Chapter 105 - The Goddess of Destruction Followers
The gazes given by the people around me were a form of respectful gaze towards me as a young girl who had the power to move all the assets owned by the Marquess Rommel family.
I stared carefully at the command baton given by my father.
The elegant carvings with black and gold ink patterns gave the nuance that it was a command stick that had the power of what the Marquess Rommel family had.
What my mother said about this serious responsibility and the emotional encouragement given by my Goddess made me realize something.
Behind the power given by the blessing of the Yurification System, there was a responsibility that I had to shoulder. This heavy responsibility was actually very suitable for me who seemed to have the opportunity to be able to bear that form of responsibility well.
Although I was a little hesitant when accepting such a terrible fact.
I mean... what kind of noble girl would accept the burden of responsibility by taking care of what her extended family had?
Is there a noble girl who could do something crazy that requires such great responsibility?
[ Isn't that you, Lily-chan? ]
My Goddess seems to have replied to a question that didn't need an answer.
[ Lily-chan, have some confidence in your abilities. ]
[ Didn't I tell you not to look down on yourself too much? ]
[ Compared to Alice and Alyssa, they are far weaker than you who can defeat a monster with a danger level equivalent to a Calamity Disaster. ]
[ Even for Alice and Alyssa, they will only win if their magical energy capacity and magical energy chant are fast enough to silence the Golden King Bear in one strike before the cursed sword awakens and takes over the Golden King Bear's body. ]
[ In such a grand battle, Lily-chan was able to defeat the two dangers that were threatening the world with ease. ]
While receiving my Goddess's words, I immediately leaned my back against the back of the chair.
The fatigue from moving my body and bringing out the greatest potential of my katana attack technique has made me receive a side effect in the form of extreme fatigue.
It was like the muscles all over my body were starting to tense up and stiffen until it was hard to move.
"Sigh… this is going to hurt my body to move," I muttered softly as I felt the twitching in my arm muscles that were starting to spread throughout my body.
"Okay, I understand what you're talking about, my Goddess," I began to feel that the words given by my Goddess were slightly distancing my pessimism about my own abilities through this little murmur.
Thanks to what Earl Timoti had done, I was now getting a lot of attention from his soldiers. Their gazes that secretly glanced at my body seemed to be focused on the top of my head that was wearing the Monarch of Holy Destruction's blessing.
"Hmm…" at that moment, I realized something.
"…" While looking at the reflection of my face reflected in the cup of cold tea, I could see that the hair ribbon that my mother wore matched my magic crown which was a blessing from the Goddess of Destruction.
"Monarch of Holy Destruction Crown, huh? I wonder why it looks like seven cherry blossom petals with different colors," I continued in a small tone.
I went back to enjoying the cold tea in my cup.
The sensation of the cold tea made my body feel a chill that made me shiver. The cape that covered my back suddenly fluttered after Zoe crawled out of my back hair in her butterfly form.
"Master, it seems like we have a serious problem that must be resolved immediately," Zoe whispered while placing herself in the form of a butterfly spirit on my shoulder.
"Serious problem? Wasn't that just resolved?" I replied in a whisper to Zoe.
"The two important problems have indeed been resolved but I can feel a magical energy that makes my spirit instinct vibrate to hunt it. Can I leave for a while to hunt this spirit?" Zoe replied while spreading her butterfly wings to immediately go hunt another spirit that she had detected.
I don't know how much Zoe suffered in the past that made her have a grudge that will continue to hunt other spirits who had oppressed her in the past when she was a caterpillar spirit and a cocoon spirit.
"Hunting spirits?" I tilted my head and asked Zoe this.
"Yes, Master, it seems to be a spy spirit that is watching Master from a distance. That makes him a perverted spirit that deserves punishment for his perverted nature of peeping on my Master from a distance," Zoe said while releasing a small portion of her magic energy into her butterfly wings.
"Watching me from a distance? Is there a spirit that is capable of doing that?"
"There are some cowardly spirits who dedicate their skills as spy spirits by taking information from a distance. This perverted spirit that makes my hands itch to hunt him down."
At this point, I just realized that a spirit's grudge seems to last a lifetime.
"Based on my instincts, this spirit has a close connection to a cult that worships the Goddess of Destruction because their magic formation is the same as that cursed sword," in Zoe's words that sounded serious like this, I began to notice my magic crown which was a sign of the intervention of the Goddess of Destruction with her blessing that would shake the beliefs of the cult that worshipped her.
"I guess… your instincts aren't entirely wrong, Zoe," I replied as I sipped my cold tea.
"Monarch of Holy Destruction, the blessing bestowed upon me by the Goddess of Destruction seems to have caught the attention of some of those groups. If only they were fools who could be fooled—"
"Ehh… Hmmm… I guess that would work."
As I was chatting with Zoe and enjoying every muscle in my body that had tensed up, I came up with a new idea that Zoe would do.
"Zoe, could you create a small commotion for this cult by using a magic formation that holds the blessing of the Goddess of Destruction to trick them into destroying each other?" I said with a small smile to Zoe.
Zoe, who was still in her butterfly spirit form, immediately flapped her butterfly wings after hearing my plan to split the cult into two parts.
The plan I want to implement is to split the cult that worships the Goddess of Destruction into two parts, the cult that adheres to the guidance of the Goddess of Destruction in the past and the new cult that adheres to the guidance of the Monarch of Holy Destruction.
With two different beliefs and supporting evidence of me having the blessing of the Goddess of Destruction, it will make the cult conflict with each other for a while.
"My Master, is it just my feeling or have you turned into a cunning villain girl and become the Great Mastermind force behind this roots of problems," Zoe said in a cheerful tone.
"Creating a cult that is divided into two groups because of differences in beliefs, is the smartest thing and makes me interested in doing it. Should I start with this stupid spirit?" Zoe asked in a tone full of enthusiasm.
"Yes, do as you wish, I will let this Monarch of Holy Destruction Crown continue to be active and give me information about the good results," I said while taking snacks that had frozen on this cold winter night.
A dry bread snack that was near me had frozen perfectly and when I returned it to its place, it made a loud sound like a stone hitting a glass.
Praanngg...
"I'll go first to carry out this interesting plan, my Master," while giving her a small greeting before leaving me, Zoe released her magic energy to fly quickly.
Baaammm!!
Zoe's butterfly wings filled with magic energy immediately shot up quickly.
Seeing the direction Zoe was flying towards the forest that was filled with adventurers and joint soldiers who were hunting the corpses of the Golden King Bear herd, I could only hope that this plan would go smoothly without any obstacles.
It doesn't mean that I'm upset if something unexpected happens.
I'm just trying to rest after the tiring battle between the Golden King Bear and the cursed sword.
"Hmm?" My thoughts suddenly turned to the cursed sword that Mio was carrying.
"The spy spirit and the cursed experimental sword of the Goddess of Destruction…"
"Somehow this makes me have to immediately split the heretical sect into two factions that are at odds with each other." Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
My mind suddenly sank after trying to run a simulation of the split of two factions of the heretical sect that are at odds with each other.
The old faction still believes that the resurrection of the Goddess of Destruction must be done by forcibly summoning her to descend into this mortal world once again and the new faction wants to fulfill the Goddess of Destruction's request to prevent her from returning to this mortal world.
Among the fools who are members of that heretical sect, are there people who can be incited by a rule about the Goddess of Destruction not wanting to return to this world after her avatar body in this world was killed by the Great Hero in the past?
This is just my guess, but please make it possible Zoe!
With the faint hope that lies in Zoe's actions in hunting spirits, I hope that this one problem will be resolved quickly and allow me to relax after exerting myself to the point of feeling exhausted like this.
When my exhausted self began to relax with the circumstances around me, I was suddenly surprised by the appearance of a girl wearing a military uniform from Earl Timoti's territory.
"E-Excuse me Lily-sama, does Lily-sama have free time for an interview about this Golden King Bear hunt?" asked the girl with her body looking nervous.
I who was sitting relaxed almost gave a normal answer.
"I am indeed free, is there a problem that makes me intervene again?" I answered while maintaining my cold attitude and behavior.
Because the situation had become calm and the hunt for the Golden King Bear had ended, I almost forgot about my role play that was still in effect until now.
"N-No, Uhhm... I-I want to interview Lily-sama to complete the military report journal of the Earl Timoti family," replied the girl with nervous body movements.
I looked at her body carefully and nodded.
"Ahh! Lily-sama! May I interview Lily-sama too? This is for the military report of the Marquess Rommel family!" exclaimed a military girl who I had known and felt uncomfortable with her disguise that always made my body feel disgust.
"Can't you do that later... by the way... why are you wearing a military uniform? Where is your maid uniform, Noel?" I replied to Noel who was disguised as a military girl.
"Eh, what is Lily-sama talking about? I am not Noel."
Hearing that unreasonable answer, I immediately gave her a sharp glare and destroyed her disguise by spreading Sakura Domain around her.
"I-I was just joking Lily-sama, please don't threaten me like that."
With herself having given up, Noel began to take off her small disguise and showed her awkward facial expression.
