I put my hand on the crystal ball in front of me.

At that moment, a tremendous white light danced wildly in the temple’s large hall.

“It’s Light magic! Light magic for the first time in 100 years…!” the priest of the 3rd temple in the royal capital screamed as he jumped up and down.

The commoners who were watching also cheered and raised their fists in celebration.

Hello, this is Makoto.

I’ve been put into a baker’s family who’re strangers to me, dressed up a little, and came to the temple for the Magic Attribute Appraisal Ceremony.

So, when I touched the crystal ball that was of a handful of appraisal magic tools on the stage, it glowed tremendously.

I couldn’t see this in the game, so it’s a fresh experience to me.

Also, in the game, I’ve only seen Cliff-onii-chan grown up and stand at the bakery counter, so Shota Cliff-onii-chan is also a fresh experience.

By the way, Cliff-onii-chan has the Fire attribute, so he uses his magic to conveniently ignite the bread oven.

All the inhabitants of this world have magical attributes, and those with strong magical powers are nobles.

Magic is convenient for adventures and wars.

There’s no way such a strong person wouldn’t become a privileged class.

However, even among commoners, those with strong magical powers will be picked up and promoted to the nobility.

There are 6 magical attributes: the 4 Major Attributes, Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth, as well as Light and Darkness.

Light very rarely appears.

Darkness appears once every 50 years, while Light only appears once every 100 years.

Due to the extremely high rarity of this attribute, it is guaranteed that you will be safe in the future and become a Saint of the Temple just by appearing.

Hence, it’s perfect for getting a job.

By the way, 100 years ago, the Holy Maria-sama was a farmer’s daughter, but she was very active in defeating the Demon King with the prince then.

She then later married said prince and became a queen.

The Light attribute is amazing.

“Makoto, you’re…”

“Goodness me, Makoto…”

“Don’t worry, we’ll always be with you.”

The whole family who came with me is teary-eyed.

I’m sorry, I’m a girl who happened to draw the Light attribute.

For the Makoto I am now, they are strangers, but for the Makoto who has lived until the age of 13, they are a beloved family.

By the way, right now, Old-Makoto’s memory and Me-Makoto’s memories are completely fused.

That Makoto who has lived in this world has exactly the same personality as Makoto Takase.

The actions in my memory are filled with things like, ah, if Makoto Takase was born in a bakery of a different world, she would do that.

So I can’t tell if I’m the 13-year-old Makoto or the 19-year-old Makoto.

Or rather, it could be said that the 3rd True Makoto is a mixture of the two.

In my memory, my kind father, my kind mother, my slightly cheeky older brother, everyone loved me.

As soon as I get the Light attribute, I’ll go to the temple, be surrounded by the kingdom’s nobles, and say goodbye to my parents’ bakery and my family as I knew them.

I’m sorry, I’m sorry.

While I felt so sad as if my heart was being torn apart, I muttered one phrase to my Otou-chan:

“Saint’s Bread.”

“What the…?!” Otou-chan cried, astonished.

“The bread that the future Great Saint showed you,” I said.

“What are you talking about?!” Oka-chan said, astonished.

“It’ll sell like crazy, you can remodel the store.”

“Otou-san, this stuff will sell…!” Cliff-onii-chan said.

“That’s right, it’s a business opportunity…!” Otou-chan said.

Yes, yes, my family is kind and loose and I love them very much.

We hurried home and made a prototype of the Saint’s Bread together.

Using my cheat knowledge from another world, I came up with the idea of covering bread with cookie dough and baking it and was successfully adopted as Saint’s Bread.

No, well, it’s just the melon bread from my previous life.

When the saint’s bread became very popular in town, a messenger from the royal family came and said Ou-sama had granted me a royal audience.

However, I have nothing to wear to the royal palace.

When my family was worried about these troubles, a luxurious black carriage pulled up in front of Hiyoko-Do, and an old man in a glittering white and gold priest’s robe came down from it.

He’s the Pope, Kyoukou-sama, the Sacred Heart of the Temple.

It seems that the Great Temple is near Hiyoko-Do, so he came to see my face.

When Otou-chan told Kyoukou-sama about my lack of formal clothes, he decided to have a saint’s dress made and paid for with the temple’s money.

Also, we received a large order of saint’s bread for the Great Temple.

That temple is willing to take me in and adopt me.

2 weeks later, the finished white and blue saint’s robes were finished, and I was going to go to the royal palace wearing that clean and neat uniform.

I’m riding a very well-painted white luxury carriage, and it feels like something you’d only see in a dream palace.

“Makoto-sama, you’re not afraid, are you? Please, feel proud,” the royal palace maid accompanying me says with a smile.

""

But, I can’t, my heart is pounding.

Because my roots are of a small-town citizen.

We pass through the luxurious royal gate, get off the luxurious carriage, and enter the royal palace through the luxurious entrance.

After walking through the gorgeous corridor and going up the gorgeous stairs, I found myself in a gorgeous audience room.

It’s luxury’s luxury.

In the audience room, there are all the glittering nobles who look at me and say things like, “How adorable.” and “You have the dignity of a future great saint.”

There is no dignity here, my heart is pounding.

Even in my previous life, I never met a noble or royalty.

I know that Saito-san, who was my classmate in junior high school, said that he was from Oda Nobunaga’s family lineage.

The handsome king on the throne in the audience room, Ou-sama, got on his knees and welcomed me with a big smile.

“You’re here, you’re here, Makoto-sama,” he said, “ah, what a cute saint you are.”

“She’s truly so cute.”

“Please pardon me, but I’m the daughter of a street baker, and I don’t know the courtesies, so I’m afraid I’m going to act rude,” I said.

“Relax, relax, you’re acting like a saint, aren’t you, very bright and lively?” Ou-sama said. “I’m sure you’ll be fine.”

“Thank you for your hospitality,” I said while I curtsied awkwardly.

The people gathered for the audience gave gentle smiles.

Except for one person.

Near Ou-sama, there was a greasy-looking oji-san who was looking at me hatefully.

…….

Umm, who is that guy?

He looks like a villain, but did this person appear in the game?

“It’s a great honor to have a saint in the Kingdom of Appleton. But…” he said.

“What’s the matter, for the Duke of Pottinger to seem so concerned?” Ou-sama asked.

Pottinger…

Hmm, I’ve heard that somewhere before.

Who is it?

“If you show the commoners too much kindness, they will take advantage of you,” Pottinger said. “You haven’t forgotten the rebellion two hundred years ago, have you?”

“Hmm, Bianca’s Rebellion, you mean…?” Ou-sama said.

According to former Makoto’s knowledge, Bianca-sama, the saint of 2 generations ago, seems to have done a lot of infamous things.

It is said that she was arrogant, had handsome men attend to her, spent all the temple’s money on luxuries and lounged there, and was beheaded in the end.

The difference with the previous Holy Maria-sama is astonishing.

Pottinger, Pottinger.

Aaah.

I see, I forgot because I have no use for the name with BL doujins, but it’s the family name of Light Sky’s villainess.

Vivian Pottinger-sama.

A person who appears in any route and harasses the main character as much as possible.

Well, if it’s a happy ending, she’s ruined without fail, or it’s going to be the death penalty for her.

“The commoners must be strictly disciplined,” Pottinger said. “What do you think of the prospect of the Pottinger Duchy taking her in and educating her?”

“Hmm, if it has your backing, Pottinger-kou, that would be excellent, yes,” Ou-sama said.

Eh, I don’t want to, if you go to the villainess’s house, I’m sure to go through so many terrible things.

And for some reason, ah, Pottinger-kou, your eyes are glowing in a disgusting light.

Those are the perverted eyes that appear in doujins aimed at men.

If I go to a place with such a person, I will be confined and trained as his personal Lolita. Just like the plot of an erotic doujin.

I raised my hand.

Ou-sama rolled his eyes. The queen, Joou-sama, is also rolling her eyes.

Pottinger-kou seems shocked I’m doing it.

Oh, is it a violation of manners?

Well, never mind that, I’m a commoner.

“I don’t like the idea of that,” I said.

“Ah, I, I see,” Ou-sama said, smiling wryly.

“Now, now, Makoto-sama, don’t talk to your superiors without permission,” Joou-sama said, doing the same.

“You shameless…!” Pottinger-kou hissed, furious. “You’re just a baker’s daughter! How dare you refuse me to my face…?! Yo-You will know your place..!!”

“Eh, ah,” Ou-sama said, “I wonder if raising your hand is asking for permission to speak, Makoto-sama?”

“Yes, it is…!” I said.

“We have no such custom, so remember that, Makoto-sama,” Ou-sama said.

“I’m sorry…!” I said. “I’ll remember that…! But, I’m too afraid of Koushaku-sama, I absolutely don’t want to be with him…!”

“You little…!!” Pottinger-kou yelled. “Shall I have your head cut off?!”

“Uwaah, I’m scared, I’m scared~,” I wailed, stiffening and deliberately pretending to cry.

Ou-sama and Joou-sama have shut their mouths shut and their shoulders are trembling.

It’s official hours in the royal audience chamber, you’re not allowed to laugh right now.

Ah, Kyoukou-sama approached me at a brisk pace.

“Pottinger-kou!” he said. “You dare to raise your voice against a saint candidate…?!”

“What are you saying, this is just a baker’s little brat…!!” Pottinger-kou yelled. “She’s not even qualified for sainthood! A saint should have come from the highest echelons of nobility!”

“You’re incorrigible!” Kyoukou-sama yelled. “My King, by all means, the saint should be educated in the temple!”

“A duke’s house is suitable! I’ll whip the discipline into this baker’s daughter…!” Pottinger-kou said.

Ou-sama looked at me with a troubled face.

“Do you have anything you wish to do?” he asked. “No, Makoto-sama, you don’t have to raise your hand.”

“Oh, I see~,” I said.

I wonder who the main character’s adoptive noble family was.

I don’t remember much because it’s not related to BL.

I mean, there are a lot of people who don’t like it when the main character or villainess appears in a BL doujin.

Even in the game, there are many episodes of the main character’s parents’ bakery and the apartment above it, but the barony that adopts her is only in the text boxes.

Ah, yes, the baron who adopted Makoto was a scholar.

“Ou-sama, I think it’s good if I go to a scholar’s house and I can study there,” I said.

“A scholar?” Ou-sama asked.

“Then how about House Kimball?” another man said.

Oh, it’s the handsome prime minister who interjected.

The main character’s default name is Makoto Kimball, so that’s a hit.

“Ooh, yes, he is a gentleman and a historian. Makoto-sama will also have a lot to gain from him,” Ou-sama said.

“We’ll arrange for them to meet at a later date.”

Alright, I’ve got a 3rd otou-chan.

But how many new otou-chans will I get in a short time?
