“Eh? There was no one but Stingray-sama.” (Maid)
“What?” (Felmenia)
Unlike the normal Felmenia, having heard the maid’s answer, she muttered…
“Is there anything wrong?” (Maid)
“I will ask again, is there really no one else that passed through here?” (Felmenia)
“Y-Yes.” (Maid)
“You’re not lying?” (Felmenia)
“Yes. I swear to God Alshuna. It’s exactly as I told Stingray-sama” (Maid)
Felmenia threatened her, and the maid avowed, though Felmenia wouldn’t use any physical force.
And then, Felmenia interrupted.
“There’s no way you didn’t meet anyone. Before we crashed, Suimei-dono… I mean, Hero Reiji’s friend came through here.” (Felmenia)
“Hero’s friend? But, I didn’t meet anyone.” (Maid)
Seeing the bewildered maid, Felmenia thought…
“What does this mean…” (Felmenia)
“Hm, Stingray-sama, I must go to the south tower…” (Maid)
“Ah, it’s okay, you can go. Sorry for saying something strange.” (Felmenia)
“It’s alright, then, I’ll go.” (Maid)
The maid bowed and left.
(……) (Felmenia)
Felmenia was confused.
She didn’t know what happened, but he disappeared right after turning. It’s a mystery.
(Hm, there’s still time, let’s look inside.) (Felmenia)
While walking, she didn’t meet anyone.
When she arrived at the north tower, she was surprised.
(Wha-) (Felmenia)
She found the door opened. There wasn’t supposed be anyone coming here. Not only that, this door was sealed. It requires special magic to open it and yet… The only ones who know the spell are the King, the head mage, and me….
There’s no trail of the King or head mage having been here, then why has it opened?
Felmenia erased her presence and went to the door. Due to this series of events, she couldn’t help but be very nervous.
Felmenia stood and peeked inside. She could only see a figure standing there, carrying both a notebook about summoning, which is rarely seen in Astel, and something cylindrical.
(As expected…) (Felmenia)
She didn’t know how the hell he opened the door, but by the fact that he is here, it’s evident that he’s a mage.
But-
(Gu- What should I do? Can I just go in right now?) (Felmenia)
This is a restricted place, normally she would show up right away, but this is the hero’s friend, and furthermore, a mage.
Of course, she is confident that she could subdue him, but this is the hero’s friend. It would become a big commotion. What if the Demon Lord subjugation is canceled because of this?
