After bathing, I came out of the bathroom and Yukiko immediately came to me with various clothes and makeup tools.
(Ah, Yukiko's makeup mode has been activated.)
I immediately tried to run away, but Yukiko was already beside me.
(What the heck is with that speed. How can a maid move as fast as a knight.)
I was always curious about Yukiko's abnormal abilities, but no matter how many times I tried to ask, her father and Yukiko said that Yukiko was a normal maid.
(How can a normal maid have moves like this...)
Annoyed, I was forced to resign myself to being caught by Yukiko.
"Hime-sama, where are you going?"
With a beautiful but terrible smile, Yukiko held my shoulders very tightly.
"You're not trying to run away again are you?"
"Ahaha, how could I do such a thing."
At that moment, the bag in my bag suddenly shone brightly.
"Eh?"
"That light..."
Yukiko and I looked in the direction the light was coming from.
I immediately opened the bag, inside the bag was a marble that showed an arrow.
And right now the arrow was glowing and moving around as if trying to show something.
"Yukiko, it looks like I have to go."
"Eh? Where to? No, why is it glowing? Don't tell me, Hime-sama..."
Before Yukiko could say anything, I used this opportunity to escape her capture.
"I'll go first!"
"Ah! Wait, Hime-sama!"
"Take it easy, Yukiko. I'll be back before the party starts."
With that I immediately ran out of the room and went outside.
But even though I managed to escape from Yukiko, it seems like the guards outside are a little difficult.
"Hmm, at this rate I'll have to use the secret passage."
I then entered Zend's room and used a rope to get down from there.
(If Yukiko sees me, she will definitely be very angry with my behavior that is not suitable for a girl.)
While thinking of Yukiko's annoyed expression, I went down carefully.
"What? Lady Yoon disappeared?"
Just as I almost made it downstairs, the voices of people rang in my ears.
(Have I been spotted? No, it seems Yukiko told the officers.)
Right now it's certain that everyone will be guarding the front door right away. And it would be hard for me to get out of here, but I have a secret place that only Zend knows about.
I then entered the hole that Zend always entered to leave secretly.
(I'll definitely catch your true nature, Zend.)
...
"Haa..."
After successfully escaping from Kate, I was finally able to calm down. Perhaps because the suspense was over, my body went limp and I fell down.
(That was pretty scary...)
Although I looked confident, my body couldn't resist Kate's terrifying aura. If I didn't have the mental strength at this time, I would've fainted back then.
"Are you guys okay? I don't think so."
At the sight of all the members of Umbra Vitae, everyone fell down and seemed to be having trouble breathing.
"Haaa...haa..."
Of course they would be like this. This was the first time they had met someone as strong as Kate. In fact, it's great that they were able to survive until now without fainting.
I then looked at everyone and gave everyone a pat on the shoulder.
"Good job, everyone."
After calming down, I suddenly remembered the words I said a moment ago.
(What a shameful thing to say.)
I'm not someone who would say something like that. But somehow I said something embarrassing like that to Kate.
What exactly did I do, why did I say such an embarrassing thing.
It seems like not only my body has become small but my mentality has also regressed.
After that we rested for 2 minutes.
"Esie, what about the slaves? Did you save them?"
"Of course I did. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here."
In this mission, I not only asked Esie to infiltrate as a spy but also to release the slaves when the mission started.
Although it was risky, but with the appearance of the Theocracy everything could happen safely, it should.
"Indeed, you're a person who doesn't like failure. Take us to them."
"Okay."
"I and the other Umbra Vitae members went to a mysterious house with cognitive effects."
"Looks like Frum's device really worked."
Mikhael immediately praised Frum's artificial work, Frum who received praise from Mikhael was a little surprised and embarrassed.
"Well, to be honest I didn't do much. I just received the idea from the boss."
"No, I only give ideas. The one who finishes it is you. I didn't do anything."
Right, I didn't do anything, I just gave Frum an idea. It was Frum's creativity that made this all happen.
I then gave Frum a pat on the head. And Frum looked very happy.
I then entered the place and there were many children, women and disabled people.
When they saw me, they immediately looked very scared. Maybe it was because of the mask I was wearing.
"Calm down. I'm here to help you."
Even though I said that, they still seemed to be afraid of me.
Seeing that, Sera approached them and began to calm them down and hug them.
"Take it easy, you're safe."
The children immediately fell into Sera's warm embrace.
Sera was indeed a very good woman dealing with children, even in episode 1.
*Clap*
I then clapped my hands to make everyone pay attention to me. Everyone immediately looked at me and became silent.
(Seems like a joke would be good in a situation like this.)
"Look, I'm going to give you a choice. Live freely or leave here and start a new life."
"Isn't that the same boss?"
"Shut up."
"..."
Even so no one seemed to laugh, was my joke so bad?
"Ahem. Follow me."
I then led everyone out.
"Everyone, we'll split up. Everyone will take a few people with them. You know where we're going, right?"
*Nod*
After that I looked at everyone and started to divide our groups one by one.
I then took the children with me.
"If you encounter enemies, you must avoid them as much as possible. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
""Okay!""
"Understood."
"Okay."
After that, the kids and I went north to pass by a building.
"..."
"..."
Even so it seemed like the children were still afraid of me.
As I was walking, I suddenly heard footsteps.
"Shush."
I instructed the children to be quiet, then I tried to peek and saw a knight.
(Judging from his body, it looks like a rank C knight.)
With my current strength, I might be able to fight him. But since I'm already wearing [Kai], I can't solve this quickly.
So the only way is to avoid the fight.
I then gave instructions to the children to follow me.
I walked back and prepared to avoid the knight, but one of the kids accidentally nudged an item and it fell.
"I finally found you, you bastard!"
Then the knight charged straight through and slashed at us, I immediately used Muspel to block his attack.
I then used Nifl to stab the knight in the heart but the knight immediately retreated.
"So you're a dual element user. But that doesn't change the fact that I'm going to chop you up!"
With intense anger, the man slashed out with the fire element.
I then used Nifl to neutralize the attack.
"Why are you so angry with me?"
"Huh? Are you kidding me!"
Instead of answering my question, it seemed the man was getting angrier and slashing blindly.
"No, I'm not joking. I really don't understand why you're angry!"
With some trouble, I blocked the man's every attack with Nifl.
"...You really don't know?"
"Yes."
"Bastard! Don't you even know the face of the owner of the place you destroyed!"
"Ah~"
I finally realized, after a closer look. It looks like the man's face is quite familiar to me.
"Your face is too boring so I almost forgot about you."
"...Bastard... I'm going to kill you, chop you and those kids up."
"...You're the one I'm going to chop up. How dare you say that to the children."
With anger, I took a stance with both swords.
Right now I was definitely going to kill this guy.
With that, I used the [Kai] technique and immediately moved at lightning speed and slashed at that person, but it seemed like that person managed to withstand the attack just now.
But that doesn't mean you can survive that many times.
I then launched a flurry of attacks with the speed getting faster with each attack.
"How dare you do such a heinous thing, aren't you ashamed of being human?"
"Hah! Why should I care about insignificant lives like them. Humans are born with a different price, those here are those with a lower price than humans."
The man then continued in a voice that looked pleased.
"What's wrong with buying and selling creatures inferior to humans!"
"Shut up!"
At that moment, I used 100% to my hand and slashed at the man's head.
"People like you won't understand in the end. Die in pain."
"Argg!!!"
Although the man's head was cut off, his sense of taste could still feel the pain. The burning pain of Ignite.
