Villainess Is Changing Her Role To A BroCon-Chapter 279

One pillar, also in human form but opposite to the old mine god, took the form of a young girl. She looked like an elementary school girl, but in my previous life, I had never seen such a level of cuteness with the naked eye.

She was like an angel. An angel despite being a God. Her long, soft hair was the color of young grass, and she wore a crown of flowers woven from various kinds of flowers. Like the spring mountain itself, which was in full bloom, the princess goddess was lovely and fragrant.

The other was a gigantic wolf, even larger than Regina and her hounds.

Moreover, it was cloaked in flames.

Its mane and the tip of its tail were burning orange flames. Its golden eyes looked like molten gold, and flames were pouring out of its large mouth. Yet, I felt no heat, perhaps the god of the old mine was protecting me.

This Mountain God perhaps governed a volcano, more fearsome looking than a Magic Beast.

Amazing, fantastic, very fantasy-like!

The priest glanced at Ekaterina with concern, as if he thought she would be scared, but then noticed that she was rather excited and had a nonchalant expression on her face.

She reported to the three Gods about Alexei’s succession to the dukedom and apologized for his absence.

“My, I thought the boy was already the head of Yurinova. Since he was brought here by his predecessor when he was a small child, he has often come to see us and has done his duty well.”

Oh, the Old Mining God didn’t recognize my father, the one who accompanied Big Brother to Yurinova, must have been Grandfather.

Ok, let us not correct that assessment.

Ekaterina then read out the list of offerings to the Mountain God. As was customary, liquor, food, ornaments, etc. All were of the finest quality. The worship session went smoothly.

Ekaterina then asks the Gods about the Yurinova family’s administration of the estate.

The question was about afforestation.

Since it was directly related to the mountains and forests, there was no better way to make a statement to the gods.

“Planting trees, huh? Hohoho.”

The Old Mining God laughed softly.

“Compared to the trees, humans may have a short life, but they have become so generous as to restore the forests they have cut down, haven’t they?”

The flame-clad wolf-god spoke.

“Keep the forest, and the Magic Beast will inhabit it. Don’t the humans want to eradicate Magic Beast?”

It was a heavy bass, powerful voice. Golden eyes, like molten gold, fixed on Ekaterina.

Ekaterina bowed.

“Frankly speaking, Magic Beast were terrifying. Each and every human being is weak, and if they meet a Magic Beast, they would lose their lives without a chance to fight back. There are many who wish for it to cease to exist.”

The monocular bear and the giant bee. Both of them were beings that ordinary people without magical powers would not be able to contend with.

The old man, who could do nothing about the monocular bear that had entered his field but watch it devour his crops, would only be relieved if the Magic Beast became extinct.

Even in prehistoric Japan, people in areas where wild bears were seen often secretly wished they could make the bears extinct. It is natural to feel this way because if they are not careful, they will be killed.

The attempts to preserve the forests and ecosystems were, according to those who live under the threat of Magic Beasts, would be treated as the selfishness of those who live in safe places far away from them.

“But the great King of the North, Ancient Dragon-sama, seems to be displeased with humans cutting down the forest any further. If we incur his wrath, it will be the humans who will be eradicated. Therefore, we have decided to preserve the forest by attempting to plant trees and explore a way for humans and Magic Beast to live together.”
