Episode 253: A Hero will surely come (Third Party Perspective)

"It went well."

"Yeah."

"Seriously, Saint-sama is too defenseless."

The men wearing masks are chatting face to fact.

"..."

There is a girl dressed in a white priest's uniform staring at the men with a sober gaze.

She is an outstanding Healer who is called a Saint, an explorer who has already acquired the ability of B-rank, she is Noelle.

She is now sitting in the seat of a plane, with handcuffs from the dungeon that even an explorer can't easily destroy.

There are only three people in front of her, but the total number of enemies in the plane is unknown.

Moreover, they are fairly experienced explorers, and even for Noelle it is difficult to escape. As a result, she remains meekly seated in her seat.

"So? What is your purpose, desu?"

Noelle thinks that since she can't move, she has no choice but to gather information from the men in front of her, so she talks to them.

"Even though Saint-sama was kidnapped, you didn't let out a single scream, did you?"

"It's not a situation in which I should be particularly pessimistic, desu, and I'm used to it, desu."

"Hahaa. That's surprising."

The man asks Noelle. She can see that the eyes that are exposed from the mask are distorted with a grin. However, Noelle doesn't give in to the man's provocations, and speaks the truth in a matter-of-fact manner.

Hearing Noelle's reaction, the masked man puts his hand to his forehead and exaggeratedly pretends to be surprised.

Actually, Noelle can't escape, but she knows they don't want to do anything to Noelle. It's because they need Noelle's power.

It was the men who would be troubled by Noelle's death.

"So, what's the answer, desu?"

"We just want Saint-sama to do the same thing she did in Egypt?"

"If you pay me properly, I don't mind doing so, desu?"

"My country can't afford that right now."

Noelle is satisfied with the man's answer.

He says she had gone a little too far again.

Because she went at it in too flashy of a manner, she caught the eye of the foreign powers in Egypt and they took a chance and kidnapped her.

"I see, I understand. I'm not going to run away, so please remove this."

"That's a request that can't be done. I don't know what you'll do."

Noelle, who understands the situation she is in, thinks that there would be no problem if she obeys, raises the handcuffs and asks, but the masked man raises his hands as if to check if it's raining, shrugs his shoulders and answers.

"I won't do anything, desu. I don't have the power to do something about you guys, desu."

"It's just to be careful. Please just stay obedient."

In reality, the opponents are seasoned explorers. Noelle feels that everyone has B-rank or higher magical power, and she doesn't feel like doing anything in particular 'right now'.

The strength of the enemy is still unknown. It's not easy to escape if she's in an airplane, which is a prison in the sky above.

That's why she makes the request in hopes of making it a little more comfortable, but perhaps it should be said that her request will never be granted.

"I understand, desu. If I do what I have to do, you will release me, right, desu?"

"Well, we don't know about that. I guess that will depend on the ones in charge. It's bad for Saint-sama."

"Haa ... That's a problem, desu."

Then Noelle asks the next question.

From the answers she receives, she understands that the men in front of her are the perpetrators, but the main culprit who gave the instructions is somewhere else.

Noelle lets out a sigh seeing it being such a troublesome situation.

This and that is also due to her personality that she can't leave people in trouble, but she understands that it's her personality, so she doesn't intend to blame it on her personality.

Helping those in need is a common story in Japanese anime. She wants to be like the hero or heroine in such anime as much as possible.

However, it's a problem if she can't go to Japan, her dream, because of that, she will be tied up with the improvement of the food situation and the treatment of the injured.

"At times like this, I want a Hero to come and save me like in Japanimation, desu. Aren't you somewhere, desu ..."

Noelle says to herself while looking at the sky from the window.

Noelle feels compelled to help those in need, but on the other hand, she always dreamed of a Hero who would come to her rescue when she was in trouble.

She wants to be helped like that too.

She has such a girlish desire hidden in her heart.

"Hahahahaa. Just give it up. Saint-sama. There's no one like that. At least you have the strongest defense force around you. There's almost no one who can break through."

"Muu, a Hero is someone who will help me no matter what the situation is, right, desu? I believe there is someone out there somewhere in the world, desu!!"

When one of the masked men hears Noelle's soliloquy and talks while making fun of the Saint, Noelle responds with annoyance.

"That's a happy wish. Well, it's best to be obedient. As long as you follow orders, nothing bad will happen."

"I understand, desu."

The masked man who made fun of her even more makes Noelle look out the window and fall silent as if she doesn't want to talk to him anymore.

While she believes that she has a Hero who will definitely come to her aid.
