52 The Truth Within Memories (1/2)

”Kyah?!”

Rose falls on top of something soft.

Shaking her head while getting up, Rose realizes that there are two girls pinned under her.

”Ah, so sorry!”

”Rose-senpai, can you please get off?”

”Alexia-sama, kindly refrain from touching anywhere weird.”

Alexia and Natsume are glaring at each other even while pinned down under Rose.

When Rose gets up, the two immediately spring up and turn their backs against each other.

Rose feels slightly saddened at seeing the two of them not getting along.

”You two, fighting is not good...ah!”

Halfway through her words, Rose realizes all the gazes gathered on her.

This place is a dim, large space. Surrounding them are all the women in black. Among them are even Alpha, Epsilon, and the captured Nelson.

”Umm, we're...”

Understanding that there's no way out of this situation, Rose raises both hands as a start.

Then she forces a smile onto her face, trying to appeal to the enemy her lack of hostility.

Next to her, Natsume-sensei is pitifully trembling in fear. The moment Rose thinks to herself that she must do something, Alexia smoothly steps forward.

”Apologies, we stumbled and fell. The door happened to be right in front of us, there was nothing we could have done.”

Today Rose learns that persuasion is all about having a confident attitude.

Even if it is a bald-faced lie, by saying it with the confidence of a demon king, it becomes extremely troublesome to refute.

'Er, sure, let's go with that then' is the attitude with which everyone is looking at Alexia.

”Very well, you all may come along. But stay quiet, do not touch anything, and do not stray off. Perhaps this is something that you all should know about as well.”

So says Alpha after giving Alexia a glance. Then she immediately begins firing off instructions, after which the women in black scatter.

Alexia clinches a slight guts pose and murmurs ”Did it!”

Now the only ones left are Alpha, Nelson, Rose, Alexia, Natsume, and a as-yet unidentified woman in black who is not Epsilon.

”What are your intentions in doing all this?”

Nelson glares at Alpha while still restrained by the woman in black.

For some reason, everyone is sure that Alpha is smiling underneath her mask.

”It is said that long ago, the hero Olivie had cut off the demon Diabolos' right arm and sealed it on this land.”

”What about it? Did you come in search of the arm?”

Nelson scoffs.

”That sounds interesting too, but... that is not what we wish to know. We are here in search of information about the Order of Diabolos.”

Alexia reacts to the mention of the Order of Diabolos. Rose notices at the corner of her eyes Alexia's gaze turning grim.

”Whatever that means...”

”We know that you can't answer us. That's why we're here, in person. In search of the truth that had been buried within the darkness of history.”

Alpha turns around, and walks towards a large statue. The clacking of her heels reverberates in the spacious area.
