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

Vol. 3 - Chapter 131 - Katariona Hires the Strongest Bodyguard

Once our family, the head butler, Marie, Chris, Tojurou-san, and the gods were all present, the reception room was sealed off.

"As it happens, we are also present."

This time it was Sylphy-sama who put up the barriers. Ron-sama and Sylphy-sama both know about my situation.

"Ugh! It is my fault. If only I had shown up at Therese's a little more often, none of this would have ......"

"Please calm down. Goddess of Light."

May consoled Flare-sama, who had started to cry.

"It was my fault that I didn't notice that the Forbidden Magic had been cast off," she said.

"May?"

Rising to her feet, May's appearance began changing. No. She had grown up. She now looked about the same age as I am.

"It will be easier to talk with you this way than in the form of a little girl," she explained, "Now then, let me reiterate: I am one of the three gods of creation and the Goddess of the Moon in the sky."

"God of Creation? No way, May, did you regain your memory as a god?"

"I was born with my memory. Or more precisely, I have memories from before I went back in time."

May smiled benevolently at me; she is truly a god.

May took a step closer to Brother.

"Brother," she said, "I'm so happy to see you. Did you see someone at the Magic Academy who can use Light Magic?"

"That's right, May. A special student transferred in two days ago. Baroness Charlotte Campbell."

Father rose from the sofa.

"Why didn't you mention that first! Sieg!"

"This is what Ryu-sama meant when he came to get me, no?"

Big brother chuckled bitterly to himself, his shoulders hunched over.

Upon learning that Charlotte had transferred in, Big brother thought that the Plunder Magic had finally been invoked, and so he waited for the news.

However, when he did not hear from anyone, he wrote a letter to the manor, sending his horse off earlier.

"I arrived before the horse, though," he said.

"Have you told your uncle about this?"

Mother anxiously asked whether he had spoken to Uncle.

"I saw my uncle the day Charlotte Campbell came to transfer there," he replied. "He said that he would make a move as soon as he had spoken to us."

May nodded and stood up again.

"Plunder Magic has definitely been invoked," she said, "But I could not detect any sign of Plunder Magic."

"It would be impossible to invoke the Plunder Magic without the gods being aware of it."

Leon said as he sat on my lap swinging his tail. Seeing his tail wagging from side to side, I felt the urge to grab it.

"No, Leon, that's not entirely true. There is a way to get power without being noticed and without fail."

May stroked Leon's head.

"You know when a human being dies, the source of their magical power returns to the gods, do you not?"

"Ah! The source of Therese's power never returned to me!"

Flare-sama exclaimed, clasping her hands together with a clap when she understood what had happened. Somehow, she seemed to have reached an understanding.

"Charlotte was aiming for the moment of Therese's death."

"But how could Charlotte have known about it?"

Chris asked, tilting her head.

"The Campbells are a cunning family. They must have left some kind of legacy to their descendants."

"You gave that Therese my scales, didn't you? If they invoke plunder magic in such a way, it would ruin the very countermeasure we have taken!"

"Don't be angry, Sylphy. It's no wonder they took advantage of the death of a human being. ......Hm? The god of creation couldn't sense it?"

Ron-sama, who was appeasing the agitated Sylphy-sama, seemed to have thought of something.

"Could it be possible that Sylphy's scales have fallen into the hands of the girl named Charlotte?"

"If Charlotte took the scales from Therese-san and wore them, wouldn't they repel her plunder magic?"

"The only problem with that is that there is no weakness whatsoever. Even though we can repel magic from the outside, we can still activate magic from the inside."

Ron-sama placed his hand to his forehead.

"What's that? The scales of the Dragon Gods are not all-powerful."

Laura mocked Ron-sama with a giggle.

"Shut up! If we repelled magic from the inside, we, the Dragon Gods, wouldn't be able to use our magic!"

Aah! I see, they are covered with scales all over their bodies.

"So, god of creation. What are you going to do?"

Leon, who was being stroked by May, purring, calmly asked.

"...It is possible to nullify the magic even after the plunder magic has been invoked. However, it will be a little tricky if she is wearing the scales of the Dragon God tribe on her skin."

"So the first step is 'operation: get the scales back from Charlotte'. Why don't we just bait Fluffy-kun and take the scales away from her like we did with my brother?"

Chris had even given a name to the operation as if the idea was a brilliant one.

"That will not be possible, though. Charlotte is allergic to cats."

The ladies gave me a condemning look.

"Charlotte, not me! And don't look at Leon like that!"

"No way! I can't believe there are women out there who can't stand fluff!"

Not all women like fluffy things, Chris. We just happen to be surrounded by a lot of fluff lovers, but there must be women in the world who don't like animals.

"Muh! Who would have thought that my "Enchanting Fluff" would not be appreciated?"

Since when did you learn a skill like "Enchanting Fluff"? Leon. That kind of skill is just too nice.

May cutely cleared her throat.

"Well then, let's go ahead with the 'Operation 'to get the scales back from Charlotte,' and we'll think of a suitable strategy later on. Those of you who attend the Magic Academy, please keep an eye on Charlotte's movements.

Once everyone was in agreement, May reverted back to the young girl she was.

"Welcome back, sister. May I hear a story about Hinoshima?"

An angel. The goddess turned into an angel.

"I would love to, but I can't stay here any longer. I must go back to the capital.

"There's no rush, Rio. Besides, I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so I didn't inform them of the day we would be returning. Let's go back to the capital slowly.

We have not yet notified the Magic Academy that we are returning to school. Chris is right, it might be nice to relax in the territory after a long absence.

"Then let's have a feast ...... to celebrate Rio and Chris's return from the land of Hinoshima!"

These gods are going to have another drinking bout.

"By the way, Yurie. How about hiring a good bodyguard until this matter is settled?"

"Ron-sama. What are your true intentions?"

Ron-sama clenched his fists and spoke forcefully.

"We cannot let the scales of Sylphy fall into the hands of those who use plunder magic!"

As I thought. Ron-sama seems to be very possessive when it comes to Sylphy-sama, isn't he?

"I'll lower the commission fee."

"An all-you-can-eat passport to all the sweet treats in the capital."

"Yes!"

How cheap. Wouldn't these dragon gods easily accept our request if we offered them rice balls and sweets as a reward?

"Just kidding, we'll give you the regular fee for being an S-level adventurer plus an all-you-can-eat passport."

"Hou. What else do you want?"

"I want to be able to use Transfer Magic. I hope that Ron-sama will teach me how to use Transference Magic."

With his usual wry smile, Ron-sama nodded his head.

"Very well."

Thus I had acquired the most powerful bodyguard.
