The afternoon of the next day.
After eating and drinking, when Annie heard Elena talk about what happened on the roof last night, she thought it might be interesting, so she insisted on going to Claire and Lackey to ask about the situation, and wanted to know what happened to the other party. Didn't find that man-eating monster or anything.
However, to their surprise, the two of them actually saw from the condescending terrace: Claire had been bandaged all over her body and was sent to the double room of the hotel where the two of them were. Still lying motionless on one of the beds, looking half-dead?
Seeing that situation, Annie, who found it very strange, and Elena, who was horrified, of course did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly rushed to the other party's hotel and prepared to visit and inquire.
"Well?"
"Is it you?!"
However, what surprised Anne and Elena who was following Anne was that in that room were the two city guard leaders who wanted to investigate them yesterday?
Of course, the opponents are also the same two guys who fought against Claire and Elena last night.
"Very good!"
"It's Annie and..."
"Are you also in this city?"
Seeing the arrival of Annie and Elena, who were wearing gorgeous armor but were recognized at first sight, Lackey was equally surprised, and of course he cheered and greeted them as if he had found his backbone.
However, he was relatively smart, and finally held back and did not call out Elena's name directly in front of outsiders.
"Claire?"
But Elena didn't care so much.
"!!"
She first took two steps forward and saw Claire's miserable state. Then she looked at the two people who seemed to be injured. She thought Claire was hurt by them, so the anger in her heart suddenly surged. He got up, then turned to face the two people, wanting to do something.
"oh?"
"Do you know each other?"
"Ha! We are indeed in the same group!"
"I knew it!"
However, the two of them didn't pay much attention to Elena's silent threat, and they didn't take the initiative to explain. On the contrary, the somewhat wretched-looking man was very unhappy with Elena's acquaintance with Claire. Fact muttered a few words in mockery and disapproval.
"??"
(.)
"What the hell is going on?"
く(＾_)ゝ
Anne didn't care about the conflicts and grudges that were about to break out between Elena and the two guys. She just asked strangely towards the energetic young man Lackey who came up to him and almost wanted to cry.
Of course, the other party doesn't seem to be in a good condition now, a little sluggish, not too energetic, like he hasn't slept all day and night?
"She's dying!"
"We thought she was pitiful, and there were demons lurking in the cathedral, so for the sake of safety, we sent her back here first."
The wretched man saw that Anne was ignoring them both, and then he was a little dissatisfied before he explained in such a tough tone.
"??"
(゜-゜)
Anne glanced at the weird guy in confusion, then thought about it, and continued to look at Lackey who was sobbing and wiping tears, and motioned for the other person to explain quickly. After all, she was really curious.
Of course, she came here to ask just out of curiosity, and she might not be able to do other things.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"It's Claire..."
"Claire was injured by a demon when she went to the cathedral to search for traces of demons. She is still unconscious!"
"she……"
Sobbing, Lackey told intermittently what happened last night, and some of the whole story after Claire left the room.
"The thing is like this..."
"She, it was late at night when she went out..."
It turned out that late last night, Claire planned to sneak into the cathedral again at night to continue investigating the situation of the demons, and Elena had already told Anne about the incident that happened in the middle of the night. It was nothing more than those two people and Ke. Leia causes a scene on the rooftop, and then Elena shows up, allowing Leia to sneak away and continue her investigation into the cathedral.
But who would have thought that this time, Claire actually encountered the man-eating monster and had a battle with it.
The huge movement certainly attracted the attention of the cathedral guards and city guards, so of course the two officers of the city guards who were in the room rushed there immediately after hearing the news.
But the result...
Including them, the dozen or so elite soldiers they brought with them all fell down. It is not convenient to reveal how many people died, but it was tragic anyway! And Claire was seriously injured trying to protect the two of them. In the end, if more people hadn't arrived and set off a fire to scare away the monster, it would have been hard to predict what the situation would be like now.
And this is the main reason why the two city guard officers are here, and why Claire, who is a 'big sword', was not arrested.
"That is to say..."
(⊙o⊙*)
"You idiots spent the whole night smashing roofs and burning down houses. In the end, except for the loss of soldiers and generals, nothing was accomplished!"
(**;)
"Not only was the demon not caught or eliminated, but Claire was even made to look like this?!"
!!!∑(Дノ)ノ
After hearing what Lucky had said, Anne was a little surprised and summarized the matter roughly.
"this……"
After opening his mouth, Lackey didn't know what to say.
After all, he didn't follow her at the time. It was only after Claire was carried back that he learned the general story of what happened from the two city guard officers next to him, so it was hard for him to judge.
"Jie!"
"You little brat, stop talking like that!"
"Do you know how strong that monster is?"
"Her half-human, half-demon monster with a big sword has fallen, what else can we do?!"
Seeing Annie and Lackey looking at both of them, the wretched city guard officer stepped forward angrily to argue and scold.
"Cut~!"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
"It's useless, it's useless, there are so many excuses!"
()
Anne turned her face away, not wanting to argue with the other party about things that had become facts.
"hateful!"
"Who the hell are you little brat?"
"We didn't bother you yesterday, how dare you talk to us like this now?!"
Seeing Anne's performance, the wretched man was instantly furious. Then he held his breath thinking about yesterday, and immediately planned to get angry and strode over, wanting to do something to Anne.
"you……"
Fortunately, his companion reached out and held his shoulder in time.
At the same time, Elena, the little follower behind Anne who was fully armed and wearing a pair of tight and extraordinary gold-red armor that anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance, calmly took a step forward, causing him to instantly give up some unhappiness. Realistic thoughts forced me to stop and retreat in frustration.
"..."
"She is Annie..."
"Me and Claire's friend."
Unexpectedly, those two people actually had some kind of rift with Anne, and it was not the first time they met. Although I don't know what happened between the two parties, but think about Anne's ability to suppress a sword and a demon in an instant, and then Thinking about the fact that Elena was willing to act as a servant, although Lackey didn't like that wretched man named 'Siduo', but since the other party sent Claire back to him, he still carefully introduced and He gave the other party a warning.
"She's amazing, you'd better not mess with her?"
As for how amazing it is, Lackey can't say much. After all, it involves some of Claire and Elena's plans, and some things are really hard to believe unless you see them with your own eyes.
"very impressive?"
That Siduo obviously misunderstood something, thinking that when Lackey said that Anne was 'very powerful', he meant Anne's identity or status.
So, he first smiled disdainfully, and then refuted it loudly and unhappily:
"So what?"
"This is the city of Saint Rabona, and it is our territory!"
"No matter what her identity is, when she comes here, please be honest with me!"
"otherwise……"
Otherwise, he didn't say much, but his meaning was already obvious.
That's right!
Although when he saw Annie and the two on the top floor of the hotel yesterday, he already knew that the little girl's identity was not simple. Otherwise, it would be impossible to live in that place, and it would be even less possible for the old man to go like that. Maintenance, plus there is a female knight who follows suit... However, no matter what the identity of the other party is, or what status he has, Siddall only knows that this is their territory, and he is the leader of the city guard here. one!
Even if he wouldn't be too embarrassed with the other party because of the face of some big shots in the city, if the other party really did something illegal, he would definitely not be too polite.
"I remembered!"
"Since you know her and haven't allowed us to investigate, she must be that kind of half-human, half-demon monster with a big sword, right?"
Immediately afterwards, what surprised both Anne and Lackey was that the other party actually guessed Elena's true identity through a few angry words he casually and hatefully said?
"If I hadn't..."
"??"
"Gek, what are you doing?"
But fortunately, before the other party could continue talking, and before Elena could think about whether to kill someone immediately and silence him, the other party's companion reached out to hold him again.
"alright!"
"Siduo, it's better to say less!"
"No matter what!"
"It was also Claire who saved our lives. We all owe her a debt of gratitude."
Then, the officer who was also bandaged and looked very strong, the guy named Gek shook his head and looked at his companion with firm eyes, signaling him not to cause more trouble.
"Whether you believe it or not……"
()
"I can tell you very seriously that she is really not a big sword now!"
(゜▽＾*)
Although the other party had already guessed it, Annie turned around and pointed at Elena playfully and assured after thinking about it.
That’s right!
Although Elena was indeed a big sword before, but now that the other party has become her little follower, it is no longer a big sword, and it probably won't be in the future. Anne is very sure about this.
"whispering sound!"
"You said it's not the case?"
It's a pity that the wretched guy named Xiduo didn't buy it. Although he was pulled by his companions, he still replied stiffly.
"How about this!"
☆(o*ω)
"How about we make a bet?"
|ω)
"She was asked to take off her helmet and show it to you. If she is the kind of sword you think she is, then she was asked to help you deal with that monster; if not, you were asked to bark like a dog and run out and crawl around on the street three times. ?”
(ψ｀▽′)o
Although in this matter, Anne would most likely lose in this matter, but based on the principle that she had nothing to lose, she still confidently proposed this to the other party.
"you!!"
Hearing this, Sidor couldn't help but be startled, and then subconsciously looked at Elena, who was silent.
"snort!"
"I don't have the same experience as a kid like you!"
But soon, maybe it was Anne's certainty that scared him, or maybe he himself didn't have the confidence to win? Anyway, he quickly gave up and stood aside with his arms folded angrily, not daring to say anything or continue to answer.
"..."
However, what he didn't know was that Elena, who was wearing the closed helmet at this time, had secretly stared at him with malicious eyes several times.
And it is not difficult to judge from the faintly murderous gaze that she is definitely not thinking of anything good right now!
"Hello!"
"Now is not the time to talk about that kind of thing!"
Finally, Lackey couldn't help it anymore and hurriedly interrupted everyone who wanted to change the topic.
"Claire is injured!"
"Very serious!"
"Annie, can you think of something?!"
Thinking of Annie's ability and her ability to suppress the demonic power, Lackey, of course, anxiously stamped his feet and urged and begged in a tearful tone.
"Method?"
(.)
"If you're injured, just take good care of yourself. What can you do?"
(ω‖)
Anne was a little confused, not knowing why the other party was so sure that she had a solution.
"Do not worry!"
(^～^;)ゞ
"She can't die. She can recover after just two days of rest."
(*︶*).． .:*
Then, seeing Lucky's anxious eyes and seeing that he wanted to say something else, Annie quickly reached out to stop him and comforted him carelessly.
She probably knew what the other party wanted to say, but since there were two outsiders here, and Claire couldn't die for the time being, she certainly didn't want to use the kind of words that would not easily be used by this world. means of human understanding.
Moreover, when they were on Mount Naxilei, that guy Claire kept saying that he and Elena were going to conspire to investigate the 'organization' and expose the true face of the 'organization'... and then he also said that if the situation was true, As they thought, would they eventually overthrow that organization?
But now, catching a mere monster can cause such miserable injuries. If you can't solve this little trouble, then you might as well just die. Queen Anne will not help such a stupid guy!
"Really, really?"
"Is she okay?"
Hearing Annie say that Claire was fine, Lackey finally felt relieved.
"But!"
"You really have no other option?"
But then, Lackey continued to look forward to and praying for help from Anne.
What he wanted to say was undoubtedly that he wanted Anne to use that kind of magical means, such as those used to suppress demons and evil spirits. However, given that there was Gek and the Sydow who was also hated by him, Yes, so he didn't dare to say it openly.
"What can I do?"
(°ー°〃)
"Go see a doctor if you're injured!"
(︵`)
"Do you need someone to give you some money?"
(ー`ー)
Anne deliberately pretended to be confused and frowned as she asked.
"..."
Lucky was at a loss now and opened his mouth. He wanted to say something several times, but he didn't know how to say it.
"it's useless!"
"She is half human and half demon. There is not much we can do except bandage her wounds."
"The priests and priests in the cathedral are the best doctors. They can't do anything. It's useless to ask anyone."
At this time, seeing that Lackey was a little sick and rushed to seek medical treatment, he thought that Lackey wanted Annie to use his identity or some power to find a better doctor. Gek then said slowly while denying it:
"Anyway!"
"We're going back first."
"If she wakes up, remember to ask the hotel owner to send someone to notify us."
"correct!"
"The demon should still be lurking in the cathedral now. Although we have sent more soldiers, we can't guarantee whether it will come out and harm people. You'd better be careful and don't run around at night?"
When the demon appeared and ate people in the cathedral last night, they were entangled with Claire and the female knight on the roof of the hotel. In addition, the other party was a friend of the 'Big Sword', so he was very It is determined that the identity of the two people should have nothing to do with demons.
Therefore, after finishing speaking, he just took one last look at Anne and the mysterious plate-armored female knight behind Anne, and then took his companion Siddur who still wanted to say something and turned away without intending to continue. It's a shame to stay here.
"Isn't it just a demon!"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
Of course, Anne didn't take the other party's warning to heart, so she didn't say goodbye to the other party, and turned her head away with a bit of disdain. She had no intention of accepting the other party's warning humbly.
"..."
"..."
After a while, when the footsteps of the two people going downstairs faded away, Lucky, who was worried and hesitant, and Elena, who was equally worried, both looked at Annie again.
Although the two of them didn't say a word, the meaning expressed by their eyes was already very obvious.
"Do not worry!"
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
"She's really fine. She'll be fine after just two days of rest!"
()
But Annie still said the same thing and still had no intention of helping.
Then, after seeing that there was no excitement here, she turned around and walked out without thinking.
After all, it was already afternoon, and there was not much time before the evening curfew. By then, the streets would be empty of people, and all the shops would be closed. Therefore, she had to go shopping and have fun before then. OK.
"Rakhi!"
"Since Lady Anne said it's okay, then it should be okay."
"promise me!"
"You must take good care of her!"
Seeing Annie going out, Elena didn't dare to neglect, so she had to give a quick warning to Lackey and took a deep look at Claire lying on the bed, and then she had no choice but to quickly chase after her.
"Hello!"
"you……"
Seeing those people all running away at once, leaving only himself and the unconscious Claire, Lackey was of course a little dumbfounded and didn't know what to do.
"."
But looking at Claire lying motionless on the bed, he thought for a moment, then picked up the washbasin beside the bed and prepared to go to the hotel owner to order some hot water, and then replace Claire who was covered in blood. Give it a good rub.
After all, this is the only thing that Lackey, Claire's little follower and follower, can do at the moment.
