Boo-oh!
""So, Your Highness!"
The orc's stiff arm swings down over Celestia's head.
Zang!
That arm flew through the air.
I was on the verge of interrupting it and slashing it off.
Despite having its arm severed, the orc showed no signs of pain.
On the contrary, it leapt its huge body and tried to rush forward.
Zubang!
This ti I slashed his legs.
The orc flipped over from its head to the ground.
Almost no blood has co out of the severed area.
It's just as I thought.
"This orc is turning into undead.
Oh, undead...?
A chain of gasps from behind .
'Yeah. That's why it's hard to take them down with normal attacks.'
"Boo-hoo!
Shut up.
"Bougougou?
I sent a heel drop to the head of the orc who was screaming angrily as he fell.
Of course, such an attack would have no effect on the undead.
''Holy Ray.''
'Aaaaaaah!
The light magic belonging to the White Magic Law purifies it.
When it was bathed in that light, the Orcs stopped moving as if their previous durability was a lie.
''Are you okay?''
After confirming that the undead orc was completely extinct this ti, I call out to Celestia-san, who is poking her buttocks into the ground.
''Ha, yes. I was saved........
Celestia-san nodded her head in agreent, but I could see that her voice was trembling a bit.
Besides, she seed to have buckled down and was having trouble getting up.
I reached out my hand.
''Oh, thank you.''
Celestia grabbed my hand and managed to stand up with it.
''Your Highness, are you alright?''
Alisa-san rushes over to the side.
''Yes ... thanks to Leila-san ...''
Alisa, who doesn't seem to think too much of , or Leila for that matter, bows her head deeply.
''Thank you so much, Your Highness. If you hadn't stepped in to help us, Your Highness would have been.......
And that's just as well.
I waved my hand in a buzzing motion.
"But then again, a high orc undead...
No way....
Hey, co on, man. There is no Demon King.
Yeah, well, it's a coincidence...
Everyone is turning blue in the face.
Four years ago, this royal capital had been attacked by a group of undead and was on the verge of falling.
Maybe they are rembering the fear they felt at that ti.
Then we got into the carriage as planned and headed back to the city.
A gloomy atmosphere fills the carriage, unlike the one we were going to, but Celestia opens her mouth in a cheerful way to dispel the gloom.
'Ladies and gentlen, there's no need to be so depressed. There were a few unforeseen circumstances, but all of us were able to finish the training safely. Let's make the most of what we learned this ti.
After we returned to King's Landing, the order to investigate was given to the knights.
Since the princess's life was threatened, it's only natural.
I heard that an investigation team entered the forest as well, but in the end, no undead monsters seed to have been identified.
There was no chance of a demon spontaneously becoming undead.
They have concluded that it probably happened by accident.
This was all told to by Ricca.
By the way, the appearance of undead monsters has been hushed up inside and outside of the academy because of the anxiety it causes people.
''Rikka, you know it well.
My dad's a very important man in the court.
'What? Is Rikka actually a nobleman's daughter?
'Yes. So you'd better watch your attitude, okay?
Rikka jokingly threatens .
However, given her personality, she doesn't seem to be able to rely on the house.
The participants in the voluntary seminar seed uneasy at first, but recently they are recovering from it.
Celestia, the organizer of the seminar and the person who must have been in the most dangerous situation, is doing well.
However, despite the cheerful atmosphere, is it my imagination that she has been looking a bit tired lately?
That night, I woke up.
For a mont I thought it was Leila again, but no.
'Huh, huh, huh...'
Rough breathing echoed in the quiet room.
It was from the bed on the other side of the room.
Celestia had raised her upper body and was hugging herself with both arms.
She was trembling slightly.
''.........Celestia-sister?''
...Leila.
Are you okay?
Yeah, don't worry about it. I just had a little scary dream, that's all.
Mr. Celestia lay back down.
'I'm sorry to wake you up. ........Good night.
Well, good night.
Worrying, but deciding that any more would be unnecessary ddling, I tried to fall asleep again.
But after a bit.
Well, Miss Leila.
What, Lisa?
Well, you see...
Miss Celestia stamred sothing.
As I waited without hurrying, she said fearfully.
''Well, can I sleep with you over there...?''
FUH?
I freeze my head for a mont at the shocking request.
No, I'm going to sleep with you!
and Mr. Celestia, in this small bed together!
'Jeez, actually I haven't been sleeping much lately because I've been having a lot of scary dreams...'
"...Miss Celestia.
Apparently, he was definitely under the impression that he was tired.
The fact that he looked fine to the side was probably because he was acting like he didn't want to show it to those around him.
''Of course, of course, if you don't want to, you can refuse...''
I shook my head reflexively at the sound of his fading voice.
'Y-yeah, I don't hate it!'
