SIDE Irina

"So, please take care of her. High Priestess.

　In her dark bedroom, Irina Valim smiled at the old man.

　She was fed up with the fact that he had asked her for her body as soon as she returned to the Kingdom of Lalva, but now she could not afford to spoil this man's good mood.
　Irina's future career was practically decided by him.

"I'll leave it to you. I've had the pleasure of enjoying such a wonderful body. Now that I've had the pleasure of enjoying such a wonderful body, I can't help but grant your wish.
Thank you.

　Irina bowed and kissed the old priest reverently.
　She was used to kissing people who did not have any affection for her.
　Slowly parting her lips, Irina quickly put on her priestly robe.

　Bam!

　Just then, the door to the sleeping quarters was violently thrown open.

Irina!

　A man bursts in, shouting.

　A knight in glittering armor.
　He is a young man in his mid-twenties with a beautiful face.

　His name is Barnes.
　He was one of the holy knights guarding Irina's person.

It's a lie,......, you slept with a man like that,......?

　Barnes looked alternately at her and the High Priestess, and groaned.

　Irina had already put on her monk's robe, but the High Priestess had left her fat, naked body exposed.
　At first glance, it was obvious what was going on here.

"What the hell are you doing?　You're disrespectful!

　The High Priest chastised him.
　But Barnes didn't flinch and glared at Irina and the High Priest.

"Why, Irina!　We used to love each other!
What do you mean?

　Irina raised her bushy eyebrows.

(I can't believe you just walked in at a time like this.)

　I didn't expect a high ranking holy knight to break into the high priest's bedchamber.
　I thought he was a bit more sensible than that...

　I thought he would be a little more sensible... but jealousy can do that to a man.
　He sighed inwardly.

"Hey, Irina. What the hell is going on here?

　The High Priestess looks at her and Barnes in turn, confused.

"Help me, High Priestess. He's been coming on to me for some time.

　Irina immediately created a scenario in her mind and explained in a weak voice.
I'm sure you'll agree with me.

But when I said no, she got upset and...
"I see, a one-sided love affair.

　The High Priestess snorted.

"Get lost, boy. Irina is my woman.
What the hell is ......?
As you can see, we're already engaged. As you can see, we're already bound together in body and soul. There's no room for you.
"Irina, are you saying that my relationship with you was just a game?　I'm sure you'll be able to understand that I'm not the only one.

　Barnes shouted in shock.

　Irina looked at him coldly.
　How can men be so simple and stupid?
　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

"Oh ...... High Priestess, please protect me.

　I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.

"Even with such falsehoods ...... you are trying to impress me as if I were a slut!

　I shed an acted tear.

I'll get rid of it. I'll get rid of her.

　The High Priest was completely fooled and chanted a spell.

"'Mindwave'!

　It is a spell that interferes with the mind and causes pain.

It is a mind-altering and painful spell. "But ...... is ......?

　It is a spell that interferes with the mind and causes pain.

"Ha, ha, ha .......

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　The priest glared back at him.

"I say again. Go away.
"d*mn you, ......!

　Barnes spat viciously and fled.



"Goodbye, sir.

　Irina left the room, closing the door behind her.



　Barnes intervened unexpectedly, but nothing happened.
　The High Priestess was pleased with the results.
　It was a good result.

　Soon, Irina will be nominated to be the next high priestess.
　She's the first woman to do so.

　She defeated the Demon Lord as a member of a party of brave men, and her innocent good looks made her very popular with the public.
　The Order will not leave her alone.

　Nevertheless, she needed one last push.
　That's why Irina allowed that man - the current High Priestess - to touch her.

　It was a betrayal of her lover, the brave Juno, but she didn't care.
　She was willing to use a woman's weapon.

　She had approached Yuno because she had given up on her former lover, Chrom.
　He could not lead me to a higher place.

(I'll ...... run up more. I'm going to run further, to the pinnacle of power in this world.



"Dear Irina, the results of our investigation have arrived.

　A girl came to Irina.

　She's still young, but she's a promising priestess with strong faith and magical powers.
　She was a promising young priestess with strong faith and magical power, who was said to be a high priestess in the future, and could be called Irina's confidant.

"Please pay.

　He reverently presented the report.

Thank you, sir. I'm always grateful for your work.

　Irina thanked him with a flowery smile.

"......!　It's a waste of words, saint.

　The girl blushed.
　What was written on it was....

　A man and a woman with hoods over their eyes. Details unknown.
　Method of attack: details unknown.
　Attributes of the magic: unknown.
　Victims: Duke of Riot and dozens of guards.

　.......

So most of them are unknown.

　Irina furrowed her bushy eyebrows.
　Suddenly, a few images appeared in her mind.

"This is...

The Oracle.
　It's an ability that only high-ranking priests possess, the ability to see into the past, the future, and other events that would otherwise be invisible.

　But its manifestation was accidental.
　You can't control it.

　The scene that emerged from the oracle was...

Terrible. ......

　It was a storm of carnage that made me shudder.

　A pair of hooded and cloaked men heading straight down the street.
　They seemed to be a young man and a girl.

　The young man gave off an evil vibe.
　An evil atmosphere.

　Like a demon... no, more evil than that.
　And anything that came near him would spurt blood and vanish in a cloud of dust.
　Just then, his hood flipped up momentarily in the wind, revealing the young man's face.

"No way. ......

　She gulped.

　He looked a lot like a man she knew.
　However, his hair was now silver and, most importantly, his eyes were different.

　Murky eyes that seemed to resent and hate everything in this world.
　The chrome that she once fell in love with for the first time in her life is different from him, who had straight, fresh eyes.

In the first place, that man should be dead. ......

　Am I getting sentimental because he was my first lover?

　No, no.
　I'm not upset about that.

　I just... I couldn't get rid of the bad feeling.
