84 – Night at Belgrove (5)

“Hmm- are those your friends?”

Looking at Hans, Elaine, and Hilda running from a distance, Goetia murmured.

Among them, Goetia’s eyes were on Elaine.

‘… I’m sure he didn’t notice.’

It will be difficult if it is already revealed that Elaine is a saint.

From the point of view of her demons, the existence of her saint was like a natural enemy, so if Elaine’s identity was revealed, her demons would almost certainly try to kill her.

Even one person was too much, but if there were two or three Mines, no matter how much she borrowed Ishtar’s power, there was no guarantee that she would be able to protect Elaine.

If she dies, half of the human power will be lost from the demons’ invasion after her.

The healer position in the main character’s party will also be vacant, so it is questionable whether the main character will be able to grow like the original.

At least until the next practice, the fact that Elaine is a saint should not be revealed.

“Isn’t it time to go back? It looks like her friend, that Biff, is also waiting.”

“….”

“Goetia?”

She tried to get Goetia’s gaze back by talking to her, but she just stared at Elaine.

‘f*ck, did you get caught?’

“Altein, how is the princess?”

“No problem. I was just chained.”

“Are you okay, Count?”

“It’s okay, so stick behind me.”

If, by any chance, Gettya turned her eyes away and attacked her, she needed to be prepared to retaliate.

I slightly lifted the black sword that I had been leading, and prepared it so that I could unleash it at any time.

Then I pulled Elaine, who was next to me, behind me and hid her from Goetia’s gaze.

Then, naturally, Hans and I were protecting Elaine and Raina.

“Hilda! You too, come here.”

With Reina unable to move, Hilda is the only wizard in our party.

Elaine is also Elaine, but she is also Hilda.

No, I was going to call.

‘What….’

I tried to call Hilda while watching Goetia’s notice, but I couldn’t help but laugh.

It was because Goetia’s eyes were on Hilda, not Elaine.

‘Wasn’t he looking at Elaine?’

Of course I thought he would be looking at Elaine, but out of the blue he was looking at Hilda.

It wasn’t just that she looked at her because she was at the very back. Hans From the time you arrived, Getia never moved her gaze anywhere else.

‘Why?’

What the hell was he staring at Hilda for?

This question remained unanswered until Hilda came to her side.

When Hilda came to her side and naturally met Goetia’s gaze, the guy who saw him had a surprised expression on his face.

Are you surprised to see Hilda and not Elaine?

“The bondage magic circle… It has a different structure than the widely known ones… Whoops.”

“Can you unlock it?”

“Whoops… If only I had time.”

“Altein and I will take our time. Hey Altane.”

“Ah- that’s it. Because I am going now.”

“What?”

“He has no intention of fighting us. Now.”

I stopped Hans from pulling out his sword.

Getia gave a small yawn, looked around her for a moment, then snapped her fingers.

Then, a large magic circle formed under him and at the same time, she began to swallow him from below.

It was a transfer.

Getia waved her hand in our direction and said hello.

“See you next time! I’m here for something else today, but I hope to see you later on something else!”

After a while, the magic circle went all the way up and turned on, and at the same time, Goetia disappeared.

“Transition… It’s a magic that is said to have been lost….”

“Whoops, it seems that these words are only limited to humans.”

“Is Rayna hurt anywhere?”

“… Are you okay. I’m just surprised It seems that the binding magic has also been broken.”

At the same time as Goetia disappeared, the magic circles that bound Reina also disappeared at once.

Reina, who was finally free, stood up and dusted off her clothes.

Reina tried to free it from start to finish, but in the end she couldn’t.

She was slightly biting her lower lip, as if resentful.

I went over to her and patted her on the shoulder.

“It is difficult for a person who is still only a student to handle the power of demons. It’s only natural that I couldn’t break the magic.”

“… I know. She just hated herself for not doing anything.”

“He was different from Mephisto. I didn’t have the courage to jump in either.”

“That much?”

“Elaine, didn’t you feel it too?”

Elaine nodded her head in agreement.

‘… And.’

I approached Hilda, who was staring at the place where Goetia had left.

Hilda’s blurry gaze turned to me as I came to her side.

“Hilda. Do you know Goetia by any chance?”

“… What are you talking about?”

“A while ago, Goetia kept looking at you. For the first time seeing it, Goetia’s expression was somewhat surprised.”

“Whoops, well… ? I’ve never seen a kid that looks like that….”

“I see.”

‘I wouldn’t be able to say it even if it was there.’

I don’t know if Hilda knows that mine called Ge Tiara, but it’s clear that she has something of her own in her.

Otherwise, there’s no reason for Goetia to stare at you like that.

Because Mine is interested….

To be honest, I didn’t think it would be possible except for Elaine and the main characters.

‘I should go back to my dorm and look at my notebook again. There must be something I’m missing.’

A character named Hilda and a Mine named Goetia.

Both are existences that I don’t remember.

But it was clear that intuition and the current situation indicated that the two were important.

What is going on behind the scenes of the main story and why am I unaware of the existence of those two characters?

“Let’s go back first. If we talk among ourselves here, nothing will come out.”

“Fortunately, the villagers did not hear the orcs. We were all drinking at the tavern.”

“That’s fortunate. There is no way to explain it.”

“Tomorrow is the last assignment. It’s late at night, so let’s go back first.”

We came down the mountain road where bugs squeak and headed straight to the inn in the tavern.

It was a noisy tavern, but strangely, as soon as the door was closed, the sound disappeared at once.

Hilda had placed soundproofing magic throughout the room.

After confirming that Elaine, who had been pressing her ear to the door, returned to her seat, I spoke her words out.

“Let’s try to organize it. About that demon named Goetia.”

“Looks like a kid.”

“You shouldn’t judge the demons by their appearance, Hans. Because they are the ones who can freely change their appearance as needed.”

“For that reason, he acted like a kid. Seeing that he left after only doing what the other guy told him to do.”

I didn’t have a seizure like Mephisto, I just did exactly what I was supposed to do and left.

Just looking at this aspect, he is already different from most of the demons.

Usually demons are characterized by not being able to control their emotions.

“Then, that blood fossil was his fault after all.”

“Yes. He seemed to be able to handle even the orcs at will.”

“What the hell are you guys trying to do? After hundreds of years of absence, suddenly?”

“I must have been prepared.”

“Ready?”

Reina continued her words as she brushed her hair down the side of her.

“You must know the story that a long time ago, the demon king, the king of demons, was driven out of this world by others.”

“Isn’t that the fairy tale you read when you were young?”

“If you look at old history books, there are similar things. I saw it in our academy library.”

“Is that really what happened?”

“Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to figure out why demons are starting to appear recently.”

“Whoops… The exiled demon king sent his creatures, the demons, to the human world in order to reappear in the present world… It is a story that often appears in fairy tales.”

Hilda, who was resting on her chin, murmured in her low voice.

We already had no idea about practice.

Except for the first day, all the assignments were at the level of running errands, and even that was a speed that could be solved tomorrow, so we had no choice but to talk about the demon named Goetia, who reappeared following Mephisto.

“Well then, back to the academy tomorrow… Are you?”

“It should be. You shouldn’t delay any longer when you know that demons can control monsters at will.”

As the number of demons appearing is increasing, I had to inform Bella and Adely of this fact as soon as possible.

If they were members of the Imperial Knights, they would be able to deliver demon news to the Imperial Palace without going through any other reporting system.

Perhaps monsters appeared in Empsted where Siegfried was.

If you return tomorrow, won’t both arrive at the academy at the same time?

“Then I will have to do my assignment early tomorrow morning. Elaine, get up early. Let the two of you go tomorrow.”

“I, really— ah, I see…” .”

“Wait, two of you? The remaining tasks are for each person to do.”

“That is true for us. Except for him.”

Touching Elaine’s soft hair, she replied to Reina, who seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

Since Elaine is the youngest among us, and she is not even an adult yet, she thought that if she sent her somewhere alone, she might have an accident.

Because it seems like he’s still shy from other guys except Raina.

I was going to teach him what he was going to teach me while taking him around.

“Five tasks remain. Just in time, there were five people… Whoops.”

I just said it because I thought the time would be right since the traffic lines are similar.

“I will go too.”

“What?”

“I’m going too, with you.”

Suddenly things got weird.
