King Suou looked around the room again and turned to Fina, who was standing beside me.
“Who is that girl? She doesn’t seem to be an elf.” (King)
“This girl is Fina. Before the Orochi came back to life, wyverns and volglass attacked. Then Shinobu was wounded in the battle and fainted. She’s the one who took care of her.” (Yuna)
I explained about Fina.
“…I’m Fina.”
Fina bowed a little.
King Suou looked at Fina slightly and then turned his gaze to Shinobu.
“Shinobu, are you injured?” (King)
Shinobu has changed her clothes and did not appear to be injured by looking at her appearance alone. The wounds on her shoulder and face have healed, but not the other injuries.
“I was injured when I fought the wyvern, and it still hurts a little, but I’m fine now. Also, my clothes were torn to shreds during the fight, so I changed them.” (Shinobu)
Shinobu grabbed her clothes.
“I hope it wasn’t a serious injury. I’ve always given you trouble.” (King)
She was seriously injured, though.
“It’s just, I didn’t have the strength.” (Shinobu)
“But did you fight the wyverns before you fought the Orochi?” (King)
“As if drawn by the resurrection of the Orochi, the Volglass and wyverns gathered. We had to split up to fight, but there was no one else who could fight at that time, so we had to let Shinobu fight alone.” (Kagali)
We didn’t have enough people and had to include Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
“So the wyverns and the volglass were gathered on the island as if summoned by the Orochi? I knew it.” (King)
“What happened?” (Kagali)
King Suou told us that a horde of monsters appeared out of nowhere and was about to head for the island.
“Because of that, it delayed our initial response and prevented us from gathering the mages.” (King)
“By the way, what happened to those women who were supposed to fight the Orochi? They didn’t come to the island. If they had come, it might have made the battle a little easier.” (Kagali)
Kagali-san’s words reminded me of something. He mentioned that they were gathering women to fight the Orochi, didn’t he?
King Suou looked like he was having trouble saying anything, but he opened his mouth.
“……The women fled.” (King)
“……Ha~a?” (Kagali)
“Once they were near the island, when they saw the Orochi, they lost their will to fight and refused to disembark on the island.” (King)
In other words, it seems that it was a useless plan after all.
But as for me, I would have preferred them not to be there. I would have been traumatized if they had died in front of me.
“Well, only a fool would look at the Orochi and think of fighting it.” (Kagali)
Are you talking about me?
“Or someone who knows they’re strong enough to defeat it.” (Kagali)
Then Kagali-san looks at me.
I seem to be the strong one, not the fool.
“I never thought you would go that far, Kagali.” (King)
“Even I can’t believe it after seeing it with my own eyes. You don’t know what it’s like not to have seen her fight.” (Kagali)
“I wish I could have seen it myself.” (Shinobu)
Shinobu fainted and stayed in my house until the fight with the Orochi was over, so she did not see the battle.
“The more I hear about it, the more it becomes unbelievable.” (King)
“It can’t be helped, even I can’t believe what I saw with my own eyes. So, I have a favor to ask of you, please do not disclose that we were involved in defeating the Orochi this time.” (Kagali)
“Why? If you really defeated the Orochi, why would you need to hide it?” (King)
“We don’t want to make a fuss, we don’t want to stand out. There are many ways to put it, but that’s the way it is. All of us just want to relax. This is the feeling of everyone here.” (Kagali)
“But, is it possible to convince them without telling them about Yuna-sama, Kagali-sama, and Mumroot-sama?” (Sakura)
“If it’s not possible, just pretend that Shinobu defeated it.” (Kagali)
“So why did it come back to that? I don’t want it!” (Shinobu)
Shinobu shouted at Kagali-san’s words.
“That’s easy enough.” (King)
“””…………!”””
Everyone was surprised at King Suou’s words.
“What do you mean? Some of them may wonder who killed Orochi.” (Kagali)
