When we used the transfer stones to return to the capital’s dungeon entrance, there were more than 30 soldiers guarding it. The number of people must be for capturing the Hero in the off-chance that he returned to this entrance.
Since the Hero’s gift has a time limit, overwhelming him with numbers is a reasonable strategy. This may have come from the prince, as the king had fainted and was currently useless.
We caught one of the soldiers and told him that the Hero had been subjugated.
[I-I will report to His Majesty immediately. Please head to the castle as you are now!]
With that, the soldier we spoke to immediately ran to the castle.
Looks like the soldier was too flustered about the Hero subjugation to notice that Cattleya’s injuries had been healed…
Right now, Cattleya is not hiding her face, showing the beautiful appearance she had before the burns and injuries she suffered. I asked if she shouldn’t continue hiding her face because there will no doubt be an uproar, but she insisted that “I don’t want to hide my face anymore!” with a very angry look, so I let her be as is since it can’t be helped.
We’re heading to the castle at our own pace like we were told, but excessively stood out due to Cattleya not hiding her face. Regardless of whether they recognize the princess’ face or not, everyone’s gaze is attracted to her beauty. The attention of the entire city has been monopolized, although in a different sense compared to Elinsia…
By the way, I’ve decided to have only the twins return to Lilia’s side this time. Putting people back to Lilia’s side is starting to become troublesome too…
Kate asked while we are walking towards the castle.
[Ah…]
That’s true, isn’t it. The deadline was 1 week and yet it isn’t normal to be finished in just half a day. I haven’t thought about this at all. Of course, it’s not like I have to answer even if they ask…
As I am thinking about what to do, Mio raises her hand and speaks.
[Oh, here here. I don’t see anything wrong with just answering honestly. ]
[Meaning?]
[I mean, the Hero ran to the 18th floor safety zone, didn’t he? We made that kind of prediction and when we actually went there he was really there. And so we fought him as is and defeated him. The topic will be over if you say that I think.]
[Oh right. Sure, if I think about Kusakabe’s character, I can’t imagine him going to a lower floor alone. If there was a safe zone nearby, the possibility of him going there is not low. Or maybe I should say it would probably be his first choice.]
