Unedited . Sorry!

This is bad . This is very bad .

This is normally impossible .

Why is this happening to me? It’s kind of funny how I’m only here to deliver bentos to Soniti-san and somehow end up in this situation .   

After all, don’t you think it’s better if my existence was put to the side for Aldinsama? So…for her to ask for me while I make my bento delivery surprised me . Why is she looking for me? Am I in the way of her? Is she is trying to eliminate the former Priestess?

If it’s for that reason, that’ll explain the situation .

In that’s the case, will I be able to escape from Sotini-san?

However, the priests are familiar with magic . The female priests who were my companions were able to use magic . Sotini-san should probably be able to use magic too . She should have mastered many techniques that can probably stop me .

I should wait and see what happen .

My right hand is still wearing the bracelet Ordias-sama gave me .  

I shouldn’t depend on the bracelet, but if something were to happen to me, Ordias-sama would be alerted . He should be able to help me . Right?

“Excuse me . ” (Sotini)

While I was thinking, we’ve arrived to Aldinsama’s room .

It’s in the same room as I’ve stayed in .

If you’re trying to capture me, you shouldn’t have guided me to Aldinsama’s room . What are you waiting for?

“Aldinsama, I’ve brought Haruksan . ” (Sotini)

As soon as Sotini-san open the door, a soft fragrance tickled my nose .

In the large room, there is an eye-catching carpet with a calm deep green pattern . The white walls also have a green pattern . When I was living in this room, it was a pretty pinkish atmosphere . This impression is totally different from that time .

“I’m waiting . Come on in . ” (Aldina)

Sitting on the chair, she stood up slowly as she invites us into the room .

There’s no doubt that this is the Aldinsama who I saw previously at the parade . Today Aldinsama is wearing a simple white dress with her soft golden hair sweep loosely to one side . She looks relaxed compared to that time at the parade .

Geez…it’s really her .

When I see her up close, her beauty is much more prominent . I think that she is around the same age as me . Her face is small with pale skin and slender arms . Her height is considerably taller than me who stands at 160 cm . Even so, she still a delicate beauty .

“I’m sorry for suddenly inviting you here . ” (Aldina)

The person spoke to me in a gentle voice with a dignified expression .

I looked around the room, but it seems like it’s unlikely for soldiers to be waiting for us .

If they’re not hiding in the closet, Aldinsama would be the only person in this room .

“What are you standing for? Please sit down . I will prepare the tea . ” (Aldina)

“Eh…” (Haruka)

Aldinsama directed me to a chair across from where I was sitting .

It’s uncommon for the Priestess and a simple commoner to be sitting together . I glance over to Sotini-san, who guided me so far, for some help . She instead stood at the corner of the room like a statue . In this country, it is a tradition to be still and not speak in front of someone of higher status .

Since there’s no helping it, I sat down on the chair .

Soon a lady brought in tea . She immediately left the room so there’s only the three of us together . Moreover, Sotini-san seems to have taken over a supervisory role with no intention of joining the conversation .

“You’re Haruksan . I’m glad because I wanted to see you . ” (Aldina)

“M-me?” (Haruka)

“Yes, you are the one who delivers the delicious bento . Thank you so much for everything . ” (Aldina)

Bento! An unexpected word jumped out Aldinsama’s pretty lips . Perhaps the bento I delivered have been eaten by Aldinsama . Well, that would be bad . What happens if you were poisoned? I sent a glance fill with criticism at Sotini-san . But, as usual, Sotini-san continues to be a statue .

“I’m surprised Aldinsama had been able to eat it . ” (Haruka)

What else should I say?

“Yes, I’m sorry . ” (Aldina)

Aldinsama laughed happily .

Oh, that smile is too lovely . If you can show a smile like that, all man will fall for you .

For example, even a st.u.r.dy solid knight would fall for that smile .

“After a long time, I finally had a great meal inside the city . Sotini-san heard about the good reputation of the bento that was being delivered to the royal palace so I arranged one to be sent to me . I’m sorry if this sounds ridiculous . ” (Aldina)

“No, that’s not ridiculous . ” (Haruka)

It’s surprising that Aldinsama has an interest in the taste of the common people . I’m not sure if this is the case .

“I’m no more than a young lady who had originally served G.o.d in a small rural church . ” (Aldina)

Aldinsama starts to talk about herself .

She was a very ordinary girl who was living in the countryside without any n.o.bility . At home, she has a father, a mother, and a little sister .

Aldinsama, who was living in a very humble way, went to the church in the town and spent the day praying to G.o.d . However, Aldinsama’s “power” drawn in the public’s eye . The “power” was in fact magic . It’s common for a person who excels in magic to become either a magician or a priest .

At the time, Aldinsama said that the priest of the church said she has a good chance with either of them . Aldinsama, who was used to spending time at the church from a young age, chose to go down the path of priesthood without hesitation . She began as a priest’s a.s.sistant in the small town and began to climb up the stairs to the top with her rare magical power .

“I was surprised when I was suddenly chosen as the Priestess . I still continue to try my best since I’ve been chosen for the role . Every day I have to put in the effort to be a worthy person to be everyone’s ideal Priestess . I don’t have a lot of power so I feel sorry for those who is currently standing up for me . But I have to work hard to inspire myself every day . ” (Aldina)

 Aldinsama smiles weakly .

“It’s so hard to keep up with what’s going on in front of me, so I just feel nostalgic about the past . This meal was one of them . The meal here is very nice and I am thankful . It reminds me of the simple taste I used to have at my parent’s house . Sotini-san understood my feeling so she brought me a bento from Haruksan’s diner . ”  (Aldina)

The soft voice was directed to Sotini-san .

Sotini-san remind still, but I could tell her cheeks is slightly flushed .

“I was very impressed with the taste of the bento . It was delicious and nostalgic . It’s a mysterious feeling that warms me from the bottom of my heart so I had to call for you . ” (Aldina)

Is that all?

I secretly pat my heart to calm down .

Maybe she’s not lying to me . It shouldn’t be profitable to have to make up such a lie . It looks like she didn’t realize my status as the former Priestess . It was simply a matter of grat.i.tude when she invited me here .

Even so, it’s surprising that Aldinsama was an ordinary town girl .

I didn’t know about Ardinsama’s existence when I was the Priestess . If you’re a strong priest with status, they would’ve greeted me at least once . Aldinsama had climbed up those stairs herself and have finally become the Priestess who stands at the top . If it is said in the language of the original world, would it be known as the American dream? *  Is there any difference?

After listening to Aldinsama’s personal story, I was tempted to support her .

I know her situation very well since I came from a different world . I was lonely every day, but I cannot return . The people around me just lift me up high as the Priestess without seeing the real me .

There’s definitely anxiety and impatience since no one can understand so it was smoldering in my heart .

Aldinsama may have spent the same day as me with the same thought .

Even so, she is still able to do her best . Aldinsama is amazing .

Because I wouldn’t have been able to .

(I also wish I could do something for Aldinsama . )

I felt strong, but it was clear that I could not support her .

Rather, my existence would only bring harm for Aldinsama . It is said that Aldinsama would be driven to a bad position if it made known that I’m the former Priestess . I don’t have any power left so I don’t think that’ll be possible . I rather have Aldinsama as the Priestess .

(Aldinsama is trying to do her best . )

I don’t want to interfere .

The only thing I can do is to just disappear from this world .

(Oh, that’s right . )

The loneliness that Aldinsama feels can be healed by someone .

For her sake, Sotini-san has prepared the bento for the common people for her . She shouldn’t feel lonely if there someone who cares for her . Aldinsama seems to have a good relations.h.i.+p with her other companions .

And . There’s another person .

“Aldinsama, I’m coming n . ”

Suddenly, a sharp man’s voice appears in the room .

The door opens widely without waiting or Aldinsama’s reply .

The one who came in was Noel, who is currently Aldinsama’s escort knight .
