Minerva katsumi is your average shy yet sweet girl. Life at home is horrible for her so every night she wishes to escape her suffering, she wishes for her paradise.
She has the biggest crush on Iwatani Naofumi, her neighbor and family friend's son...
ITS BEEN A FEW days since the incident with Naofumi and Myne. It's also been a few days since I discovered that Naofumi was the shield hero who was accused of trying to assault the princess Myne.
He's been shamed everything I go now. At first I wanted to find him and tell him I believed in him but I held my ground and didn't. Mainly because I was still hurt about what happened. You can say my ego wouldn't let me look for him.
I sighed focusing on the creature in front of me. I grunt running towards it sliding my blade down its throat cutting it open.
A few seconds later its body becomes skin which I pick up and place it on my blade. I've been training and exploring my abilities. I found out that I could unlock stuff if I put the fragments I caught on my blade.
I was currently only on level 6, for some reason I couldn't level up anymore. For the past two days I haven't received any points.
Frowning I turn when I hear a voice. "Ow find out why I haven't been able to get any points! I don't see any of the other hero's around so why can't I get points?"
"Motoyasu I'm not su-" I glare when I see Myne along with other people come out of brushes.
"You!" We both snarl at the same time.
"Hey who's the beautiful lady. My name's Motoyasu, the sword hero. No biggie, I'm happy to give you an autograph." The blonde haired guy beside Myne smirked touching his face.
Giving him a blank face I turn to leave but he stops me. "H-hey wait!" Turning to face him I raise an eyebrow.
"Have you seen any hero's around? For some reason I can't get points and that only happens when there are other hero's around."
Is that what is happening to me? But I'm not a hero, it probably isn't what is wrong with me.
"Um no but look I got to go."
"Wait a second, why don't you join my party? We can work better together" Motoyasu ask with a small smirk. "Besides a beautiful lady like you shouldn't be alone. So many things can happen to an helpless innocent girl out here."
"Motoyasu no! She's a savage" Myne cried rubbing her body on his latching onto him.
Glaring at him and Myne I cross my arms. "I'm not helpless. In fact I've kicked your little girlfriend's ass before."
"W-what?" Motoyasu stuttered as Myne blushed.
"You did not kic-"
"Yes I did, remember that's what you told Naofumi."
"Naofumi?" Motoyasu questioned but I just turn my back to them. Walking off I hear Myne cries and complaints about me making me chuckle. Pathetic.
After traveling all night I reach Erhard's shop. I finally had enough money to buy the armor I wanted.
"Hey Minerva! It's a surprise to see you. Where's Naofumi? I thought he would be with you."
I weakly smile at Erhard looking for the wardcloset. "I'm here for armor."
"O-oh right." Digging through the closet I found the armor. "So..how've you been?"
"Well, not so good. I've been working day and night to raise money. It takes so much energy but I finally raised enough."
"Right. And Naofumi?" I instantly lose my smile.
"We're not talking to each other."
"Oh I see. Is it because of what happened with the princess?"
I turn to face him shaking my head. "I believe Naofumi. He would never take advantage of the princess. That's not why we're not talking though. It does involve that bitch though."
"Woah" Erhard chuckled as I pick up different jewelry to wear. "What happened?"
"She also framed me with Naofumi before his problem with the royals. The difference between me and him is that I actually believe him, he didn't believe me."
"I'm sorry to hear that, something about that girl gave me a bad vibe. Anyways found what you were looking for?"
With a big smile I rush over to Erhard. "I'm buying this."

"This is one one if my finest armor for females. Good choice. Although its also one of the most expensive"
I nod watching him study the armor. "Since I like you I'll give you a discount which leaves this for 540 silvers."
Taking out my coins I set it on the counter. "Keep the change. By the way do you happen to know a town near by that I can go to collect money?"
"Yes there is, its called Lute" He replied as I nod.
" Thank you so much Erhard! See you around."
"Alright kid take care." I laugh taking the armor and leaving the shop.
Once outside I start to walk towards to the forest. Heading to Lute did not take a long time. Spotting the gate I sigh in relief as my body needed rest.
Walking around the town I smile watching the people around me. My smile fell as my eyes fall upon Naofumi who was getting up from a sitting position. It looked like he was buying something from a person.
His eyes widen once he spots me. Gulping lightly I keep our eye contact feeling my heart raise.
"Minvera..."
"Master Naofumi who is she?" Our stare breaks as I shift my eyes to see a small girl tugging on Naofumi's coat.
Wanting for him to answer I cross my arms. "Let's go Raphtalia" Was all he replied grabbing the girl and walking away.
Scoffing I roll my eyes. "Real mature Naofumi! Real mature." Naofumi doesn't look back as he continues to walk.
It was stupid of me to believe that he would apologize and ask me to join him. It was stupid of me to even think that he even cared for me.
Turning the opposite way Naofumi was going I walk towards a hotel to sleep in for the rest of the night.
