Chapter 86 – [Lubera Gaiden (Middle)] Responsibility

000

A dark, humid and dirty space that seems to have been created by people who don’t know the meaning of the word cleanliness.

Every time I turn my gaze, what catches my eye are disgusting bugs whose names I don’t know, and bloodstains that appear to be those of a person buried in a pile of garbage.

And raw things that stink.

The girl was advancing toward her destination her, barely enduring the nausea rising from under her robe her.

With each quick step, the silver feather-shaped pendant hanging around her neck her sways.

Although her occasional figures her, who appear to be her residents her, seem to stare at her and smack her lips her.

As the girl avoids eye contact with them as much as possible, she moves forward at a brisk pace.

The source of the gooey mana that clings to the entire body is a building deeper than this.

I’m sorry to the Duchess, but I had to check this with my own eyes.

Before the darkness seeping from the back alley puts El Cerdo, the royal road, in greater danger.

“If you don’t hurry…”

The moment I frowned at the black magic power that was getting stronger and stronger.

The moment you turn around the alley, you collide with someone and are thrown backwards.

What she felt was not a hard touch, but something soft.

“Oh…”

There was a mixture of surprise and pleasure in the woman’s soft voice coming from the front.

As the girl raised her head, covering her mouth and nose at the sweet smell of strong perfume, there stood a grown woman with tanned brown skin.

Her breasts and buttocks of her were accentuated as if they were about to explode in a bold outfit that barely covered her exposed, vital parts of her.

Her long, glossy hair and her unnaturally beautiful face her.

She didn’t know what she was doing in her back alley, but she instinctively felt the danger.

“Sorry.”

The moment she was about to move past her, still covering her mouth and her nose her.

She grabs the girl’s arm as she passes by.

“Kuh…!”

The girl is startled by her sudden touch her, but she bites her lip, trying to avoid touching her face her as much as possible.

“It’s strange… How many people must have passed by on the way here… How could it have come this far? A girl like you…”

She speaks in a nasal voice and grabs the hood of the girl’s robe.

“Ah… You weakly spread a barrier around your body with divine magic? Eliminates the sense of incongruity and reduces the interest of others…”

The girl remained silent in her words, and in front of her eyes her was the vision she had seen on her way here.

Compared to the other back alley dwellers, I noticed that he was a being with a high level of skill.

She grabs the wing-shaped pendant with her free arm.

‘Is there no choice but to do it…?`

At the girl’s silence, the woman puts a smile on her face.

“Well, that’s good. If the ‘material’ comes from outside, it’s right that we use it happily…?”

“Ingredients… ! Then, you are Astarote’s… !”

The next moment, the woman’s hand becomes strong and she tries to pull the girl.

The girl also puts magic into the pendant and tries to chant something for a moment-

“Heavenly Pillar…”

A pitch-black blade that dances in the air.

Like a butterfly flying on a moonlit night, on top of a dark alley, under the narrow sunlight.

She suddenly appears, twists her body in the palace, grabs her sword with a reverse blade, and strikes the back of the neck of the woman in front of her.

A dark-skinned woman collapses unconscious before she can even scream.

Landing on the ground with light steps, the swordsman-Lubera let out a sigh as she corrected her disheveled fedora.

Then she turned to the girl she had saved.

“Anyway, isn’t it reckless to come to her naked?”

When Lubera talks quietly, the girl who was stunned by her appearance her is`hot` and comes to her senses her.

Then, after contemplating for a moment while wearing her robe deeply, she opened her mouth.

“…Thank you for helping me. It must have been Lubera… Right?”

The voice I heard was very young.

Ruba slightly widened her eyes and predicted that the girl in front of her would be the same age as Sasha in Cleon’s mansion.

And, as she herself expected, it was her own person who sat in front of herself in her yesterday’s carriage and said nothing.

The proof was that he knew her name for her.

“…Yes, that’s right. And you must be a high-ranking person whose name and identity cannot be revealed, right?”

The Duchess of Tromeia sticks to her side and covers her identity.

If so, it must be someone from the royal family.

The girl in the robe nodded and opened her mouth again.

“Why are you here… Weren’t you looking for work in the capital?”

“My job is to be here. You’re not the type to come to a place like this… No, maybe you’re enjoying a little deviation here?”

Rubera’s sarcastic tone made her stiffen for a moment, then she shook her head.

“I, too, came here because I have work to do.”

After that, she replied with a voice that seemed to be angry, but she would not lose to such Ruba.

Luvera looked at such a girl, kept her mouth shut for a moment, then turned her body around.

“I don’t know what he’s going to do as he’s wandering around without an escort properly. You can take him to the Duchess of Tromeia.”

At Ruba’s words, the girl took a step forward as if that wasn’t enough, and she told Ruba.

“Wait! Rubera, do you know something about ‘Astarothe’?”

At the words that came out of her girlish mouth Her, Ruba couldn’t help but react.

However, no matter how you look at it, it is from the mouth of a girl from a precious house who seems to have grown up straight under the warm sunlight of the sun.

It was strange to come up with the name of an organization fighting over the interests of the back alley.

“… I know the name.”

Ruba answers her, hiding some of her truth her.

In reality, the Astarotes are running a business centered on Changgwan, and the members of the organization are all ‘women’ and are a group of crazy bitches who believe in pleasure.

Although I knew quite a few details.

“Then, what about ‘succubus’…?”

Ruba couldn’t help but be a little taken aback by the sudden name of the monster that came out of her girl’s mouth her.

‘Succubus’

Also called dream demons and innuendos, they are believed to be beings reincarnated from ancient sex slaves of demons who received their magical powers.

She has a beauty that never deteriorates, and seduces men and feeds on their spirit.

They can reproduce by intercourse with human males, and only succubuses can be born among them.

During the raid of the dungeon, in the case of a man who is completely fascinated by the succubus, the party mates even deal with him in order not to increase the number of succubus.

However, they mainly use spells of enchantment and fascination, and their personal combat abilities are not considered to be that high.

If you are an adventurer with some level of skill, it is one of the few demon-type monsters that you can fight against as long as you know how to destroy it, even if you do not put much effort into subjugating it.

“Currently, strange things are happening all night in El Cerdo, the royal capital.”

The girl said that and put the first button into the story.

And the story she heard from her after that was what made Rubera’s head hurt.

It was a story that most of the residents of the capital, regardless of social status or occupation, were having a dream all night.

From light things that make a good mood appear to the opposite sex.

Even the content that is close to the limits of human obscene imagination.

As the girl said that, she cleared her throat as if she was a little embarrassed.

Ruba frowned as she recalled the events of last night.

Ironically, she was able to believe the girl’s wild story because she had experienced the dream of her.

But, of course, the condition of those who had a dream could not be said to be very good.

Getting tired from losing sleep was a good thing, and the worse the degree of sleep, the more severely exhausted the physical strength or really exhausted as if it was exhausted.

Of course, most of the people in the capital aren’t like that out of frustration.

Something, the girl said, must be someone doing this behind the scenes.

“What does that have to do with Astarothe?”

To Rubera’s question, the girl shuts her mouth for a moment, then she takes a big deep breath and replies.

“About three weeks ago, a flow of bad magic that spread from the back alleys was flowing towards the entire royal capital. Around the same time, I heard the name of an organization called ‘Astarote’. They are people who believe in hedonism. .. I think it summons or enslaves a ‘succubus’ and shows ‘dreams’ to the residents of the capital through its power. I came here to solve that.”

Her words were logically correct, but Ruba still had unanswered questions.

“Why are you alone? There must be court wizards, so isn’t it reasonable to leave it to the Order if it’s related to the devil?”

“That…”

The girl paused as if slightly troubled, but she soon began to talk while stuttering a little.

“…I know that magic is flowing from the back alleys, because I am the only one.”

According to the girl, she is more sensitive to malicious magic than anyone else, so she sensed the wide and thin influence of magic throughout the royal capital.

Even in this capital, she was alone.

Unfortunately, even when she opens her mouth to tell others, most people do not believe her or her opinions of her are often ignored.

It’s her move to try to solve the case herself, she says.

“Why? Are you royalty? Who the hell disregards the opinions of royalty?”

Take the words of such a girl named Ruba as strange and point them out. The girl looked a little startled, then she slowly took off her own hoodie.

What appeared there was the face of a really young girl with light white blonde hair braided down her neck.

Her eyes her eyes gleamed with gold, and her face her was sculpted like a god-formed statue.

And, Ruba knew that face.

An ill-fated royal family with the nickname [Princess in Confinement].

Amelia Chaldearis.

Although Amelia’s mother is the king’s second wife.

After her uncle her-i.E., Amelia’s mother’s younger brother her, who plotted and failed in her treason while she was in her mother’s womb her, was executed.

She is the kind of girl who is said to end her life unrecognized by anyone, confined to a separate room in the royal castle with her mother her.

Her mother is said to have died after she was born, not having lived a few years.

Rubera knows her face her once in a year. On Victory Day, the biggest anniversary of the kingdom.

In the procession, where all the royals reflect her face, she too remains restrained, but with her face exposed, at the very end of the procession.

Because of her with her knees down, she was supposed to participate in the march.

No one said what the king was thinking of doing this.

However, according to the former Marquis Hughes’ idea, he deliberately revealed the face of the imprisoned princess so that if she escaped, she could be caught quickly.

It was an evil imagination that was perfect for the same level.

“Amelia… Why are you in a place like this…”

Ruba does n’t have her usual respect for her royalty her, though she calls her her by rude titles like her ‘you’.

Amelia does n’t change her expression as if she does n’t care.

“There is a way. It is understandable that Mrs. Tromeia forced you to remain silent about me.”

Lubera nodded as she placed her hand on his head as the headache intensified.

Originally, she was a princess who could not go out of a certain place, and if she went out to the outside of the royal capital as well as the royal castle, then she returned.

Because it is a huge issue.

“…I am a blemish in the royal family, a hateful woman whose blood flows like a traitor to the people. I have a duty to fulfill my duties as a member of the royal family. A responsibility to protect the royal capital within my reach.”

Amelia expresses her thoughts to her Lubera in her confident tone of her.

After Ruba quietly listened to her, she answered her.

“… So that’s why she tried to solve the case with her own hands instead of the people around her who did n’t believe in her?”

Looking at the girl who nodded her head, Ruba was lost in her thoughts for a moment.

Would it be right to take her back the way she is?

What was with her Mrs. Tromeia was whether she was condoning the going out of this princess of hers, or whether she was taking her back.

But then she shook her head and decided what she had to do.

“So you can chase the magic of a succubus.”

“Yes, and probably. That is Astarote’s hideout.”

With that said, Lubera approaches Amelia, and she puts her hood back on.

“Let’s go… Coincidentally, I also had some business with them. If you can pursue them, helping you is the fastest way to meet them.”

Looking up at Lubera who said that, Amelia nodded her head and followed the reverberation of her magic that only she could see, guiding her along the way.

001

Coke, Coke.

And a cough echoes from Amelia.

The more you go deeper into the back alley, the stronger the poison and the yin.

Certainly, Rubera and Amelia could feel with their whole bodies that there was something unknown and dangerous inside.

Among the two, Amelia is more sensitive to magic.

Perhaps the displeasure Ruba felt was greater than her displeasure her.

Ruba gave her a handkerchief she had and covered her mouth and nose to make her feel a bit more comfortable.

The fine pink smoke flowing through the air was like poison to humans.

[Barisada]

[Yes. I’ll purify anything that enters Rubera’s body her.]

She quietly entrusted her life to her own demonic sword.

I pass through the crooked road and stand in front of a building.

It was a large, luxurious mansion that was not suitable for such a back alley.

The interior of the mansion, visible through the high walls, was illuminated through almost every window.

I don’t know if it’s on purpose, but the silhouette made of shadows could easily tell that an obscene act was in full swing.

In other words, this place is `Changgwan. It was a place where a woman would sell her body her to satisfy her male sexual desires and receive money in return.

Among them, high-end windows require a high monetary price that makes it impossible for ordinary people to even pass through the entrance.

Standing in front of Walpurgis, one of the most prestigious sorcerers in the back alley, Ruba frowned.

‘You seem to be thinking of receiving guests after scattering such thick magical energy. Ordinary people would collapse along the way. What do you think?`

“Lubera.”

Turning around to hear a voice calling her from behind, Amelia lifts her finger and points to a woman standing in front of the front door, beyond her doorway.

Ruba’s eyes widen when she sees her.

Bat-like wings sprouted from its back her, and horns curved like those of a goat on its head her.

And, she has such a perfect and alluring body and face that even the same woman can be considered attractive.

Finally, pointed ears and a tail like a swinging arrowhead.

“Succubus.”

“Really, there are monsters in the capital…”

At Rubera’s answer her, Amelia darkened and clenched her fists.

Her face her showed her resentment at herself for not having the power to convince others.

“What are you going to do?`

When Ruba asked Amelia a question, she held her pendant around her neck for a while and then talked to her Ruba.

“Of course, we have to stop this. Find the head of Astarote…”

“You can’t go to your sisters?”

A voice came from above, interrupting Amelia.

When Rubera and Amelia looked up at the sky, there were several succubuses looking down at the two of them with lewd smiles and licking their tongues.

At some point, the two were surrounded by succubuses.

“… It’s nice to see you come out on your own. If I cut you down a few times, you’ll answer my questions without hesitation.”

Saying so, Ruba pulled out her magic sword her, Barisada, and took her stance.

The steps naturally take the form of protecting Amelia.

But Amelia throws off her robe next to Rubera.

Ruba was taken aback by Amelia’s sudden action of her, but something more embarrassing happened right after that.

“Holy Spirit, give me the courage and strength to fight against evil…!”

When the silver feather-shaped pendant she was holding glowed as her voice her resonated.

Intense divine light poured down from the sky, covering Amelia’s body her.

Then, the dress Amelia was wearing inside disappeared as if it had been extinguished by the light, and at the same time, pure white armor took its place.

Its appearance was like that of a ‘Paladin’, said to be the strongest knights in the kingdom.

And finally, the ‘Pure White Giant War Hammer’ in her hand.

No matter how I looked at it, she didn’t seem to have the strength to wield something like that.

She moved her arm her, holding the sledgehammer lightly with her feathers her.

Soon, when the series of transformations are completed, she looks at the surrounding succubus with confident eyes as before.

“A mace of justice for the foolish evil that disturbs the capital. Saint Princess Amelia appears here…!”

A storm of divine magic that rages around with a cool pose.

Lubera, like the succubus around her, watched it blankly for a moment.

“…”

Ha. Another strange thing happened.
