The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

Just when the hyenas were about to catch up with the Holy Maiden of Light, suddenly a figure flashed out of the bushes in front of them.

"Go away!"

The hyena, who didn't want to cause trouble, said so intimidatingly.

And the figure that appeared suddenly, seemed to be really frightened, shrank back timidly and stepped aside.

Until, the hyena passed by the side of this figure...

boom.

A hyena in the gallop was thrown from behind with a throwing object, rolled on the ground for two weeks, and then fell to the ground.

And not far behind the hyena, the silver-haired boy who had been cowering before showed a sly smile.

Volume 32: Chapter [-], Butterflies

Deep in the forest to the northwest of the mansion.

Originally, a hollow area appeared in the dense forest.

The deep pits, the scorched ground, and the surrounding trees that have been felled in large numbers all indicate that a fierce battle has just been fought here.

And at the edge of the battlefield, the real protagonist's partner Seid wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.

The big box he had been carrying on his back was now untied.Moreover, the large magic cannon that was originally lying in the box was now placed on the edge of the battlefield.

The ground that seemed to be smashed by a meteorite was the scene created by Seid and his beloved magic cannon.

As for the real protagonist Nero, he is now slowly retracting the holy sword, which has cut down dozens of trees with one strike, back into its sheath.

Two members of the Scourge Church were lying on the messy battlefield at this moment, barely holding their breath.

They were defeated.

As for how they were defeated, they themselves couldn't tell.

In short, the two people who suddenly hindered their pursuit of the Holy Maiden of Light were simply two monsters.

The other party only took one blow each, and they were already thankful that they were still alive.

The two sides are not at the same level at all.

And a little farther away, Meluetta, who was hiding behind the tree, stared at Seid and Nero in a daze, and easily subdued the nightmare-like "hyena" in her mind.

So, are all adventurers so powerful?

Looking at the more individual outfits of the two of them, a strange misunderstanding arose in Melueita's heart.

Seid and Nero skillfully cleaned the battlefield, took out a rope from the package to tie the two members of the Church of Scourge together, and cast their gazes in the direction of Melueita.

After struggling for a while, Melueta came out from behind the tree.

"Thank you very much for your rescue. If it weren't for you, I should be in danger now."

As early as when the two were fighting with the members of the Scourge Church, Melueita had already closed her eyes, and had a rough understanding of their mental landscape.Based on the experience accumulated since she was a child, she judged that the two of them were generally not malicious people.

Since Said was far away, Melueta stood in front of Nero.

While thinking that this young man is really exactly the same as Mr. Riber and his sister's description, Melueta showed the posture of a "saint".

Seid, who was a little farther away, had a strange expression.

Because, he had seen Melueta before, screaming like a savage while running wildly in the forest.They are completely different from the dignified, elegant and inexplicably holy girl shown now.

Was it wrong before, or is it wrong now?

Seid fell into deep thought, and immediately felt bad.

It's not that Melita is bad, but...

"Ali Ubu..."

"Ok?"

Meluita had a question mark on her face, she didn't know what the boy in front of her was muttering.

Moreover, the boy deliberately turned his head away from his face, his eyes were lowered to the ground, as if he had developed a strong interest in his slightly outstretched left foot.

"Ah... this... Nero, Nero is from another area, this is the special language of his hometown."

Seid quickly ran to the side of the two, smoothing things over for Nero.

"Then, what did Mr. Nero say?"

Asked by Melueita, Nero murmured again for a while.

"Well, he's saying, lady, you're dressed like this and you're out in the middle of the night, it's really... really..."

Seid couldn't repeat Nero's rather hurtful words.

"It turned out to be mindful of this matter."

Melueita also took a little look at her outfit that had been cool for a long time, but she didn't show any shyness, and continued to speak naturally,

"If I offended Mr. Nero, I'm really sorry. I was imprisoned by the Church of Scourge before, and I was trying to escape the pursuit of the Church of Scourge just now, so I didn't have a chance to organize my clothes..."

"What? The Church of Scourge? Is that the well-known secret organization that is wanted by the kingdom?"

Before Melueita finished speaking, Seid couldn't help but yelled, and then couldn't help turning his eyes to the two "weak" hyenas who had been tied up.

Although Seid appears to be very mature and wise compared to Nero, in fact, he is just a boy who has just become a full-time adventurer from a farmer in the countryside.

And after hearing that Melueita had encountered that kind of thing, she was so embarrassed.Nero, who was still condemning the other party before, showed a shameful expression, and then began to scratch his head quickly at a speed that was afraid that his hair would not fall out.

Seeing the two people who felt strange for no reason, Melueita also tilted her head slightly,

"Two, it should be the helpers invited by Mr. Riber?"

"Mr. Riber? Who is that?"

Seid, who still did not look away from the two members of the Scourge Church, asked in puzzlement,

"It is the Earl of Campret."

After hearing Meluetta's explanation, Seid and Nero first glanced at each other, and then waved their hands in sync with laughter,

"Haha, how could we know a nobleman like the earl, lady, you really like to joke..."

"Huh? Isn't it?"

"Eh?"

For a moment, the three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously the conversation and thoughts were not on the same channel at all.

It was also at this time that Nero, who had been acting awkward all the time, accidentally met Meluetta's eyes for the first time.

next moment...

With a "whoosh" sound and a gust of wind, Nero quickly turned his head at ninety degrees.

"..."

"Ah~ah——Said, are we going to hunt down the Phantom Thief? That's right, the Phantom Thief is the Phantom Thief! I'm so busy, so I'll take a step ahead!"

It was also the first time that Nero spoke a language that she could understand in front of Meluetta. After saying this, he supported his sprained neck with one hand, and held up the holy sword in its sheath with the other, as if listening to As if there was an order to charge, she quickly stepped on her feet and fled from the front of Melueita.

"..."

"Wait, wait a minute, Nero!"

Seid looked at the back of Nero who was about to disappear, and sighed helplessly,

"Well, although Nero is a little weird, he's not a bad guy..."

"Hmm...I can see that."

Melueta, who was speechless for a long time, nodded.

"By the way, these two members of the Church of Scourge, can I take them away? Send them to the kingdom, and we can get a lot of rewards."

"Please go ahead, it was originally subdued by the two."

Naturally, Meluetta had no objection.

So, with a hearty smile, Seid dragged the two hyenas to the edge of the battlefield to pick up the packed wooden box, and then quickly followed Nero away.

It wasn't until Said's back disappeared into the darkness of the night that Melueita let out a long sigh of relief.

Originally, with Melueta's character, even Nero showed inexplicable disgust and was obviously avoiding her.But she will also stubbornly catch up, pester the other party to thank him well and report the other party's life-saving feelings until she can agree.

But even at different times, the "Camprete fire" incident still happened as usual.But Riber's various behaviors after time travel still affected the development of the plot after all.

Butterflies will never know which flapping of their wings has caused a tornado on another continent.

Therefore, Riber will never know what is the reason that led to the follow-up of "Camprete Karma", which has undergone completely different changes at this moment.

Before, when she closed her eyes, Meluetta noticed a familiar landscape in the woods approaching through her extraordinarily wide field of vision.

So, instead of chasing Nero and Said immediately, she turned around and walked in another direction.

"Sister, what are you doing..."

Beside a thick tree, Meluetta found Claire curled up.

Volume 33: Chapter [-], World Famous Paintings

When Melueita saw Claire, the pair of wings transformed by the latter had not faded away, and then covered her body like a quilt.

"elder sister--"

In front of Claire, Melueta, who had changed back to the non-saint mode, complained in a long tone,

"Since you are here, you should join me in thanking Mr. Nero and Mr. Baldhead. They saved me, so we are sincere and polite when we thank you together."

Stretching out the small model's head from the feather rings, Claire moved her lips twice, as if she wanted to say the basic point of giving others the nickname "Mr. Baldhead". .

But as always, after the sound was made, the preaching words changed,

"I'm sorry, Melueita. It's not convenient for me to appear in front of others right now. Is there no one else around?"

After Meluetta nodded, Claire raised one wing slightly.

Since Claire's iceberg has recently melted so badly, even when she was showing her current situation to her younger sister, Claire still showed a shy expression.

And following the gap in the wings, after seeing the inside, Melueita couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

"Sister, where are your clothes?"

Under the cover of the wings, Claire's body turned out to be naked.

"When I had a conflict with the Painted Night Witch before, I accidentally burned it."

"The Night Witch? Is she a witch?"

Melueta was a little surprised.

In this world, the witch is a very mysterious existence.

Rumor has it that they look no different from ordinary people in appearance, but they can wield power comparable to gods.

The most recent large-scale incident caused by the witch was that the witch, known as the "Witch of Mercy" 15 years ago, wiped the permanent neutral state of South Wistan from the map, turning it into a forbidden area where no creature could set foot. Stan Abyss.

It was also from that incident that the largest church on the mainland, the Church of All Things, set up a Witch Trial Council to hunt down and fight against some witches in the world with specialized manpower.

"Encounter such an existence, sister, you..."

"nothing."

Claire said softly,

"The power of the witch is subject to many restrictions. The paint night witch is far less powerful than imagined, so I can still escape from her. Just like now, don't I have nothing to do?"

Claire said so, but there was only about three points of truth in it, and the rest was to keep her sister from worrying.

Although, it is a fact that the Painted Night Witch is restricted, and most of her power cannot be exerted.But even so, the real owner of the mansion, Black Crow, is not Claire, who only has incomplete blessings from the gods, who can contend.

The reason why she can escape is thanks to her ability to transform into a phoenix.

Long before encountering the Painted Night Witch, she quietly hid one of her tail feathers in the distance.Then, by burning himself to death with the flames of the phoenix and being reborn from the ashes, he barely escaped from the mansion.

The consequence of doing so was that Claire paid a huge price. Even the arms that turned into wings had to go through years of cultivation before they could change back.

But no matter what, she escaped successfully, and Melueita also escaped successfully.
