Here’s the translation:

Me, Murmur, saving Monica in an event.
A story where the hero saves the Saintess, who had given up on an unchangeable future.
Since it’s a story I personally love, I prepared hard, and the event went as expected, so I felt a bit proud.
“Monica, are you okay?”
“Yes! I’m fine…!”
Monica smiled briefly, but her eyes were shaking uneasily.
Well, we haven’t defeated the terrifying monster in front of us yet, and the nuns are badly injured, so it’s natural to be worried.
“Murmur has a question for Monica.”
I said while preparing a summoning spell.
“We have two choices. The first is to abandon the nuns who didn’t believe in Monica and run away.”
This choice might feel satisfying.
After all, if they had believed even a little in Monica’s prophecy, they wouldn’t have gotten hurt.
“The second is to go back with everyone. Without anyone getting hurt!”
“I…! I want to go back! With Sister Anna! With Sister Irene! With everyone!”
The love the nuns showed Monica, even as they bled and suffered, was flawed.
They only gave her certain foods because they were afraid she’d become impure.
They only gave her certain drinks because they were afraid she’d become unhappy.
They laughed off her prophecies, fearing she’d be labeled a heretic.
Monica knows. There was no malice in their actions.
Ironically, these women were taught that this was the best way to show love.
The Saintess of the Holy Nation, noble as she is, embraced even this flawed love with open arms.
“Murmur will definitely grant that wish!”
I couldn’t help but smile.
“Mu, Murmur-sama! It’s great to hear you speak so confidently, but isn’t the situation a bit too tough?”
Citrine, who had suffered with me in the box, spoke with a worried expression.
The enemies were several goblins, three orcs, and one cyclops.
Since I, Murmur, am the only one who can fight properly, such worries are understandable.
“It’s okay. Murmur doesn’t plan to let anyone get hurt here today.”
Citrine thought for a moment, then nodded.
“If it’s Murmur-sama’s plan, I believe it will definitely succeed.”
“Ru, run… Demon, take the Saintess and run.”
As soon as Citrine finished speaking, Paladin Irene spoke.
Her right arm was cleanly severed, but her eyes weren’t dark.
“This… isn’t just an ordinary monster. You, students of the Academy, cough, can’t do anything about it.”
“Irene! I don’t want to run away!”
“Saintess Monica… you saw this future, didn’t you?”
Monica nodded with difficulty.
“I’m sorry… I warned you so many times, but I was foolish…”
“You can talk about that after we go back together.”
“…We can’t win. I’ll buy time, even if it’s just me.”
Irene looked at me.
“…If you can summon a winged spirit, you can escape with the Saintess.”
That’s actually an option.
But Monica wants to save everyone.
“Murmur will save everyone here today. That’s Monica’s wish.”
“It’s impossible… to say…”
—Thud!
Before Irene could finish, the cyclops approached, drooling from its mouth.
“■Got you. Kuhaha, I’ll kill you.”
“Run! Run! I said run!”
Irene grabbed my shoulder with her blood-stained hand and shook me.
“Don’t make the same foolish choice as us!”
At her desperate cry, the cyclops swung its massive cleaver down at us.
“Gabriel! Help Murmur!”
I combined two magic circles I had prepared into one.
【Gabriel’s Jealousy】
A precious ‘trait’ I gained while thwarting Lady Jepar’s schemes.
This trait means I, Murmur, have the right to summon Gabriel using Black Magic and demon summoning.
—Gulp!
“You… you summoned a demon?”
“Th, the gatekeeper demon Gabriel? You can summon him?”
The voices of Anna and Irene were panicked, but this is the right answer.
A giant ‘slime’ with a shiny crown on its head and black wings on its back emerged from the magic circle.
The summoned ‘Gabriel’ instantly swallowed us with its soft, massive body.
—Squelch! Squish!
At the same time, it blocked the cyclops’s cleaver with its squishy body.
“Kuhaha… huh?!”
The cleaver bounced off, and the cyclops looked at us in confusion.
Of course. ‘Gabriel’ is immune to physical attacks.
Its incredibly soft body can’t be destroyed without magic!
“I, I can breathe…”
“Wh, what on earth is happening…”
Irene and Anna were panicking, touching their noses and mouths.
It’s not just a slime, it’s a ‘Queen Slime,’ so it’s a bit special.
“Citrine! Monica! Heal the injured nuns!”
“Ugh, it’s come to this after all.”
Citrine sighed deeply but pulled out potions and magic tools from her bag.
“Sister Anna!”
“Huh? Yes! Ah, okay… Oh! Thank you?”
I even had the wind spirit, Zephyra, quickly retrieve Irene’s ‘right arm,’ which was lying on the ground far away.
While Anna held the arm, Monica knelt and clasped her hands to use ‘Healing Magic.’
“Monica… Saintess… how can you already use Healing Magic…?”
“Murmur-sama taught me.”
I didn’t teach her how to reattach arms, though.
Monica really is a child with incredible divine power.
“Cough… haa, I thought I was going to die…”
“Th, thank you. You even wiped the blood for me.”
“Are… are we inside a slime right now?”
The nuns, who were bleeding and dying, quickly regained their strength.
“Mo… Monica, Saintess.”
“We, we were wrong. We ignored your words…”
“You saw this future, didn’t you? That’s why you…! Waaah…!”
Don’t cry again!
The nuns, staggering to their feet, hugged Monica and sobbed.
“You’re all really stupid fools…”
Citrine sighed as she watched the scene, then pulled out a ‘silver sword’ from her bag.
That ladder before, and now this… does that bag have everything?
“Paladin Irene. This sword was prepared by Murmur-sama.”
“…What did you say?”
“She knew your sword would break and prepared this. You can’t fight those monsters bare-handed, right?”
Paladin Irene took the silver sword with both hands, looking at me in surprise.
“Murmur can’t defeat the cyclops alone.”
“…You really planned to save all of us from the start.”
“Murmur just wants Monica to stop crying.”
We’ll go back together.
Thanks to this miracle, Monica gains a precious ‘home.’
The lonely Tower of Capella becomes a place filled with happiness and joy.
Many adults still don’t believe Monica’s words, but sisters who would risk their lives to believe her prophecies finally appear.
…I couldn’t just leave.
From the start, I planned to go back with everyone.
“Are, are we fighting?”
“Paladin Irene! Can’t we just stay here?”
“If we’re inside this squishy slime, we won’t get hurt, right?”
The sisters hugging Monica trembled and shouted.
“…What do you think?”
Irene looked at me and spoke.
“Murmur thinks being trapped in the tower means I can’t do anything.”
As I spoke, I walked out of Gabriel.
“Kieeeek!”
Two goblins rushed at me, but I easily repelled them with a fireball.
“…Sisters!”
Irene, who had been watching me, stepped out and shouted.
The silver sword she held began to glow with holy flames.
“The Saintess is with us! What is there to fear!”
Irene smiled and looked down at me.
“…And we have such a brave hero here too.”
Finally, the nuns hugging Monica began to move one by one.
They were strong to begin with, so orcs and goblins weren’t a concern anymore…
“Murmur has a request! Sister Anna! Protect Monica!”
But just in case.
I shot fireballs at the goblins sneaking up and continued.
“Sister Annette and Sister Susanna, block the goblins!”
The two weaker ones could handle the goblins from a distance using divine power.
“Sister Leah and Sister Sophia, block the orcs! They’re weak to light! Use holy flames to blind them!”
I even gave tips on fighting orcs, so no one should get hurt while I handle the cyclops.
“Uh, uh…?”
“How… how do you know our names?”
“…Do they teach elementary students how to fight orcs these days?”
“The, the judgment itself is perfect?”
The monsters didn’t wait for us forever.
The moment the cyclops drooled from its mouth, the goblins and orcs charged at us fiercely.
“Paladin Irene! Murmur has a request!”
“My opponent is that guy, right?”
“Yes! Please be my stepping stone!”
It might sound absurd, but Paladin Irene immediately understood.
“Saintess!”
Irene shouted, and Monica closed her eyes tightly, clasping her hands.
Monica, who usually gives ‘blessings.’
“■Got you. Kuhaha, ■here.”
Divine power burst from Monica’s body and instantly seeped into Irene.
A pure white aura began to radiate fiercely, and the flames from her silver sword grew more intense.
—Whoosh!
The cyclops swung its cleaver again.
“Guh…!”
—Clang!
With a heavy metallic sound, Paladin Irene blocked the cleaver with both hands on her silver sword.
It’s different from before. The sword didn’t break, and Monica’s blessing gave Irene the strength to fight the monster.
“Hero…! I can’t hold on for long!”
“Five seconds is enough!”
I stepped on Irene’s bent back with both hands and jumped.
Using the wings created by the wind spirit, Zephyra, I flew up.
“What’s that kid doing now?”
“Sh, she’s flying?!”
Everyone’s eyes were on me at that moment.
I, Murmur, threw the firecrackers Citrine had prepared into the cyclops’s eyes.
“Fire spirit! Child of the hearth! Emberon!! Explode beautifully!”
At the same time, I summoned Emberon, who emitted blue heat, and kicked it.
“■Got you. Kuhaha…”
—Boom… Kaboom!!!!!
With an earth-shaking roar, Emberon exploded.
Of course, firecrackers are essentially gunpowder!
If you gather enough, you can use them as a bomb.
—Thud!
“Oh my god!”
“G, God! A miracle for us…?!”
The cyclops fell backward, black smoke pouring from its face.
“…Don’t show any openings!”
“Stupid orcs!”
Leah and Sophia didn’t miss the chance and defeated the orcs.
By this point, the goblins hiding in the shadows screamed and fled.
“Haa, haa… Saintess! Are you okay?!”
Irene looked around and immediately ran to Monica.
“Gabriel can go back now.”
“Murmur-sama!”
Citrine, who had been clinging to Monica, quickly approached me and started checking my shoulders, arms, and hands.
“Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Yeah, Murmur’s fine. I said no one would get hurt today.”
“Th, that was an insane plan!”
Citrine looked at the cyclops lying on the ground.
“To think you’d fight such a terrifying monster like this…”
“But Murmur thinks it was worth it.”
I pointed at Monica, surrounded by the nuns.
Monica seemed to want to come to me.
“Saintess! Saintess!”
“We, we were fools! Please forgive us!”
“If, if we had listened to you, we wouldn’t have been in such danger!”
“Waaah…! Next time, I’ll give you your favorite chicken!”
Sister Anna watched the scene with a proud expression.
“Sister Anna.”
“Ah, yes! Paladin Irene?”
“…I was foolish. If you’ll accept my apology, I’ll do anything.”
Irene knelt and apologized to Anna.
Seeing this, the nuns also realized something and quickly knelt before Monica.
“Ah, um…”
“You don’t have to go this far…”
Monica and Anna waved their hands awkwardly.
“No… we were truly careless and foolish.”
“Saintess Monica has been seeing the future for a long time…”
“We ignored her. This isn’t the first time we’ve been helped.”
“We said it was impossible… we ignored the Saintess.”
“We deserve divine punishment!”
Monica swallowed hard and looked at me.
She even quickly approached me, took my hand, and brought me in front of everyone.
Citrine seemed to have something to say but smiled and nodded vigorously.
“I only saw the future. It was the hero here who changed the sad future I saw.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to me, Murmur.
I knew it would come to this, but it’s incredibly embarrassing.
“I want the hero to decide.”
“Murmur said it. We’ll go back together today.”
I gently held Monica’s hand.
“That’s Monica’s wish, so I’ll grant it. So let’s go back together and…”
Monica’s golden eyes sparkled as if she had seen the future in that short moment.
“Accept Paladin Irene’s apology and let’s eat something delicious!”
“…Huh?”
“Murmur thinks! Monica still has so many foods she wants to try!”
Monica nodded.
“Today, I want to try spaghetti! I heard spaghetti with lots of tomatoes is very delicious!”
“Ju, just… you’ll forgive us for that? Even if you call us heretics, we…”
Monica glanced at Anna, who was smiling warmly, then approached the flustered Paladin Irene.
“That’s enough for me. If you all listen to me from now on, that alone makes me very, very happy?”
“Ah… how could we have treated such a noble person…”
Paladin Irene sighed and pressed her head to the ground.
“Thank you. I will carry this grace in my heart for the rest of my life.”

“Se, Saintess! You don’t have to do the dishes!”
“Waaah!! Eating spaghetti and doing dishes are different!”
“Mo, Monica! You can’t wash that dish like that!!!”
The carriage was broken, but we managed to return to Capella by summoning spirits.
As soon as we returned, we kept our promise and enjoyed delicious tomato spaghetti.
“Tomorrow, I’ll make something even more delicious!”
“You know what? Saintess!! Sister Irene actually loves meat…”
“Sophia! Quiet!”
“I want to eat the meat Irene grills too!”
The once quiet and solemn Tower of Capella became incredibly lively.
“Murmur-sama, thank you so much today.”
Anna smiled and spoke to me.
“Murmur thinks it was just the right thing to do.”
“I really didn’t think no one would get hurt.”
Anna patted my head.
“But Murmur-sama… may I ask a favor?”
Ah, that’s it.
“Sure, Murmur will help.”
“…If it’s you, I think you can prepare a surprise for the Saintess.”
“I think Lake Hedone would be nice.”
At my words, Anna’s eyes sparkled, and she nodded.
The super soft event you can see if you save Monica during summer vacation.
I can’t miss that!
