestly, I am thankful there is a reward. I don’t know how much the reward is, but it should be able to clear off my debts. But I never heard such a thing like a mere washing lady becoming their comrade!

 

….but, the course of event that happen to me now, Saint-sama in the past must had faced with similar decision.

If that was the case, then now I have no choice but to made my resolve to do it.

I secretly heaved a sigh. I was a bit gloomy.

 

In the middle such, I suddenly thought about Saint-sama.

Does she already accustomed to battle? Or, like me, does she thought it was scary?

 

—Saint-sama. I don’t know what kind of person you are, but if I get to meet you, I want to hear about your situation. Then, if she stressed out because of scary thought like me, I will support her. I am, as the person of this world, is it arrogant of me to consider that I would be helpful?

 

“Miss Lucia, you can go back to chivalric order lodging house. I will accompany you”

 

That is right, even if I am scared, I am not in the position to become weak.

I made an oath to give my best in that way. My departure couldn’t be avoided, I will hang on as far as I could!

 

“Yes!”

I have faith that the journey is connected to the bright future, I looked up straight ahead.
