Even if I had to risk my life on a dangerous gamble, I couldn’t abandon those precious people who believed in me and stayed by my side… That was why…
I couldn’t retreat.
Even if it was a risky gamble with my life, I couldn’t step back.
I pulled out the gun from the holster. Fortunately, there were enough magic bullets left.
“Come on.”
“…Do you really want to die?”
“I said come. You son of a bitch.”
Zero wasn’t by my side. The annoying quest notification that persistently tormented me was now quiet.
As a self-proclaimed saint, I had neither the ability to wield divine power on my own nor could I access my status. I was a half-baked saint.
‘I might die.’
If no miracle happened to me, if that were the case, I might die like this.
Like that day when I lost my parents on a cold winter day and cried bitterly, as lonely as the day I vowed to do everything alone with no one by my side.
A heavy despair would take my life.
But I wasn’t afraid.
“I am the saint directly chosen by God. It’s me, you fool. Is God so terrifying? Just because I claim to be the real saint, you freeze. Indeed, these black-hearted villains are not supposed to be like this…”
As I blurted out some nonsense, the guy who had been backing away had a facial expression that changed as if various colors had been mixed and sprayed. He seemed quite irritated.
“If that’s your wish, then kill me.”
Before he finished speaking, he jumped up, and Siena’s body, dressed in a loose maid’s outfit, approached me with just one breath. Her sharp high heels targeted my head.
“Crush the head that talks arrogantly.”
I was prepared to take a hit, considering the continuous foul language. It was regrettable that it happened faster than I expected, and I couldn’t even prepare to block.
“Your Grace…!”
Ruth and Benedict called me pitifully while coughing and hacking. I felt guilty hearing the guilt-ridden tone in their voices.
‘It’ll be okay.’
Such groundless confidence surfaced.
‘I probably won’t die here like this.’
The protagonist’s law in the book is that even when it seems very, very dangerous, they survive safely and bounce back.
If I were chosen as the new protagonist in this divine realm, they wouldn’t want to discard another messed-up story.
‘So, do something, anything!’
The moment I silently screamed for help inside, the pain didn’t reach me.
‘…Huh?’
Opening my eyes, the sharp high heel that should have pressed down on my head was hovering in the air in an ambiguous posture.
“What is this…?”
When I looked at Siena, or rather, the culprit, his expression twitched strangely, as if wearing a mask split in half.
“What is this nonsense? Siena! Can’t you stop right now?”
“No… ‘Father.’ I feel that this is not right.”
“It will benefit me! It’s the right thing to do!”
“’Father’… No, you’re not my father… My real parents who gave birth to me and raised me weren’t monsters like you. I was… murdered. I wasn’t someone who could kill people at will following orders. I hate it, hate it, hate it.”
Squeak. Squeak. Awkwardly, Siena’s joints bent unnaturally, like a rusty iron doll. The two halves bickered loudly.
“Do you dare to confront the benefactor who saved you? Are you in your right mind?”
“I am sane… Much more than when you concealed my memories. You are not my father, and I have the right to move my body. Stop trying to control and manipulate my body as you please with magic. It’s unpleasant…”
“This!”
Siena, split into two consciousnesses, began to fight internally without attacking me. Since the red pattern didn’t disappear, I don’t know how much Siena, the rightful owner of the body, can endure, but… I cheered for her.
The moment I barely pulled myself together, “Click.”
A small, fluffy, warm creature rushed toward my face.
“Hey, you fool!”
Ah, a familiar and annoying voice.
“What the hell were you thinking?! It could have been a disaster!”
I don’t know who attached it, but Zero came at me with fairy-like wings attached to his back at full speed.
“Zero!”
“Is this crazy girl trying to die on purpose?”
His voice was so trembling with worry that I did something I hadn’t done before.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
