“I don’t know if you understand how reckless you tried to be.”

White spat out in a bit of a tone, and Orca blushed once.

She put on a face tinged with shame, as she struggled to scream at her.

“That, that was just a momentary mistake in judgment…… ! Me, I didn’t even plan to meet the 12 demon kings 1v1 in the first place?!”

She said that, but she bowed her head, as if he was aware that there was an error in her own words.

“I’m glad you seem to know what your fault is.”

White sighed heavily.

Of course, Orca’s expression turned even more red.

She wants to refute something, but in the end, she doesn’t know what to say, so she closes her eyes tightly.

“… ….”

And after taking a look back at her, White continued her steps with a calmer expression on her face.

By calming her down and going back to her institution, her night has already come.

Taking in the moonlight faintly filtering through the dense trees, White frowned at her.

“…… Orca.”

Instantly, in a low voice, White calls out to the red-haired girl who follows.

“What, what is it?”

Orca reacted a bit too violently, but she tilted her head for a moment, but White continued her words without paying much attention.

“You know very well that it would be best to keep quiet for a while. I said I’d help you avenge it, I didn’t mean to help you get killed by a dog.”

“…… I know.”

Orca grumbled at White’s slightly harsh words and trampled her feet once on the ground.

A bit of bittersweet emotion began to appear in her eyes.

“… ….”

And White, who could guess what she was thinking, she just kept her mouth shut and moved on.

Because I knew very well that the pain of losing her family wasn’t something that could simply be dismissed as ‘I guess so’.

Since she was able to make a judgment with at least common sense that there was no reason to provoke her in such a state, White silently moved her legs.

The gates of the archipelago were firmly locked, but White and Orca easily crossed over the walls.

“…… Wouldn’t this be caught by the institutional guards?”

Retrieving the bloody aura that spilled into her legs, the orca spat out as if a little concerned.

“What, at best, it’s illegal trespassing. Don’t worry, you won’t get caught.”

Still, White remained calm, and Orca let out a wry smile.

“…… I don’t think that’s the problem.”

Anyway, the two boys and girls cautiously move beyond the system and even to the imperial palace.

If someone had seen them, they might have seen them as assassins trying to break into the imperial palace.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the night was deep and there were no people around who were capable enough to notice the movements of White and Orca.

And that’s how the two eventually arrived at the entrance of the imperial palace.

…… A suspicious light appeared on the faces of the two.

It’s nothing else, but the figure of a young man who stopped them.

“…… White.”

“Aidan?”

Aidan Kecil, who was leaning against the wall near the entrance of the imperial palace, opened his mouth with a tired look on his face.

“You did bring it back in the end. Although it took quite a while.”

Closing his words with an odd accent, Aidan turned his confused gaze toward the orca.

“Orca.”

“… ….”

Did she know that she had done something wrong?

With a very uncomfortable expression, Orca avoided Aidan’s gaze.

But she soon realized that she had to say something, and she carefully opened her mouth to hear her apologies.

“Sorry, I’ve caused you trouble.”

“…… Whoa.”

Simple but clear words of apology.

While touching her forehead once, Aidan shrugged her shoulders as if he couldn’t help it.

“…… I just wanted you to come back safely. The other guys seem to be worried and haven’t slept yet. Go and see.”

“Ah… ….”

Aidan’s words made Orca’s expression even more guilty.

Considering her usual jovial appearance, her expression didn’t suit her at all.

That’s why Aidan opened her mouth again while letting her goofy laugh.

“But before that, I think it would be best to go see His Excellency, Marquis of Vampir.”

“…… Uh?”

Perhaps she hadn’t thought about it, Orca momentarily gave out a dazed voice.

“He worries a lot and is very angry. Take care of it.”

Aidan finished his words, raising the corners of her mouth with a mischievous look.

“Uh, uh uh… ….”

And she could easily predict the future after him.

Orca still uttered a blank voice and began to stagger her steps.

“… ….”

“… ….”

In the end, it was two young men, White and Aidan, who remained at the entrance of the imperial palace.

There was a moment of quiet silence, and then Aidan spat out a word without hesitation.

“…… Can I interpret it as being like that, White?”

“…… ?”

And at what he said, White tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.

At that, Aidan frowned once, but could he have noticed the sincerity?

Aidan opened his mouth to White again, laughing as if it was a little ridiculous.

“Isn’t it? I know you left not too late, but it was late at night when you brought her back. No, I guess you could say it’s almost dawn.”

With a mischievous laugh, Aidan continued.

“…… And crucially, Orca’s eyes were slightly red, but after thinking about all these factors together, you and Orca are—”

f*ck!

“Cheuk.”

Aidan’s words did not follow.

With a single light blow, Aidan’s body collapsed powerlessly.

“You are talking nonsense, Aidan.”

Shaking her hand once, White drew a cold smile.

I didn’t understand at first, but I wasn’t so stupid that I couldn’t read Aidan’s thoughts.

With a deeply sunken expression, White snapped her wrist once.

“…… Hey, am I a normal person with no abilities? Against me like that, if the great wizard wields violence—”

Aidan rubbed her face, trying to get his words out.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know that very well.”

“Hey, hey?”

White was just honest.

f*ck!

“Oh no, sir… ….”

A blow sounded a little louder than the one before, and soon after, Aidan cursed and collapsed.

“Hmm.”

And looking down at him, White shook her head.

“…… Needless curiosity leads to anger.”

Coldly raising the corners of her mouth, White walked past the fallen Aidan.

“…… Did something wrong…….”

“… ….”

“…… Are you there? Orca, orca?”

“…… Ah oh. Father.”

“…… You are not listening to me at all.”

Seeing Orca’s expression looking somewhat dazed, the Marquis of Bampir sighed deeply and pressed her eyes.

…… At first, how embarrassed I was when I heard that my one and only daughter had disappeared.

I wanted to go out looking for it right away, but I didn’t have the confidence to pursue it.

‘I tried to visit the Duke of Clifford, but luckily I did come back… ….’

The Marquis of Vampir glanced at his own daughter once with a trembling gaze.

…… Yes, he came back though.

For some reason, the condition of Orca, his own daughter, was not very serious.

The dazed eyes are still shining, and the expression also changes in various forms without knowing where.

My cheeks were flushed for some reason, and my voice was weak.

“…… Just go back I don’t think there’s any point in saying more.”

“…… Oh, yes.”

At the end of the night, despite the Marquis de Pir’s order to celebrate, Orca merely replied with her dazed voice.

“… ….”

Looking at Orca as she turned and walked away, she let out a small sigh so that the Marquis of Pir could not hear her night.

…… I don’t know why it came back in such a hazy state.

‘Should I say I’m glad I’m back?’

As if it was a habit, he pressed her eyes lightly again.

The Marquis of Vampir threw a bitter glance out the window.

In his mind, he thought of his own eldest son, who must have died at a very young age many, many years ago.

“… ….”

Slowly and calmly, he began to let a restrained emotion of anger float in his eyes.

This was the point at which the Marquis of Vamfir became clearly hostile towards the 12 Demon Lords.
