"Attempt?"

"Yes, the details are still under investigation."

A look of solemnity flashed across Alice's face.

"Then how do you know that the prisoner must be a demon?"

"The type of magic used by demons and us humans is slightly different. Ordinary humans can use magic such as water, fire, wood, earth, light, etc., but demons cannot, they can only use a single dark magic, such as curses. ”

This is quite in line with my understanding of demons.

"I see, that's why I judged that the prisoner was from the Demon Clan?"

"That's right. Something similar had happened before, so it wasn't too much of a surprise. But ......"

"You need to stay here and protect the people. I'm right. ”

"Hmm...... If the demon army takes the opportunity to sneak here, then things will be in trouble. So...... So I can't get out of here. ”

It can be seen that Alice also attaches great importance to this incident.

"Well, I know. So let me destroy the demons instead of Alice. ”

“…… Well, I can only ask you. ”

"Leave it to me."

"By the way, you put this ring on."

"Rings?"

Alice took off the ring from her hand and forcibly put it on mine.

"This is my status symbol as a princess, and with this they shouldn't be making things difficult for you. That's right! I accidentally lost my wedding ring during the battle last time, and I almost forgot to find a replacement. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, there's no need to rush this."

"What are you talking about? This is an important thing to take seriously. ”

"Really...... Oh hehe......"

I still can't escape......

"Damn! Why is this gone? ”

After rummaging through the cabinet for a while, Alice still couldn't find a replacement ring, so she could only give up temporarily unwillingly.

"Next time! Next time, I'll definitely look for a good one. ”

"Uh-huh, I see. Can you let go of your hand, it hurts me a little. ”

"Whoever calls the kitten doesn't care about our affairs at all, it's a little punishment."

"Ha ......"

I was even blamed instead.

"My father didn't say a specific departure time, so until I received my father's notice, the kitten stayed here honestly."

"Huh?! No way? ”

"My father just asked me to get ready to go, and didn't let me go immediately, so you can accompany me more."

"It's okay to accompany, but Alice, can you not show a look that wants to eat me, it's terrible!"

"Is it that obvious?"

It's obvious, and where are you putting your hand?

"That, Your Highness Princess, your hand ......"

"Any questions?"

"I'm a little sleepy......"

I pretended to be sleepy and tried to escape.

"Don't come to this set, let's take it!"

"Huh?! That, that, Alice...... Don't! ”

……

The next morning, I slipped out of the room while Alice was still sleeping.

"Whew...... Fortunately, I didn't wake up. ”

When I opened the quilt, I saw that Alice was not wearing anything, so I resigned myself to my fate.

Anyway, if you continue to stay here, you will definitely be treated like Alice every day, although it is very comfortable, and Alice is still ...... No, no, what kind of mess I'm thinking! Gotta get out of here early!

"Good morning, Miss Suzuki."

"Oh, it's Lilith, good morning."

"It's really rare that Her Royal Highness the Princess would get up so late."

"Really...... That, I still have something to do, so I'll go first. ”

I can't stay here for too long, and if Alice wakes up, I'll definitely be caught back to say good morning greetings.

"Ah...... Walked away ......"

Lilith watched me run away quickly, a little puzzled.

Come to think of it, maybe it's a good thing for me to stay there, after all, there are beautiful girls like Alice.

Snow-white skin...... Sweet red lips...... Proud figure......

"Kitten!"

Alice's roar was heard from behind.

Instantly dispelled all my reverie.

It's still too scary for a beautiful girl or something.,It's better to make a figure! Gentle, considerate, and not ...... Speak.

Sure enough, it's safer to get out of there.

I know why Alice is so excited.

If I hadn't left her a note, she wouldn't have been so angry.

I am very grateful for Alice's care for so many days. But I also have something that I have to do, and I will help Alice in her crusade against the demons. Now there are some unexpected situations, so I have to go. Goodbye, Alice.

- That's what I wrote.

I ran forward desperately.

"Kitty, where are you?"

Alice's roar came from behind her, and it seemed as if she was really angry.

Sorry, I have to go.

Originally, I didn't have to leave in such a hurry, but this morning I received instructions from Yukona, telling me to quickly rush to Celissi (the second-tier city against the demons) to exterminate the cadres of the Demon King's army.

Originally, I was thinking of going back later.

But as soon as I had an idea, a second text message came——— if you don't finish it within ten days, you're dead."

I don't know what the reason is, but I can't disobey Yukona's orders.

"Alas...... Trouble after trouble, really, can't you let me rest a little longer? ”

Trotting all the way back to Sato's house, I once again realized how important it is to exercise more.

On the way, I always felt as if Alice was close to me, and I was always on the lookout for it.

"Ah, Miss Suzuki, are you here so early again?"

"Well, there's something very important to talk to you about."

"yes, come on in. By the way, I haven't thanked you for yesterday's incident. Thank you for helping me catch my father's killer. ”

Sato bowed solemnly to me.

"Don't be so polite, after all, I promised you."

"From now on, if Miss Suzuki encounters any difficulties, I, Shizuku Sato, will do my best to help you solve them."

"You're welcome, Sato."

"That's as it should be."

When I entered the room, my companions seemed to have just heard my conversation with Sato and were already waiting for me in the room.

"Ahem, I'm going to announce something very important next, listen up."

(The sound of swallowing saliva.) ）

"We're going to go to Chelissi immediately to eliminate the cadres of the Demon King's Army."

"Huh?! Demon King Army? ”

"Or a cadre?"

"What happened, so suddenly?"

……
