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

When the group finally returned to the hotel, the sun that was originally high in the sky had already set to the west.

After the previous incident, April seemed to have opened up some new ideas, and announced to everyone that "slightly important research is going to be carried out" before returning to the room thoughtfully.

Although a little concerned, Giulia didn't stop her.

Although he was exhausted, it wasn't that he didn't have any strength left, it was just inexplicable, as if some part of his body was rusted, and he couldn't take any action.

When she froze in place like this, Iluna clapped her hands.The sound is not too loud, but it is enough here and now.

"Well, let's get started, the usual one."

Although Iluna used the statement as if she was going to use some secret weapon, Giulia understood what she meant almost immediately, and looked at her with a somewhat unbelievable expression:

"At this time?"

"It's precisely because it's this time."

The other party folded his arms confidently, and his tone was very natural.

"what are you guys saying?"

Catherine couldn't guess what code words they were talking about, and asked in a daze.

"Well, are you guys saying 'that'?"

Fuono seemed to suddenly remember something at this moment.

"Of course."

Ignoring Catherine's questioning voice of "what the hell is 'that'?", Iluna urged the rest of the people to start preparing together with her.Then, beautiful pastries were placed on the table, and various drinks were placed in front of everyone who was seated... After everything was ready, he announced leisurely:

"Then, No.20, a battle meeting, starts now."

After finishing speaking, Iluna leaned back, took a big sip of the super-sweet mysterious drink at the table, narrowed her eyes comfortably, and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

"Oh."

Giulia replied somewhat absent-mindedly, stirring the coffee in her hands at a speed like a machine class maintaining a specific frequency, her eyes staring blankly at a certain place, wondering what she was thinking.

"Oh."

Fuono clapped her hands obediently according to the usual practice, but because she was alone at the moment, the applause seemed extraordinarily sparse, and it stopped after a while, and disappeared completely.

"Oh?"

Under Iluna's threatening and dissatisfied stare, Catherine had no choice but to respond with doubts.Then, looking at the picture in front of him, he couldn't bear to ask:

"I said, what are you going to do?"

"Don't you know just by looking at it?" Iluna looked at her arrogantly, "Of course it's a battle meeting, a battle meeting!" After the other party had no choice but to give up asking for a while, he cleared his throat and said in a serious tone :

"Then, the first thing we need to clarify is the topic of this time."

"You don't need to say that, you know it."

Fuono couldn't help saying something in a low voice, with a bit of anxiety at a loss.

"That's what he said."

Unexpectedly, Iluna did not ignore her words, but clapped her hands thoughtfully, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth:

"Then, let's just go straight to the point."

Saying so, Iluna closed her eyes slightly, and said slowly:

"That happened one fall.

This happened very suddenly and without warning, completely beyond Luna's expectations.

What Luna still remembers was a clear and windy autumn day when the man approached Luna. "

"and then?"

Giulia heard her questioning voice, and from before, she felt that a certain part of her consciousness seemed to be separated from herself, and her whole body was so light that it was unreal.Iluna's words continued:

"The person who suddenly appeared in my room claimed to be the president of the adventure guild, and said something like 'whether you want to join us or not, the salary will satisfy you', and invited Luna to join a strange organization.

Although he seemed to be sincere, Luna resolutely rejected him at that time because her sister said, "The strange man who suddenly appeared and offered to introduce you to easy money must be a liar." "

"Wait, wait a minute, why did such a suspicious person arrive so easily in front of His Highness, what are those guards doing!"

"so"

As if a certain premonition had arisen in her heart, Giulia ignored Catherine who was struggling with the weak defense of the royal city, and looked seriously at Iluna who was still looking.

"At that time, he said——their job is to 'ensure that the hero's crusade against the Demon King is successfully completed'."

"..."

There was silence.

"So it's so easy to deduce the conspiracy behind the scenes, but anyway, even if you know this, it's useless, so let's skip it first." Iluna, who was in the center of everyone's attention, continued without slowing down. Her words, "The most important thing is what this event represents."

"……significance"

Giulia clenched her hand hanging by her side subconsciously, and a sound escaped from her lips.

"Well," Iluna nodded, "That is to say, the existence of the brave is special, and there must be things that only the brave can do."

That was the exact opposite of what Shirpasha said before, but it made people want to believe it for no reason.

"So——we don't have to do anything." Before everyone noticed, Iluna had already got up and walked to a place close to Yulia. At this moment, she smiled and stretched out her hand to rest on her. Big and small on the shoulders.

"I'll leave everything to Hagi."

Therefore, the girl named Giulia, no—— the hero, at this moment, was entrusted with the important task of finding the devil instead of defeating the devil.

After Giulia set off, the three of them still sat around the table.

"Speaking of which, Giulia turned out to be a brave man."

The dull girl Fuono realized after a while.However, someone is obviously more dull than her——

"Hey, that guy is a brave man." Catherine's eyes widened in disbelief, "How is it possible! Is it a lie?"

Then she seemed to think of something, and fell silent thoughtfully.

"Luna, could it be that I knew it from the beginning?"

Fuono asked curiously.

"No, actually I guessed it after thinking about the next countermeasures on the return trip."

"That's it." Fuono lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and after a little hesitation, he still said:

"We, just stay here... that's it, don't help, is it really okay?"

"I think it's not good to go to help." Iluna said, "I always feel that nothing good will happen if I go."

"Intuition?"

"Well, probably." Iluna tilted her head, "It's very troublesome to explain in detail in words."

The author has something to say:

Private boarding schools are hell.

Although there are a lot of things I want to complain about, and there are a lot of things I want to explain, but I really have no choice but to wait for the next time.

Timon, you have worked hard.

Trying to……
