The Adventure Story of the Devil, the Maid, and the Hero

"Speaking of which, why are you so sure that the brave is among us?"

After returning to the hotel, Shirpasha asked Catherine who was still looking at her gratefully.

"Because of the treasure given by the Saintess." Catherine confided the truth without hesitation, and took out a thumb-sized crystal pendant from the inside of her jacket, "This pendant can replenish energy by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon. When the energy is enough, it can Guide me to where the brave are."

Is it the saint again? It would be really troublesome if the pendant could track her location, so the original blessing of the brave would be useless, Giulia thought in her heart.However, since Catherine was only led to the five of them in the end, there are still doubts about whether the real function of the pendant is to track the brave.After all, Bai Ye knew that she was with Shirpasha, and it is possible that the pendant was tracking the Demon King.Thinking of this, she looked up at Catherine:

"It's the first time I've heard of a pendant that can track the brave. Can I ask, what did the Holy Maiden say when she gave you this?"

"Huh?" Catherine tilted her head and recalled, "It seems to be 'it can guide you to complete your mission' and 'the God of Light will bless you' or something like that."

"That's it, thank you."

The mission, so Catherine is the proxy hero.Giulia looked at the person in front of her. She seemed to think that her mission was to find the hero.However, in fact, the crusade against the devil is the most important mission of the brave.So, is this also included in the mission of acting as a hero?

"Ah," Catherine, who was watched by Giulia, yelled unconsciously, "So, I almost forgot the business." She looked at Iluna as she spoke, "Uh, Yi, Iluna... ...My lord, everyone is worried about you."

"I'm sorry, you seem to have identified the wrong person," Iluna said seriously, "Luna doesn't quite understand your words."

"...Your Highness Elona, ​​my mission for this trip also includes looking for you."

Catherine lowered her head, clenched her fists unbearably, and had a terrifying smile on her face when she raised her head.

In front of her, Iluna couldn't help shivering, forced a haha, and handed over a piece of cocoa cake stiffly.

"Want to eat?"

Just when Catherine subconsciously planned to take it, she withdrew her hand again with an "ah", broke the piece of cocoa biscuit from the middle, stuffed half of it into her mouth, and handed the remaining half to Catherine.Then when the other party was silent, he proudly puffed out his chest, turned his head and said, "Luna, Luna didn't give you the bigger half on purpose, it's just a coincidence."

"..."

Catherine silently took the half of the cocoa biscuit, which was less than half the size of a palm, and looked back at Iluna after eating it in two or three bites.

"The rest, the rest is Luna's."

Iluna protected the bag of cocoa biscuits in front of her chest, covering the bag with her hands and said vigilantly.

"I didn't intend to grab it at first," Catherine turned her head to look at Fuono who was beside her, "Is there any water?"

"Ah, wait a minute."

Fuono, who was still in a daze after learning the shocking news that Iluna was actually the princess, responded, and got up like sleepwalking to pour water.Then she was stopped by April who said "I'll do it", she sat back on the stool and continued to be in a daze, even murmuring to herself unconsciously.

"Luna...is the princess."

"How, have you discovered the sense of accomplishment of one of the world's greatest wonders?"

"Well," Shirpasha smiled and touched her head, "Little Luna is really amazing."

"Hey hey~"

Iluna narrowed her eyes happily and raised her head.

"As expected, I still don't quite understand what to be proud of in such a thing."

Giulia looked at Iluna who was proudly holding her chest with a complicated expression. Although she had guessed that she was probably from a wealthy family, she did not expect that the actual situation was more than imagined.

Also, there have been brave princesses in history.I don't know if it's because she has been overly sensitive recently, but Yulia's thinking has diverged a little.

"Unexpectedly, it is so natural to make such an intimate move towards Her Highness the Princess."

Catherine stared at the interaction between the two, and couldn't help feeling a little admiration for Shirpasha.

"What?" Iluna pouted dissatisfiedly, "Luna is not a tiger, she would bite people suddenly."

Catherine straightened her posture immediately and apologized politely.

"By the way, Luna, why did you run away from home?" April, who brought back the water, put the cup in Catherine's hand, and after she thanked her, she turned to Iluna and asked, "Your family should be very worried. ?”

"Because they want to send Luna out!"

Iluna puffed up her cheeks aggrievedly, clenched her fists and said angrily.

"His Majesty the King only intends to betroth a princess to the hero who has completed the great feat of defeating the Demon King," Catherine explained, "and did not specifically designate Her Highness Elona."

"Hmph, is this treating Luna as a fool?" Iluna turned her head away disapprovingly, counting her fingers one by one:

"The eldest sister is gentle and virtuous, but she is already engaged to the heir to the throne of a neighboring country;

The second sister is serious and excellent, and she is also the leader of the Knights, but it is said that she once broke the leg of one of her low-spirited suitors, and no one dared to choose her. "

"Well, since you are a brave person, you may have extraordinary courage." And a unique taste.

Catherine retorted bravely, but after being glared dissatisfiedly by Iluna, she stopped her voice angrily.

Iluna continued to elaborate:

"Eldest brother is handsome, gentle, considerate and caring, but he is the future heir to the throne, how could he marry off;

The second brother is always making fun of people, how could there be someone to choose, just skip it without explaining;

As for the younger sister, she is only six years old!If the hero is that kind of beast, even Luna would not agree! "

After finishing speaking, she raised her head and looked at everyone, "Now everyone understands, Luna is the only candidate."

Giulia couldn't help but think of the past from a long time ago.Ah, so that's why Iluna said so firmly at that time that she would protect Shirpasha, and she once said that she would get rid of the brave man with a black air, and said with a smile that she wanted to see the brave man.

However, the reason why the king had such thoughts was probably because she escaped.Thinking of this, Giulia always felt a little guilty for a while.
