Volume 6 - CH 3.3

Part 3

The men had bloodshot eyes.

Their appearance was that of having normal shirts and pants, but large holy symbols dangled around their necks. And then, they held maces in their hands.

One among them had pointed Horun out.

「This girl, is she one of Lumachina’s companions!?」

To think that a believer would address the High Chief Priest without using any honorifics.

It was clear that those men were after their luggage.

A different one spoke.

「There should still be more fabricated documents……We’ll have you obediently hand them over.」

Horun wrinkled her eyebrows.

They should have brought all of the evidence.

The only one she could think of, was Alicia. She didn’t hand over all of the evidence that she acquired.

So she had thought of the possibility that Lumachina would fail in the negotiations, and that they would get back the evidence.

「Although I was spot on, I’m in a pinch -ssu.」

Babylon swung a fist.

『What are you saying? Those guys’ levels are around ten, ya know? Just go at them with a snap, a snap!』

『The level up bonus skill has been selected.』

「Ha?」

When she turned her gaze towards her, Babylon was shaking her head left and right.

『That just now wasn’t me, ya know?』

The mysterious voice resounded once again in her head.

『Skill 《Charm》 has become level 8.』

「What is it -su ka!?」

『Like I said, that wasn’t me. Isn’t it a bit confusing?』

「What is 《Charm》 -su ka!?」

The instant she shouted, pink hearts flew to the three men that she was confronting.

*Hyo hyo hyo hyo, pashun!* A relaxed sound was made.

「Nhii!?」

The men raised strange voices.

*Howa～n* Their cheeks turned red.

Putting it bluntly, it felt creepy.

They started saying strange things.

「He, hehe……Ojou-chan, we’re sorry for that somewhat harsh way of speaking, okay? It’s not like we want to be hated by you, see?」

「That’s right.」

「If we were to be hated by you, ojou-chan, we wouldn’t be able to keep on living.」

*Zowah* A chill ran down Horun’s spine.

──What in the world are these people saying!?
