10 Their circumstances: A certain Elf’s circuht…
“What’s thesis~”
Alice, oke up just now, staggered towardsher eyes
“I feel heavy~”
“That’s because you haven’t woken up fully from your sleep yet”
The real reason was her body suddenly growing ‘older’, but I didn’t have a reason to tell her that
“Nng~”
Alice’s eyes remained so narrow that I couldn’t readily tell whether she ake or not, but the girl still o to the bathrooed ainstthe day
Even her pink hair had grown in length, too – it used to go only slightly past her shoulders, but now it reached well below her waist
Anyone unprepared would’ve been greatly shocked by such a drastic change But I had already witnessed this transforether And I also heard about her background being the , so Alice’s transforer perturbed me
Other than…
“Squishy, squishy~”
I still got a nasty surprise at Alice’s gentle but still soeted my chest!
“Y-you need to use the bathroo Alice continue on could erous (?) for et to the bathroom But then…
“Nyah~”
“Mm? Misha, you also want to use the bathrooolden-furred cat sauntered over to us, then began cliure The creature only needed a blink of an eye to reach the top of Alice’s head
“Misha will go, too~”
Alice was still wobbling about whileher to the bathroom
“Co sis~”
I quietly waited in front of the bathroom door for Alice to finish her business
Initially, this job was about irl as per Sir Hero’s instructions But now, it hadher
Elves and dwarves had almost no contact with other races and as such, they didn’t care ed to which race
Actually, there were more of us who hated humans and not the demon race That’s hoeak our hatred towards the demon race was
But the y were the exact opposite They acted like the demon race was their irreconcilable eneroup All because the demons believed in a God that was hostile towards their chosen deities…
What a good thing it was that both Sir Hero and Hill belonged to the Order of Nature valuing peace above all else Is wouldn’t have ended so amicably like this
“Of course, I’m still not sure if other heroes would’ve been able to best that ure out the exact depths of Naruan’s strength, a man claied around a dragon while calling it a lovable pet?
Was he even a huin with?
And how do you even explain that silver girl’s attacks? The one claiirl’s attack was so horrifyingly strong that it defied all attempts to rationally explain it It even felt like your soul was about to abandon you during her attacks, too!
“Euh, euh…”
The an breaking out all over raved deep into an to slowly rear its ugly head above the pool ofabout it Stop thinking about it, stop, stop!”
I deliberately exhaled slowly, trying to stabilise radually cal the terror from back then to slowly ebb and eventually dissipate
“Fuu-hoo…”
It took thy exhale
“…Uh?”
Indeed It took quite a while
Meaning, it had been h time for Alice to finish her business and step outside the bathroohtly knocked on the bathroom door Alice could’ve fallen asleep in the bathrooh to not notice her transformed state
“Alice? Are you not finished yet?”
However, what could be the reason for this sudden bout of anxiety filling up ht?”
Whenon the door produced no response, I directly opened it and entered the bathroom Alice must’ve been so sleepy that she didn’t even bother to lock the door behind her
But what greetedthe door wasn’t the odour unique to all bathrooainst my skin
“The wall?! But who…?!”
The cold wintry winds were blowing through the large hole in the wall, cleaved open quite cleanly as if a treasure sword had gone through it
“Dammit…!”
I rushed towards the ely, I couldn’t spot any ures
“Did Alice…? No, she couldn’t have Alice still doesn’t have the necessary power to do this”
Alice did possess the dey unique to all demon races but she was a descendent of a Succubus, known to be below par in coth compared to her peers
Even if she was a pure-blood Succubus, it’d still be too e And even if she did have the strength, Alice still didn’t know that she was a descendent of a Succubus
Did thatinside the bathrooh ability to even fool my senses?
“I need to report this to Sir Hero… No, before that, where’s the dragon?!”
This sudden develop my head at once made it difficult to set ht to deal with the matters closest to me when stuck in a situation like this!
“I knew it…”
The one thing I could deal with first…
I rushed back inside the rooether with Alice But the only thing waiting for h the wide-open
“Dammit…!”
This was a planned escape
I didn’t think it’d happen for real, but just like Sir Hero had predicted, the escape really did happen!
“Sir Hero!”
I rushed to Sir Hero’s roo I felt onhis room was…
“But, how?!”
…The cold wintry winds Again
The winds were blowing through the open ith Sir Hero standing next to it, s words to me
“Selena, you’re finally here? Come on, let’s bounce already!”
11 Their circumstances: A certain hero’s circued bout of dileether
Why did he say he wasn’t interested in running away together with me?
Could it be that he had prepared a trap of some kind so of letting the I through all sorts of dileh conclusion
I was already done for regardless of what, anyway As such, I had to escape
And there was a very, veeeery, good chance of the instructor also escaping later today, too Since that’s the case, all I had to do was to secretly follow hiht!
The instructor was free to run away alone while abandoning me here But I was also free to follow after hi to that conclusion, I utilised every trick in the book to , then tonight would be the best time to do so
