Volume 5, Chapter 11 – Lavabelle Tower Falls!?
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Thanks to Carol’s relaxing treatment yesterday, I was able to get a good night’s sleep for the first time in a long while.
The morning after that, I woke up, got out of the bed, took a shower and ate breakfast, all that consisted of my morning routine.
At noon, I gathered everyone again for a brief meeting of our current situation.
Upon verifying the reports one by one, based on what we have summed up, there were no major incidents or accidents that happened this time.
You might say, all is well.
When the debriefing session ended, I went to the desk and did paperwork as usual.
“Haa, managing a city is more difficult than I thought. And it’s just all plain hard work”
Nearby me was Belle, also struggling with paperwork.
So even a Demon Lord who can win against a dragon by a landslide couldn’t beat a stack of documents huh.
Then, after gazing at the towering stockpile of documents higher than Belle once more, I gave another sigh.
“Just a little more patience”
Yesterday, Mayor Dalton has been informed that we were ready to receive the women-power he will give us for the management of the city.
I thought that with this, things will get a lot easier, but before that we need to do some preparations first – some documents and reference material that we’re going to use for the ‘succession’ of duties.
I was so obsessed with working about these things that when I realized, I have already crossed the deadline of submission.
Recently because of this paperwork, the points we earned became lesser than usual, but all of it was a necessary sacrifice for our lives to be better.
“Finally. With this I can now focus on doing it with women”
“Aah! Gilles, don’t stop your hands! Please seriously finish the job first before the day ends!”
“Yeah yeah, I know. Don’t get so angry”
BLAM!
While we are having such a bicker, the door of the room was opened, so fast as if it could break.
It was Dahlia who came in.
“Gilles, are you there?!”
“What happened all of a sudden?”
As soon as her eyes met mine, Dahlia approached rapidly towards me.
“We have a problem, a really big one at that! Please follow me immediately!”
She immediately grabbed my hand and started dashing.
Ah, wait! I’m also going too!”
Belle threw out the papers in her hand and followed us.
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Calm down. What happened?”
The lower part of the dungeon has been broken through.”
“That……that was fast……”
Accoding to the report this morning, Carol said that no one had reached even the 10th floor yet.
But blitzing all the way through the 10th floor and defeating the dragon in there? That was quite a skill they got there.
“It’s different. The opponent was way past through the 10th floor. By the time I left the monitor, she’s already approaching the 60th floor”
“Haa!? 60th floor? Tell me, what is that thing on the 60th floor?”
I shouted in a voice that even I was amazed by it. Is that still a woman?
Then, Dahlia answered bitterly.
“The other party this time is using Transfer magic, which rendered our defenses almost useless”
“Transfer Magic……you say?”
I stopped my thinking and listened once again.
Only Belle can use Transfer magic, which is Teleport, inside the tower.
“But then, who is it. Do you have any other idenfications of her?”
“All I could say is that she’s a young woman. I watched her disappear after casting her magic in the monitor, so I am pretty sure it was a Transfer magic.”
“……I understand. Anyway, let’s hurry”
We went to the surveillance room as fast as we could.
When we arrived, Evelyn was already inside.
“You’re finally here. We have been waiting”
“What happened to the others?”
“Still okay for now, but aside from the residents inside the accommodations going to be evacuated, if I’m going to be involved fighting with this girl, it’s going to get really pricey.”
Evelyn looked at that main monitor.
From there, over a dozen golems were gathered in a widely vacant area.
“This is the vacant area of the 85th floor, where all the remaining stocks of Elsie’s golems are kept”
“85th floor……to think she will reach that far”
Dahlia said bitterly to Evelyn’s words.
“I figured out that she will go here from realizing the pattern of her transfer magic, so I put this up as our last line of defense.”
“Can you show me the image of the other party?”
While I asked so, Evelyn regretfully shook her head.
“I can’t. I couldn’t get a clear image, as if a certain magic jamming as been cast around her. I couldn’t get a clear shot of her face”
“I see. So if she passed through here, there will be no more left, huh.”
I clenched my fist involuntarily.
The operation of the city, which has just begun to get into orbit, was about to be destroyed by the sudden intruder.
You’ve got to be kidding me. All my hard work, just to be lost like that?
“Fufu, are you scared?”
Was my change of mood noticed? Belle teased me at the side.
“Ha! Just who are you talking to? I’m the son of Katya Bain, the strongest of the Bain House, and her direct apprentice.”
I told her out loud, also to calm down my buzzing heart to these series of shocking events.
That’s right. There is no way there can be a fellow who can match me in terms of magic.
That’s why I’m gonna catch her and interrogate her on why can she use such transfer magic so freely in this dungeon after that.
“What a really bad face you are having. However, it looks really Gilles-like in a way”
Belle smiled while commenting at my face.
“Don’t worry, Gilles. It’s okay. Because when the time comes, I’ll make sure to protect you.”
I really want to have a cool retort like “How can I do something so deplorable to ask for a woman’s protection?” but then I realized that Belle has already saved me once when I was facing Evelyn.
At the right place in the right time, she was there.
“Sorry to break your mini-love world, but our enemy is now beginning her next transfer”
To those words, everyone concentrated on the image displayed on the monitor.
“The enemy appears in 5……4……3……2……1……0!!”
At the same time as the countdown expired, the center of the open area shone thinly.
I looked closely, and I realized it really was transfer magic.
At the same time as the appearance of the figure, the golems launched a 360 degree omnidirectional assault from above.
However, just before the golems come in contact with the figure, the figure shimmered in red all over.
The next moment, a swirl of fire was created at the center, swallowing all the golems that surrounded her.
Everyone held their breaths to the explosions that occurred momentarily, but I was different.
Because I know. The user of this explosive flame.
After a few seconds, the flame subsided, and the camera finally clearly captured the figure which we were unable to get a clear image before.
The girl, whose black hair is waving at the aftermath of the fire, then pointed to the camera’s direction as if she had already realized she’s being watched, then said:
““Come out of your hiding and show yourself, Demon Lord. For I, Elisa Bain will definitely destroy you!””
The girl who declared that she had come to defeat Belle – was my sister.
“Eh, that girl said Bain just now……”
Belle said, surprised.
Even though the ‘cameras’ have been newly upgraded so that they could record and transmit sounds and we were not able to test them sufficiently yet, I am sure. It was definitely the voice of my younger sister in there.
“Ah, yeah. That really is my younger sister Elisa.”
“As far as I know, she went for a long-term mission from out of the country, but because the details of the mission are classified, I wasn’t able to be informed about it. I see, so she came back already, huh.”
Evelyn supplemented my words.
Evelyn also knew because we had already met several times before this after all.
While everyone else is still on turmoil, Elisa’s words continued.
““I know that my brother, Gilles Bain, is trapped inside this tower””
“Huuh? What is she saying? Did she believe that Gilles is being held captive here?”
Dahlia stared with a face that she doesn’t understand what’s happening.
Oi, I can hear you here, you stupid sister!
““I had been preparing for the destruction of you, Demon Lord, from the very beginning – a goal set by our House since our grandmother. But to think you would lay your hands on my onii-sama first, if you want to die so much, then fine! I’ll give you the death you had been waiting for!””
“L-looks like she’s misunderstanding something……”
This time Belle looked at my direction, as she was troubled.
Hey, don’t look at me like that. I didn’t do anything!
Good grief, what exactly had happened that it had all come to this!?
I worried myself in the arrival of a really troublesome development.
