Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 213.1

The Town Where the Demon Lives Part 2

A month had passed since the royal palace was attacked by an unknown monster.

The monster was so powerful that many knights and magicians were incapacitated, and the head court magician was seriously injured, but thanks to their efforts, the monster was vanquished. The official version of the story was as stated.

There was enough damage to cause numerous deaths, and the magic was so powerful that it could be seen even from outside the castle. If they kept quiet, only bad rumors would spread, so such exaggerated details were made public to dispel the people’s fears.

The castle was on high alert for a few days after that day, but it has now regained its composure thanks to the dispatch of priest-knights from the Holy Church in the royal capital. This was because there had been no new attacks in the past month.

The purpose of the Greater Demon, a higher ranking demon that appeared in the city, was unknown. But the demon’s miscalculation was the presence of Carla, who was able to counter the demon.

That was why Carla’s killing of so many knights and magicians was unquestioned.

In fact, the head court magician who was caught up in the deliberate act was burnt to a crisp by the flames, and the one arm he lost was so badly injured that it was not even known whether it could regenerate or not, and he was forced to stay in absolute bed for several months.

“Why does Carla want to be quiet about it?”

Elena, who had been recalled to the royal palace from the academy, muttered such a question, and Rockwell, the escort knight, nodded quietly.

“I’m sorry to say this, but I don’t think she will follow the wishes of the royal family. Still, she has her position, so she is pretending to agree, isn’t she?”

Certainly, it was quite possible for her to nod only on the surface and then move as she pleased. But I understood Carla’s intentions.

“Maybe… it was to say that I’ll wait for you.”

I blurted out, and everyone present looked at me at my words, and that was all it took for them to look at me with a somewhat understanding look.

Carla was waiting for the demon. I doubt that Carla would miss her “prey”. Probably, even Carla could not defeat the demon.

So Carla was waiting for the demon to attack her. This time, she wanted to make sure it would be destroyed. The reason why she waited at the castle was most likely to harass her father who was healing at the castle, but that was just my imagination, so I won’t speak about it.

The demon did not appear again since then, most likely because of Carla’s presence in the castle. I doubt that the demon had any feelings of fear, so it was likely looking for an opportunity to kill Carla.

Until now, the demon countermeasures had been limited to equipment and vigilance, as this was a report from an adventurer like me, but now that actual damage had been done, full-scale countermeasures were taken.

In the opinion of Elena and the Prime Minister, the probability of a demon of that level naturally occurring in our world was low, and even if it appeared by chance, it would not have that level of power. In other words, there was someone who summoned that thing and controlled it. Even if ordinary knights and magicians were no match for a high-level demon, if the one controlling it was a human, they could capture that person or defeat him or her.

Thinking this way, we could naturally see the purpose of the criminal.
