The whole nation of Xetremelia was bustling with excitement. All the provinces, cities or even villages were early waiting for the big event to start.
Obviously most of them were not going to participate in this event as the monsters were just too strong but they were definitely going to cheer for the brave people who were going to fight in the frontlines risking their lives in order to protect the common population.
The Xetremelia Empire had an ancient and very useful magic item which was able to record and project the scene from a certain place almost perfectly. And by connecting that item with another special magic item that they had developed, it was possible to project the recordings even in distant areas.
After learning about this amazing technology, Utrena and Kenny were setting up receiving stations all over the nation. So it was possible for everyone to watch anything protecting with leisure. This was truly a great invention.
Utrena had been using this technology for about 2 years and she had started to use it in order to notify the nation about any major decision she made. From everyone, this had gained a very positive reaction. It was also useful in sending her orders to nobles who lived far away from the capital.
...
On the day of the event in the early morning, Utrena teleported to a fort called Lindworm fortress which would be their main base in this expedition of the danger zone. At the last moment it was decided that they would be targeting not just one danger zone but three.
This decision was made because all of those places were showing signs of unrest with the monster population increasing at an accelerated pace. So as many powerful individuals were getting ready to fight anyway, the heads of the nation decided to get rid of all the troubles in one single large scale expedition.
In the adventure guild, the people who had the powers transcending the Orichalcum rank were given the title of Legendary Adventurer. They were the absolute top of the adventuring world and were respected all over the world. Agetha was one such Legendary Adventurer but with a pseudo identity.
Hikari also greeted Rejn cutely with a bow and she was rewarded with headpats for that. Her physique had improved remarkably even though it had not been long since she started to train with Agetha. But after eating a proper amount of food, she had soon started to look like a beautiful young lady and not like her previous malnourished self.
Rein already knew about this as he had visited them just before reentering the dungeon, so it was not surprising but he was still happy about it. He spent some time talking with Agetha and Hikari and then they left. They were going to participate in this expedition and Lulu was going to enjoy the show from the front raw sits with Rein's other lovers.
...
As soon as Agetha left the private room, a full body armour appeared on her body and covered her form. It was not a physical armour but the effect of her inherent special ability. This was also the form she took when she was working as the legendary adventurer, The Crimson Overlord.
This armour gave her various extremely powerful abilities and not only that but with the armour on, it was very hard for anyone to know about her real identity. Even Rein's eyes of truth were barely able to break this abilities hiding in ability and that was also after Rein had gotten stronger than her. So it was also very useful in maintaining her identity a secret.
Not only her looks but her atmosphere also changed after leaving the room. Inside the room she was a boisterous, jolly and easy going person but now she looked like a cold and proud powerhouse who was very hard to approach. The aura around her also became more oppressive.
The same thing happened with Hikari to a lesser extent. This was not them hiding their true personality but this was their personality when they were interacting with people outside of their family. Then they went to join the waiting group who were ready to start the expedition. MVLeMpYr-your-novel-source
