Eri gave out orders to the knights as her face distorted in anger. The knights all attacked Kaori together in order to stop her chant.
However, Kaori was not hurt, the swords that the knights were wielding were stopped by a barrier of light.
[Everyone! What exactly happened! Return to your senses! Eri! What exactly does this mean!?]
Having protected Kaori who was chanting the first-class recovery magic, Ririana soon appeared right behind Kaori. A sphere-like barrier wrapped around Kaori and herself in order to defend themselves.
Ririana was extremely confused as the situation was that the knights and soldiers were trying to kill Kouki and them and they were also following Eri’s commands. While placing up the barrier she called out to question Eri. However Eri wasn’t listening at all.
Ririana’s techniques were definitely of the higher class. Being able to cover an entire caravan in a barrier and holding out against the attacks of over 40 bandits. That’s why, even if the knights delivered severe attacks with their limiters removed, it was definitely capable of holding out until Kaori’s chant was finished.
And, because Eri understood that, her expression showed impatience.
[Chi, it can’t be helped I guess?]
Was it because of impatience? Eri gave up on turning her classmates into puppets and decided to kill them all off before they were healed.
Then, at that time, suddenly before Ririana’s eyes, one of the knights who brandished his sword against the barrier was beheaded and collapsed onto the ground.
The one who appeared behind the fallen knight was…...Daisuke Hiyama.
[Shirasaki! Princess Ririana! Are you alright!]
[Hiyama-san? With such an awful wound, you-!?]
Ririana’s face turned pale as she saw Hiyama’s state. Although her chant wasn’t interrupted, Kaori’s eyes also opened up widely. That was to be expected as Hiyama’s chest was drenched in blood. No matter how you looked at it, he had desperately and recklessly tried to escape from his restraints.
