I Was Deemed a Worthless Saint Without a Level-Up Blessing and Was Sent Off to Marry a Neighboring Country, but It Turns Out My Blessing Was Actually Level Cap Removal - Episode 51
On Nanette’s arm, the poisoned fruit with two arrows stuck in it is still being held.
“Mr. Nanette! Ms. Chelsea! Thank you so much…!”
Before the two of them can even open their mouths, they bow deeply and express their gratitude.
“No, it’s not just the two of you! I can’t express enough gratitude to all the members of the team…! Despite the danger, thank you so much for standing up to the Poison Treant…!”
When he expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the other members, they all raised their voices in a flustered manner.
“What are you talking about! It was thanks to Lady Ferulina that we could face the Poison Treant head-on!”
“If it weren’t for the poison resistance magic, even if the mages cast fire magic from a distance, what would have happened if they got close before it burned out…!”
“Besides, when we were in danger, you set up barriers to help us, didn’t you?”
When the knights speak up, the mages respond just as fiercely.
“That’s right! Usually, Lady Ferulina is the one working hard, so we have to step up and do our best at times like this!”
“I shot so much magic that it felt like my mana was about to run out, and I once again realized just how amazing Lady Ferulina is! Every time we fight, she casts multiple layers of magic on all the members…! And she still looks completely unfazed, so just how much mana does Lady Ferulina have!?”
“Everyone…”
With kind words, my eyes well up with joy.
Instead of blaming Ferulina for proposing a dangerous plan, she actually shows concern for me.
What wonderful people they are.
Nanette offered the poisoned fruit in his arms to Ferulina with a smile.
“That’s great, Lady Ferulina! You’ve managed to obtain the poison fruit for Lord Alvent!”
“Hehe~! Did you get a good look at my amazing skills~?”
“Yes! Both Nanette and Chelsea were wonderful!”
Nodding with a broad smile, “Nod, nod, nod!” Nanette and Chelsea’s faces broke into smiles.
“To hear Lady Ferulina say that, all my hard work has paid off!”
“Geez, if Lady Ferulina thanks me with such a smile, I’ll just have to do my best next time too!”
As soon as I tried to receive the poisoned fruit from Nanette, Alvent’s hand suddenly reached out from the side and snatched it away.
“Hey, Nanette! Don’t give anything dangerous to Ferulina! Robes, keep this under strict guard until we return to the royal castle.”
Alvent hands the poisoned fruit to Robes, who was waiting behind.
Nanette and Chelsea puffed out their cheeks.
“Eh!? Is that all!? Please praise me like you do with Lady Ferulina!”
“Oh, more importantly, I would like to receive a reward from Lord Alvent! Please don’t hold back, a lot would be just fine!”
“……You guys, your attitude towards Ferulina and me is way too different……”
Alvent furrows his sharp-featured brow, but the two show no sign of remorse whatsoever.
“Because, even for you, Lord Alvent, wouldn’t you be happier being praised by Lady Ferulina than by Mr. Robes!?”
“Of course, it’s got to be Ferulina over Robes, right!? Ferulina’s smile is worth its weight in gold!”
“So, what you’re saying is… if Lord Alvent wanted to praise us so we wouldn’t lose to Ferulina’s smile, the only thing he could give us is a reward money, right?”
“Um, um…”
What should I do? Shouldn’t Ferulina, who requested the dangerous mission, be the one to pay the reward money to the two?
However, Ferulina probably doesn’t have much money she can freely use.
“To both of you, my salary…!”
“Ferulina!? No way! If you’re paying, then I’m paying!”
“No, no, no! To receive something from Lady Ferulina!”
“That’s right~! I didn’t mean it that way~!”
Not only Alvent, but also the flustered remarks of Nanette and Chelsea, finally caught Ferulina’s attention.
That’s right. The main reason why Nanette and Chelsea, as well as the other members, faced Poison Treant with such bravery was…
“Mr. Nanette and Ms. Chelsea both wanted to obtain the poison fruit for the sake of the beloved Alvent-sama, didn’t they? That’s why I think they desire Alvent-sama’s praise above all else. Surely, the other members of the group feel the same.”
Looking up at the tall figure and smiling brightly, Alvent’s black eyes widened in surprise. The scarred cheek faintly flushed.
“When you say things like ‘I care about you’ in that way…”
“Hey! Lord Alvent! Could you please stop making me blush too!?”
Ferulina wonders if blushing is contagious, but Nanette’s face is slightly red as well.
“Lady Ferulina, oh my gosh! …As expected, the strongest in the knight order is Lady Ferulina!”
“Eeeh!? Ms. Chelsea, no matter how you look at it, I think that’s definitely Lord Alvent…!”
Chelsea’s face turned red, and she started saying strange things, so I panicked.
Clap, clap, clap! It was Robes who clapped his hands and broke in, wrapping the poisonous fruit tightly in cloth and entrusting it to one of the members.
“Opinions may differ on whether the most beloved in the knight order is the captain or Lady Ferulina, but since Lord Alvent is no match for Lady Ferulina at all, there is no doubt that Lady Ferulina is the strongest in the knight order! Now, enough with the idle chatter, let’s start preparing to clean up! The poison from the Poison Treant has likely wiped out the nearby monsters, but if it spreads to the forest, it will be a disaster! We can’t move until we ensure everything is reduced to ashes!”
“Um, um, Mr. Robes…?”
I feel like I just heard something really amazing said so casually.
Even though Alvent is the most beloved and the strongest, Ferulina stands no chance against him.
Although he shows no hesitation in his words and actions towards Alvent, I don’t think Robes, who serves Alvent more faithfully than anyone else, could possibly be unaware of that.
However, as Robes said, we should focus on cleaning up without any idle chatter for now.
I want the tired magicians and knights to take a break soon.
“I understand. What should I do?”
Putting her doubts aside for the moment, Ferulina sought instructions from Alvent and the others.
