Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 213.3

A person who possessed the ability to summon and use a demon was a child, or a childish person who could never fully grow up.

If they wanted the Crown Prince’s fiancée to change, they were either noble young ladies who had no idea what they were getting into, or people who followed them.

Someone who could dive into the lower levels of a large dungeon, or someone who had the financial resources to purchase items for the dungeon.

“If I guessed that, I think we all have some idea of what you’re talking about.”

Mikhail, who had brought the information, took over after Elena finished her explanation and continued.

“Even before this speculation was made, I had the dark side investigate to see if anything suspicious was happening, including the noble faction. If demons were involved, we had gathered rumors of large numbers of missing people and large numbers of monsters and undead, but we were able to narrow it down to some extent based on Her Highness’ speculation.”

Mikhail spread out a map of the area around the royal capital on the table and pointed to one of the areas.

“This area is known to be remote, with few conveniences even though it is close to the center. Still, it is a place where the royal family during the former Kingdom of Cleydale gave mansions to the nobility as a reward, and several nobles still own mansions.”

With red ink on a quill pen, he crosses out what appears to be a village and circles one spot.

“There are people who have gone missing in the villages marked with a cross. In some cases, they are attacked by monsters, etc. and disappear, but ten people is too many. So I sent the dark side in to see if they could be found–”

Mikhail stared at the circled point, wrinkling his brow.

“…I sent five people and no one came back. And this place is a mansion owned by Baron Ostole, the head of the Holy Church.”

“Nero!”

I called his name as I entered the forest and began to run, and the shadow of a huge predator ran alongside me, leaning soundlessly close to me.

“Northwest.”

–Go–

Nero responded to my brief words, and with me on his back as I jumped on board, he started running through the forest more than twice as fast as I was.

A place where the secret agents of the dark side did not return. I did not know if there was a demon there, but Elena thought it was suspicious based on its owner.

It was just me and Nero who would go. I would not take anyone below rank 4 with me, as it would only increase the damage. Elena was worried by the look in her eyes that I was going to investigate alone, even if she did not say it out loud, but it was originally decided that I would move alone when we decided to divide our forces, so it was going to be just as planned.

Now that Carla was in the castle, there would be no major problems if I left Elena alone. Still, I left Viro and Jesha behind as well, as insurance in case Elena got caught up in the fight between Carla and the demon.
