In this neighborhood not far from the city hall, in this restaurant that had long since been deserted, a certain troubled little girl was sitting at the counter, enjoying her meal as if there was no one around.
In fact, there is really no one else here now, at least, no one alive for the time being.
Unlike the relatively clean, but slightly messy restaurant, at this time, the streets outside were in a mess, with many corpses lying on the road. The citizens, men, women, old and young, lay motionless in a pool of blood. .
"..."
(｡◝～◜｡)Chew!
Annie didn't care about the situation outside and just ate by herself.
Those outside, those innocent residents of Priestela, had been killed and abandoned there by the followers of the Witch Cult before she came here.
In addition to those innocent people, there are also many traces of battles and the bodies and blood of a few Witch Cult followers outside, that is, the ones wrapped in dark red robes.
Those were all the bad guys who jumped out and wanted to attack Anne right after she came here. They were unlucky. It was not good who they attacked, but they chose to attack her, the most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most bad person they were who jumped out to attack her right after Anne came here. The most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most powerful arcane master, and then...
Then there is nothing more!
One of their teams was knocked to the ground by her almost instantly, and could no longer stand up to do evil. Some of them were directly burned to ashes, and the traces of the battle were the only pitiful proof of their existence.
"..."
(￣～￣)
If you look out the window in the distance, you will easily find that at this time, the entire Watergate City of Priestela is filled with smoke, fire, and the sound of shouting and killing.
Compared to the lively scenes in the four equal parts of the city outside, the city that was first attacked, not far from the city hall, seemed much quieter.
After all, the Witch Cult was the first to attack here, and the residents, officials and soldiers who originally lived here were either killed or fled to other places. So now, in addition to a large number of corpses, broken streets and still... I don't know how many there are, let alone the Witch Cult members who are lurking in some dark corner, there is nothing left.
So far, the situation in Watergate City Priestela is still very tragic. The people of the Witch Cult have obviously planned this for a long time. Without the efforts of Emilia and others, the city must have fallen by now.
However, even with the efforts of Emilia and other candidates for the throne, it seems that they are of little use. In Anne's view, without her or her people intervening, the fall or destruction of this place is already doomed. Yes, even if those who are acting separately can gain advantages in some places, there will not be any big changes.
(Respected young master, I have just made some statistics. So far, the number of casualties in the Watergate City Priestela under the attacks of the Witch Cult followers has exceeded 20,000. Are you sure you want to help and save them? Can they all be rescued?
(ಠ㉨ಠ)
——While Tibbs reported, he quietly paid attention to the expression on the face and the truest thoughts of his heartless and miserable little master. )
"Rescued?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"I don't know how to save him!"
(͒˶´⚇`˵)͒
"Tibbers, you are so stupid. If someone really wanted to help, how could he come here secretly?"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
"Besides, I'm not familiar with them, so why should I save them?"
(′～`●)
As she spoke, Annie glanced at the streets and the corpses outside.
But she was just looking at it, but that didn't stop her from continuing to sit at the counter in the restaurant, swaying her short white legs, and eating delicious food with relish that she no longer had to pay for.
It could be seen that the people in this store were running in such a hurry that they had no time to pack up many things, but this was an advantage for her.
"snort!"
o(´^｀)o
"They have to solve their own affairs by themselves, and we can't let them develop the habit of dependence!"
♪~(′∇`*)
Anne is not a noble, nor an official, nor is she a boring candidate for the throne, nor is she the lord of this territory. Therefore, she has no obligation or responsibility to protect this place. That is something that others should take care of. As long as she doesn't have to worry about things, she can just eat, drink and have fun.
Of course, when she encounters them, she might help and eliminate those bad-ass Witch Cult members who are burning, killing, and looting, but that is already the greatest degree of assistance. If you want her to do more, then It's obviously impossible.
(Then... Dear little master, what do you mean, just ignore it and let the situation here continue to deteriorate?
゛('㉨')?
——Obviously, Tibbers is a little reluctant to believe it. After all, he knows his bad little master very well, and duplicity is also one of her tsundere attributes. )
"Anyway!"
₍₍(̨̡‾ᗣ‾)̧̢₎₎
"Tibbers, I will definitely not take action this time."
(ʃƪ˘³˘)
Although helping or something, it is indeed very simple for Anne, it is just a thought?
but……
This time, she said she wouldn't take action and no one tried to persuade her!
Moreover, she has also seen that so many people have died. If she really doesn't care about helping, then she will definitely need to pull all those people up, but in that case, it will definitely cause huge turmoil in the world. , when the time comes, all kinds of troublesome things will definitely happen again like before, and she feels a little headache just thinking about it.
Sometimes, being too powerful can be a problem!
For example, if she is not careful, she will ruin other people's world, and then, in the end, she will have to fix it herself. She is actually very tired of that kind of messy things. .
So, this time she just wanted to hide away, eat, drink and have fun, and then watch others working hard to save the world. That would actually be good, at least it would be easier.
(…)
(●￣㉨￣●)
"Eh?"
∑(´△｀)? !
At this time, Annie, who was eating and chatting randomly with her little bear, seemed to notice something coming, and suddenly turned her head to look out the window at the end of the quiet street.
Then soon, she saw: her twin maid sisters, the little sister Rem, appeared there carrying a chain meteor hammer, and walked towards this side step by step.
At this time, the opponent's black maid skirt, white apron and hat, and even her cheeks were all covered with dazzling blood stains, and the thorny iron ball connected to the iron chain was dripping towards the ground. There was blood dripping, and there were even some sticky unknown objects hanging between the spikes?
You don’t need to guess too much to know that not long ago, Rem must have had a bloody battle with the followers of the Witch Cult, and there were more than one battle!
What made Anne somewhat reassured was that there were no wounds on the other party's body, so those terrible blood stains and some unknown substances must not belong to Rem.
"here……"
The light in this place was very good, coupled with the traces of battles outside and the corpses of Witch Cult believers, Rem, who immediately became alert, quickly spotted someone who was eating in a restaurant without paying any attention to it. A bad little girl is suffering in this city.
"ah!"
"Master, master?!"
Rem exclaimed, and after the surprise, those big blue eyes were filled with the joy of relief.
"Hi~!"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
"Rem, come on, I'm here!"
(*^▽^*)
Anne had no intention of avoiding the other party. After seeing that Rem had also noticed her, she raised her hand to wave to the other party.
(…)
(●￣㉨￣●)
"..."
"Owner!"
"Great, I finally found it..."
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Soon, Rem opened the door and walked quickly into the empty restaurant, and threw the chain meteor hammer in his hand to the ground.
"Uh-huh!"
(∩▽∩)
Seeing Rem's panting, flushed face, and wretched appearance, it was not difficult for Anne to judge that the other party must have traveled a lot, and at the same time, he must have fought with many members of the Witch Cult.
"By the way, Rem, you look very tired. Do you need something to eat?"
~(＾◇^)
After looking at the other person up and down, Annie did not ask the other person what was going on. She just took out a tray from the counter very considerately and handed the food that was already prepared and still warm to the table. In front of Rem, who was sweating profusely and bloody.
Anne didn't want to ask, because she didn't care about those things at all. She just wanted to wait to see the results and see if the guys in Emilia could handle this little trouble?
"Um……"
"Thank you, Master."
Rem was not very polite, and directly reached out to take it. Then, regardless of his condition, he sat directly at an empty table next to him and started eating it with big mouthfuls.
In order to find a certain bad little master, she had just run wildly for nearly twenty minutes, ran for more than a dozen streets, and fought more than ten battles with hundreds of Witch Cult members, killing and injuring dozens of enemies. , and finally found this place by following the traces and smells.
She is indeed a little tired now and needs to eat something to replenish her strength and energy.
"Owner……"
"you……"
"Aren't you going to City Hall?"
Finally, after taking a few big bites and drinking a large glass of delicious soup made of who knows what, Rem, who had regained his composure, spoke.
In fact, she could tell when she separated from Emilia and her sister Ram. Their master Anne seemed to be deliberately avoiding Emilia and not going to the city hall. As for what the reason was, , she didn’t know.
"town Hall?"
(・_・)
"What are you going there for?"
(´◔‸◔`)
"Aren't there already Emilia and Ram over there?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
Frowning, Anne said matter-of-factly, not minding the expression on Rem's face that gradually turned into a bit of shock and confusion.
"Don't worry, they are very optimistic about them, so there will definitely be no problem!"
↜(ψ｀▽′)o
Although she was very impatient, Annie thought about it and still had to reluctantly explain it to Rem.
"that……"
"Master, you are very confident in Lady Emilia's strength, right?"
"Do you think that the Priest of Lust, Capella Emeralda Lugnica, and the Witch Cult members entrenched in the city hall will definitely not be her opponents?"
After frowning and thinking for a while, Rem suddenly put down the food in his hand and blinked his big blue eyes and asked in confirmation.
Rem also remembered it. It is said that many months ago, Lady Emilia seemed to have undergone some kind of trial in the forbidden area in the holy domain. In the end, she not only successfully passed all the tests, but also made the members of the holy domain successful. The world disappeared and everyone was rescued, and his own strength was greatly improved?
If that's the case, maybe Lady Emilia can complete the task of retaking the city hall on her own even without the assistance of her master, and then let the other candidates for the throne treat her differently?
"strength?"
く(＾_・)ゝ
"It's impossible. She alone can't beat the hot Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult!"
ε=(´ο｀*)))Alas
"!!"
"That……"
"What about Sister Ram?"
Rem was startled, then stood up quickly, and his tone became a little confused.
"Hmm..."
(^～^;)ゞ
"Ram probably won't be able to do it either, but doesn't Ram still have that octopus monster as his helper? So, there must be no big problem for the two of them to attack the city hall!"
(=^▽^=)
This may be the real reason why Annie doesn't want to join in the fun.
Anyway, in her opinion, it was a sure win, and it would be the same with or without her, so she didn't want to waste time joining in that kind of boring fun!
However, there would definitely be no major problems, but she couldn't guarantee whether there would be minor problems.
"!!"
"Is it Lord N'Zoth?"
"ah!"
"Master, Rem seems to understand..."
Rem nodded and remembered that her sister Ram indeed had the habit of carrying Mr. Nzos with her. Therefore, she who was a little overwhelmed just now finally felt relieved and sat down again. Sitting on the chair next to the table, he was ready to eat more food to replenish his strength.
"If that's the case..."
"That master!"
"This time, the battle here in Watergate City Priestela must be a sure thing, right?"
"Does that mean we're going to win soon?"
Since Lady Emilia and Sister Ram’s attack on the city hall is a sure-win situation, then as long as Crusch, Felt, Priscilla, and Lady Anastasia’s attacks on the four water gates go smoothly, , I think it won’t take long for the battle in the city to end, and by then, victory will definitely belong to their side.
Anyway, that’s what Rem thinks!
"Well..."
(′～`●)
"Not necessarily!"
(｡•̀ꌂ-)✧
However, what made Rem feel a little frightened was that after thinking about it for a while, which of their terrible masters actually gave her an uncertain answer?
…
And while Annie and Rem were eating in the restaurant in that quiet neighborhood, District 4 of Pratunam City, which is the southwest district, was wearing a gorgeous red dress and bright orange. The 'Blood Bride' Priscilla Balière, who had her long hair pinned back with a hairpin and her breasts so plump that she could hold a folding fan upright between her breasts, was already wearing his helmeted knight Aldibalan. Together with some mercenaries supported by the Hexin Chamber of Commerce, they fought to the water gate control tower in the south.
Along the way, whether it was Priscilla Balière or her knight Aldibalan, their attacks were very sharp and bloody!
None of the Witch Cult members who were encountered by her on the road or who dared to run out to stop her could leave alive. They were either blown into pieces by Yang magic on the spot or had their heads chopped off by the helmeted knight with a knife.
"snort!"
"A bunch of ragtag people are simply vulnerable!"
"Al, don't block the road, or I'll blow you up too!"
"Well?"
"Who's over there?"
"get out!!"
boom! !
Finally, under the water gate control tower in the south, after first killing a group of Witch Cult members guarding the gate, Priscilla Balière discovered an anomaly before she could prepare to enter the tower and screamed, exploding a whole body. A strange man covered in bandages, wearing a dark red robe, with long and twisted golden chains wrapped around his hands, with only his left eye and lips exposed.
"careful!"
"She should be the Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult who has the power of emotional connection and harm sharing that Emilia said!"
Seeing the coming person, the helmeted knight Aldibalan exclaimed, rushed forward and held a knife in front of the master Priscilla he served.
"Get away!"
"Of course I know who she is!!"
However, what caught Helmet Knight Aldibalan off guard was that as soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked aside by Priscilla.
"Tsk tsk!"
"This is really an 'arrogant' approach..."
"I have been observing secretly. Could it be that you are the arrogant Chief of Crime..."
"??"
The bandage weirdo just had time to speak, and was not ready to say a few more words to tease the woman in fine clothes who she had secretly observed acting very arrogant and arrogant during the whole call, nor was she able to secretly use her power to influence the people present. Everyone was shocked to see:
The other party suddenly pulled out a dazzling Yang Sword from the void, and then slashed directly towards her with one strike?
"!!"
"W-what?!"
Since he had been inexplicably injured by his own power not long ago, the current [Wrath] person in charge of the Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult was in such a poor physical condition that he had no time to react or dodge, and was instantly hit by the Yang Sword. The light and sword light were completely submerged in it.
☼
"go to hell!!!"
In the dazzling sword light that overtook everyone and seemed to drown the world, an arrogant scream came from Priscilla Balière.
