NovelEnglishVictor and Leon appeared to be stuck for ideas.
I stretch my body upward. I felt tired as a result of having climbed all the way up here.
Maybe it was because I had been so focused…. But it was time for the real work to begin.
“Tired?”
“No way.”
I showed my stubborn attitude. I couldn’t let Victor take advantage of me at a place like this.
I mean, neither Victor nor Leon were normal people. They hardly looked tired during this trip.
“Do you have any ideas, Master?”
“None at the moment.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI answered with a confident smile.
Leon stiffened, not expecting such an answer, while Victor muttered, without surprise, “I knew it”.
First, I had no idea how to harvest Maddie.
I tried to use magic to get the Maddie earlier, but I couldn’t take it out. Maybe there were some special powers at work.
I knew that Maddie would not be so easy to take. I thought it would be a piece of cake if I could use magic, but it seemed that magic was useless against Maddie.
If I forced myself to use all of my magical abilities, I might end up damaging the Maddie.…
“What should we do?”
Leon muttered somewhat impatiently.
Of course, he would be impatient, his brother’s life was at stake.
“Maybe one of us should approach it?”
“You’re going to stick your hand in that place surrounded by poisonous plants?”
“I don’t see any other way.”
Victor glared at me lightly.
We had to come up with something fast…. It was not good to remain here for a long time because the air here was thin. To fall apart in a place like this would be like dying before the goal.
It was not in my nature to join forces, but now I had to.
“I’ll go. So, if a bear or something tried to attack you like it did before, hold it at bay.”
Determined, I spoke up, and Leon responded immediately.
“If the Master wishes to do it, I should go first.”
“I have a better chance of success than you do.”
My tone was a little strong, and Leon didn’t say anything back. It might sound cold, but there was no way I was going to let Leon go first.

Victor interjected.
That might be true, but I was smaller and could use magic better than him. But for some reason I couldn’t bring myself to say it.
“Strong people should protect others. They usually don’t do anything. Only show their strength when it is necessary.”
Victor grinned at my words.
“…Why are you in such a rush to die? Is it your hobby to cut down your life?”
Please don’t be silly. I refused to die until I go down in history as a Villainess.
“This is just me and my pride.”
“…What pride? Is it worth risking your life to collect Maddie? I would give up my pride if it were to save my life. You want to be unashamed of who you are? You’re just a fool if you’re going to risk your life just to be cool.”
Victor looked at me, and Leon shifted his gaze to me without saying anything.
What he was saying made sense to me. But we just see things differently.
“I don’t think I deserve to live without pride, you know?”
Without looking away from Victor, I told him.
