Chapter 387 - Dangerous Person

Today is a rest day. Yesterday, I have been using my Divine Vision for a long time and it's straining my eyes. That's why I choose to rest today.

Tomorrow, we will return searching for the Angels' Sanctuary in the sky again. But next time, I won't keep using my Divine Vision too much. Probably just enough to see farther than average people's vision.

Or maybe I'll just trust Spot to find it by himself. I should have asked him to look for it today.

Well, he seems happy devouring the foods Lina cooked today. I guess today's rest is necessary for him as well.

He might not show it, but I think Spot is tired after helping us building a mountain, river, and lake.

As for Lina, she is introducing Tia to our world. Of course, we make sure that she's covering her long ears to not gain attention. And Shelia is with her.

The two are humanoid monsters who can mingle with humans. And Shelia loves to walk around as well.

It should be fine since Lina and Sophie are with them. And our clan is popular enough that no idiots dare to pick a fight against us.

…but even though I'm the leader of the clan, I'm the least popular among them. Even our other male member, Kron, is more popular.

Well, that is fine.

Today, I'll just rest here in the base. The kids are playing outside along with some members of the clan. The only ones in the building other than me are Victoria and Spot, who seems to always be by my side, and Veronica.

After knowing her better, I realized that Veronica is an introvert. Rather than going outside, she prefers to stay at home and reading books. That's why since the others are with the kids, she's staying inside to read books. I just hope it's not any kind of book that Victoria wrote.

As I also have nothing to do, I spent the day reading books as well.

What? I'm quite a studious man, you know? I'm a doctor after all.

What I'm reading was medical books, essays, and records that I received from the hospital where I taught the doctors about future medical knowledges. These stuffs are not something that I should be able to get, but because of my status now, I can read it.

I'm interested because some of them are related to the knowledge from the future that has been spread. If what's written is true, it will help with the doctors in this time. If there's some mistake, I can fix it. If it's totally wrong, I rip them apart. There's no need for anyone to read such nonsense.

But if there's something I don't know about, I just keep it in my mind and ask for other doctors' help to see if it's true or not. Who knows how many people can be saved if it's true?

Victoria is also reading with us. As for Spot, he's sleeping around my waist. Somehow, he's comfortable staying there.

We were just reading in silent, when I suddenly feel a chill.

It's not cold, so I don't know why I feel chilly.

Although I was supposed to be resting and not using my Divine Vision for today, I had no choice but to use it. I feel like my life is in danger.

Is it because I'm an Aura user that I realize something is happening? Or is it because I have gone through so many experiences? I don't know. I just feel like something is targeting me.

And then, as I look further outside of the city, I see someone walking casually outside the city. It's a girl. With a mohawk hairstyle. Shaved clean on the side, and raising in the middle. Weird.

But I can feel that she's the source of my uneasiness. I don't think it's the mohawk.

When I moved my eyes toward her direction, even though I don't need to, that mohawk girl suddenly looked at me!

I was frozen on the spot. This girl is dangerous!

"Roy, what's wrong?" Victoria asked.

Seems like I worried them too much that both Victoria and Veronica stopped reading, and Spot woke up from my uneasiness.

What should I say? That I'm afraid of a girl with mohawk? Let's ask Veronica just in case.

"Veronica! Mohawk! Girl! Mohawk! Dangerous!" I said.

"A girl with mohawk? Don't tell me…!"

"You know her?!" I asked.

"There's someone in high position in the cult, only lower than the archbishop. No one knows his name, but we just call him Professor. He always had this one subordinate, a girl with mohawk, to do everything he asked for. Even though I'm an expert level mage, I always afraid of her. Although she has presence like the archbishop, she seems weaker. But she feels much stronger than me," Veronica said.

"You mean she's member of the cult and she's most likely a master level mage!? And she's coming here!?"

Why is she coming here? That Professor Veronica talked about is giving her an order? What's the order?

Most likely, it was the result of the tournament. But if it's because of the tournament, she should be targeting Angela first. But I never heard of her being targeted.

Is it Kayla? She's the runner up, so it's unlikely for her to be the target because of the tournament. Angela is more dangerous for the cult than Kayla at this moment.

And targeting Angela should be better for the enemy since she's close with the princess, Shirley.

I guess it's not about the tournament.

Then, the other reason is that they found out about Veronica and Celestine.

Since Celestine is in the empire, it's Veronica they are targeting. But I doubt they have evidence of Veronica being here.

That means, it's just a personal errand. That Professor is aiming something that can be found here.

For now, it's best to get everyone to safety.

"Sonia, go get the others!" I ordered Sonia.

As Veronica is getting ready, I grabbed something from the storage.

It's a Broadcasting Camera. A magic item that Marie invented with the help of Victoria. It will allow what it seen to be broadcasted to TVs.

It won't be seen from the screen in Melk, but for the four kings, they can see what the camera sees.

"What are you going to use that for?" Victoria asked.

"She's a master level mage. I will approach her and ask her why she's coming here for. There might be battle, so I will let the others to watch how powerful a master level mage is. Though I hope she's not that strong," I said.

"You're going to challenge her!?" Spot asked.

"Most likely. Among everyone here, only I can act fast enough to retreat if something happened. And if I think that we have a chance if I put everyone together against her, then I can just have everyone help me," I said as I put the camera on my chest. I used Blobbies to hold the camera there.

It's good that the camera is small in size. It won't be suspicious like this.

After everyone returns, I told them about the mohawk girl and transport them to safety. To Albert's palace. I had Sonia inform the kings as well. They will see what happen on TV.

"Are you sure you can do it alone?" Sophie asked worriedly.

"No. Because I almost never been alone. Victoria, Spot, and also Shelia will be with me if the battle happens. And I had Veronica to come save me after a certain time passed. I'm not confident in winning, but I'm at least confident in retreating," I said.

The plan is that I will confront the woman with Victoria and Spot hidden around my body. Then, if the battle truly happens, I will summon Shelia to help me. And then Veronica will help me after fifteen minutes passed, or she judged that I'm in trouble. She will be watching it from the TV we had in our base.

"Understood. If it becomes too dangerous, just retreat. If you think we can defeat her with everyone, prepare a portal and we will help you. Keep the camera with you. If you need anything, just say it out loud. And we will send you messages through Sonia. She will stay invisible next to you," Kayla said.

As expected, she already has a plan.

"Alright, now, you go," I said to them to let them go to Albert's palace.

As for the kids and orphans, I transported them to my mansion in the capital after putting them to sleep so they won't get panicked. Ruby and Ian will take care of them.

"I'm leaving now!" I said.

"Be careful. She has been sent to many difficult missions, and she returned alive. Even to a mission that Celestine and I reluctant to take despite us being expert level mages. That just shows how powerful she is," Veronica warned me.

"Understood. If I choose to escape before you have your turn, destroy everything here before escaping yourself. We don't want the cult to find any evidences of us here," I said.

I'm sweating right now. Just the thought that I might fighting a master level mage makes me afraid.

When was the last time I was this afraid? I don't remember.

Does that mean I'm strong? Maybe.

But I doubt just being strong is enough to defeat Mohawk.

Well, maybe everything is just my imagination. Mohawk is here just by chance and not for any mission. I hope that's the case.

But the fact that she's glaring at me even though I'm far away and using Divine Vision scares me so much.

I hope I'm just overthinking it.
