In the midst of all this, we finally made it to the mansion where Prince Kreis was supposed to be.
We were now in an alley a little ways away from the location of the site.
There are many mansions in the area, so the moonlight doesn’t reach many places around here.
It was a good place to hide.
As expected, there are many guards here.
Even at night, there seem to be dozens of patrollers.
…… Is Houen okay?
It’s a little strange, though.
Even now, I still can’t see any flames.
His flame skill is like a cheat, if it hits he wins.
It is unnatural for him to be fighting with only his spear without using it even once, even though it is very obvious.
He doesn’t seem to be getting back.
Will he be alright?
“Ouren, let me go back.”
“Alena-chan ……!?”
“Got it.”
“Ouren!?”
Maria, who was always next to Alena, called out her name in surprise.
Of course, she whispered.
“Hold on a minute! There’s no way you’re going to let a child go back alone!”
“Although Alena is a child, she is no longer a kid. She’s a great fighter and that’s why she’s with us on this mission. I trust Alena and entrust her with Houen.”
“No, that may be true,……, but!”
This is a genuine intention.
However, there are other reasons as well.
Alena is one of the people who has witnessed Houen’s memory loss.
It would be unwise for an outsider to get in the middle of the matter and cause another misunderstanding, and if possible, I’d like to have someone with an understanding of the situation go to Houen and the devil.
Alena probably knows this as well.
Besides, there is only one person who can completely stop the demon’s movement right now.
“I leave it to you.”
“Yes!”
Alena floated gently, leaving Maria behind and heading back the way we came.
The rest doesn’t seem to complain.
Hmmm, Maria is absolutely glaring at me.
Please don’t leave, because you will have to play an active role over here.
“Sigh ……. There’s hardly anyone who doesn’t listen to the guildmaster.”
It can’t be helped. It’s Ouren’s group after all.”
“How can you be so optimistic ……?”
Well, nothing wrong with that.
Ignoring the conversation, I deployed the haze manipulation into the mansion.
