Chapter 195 – Battle Maid (Battle Maid)

000

The night Cleon and his party left for the Beryl Valley.

Five figures run through a dark back alley illuminated by the dim moonlight between the clouds.

Each of them carries their special weapon and rushes like a gale, aiming from shadow to shadow.

Accompanied by silence without a sound of breath and a sharply disciplined life.

If those who don’t know their identity see them, they’ll think they’re a group of assassins hired by a noble somewhere.

However, the girls who did not cover their faces in particular wore a specially made apron dress with strong defensive performance and a black uniform.

Judging from their appearance, they were excellent female attendants – in other words, ‘maids’.

“Target. In sight.”

The black-haired maid in charge of the vanguard checks today’s goal, a small shop, with her hand on the handle of a beautiful magic sword.

From the outside, it’s a small entertainment bar full of cars in the back alley.

However, through the information extracted from Kamala earlier, it is after finding out that this place is also run by abominable succubus nesting in the capital.

“Tiffany. Detect magic.”

When Lavita, the leader of the white-haired, red-eyed little girl-maids, said so, a bespectacled woman holding a broom-like staff behind her nodded her head.

When the small jewel attached to the tip of the wand goes to the shop, it flashes two or three times, conveying the number of demons there to Tiffany, the owner.

“The number is… Three. It seems that it is a low-level Yinma because the magic response is not very strong.”

When Tiffany finds out what’s inside her shop, Lavita sighs. As if you’re lucky.

“I can rest.”

“Lavita…”

Lavita shrugged her shoulders when Rubera called her name her and rebuked Lavita, who was spitting out her spirited words her.

“Ahaha… Can’t you…?”

“Yes. I’ll tell the madam.”

When the girl with the gigantic body clinging to Rubera’s back and holding her magic spear her spoke like that, Lavita only let out a ‘Ugh…’ Sound.

“What, isn’t it okay? Everyone. The captain is always working hard. It’s me, it’s easier to work with the captain here.”

At the back of the group, a girl with blonde twin tails carrying something like a large crossbow on her back her spoke.

“As expected, Fate is the only one who thinks of me…!”

When Lavita looked back at her girl her, as if moved, the girl called Fate responded by bending her eyes into a crescent shape.

“My cartridge ballista wants to test a new magazine. Can I blow up the whole store?”

“Now. Shall we prepare to rush in?”

No matter how much Lavita was, she looked away from Fate, who was making a joke that would send chills down her spine.

She pulled out the ‘Holy Sword – Amour’.

The amour, a shortsword shaped like a silver cross, was very thin on the outside, and the width of the blade was small, making it questionable whether it could cut down a single person.

“We hide in the shadows of the path of justice. We are chosen guardians who jump into the shadows where the devil hides.”

After silently reciting a prayer that could be called their slogan. Lavita pointed the tip of her sword towards the store.

“Tear to shreds the demons that stand in your way without leaving a single piece of flesh. Leave no visible harm to the soul, leaving only the powder. This is ‘cleaning’.”

And swish. With the sound of the sword blade cutting through the air as it rotates and swings.

For the demons, an order was given that could be called a death sentence.

“Conquest. Execution.”

001

“You, you guys. How did you get here…”

Dirty interior as expected. Don’t demons have a habit of keeping clean?

…No, to demons who don’t suffer from the diseases that humans do, even if they don’t do such a thing, that concept is meaningless.

Even the guests who come to such a place are likely to be just dropouts who have fallen from time to time and have flowed in because they cannot escape from the pleasures given by the devil.

My face naturally frowned at the disgusting smell of male desire mixed with the fishy smell of blood.

Ruba thought so, and put Barisada around the neck of the devil who was questioning them. With all her strength her, she breaks it and cuts his throat.

If you do that, her body will have a huge hole pierced by the magic spear, and her wings will be disassembled with magical power and reverse summoned.

This is the last One of the other two was cut down by Lavita instead of greeting. The other one-

“Ahh!”

Poududeuk!

It was seen that the back of the demon holding her body was broken by the supernatural power of the gigantic girl, whose mass itself could be said to be violence.

Throwing the magic spear aside, why did it start a melee?

Since I wasn’t watching her from start to finish, I couldn’t understand Ruba well, but I could see Tiffany clapping beside her.

The demon foamed at his mouth her and swung down his throat her, dispersing and disappearing into black magic power just like the demon he had finished off.

How did you get back to hell

Captured by a human woman and given a bear hug…

Thinking that they might be talking about the same thing made me feel a little pitiful.

But don’t worry, she’s not a normal human, she’s a lizardman and human hybrid, so strictly speaking, she’s not an ordinary human.

Please, in my next life, I hope that I will be summoned to a church-like place and suffer the reverse summoning.

She thought the same thing, and when Rubera returned her barisada to her scabbard, she heard a moan like ‘Ugh…’ And turned her head again.

On the floor, on a bed that looked like animal skin remnants that were also suspected to be functioning as a mat, lay a girl who had lost her life in her eyes, dressed in rags.

Judging from the wounds all over her body and the strong stench emanating from her body, it seemed that she was not simply a victim of energy absorption.

Like most women found on the brink of death in stores like this, her features her were well-groomed, and her pale pink hair was like cherry blossoms, giving off a neat charm.

“Tiffany.”

When Rubera calls for Tiffany, she walks up to her and checks on her womanhood.

After that, she said ‘Excuse me’ and stopped her body for a beat, then she took off her top her slightly and-

The light of the staff shines on the faint purple pattern engraved on the abdomen of her.

“Vintage… Same pattern as the victims we saw at Camilla’s shop.”

When Rubera says that, Tiffany nods her head too.

“Why? What happened? A corpse?”

As Pate approached the two gathered around her and poked her head out from behind her, Ruba let out a sigh, pressing her head as if to clear it.

“I’m alive… Not yet.”

“I think I’m almost dying…”

Lubera, who glared at Pate, who was spitting out her unwholesome words her, turned her body her.

“Tiffany. Please heal me. I need to prepare for moving to a monastery.”

“Is it okay? There are already a lot of people inside…”

Tiffany talks as if she’s worried.

Certainly, the monastery was gradually overcrowded with victims of sexual reassignment witchcraft that continued to be discovered.

No matter how much the Tromeia family fully supported the financial side, it was undeniable that a limit was gradually coming in that they had to accommodate people without being seen by others.

Even so, Ruba turned her attention back to the woman who was lying down.

A weak breath that seemed to be cut off. And, her skinny hands and feet were clearly being exploited.

…Obviously, coming here could have been a bit self-inflicted.

No matter what kind of person she was, if she was a person with normal emotions, she wouldn’t have set foot in her back alley.

So that-

“He has no place to be but there.”

After Ruba said that, she approached Lavita.

As a reward for properly disposing of her demons, Lavita, who was petting her Nora her, looks up at her Lubera her, who has approached him.

“Are you okay? You look a little tired.”

“…Yes, it’s okay. Rather, I’m more comfortable with myself than when I worked with the princess.”

Lavita laughed at Rubera’s words to her.

“That’s right. It’s more efficient when there are five people than when there are two people. Originally, if you move with a large number of people, the identity of the princess could be revealed, so it’s two people.”

Ruba nodded as if she understood.

Until the arrival of Ruba, it was common for one of her maids to accompany Amelia if she needed to act with her.

When all of her maids took turns acting with her, she knew at once how much Amelia was sacrificing for her people her and not caring about her body her or herself.

After Ruba came, Amelia’s attendant was fixed as Ruba.

It was like a kind of contract that Ruba made with Aurelia.

“…It wasn’t even here. Rubera.”

Looking at Lubera, who looked tired, Nora reached out and held her hand.

As tall as she is, her hands are gigantic as well. Nora wraps Rubera’s hand around hers with a hand that is bigger than Cleon’s, even though she is younger than Ruba’s.

However, thanks to her half-breed her with the Lizard Man, the temperature of her hand her was not that high.

Rather, it was colder than Rubera’s hands her.

Still, Ruba felt a little warmth and smiled at her.

Both Ruba and Lavita could understand what Nora was talking about.

One of the reasons why Rubera somehow goes in and out of her back alley often.

It was because her kin her, the ‘Dark Horse Clan’, would be hidden in Astarote’s hideout.

The dark demon clan is attractive to demons.

First of all, they have a high affinity for black magic, so if you make a contract with them, demons can more easily supply the black magic needed for the present world.

In addition, due to the nature of starting a runaway when emotionally unstable, it was a perfect prey for demons that gained magic power from unstable human emotions.

Come to think of it, Astarothe rapidly expanded his power after taking possession of the dark horse clan.

In other words- Eustes’s father, Hughes Woodnocker, died, and the spearman, who had been sponsored by Eustes and used the dark horse clan as a prostitute, passed into the hands of Astarothe.

Perhaps, in the name of revenge, he had pushed his family—the royal capital—into danger.

Day by day, with each failed search, such feelings of guilt and depression welled up in Ruba’s mind.

While thinking that it might be a piece of negative thinking unique to the dark horse clan, criticism of himself from clear facts circulated in his head.

The one who can erase it is the naturally virtuous Barisa, who can be said to be a part of her and part of her demonic sword.

And colleagues like Nora and Lavita, whose heads are missing one or two screws.

And-

Refusing to keep it in her head as to who the other one is, Lubera shook her head.

“When we fight, it makes a lot of noise because of the pate. We go back before the crowds gather.”

“That’s right. Did you hear Pate? It’s all over when I go back. I also broke three pillars of the building and ate.”

Fate hurriedly turned her head and raised her voice at the sound of thunder from the clear sky.

“What~?! You even broke a captain!”

“Because there is a difference in the number of responsible subjects for one and three!”

“I think the difference in responsibility between a captain and a subordinate is bigger than that~!”

Looking at the two raising their voices like children, Ruba sighed, Nora giggled, and Tiffany smiled wryly.

“Sss… Uh…”

In the meantime, a woman’s voice rang out as she let out her moans and slowly tried to come to her senses her.

002

The warm light from the sun rising through the cleanly polished glass window pours down onto the bed.

With the brightness tickling her eyes her, the woman with her pale pink hair slowly opened her eyes to see that her own body her was resting on something soft about her.

White duvet, white mattress. It can’t be said to be a high-end item, but it’s comfortable enough for one person to lie down and wash away the fatigue of the day.

The woman opened her eyes in a place that was vastly different from the smelly, filthy animal hides that were almost the same as the floor, and looked around her softly.

Then she saw a young nun asleep on her desk, sitting in her chair beside her own bed her.

What stood out to her was her blonde hair, visible through the veil.

The woman first checked her self and her physical condition her.

There was almost no sore spot, and her body her, which was dirty here and there, was not clean.

“I’m sorry…”

However, a slight discomfort felt in the lower part of the stomach of her.

Perhaps, if you slightly lift the comfortable textured cloth that was supposed to have been changed here, you can see that there is a light purple pattern engraved on it.

“Hmm…Nah…”

At the woman’s voice her, the nun who had been lying on her stomach her lifted her head in her whisper. Drowsy with drool dripping from the corners of her mouth her, she straightened her back, looked around her, and met her eyes her with her woman her.

“…Hello…”

“Oh, hello…”

Two people who exchange greetings in their sleep without even having a full voice.

“Hey, hey… How about washing your face first?”

When the woman on her bed she said that, the nun shuddered and rose from her chair.

Then, after nodding her head, she staggered out of her room.

What was it… That nun just now.

The woman thought so and sat quietly on her bed, waiting for her to return.

After a while – cry. When you hear footsteps and the door opens-

“Oh, hello! You’re awake!”

Saying that, he saw the nun from earlier return with her face wet.

“Yes, yes… Hey, you-“

When the woman asked the girl that, her girl straightened her dress and politely put her hands together and smiled at her.

“My name is Liza. I’m a nun from this monastery. Do you remember that you were rescued from the succubus shop last night and brought here?”

When Liza said that, she gave the woman a moment of trouble, then nodded her head.

“First of all, let me tell you that there is no way to get back to normal in the current situation regarding the body… I’m sorry.”

Liza lowered her head as she spoke, then she raised her head again and continued her story with an apologetic expression.

“Your condition is currently a secret in the capital… You must stay in this monastery until your body recovers. Please accept it.”

When Liza finished, the woman shut her mouth for a moment and looked down at her hands and legs her.

Then she lifted her head, met her eyes with Liza, and slowly opened her mouth.

“… There-“

“…How is my physical condition?”

“…Yes?”

…

Liza, who found her words strange, learned the following her while chatting with her briefly.

She herself was apparently working at a succubus’ shop, but she has no memory of her before then.

Therefore, she did not know whether her current physical condition was abnormal or normal.

However, what was engraved on her stomach was the same pattern as the other victims.

In other words, she, she, and she must have originally been a `male`, she just can’t remember it herself.

“I-I… Am… A man. How many male customers have I had so far?”

She rubbed her head or her stomach in disbelief.

… It was an experience that could not be said to be very pleasant for her, but it seemed that the feeling remained vivid even now.

“…You seem confused. So, you don’t remember anything about yourself before you were in that store?”

“…Yes. Name. Age. Family.

The look on the woman’s expression of her, unable to shake off her confusion of her, makes Liza think for a moment.

The human mind is weak, and erasing memories could have happened enough to protect the mind from strong shocks.

`…If not, a physical shock. Or maybe the memories were erased through magic… Whichever it was. There is no change in the fact that she is also a victim of this case.’

“…Sister. I, how can I…”

When she asked her Liza for her answer her, Liza replied with her benevolent smile.

“Don’t worry. Maybe, after getting mentally stable, the memories will slowly come back. Besides, there’s a way to get your body back to normal… Either way, even if you leave here, you won’t have a place to stay. Honey Please feel at home and stay safe.”

At Liza’s words her, the woman cautiously nodded her head.

Just as she said, the name, the face, and everything about the past had disappeared.

“Ah… But, if you’re staying here, you’ll need a name. That’ll be comfortable talking to everyone, right?”

“Yeah, that’s right. But… The name…”

Lisa looked at the woman who was so troubled by her own words for a moment, and then she suddenly noticed the rosary hanging on her wrist.

“…It may be a bit of an easygoing name, but… How about ‘Rosaria’?”

“Rosaria, is it? I think it’s fine…”

The woman nodded her head slowly to see if she liked the name.

Liza, as if glad to see such a woman’s reaction, sighed in relief and stood up from her seat.

“I’ll prepare breakfast. Please wait here.”

“Go, thank you… Sister.”

Today, Liza left her room with some relief that she had been able to help another lamb.

Rosaria’s room was enveloped in quiet silence, and only time passed slowly.

003

Partway down the hallway to her kitchen humming her hum.

She noticed a figure on the outside of the monastery who seemed to be watching her inside her, and Liza stopped her steps abruptly, and she walked towards it.

If you remove the iron plate hanging from the small window on her door her and stick out only the part of her eyes her to examine her figure her.

A girl with striking dark skin was standing there.

What he was wearing was commoners’ clothes that could be seen anywhere. But, of the back of her long hair, only half of her seems to have been cut off by something.

It was a girl with asymmetrical hair.

“…There?”

Seeing Liza’s gaze staring at her like that, the girl immediately returned her gaze.

“Ah… Keuheum. What’s the matter? Only those who have prepared a meeting in advance can enter our monastery.”

“Ah-… I see. I’m sorry. Actually, I came here through an introduction from an acquaintance. I thought I might need a little help…”

The girl said so and handed over her letter her.

Liza, who received her letter her suddenly pushed in front of her eyes her, was a little startled and nearly backed away from her.

First, ask the girl while accepting her letter her.

“Who is this introduction from?”

“This is Cleon-sama’s introduction. I heard Eustes is also inside.”

“Kul-… Kuh-hum. Mr. Cleon… I mean…”

Liza was a little surprised to hear the names of Cleon and Eustes come out of her mouth of her, but she calmly asked her once more.

“I’m sorry, but what is your name and affiliation?”

“I don’t have anything to say. I’m an ‘apprentice doctor’ who runs a clinic in a small adventurer town called Ellesia.”

As she says that, she gently opens the bag containing her medical tools.

“His name is… ‘Perdia’.”
