Eastern Kingdom, Azurite Duchy.
Adjacent to a vast area of monsters, this land is one of the most dangerous areas in the kingdom, blessed with rich nature but inhabited by countless mighty monsters.
Even in such a land, the reason why people are able to live their lives to the fullest is because of the presence of the knights who protect them.
"Captain, everyone is ready."
At the outer edge of the dense green forest, knights dispatched from nearby cities were lined up in response to a request for assistance.
Their mission is to rescue the students who are currently left behind in the forest.
Every year around this time, expedition training for the students of the magic academy in the royal capital is held to exterminate monsters in the nearby forest.
This time, it was supposed to end without incident as usual, but it was forced to cancel due to the sudden appearance of a horde of monsters.
Thanks to the efforts of the waiting teachers, most of the students have already succeeded in evacuating, but about 100 students are still left behind in the forest.
Even if you try to rescue them, it will be quite difficult to rescue them while repelling the attacks of monsters in the vast forest.
However, if they are the elite who continue to protect this land by fighting monsters day and night, it is possible.
"Okay, let's start with this--"
"please wait!"
"What is it?"
When the captain of the knights tries to give the order to depart, someone appears to stop them.
A female student with pink hair, Maria, and several other students rushed towards them as they turned around.
Among them was Prince Albert.
"Haa, haa... Let us help rescue everyone!"
"I'm begging you too. I can't abandon my friends!"
"No, it's too dangerous.
They bowed their heads as they approached the knights, but this mission was extremely dangerous.
The captain shook his head as he couldn't allow the immature girls to participate.
"No way..."
"Then I'll take care of them. Is that okay with you?"
"Your Highness Wilhelm!?"
It was a man dressed in a white coat who offered help to Maria and the others.
Wilhelm Farland, a teacher of healing magic working at the academy and the half-brother of the current king.
Although he has renounced the right to succeed to the throne, his influence is immeasurable.
"Don't worry, they're good students. They'll never be a hindrance."
"If you go that far, I'll believe you. But please don't push yourself too hard."
"Understood. Is that okay with you, Maria?"
"Yes! Thank you, Mr. Will!"
"Muu..."
Somehow, with Wilhelm's help, Maria was able to participate in the rescue operation, and although Maria was delighted, only Albert, who had been deprived of the highlight by his uncle, had a dissatisfied expression on his face.
For Albert, Wilhelm, his uncle, is someone he respects, but at the same time, he is also a love rival who loves Maria.
It was naturally not interesting for Maria to be grateful to such a person.
"Okay, then let's leave this time--"
"Captain! Something is approaching us from the depths of the forest!"
"What!? Everyone, prepare for battle! Prepare for an attack!"
Once Maria and the others' problems were settled, one of the knights who was guarding the surroundings sensed something strange in the forest when they were about to give the order to depart again.
The knights, who received the report and changed their expressions to something stern, readied their weapons and looked deep into the dark forest.
"Al! We too"
"I know. Maria is behind me!"
When Maria and the others were hurriedly readying their weapons behind the knights, they heard the sound of something gradually approaching while knocking down the trees.
「────!」
"Did you hear something? Everyone, be careful!"
"I'm coming!"
And as everyone held their breath and stared, it appeared.
""Nowaaaaaaa!""
"Don't go there!"
"Hey!?"
"Dangerous!"
The "something" that appeared from the depths of the forest knocked down the trees and charged straight at Maria and the others.
The knights who had gathered involuntarily split into left and right and evacuated.
Just when I thought that the giant "something" jumped into the place that the knights had avoided, it bounced off the ground several times, and while spinning round and round, it crashed into a tree and finally stopped its movement.
"Are you okay, Maria?"
"I'm fine, but what the hell is going on..."
Maria, who escaped from being pushed to the ground by Alberto, shook her head and looked around to confirm the situation.
If it was true, I should have gone to defeat the boss just like that, but what the hell is this?
At least, an event like this shouldn't have existed in the game.
"What is this...?"
"Kehoh, kehoh... What the hell are you guys doing!"
When the captain fearfully tries to confirm the identity of the object that jumped in, he hears a woman's voice from the dust cloud.
"Oh? It's quite thoughtful to have so many people come together to welcome you."
The dust cloud clears, and the identity of the object that jumped in is gradually revealed.
It was a huge cart.
Isabella, who was standing on top of the gigantic luggage on top of that, noticed the presence of the knights around her, put her hand to her mouth and burst into laughter.
"Squad 4 and Squads 3, 8, and 13 combined, a total of 120 people, have just arrived. Um...time is fine, Crow?"
"Yes, it's the last minute, but I think it's on time. Gefo..."
In response to Isabella's question, Crow, who had collapsed at her feet, raised her face and responded, but immediately after that she vomited blood and collapsed.
Judging from the situation just now, he must have been driving quite recklessly before coming here.
If you look closely, there are many students lying around the cart, just like him.
"Wait, Crow!? Stay strong! Someone, hurry up and get a doctor!"
"Ah, ah... then I'll examine him. Excuse me, Captain, but can I borrow your men to carry everyone?"
"Understood. Hey, lend me a hand."
"Ha!"
In any case, rescue is the top priority, and several knights with Wilhelm carry the fallen students to the side.
"And sir, may I ask you for some more details, especially about the dead ogre at its feet?"
The captain's gaze was directed at the gigantic corpse on the cart.
It's probably a peculiar species that is completely different in size and shape from the ogre he remembers.
There is almost no doubt that he was the master who led the group of monsters that appeared this time.
"Rather than that, I'd like to take a bath as soon as possible."
However, Isabella, who was combing her messy blond hair, made a troubled expression when she heard those words.
She had finally come to a place where she could rest in peace, and to be honest, I couldn't blame her for wanting to take a quick bath and rest in a warm bed.
"I know.
"It can't be helped. Let's finish this troublesome thing quickly."
However, as the leader of the group, I can't afford to neglect reporting.
Isabella let out a sigh and jumped off the cart and followed the captain.
"He's gone. Apparently, all the students have returned safely, so should we return?"
Albert, who was left behind after seeing Isabella and the others off, suggests returning to town for the time being.
Now that the students have returned safely, there shouldn't be anything they can do even if they're here.
"...why?"
Meanwhile, Maria stared blankly at the monster's corpse on the cart.
Her eyes wavered as if she had seen something impossible, and her breathing was rough due to the turmoil.
"Maria?"
"Huh? Ah, yeah. What is it?"
"No, it seems that the students have returned safely, so we asked if we could return as well… Is there anything that bothers you?"
"Uh, it's nothing. Let's go back."
In response to Albert and the others who were worried about such a situation and called out to them, Maria immediately showed her usual smile.
Albert and the others were relieved to see that smile, and decided to return to the city with Maria.
「...」
And then, just before returning to the city, no one noticed that Maria's eyes were filled with impatience that could not be hidden when she turned her gaze to the ogre's corpse tied up on the carrier.
(Why is that woman defeating the boss!? That's my role as the heroine, isn't it?)
On the way to town, Maria tries to make sense of the situation with her confused head.
The corpse of an ogre brought by Isabella. That should have been the boss that Maria and the others should have defeated.
In the game, Isabella was supposed to be a coward who would leave the other students behind when attacked by monsters, but she ended up defeating that boss.
What does this mean?
(Are you saying that my actions affected the main part of the game!?)
Certainly, the Maria in this place is different from the "Maria" in the game.
I did something a little unreasonable in order to capture the harem route, and since my personality is different in the first place, it may be inevitable that there will be some errors.
However, it was at the level where there was a slight delay in capturing each capture target, and until now it had no effect on the outline of the story.
But this time, the essential event in the story has gone crazy.
In this event, Isabella was supposed to lose her reputation as a coward who tried to save herself, while Maria was supposed to be praised as a hero who saved the students.
(Anyway, I have to do something about the gap with the game as soon as possible)
It may be a small gap right now, but I don't know what will happen in the future.
If we don't fix it somehow, this gap will gradually spread, and in the worst case, it will end badly──
(I'm not going to let you do that!)
Her name is Maria Norton.
blessed by the worldmain character heroine That's it.
In that case, a happy ending would be appropriate.
──No, it must be so.
As a fan who once loved this game, I absolutely cannot allow such a wonderful story to be destroyed.
While clenching her back teeth to the point that they were about to break, Maria renewed her resolve.
"thank you very much"
I bow my head and leave the infirmary.
This is a city garrison near the forest where training was conducted.
All of us who made it out of the forest safely were brought here for treatment.
Even so, as expected, it is an all-purpose magic.
My body, which was so tattered, has completely returned to normal, and is in better condition than before.
However, it's already past midnight.
The treatment was completed relatively quickly, but after examining my body, it seemed like they knew what I had done, so I was given a sermon and it ended up being quite late.
"Not at all"
While walking down the corridor, I wiped out the smile that had been on my mind until just now, and muttered like throwing it away.
The healing magician who treated me seemed to be a person full of philanthropic spirit, and thought of a commoner like me and scolded me quite earnestly.
It was a really pointless time.
I want you to be the one who hears such silly sermons that all lives are equally valuable and that you should take care of yourself more.
There is no way that the Ojou-sama's life and mine are equivalent.
The Ojou-sama is intelligent, noble and beautiful.
Such a person is not so good.
What kind of hesitation would there be in sacrificing one's life to protect that person?
That's right, the princess, the treasure of the kingdom, the princess, the princess, the princess,
──Miss, Miss, Miss, Miss, Miss, Miss, Miss, Miss, Miss, Miss, Miss, Miss
"Ahh..."
──I want
I want that person, that woman, that bitch.
I want to rape her with her jewel-like limbs and bite her teeth into her white neck.
Then what kind of eyes will she look at me with?
anger?
sorrow?
Or fear?
Just imagining it makes me shudder.
"Stupid things..."
I shook my head to forcefully reset my thoughts.
My mind hasn't been stable since a while ago.
Or rather, this is that, it feels like my sexual desire is building up and I'm horny.
It's probably something like his instincts trying to leave offspring because he's about to die.
Incidentally, one of the reasons was that the action at the lake was cut short due to the raid.
"This is bad"
To be honest, I don't have the confidence to suppress this urge.
If I met Isabella now, I would probably push her down.
As expected, it tastes bad.
I'm confident that I can do things that can't be deceived in words, such as regular massage.
"..."
While doing so, I came to the front of the room where Isabella was given.
"Welcome back, Crow-sama."
If you open the door with trembling hands, Ains will greet you with his head bowed.
I look around, but I don't see Isabella.
"What about the Ojou-sama?"
"If you were Lady Isabella, you were absent earlier."
"Really"
Hearing Ains' words, I let out a sigh of relief.
It's only natural if you think about it calmly.
It's already late at night, and Isabella must have been tired from working all the time.
"Here it is"
When I was guided to the bedroom, there was Isabella wrapped in a sheet on the prepared bed in a dimly lit room.
Perhaps because she was so tired, Isabella didn't show how she woke up as she slept with small breaths.
Looking at that innocent sleeping face, a faint feeling deep in my heart raises my neck.
"Ahh..."
