Chapter 20: 020. Demon of the Sword (4)
Suddenly, not all students were able to escape to the auditorium with ease due to the unexpected turn of events.
Look at the two girls clinging tightly behind me, unable to move.
Maria, the princess of the B-Class who is known for her hidden strength, and Delia, the daughter of a duke, apparently missed their chance to evacuate due to the swarm of black-clad figures pouring out of the dormitory building.
Thanks to that, they ended up meeting Veris and joining her, but whether to call this a stroke of luck or misfortune is debatable.
"Thank you so much! You have no idea how scared I was."
"...It wasn't intentional."
"Still! There are so many strange people outside, and we can't use magic. I was really at my wit's end!"
"Ma, Mari. Lower your voice."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Maria stuck out her tongue and giggled.
Seeing her innocent demeanor, Veris was taken aback.
It seemed that this girl had no intention of revealing her identity as a princess; she was still acting like a country noblewoman from a rural area of the Gallia Kingdom.
