A few more days passed, and I was finally able to move without drawing attention—as long as I didn’t make any sudden movements.
Still, it’s definitely inconvenient.
“Please keep doing your best from now on. But you really need to cut back on sacrificing yourself…”
It seems the deity is leaving today as well.
I’ve been indebted to them quite a bit these past few days.
I bowed my head and thanked them sincerely.
As I assumed a praying posture one last time, their presence vanished.
Well, I guess it’s time to go back to school.
I have no idea what they’ll say to me, though…
I went to school for the first time in several days.
I could feel the stares from the students and teachers piercingly.
And a murderous intent so strong I could sense it even without my usual intuition.
Yes, it was coming from the princess.
However, she only directed that killing intent at me; she didn’t actually do anything.
Just as I was wondering about that, my homeroom teacher called me to the principal’s office.
“I’m sorry, but you’re expelled.”
That was all.
I simply said, “I understand,” and left the room.
I returned to the classroom to pack up my things.
Just then, the Princess called out to me.
“Cain Valencia!”
“It has been decided that your title will be revoked! How dare you… how dare you take my personal maid… My father has already issued orders to your parents. Do not ever show your face before me again.”
“I see.”
That was all I said.
The people around me were blabbering about how justice had been served.
Things have gotten a little more difficult, but I should still be okay.
Just as I was about to leave with my belongings, an unexpected person called out to me.
“You… why don’t you fix it?”
…It’s the Saint.
“What are you talking about?”
“Well, that eye of yours…”
“Shut up, you failure. Aren’t your own eyes the ones that are rotten?”
“…”
…as expected the Holy Maiden.
I walked out of the classroom.
Holy Maiden’s Perspective
It seems Cain killed the princess’s personal maid.
I never thought he was the type to go that far.
He hired assassins to kill me, treated my classmates coldly…
No, I would have died too if someone hadn’t saved me.
I wonder who saved me.
That’s true, but I felt an even stranger sense of unease than I did back then.
You know, when his expression was off.
…His eyes.
My instincts as a Holy Maiden are telling me.
Can’t he see?
But why?
Even though he can use Holy-attribute magic of that caliber…
Or maybe…
Even when I asked,
“Shut up, you failure. Aren’t your own eyes the ones that are rotten?”
was the reply.
It must have been my imagination after all…
