Chapter 63 Part 1 – An unexpected reunion. A nightmare that comes back to life. I am greatly perplexed by the stupid girl that is out of control.

「Aoh!? Awooohhhhh!!」

…… Hello everyone. Nice to see you again.
It’s not that I went crazy or that I mistakenly took up my character when I was a baby.
This is …… a scream ……
I am ashamed to admit that I am on the verge of incontinence due to fear ……
My body may be that of a 3 year old, but my mind is that of a 28 year old, but now’s not the time to talk about that.

I am currently inside the carriage ……

I know some of you may be confused by the sudden change of scene from the previous battle, but please bear with me for a while.

My name is Scarlet Ruby Noel Lingard, the protagonist of this story.
After realizing that I have been repeating my life in a loop for 「108 times」, my days have been filled with life-threatening battles as I try to escape from the ending of being slaughtered by utilizing my knowledge cheat.

It’s really strange ……
During my infancy period in the previous 「108 times」, there were no attacks from demon dogs or mysterious people trying to kill me.
Hasn’t my life become more difficult than the plus portion of the knowledge cheat?

…… Why did it become like this?
Recently, not only romance tags, but also villainess tags are turning their backs on me.
Instead, the battle tag is coming over to me and saying, 「Hey, general, good to see you again」, and putting its hands over my shoulders in a very friendly manner.

At this rate, instead of using the knowledge cheat to become a shut-in, the battle cheat is going berserk.
And it’s not me, it’s all the people around me.

With my soft, young body of less than four years old, I am unable to keep up with the extraordinary battles.
Far from that, it would not even be strange for me to die at any moment.
I don’t want to live my life while walking on this tightrope anymore.
Please don’t let the battle unfold any further …… And yet ……!!

「…… Scarlet-sama …… Alisa is scared. Hug me tight, okay.」

「Aooooooohhhh!! Aoohhhh!!」

Hearing the spoiled voice of an idiotic girl, I screamed at the top of my lungs.
I have fallen into a situation that was more dangerous than a battle.
I would rather welcome a tiger’s roar.
The trauma was coming back from the depths of hell.
My heart clenched.

I winced at the actions of the little devil who hugged me with her whole body to lean coquettishly against me.
Her soft blond hair tickled my cheek.
Her skin is as white as porcelain.
Her blue eyes are like sapphires.
Her face is so lovely that if she were to sit without saying a word, she would be mistaken for an angel.
Even though she is still a little girl, her beauty stands out even in a crowd of well-dressed ladies.
At this age, she has already shown glimpses of the beauty that would later captivate countless men.

…… I’m not happy at all.
I would much rather have a blood-covered Viking rub against my cheek.
…… How did this happen!?
Taking advantage of the fact that my body became stiff due to extreme fear, she began to nuzzle against my cheek.

「…… Mnnn, muaachh」

After confirming that I was still frozen in place, she schemed to kiss me on the cheek.
She’s as brazen as a stray cat.
She hasn’t changed at all from the previous 「108 times」.

Her name is Alisa Diamondi Noel Fontaine.

She is the daughter of the Viscount Fontaine family, a family renowned for its bravery. She is the same age as me, born on the same day and at the same time.
She is also the〈Maiden of Salvation〉, the leader of the rebel army that drove me to my death when I was a queen in the previous 「108 times」.

It was Bradd and the other members of the〈Five Heroes〉who delivered the final blow and killed me, but Alisa, the〈Maiden of Salvation〉, was the one behind it all. The trauma I have toward this girl is equal to the total sum of the trauma I have toward all of the five heroes.

And that’s not all.
The〈Five Heroes〉had a proper reason to resent me, the queen.
So, even if they exacted their revenge against me, I could still accept it.
But not Alisa.

I’m not saying that I want her to feel grateful toward me, but it has always been the me as a young lady that cleaned up after Alisa’s mess as she was a super troublemaker. Sometimes I even took the blame for her. I would even go so far as to say that half of my villainess stigma is due to this girl.

Even so, I could not break off my friendship with Alisa because she was emotionally attached to me.
During the period when I was a young lady, she never betrayed me, despite her excessive skinship and silly outbursts.
Even though she was a bullied child, even though she had a cream puff brain, the moment she heard others bad-mouthing me, she would immediately cry and flare up at the young ladies and noblewomen that were much higher-ranked than her.

…… Honestly, Alisa was like a younger sister to me who was surrounded by betrayal and conspiracy. I could empathize with the saying, ‘The more troublesome the child is, the cuter she is’.

…… But, as soon as I ascended to the throne as queen, she suddenly turned her back on me and raised the banner of rebellion in order to kill me!! I had no intention of stopping my association with Alisa even after I became queen, and in fact, I had even made preparations so that she could visit me at any time in the royal palace.

And yet, Alisa became the boss of a large army before I knew it!!　
Moreover, it was not by chance. She did that in all of the previous 「108 times」.
It was so incomprehensible that I can only describe it as scary!!

…… And so, now that I have recalled all the memories of the previous 「108 times」, I was determined to absolutely not get involved with Alisa, even more than the〈Five Heroes〉. And yet ……!!

「Koaaaahhhhhhh!!」

I let out a scream that sounded like a chicken being strangled and tried to shake off Alisa who was clinging to me. But I can’t push her off. Hey, isn’t she a bit too strong!? Is this girl a wolverine or something!? Even though I have confidence in my grip strength!?

「…… Fufu, you two seem to be close. Just like sisters.」

Mother who was sitting across from me inside the carriage giggled.
Mother’s green classic dress was spotless, even though she has been through some pretty fierce battles, starting with the battle with Mr. Queer Witch. Well, it’s no wonder though. After all, this one is a spare dress.

The Orange Privateers, who had joined us after Seraphy did, had prepared it along with another spare dress for me.
It turns out that when they gave Mary the materials, they asked her for our sizes and secretly tailored it for us.
As expected from Seraphy ……
On top of that, he even provided another carriage to become the ladies changing room ……

「I thought that maybe something like this might happen so ……」

Un, Seraphy, that helped us out, but that line, is it okay for you to say that? What about the copyright?

He even prepared a spare maid uniform for Bradd.
The horses that were manipulated had run amok and tore off the leather straps and other equipment that pulled our carriage, but that had been taken care of as well.

It was beyond amazing to see him prepare this much.
Seraphy, don’t tell me that you even know the color of my panties?

According to Seraphy’s explanation, who was flustered by our taken aback gaze, it seems that this ability is something like the extension of wind reading. It seems that he has a hunch about what will be needed in the near future. What’s with that ability? I really want to have it.

You’re not going to defeat my knowledge cheat, are you?
Please don’t make my sense of existence any fainter than this ……

In any case, thanks to Seraphy’s thorough preparation, we were restored to exactly the same state as before the battle and are now on our way to the ball. It may seem strange to still head there after such a battle, but there is a reason for it. I’ll talk about that later.

Just in case, the carriage’s traction gear had been made to disengage or break if too much burden was applied, so the carriage itself was unharmed. The bitter experience of being trapped and nearly killed in the previous 「108 times」 when the horses fell down due to poisoned arrows and the entire carriage was dragged along by the horses and was flipped over on its side, came in handy in a strange way.

Ah, it was not exactly the same situation as before. Now there’s an extra idiot, Alisa ……
