But she knew that these people just wanted to control her and turn her into a tool to bewitch the people. Just because they found the sacred power in her, they said she was a Saintess or something. It was really annoying. It made the relationship between her and Zadkiel very strained during this period, which made Astaroth, who was watching the show, roll around on the ground happily. She was happy to see her old rival accidentally get shot! It was her just desserts for always occupying her cute MASTER.
"No, Her Highness the Saintess, please don't say that! Our Pope sincerely welcomes you to visit our Heggs Empire. We didn't expect that Her Highness the Princess was actually within our borders. Now that we have unexpectedly met you, may we invite you to visit our Religious Order? We will treat you with the highest courtesy." The priest put his hands together in front of his chest and invited Yoshino with a very sincere attitude. However, Yoshino could hear the unquestionable tone in his voice. She knew that if she refused, they would resort to force.
"Are you threatening me? Or are you saying that you think you can forcibly take me back just because the members of Red Wings aren't by my side?" Yoshino frowned and looked at the priest. She keenly noticed the faint malice on this guy's body. He was planning to forcibly take her away if she didn't agree.
"No! No! No! How could I threaten you? It's just that the Magical Beast Forest is too dangerous. It's too dangerous for Her Highness the Saintess to wander around here alone. I'm just suggesting that you go back to the Heggs Empire with us first. We will send someone to inform the members of Red Wings to pick you up." The priest still said respectfully. It was true that, as Yoshino said, he wanted to forcibly take her away because he saw that there were no Red Wings members protecting Yoshino. In their eyes, Yoshino was just a Little Loli with healing abilities, who had such powerful magic power but didn't know how to use it.
"Oh ya~ Oh ya~ This uncle's mouth is so good that he shouldn't be a priest. He should be a swindler. With your smooth tongue, you can definitely fool others easily, right? But do you really think that Yoshino can join Red Wings without any combat ability?" Shiina looked at the priest with some amusement. It even suspected that this priest was an idiot. Did he really think that Yoshino was a soft persimmon that could be kneaded at will? It seemed that as people got older, their brains also became useless.
"Let us show you how powerful Yoshino is. Otherwise, you will always come and harass Yoshino, and we will feel very annoyed."
'Yoshino, summon the Angel. It's been more than a year since I've appeared. We have to let these guys know how powerful we are.' Shiina said to Yoshino. If they didn't leave these guys with the impression that Yoshino wasn't easy to bully, then these guys would come and bother them next time. Only by scaring them would they stop.
'Yes. I understand. Don't go too far. These people are just making me feel uncomfortable with their words. The others are all good people. I can feel it.' After a year of traveling, Yoshino no longer had the deep-seated idea of not being able to hurt people as before. But she still didn't like killing people very much, but it didn't mean she wouldn't kill people. She just tried not to kill as much as possible.
After discussing with Shiina, Yoshino stretched out a hand and raised it above her head in the surprised eyes of the other party, although it slammed on the ground. Despite Yoshino's actions, intense cold light flashed from the ground, and the cold light emerged from the ground, bringing out a huge rabbit puppet that appeared in front of Yoshino.
"Ice Binding Puppet (Zadkiel)." Yoshino jumped onto the rabbit puppet, and her hands inserted into its back. Suddenly, the rabbit puppet's eyes lit up, and it sprayed cold air from its mouth towards the Knights and others... "Count the sins on your bodies! Hypocrites!" Shiina's voice came from Ice Binding Puppet (Zadkiel)'s mouth, and the surrounding trees were frozen in an instant.
"Oh ya~ I didn't expect that her main ability is also ice. It seems that she and her master have compatible attributes. But she's too naive. If it were me, I would have chopped all these guys up." Chachare, who was hiding in the dark, looked at the Knights who were frozen into ice cubes. She felt that the kitchen knife in her hand was a little uncontrollable. "My big knife is already hungry and thirsty."
"...Let's go, Chachare. We have to leave." After a while, Evangeline turned around and said to Chachare.
'One day we will live together. Yoshino.'
