Episode 260: Saint's prison (Third Party Perspective)
"Get out."
"Understood, desu."
Prompted by the masked man, the girl dressed in white priest's clothes stands up from her seat and moves out of the room while being sandwiched between the masked men in front and behind.
The moment she steps out of the heavy door, her vision opens.
It is a deserted airport. The buildings and runways that are standing alone in the wilderness spread out, and the contrast with the blue sky is beautiful.
"Hey."
"Yes, yes, desu."
The girl, who was taking in the view for a while, is pestered from behind and descends the stairs hung on the plane and lands on the ground.
Her name is Noelle. She is one of the world's leading Healers, called a Saint.(TN:Technically I should be translating this as Saintess, but I don't feel like changing it.)
A car that looks like a military vehicle and men in military uniforms are waiting for Noelle there.
"Welcome to our country. Saint Noelle."
"Nn ~ , I would have been happier if it was a more peaceful invitation, desu."
"Hahahahaa. That's harsh. Even though we were peaceful enough. We didn't kill anyone ... at this point."
"Haa ... Even though the country is in trouble, I want you to choose a little better means, desu ~."
The man who greets her has a medal on his chest, and his clothes are more luxurious than the other soldiers, suggesting that he is the highest-ranking man among the men here.
As far as Noelle can see, it seems to be somewhere in the Middle East.
There are also traces of the destruction of the airfield everywhere, and she speculates that the Stampede has caused a great deal of damage.
The Stampedes that have occurred around the world have damaged several countries to the point of falling into national crisis. This place seems to be one of them.
"So, have you heard what you need to do in our country?"
"More or less."
"That's good. Will you follow me quietly?"
"Understood, desu."
The commander nods in satisfaction at Noelle's reply, and Noelle follows his instructions.
If it were just the masked men inside the plane, it wouldn't be impossible to escape when she sees an opening, but she can see that the few soldiers here have more magical power than the masked men, and at least have the power of an A-rank.
That's why Noelle decides to obey.
"Get in."
"Yes."

Noelle climbs into the car, still handcuffed, and the soldiers sit around her, the commander gives orders from the passenger seat, and they depart the airfield.
"This is terrible, desu."
After a while, Noelle mutters after seeing the cityscape.
Burnt down houses and buildings can be seen in the area, and rubble is piled up everywhere in the city, and there is no shadow of the cityscape that must have been there. It should have been about a month since the Stampedes ended, but there seems to be no progress in reconstruction activities.
The town's residents are also hunched over, wearing tattered clothes that contrast with the clothing of the soldiers who greeted Noelle. Were they not eating properly, most of the inhabitants that she can see are emaciated, and there are even young children among them.
"That's right. Our country is in dire straits right now. To the extent that we brought you here without question."
"Is there anything else you can do about it, desu?"
"We've done everything we can, but we can't do what we can't do, and there's nothing more we can do. Because we need to be in perfect condition, we are given priority for food and other things, however, I don't know how long we can continue. I'm sorry for you, but we don't have the luxury of choosing the means."
"Is that so, desu."
The commander answers Noelle's muttering, and Noelle finds out about the situation in this country and sympathizes with him. How good of a person is Noelle, despite being forcibly brought here.
"This is?"
"From now on, this is your workplace."
Noelle is brought to a small hut on the outskirts of town in the corner of a vast plain covered by a strong fence. Even though it is called a hut, it is only called that because it is small, but it is clear that its construction is made of strong materials.
When she enters, there is only a room with a bed. There is a toilet and bath inside.
"I will have you make food here. Of course, I do not intend to make your life inconvenient. I will serve three meals. However, as long as your magical power holds up every day, you will continue to make it from morning to night. You will always be under surveillance when you go outside, so please don't think about running away."
"I don't have a choice, so that's fine, desu. I have no intention of running away, desu. Ahh. Can I get a computer or internet, desu?"
When the commander tells Noelle about her future schedule, Noelle, who has no intention of running away, begins negotiations to improve her life.
As for Noelle, she wants to view internet novels and anime if possible, so she wants an internet environment and a computer if possible.
"I can't give you a means of communication."
"Then what about power generation machine, a TV, a DVD player, and Japanese anime?"
"We will prepare them according to your achievements."
However, as expected, she can't get anything that will allow her to contact anyone. However, it is promised that various things will be prepared depending on the results.
"Hooray, desu!!"
"Haa ... You're a carefree person ... Even though you have a future where you'll be domesticated for the rest of your life ..."
Noelle is happy, but the soldiers are dumbfounded at Noelle's optimism.
The commander's last words, that she will be domesticated as a machine that will continue to produce food here for the rest of her life, does not reach Noelle.
