”Acrylic, pull the spear”

”... ugh!

When I told Acrylic that, my hand shaking the acrylic spear shook a little. With the spear tip braced, the woman briefly raised a scream that had drawn her.

Blonde hair dirty with mud, clothing looks superior if you look good. Appearance is in the mid twenties. And the eyes moistened with tears - crimson. It was a familiar color for me.

”Are you a vampire…?

When I asked, did the woman cramp her throat or just tremble and she didn't respond to anything. That gaze is directed at the spear the acrylic is poking at.

You can't listen like this even if you want to listen to me. I have no choice but to exhale.

”Acrylic, I'll say it again. Pull the spear.”

”... chip”

When I strongly said it, the acrylic pulled the spear even as I tongued it. But those eyes still stare at the woman with hateful caged eyes. You found out the acrylic pulled the spear, and at the same time the woman suddenly moved out.

I got fit, but I didn't feel harmful there. The woman followed me in a desperate manner. Its body is trembling to the point of abnormality.

”Nevertheless... in the meantime, it is curled, curled... no... no...”

I wander my gaze, bewildered by the woman who follows me. Somehow I'd like to calm her down and talk to her, but this is deep in the woods. Stampede hasn't stopped yet.

Doing so, Al approached me to see if I had finished my surrounding enemies.

”Uphilia. There is no sign of Chimera around here, and around the villagers' shelter.... for once, I'm going back to the shelter, what do we do?

”... right. I can't loosen my guard, but I think we should listen to her.”

”Right.... Hey.”

Al grabbed the shoulder of the woman that was wrapped around my arm and gazed at himself. Al's crimson eyes wobbled suspiciously, and the woman seemed to be gazing at Al as she ate in.

Probably using vampire mental interference, but does it work between vampires...?

”You know what I'm saying? Evacuate to a safe place now. If you turn it against me, I'll dump it here. All right?”

”... is, yes...”

The woman snorts over and over again, but Al's expression is sinister. Perhaps it wasn't the result you wanted.

Then Al turned his gaze to me and shook his head sideways small. Still no good mental interference between vampires......?

”I'll hold it. Acrylic, can you ask for the front?

”... Al holds that guy?

”It's a matter of efficiency.... please”

”... Huh”

When Al said that to Acrylic pale, Acrylic clearly seemed to be in a bad mood and out of sight.

”... you should be in a good mood later.”

”... Shut up”

”Dear Algard! Acrylic! Was Her Majesty Queen Uphilia safe too!

When we went to the villagers' shelter, there the knights were in a hurry to prepare for defense and evacuate the villagers.

A knight who would have stood on the lookout broke his face to delight in our safety. But I got a surprised look when I realized Al had a strange woman.

”You worried about me. The stampede hasn't subsided yet, but the momentum should drop. Few demons would come straight this way, too, would they?

”Yeah, sounds like you scattered it all over the place.... Do you have a demon stone after all?

”No, it's more troublesome than that. How much evacuation is done for the villagers?

”The escort of Her Majesty Queen Uphilia is also helping, so I think the evacuation will be complete in three more minutes. Our retreat will follow…”

”Right...... ok. I share information with Darren and take his place. Acrylic, I'm sorry, but I need Uphilia. And rest your body.”

He was Al talking to share information with the knight, but he speaks to Acrylic before he leaves here. But they're in a bad mood. Acrylic didn't reply.

Al, sighed when he saw such acrylics, deposits a woman with me. Then I stop by the acrylic and stroke her head.

”Forgive me. I'll ask you one later Wagamama”

tingling, and acrylic ears and tails stood pinned. Then Acrylic turned his gaze half-eyed and whined low.

”... anything?

”... to the best of my ability.”

”Fine, then. I forgive you. Look, you need to talk to Darren, right? Go on.”

Apparently Acrylic's mood has returned to the point where I think it was a lie to ignore him. Besides, Al sighed a little hoarse, then rushed to me with a gracious glance only.

Perhaps you wanted to say that you asked for acrylic.... Well.

”Where is Raini?

”If I were Miss Raini, I'd be assisting with evacuation induction.... She's amazing, she calmed down people who are going to panic in this situation and helped them evacuate smoothly. I'm a boulder, Her Majesty's dedicated maid. You have a liver sitting around. This is the situation, but I'm glad she's here.”

The second half whispered, and the knight told me so. As far as it goes, he probably knows what's going on.

If you told the villagers about the outbreak of stampede, and thereby the need for evacuation, you would have had no choice but to be confused by fear. But Raini was here for me.
