I remembered that Etheus's shoes were very worn.
If Etheus's shoes are in this condition, then the shoes of other revolutionaries must be in the same position.
“This is like playing Tamagotchi.”
*Tamagotchi game: It is a digital game in the form of a virtual pet.*
It reminded me of the character building games I used to play when I was younger.
The difference is that in this game, I had to manage the army associated with the character to achieve a good ending.
I'm lucky to have the body of a rich villain, otherwise I would suffer like everyone else.
“Do you want to choose shoes for yourf, Hirose?”
When I said that, Hirose stopped and looked at me.
“No, you better choose me.”
Okay, maybe he's not the most accurate, but he's always running for me, so I can let him.
I pointed to a pair of black leather shoes displayed on the rack.
Hirose carefully reached out his hand and tried it on, finding that it fit his servant's uniform perfectly.
“Looks good, fits you perfectly.”
Instead of looking at his reflection in the mirror, Hirose looked at me and moved his lips.
“Thank you, miss.”
Hirose looked at me with deep eyes full of emotion.
“If this is what you chose for me, I would gladly wear even the shackles.”
"Help yourf."
However, there isn't much time left for days like this.
I'm leaving soon, after all.
Coldly, I crossed my arms and walked out of the store elegantly.
Suddenly, with a loud sound, a paper fell from somewhere into my hand.
[Statement condemning the empire]
“..this...”
Written in red letters, this was a declaration condemning the imperial family.
He accuses the imperial family of collecting excessive taxes for their own luxury, while the nobles, who benefit from their connection to the crown, live in glory.
He talks about the oppressed commoners and the nobles who speak the truth, and who are being persecuted.
The text concluded that if the situation continued like this, Oswell would have no future.
“Among the names of the condemned nobles, the name of Elmore is mentioned.”
I ran my eyes over the statement with a neutral expression, as I touched Elmore's name written in red.
I looked around and saw people in the streets gasping and nodding in agreement with the statement.
It was clear that public opinion against the Emperor was very bad.
I looked at my watch.
– Progress of the revolution: 88%

When I returned to the palace, there was an unexpected commotion.
The maids ran to me and told me what had just happened.
“Miss, there is a strange light coming from the greenhouse in the garden.”
“There's also a strange humming sound.”
“Anais is already there.”
I exchanged a look with Hirose and we quickly ran towards the Duke of Elmore's greenhouse.
There was a keriya plant, that twisted mass of tentacles.
Something must have happened to her.
A short time later, we arrived at the greenhouse, where Anais was standing holding a pipe.
Behind her, several Elmore soldiers were in a defensive position, monitoring the greenhouse.
collision —
The door shook violently as rainbow lights streamed through the transparent ceiling.
"Ms."
Anis, as soon as she saw me, ran towards me and greeted me.
“How long has this been happening?”
“It has not been long since you left the palace.”
When Anais said that, Hirose narrowed his eyes and took a few steps forward.
He stopped, then turned to look at me.
“Miss, I explained the Kiriya plant to you before, it takes inspiration from the hero and produces sacred energy.”
I nodded in amazement.
“This may be what is happening now.”
“What? So...”
I pointed my finger at Hirose.
“Are you saying she got sacred energy from you?”
I was about to joke, congratulating him for having a monster, when Hirose shook his head.
“No, it wasn't me.”
When he said that, I trembled a little.
After owning Katherine's body, there wasn't much that deviated from my expectations.
I was an enthusiastic reader of 「Revolution Star」, and had a good understanding of what was going to happen and the surrounding circumstances.
But sometimes, unexpected things like this happen.
“But those claws...weren't they attached to you?”
“I scratched your body too.”
“H-this...”
“More importantly, I don’t meet the conditions, this plant is yours.”
Hirose bowed slightly.
Any conditions? I was about to ask when Hirose stepped forward without hesitation, and forcefully opened the shaky door.
Inside, rainbow lights streamed in.
What in the name of the Creator of Hell is this? …
I closed my eyes slightly due to the brightness, and slowly walked towards Hirose.
Finally, I reached the greenhouse door.
As the rainbow lights began to dim, the inner view slowly began to become visible.
Strangely, the ugly claws of the Kiria plant were nowhere to be seen.
The huge greenhouse, once filled with claws, seemed empty.
Not long ago, I had confirmed that it was full of those hideous claws.
Instead. …
“Pew.”
Something pushed my feet.
I slowly lowered my gaze and saw a very small and cute creature, which made me shiver.
His skin was pink, like my pink hair, and his black eyes, like buttons, looked up at me.
I bent down in amazement and extended my hand, and the creature crawled with its tiny legs into my palm.
I slowly raised my hand, staring at the creature sitting on my hand.
“…Ob Rupa?”
It looked like a goofy, cute creature resembling an opa-roopa, but lacking a mane, and it tilted its head curiously.
“Pew?”
He made a gentle sound as he spoke.
“....me...”
I've never had a pet before. I could barely take care of myf, after all.
Until now, I wasn't interested in pets.
I was well aware that I would soon run away abroad, and I certainly didn't have the luxury of keeping a pet.
But the moment this little creature sat in my hand.
The moment he looked at me.
Pio?
He was so cute!
“You, you.”
All my previous confusion melted away.
“Very nice, damn.”
Even though I gritted my teeth, my eyes wouldn't stop twitching with affection.
Hirose, who was standing nearby, muttered softly.
“They say that sacred beings know their master, and the master accepts the sacred being, that's what the ancient texts say.”
Well, I can't deny that.
The moment I saw him, I felt some connection with him.
“How did this clawed creature end up creating such a cute holy monster?”
“Exactly, he wasn’t created. He absorbed the holy power from you and was reborn. He might even be able to use claws.”
When he said that, I trembled and shook my head.
Oh, I'll pretend I didn't hear that.
The idea of this cute creature shooting tentacles... It wasn't aesthetically pleasing.
“Pew.”
I gently patted Aub Roba, who tilted his head right and left, and then I called Anis.
“Bring me some water, I need to quench my thirst.”
“Yes, miss.”
“Let's call this creature a pet lizard, or something like that, for others.”
Rumors of Catherine Elmore possessing a sacred being wouldn't do her any good.
If the Emperor or the nobles became greedy, this could turn into an unpleasant variable.
“I'll call you Pio, Pio.”
Pio—
Sure, Pio didn't look like the huge dragon the hero carried in the illustrations, but he was nonetheless a sacred being born from absorbing my scent. I will take care of him.
“I will check ancient texts for information about sacred beings.”
Hirose's words made me nod.
Then, she handed the bowl of water that Anis had brought to Pio.
“Drink.”
Wasn't the op-ropa originally a creature that lived in water?
Pio, who was tilting his head, extended his long tongue and began drinking the water, like a lollipop.
“Pew, pew.”
Very pleasant.
At that moment, a vibration came from my watch, making a deep, humming sound.
