The Adventure Story of the Devil, the Maid, and the Hero

By the time the group finished their investigation and returned to the town, it was already completely dark.

Since it was getting late, they simply handed in the task, greeted Candice and settled for dinner at her house, and after sending Ollie home, they returned to the hotel where they were staying and planned to rest.As for the brief process report required for the commission of grade D and above, it will be reserved for tomorrow.

At that time, Giulia had already taken off her robe and coat, washed up briefly as a habit, and planned to turn off the lights and rest after a while.But I didn't expect that there would be a knock on the door at this time.

The voice is not light or heavy, and the interval is very regular, it doesn't seem to be particularly anxious.

After hesitating for a moment, Giulia put down the staff in her hand and stood up to open the door.

Unexpected but expected in a sense, standing outside the door was April.

"Is there a problem?"

While asking this, she took a step back, allowing the person in front of her to enter the room.

"Excuse me," April said, sitting down on the wooden stool beside the table, and then took out the small leather book that Yulia looked familiar to her.

After she opened it, Giulia was completely sure when she saw the contents clearly. This was exactly the one they had seen in April's purse they had picked up before.It was not put in the backpack but deliberately put in the purse that was carried close to the body. Logically speaking, it should be very important.

In this way, April is not the kind of negligent person. Why did she lose such an important thing as a purse before?

"Then I'll be blunt, how much do you know about the language on this?"

April's voice interrupted Giulia's spreading thoughts, causing her to turn her attention back to the present.

"It's almost able to understand the meaning."

Seeing April's serious expression, she replied truthfully.

"In other words, you don't know which language this is?"

Giulia nodded and looked at her suspiciously, not quite understanding why she asked this question.

Wait a minute, could it be—

"Before that demon's residence, I found a paper that seemed to be written in the same language."

Saying that, April took out a stack of yellowed parchment without hesitation.One side of the paper had untidy tear marks, as if it had been torn from a diary or something.

In other words, the writing on these papers is likely to be the same as the writing on the leather book, and is it likely to be the language of the demons?

Sure enough, she looked a little unnatural at that time, and it seemed to be because of this.

But, in this case——

"why me?"

Why do you have to tell her? If you want to discuss these things, Fuono, who is a childhood sweetheart, is obviously more trustworthy, isn't it?Even if it is inconvenient for some reason, and Iluna is removed because of not knowing the language, why choose her instead of Shirpasha?

"Because you look the least threatening." April said without hesitation, "Auxiliary magicians are not dull, they are stable, and most importantly - they don't like extravagance." After all the reasons were stated , she smiled slightly at Yulia, "If it's you, you shouldn't have to worry about it in various senses."

"Is this... a compliment?"

Giulia smiled wryly with a complicated expression.

"I just think being open is good for building a good relationship of trust."

April's smile was unmistakable.

"I don't like extravagance. Did you choose to tell me this even though you knew it?"

And in this way, it is very likely that she will never choose to ignore the knock on the door.

"That's why I said 'dislike' rather than 'dislike'. After all, you didn't ignore Fu Nuo's plea for help when we first met."

——It was noticed.

Giulia sighed helplessly, and then said, "Then, after reading the content on these papers, I will tell you the general content, is that okay?"

April, who got the answer she wanted, left contentedly.

Giulia put away the parchment absently, and her thoughts drifted back to not long ago.

When she first heard the knock on the door, she actually thought that Shirpasha was the most likely person to come.

After all, that kind of thing happened during the day, if Shirpasha didn't notice it, the possibility should be Zero.

If such a thing happened but he didn't come to her, if he didn't intend to pretend not to notice, then it was because of other things.

Other things... Could it be that Shirpasha sensed that April would come to her... No!Wait, if it wasn't for this—

Giulia stood up abruptly, rushed to Shirpasha's door almost as fast as she could, and pushed open the door of the room without saying hello.

With a "bang", the scene inside was reflected in her eyes after the door was pushed open.

The first was the one who turned his head when he heard the knock on the door - the black-haired and black-eyed Lord Demon King, and then - the silver-haired girl in a gray robe with dark gray pupils that could not read the emotions of her master.

"Haha, haha."

Giulia held on to the door frame with one hand, gasped heavily, and stared intently at the two people in the room.

"You are here."

The silver-haired girl looked at her calmly and said.

Giulia looked at her vigilantly, stepped forward to block Shirpasha, and clenched her hands to cover up the trembling of her fingers.

"Hagizu?"

Shirpasha, who was blocked behind her, was surprised.

Giulia just looked at the silver-haired girl in front of her, pursed her lips, and uttered a voice:

"what do you want to do?"

"I won't do anything." The silver-haired girl stared at her innocently, tilted her head and added after thinking for a while, "At least not now."

Shirpasha looked at the two people who seemed to be on the verge of breaking out—although it was basically Kyulia's unilateralism, she couldn't help explaining:

"Don't be so nervous, the other party is not an enemy."

As if she couldn't read the atmosphere, the silver-haired girl in front of her added flatly following Shirpasha's words:

"At least not your enemy."

So Giulia, who heard the meaning behind her words, naturally wouldn't let go of her vigilance, but instead became more hostile to her.

"It seems that Miss Yulia hates me, what a pity." Although the silver-haired girl said this, there was no sign of regret on her expression, and then she bowed slightly, "Then I will leave for the time being. gone."

After finishing speaking, she retreated to the window, and disappeared from the sight of the two with a light leap.

After confirming that she had really left, Kyulia turned around and looked at Shirpasha anxiously.

"Are you okay?"

"Ha," Shirpasha had to explain again, "she has no ill intentions toward us."

"Not being malicious there is not the same as being not doing harm."

Giulia obviously couldn't agree with this.

Therefore, after she looked Shirpasha carefully up and down, and confirmed that she didn't seem to be hurt at all, she reluctantly accepted her worries.

"Okay, okay, it's late now, no matter what you have, let's talk about it next time."

Shirpasha looked at her uncharacteristically, and said helplessly.

"You need me for something?"

Before leaving Shirpasha's room, Giulia reassured.

"Good night." Shilpa nodded with a smile on her face, and closed the door.

Giulia thought that she could rest in peace at last, but she didn't expect to see the figure who just said goodbye and left by the window just after returning to the room, and she immediately tensed up.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

She looked at the silver-haired girl sitting on the window sill and quietly watching her, and asked in a deep voice.

"You should remember what you are going to do?"

The silver-haired girl didn't answer the question.

"I——want to repay Shilpasha's kindness."

Giulia took a deep breath, clenched her fists and said firmly.

The silver-haired girl tilted her head, as if she didn't understand why she got a completely unexpected reply, but she continued:

"Don't forget where you stand."

"I am—the maid of the Lord Demon King."

Giulia answered without hesitation.

"..."

The silver-haired girl who expected a mistake didn't know what to say.So fell silent.

So it was Giulia's turn to ask her questions.

"Who are you, Lady Saint? Or someone else?"

"My name is Bai Ye, so this time I'm really saying goodbye, goodbye..." As she spoke, she tore open the scroll that appeared in her hand at some unknown time, then opened her lips a few times, her figure gradually blurred, and finally disappeared not see.

Those few syllables were almost hard to hear because of the distortion of the space, but they were still passed into Yulia's ears completely——

"Candidate for the brave man."

The author has something to say:

Xiaobaiye doesn't understand people's hearts (laughs).

Little Yulia is the kind of setting that will blush or speak seriously (mostly adapted) lines depending on the situation.

Well, Timon should be a faction who pays more attention to the result than the cause, but let's just talk about the facts.

By the way, an irrelevant digression: the feudal remnant thought is really scary.
