Chapter 8
In the first place, if soldiers like Eos were defeated, the town’s citizens would have noit
The chimera is a monster that should be defeated before that happens
(That’s right, I’ that, all the more reason I can’t leave!)
It’s not like the people around her will immediately realize that she’s the immortal witch when she joins the battle
She’ll be satisfied as long as she’s able to beat it and go ho hYou don’t ht?”
That’s right, we’ll be even with this
It’s so that I don’t feel guilty, Astraea thought as she cah Eos had been at a lost for words for a moment, he immediately shook free froerousYou’re not a soldier, are you?”
“Are you able to use ht?”
“But–”
“What, do you want to say that I have no grounds for my confidence?”
“That’s… But the circuh I said I have the ability to deal with it? If so, say it”
If he has so he wants to say, he should just say itI’ll try and reject all of it
–When Astraea continued to glare at hih suddenly came froly losing this argument, Eosphorite”
“Captain!”
Eos’ voice raised in surprise, and Astraea turned around to look
Standing there was a tanned-ood-natured s ladyI’m SphaleEosphorite’s superior officer”
“…Nice to meet you”
Even if you telleavesdropping on people’s conversations?
Coreet anybody, but this is the inside of a fortressDespite being told that this is a space where ordinary people can enter, she’s still an outsiderAstraea changed her mind, and cast such monotone words at Sphale with the most minimum of courtesies
(The fact that Sir Captain here is Eos’ superior officer has nothing to do withelse she was more curious about instead of those finer details
“Your nanized as Eos was Eosphorite, there was no other way to react but in surprise
But for Astraea to say that, Sphale was also surprised
Advertiseive your na with on your days off?”
“Meet–!?”
What a way to phrase it! Isn’t that way of speaking just inviting hugeat a loss of words from too much shock, and in contrast to her, Eos was extremely calm
“No, she cut me off and I just couldn’t say it after”
“…”
When she recalled what happened then, she couldn’t exactly deny it… is what she feels
But it’s Eos’ fault for suddenly coht
Re this, her troubled heart calht, that shouldn’t be important
Eos e the fact that Eos is still Eos
“Well, young ladyI also understand where Eosphorite’s co fromEven if you’re a witch, you’re still an outsiderThere’s a lot of infor out”
“…That’s also true”
“That’s why–”
Which of those were faster: Those words, or Sphale’s actions?
Even though it ithin eyesight, Astraea ju doith little to no preparationA heavy sound resounded from where Astraea had just been
“I can’t really get along with anyone else except those I dee someone, isn’t it?”
“It’s still in its scabbard, the worst that could happen would be your bones getting broken, right?”
How rude, isn’t he and than a soldier?
Should I try countering once or twice? That thought flitted through her mind, but it wasn’t possible to act on itBecause Eos forced his way between them
“I just can’t overlook this, Captain”
“Oh ho, scaryHave I greatly offended you, Vice Captain Eosphorite?”
“…”
The words Vice Captain seems like it’s to establish that Eos too is a soldier with position
But maybe because Eos didn’t want to be told that, he had on an unusually distorted expressionOf course, Astraea doesn’t plan on changing her attitude towards hiardless if he hid it or not
“…Well, it’s not like I particularly wanted to teaainst it, so it’s fineI can also defeat it on my own”
She can’t confirm that it’s a chimera based on just rumors, but the current Astraea is confident that she can defeat it on her own if it was soht allow soh they’re not too used to it)
But she couldn’t say so used to it
Just like the fortress witch that got pulled out of the line of battle before getting used to it, there’s a high possibility that the number of victims will increase
(But if I battle it alone, they ht praise ate it this tiht appear once e would be the same as this time
She wanted to show the fortress soldiers awith a chimera in case that happens
(Well, if they don’t want , I can also operate on e)
Rather than later, she has to first settle the daht now
Do I even knohat the soldiers plan on doing? Thinking that, Astraea glared at Sphale
“Such a strong young ladyAs strong-willed as the witch in the fairy tales”
“…”
“In addition to that strong will, your reaction isn’t bad… I would like to ask you to cooperate with us for the subjugation, but how about it little lady?”
“Could you please be a bit ation request?”
Astraea pouted at that extre her
But with a buoyant mood, Sphale didn’t mind at all
