Poverty Alleviation Princess

Everyone followed the sound and saw a huge centipede with a waist thicker than a pillar suddenly appearing from the air, rushing towards this side with its teeth and claws.

"Protect the city lord!"

The soldiers shouted and ran.Some people raised their arms and stepped back to protect the city lord from leaving, while others raised their weapons and moved forward.But ordinary soldiers have limited strength and cannot pose a threat to centipede monsters.On the contrary, he was overturned a lot when the other party shook his head and tail.

"You back up!"

Inuyasha immediately pulled out his broken teeth and charged forward, Mitreya and Shan Shan also stood in front of the girls with one stride.They are fully prepared and ready for a bitter...

Hard fight?

Looking at the centipede monster that was hacked into several pieces by Tie Sui Ya, and fell down like a hail, several people fell silent.

Just... Even if it's not that strong, it can't be so weak, right?

Obviously it looks quite strong, but this body is not small, why can't it be cut.

Inuyasha was also puzzled.

He didn't even use the wound of the wind, he just rushed forward and slashed.

When he stood on the ground, he was also taken aback: "Am I so strong?"

Although I corrected a lot of movements in the battle with the man named Uchiha, both the power output and the power recovery became smoother... But it is not possible to suddenly have such a big change?

"Do not."

Maitreya and Coral approached the dead body. The two experts who had been fighting monsters for most of their lives inspected the monster's corpse and frowned: "It's because this monster itself is very weak. Although it looks powerful, it's only on the outside— —or it should be said that someone used some means to make it look more powerful."

Mentioning this matter, several people thought of a certain name at the same time.

It's just that there is no clear evidence yet, so it's hard to say it.

"You, you are exorcists?"

The servant who had just led the way ran out of nowhere.

"Is it the exorcist from that city?"

"...That's right."

A Yuan responded absent-mindedly.

For some reason, after entering the city lord's mansion, she had a faint feeling of irritability.

This sudden, uncontrollable emotion filled the whole body for no reason, and there was a subtle sign of losing control.And this feeling tends to intensify when he gets close to the city lord.

"Remarkable technical virtuosity."

The middle-aged city lord who was guarded behind clapped his hands abruptly, but there was no surprise on his haggard face, which seemed to have been hollowed out prematurely by wine.

He still looked numb and haggard. Although he seemed to be looking at them, his eyes were empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

His compliments, however, were not met with a routine response.

A Yuan didn't answer, and the few people headed by her naturally wouldn't overstep, so the scene suddenly became awkward.

Naturally, the retainers and servants who belonged to Renjian City would not just stand by and watch their sovereign being treated so unreasonably, so the servants who had just been scared by the monster and scrambled away came forward to catch the silent Ah edge arm.

However, Uchiha Madara was standing next to Yuan, how could he succeed, so he flew out before his outstretched hand was even close to Yuan's sleeve.

Then, as if awakened by the sound of him hitting the screen, A Yuan, who had ignored everyone before, moved.

She unexpectedly walked in the direction of the city lord.

Maybe it was because he didn't expect this young girl to approach the castellan so abruptly, neither the castellan's attendant warrior nor Kagome responded immediately.

Until she suddenly stretched out her hand, grabbed the middle-aged city owner's neck, and then dragged him from the seat with force.

"Bold!"

The samurai who reacted quickly drew their swords and rushed forward, but no matter how fast they were, they couldn't be faster than Uchiha Madara behind Yuan.Although he didn't know why A Yuan would do this, he would not let other people hurt her, so these attacking warriors followed in the footsteps of the previous attendant and were all sent flying.

No one stopped A Yuan, so she could grab the city lord by the neck and drag him off the seat as she wanted, dragged him a few steps like carrying a big package, and then pressed the man head down on the bed. on the ground.

At first she didn't want to do this, but just now, the boiling irritability finally broke through the limit, allowing her body to move by itself.

And there is also a faint sense of 'as it should be' for granted.

A mere... dare to show off in front of her?

"City Lord!"

The retainers and attendants who couldn't make it through panicked.

"Quick, hurry up and ask the young city lord to come over!"

They couldn't control this woman who suddenly went crazy, and they could only yell to invite someone who could make the decision.Although the main body of the young city is weak and sick, as long as he is the owner of the young city, he is the master of the city.

The city lord who was suddenly attacked naturally struggled.

But as he struggled, something strange also emerged.

Even though someone grabbed his neck ferociously and pressed him to the ground, the most violent part of his struggle was only his head.The limbs that were supposed to be the most vigorous only twitched slightly, and the movements were so weak that people even wondered if there was something wrong with his limbs.

After a while, not to mention the body, even the movement of the head became weak.

"...Your Highness?"

Seeing that Ayuan has been maintaining this posture, Fujimaru Tatsuka cautiously approached and whispered.

A Yuan's eyelashes trembled, and the statue-like indifference on his face melted.

"what."

She blinked, but didn't let go of her hand immediately.

Seeing that His Highness the City Lord had returned to his original appearance, Fujimaru Tateka breathed a sigh of relief and continued to persuade: "Let go, if you don't let go, the City Lord is going to die."

His Royal Highness the City Lord just now is really scary - not because of how ferocious she is, but because of the coercion emanating from her, the heavy coercion makes one's chest stuffy and hard to breathe.

"No, he can't die."

A Yuan didn't know why she was so sure.

Then, as if to confirm her words, the head of the middle-aged city lord, who was not moving much at first, suddenly shook at 90° against common sense.Then, an even more horrifying scene happened.

Below the city lord's ears, many arthropod feet grew out.

The feet that appeared suddenly struggled hard, causing the face of His Highness the City Lord to turn 180 degrees. The expressionless haggard face appeared in front of everyone in this way, and those struggling feet finally fell. When he got to the ground, he started to crawl forward vigorously, and the head of the castellan seemed to be torn off from his neck.

By this time, of course people noticed that something was wrong.

Leaving aside those feet, it is absolutely impossible for a normal person's head to turn 180 degrees to face the back.

Seeing this weird phenomenon, Uchiha Madara naturally wouldn't allow Yuan to stay where he was, and he pulled him back with a clever effort.And almost at the moment when he pulled the man back, the piercing sound of drawing the sword accompanied by the light of the knife stabbed at the city lord in front of him. The feet that struggled more violently finally pulled the city lord's head off his neck this time.Only a few thread-like things are still connected together.

Only then did people realize that it was not a head at all, but a spider with a human face.

After the human-faced spider struggled a few times under the tip of the knife, it stopped moving, but the emaciated human face on its back hardly changed.

"Less, less city lord!"

A retainer called out the identity of the person who came.

This is a pale and thin young man. His slightly curly long hair is casually scattered behind him, but it doesn't make him look feminine. On the contrary, he has a bookish look that is rare in this era.It's like the kind of weak and beautiful young people who only appear by the lakeside of libraries and universities.

However, it was such a frail young man who stabbed the knife neatly with a murder weapon in his hand.

"...Probably the monster ate the city lord and replaced him." The frail young man let go of the handle of the knife, and there was a trace of guilt on his handsome and sickly face, "I never found out that I was wrong."

Then, without waiting for A Yuan's response, he continued talking on his own.

"The monsters who have been attacking during this period of time are probably also the work of this human-faced spider. Maybe they want to cooperate with the outside world and turn this place into their lair. Now that he is dead, there should be no more monsters coming."

After speaking to his retainers, he turned his head to look at A Yuan and his party, a smile appeared on his handsome and pale face: "You are the exorcist who received my request for help, right? I am the young master of this city. Master sees Yindao, thank you for helping us find the truth, and please take a good rest here, sorry that the city lord's mansion will be very busy because of the funeral, and when all this is over, I will definitely give corresponding support remuneration."

After he finished speaking, he signaled the attendants on the left and right to come forward and take them to the room to rest, and then let other retainers and warriors come forward to carry away the body of the city lord.

"It's better to burn the monster's body."

When leaving, A Yuan suddenly said something.

"……I see."

The young man who claimed to be a slasher paused, and replied without any ups and downs.

"Go and rest, please."

So a group of people followed the attendants and prepared to leave. The girls walked by without any special ones, while Inuyasha and Mitreya who stayed behind paused unconsciously for a moment when they passed by him.

It seems that they are just weak human beings, but their instincts are screaming 'dangerous'.

It's like if they don't pay attention to it and miss something, they will regret it.

"That young city lord is quite interesting."

After leaving the place where the crowd gathered, A Yuan suddenly touched his chin and said this.

"Ok?"

Hearing her words, Higurashi Kagome couldn't help casting a puzzled look.

"is there a problem?"

Other than being good-looking and having this kind of misfortune, there seems to be nothing special...?

"This is a big problem."

A Yuan lowered his eyes and touched the position of his chest.

——The strange sense of anxiety that had been silenced for some reason reappeared after he appeared.
