The Falsely Executed Marquis’ Daughter Wants to Live Peacefully with Fluffy God

One year of study abroad has flown by, and tomorrow I will finally return to the Kingdom of Findalia.

Tonight, there will be a farewell banquet held at the hall of his Lordship.

“I enjoyed my time at the Magic Academy.
I learned to use fire magic while I was studying in Findalia!”

“We have been taught 'water magic.'”

Momoka and Fujino-san were able to use magic while they were studying abroad in the Kingdom of Findalia.

As for why Momoka and Fujino-san are here when they should have come aboard the ship to swap places with us is–.

Because the restoration of the Transfer Gate was completed and was connected to the tower in the former Marquis de Grandeur's domain.

Because of this, we can return to the Kingdom of Findalia in an instant without having to board the Emperor Cruise ship, which arrived at the port a week ago.

“Yurie, thank you for helping us with the northern development all this time.
The land is going to grow lush and fertile thanks to you.”

“No,” I replied, “I don't think so.
This is the first time I have been involved in land development.
……
Nonetheless, I am happy to have been of some help.”

After taking responsibility for the Iwama Village incident, Rokujo-sama resigned from his position at the temple and took it upon himself to cultivate the undeveloped northern lands.

To be honest, I wasn't sure if he wanted me to help him with my Creation Magic, but the expressionless Rokujo-sama was so enthusiastic that I gave in to his request.

Chris, on the other hand, took part in the fighting and retreat of the unknown ship, which finally started to move, and together with Tojurou-san, she went to the south to help force the ship to retreat.

We switched from studying abroad to doing community service in the name of independent study.
Frankly speaking, it turned out to be more interesting.

In Hinoshima, everything is based on merit.
Real study is only possible after you enter the workforce.

“I wish that I could use Creation Magic, too.
I wonder if the Findalia gods would grant that to me?”

Rokujo-sama remarked as he glanced at Leon.
He seemed to be dimly aware that Leon was God, though he had not spoken aloud to him.

Leon turned away with a pout and began to drink the sake at his feet.
“I won't give it to you,” he muttered to himself.

“This kitty drinks alcohol, eh? Ha-ha-ha.
That's hilarious!”

Momoka watched Leon drinking and tipped her own sake cup as well.

“Cute Fluffy.
I love Fluffy.”

Fujino-san silently drank her drink and gently teased Leon's tail.

In Hinoshima, the age of adulthood is twelve.
It is not surprising that the two of them are drinking, but it feels strange.

This year, we will turn fifteen, and then we will be able to drink alcohol.

“That reminds me, you're making your social debut this year.”

“Yes, we are.
I guess I have to show up for all kinds of social gatherings, balls, and so on.”

“Un.
I also have to host a tea party.”

Chris and I exchanged a look and let out a sigh.

“What a chore.”

This too is the fate of being born into the aristocracy.
I'll be busy preparing for my social debut when I get back.
I felt overwhelmed.
I don't want to go home.

The following day, I headed for the waterfall where the dragon god, Old Man Ryu, lives.

“Thank you for your kindness, Old Man Ryu.
I appreciate your help in repairing the Transfer Gate.”

“It was nothing.”

While I was repairing the Transfer Gate, he would catch fish from around and prepare meals for us, taking special care of me.

“We will enter the Kingdom of Findalia in two weeks' time aboard the Emperor Cruise and meet you there.”

It seems that Kikuno-sama and Tojurou-san are going to the Kingdom of Findalia by sea.

Tojurou-san insisted on it.
And Kikuno-sama, his chaperone, went along with him.

“I won't use the Transfer Gate.
No matter how fast we can get there, I don't want to suffer that kind of experience.
It is still better to be at the base of the Emperor Cruise.

Perhaps Tojurou-san's semicircular canals are weak, or perhaps he gets drunk using Transfer Magic.
The Emperor Cruise is a large ship, so there will be less swaying.
Although they call it the bottom of the ship, it is a room exclusively for diplomats in the same upper deck as the first-class cabins.
That is probably better.

There are four of us, Chris, Marie, Leon, and I, who will use the Transfer Gate to travel.

“Then it's time for us to go.”

“You guys take care of yourselves.
See you on the other side.”

Kikuno-sama and Tojurou-san waved to us.

“Yes.
Take care on your way, Kikkuno-sama and Tojurou-sensei.”

We passed through the Transfer Gate and after a moment of levitation, we arrived at the ruins of the former Marquis de Grandeur's domain.

“Wow! We really did come back in an instant.”

Chris marveled as she gazed out at the familiar forest.

Being able to do a week's journey one way, Transference Magic is really useful.

“Rio! You're back!”

Flare-sama appeared out of nowhere and embraced me.

“Flare-sama.
It's been a long time.”

“Hmm? Have you grown taller?”

The way I look at Flare-sama is not much different than the way she looks at me.

“Yes.
I have grown again.”

“Humans grow up so fast.
Rio, not long ago was so small……
ha!　This is no time for sentimentality! It's bad news!”

“What's the big deal?”

Leon emerged quietly from behind me.

“It's been a long time, sis.”

“Daaku! Where were you leaving your sister!”

Flare-sama appeared from Marie's shadow and grabbed Daaku-sama by the shoulder, shaking him violently.

“Did I not tell you? I went with Marie to the Hinoshima nation.”

“I thought you had mentioned that.”

Smack! A loud sound echoed through the forest.

Leon had hit Flare-sama on the head with a harisen.

“Get to the point!”

“Leon, where did you get that harisen from?”

” I got it from the Prime Minister's assistant, Marcus Wright, or something like that.
The harisen becomes a ribbon and fits around my neck.”

“When did you ……”

“Flare! Hurry up and say it!”

“Ummm.
You remember Therese, don't you?”

The holder of Light Magic, a nun in the Dukedom of Lioness.
I remember her gentle face.

“What is wrong with Therese?”

“She is dead! She didn't even say goodbye to us.
……”

Flare-sama bursts into tears.

Yesterday, Flare-sama went to check on Therese for the first time in a while.
However, Therese was not there, and her gravestone stood behind the monastery.

She changed into her human form and spoke to a nearby resident, who told her that she had passed away a month ago after reaching the end of her life span.

“But something's wrong! When a human being dies, the source of power should return to the gods.
However, the source of power has never returned to me lately.”

“No way.
……”

One of the worst-case scenarios struck me.

“You mean plundering magic has been invoked?”

Leon bitterly clucked his tongue and rushed out.

“Leon! Where are you going?”

“'Marianne's place! At this time of the year, she should be at the lord's mansion.”

I chased after Leon and started to run too.

TL: And the plot thickens….dun dun dun.
Looks like we’re in for an interesting segment.
Wonder what will happen at the Magic Academy, will Rio have a confrontation with Charlotte? And will the Crown Prince show a change? Hope you enjoyed and happy reading~!!!
