A few days after Exa left.
"What's with him!? What's with him!? What's with him!?"
BAM! BAM! BAM! I repeatedly kicked a tree, venting my anger.
"I'm the saintess, you know!? And yet! You said! You were already!
At your limit! Babysitting me! Even though you were just a hangeron! Know! Your place!"
Nonsense! I hit the tree with all my might and anger in the end.
"Hah, hah…" I breathed heavily, having felt a little refreshed, before
stabilizing my breathing.
Unable to carry my luggage with Exa gone, I had gone to the guild in
the neighboring town by myself and instantly hired a luggage carrier.
It extremely infuriated me that a saintess like me had to went out of
my way to do such a thing, but I couldn't continue my journey without
one.
So I really had no choice but to hire one.
However, the problem started from there.
Because I had left all the luggage management to Exa, I had no idea
what was where.
For the saintess, I, to not even manage her own luggage, there was
no way I could let such shameful matter be known to the public.
I was the saintess that everyone longed for.
I must be pretty, graceful, and intelligent.
Therefore, I checked all the contents of my luggage from scratch.
Then the result?
I couldn't put back the luggage that I had took out.
Mou, it was frustrating and unbearable.
However, there was no one I could vent at.
That was the reason why I had been venting my anger at things in
places out of people's notice whenever I found time like this for the
past few days.
"Even though he's just Exa…"
Grit, I bit my lips strongly.
Even though he was just a good-for-nothing who couldn't do
anything without me.
Even though he had been able to make good memories all this time
only thanks to me.
And yet, to repay my grace with enmity, absolutely unforgivable!
I'd be sure to make him search for me and apologize!
I'd make him cry and prostrate himself!
For that, I had to make him understand how great I was and how
much of an honor it was to serve me.
"——Ah, you are back. I was worried because you disappeared
suddenly."
"Yes, I apologize. There was a sign of a monster around here, so I
went to check it out."
Smile, I smile at the luggage carrier with a saintly benevolent smile.
"Is that so? As expected of Saintess-sama." The man seemed to be
fascinated by my beauty, though, that was a matter of course.
"No, it is my greatest pleasure to be able to help everyone."
"Saintess-sama…"
After smiling again, I made a determination.
I would definitely form a great party and show Exa the difference of
our status.
And I would make him regret for having left me.
Therefore, I said. "Now then, let us set out as planned. ——To where
Dragon Slayer-sama is."
