Chapter 87: And the helpers are all set
While I was thinking about such things, Miss Elena took out a small bag from the pocket of her skirt.
Upon seeing the bag with fine embroidery in silver thread, Dior, the black-haired servant, shouted.
“Don’t tell me you’re going to use them all?! The demon beast stone won’t protect you, My Lady!”
“Shut up! You must have betrayed me as well! In any case, I must kill that woman!”
Miss Elena threw the small bag she had towards me.
Several rainbow-colored, transparent stones like the ones spilled out from the bag that fell neatly at my feet.
A sweet scent wafted from the rainbow-colored stones that basked in the light of the sky.
Thinking it was some kind of medicine, I tried to block the smell, but there was no change in the servants who should have been able to smell it.
“Uwaccha.”
Tracing the direction of Kvasir’s unpleasant gaze, there were three huge rock-like monkeys sticking out their faces from the trees.
It was another demon beast, different from the Ice demon beast.
“E, eeeeh.”
I can only be confused.
I think I can probably prevent it with my skill. If I can include them in the range, Michelia and Kvasir shouldn’t get hurt either.
But what should we do afterwards?
It would be good if Kvasir could defeat it, but when I look to the side and think about it, Kvasir smiles wryly and shakes his head.
“Sorry, there is only one sacred flower left that can use the same magic as before.”
Even if one can be defeated, there are still two left.
If I were to escape at that point, I would have to take those two out of the forest.
I don’t know the reason why they didn’t leave the forest, but if it’s to chase after bait that has escaped, they will surely leave.
What if unknowing farmers or passersby are attacked?
I became lost in thought.
I tried to keep the snow, cold, and flames away from my surroundings with my skill, but it seems that wasn’t necessary. The monkeys threw rocks.
The rocks are crushed when they hit the wall of my Block Skill and scatter in a place a little distance away from me.
“Whoa.”
Even I was surprised by the loudness and vibration of the crushing sound.
“Wow.”
While Kvasir looks like he’s enjoying himself, Michelia looks up at the place where the rock was crushed with a pale face.
We have to do something sooner rather than later…
Is there anything I can do with my skill? Since I can only set the starting point to myself, I can’t use a method of trapping those monkeys either.
It was a time of indecision.
Suddenly, one of the monkeys that was still a distance away had its head severed from its body and collapsed, spraying blood.
I couldn’t see its figure beyond the trees anymore, and I heard a heavy sound and a ground tremor.
“W-Who…?”
Someone had defeated that demon beast. But how did they do it? Is there another magician around? It’s fine if there is, but are they on my side?
But it didn’t seem to be a concern.
“I’ll take down one too.”
Kvasir jumps out of my Block Skill range while still holding the sacred flower.
I follow him and he stops after running a short distance and uses the magic again.
The demon beast that was a little distance away disappears into a pillar of flame.
The remaining one roars with a raspy voice, angry at the situation, and somehow manages to run towards me.
“Uh, hold on a minute.”
I’m worried, so I activate the skill again to make sure it’s not in contact with me. I don’t want it to be easily dispelled.
But that worry was unnecessary.
“Asher.”
A familiar voice calls out his name.
A black-clad knight on a brown-haired horse appears from the forest.
It’s Asher-sama.
While he was jumping off the horse, the demon beast was approaching us.
“Heaven’s spear.”
With Kvasir’s words, lightning falls on the demon beast.
Asher-sama easily runs up the body of the demon beast with its head burnt, and cuts off its neck.
The fallen demon beast no longer moves.
And Asher-sama, who landed on the ground with a frown, said, “The carriage can’t pass.”
“It can’t be helped. We didn’t have the leisure to knock it down on purpose.”
From the direction where Asher-sama rode on horseback, Lars-sama appeared on a chestnut horse. His clothes are still the same as when he visited the Grand Marquis family.
And on the other side of the fallen demon beast’s legs, a box-shaped carriage appeared.
From inside, the private soldiers of Lars-sama, who are always seen at Lars-sama’s mansion, appeared. They can be immediately identified because they wear a green surcoat over a natural-colored mantle.
“Wh-why…”
Miss Elena, who is standing helplessly a little away from me, pulls her face towards Lars-sama and the others.
Lars-sama explained to Miss Elena.
“Albert, who you used to hold me back. He is the kind of person who can’t hide things, isn’t he. While he was constantly talking badly about Miss Linea, he seemed fine, but when he ran out of things to say, he became completely muddy and it was obvious that he was hiding something.”
It seems that Albert spit out easily.
“Thanks to that, it turns out there’s an abduction not too long after.”
Certainly. Kvasir rushed over very quickly. It was also a short time before Lars-sama came here with the private soldiers of the mansion.
To be honest, I thought that Lars-sama wouldn’t make it here in time. That’s why I thought he had sent Kvasir first.
“After that, I talked to him. About his intention to kill Miss Linea, who you think is an obstacle. And the reason why Albert cooperated. It’s really something to hide a demon beast in a place like this.”
Lars-sama sighed.
