Even though I told him that I am not the Young Lady of Floné, he still calls me that. Well, I knew he wouldn’t believe it anyway.
I picked up the harpoon and looked at him as I shrugged.
“I thought you were a beast. Who told you to sneak a peek like that?”
Ruzef was still pure and innocent. However, he had a very ferocious personality and was difficult to get close to. Yuanna also had quite a hard time getting close to him.
“Who’s peeking at you!?”
Ruzef shouted.
He looked at me up and down for a moment, then looked over my shoulder.
There, the fish I had caught lay on the gravel field.
“By the way, did you really hunt for fish?”
At his question, I nodded with a puzzled face. He stared at the fish lying on the gravel field, in awe.
He must have been watching me catch fish in the river.
“The Young Lady of Floné really did hunt fish…… I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it myself. This is nonsense. All the monsters passing by will laugh at me.”
Ruzef looked at me and talked gibberish as if he had lost his mind.
‘The monsters passing by would laugh at you? That’s too much.’
Then, suddenly, a very low voice came from behind him.
“Who are you peeking at?”
It was Enoch.
His sharp gaze turned to Ruzef.
“It’s been a long time, Archbishop. By the way, if you want to save your life, you’d better keep your mouth shut.”
His low voice sounded like the growl of an animal.
If his voice alone could tear people apart, Enoch would probably have been tearing Ruzef apart.
“The Crown Prince?”
Ruzef looked at Enoch in disbelief.
Enoch and Ruzef reacted as if they had met each other for the first time on this island.
It seems that Diego didn’t tell his party that he met Enoch regularly.
“Is there anyone else?”
“That…… I don’t know.”
It seems that he hid the details of his party from Enoch as well.
Diego was one of the male leads who wanted to monopolize Saintess Yuanna, so it was understandable.
“How can Your Highness be here? No, why is Your Highness here with such a witch-like girl? Did that witch do anything to Your Highness?”
Ruzef looked at me with a hateful face. I’m tired of this.
“No wonder, I was suspicious from the moment she asked me to make a love potion. No normal person would try to win someone’s heart that way. You witch! Tell me what the hell happened!”
“Haaah……”
With a tired face, I pressed on my temple hard then I loaded the Fringe Plank[1] and pulled the Hammer down.
[1] The ammo type used for a flare gun.
“Archbishop? Are you going to keep talking like that?”
Then I pointed the muzzle of the flare gun at Ruzef.
“You know what this is, right? Boom!”
As I pulled the trigger and pretended to shoot, Ruzef’s face turned white.
“If you know, shut up and raise your hand. Before I shoot you.”
It was a line I wanted to say once before I died.
Ruzef knelt down and raised both hands. Even though his white uniform was messed up, his water-blue hair looked silky.
Because of the drooping corners of his eyes, his impression was gentle, but never judge a person by just looking at his face. How can he have a bad temper with such a sad face?
“As expected, you witch—!”
puck!
Ruzef couldn’t finish his sentence because Kayden kicked him in the back.
“Ugh!”
Kayden smiled as he stomped on Ruzef’s back.
“Do you want to die? Oh, what are you wearing? A priest uniform? Are you a priest?”
At Kaiden’s words, I remembered that there was a deep historical conflict between the wizards and the priests.
“Hey…… did you crawl in because you wanted to die by my hands?”
The more Kayden continued, the more Rizef frowned as his back was stomped on.
“You dirty wizard……!”
Come to think of it, the priests treated the wizards as human beings with corrupted souls.
Wizards were similar to scientists in modern times, but they did all their research.
When it comes to research, the wizards did not hesitate to experiment with living things.
In fact, if it was an experiment, it was also done in the temple secretly, but the priests criticized the wizards as if they had never conducted an experiment.
Naturally, the wizards were disgusted with the priests.
Enoch, who quietly watched the war of nerves between the two, sighed.
Just then, Ruzef got up and straightened his clothes.
“Hey, Ddaggari[2], who told you to get up?”
[2] This is a rather rude word that more or less means: a person (or slave) who is clinging to an influential person.
As Kayden patted him on the shoulder, Ruzef’s face was greatly distorted.
Often priests say that they are servants of God. So the wizards used the word ‘Ddaggari’ to make fun of the priests.
“Shut up, you loser.”
At Ruzef’s words, Kayden burst into laughter.
“This bastard doesn’t even know how to swear.”
“Don’t talk as if you are in the same social status as me.”
Ruzef clenched his teeth as he looked at Kayden.
Kayden nodded without sincerity. That made Ruzef angrier, but it was clear that he intended it.
I stood arm in arm with Enoch and watched the fight between the two, and then asked Ruzef.
“Are you alone?”
As far as I remember, Ruzef should have been with Yuanna’s party.
Ruzef, who was still arguing with Kayden, turned to me and answered with his red face.
“No, I am not.”
It seems that he is still with the female lead.
“But why are you walking around alone?”
Ruzef’s face reddened in a different way this time at my question. He glanced at Kayden and Enoch for a moment, then looked over my shoulder.
Bewildered, I turned my back, and at the end of Ruzef’s gaze, there were fish I had caught earlier.
Ruzef said hesitantly, “To get something to eat…… The truth is, I haven’t eaten anything but fruit for several days.”
He sneakily looked into our eyes as if he was embarrassed by that fact.
“I used to hunt small animals like rabbits, but these days, I can’t find any huntable animals. And because no one knows how to fish……”
How come no one knows how to fish?
Only then did I recall that the male leads in Yuanna’s party were the Knight Commander, Priest, and Crown Prince of Hestia Kingdom. I don’t think they’ve ever hunted fish……
“Do you want some fish?”
Ruzef’s face brightened at my question. But he switched to alert mode as soon as my eyes met his.
“Are you really the Young Lady Floné I know?”
That must be an essential line from the male leads who met me for the first time. Is it even on the list of questions that must be asked?
“It doesn’t matter if she’s the Young Lady you know or not. You won’t see Margaret after today anyway.”
Ruzef was perplexed by Enoch’s bloody remarks and bit his lip.
When he said, ‘You won’t see Margaret after today anyway’, it sounded like he was definitely going to kill Ruzef.
Am I Medusa? Why would he die if he saw me again?
I laughed out loud because it was so funny.
growling.
And after a moment of silence, there was a loud sound from Ruzef’s stomach asking for food.
As we looked at Ruzef at the same time, he panicked and lowered his head with a flushed face.
The sun was about to set, so it was time for us to have dinner.
I roasted the fish I had hunted earlier over a bonfire. On the other hand, Ruzef opened his eyes wide with a curious expression on his face as he watched what I was doing.
“So this is how to roast fish.”
Ruzef gulped as he spoke, but he didn’t seem to even realize he was doing it.
He must be so hungry……

Feeling a little sorry for him, I put aside for a moment the fact that he called me a witch.
I handed him a piece of fish and he ate it hastily.
He thanked me over and over again with a bright face.
As expected, no one could survive in the face of starvation. I can’t believe he’s grateful for the help of the person he hates.
Ruzef eventually finished the meal with a satisfied face after finishing up Enoch’s portion of fish as well.
