Tilea’s Worries

Episode Five: Jessica and the King's Capital Raid

No, my consciousness is already flying.

Oh, I'm dying...

Ugh, my consciousness goes away. I don't have the strength or strength to resist anymore. It curses the Fate God to die in the hands of his best friend at the end.

It was really the worst day ever. He was attacked by Dr. Gail, who became a vampire (vampire), encountered a demon clan he only knew about in his heritage, and the extreme is about to be killed by his best friend right now.

Until two days ago, we had such fun laughing at each other.

Yet......

My best friend stared at me with a grudging glance, and I was hit many times with cold words that froze my spine. Just remembering makes my chest tight and sad.

I don't care anymore. I never felt this sad again.

I gave up half my life and was about to go up the stairs to death like this...

"Gu Hu!"

Suddenly, Edim screamed. Nature and the power of the hand that was strangling me also loose.

"Keho, keho, keho... ha, ha, ha"

I was selflessly obsessed and took oxygen into my body.

What the hell happened?

When I nodded my eyes open, Edim was out of balance and down. If you look closely, a gavel hits Edim's flank. It's a big hammer for the Great Warcraft. If Edim had been more than just a vampire, his ribs would have been shattered.

"I said, damn it!

Edim shook off the hammer and stood up at ease.

"Shit, looks like someone's got backup."

"Oh, mah."

"Jessica, I'm gonna kill you."

When Edim unleashed the curse, he left the scene.

Who the hell helped you?

I desperately endure the exhaustion (puffiness) that makes me almost unconscious and look around. And I noticed the silhouette approaching me.

"Li...... squirrel?

Definitely. There was a strong and reliable presence there that I admired.

Oh, Lilith, you helped me again.

Remi Lilith. Sophomore at Alkudas School of Magic. Rumored to be a billed defect, no one in school knows it either. At first, I thought I was a little scared, too. My impression of her when she was in the same class was a lonely person. Even when everyone was blooming in chatter, only one person did not speak to anyone and wrapped around an aura that was difficult to get close to.

But......

One day, you helped me get involved in a case. You just helped me cry, in return, but only at risk.

It was a blurry tone, but I could see you were worried about me. When I noticed that hidden gentle side of her, my eyes on her changed. When they realized it, they were always chasing with their eyes.

Lilith is here. That's all the courage I get. Until earlier, there was no longer a feeling of self-infliction, and the vitality to live was created.

Lilith had just reached out to me to get up when she picked up the hammer that was beside her.

"Look, stand up"

"Oh, thank you"

"It's dangerous here. Get out of here now!

"So, but Edim..."

"Forget it. That's not your best friend anymore."

Lilith's chest hurts when she says she's my best friend. Earlier Edim's words shook my head. My best friend and I really hated each other just because I thought we were.

"Oh, yeah. I don't think I was originally considered my best friend."

"... vampirization increases negative feelings in humans and only allows them to have hate. So I don't know what they said, but don't worry about it."

"Oh, really?

"Yeah, well, at least as far as I can tell, you guys were best friends."

"Thanks, Lilith."

"Hmm."

Lilith turns that way like she's lit. You cheered me up, didn't you? As gentle as ever.

"Thank you so much. If Lilith hadn't come, I would have been killed."

"Damn, I just happened to notice something good."

"Yan, 'cause I'm mean. I'm not really going back to the dorm. Jessica was worried about you looking around."

"Become!? Vera, I'm sorry. Something extra..."

Who, and how do you like that?

I didn't realize earlier, but both Lilith and Mr. Vera are dressed unfamiliar. It doesn't belong to the King's capital's security forces, if not the school's uniform. Strongly speaking, it resembles church priestly clothing. It's a simple, long piece of clothing unified in black.

Are you a church official?

No, Lilith and Mr. Vera both have big weapons. Lilith is a hammer, and Mr. Vera is a big spear. So for a non-war church official it feels like a chig hug.

Who is Mr. Vera?

She is an adult woman holding a large spear lightly, dressed in a priestly costume, and with a beautiful face. It's called the gap, it's called the suspicion, it's like Mr. Tyrea.

Why is Lilith with someone like that?

"Oh, that Lilith..."

"And then we need them to protect us!

Turning around, my colleagues from the school are coming this way.

"Oh, where are you going?

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you that."

"And tell them. Make the evacuation of the citizens a priority and don't fight."

"Huh? What?

"A vampired ex-human would still be fine. But don't lay a hand on the Demons."

"That's right. If there is a demon clan, run. Because you're out of your hands."

That's what Mr. Vera and Lilith advise me. Indeed, I felt the horrors of the Demon Clan so much that I didn't like it. It was like I couldn't stand my teeth. Sometimes I'm immature, but I've been shown a fundamental level of difference.

Yeah, you two are right. I think it's heavy on the school people against the Demons.

"Okay."

"The cake is a cake shop. The Demon Clan is to be entrusted to the Demonic Five Mans Star (Degarabia), a group of experts in our Demonic Crusade."

"Demonic Extinction Pentagram (Degarabia)?"

"Hey, you talk too much!

"Not so good."

"Damn, you're always nasty - well, fine. Anyway, Jessica, watch out for the Demons!

"Bye, Jessica."

Lilith and Mr. Vella left a throwaway line and disappeared into the darkness.

The Demonic Extinction Pentagram (Degarabia)...

A group of demonic crusaders?

I didn't know such an institution existed in the King's Capital.

Besides, Lilith is that member?

Running through my head as my thoughts wander.

Oh, no. Fatigue prevents me from turning my head well. As I accidentally sat down on the spot, the chairman of the Mvoderi student rushed me.

"Nicole, are you okay?

"Chairman, su, excuse me"

"Fine. Let's get out of here. I'm laying a line ahead."

"Yes, sir"

"Hmm? You seem a lot debilitated. Drink this."

"Is that a potion?

"Oh, there's only a third left. Mix it with herbs."

Receive potions and herbs from the chairman. First, tear a couple of pieces of the herb into your mouth and snort it up with the potion and drink it out.

"Pugh."

to, bitter!

Mixing potions had resulted in an extraordinary increase in herbal bitterness.

Ugh, my tongue is paralyzed.

But it worked great. I can see the magic rushing all over my body. That's the potion King's Capital prides itself on. Not to the point of full health, but I was able to recover eighty or ninety percent. It is also possible to run. I'll be on my way with the chairman right away.

And I wonder what everyone else is doing?

I just got comfortable and asked the chairman.

"What the hell happened?

"It's a demonic invasion."

I knew it was the Demons, like Lilith and the others said. It wasn't just Arquene. I can't believe there's still such a horrible guy...

"So what about the interception?

"The majority of Wang Du's interception systems are not functioning. The damage is spreading everywhere."

"Oh, no..."

"They did it. We've invaded for the absence of leading adventurers, including the captain of the security forces, Lady Remilia."

"So you don't have Mr. Myra or Mr. Robin?

"Oh, yes, I am."

Instead of Lady Remilia, I can't believe the two signs of the guild with two names are not even present......

There are not two A-rank adventurers in the security forces captain. Declining power is obvious. I can't fight satisfactorily in this state.

"How could you do this?

"Master Remilia has been tracking suspects since yesterday. The famous adventurer is now outside the Wang capital"

"Is it outside the king's capital?

"Look, there was a rumor going around a while ago that there would be demons on the Berga Plains, right?

I know about it. Master Remilia sensed a suspicious swirl of magic and several times went to the Berga Plains. However, I heard that I was unable to confirm the investigation and went straight into the labyrinth.

"I heard the investigation didn't confirm it."

"Yeah, but the suspicion remained. I thought there might be something in the Berga Plains."

When I heard that Master Remilia had indeed embarked on the investigation herself, everyone was more interested in the Berga Plains.

"In the meantime, this time an unconfirmed great warcraft appeared who would complain that he had gone out on the Berga Plains"

"Right! If you're an adventurer, you want to make sure it's credible."

"Oh, the famous adventurers have crusaded."

"But that was just a bunch of demon dogs, wasn't it? Wasn't the crusade over soon?

"Yeah, it was a demon dog, but it's not just (...) of. An exceptionally different fierce demon dog than a guild designated demon dog, he began his expedition many times. As a result, more and more adventurers have spilled out of the King's capital."

"A vortex of suspicious magic, the emergence of fierce demon dogs, and this King's Capital raid. Is there such a coincidence?

"Maybe all this series of incidents is a positive move by the Demons. We were cleverly lured away so that our true purpose could not be to attack the King's capital."

Oh, my God! There are no famous adventurers or security forces. It is a third-rate adventurer to apprentice candidates in the security forces. This is about a magic school then. Almost no different from the U.N. crowd. I don't think I can fight the Demons as advised by Lilith and the others.

"Then you have little power in the king's capital! You can't fight demons."

"I know. But come on, you can't keep your hands around me."

"But I heard that an institution called the Demonic Five Mans Star (Degarabia) is embarking on a demonic crusade."

"The Five Magnificent Stars"? Never heard of them.

"Huh? Oh, no, I knew you were right. What the hell is Lilith..."

"Anyway, I'm sending out an expedition to Master Remilia. Until Lady Remilia returns, we at the Alkudas School of Magic must defend the King's capital."

The chairman returns to the formation and brings together the students from the school. I waited at a point three kilometers behind the main unit and was instructed to repel the vampires when they approached me.
