“Seize those traitors!”
The King’s shout echoed through the air, and the knights and guards were on the move at once.
One was Flare, the rebellious Lady who had been imprisoned for plotting to usurp the throne and destroying the Royal Capital.
Second was Carol, the missing Dowager Daughter who was sentenced to extreme punishment for her connection to the Daemon Race and was suspected of destroying the Royal Castle: well, that was actually me, but after rescuing Flare and lending her some VRMMO-era clothes, the soldiers with weapons closed in on us.
“Flare-sama!!!”
As if to hinder them, from among the spectators, commoners with small weapons and daggers in their hands instead of shields jumped over the fence and attacked the soldiers from the side.
“Carol!”
Cam tried to run toward them amidst screams from everywhere, and as the knights drew their weapons and closed in on him to stop him, some of the intruders stood to protect Cam.
“Camille-sama, are you all right?”
“Nicholas!”
Mixed in with the luggage of merchants who had obtained permission without restrictions, Nicholas and the followers of Flare: as well as the soldiers of the local lords, who were on our side: were able to enter the Royal Capital.
They must be taking advantage of this moment to raid the knight’s quarters and other places as well.
“What are you two doing, why didn’t you tell me?”
“”…””
Flare and I involuntarily looked at each other, and without speaking, Flare held up her left hand and I held up my right hand with my magic gun.
“”Bothersome.””
*Don, don, don, don!!!
Goooooooo!!!
“Kyaaaaaaaah!”
Exposed to bullets and fire, Alice screamed and ran away towards the Crown Prince and the others, protected by spirits.
“Tsk!”
Flare clicked her tongue loudly, and I knew exactly how she felt. How to kill that thing? The spirits protected her with their own body, so as long as the spirits were around, Alice couldn’t be hit by normal attacks. The only way would be to somehow deactivate the [Beloved Child] Magic Tool fused with Alice…but…how?
“Flare? Was that Flame Spirit liberated?”
I thought that Flare was also contracted by fusing with the magical tool, but I couldn’t feel that magical tool from Flare.
When I asked her about it, Flare only looked at me with a frown.
“Liberated? I simply took it from Mother by force. …Come to think of it, she was bound by some strange device, but it disappeared when the Spirit made a contract with me.”
“…I see.”
She forcibly made a contract and broke the shackles of her magical tool? She must have been very compatible with the rough-tempered flame spirit….
“Hmmm, I see. I’ll give you this.”
I tossed a red vial from my bag, and Flare caught it with her fingertips.
“…What’s this?”
“An Elixir of Life.”
Flare’s eyes widened as I answered lightly.
It was an HPMP complete recovery potion that helped me in my VRMMO days. It required advanced alchemy skills, and it seemed that the last time it was used in this continent was when it was looted from elves in the past and sold for 1,000 large gold coins a couple of decades ago.
I could make them, but I lacked the materials right now and only had a few bottles in my bag at that moment.
Flare glanced at the vials and suddenly, unquestionably, downed the elixir in one gulp. Then Flare’s color immediately improved, and the contracted Flame Spirit recovered from his debilitated state.
“I’ll owe you a debt, Carol.”
“I’m just returning the favor, okay?”
