“Take it here!”

As soon as the girl with purple hair fell from the sky and landed, she threw the woman on her back towards Liana.

Liana, who had unexpectedly accepted the woman, looked at the woman’s face and opened her mouth in surprise at her true identity.

“Eck, suddenly what…. Aunt Vanessa?!”

As soon as the purple-haired girl handed Vanessa over to Liana, she immediately ran forward, snatching up Lorna and Rachel and tucking them into her sides.

Anise’s sword and Barche’s magic came flying at her, but the girl ignorantly took them with her bare body without getting hurt and returned, putting Rona and Rachel down next to Liana.

And when the girl clapped her hands once, what looked like a solid black line spread across the ground like a spider’s web and ran, dragging all the fallen guards and horses in front of the girl.

In the meantime, Anis and Barche attacked the girl and tried to interrupt her actions, but the girl did not move a single step and just waved her palms to block all the attacks.

“Who, who…?”

Liana spoke to the purple-haired girl who continued to do outrageous things.

Looking at the situation, I could tell right away that she was not an ordinary person, but if there was a person with this kind of ability, even Liana would have heard of a rumor at least once, but Liana had never heard of a talented person with a girl-like appearance. There was no bar.

“I don’t know anything now! For now, you should just run away!”

The solid black line that dragged the people and horses swayed as if dancing, putting everyone on the horses without distinguishing between those who were conscious and those who were not. And the horses, which somehow seemed to have gotten a little bigger and whose eyes had become more intense, let out a long cry and started running in one direction all at once, carrying people with them.

“Now, wait a minute, I have to tell you what the heck is…!”

With the horses running dexterously without even letting the unconscious person fall from their backs, the sound of Liana’s shouting grew further and further away and soon became inaudible.

“What on earth are you doing, devil?”

When everyone else had left and only the girl was left, Anis, who no longer needed to worry about what others heard, glared at the girl and said,

She was not as tall as she had seen before, but rather had the appearance of a small girl, had no horns on her head, and was dressed like a commoner girl commonly seen in the royal capital. However, as if she had no intention of hiding her identity at all, the girl used the face of the demon lord she had seen before. was doing

“Isn’t this a violation of contract? How did you come into the kingdom and do something like this?”

“It’s not a violation! That’s what I have to protect! Control the monsters and demons and prevent them from invading the kingdom where humans live! Do not kill or attack humans unless your life is in danger and you cannot escape! I haven’t violated anything! The main body is working hard to control monsters and demons, and has never tried to kill humans or even attacked!”

“Are you kidding me? Is that kind of pun a problem now? Why are you suddenly disturbing us here!”

“It’s not a hindrance, it’s a help. If even one of them died just now, it would be a failure. I have to do it again.”

The Demon King, who had always had a mischievous smile on his face, spoke expressionlessly with his eyes that seemed almost empty. Seeing Anis and Barce keeping their mouths shut, momentarily overwhelmed by the atmosphere, the Demon King changed his face to a wide smile again and spoke.

“Hey, don’t look at me so nervously, it’s embarrassing. Anyway, it was necessary so there was nothing I could do.”

Barce asked the Demon King, who was laughing loudly as he looked at the two, in a calm voice, unlike before when he was angry and scolding him.

“That sounds like it’s not the first time… Wasn’t our contract saying we couldn’t change the time without permission?”

“Are you asking because you know and want to confirm? If I face a life-threatening threat that I can’t help, or if you all agree, I can turn it back. And contractually, we decided to treat your death as consent. I remember everything.”

The Demon King did not change his expression as before and was still smiling, but upon hearing the Demon King’s words, Anis and Barche felt an even colder sensation than before running up their spines.

In the end, what the Demon King was saying was that either their plan failed and the Demon King was in danger of dying, or Anis, Barce, and Elise all died, or they had no choice but to agree to turn back time.

“What number is it?”

And judging from the Demon King’s nuance, it seemed like it had already happened several times, not just once, so Anis couldn’t hold back the rising doubts and asked the Demon King a question.

“It’s okay. Still not that much. I won’t even remember it, so let’s not worry about the details.”

“Then why didn’t you tell us in advance… You’ve already done it? Is that a failure too?”

Seeing the Demon King just smiling without any answer, Barce paused as if he realized something, and then fired a question at the Demon King again.

“Think whatever you want. Anyway, I will intervene if I see things going astray, so don’t be surprised at any time. So goodbye! Bye!!”

After finishing speaking, the Demon King’s appearance became blurred, as if to prove that it was an alter ego, and soon scattered into the air and disappeared.

Barce, who was quietly looking at the place where the Demon King disappeared for a moment, spoke to Anis.

“You should tell this to Elise too, right…?”

“I guess so… It’s not the first time… Sigh, this has really become a headache…”

It seemed like the absence of Rachel, Liana, Lorna, some of the Guard Knights, and even Vanessa, the Duke of Raidlin, would interfere with the plan, but if what the Demon King said was true, if even one of them had been captured and killed here, it would have led to a failure, so all kinds of imaginations can be imagined as to why that would happen. When this came to mind, Anis and Barce felt dizzy.

Anis and Barche left the scene with a sigh, unable to hide their complex review and embracing their increasing concerns.

56.

“Rachel, no matter how much I think about it, it’s clear…”

When it comes to the composure that she consistently showed while dealing with Anis and Barche, both of whom had become considerably stronger, and the overwhelming skills that matched them, as well as being a being completely unknown to humanity, there were a few things that came to Rona’s mind.

And with the thought that she might be the worst of all, Lorna spoke to Rachel with a confused face.

“Rona, I know what you’re thinking, but please don’t ever say those thoughts out loud.”

“Uh, uh, okay, okay. Okay… ”

Lorna had no choice but to keep her mouth shut as Rachel, who had stopped the bleeding and administered first aid even while shaking on a running horse, spoke with a more serious expression than usual.

There was no evidence and it was just speculation, but it was definitely not something to be said carelessly, as Rachel said. Unable to admit that fact and share her concerns verbally, Lorna groaned and held her head.

“Huh? uh? No, I’m curious, what are you thinking? Aren’t you talking about that guy with the purple hair earlier?”

Rachel responded to the words poured out by Liana, who had a confused face.

“I’m sorry, Liana, but if you can’t guess, it’s better not to know. To be honest, if Liana knew, I don’t think I could hide it properly. Please just remain ignorant.”

“What is that! Just for me! Well, as you said, I don’t know what it is, but if it’s a big secret, I don’t think I can hide it… Okay. I won’t think about it.”

Although I was curious, giving up something was something Liana was used to and one of the few things she was good at.

After hearing Rachel’s warning words, Liana erased all thoughts of the purple-haired girl from her mind and immediately spoke out the new question that came to her mind as if to replace him.

“But where do we go now?”

“Originally, there were several candidate sites…”

Rachel glanced sideways at Vanessa, who was still unconscious, and continued speaking.

“Since Vanessa is with you, it would be better to go straight to the duchy without considering other candidate locations.”

I excluded her because I thought it would be difficult to secure or attract her, but Vanessa, Duke of Lydrin, was a person who could be said to be as important as, or even more important than, Princess Liana.

As the owner of the Kingdom’s highest noble family, the Duke of Raidrin, Vanessa’s words must have real power that cannot be ignored.

Although it was uncomfortable that a girl with purple hair, whose identity was highly questionable, had to hand it over at this point, it was not the time to hesitate.

Their goal is one: to retrieve their master, the hero, and to return to being bitches like before and enjoy the joy of serving their master once again.

For that purpose, even if I was used by someone, it didn’t matter to others or what the outcome would be.

The bitches, harboring the most base desires hidden under plausible justifications, headed towards the Duchy of Raidrin.
