Chapter 195.5 : (Elsa’s POV) Actually a Young Lady?! The Poster Girl of ‘Sunny Pavilion’!

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

My name is Elsa. I’m managing an inn, the Sunny Pavilion, in the town of Resta. I’m close with Juno, who is my boyfriend. He’s my childhood friend and as of now, he’s working as an adventurer, a very dangerous job to have. I have common bestfriends with Juno, their names are Keigo and Yurina. For both me and Juno, Keigo and Yurina are one of the few friends that not only we can meet with each other almost everyday but someone who we can actually share our real feelings with.

Keigo and Yurina live on the outskirts of Resta and they seem to spend their lives together happily everyday. However, a noble who has Resta under his control, Heinrich, is trying to capture Keigo and Yurina for his own selfish desire. My father is a member of this city’s council and I took over this inn after both of my parents handed this inn to me. Through my father, I’m able to collect information about Heinrich’s movement. 

I, together with Margo and Sarasa, watched Keigo and Yurina leaving Resta. In his letter, Keigo was pretending to be strong, saying that he would return one day but I knew it was impossible. I knew Keigo was a kind man but sometimes his kindness was also his sin. Juno also said the same things as Keigo. 

Men are really stupid. Do they really think I would be happy if they said that?

After that, Margo asked me to lend him my help because he wanted to save Keigo and Yurina. The answer was obvious. In fact, I had been waiting for him to say it even. I told him that of course Juno and I would help. 

My job was to work behind the scenes. I fully utilized my father’s connection, Barrack, as a member of the town’s council and managed the inn to become the secret base of the resistance group, Blue Brigade. I called out my most trusted servants and asked for their cooperation. No matter what, I just couldn’t accept that Keigo and Yurina were being pursued unfairly like this. I simply couldn’t understand why such good people like them would need to suffer through unreasonable injustice like this. 

I was taught that “since they’re a noble, we have to follow their order” but I just couldn’t accept it. 

Father, I’m really sorry. Even though you’ve worked hard until you receive an honorary position as a member of the town’s council and are planning on spending the rest of your life peacefully with your daughter but unfortunately, the situation right now is making it impossible. If we leave this tyranny running amok, even my father’s position might be at risk. 

Furthermore, when I told my father about the injustice my best friend Yurina and Keigo had to suffer through, my father thought about it for a moment before he then agreed to help. I ended up hugging my father out of reflex when he agreed. There was no turning back now. If Juno were to wage war with physical force then I would wage war with something else but physical force.

The chance for this plan to fail was high. Then at the very least, let’s do everything we could so we wouldn’t regret a thing. We would keep on pushing forward with our faith. I had decided to take some of the burden that my best friends were carrying on their back with me. 

Then I closed my eyes, imagining the sight of myself drinking in Keigo’s house with everyone. We were toasting and having fun together…

“I won’t hesitate anymore.”

This was the beginning for the preparation of the venue to start the resistance.

T/N: I hope this means Heinrich will get real punishment? I mean he seems like a real bastard…
