71 - 54 Iris no matter how you look at it!?

Okay, calm down for now.

It is true that the woman said that the seven saints surround me and that I can only resist fate if all seven of them are present.

However, I was not told that I had to be a saint of the Elma ...... sword, nor was I told to collect all seven sacred tools.

The holy tools were made by the ancient wise men for the saints, not by the goddesses themselves.

There is no doubt that they are super-powerful weapons, but as long as Berkoua's engineers were making holy bows that were as close to the originals as possible, they should not have had that much to do with this case.

So, that's that.

--Congratulations, Iris. You are the seventh maiden.

Please visit .......

No, because you are!

Iris adores me more than Elma, no matter how you look at it!

I mean, there's no way that Erma would say she loves me, loves me, loves me!

If she says something like that, the world will be destroyed, no joke!

I got so excited with ...... that I couldn't help it.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to be so calm about it, but I was only told that there are seven saints on my side, not that they all have a liking for me.

I'm not sure if it's possible that it's Erma, though I'm very reluctant to say so.

--But wait a minute.

Iris has the power of the saint of the "bow" - the "Heavenly Bow" skill.

She is unquestionably one of the saints.

In fact, if I include my other sisters, there are ten saints in my vicinity at this point.

Yes, it's not just seven, and I think that's enough.

I don't think it's right to let Iris and her sisters fight, but I definitely trust them more than Erma, and I can entrust them with my back.

I think that's all we can do.

I'd rather that, please, seriously. ......

So, I said to myself, "I'm going to go with Iris.

"--Iris, after all."

「「「「......What? 」」」」

At that moment, the girls froze in a daze and I sensed the situation I was in.

No, no, that wasn't it!　It's not that Iris is the only one I can think of, I mean...... that's not what I meant!"

「「「「......」」」」

--I'm not talking about that.

Naturally, it took some time for the misunderstanding to be cleared up.

◇ ◇ "So, you've been so blatant about it," he said.

The first thing to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you're doing and what you want to do.

......Yes, that's exactly what she said.

The most important thing to remember is that you can't just take the word of a woman who is too monstrous and take her word for it.

I was so angry that I had no choice but to tell him everything that had happened.

But now I understand. I had wondered why you, with your "phoenix" skill, were able to handle such great swordsmanship, but it was because you were originally in the party of the "sword" saint, wasn't it?

Ah. The particular saint was a childhood friend of mine. The actual "Swords" saint was my childhood friend and she was so selfish that she didn't even treat me like a human being, so I couldn't take it anymore and left her.

I couldn't take it anymore, so I left. That must have been very painful for you. ......

I'm happy now that everyone is here for me. Thanks for your concern, Magmel.

No, no, I don't. ......

I'm not sure what to think of her," he said.　She guessed everything about us, didn't she?

I said, "Yes, she did. She even prophesied that Alka would come looking for us, and when we realized, she was gone. ......

Now that I think back on it, I think he was really a strange man.

I wonder who he was, as Ophir said.

I can't say at this stage, but I think it's best not to trust him. I just don't think we should be too careless about trusting him.

I agree. ...... I almost went down the Iris route. ......

No, that has nothing to do with it.

I mean, what is the "Iris route?" ......

The only person who could have guessed that much was the one who said "mermaids have something to do with saints," right?　It may be a trap, but I think it's possible to find out that information. We don't have enough other information.

Yes, that's right.

After all, no one else had any useful information either.

I have no idea," he said. I have no idea where she is, but she said I already know where she is, so let's start from there.

Oh, okay. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get a good idea of what you're looking for. You can't fight if you're hungry.

Ophir smiled wryly and we nodded our heads in agreement.
