NOVEL NEXT chapter 250
Chapter 250. Noah, Man, I’m So Busy
The reason Noah assumed it was Valentina was, of course, because it had been her for the past few times.
Moreover, this matched the original setting, where the righteous heroine lost to a demon and suffered a humiliating defeat.
In most cases in the original work, after being humiliated, the heroine would find a chance to escape.
But if the heroine was humiliated and unable to escape, then there was a high possibility she would be transformed into a demon.
As for those who lost to ordinary people and couldn’t escape, they ended up as either star slaves or b*tch/sows.
Even if it was arranged by a goddess or the will of the world, it wouldn’t mess with Noah’s head.
Because while that outcome for the heroine was one Noah disliked the most, at the same time, it would trigger his rebellious nature and have the opposite effect.
In that case, it was better to have a defeated ending where she turned into a demon.
Plus, this demonic flower was a demon that Noah and Valentina had faced together personally.
Noah, of course, would naturally assume that this was the defeat ending of Valentina, an outcome that shouldn’t have even existed.
But no matter how you looked at that face, it was Princess Veronica.
…No wonder she was hiding her face and changing her hair color.
It turned out, from the very beginning, it wasn’t the Princess herself, but her younger sister, though she was also a princess, I suppose.
Looking up at the demonic flower little princess, who had completely vanished into magic particles, Noah’s expression turned serious.
You see, the little princess’s own combat power was very weak. Generally speaking, she couldn’t possibly fight a demon and lose to it.
Unless she also became the heroine of a defeat game, gaining some kind of power that Noah wasn’t aware of.
Of course, it could also be that he just randomly stumbled upon the little princess, and next time it might be someone else.
But since the opponent was Valentina’s sister, it was hard for Noah to believe it was a coincidence.
With that thought, Noah immediately began observing the little princess Veronica’s actions.
However, Veronica wasn’t doing anything particularly special at this time.
She was still with her twin brother, the little prince, just like usual, and didn’t seem out of the ordinary.
…Is she going to become the heroine in the future?
…Or has she already become the heroine, but of the ‘secretly saving the world heroine’ type, so it’s not obvious on the surface?
Noah wasn’t sure. He needed to observe her more.
Because he felt it was suspicious, Noah simply returned to the dilapidated temple and began observing Veronica’s actions.
After observing for about thirty minutes, Noah indeed noticed an anomaly with Veronica.
“That jeweled necklace… is it perhaps a transformation device?”
The situation currently displayed in the magic array monitor was this:
Little Princess Veronica, having been complimented by a noblewoman on how cute her necklace was, carefully touched it while showing a rare, uninhibited, and pure smile without any shadows.
Noah was certain that even if it was a gift from Delia, the Queen, or even Valentina, Veronica wouldn’t have shown such a youthful, pure smile.
If he hadn’t seen this scene, Noah would have thought the necklace was just an ordinary one she’d bought herself, and wouldn’t have thought there was a problem with it.
But judging from the way she was acting towards it, that thing was likely of extraordinary significance to her.
According to Noah’s experience, that thing was very likely some kind of transformation device.
In other words, the heroine of a so-called magical girl themed ero-game.
“…Tch, this is going to be troublesome.”
Although Veronica in the image looked very happy, Noah was filled with pessimism about her future.
Being a heroine of an ero-game wasn’t so easy.
Veronica’s mental fortitude wasn’t as strong as Valentina’s to begin with.
Although Valentina’s wasn’t very high either, it was, at least, at a moderate level.
Veronica, with her pampered upbringing and inability to defy the adults around her, was just the lowest tier.
Not to mention, Veronica was three to four years younger than Valentina.
Noah couldn’t bear to imagine how miserable she’d be, so full of naive confidence that she could change her own weakness, only to immediately encounter a tentacle and be defeated.
In the original work, Noah was only interested in the heroine, Valentina.
As for Veronica in the original work, she was just a NPC without even an icon, so Noah naturally didn’t have any feelings for her.
But after actually meeting her, Noah still found Veronica quite cute.
And she was Valentina’s younger sister.
…No, Noah really couldn’t pretend he hadn’t seen it, he had to step in and help.
Even if this evil god had to exit Valentina’s story, Noah planned to approach the little princess Valentina with another identity.
Like, maybe turn into some kind of cute pet.
Kids definitely like adorable pets, like a toy cat with angel wings, a talking pet ferret, or an alien creature that looks like a white weasel.
Veronica becoming the third heroine Noah had encountered was completely unexpected for him.
Luckily, the stories of the first and second heroines were nearing their ends that he had arranged.
If he had to interfere with three heroines’ routes all at once, even Noah would get a headache.
Temporarily shutting down the magic array monitor watching Veronica, Noah adjusted his mood and decided to reappear in front of the nun.
Right now, Clothilde had just finished that bizarre battle, and was wandering around the red-light district, trying to find the so-called “succubus Hilda’s” companions.
“What, nun, are you looking for someone? How about putting on a bunny suit or something and going inside the shops to look? At least it’s better than wandering around the streets.”
Noah appeared behind Clothilde, without her noticing.
And using a relaxed voice, as if the little princess’s matter had never happened, he struck up a conversation with the nun.
“Mr. Noah!”
Usually, Clothilde would reflexively retort at Noah.
But right now, Clothilde had already acknowledged that she wanted to be loved by Noah.
So when she saw Noah reappear before her eyes, she was inevitably a little fl*stered.
Like a girl in love seeing her beloved.
“Huh? I’m here, what’s wrong? Making that silly face?”
Noah was also bewildered by that expression, so he reflexively mocked Clothilde’s current awful expression.
And Clothilde noticed that her feelings were a bit too obvious.
She hadn’t resigned from her duties as a nun yet, so how could she be so careless.
At least wait until she resigns as a nun before being so carefree.
With that thought, the nun pretended to clear her throat, put her hands together in front of her legs, reassumed the nun’s posture, and tried to calmly tell Noah what happened to her earlier.
At first, Noah was still a little bothered by that initial expression of Clothilde’s, but as Clothilde’s story became more and more fantastical,
Noah’s attention was completely drawn to the latter.
“…So you just handed over a senior who had turned into an incubus/succubus?”
“Huh? Is there something wrong, Mr. Noah?”
Looking at the nun in front of him, who hadn’t noticed anything amiss and still chose to believe in the ‘church,’ still chose to believe in the ‘sisters.’
Noah couldn’t help but laugh.
Fine, fine, just keep believing, you’ll get your faith shattered eventually.
