“Change of plans!”

“Young Lady!

[Carol!?]

Fluttering down as I jumped off Pochi, I skydived from 4,000 meters up in the sky.

My red dress kept fluttering, as I cut down at the wind, adjusting where I fell, applying physical reinforcement to my entire body and releasing magic directly below me as I approached the ground.

“–[Typhoon]–“

[Gyaaaaaah!?]

[Geeaaaahhh!]

The storm blew away the soldiers and the rioting peasants! And I landed with a loud sound, and enough force that created a crater on the ground of the area that was vacated by my attack.

[[[…]]]

As I stood up amidst the people who were blasted away and were frozen in fear, they turned their eyes to me, and the first to return to their senses was a commercial guild member.

“Witch-san…?”

“Ah, Jess-san, long time no see.”

It was the Dwarf uncle who used to buy weapons from the commercial guild. I had heard that most of the subhumans had left, but he was still here.

“What happened?”

I asked, now that things had quieted down, Jess-san gulped and spat at the people who were still immobile after being blown away and were still laying down on the ground.

“…No, I mean, the farmers asked for food…”

“There is none?”

“The Lord has taken most of this year’s portion…. I still have some left over from last year, but still, as a commercial guild, we can’t give it out for free.”

“Hmm.”

That made sense. One might think that since there was a famine, commercial guilds should give the food out if they have it, but even after the famine passed, the peasants would not necessarily bring in the money. Usually, the Lords pay the peasants to circulate the money. But instead there would be a very high probability that the peasants would be forced to give it to the Lords. If that were to happen, not only the merchants would suffer, the distribution of supply in the city would also stop, which would cause many problems all over the place.

Besides, once a precedent was set, the peasants would repeatedly ask the commercial guilds for help, and even if they refused to give anymore, the starving peasants would attack the guilds and the merchants.

“Ah, money.”

“Yes…”

I dropped a pile of almost 10,000 silver coins in front of Jess-san, and everyone’s eyes who witnessed this along with Jess-san widened in shock.

“Can you use this?”

“…Witch-san…what the heck are you…”

“Demon Lord-sama!!!!”

“Young Lady!!”

At that time, the voices of the Demon Lord’s guards who had caught up with me from above, and most importantly, the sight of a dark dragon, griffons, and other advanced demons descending on me, caused a panic among the peasants and people in the town.

[Demon Lord!]

[Dragon!]

I failed. I was about to signal Pochi to calm them down with a spirit-crushing dragon roar, when a voice echoed from a different direction.

“What the heck is that demon? Knights, step forward! Soldiers, fire your bows!”

A group of knights and soldiers on horseback suddenly appeared. They seemed to be the knights of Arceides. But they were trying to shoot arrows at the peasants as well, so to avoid the casualties I suppressed the knights and soldiers with an ice storm.

“Damn, if it’s only this much…”

While more than half of the knights were immobilized by [Ice Storm], someone who looks like a commander stepped forward while cracking the ice sticking to his body with the hilt of his sword. Hey, that person…?

“Brother Dirk?”

“…Witch!”

Come to think of it, Dirk was traumatized by me, the Witch one, wasn’t he? But why would he be here, anyway? Did the King send an order to subdue his domain? Dirk, who was looking at me with an astonished face as I was thinking this, suddenly frowned.
