I Am The Villainess With A Maxed-Out Luck Stat - Chapter 131
Only Noblemtl
131. Hello! Nice to meet you, Bing-ui-ja.
“Oh, no. Our Bing-uija is my number one priority. I don’t want you to be in danger helping others.”
That’s why it appeared in the first place.
Because I don’t want to see the person who can’t see an inch ahead get hurt and broken.
It was for this very reason that he threw himself into the discipline and played the role of guardian angel.

A story before the Ice Bear existed as Roselia, before the world she belonged to was even created.
After going back through what seemed like eons of time, there was only chaos.
In the void that formed the beginning, there was a god who breathed life into it.
With one breath of his, life blossomed, and all things began under his desire.
The world conceived in his hands came to life, matured, perished, and was reborn.
Just as a speck of dust forms sand and grains of sand come together to form the earth, the world Roselia belongs to is also one of the countless worlds that make up all things.
It was extremely unusual for his gaze to suddenly fall upon a tiny thing that would disappear without a trace in the vast flow of time.
“This time, the person who got hit was also in a traffic accident.”
The world of intermediaries connecting worlds.
One of the youngest employees, exhausted from the repetitive tasks all day, spoke dryly.
“These days, the traffic accident rate among humans is serious. How many people have been hit by cars and become possessed this year?”
I should have just ignored the grumbling that it wasn’t like this back then.
He ended up listening to the complaints that were passing by without a second thought.
“But this time, the person who was possessed is a bit unusual. He tried to save a child who had fallen on a crosswalk, but got hit by a car instead.”
“And on top of that, he was an orphan and died young… … .”
At the end of the document was an earnest message: ‘Please be lenient with the deceased who was born with an unfortunate fate but ended his life with good deeds.’
“Ah. This kind of factory-made, unfortunate narrative is just disgusting.”
She muttered annoyedly as she looked over the documents.
She habitually glanced around as she was about to pick up the next document.
“… … But in this case, shouldn’t we give ice a special privilege?”
“Hey, where is there a person who doesn’t have a story? It wouldn’t be fair to look at each and every one of those things.”
“Originally, the privilege of ice was given only in very special cases, when someone had contributed to humanity as a whole or had made historically significant achievements. It shouldn’t be abused carelessly.”
Her suggestion was immediately met with dissuasion from other employees.
But she persisted and refused to answer.
“But you saved a life. And you sacrificed your own body for it. Aren’t small acts of kindness still acts of kindness?”
Is it because he himself was once a possessed person? Or is it because he feels sorry for his young death?
There was a brief exchange of words as she did not back down easily.
In the end, the decision was made to increase the difficulty of possession instead of granting powers to good possessors.
“Then why are you giving special treatment? – Oh, I see. It can’t be helped.”
Although the aftertaste was unpleasant, she forced herself to turn her gaze to the next document.
He, who had been watching the small commotion, was also thinking of slowly losing interest.
[You idiot. Are you in your right mind, talking nonsense at a banquet!]
[Ouch! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Auntie!]
However, perhaps because the difficulty level was too high, the good possessed person was abused and died in vain.
【SYSTEM: Starting the 3rd life.】
[Roselia Serteia is granted the talent ‘Strength’.]
【TIP! Use ‘Force’ to achieve a happy ending♥】
This time, I have the strength to protect myself, so I’ll survive.
He tried to leave with relief.
[I heard you’re learning swordsmanship these days? Why, because people around you keep praising you, you feel like you’ve achieved something?]
[… … .]
[What can you do? You can just stay in this corner of the house and live quietly. Why are you coming out?]
[evil!]
[Die! You X who doesn’t even know your place and runs wild should die!]
[Please stop, Aunt!]
If only I hadn’t seen her, who had been fighting against violence, fall into the abyss instead.
So the fourth life.
【SYSTEM: Starting the 4th life.】
[Roselia Serteia is granted the ‘Escape’ talent.]
【TIP! Use ‘Escape’ to get a happy ending♥】
This time, please escape from the tragic fate and live happily.
however.
[It’s terrorism!]
[The mob is illegally occupying the south and advancing on the capital!]
Just before she boarded the ship of exile, chaos erupted in the area.
It was a total mess, but fortunately, it was soon her turn to board.
If you just get on a boat, you’ll be able to escape easily.
[Miss, aren’t you going to ride?]
[Please burn this side first!]
But she ended up giving up her turn to a pregnant woman carrying a young child.
“… … Are you weak towards children?”
He watched the icebreaker, muttering absentmindedly.
[Hey, I’m in a hurry so I’m going to die, if you’re not going to ride then don’t be a bother and get out of the way!]
Next it was her turn to board the ship, but another passenger who was anxiously waiting for her turn pushed her. She fell and was crushed to death by the crowd.
And so on, the next life.
[I am not afraid of death as long as I can be with you, Princess.]
[It won’t be painful for long. If we can be together like this… ]
[Let’s be together forever, even in the afterlife.]
[―Kwaaang!]
“… … .”
He frowned as he watched the possessed man meet another desperate death.
No matter how much the difficulty is adjusted, how can things get this complicated?
[I don’t want to do anything anymore.]
Eventually, she lost all motivation and even gave up on life.
He looked at the weak human being with pity.
If it were me, I wouldn’t do that.
If I had been there… … .
“… … .”
But he was an undefined being.
An undefined being could not arbitrarily interfere with the world.
Just as liquid takes shape according to the shape of its container, he too had to acquire a body and a role to enter the world.
That’s why he chose to become a manager himself.
“Hello. My name is Ian. I have to do a handover, but I don’t know what to call you.”
Ian, the youngest employee in the Ice House Management Department, hesitated.
Inwardly, he was lamenting, wondering what sin he had committed to deserve being worshipped by the primordial god.
If I have a sin, it is only because I took the side of a certain person.
The manager smiled at her.
“I don’t have a separate name. Feel free to call me whatever you want.”
“Yes? Even so, if you could tell me what to call you… … .”
“What does that matter? Just say ‘hey’ or ‘you.’”
“How could I dare to speak ill of the primordial god unless I am mad?”
Ian was taken aback, but as expected, the skilled icebreaker had great adaptability.
“Hey! You caused another accident, didn’t you? Don’t you know that the whole department is in chaos right now?”
“You’re a newbie, so how can you choose your own occupant?”
“Besides, that person was assigned a different manager. Does it make sense to change the person in charge overnight?”
Before long, Ian was the only one who spoke informally to the manager.
Compared to those who discriminated against me, the manager was much more friendly. It almost gave me the illusion of having a comfortable motive.
“Yeah. Then that won’t work?”
“……what?”
“I found that the previous manager intentionally interfered with the icebreaker. Isn’t this also a violation of the duty of neutrality? That’s why I told him to cut it.”
“No, that’s because the difficulty level is set high for that person, so of course―”
“Yeah, that one. The difficulty level is too high, so from now on I’m going to manage it myself.”
“… … .”
Although, I felt an inevitable sense of distance whenever the manager exercised his absurd power.
【Admin: ⸜(*ˊᗜˋ*)⸝】
【Admin: Hello, Iceman!】
【Admin: I am the new Petite Cutie Admin!】
【Administrator: I came to see your life in the iceberg… … no, to help you.】
The manager was pleased that I had a new name.
I was happy to have reached someone who had only been watching, so I decided to stay in this world a little longer.
