Chapter 674: A Certain Girl and the Rumours of the Evil Dragon (side: Miria)
Having reached the Holy City of Ridom and acquired lodgings, Meltia-san and I are wandering around town in order to gather information about Saint Lilixira. Then, in a wide open square with a fountain, we succeeded in asking Gram-san, an elder disciple of the Holy God religion.
“You have heard nothing, esteemed travellers? In order to settle things with the evil dragon Demon Lord, Saint-sama headed towards the Easternmost Strange Land together with the Holy Knights.”
“N-no way… Saint Lilixira is aiming for Irushia-san…”
Not satisfied with framing Irushia-san as the mastermind behind the turmoil in Ardesia, Saint Lilixira is apparently set on subjugating him, even if it meant chasing him to the ends of the earth. Meltia-san’s face turns bitter as we hear about this.
I don’t know why everything turned out this way. Only, there are some things I’m certain of now.
Saint Lilixira is a champion of humanity, with the greatest fighting strength in this world… So even if Irushia-san is victorious against her, it’s possible that he will end up being seen throughout the world as an absolute enemy of humanity. There are only two outcomes possible. Irushia-san will be killed by Saint Lilixira, or if he will truly be recognised as the Demon Lord and be hunted forever.
“Why did she do such a…! T-this is, it’s definitely strange! Because at that time, Irushia-san… that dragon was fighting to protect Alban!”
“H-hey, Miria, calm down! Ahaha… sorry, Gram-san, she can get a little excited…”
Meltia is signalling to me『That line of conversation is bad』using her eyes.
