My Skills Are Too Strong to Be a Heroine

Tough Forest ⑤ Inquisition of heresy times

Koyuan honestly responded to the appeal of the male knight about 3 seismic intensity, saying, "Let me keep the extremely dangerous magic sword." Koyuan confiscated the sacred sword "Caliban."

And we were both taken to the city, tied up with ropes, and intimidated by a knight lady with a slender sword from behind. As the Devil's minion (provisional).

He was taken to vigilante headquarters, a small room like an interrogation room in the back of the building.

Surrounded by interesting walls and floors, a pair of simple chairs and desks face the back wall. The tiny high window was fitted with an iron lattice, and the door that just came through was locked double or triple.

As we stood in the middle of the room, the knight of the man sat down on his chair with his feet together and took off his heavy silver helmet.

I wonder if the oxygen inside is thin, and while exhaling for a long time, the person closed his eyes and looked at us gently with open eyes.

Even so, I was surprised that I was younger than I expected because I was a knight. I'm new to adulthood, maybe in my teenage years.

Silver hair with a good reflection of armor is slightly stretched on the forehead with sweat, and sharp eyes narrowed like jewels under it are deep blue. There was a sense of elegance in the neat and straightforward appearance, and the exotic flavor was combined as if it were some kind of prince.

Wait for it, and the knight lady behind you also takes off her helmet and drops it on the floor.

I wonder how it fits, the long, light light light blue hair that was sided up flows into the air as she shakes her neck. It looks like pure water. If I were you, I'd be like a blown bird's nest.

The sliced eyes are blue with the knight of the man, but while there is something passionate over there, this is a calm, no ruthless atmosphere.

The lips tightened to a tall nose and the shape of every part perfectly arranged gave the impression of being an intelligent beauty. Age seems to be two or three years higher than a man's knight.

"Well, it's a lamentable story that the first job assigned here is to interrogate children, but let's do everything we can to be knights. Let's start with a name."

"... I think I should name myself first before I ask someone's name."

Even when deprived of his weapon and physical freedom, the knight answers with his arms tied on the desk with a faint look, but with no objection to his claim.

"... I see. I'm sorry. I'm a member of the Knights of the Royal Capital 1st Army, and I'm currently the head of the Khash Am branch. It's Gustave Arnault. Call him whatever you want."

Mr. Gus Tai

"Kh... why do you call me whatever you want...?!

Unfortunately, Mr. Gustav held his head with both hands and was angry at me because I thought he had given me a good nickname.

"My name is Rudrake Liechtenstein and I work with Captain Gustave. Put down the stranger after that."

"Even if I told you to hold a thin sword so that you can pierce it at any time..."

While sweating cold at the introduction of the Knight Woman from behind, we also respond with courtesy.

"Far and farther."

Um, it's Aria Amamiya, thank you very much.

"... that's a strange name. More and more suspicious."

Mr. Gustav looks at us with a very suspicious half-eye and looks up from the bottom.

"Now let's ask Takatoo and Amamiya a straightforward question. Who are you? If you're not a demon, what's the proof?

I swallowed my mouth and spit. That's a lot of pressure, and if I say the right thing, I can hold your breath right away, Mr. Ludlake in the back.

However, Takao was not afraid at all and answered the question from the front with perseverance.

"If you don't believe me, I can't help it, but as I just said, I'm here to defeat the Demon King from a different world. The evidence is somewhat scarce, but Amamiya-san's clothes are probably not found anywhere in the world.

There is no evidence that it is not a demonic race... because we still don't know what it is.

I apologize for answering the question, but what kind of evidence is there of a demonic race?

Mr Gustav opened his eyes slightly and looked at Takao.

Well, even if you can't prove that you're not a demon, if you can't prove that you're a demon, that proves that you're not a demon.

I don't know, but maybe it was mathematical thinking, and that's Takao, and I applauded her with my heart.

Mr Gustav pressed his mouth against it and told it slightly later.

"... I see. I'm sure it's unfamiliar clothing, but it's hard to convince the people who came from there. But evidence of being a demon tribe... hate and we still don't know much about them. The only certainty is that they possess a destructive capability beyond their knowledge. And, without exception, it's extremely cruel and heartless."

When I heard that, I frowned...

The ability to destroy beyond our knowledge… has just been well proven.

The other thing, that you don't have a human heart, is that you probably can't prove it ~

Because no matter how bad you are, you can play a good person.

But Takao smiled at Mr. Gustav's valve for the first time and shook his shoulders in a funny way.

Really? I was relieved to hear that. "

"... what do you mean? Your disadvantage is nothing..."

At that time, the sound of a severely locked door pounding through the room was heard.

"Excuse me, Knight Commander, may I have a word with you?"

"What? I can't leave my seat right now. I'm sorry, but later..."

"No, I don't have time to say such a long thing... wow, don't hurt me with an iron frying pan!!

Apparently, the hallway became noisy, and Mr. Ludlake sighed and opened the lid of the small window of the door and looked outside.

And then...

"... is that someone you know?

Huh?

I was prompted by Mr. Ludlake, who lowered his eyebrows in trouble. He stretched out and looked at the hallway through the window.

The big eyes that were peeking out of the hallway matched the bowl.

"Gah!?

"Ah! Aria, right? I'm glad you're okay!

The smiling, thinning eyes, and the voice are definitely...

"Eh, Elysica!? What are you doing here?"

"I heard that Aria and the others had become a demon clan, so I came in a hurry. I can't prove it!

... Knight of King's Landing, listen to me. It'll be over soon. "

Ludrake looks back at Güsta with an honest Elysica voice, and Güsta breathes when he shakes his head in pain.

"... it's in the name of a knight to silence citizens. Allow me to enter as a witness. Ludo, open it."

When Güsta raised his hand lightly, Ludrake quickly unlocked the door and Erysica jumped into the room.

The breath was cut off, and the frying pan with a depression in the middle was somehow held in his hand.

Elisica looked ahead and said, "Don't be afraid to confront Mr. Gustav."

"My name is Elysica Kirsch, the daughter of José Kirsch, the owner of Edelweiss Inn. I beg your pardon, Knight.... but this one can't be a demon!

Aria helped me without a clue when I was about to be stolen by a villain! Don't ask for anything in return! Can the Devil do that? If you could, what would you do it for?

"... Elysica"

"And...."

Elysica gripped the frying pan tightly in front of her chest, closed her eyes to pray, and then said with a passing voice.

"... Aria says that if you cook it, it will be a fire, if you peel the skin, the vegetables will disappear, and if you injure yourself and clean it, it will be more messy. If you ask for help in accounting, I will be fine and I will get the wrong number in double digits!

Is it possible for a cunning, intelligent demon to do that!? No, I can't!! It's a gift of nature!!

After saying it forcefully, the silence enveloped the interrogation room.

By the time Elysica's breath settled, Takao finally crouched down on the spot and shook his shoulders. Too much laughter. Even the calm Ludlake is holding his mouth against his face.

Speaking of which, it seems that Mr. Gustav's eyes looked like a dish and he was paranoid, and for a while he was blurry refuting Elisica's testimony.

Eventually, when I exhaled my biggest breath today, I fell down on my desk and shook my hand.

"... okay. No, I don't know anything, but I know you're not a demon for now."

"Hmm... how do you know now!?

It might be an act, but I still have the possibility that I might be cunning, intelligent, and able to go through a trick!?

I don't think so ~

"I don't think so."

"I don't think so.

"I don't think so...."

"I mixed up that sense of unity... no, I can't, can I mix it!!

Ok, that's what you did up to Takao....!

Although we desperately protested, the opinions of the audience were no longer unanimous. Thus, although we were still alerted to suspicious existence, for the time being, the suspicions of the Demons were resolved, and the ropes were safely released.

But why, I'm not happy at all, I feel like I won the game and lost the match...

When Takao told me "thank you", it was easy for me to forget everything and laugh.
