"Master, we're being watched."
Alpha came down from Ayato's back, a look of vigilance on her face.
"Haha, is there a fight to be had?"
"Don't be impulsive, Delta. The other party doesn't seem to have any ill intent."
"Beta, none of your business."
As Beta and Delta argued, Ayato's brow also raised slightly.
Targeted as soon as they arrived in the elven kingdom.
It didn't seem like the Cult.
And the target... didn't seem to be him.
Ayato looked at Alpha, a thoughtful look on his face.
"Brother Ayato, no matter what they're thinking, let me grab them and interrogate them. Then we'll know everything."
Delta was eager to try, already getting down from Ayato's neck.
She stared intently at a corner of the street.
As if.
As soon as Ayato gave the order, she would attack without hesitation.
"No need. Let's go about our business."
"Ah, fine."
Delta muttered, somewhat disappointed, and followed behind Ayato.
"Alpha, where is the target?"
Alpha also withdrew her gaze and began to lead the way.
"Whew, that was close. I almost thought I was discovered."
In the corner, a figure wiped cold sweat.
Just now.
She had the illusion of being targeted by a magical beast.
Even though it was just a beastman girl...
Her aura was that dangerous.
"But that elf... could very well be the one the Sword Saint is looking for. I need to get the message out."
"What... should I do?"
Inside a castle room, only the soft sound of sighs echoed.
Epsilon pressed one hand to her other arm, a pained expression occasionally appearing on her face.
How could she be a Demon Possession?
But after consulting countless records and seeing the changes in her arm...
Everything told her.
The demonization was all true.
She was very flustered and didn't know what to do.
Because.
Even if she could hide it now...
As the demonization grew worse, she would become an ugly monster.
Then.
Not only would she be worse than dead, but she would also be rejected by everyone.
Hum!
Just then, a dazzling light shone before her.
Under Epsilon's watch.
A magic circle slowly appeared.
Her pupils contracted violently, and she abruptly stood up from her seat.
"Don't be nervous. It looks to me like you need some help."
A voice sounded.
The figures of one man and three women came into view.
Two elves, one beastman, one human.
What kind of combination was this?
Epsilon slowly moved toward the door, already preparing to escape.
Whoosh!
But after a few steps.
She felt a blur before her eyes, and a figure blocked the door.
Beta wagged her finger. "Leaving just like that when guests arrive... isn't good behavior."
"I've never heard of guests who come uninvited."
Epsilon retorted, then said warily, "I warn you, don't try anything. The security here is very tight."
"If I shout, countless guards will come."
"Don't be so impulsive."
Looking at Epsilon, the corner of Ayato's mouth curled up. "After all, Miss Epsilon..."
"You wouldn't want your identity as a Demon Possession to be discovered, would you?"
Eh?
Ehhhh?!
Epsilon's expression froze, her body staggering as she nearly fell.
Exposed.
How could the other party know about this?
She had disguised herself so well.
Aside from herself, not even her personal maid knew.
She gritted her teeth, but despair inevitably appeared in her eyes.
Once this secret was exposed...
Everything would be over for her.
Seeing Epsilon in this state.
A look of complexity appeared in Alpha and Beta's eyes.
In her place...
Probably every Demon Possession would be no better than Epsilon.
Because Demon Possession...
In the common knowledge of the world...
Were beings to be reviled by everyone.
Even friends and family were the same.
Delta curled her lip. "Tch. Such a coward. Are you really qualified to be our companion?"
Alpha: "..."
Beta: "..."
Alright, not everyone.
At least next to them...
There was Delta, a freak who didn't understand common sense.
"Ahem."
Ayato coughed and said, "Actually, you don't need to be so nervous."
"After all, I have no ill intent toward you."
Hearing this, Epsilon smiled bitterly. "I don't know who you are..."
"But in this situation, don't lie to me."
Breaking into a house uninvited, having your men block the door...
And no ill intent? No one would believe that.
