Their world doesn't need gods.

Chapter 191: Gu! Kill me (Cheryl's unreasonable association) (3)

Cheryl couldn't help but frown and replied unhappily.

Alfred's frivolous attitude made her extremely annoyed.

"The Duke of Elekter has always been famous for its credit. After all, credit is the most important thing for a businessman."

Alfred picked up something on the table and said jokingly.

What he held was the pistol that Sheryl had used earlier.

"Okay, can you explain this thing to me first? Where did you get this weapon? As far as I know, there shouldn't be many craftsmen and alchemists in the empire who can make such a sophisticated weapon."

He took Cheryl's pistol in his hand and played with it casually, then pointed the gun at Cheryl's head and threatened.

"Or did you make this pistol yourself, Miss Sheryl? You are really handy."

"You, you know this weapon?"

Instead of being frightened by the threat, Cheryl was shocked that Alfred recognized the weapon.

As far as she knew, there were no decent firearms in the empire.

This was mainly because magic was too convenient, and the nobles of the empire were extremely fond of the inexplicable profession of puppeteer. As a result, although hot weapons such as matchlock guns were born, there was no development or progress at all.

Now that Alfred knows about this thing...

A bad guess emerged in Cheryl's mind.

"You, you are not a modern reincarnation, like Roderick..."

"That's right. So, Ms. Sheryl, which category are you?"

Alfred answered without hesitation and threw the question to Cheryl.

"Me, me too."

Cheryl avoided Alfred's gaze and answered with mixed feelings.

Alfred looked at the silver-haired girl beside him.

After getting the answer that Sheryl did not lie, he turned his attention back to Sheryl.

"It seems that Miss Sheryl, you have made your position clear. I am really happy. Then, let's move on to the next question."

(The way this guy talks is really infuriating!)

Cheryl cursed in her heart.

Alfred's way of speaking, which was full of sarcasm, made Cheryl think of her fiancé in her previous life.

When the other party is provoked by others, he also likes to use this kind of sarcastic way of speaking, and in turn mock the idiot who took the initiative to provoke, and every time he makes the other party so angry that his face turns blue.

Even though that man's sister, Sheryl, and the girl he adopted at the time had warned that fool many times that this way of speaking could easily lead to resentment, he still did not change his bad habits.

(Really? Why does Alfred remind me of that guy?)

Cheryl shook her head slightly, trying to clear her mind of distracting thoughts.

"Why do you want to protect Sister Rose? According to the information I got, your Annu Cult's original plan was to let Lucius hurt Sister Rose and then let me turn evil and become a villain leader, right?

But you disobeyed the order of the main god worshipped by the Annu Cult, not only killed those Annu Cult members, but also risked your life to protect Sister Rose and Lily. Why is that?"

As Sheryl's mind was filled with strange memories, Alfred asked a second question.

"I……"

Cheryl took a deep breath and made up her mind.

"My full name is Sheryl E. Lindbergh. If I say this, you should be able to understand, right?"

"...I see. You are Mr. Lucas's eldest daughter, right?"

Alfred was stunned for a moment, then moved closer to Cheryl and looked at her carefully.

Cheryl clearly felt that Alfred's previous hostility towards her had diminished a lot, and was replaced by a strong interest.

Although this still made Sheryl feel uncomfortable.

She didn't want to be targeted by a playboy like Alfred who was always surrounded by many beautiful girls, especially when he was tied up.

If Alfred really intended to do something rash, Cheryl wouldn't be able to even resist.

"Yes……"

Sheryl replied, turning her face away.

"I never thought you were safe and sound. I'm really glad to see you."

"Do you think it's appropriate to say that to someone lying on the ground, tied up?"

Cheryl asked back unhappily.

"It's really not appropriate. Do you need me to prepare tea and snacks for you?"

"You guy..."

"I already know why you want to protect Sister Rose, so next question. Why did you join the Annu Cult?"

"I……"

Cheryl looked at the silver-haired girl beside her and sighed helplessly. Now even if she lied, she would be exposed immediately, so she decided to tell the truth.

"The reason why I joined the Annu Cult was initially just to get their protection. After Aunt Vanessa passed away, I was alone and helpless, and at that time many nobles were secretly looking for the survivors of the Lindberg family."

Recalling the sad past, Sheryl couldn't help but frown.

"Then?"

Alfred, who was not considerate at all, urged Cheryl to continue as if he was listening to a story.

"Afterwards, the god worshipped by the Annu Cult, the main god you caught those guys talking about, contacted me through a small black stone statue. He said that he could help me take revenge on the Duke of Opold and the Empire, and rescue Rose from the Elect family, as long as I was willing to complete his plan for him."

Recalling what happened at that time, Cheryl pursed her lips. It was because she easily trusted that bastard Antonio that Cheryl almost made a big mistake, which made her feel very regretful.

"Plan? What does that mean?"

“I don’t know the details, but the world we reincarnated into might be a world in a game.

Antonio designed the plot of the game, but someone disrupted his plan.

There are other gods interfering in this world, and Antonio can't act openly, so he needs me to help him correct the development of things. This is what he explained to me at the beginning. "

"I see... But this goes against your purpose of protecting Rose, right? Or did the other party not tell you the original plot in the game at all?"

"Eh? What does this mean?"

Hearing Alfred say this, Cheryl suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

She urged Alfred to explain what he meant by those words.

"According to the information I have learned, according to the plot development of the game you mentioned, Sister Rose seems to be killed in the Easter event in more than half a month."
