To Save My Favourite Character, I Decided To Destroy the Game’s Plot

As soon as the match was over, Almire activated a recovery spell, and Saraswati came back completely healed from the severe injuries she had suffered.

"I lost."

[------]"

　Saraswati came down from the arena to us, her eyes red and puffy. She must have cried on the way here.

　I couldn't find the right words to say.

　She had fought with all his might and been beaten to a pulp. She was defeated with no room for excuses.

　How humiliating was that? Because we had trained together, I could not say anything.

'We worked so hard. since I became your pair. I said I would fight you!"

"Saras!"

'Why, why! What am I supposed to deal with? I've been trying so hard, but I can't win a fight that way!"

　Saraswati cried out in public, and it hurt her.

---"

　A thought that usually turns so much. I've overcome every difficulty with this, only now I can't think of anything.

　The only thing that comes to my mind is that I'm so frustrated and sad that I want to start crying too.

　But I shouldn't do that. Saraswathi is probably looking for a friend to lean on.

　If I cried too, Saras would not be able to count on me.

　So I spoke up with my chest out.

"I'll win the rest of it. Saras, thank you for your hard work."

　Saying that, I hugged Saraswati gently.

　I was annoyed by the curious stares of the people around me. What's up with you guys? What's so amusing? You idiots don't even fight your own battles, you just spectate.

　She came here with stronger spirit than you guys. For over a year, she was been really working hard to get this far!

"Let's go that way!"

　I decided to leave, taking the crying Saraswati with me. Lucy's match is still coming up, but Saraswathi takes priority over cheering for the rock. I don't think Lucy will lose.

"Sorry. We're leaving now."

️

　While riding in the carriage that Vasel arranged for me, I talked to Saraswathi who was sitting next to me.

"I'm sorry. I honestly don't know what to say."

"I know."

　Saraswathi stared out the window at the scenery.

　The tears have dried up, and she seems a little calmer now.

"Hey."

　Saraswati opened her mouth, her eyes still on the window.

'Hm?"

"You''re going to win Norwin, right?"

"Of course..."

　I'm sure I can win.

　How much easier it will be if I can answer that.

　In fact, I don't know if I can win. Because even Saraswati who exceeded the limit could not reveal the depths of Lieselotte.

　What if Lieselotte comes over the limit? No matter how much magic there was, there was no way to guarantee a sure victory.

"You don't know if you can win, do you?"

'Well, yes. I'm sorry."

"If you're so sorry, you should win.'

"I'm sorry."

"Oh, God. That's okay. Oh, I cried. I haven't cried like that in a long time."

　After that, we passed the time with a particularly unsubstantial conversation, drowning Saraswati's pain, and returned to the mansion.

　That strength to look forward without any more tears dazzles me. Let's continue to be strong together. And one day, we will surely catch up with and surpass those geniuses.

"What a surprise!"

　The sorcerer, who had been dredging up Ash's memories under Almire's direction, cried out involuntarily at the sight he had just seen.

'What's the matter?'

'I don't care if it's the Commander-in-Chief, the Great General, or the Commander of the Legion right now! Get someone down here now!

"Wait, wait, first tell me what happened--"

　The sorcerer, tongue clucking at his colleague's obliviousness, exclaimed.

'If this kid's memory is correct, this Cassandra woman isn't dead yet!"
