Hiiro returns next chapter
At 【Xaous】, in one of the roo each other, talking about the contents they heard lately inside the castle
Those stories they heard were about the attack on 【Beast Kingdom – Pasion】 and the takeover of 【Human Nation – Victorias】 by the Predecessor Demon Lord
Especially the ru the individual ithered the national syorn》 Both of theards to it
The first person was Minamoto Shuri, one of the four heroes summoned to this world, 【Edea】 She was a refined individual and was also known in her school as the Yamato Nadeshi+ko of their class
(TL Note: Yamato Nadeshi+ko is a woman who displays the feminine virtues of the medieval japan)
And her partner was also a the four heroes, Akairl who speaks in Kansai dialect whose character is just like a bundle of curiosity
”Do you think it's true?”
shi+nobu's usual expression couldn't be seen and was covered with a rather clouded one instead
When they attacked 【Xaous】, they realized their intentions were too naive as they directly experienced the true horrors of war
At that tiot separated with Taishi+ and Chika, but they surrendered the their own errors
They were resolved for the consequences of their deeds, but the Demon Lord Eveam did not take their lives And instead, she held them imprisoned inside her castle
That said, their imprisonuarantied food, clothing and shelter while being tasked to work under someone's supervision
”That Taishi+-chi wud do so cruel like t'is…”
The reason why their facial expression were rather dark was due to Taishi+'s relation to this matter Of course, they were both happy to be notified of his safety
However, when they heard that Taishi+ was the one who killed the national syorn》, their mood turned the other way around
Shublarz was the one who particularly informed the two of them about Taishi+'s deed, however the two couldn't accept that fact all together as they knew that Taishi+ would never do such a thing
So the tent to have a private discussion to uncover thelink of such rumors
”But when I asked about it if it was really Taichi-san…it seems to be him”
”Yeah, and based on the testi the two rebels who sneaked in, one was the hero”
”…yes”
Indeed, that was their best lead right now All four of them were heroes, but both of thenized by the people as the 'Hero'
”T'is very strange… and even if it's true, ud he do such a thing…”
”I don't understand it as well But, at that time, there was no mention of a woman Does that mean Chika-san wasn't on the enemies side?”
”Not sure But, they said that the companion of Taishi+-chi was a subordinate of the Predecessor Demon Lord…”
They heard that it was a beast human named Kokorou And that he was a direct subordinate of the Predecessor Demon Lord
”…I hope Chika-san is safe”
”…same here”
”But why is Taishi+-san…not with Chika-san together? Were they perhaps separated? But even if that's the case, ould they? I don't see any reason doing so”
As Shuri sadly spoke those words with a downcast expression, shi+nobu placed a hand on her chin as she brooded regarding that thought
”Reasons you ask?…… say Shuri-chi, have you heard about the character of the Predecessor Demon Lord?”
”Eh? Y-yes He's a very cruel and horrible person”
”Are you sure that Chika-chi and Taishi+-chi would never separate with each other?”
”Yes They wouldn't”
”What if…what if Taishi+-chi is in a very difficult predicaht now?”
”…what do you mean?”
shi+nobu raises a finger and matches her eyes with Shuri quietly
”What if Taishi+ is being ainst his will?”
As the thought settled in Shuri's mind, she opened her eyes wide in shock from the realization
”S-so you are saying that…Chika-san is being held as a hostage?”
”It's a possibility Taishi+-chi won't destroy other people's treasures without any reason”
”Y-you have a point…but,”
In face of that strange response, shi+nobu wondered and asked about it
”Wat's wrong?”
”I-it's nothing…”
”…?”
Shuri held an appearance as if she was hesitating speaking about it shi+nobu as inclining her neck in confusion, could only ask further
”Tellelse about this”
”…I understand While it o so far to do such a thing?”
shi+nobu received the impact of her words and was jaw-dropped as she held a stiffened expression
”……err, if you ask me, I think it can't be helped Shuri-chi Because one of e after all”
”Is that so?”
”W-what's with that response?”
”Then why didn't leave anything behind for us?”
”…eh?”
”Even if Chika is being held as a hostage or not, he should have left clues! He could at least left a paper written in Nihongo or e to find someone to help us cooperate with each other!”
Even shi+nobu as originally a talkative person, was overwhel
