Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 208.1

Saint of Glamour

“…I see. You seem to have good powers.”

At the end of the year, when the magic academy was on winter break, an elderly man was facing a girl in the temple of the Holy Church in the royal capital.

The man’s name was Hiram. He was visiting from Fandora, where the main temple of the Holy Church is located, to identify the [Saint] who had been admitted to the temple of the Kingdom of Cleydale.

The girl, introduced to him by the head of the temple and his grandson, is Baroness Alicia Melrose. She is said to be 13 years old, but for a noblewoman who grows by magic, she looks very young, only about 14 or 15 years old.

However, Hiram noticed a “darkness” lurking behind her carefree smile.

(…a frightening child.)

There have been quite a few Saint certifications in the past.

Each country’s temple is contacted several times a year by the main shrine to confirm that the saints they recognize are the real ones. Each time, someone with the title of priest like Hiram would go to confirm it, but most of them were noble daughters who could only use light magic to some extent, and the name Saint was used to foil the daughters.

However, most of them are recognized as [Saint] by the main shrine. From the current value system, the political reason to give peace to the people and the huge donation paid to the main shrine are more useful than the real Saint who fights off the Evil Race.

In the 30 years that Hiram has been a member of the Orthodox Church, he has never met a true Saint.

It is said that the Saint who existed about a hundred years ago, when the war with the Evil Race was raging, was loved by spirits and used [sacred magic], which is different from light magic, and that its essence is closer to [combat skill] than [magic].

The girl before Hiram’s eyes had a low magic value and could hardly be considered a Saint, but even Hiram, who was wary of her, felt a fascinating attraction the moment he met her, as if his heart was bonded just by looking at her.

It is said that true Saints have a unique atmosphere that is loved by all.

In the past, there was a woman who tried to become a Saint by [the ability to charm] with [Gift], but the powerful [charm] that could manipulate the hearts of others came at a steep price, and after about 1,000 people had been charmed, the woman’s life was over.

It was not the fault of the spirit who gave Divine Protection, but rather the tragedy of the spirit’s failure to understand that the desires of humanity are limitless.

I don’t feel that much power from this girl. If fascination had been used, the temple head who spoke to her before meeting her would have felt uncomfortable.

There is a “darkness” in this girl. But if this charm that we can feel is the result of being loved by the spirits, then this girl also has enough qualities to be a [Political Saint], even if she will never become a “real” one.

If she uses her power well, she will be able to increase the influence of the legal state within the kingdom.

“So, Mr. Saint. The Temple of the Dharma Kingdom recognizes your presence and wishes to walk with you.”

“My pleasure! Please, Master Hiram, I look forward to working with you!”
