The Evil Noble Desires A Beautiful Demise - Could It Be That You're Stuck In A Loop? - Episode 5

Well, the time is approaching to showcase the results of my four years of hard work. In other words, it’s time to beautifully fall.

For the past four years, I’ve spent all my time outside of training trying to remember the game’s scenarios. Due to the nature of SEVEN FANS, there are countless routes, making it difficult to anticipate events. After all, the story unfolds as the seven characters move and interact with each other, making it unpredictable.

However, there is a confirmed scenario.

That is a common route event and the prologue that serves as the starting point of the story.

It’s easy to understand regarding common events.

In the context of the empire, it is an event where the Duke of Grietz revolts against the emperor, and I become a demon god. The scenario branches depending on the outcome and the way of winning, but the event will definitely occur.

Another one is the starting point of the story.

In other words, it’s the very beginning of the scenario. In the game, the text flows like a prologue, and the scenario progresses automatically to some extent. This time, the target is this.

At the beginning of the scenario, I go to save the protagonist who is having a bad time. If I can help them successfully, that’s great. If not, I want to die in a way that feels good while protecting them, so I can remain in the protagonist’s memory.

It sounds like an impure motive, but I’m serious.

I don’t want the protagonists of the game to be unhappy. Because I love all seven of them!

I’m excited because I get to meet my favorite protagonist. Well, if I die this time, I can only meet one of them, but that’s just how it is.

So, the name of the protagonist who will go to save them this time is…!!

“……The Unyielding Saintes – Tiarola”

Tiarola=Orolein.

One of the main characters in the fanfiction is a light attribute saint. Some fans call her the “invincible saint” for a certain reason.

Tiarola is a stunning beauty with an impeccable figure, always wearing a smile. She is one of the saints officially recognized by the Shailonyu Holy Church, a wonderful woman with a pure heart who travels around to help those in need.

So, well, the reason she’s called the Unassailable Saintes is…

In “Sevfan,” there are countless routes and choices, but among them, there is also something called favorability. In other words, depending on how you proceed, it is even possible for the protagonists to become romantically involved.

However, no scenario has been found where you can become romantically involved with Tiarola. During its peak, many forums and information-sharing sites were created to strategize on how to win over Tiarola, and passionate fans desperately searched for routes. I was one of them, too.

However, even after doing all that, they couldn’t conquer Tiarola. Despite Tiarola having a very high favorability towards the protagonists from the beginning. Eventually, it was concluded that Tiarola was impossible to conquer.

The protagonist who never falls.

Therefore, Tiarola is called the “Impenetrable Saint.”

By the way, there was someone who created a doujinshi about the Tiarola 攻略ルート, and some fans who idolized Tiarola got furious and it caused a huge uproar. That was something else. By the way, I was on the furious side emotionally.

“……Let’s do our best and save them.”

The beginning of the story of Tiarola is quite tragic.

At this time of year, Tiarola is recognized as a saint. If I remember correctly, a divine oracle from the goddess is given.

The saint of the Shailonyu Holy Church holds a special significance. She is a symbol of the Holy Church, which is widely revered in this world, and it is even said that countries that produce a saint prosper. This was the problem.

The Olbraim Empire is a top-class great power in this world. There are probably only two or so countries that can stand alongside it. Given that a saint has emerged from such a great power and the country is set to further develop, it is only natural that other countries would try to prevent this.

After Tiarola was recognized as a saint, she was attacked by an unidentified enemy on her way to the holy land of Shaira. It’s highly likely to be from a neighboring country, but since it’s not revealed in the game, that’s fine. During the attack, her family members who were traveling with her and the soldiers who were guarding her were all killed.

Tiarola survives alone from that situation.

Just before being cut down by the enemy soldier, Tiarola’s unique skill awakens. This ability is a barrier that protects her, called “Saint Guardian Sanctuary: My Sanctuary.” Tiarola endures all attacks from the enemy until the holy knight dispatched from the holy land arrives.

After that, Tiarola closes her heart, but gradually recovers through the teachings of God and stands up to save the world, which is the beginning of the story.

It’s quite a tough introduction.

Especially the scene where, after her family was killed right in front of her, she could only tremble inside the barrier and cry, was infuriating.

“…I won’t let you do it.”

I don’t know what kind of impact this will have, so I don’t want to interfere with the scenario as much as possible, but this is unacceptable. The awakening of special abilities might be delayed, but I don’t care about that. What’s important is that Tiarola can keep smiling happily. I don’t know how far I can go, but I intend to protect Tiarola’s family at the very least.

So, I’ve decided to head out for the rescue, but there’s a problem. I somehow have to go out alone. As it stands, I’m being monitored as the vessel of the demon god, so I have no freedom. That’s why there’s someone I need to get help from.

“……I want you to allow me to go out.”

“That’s not something I can decide on my own…”

With a troubled expression, Firai is looking this way.

Well, that’s true. A hired bodyguard shouldn’t be able to permit the person they are guarding to go out.

“Just… let me off the hook for one day.”

“No, that’s…”

Somehow, just one day is enough.

I remember both the location and the date of the attack. It’s not that far from here, and since I’ve also learned how to travel using magic, it should be fine.

“…a once-in-a-lifetime request.”

It sounds like a lie if I say it was before my reincarnation, but this time it’s true. If I fail, I’ll die, and if I succeed, I won’t have any other wishes.

“Do you have to go alone? If I go with you…”

“……No.”

The scale of that attack is quite large.

I can’t take Firai to a place like that. For now, they are the most important person in this world. Besides the protagonist.

“Is it absolutely necessary?”

“…No matter what”

This time, I’m not going to back down.

Even if you don’t forgive me, I plan to sneak out.

“Sigh… It seems like you wouldn’t listen even if I told you. You could have slipped away quietly, but since you talked to me, can I take it as a sign that you trust me?”

“……Yeah”

“I understand… But please promise me that you will definitely come back safely. Without that, I can’t forgive you.”

“………..I promise.”

My heart hurts.

Even though I’m being worried about so much, I can’t take my own life seriously.

“I don’t know what lies ahead, but that gaze is the gaze of someone going into battle. …May you be blessed with good fortune.”

Saying that, Firai left.

I really think he’s a good person. He didn’t even ask for details.

Well, it’s with a heavy heart, but the preparations are complete.

Let’s depart tonight.

Sneak out at midnight and use magic to move at high speed.

I’m making an ice path and sliding on it, and it’s quite fun.

Well, we’ve arrived at the scene of the attack.

All that’s left to do is wait.

Nothing happens, and the day goes by.

Huh?????

Did I possibly make a mistake? No, I’ve checked the location on the map multiple times, and I’m absolutely confident that the date is correct. Huh, does this world branch out even before the story begins?

Huh, what about my resolve?

Ah, I should probably head home soon…

The day after it ended in a swing and a miss.

“I’m glad to hear you’re safe.”

“……Yeah”

I watched with mixed feelings as Firai, with a slightly tearful voice, expressed joy at our reunion. I haven’t done anything, you know…

One day, after some time had passed.

“Lady Salifa, we have a guest.”

The servant said so, looking bewildered.

And then, I am also perplexed. Customer? I don’t have any acquaintances, you know. If it were someone from the Greitz family, they wouldn’t be a guest.

“What should we do? They are a bit of a problem to send away…”

Huh, who are you really?

Well, I don’t really understand, but shall we meet?

“……Please come in.”

Just in case, I change into formal attire and wait in the guest room.

Isn’t this the first time we’re using this room?

After waiting a little, there was a knock on the door.

What came in was a girl and her attendant.

The girl looked over here and widened her eyes.

I think she’s around the same age as me, but she’s such a strangely alluring girl. After she froze for a moment, she somehow teared up and bowed.

“Please forgive my sudden visit. My name is Tiarola.”

“……!?”

Tiarola!? Why!?

Come to think of it, there is a certain resemblance.

It’s good to see you’re doing well, but why??

Ah, I’m confused, but I should introduce myself too.

“My name is Salifa Greitz. Today…”

“Salifa…!! I missed you…!!”

Just as I was about to greet, I was hugged.

Huh!? What the heck!?

What’s happening? I really don’t understand the meaning.

Did I do something wrong??
