Volume 3 Chapter 9
Amalda trembled, but fire seemed to burn in her eyes as she looked up at Lidianne-sama. The priests stood behind her.
Lidianne-sama, on the other hand, looked mightily displeased as she coldly stared down at Amalda.
It seemed like justice was here to fight it out against evil, at least from a bystander’s point of view.
This scene was extremely familiar, so I couldn’t help but clutch my head.
‘Ugh… I don’t want to be involved…..’
The things I wanted to tell her about Eric was already plenty as it was, but I didn’t want to see her face as of now.
Besides, Amalda was the Supreme God’s Saintess-sama.
There was no way I could call out to her easily, and it also seemed like Amalda already forgot everything about me, since we never met, not even once. Even though she went out of her way to visit Eric.
That’s why I had relaxed my guard.
“You probably didn’t imagine that the Saitness of the Deity with the lowest status is the best of friends with the Saintess of the Supreme God! You failed in trying to harm my precious Noa-chan!”
“…She’s not bullying me, though.”
It was like we were in a conviction trial.
I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I blurted that out.
Besides, she didn’t bully me, that was the truth.
“You just misunderstood. Lidianne-sama never wanted to harm me —”
“To address her as ‘sama’! Noa-chan, all the Saintesses are equal! Even if you’re the Saintess of the lowest deity, there’s no need for you to be servile to Liadianne-san!”
‘Huh?’
Lidianne-sama also said the same thing, but I dunno why, it made me reaaaalllly irritated just by listening to her tirade.
Amalda looked hurt when she saw me purse my lips, and she shook her head.
“Besides, there’s no need for Noa-chan to defend Lidianne-san. I heard it properly. Lidianne-san had said Noa-chan is ‘an eyesore’, loud and clear….Just because Noa-chan isn’t a true Saintess…That’s really terrible.”
‘Haaah?’
“Besides, it’s just like Rozalie-chan said! You even overturned Noa-chan’s meal! You’re overdoing it! Lidianne-san. As the Saintess of the Supreme God, I cannot let this pass. You will regret looking down on Noa-chan for being the lowest ranked Saintess!”
‘Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!????’
“Amalda! Stop spouting nonsense! She didn’t do anything to me!”
That ‘Rozalie’ that she kept on name-dropping — Lufure-sama’s saintess must have probably whispered all that stuff in her ear.
Equal, equal, she said, and yet she was emphasizing the ranking of deities.
That Rosalie girl’s probable ulterior motive was to ally with Amalda, the Supreme God’s Saintess, so she could put the blame on Lidianne-sama.
‘WHAT A JOKE, So annoying!!!!!’
“That ‘Rozalie-chan’ you kept on saying is the one at fault here! You’re being deceived!”
“Ahh… It’s just as Rozalie-chan said! Noa-chan was really being bullied, and you’re being forced to listen to everything she’s saying…! You’re even lying!”
Amalda didn’t listen to a word I said as she shook her head.
Tears of compassion started to well in the corner of her eyes.
She gently wiped those tears with her fingertip.
Then, she turned her gaze again at me, looking all gallant and gentle.
“Don’t worry, I am here. I will save you…!”
"
"
Ahh. Pointless.
I peeked at the priests behind her — everyone was still staring condemningly at Lidianne-sama, nothing changed.
As for the Lidianne-sama in question —
“I don’t have any recollection of bullying someone.”
She glowered at Amanda.
“I don’t care a thing about the friendship between the lowest and the highest Saintess and whatnot. Go ahead and be chummy all you want. But, aren’t you mistaken about something? I never did anything that would warrant such an accusation that I’m bullying the people below me.”
Her freezing voice resounded around us.
She carried herself with overwhelming dignity that matched her breathtaking beauty well.
“Wha…”
Amalda sucked her breath in, seemingly overwhelmed for a moment.
However, she mustered all her courage and retorted.
“What do you mean…are you acting innocent!? I heard it with my own ears! You said Noa-chan is an eyesore!!”
Lidianne-sama just snorted and smirked at Amalda’s words.
It was the super typical villainess move that even the dramas didn’t use.
“An eyesore is an eyesore, what’s wrong with saying that?”
Ah, this girl is also impossible, huh.
The priests were increasingly becoming restless and grim.
“If saying the truth is already considered bullying, then fine. I don’t plan saying excuses for myself. If you got a problem then —”
“——Argh!”
I unconsciously shouted in an attempt to interrupt Lidianne-sama’s vehement arguments.
I didn’t know what she wanted to say, but I realized that the situation shouldn’t become any worse than this.
The priests also realized the same thing, it seemed.
Their eyes were shining, as if they were itching to grab Lidianne-sama.
That’s why ——
“Stop spouting all that nonsense, idiot —–——!!!”
I shrieked as I grabbed Lidianne-sama’s arm.
There’s no way we could settle this verbally, anyway.
In reality, they would use Lidianne-sama’s words against her so that she would crush herself!!
‘In that case!!!’
“We’re running away for once!! Come!!”
Art of war, retreat to attack.
If I didn’t make her calm herself, they would never see eye to eye — So, I forcefully pulled Lidianne-sama’s arm .
“Wait! Running away, I don’t ——”
She screamed a lot of things, but I didn’t listen, of course.
No choice, I could already see the worsening outcome.
Amalda and Lidianne-sama. These two were like oil and water — totally incompatible!!

T/N: Ghorl, why are you so intent on emphasizing Eleanor as the lowest ranked Saintess? Insecure much, since it’s supposed to be you? And go, Lidianne! Continue face-slapping her!
