Rose feigned composure: "Yes, hero."
"Don't they need to go home?"
Given the large number of people, temporary accommodations may not be arranged quickly.
If we can let them stay at home for a while, it will also reduce our stress.
While I would like to provide temporary accommodation for everyone, it would be even better if there were spaces to share the burden.
"We need to consider it from multiple perspectives," Annie said.
"Reporting to the Hero, they are all unfortunate children..."
At this point, Rose pretended to be sad.
"They have no home to return to, no parents, and they have no choice but to do these not-so-noble jobs."
This is their only home.
A perfect fix!
“Okay.” An Yi nodded.
From Rose's perspective, he had simply confirmed the situation.
But if An Yi had a specific tone, the sentence would be "Okay!". Part Two
No social life! No friends! No parents!
Is this for real?! (Shan)
Hmm... saying it's a good thing doesn't quite feel right. (Sigh)
Sword Hero: Your Highness, are you asleep? (Ling)
Holy Hero: I'm not asleep! I'm not asleep! I'm not asleep! I'm not asleep! What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong?!
Sword Hero: Now go and gather the believers. I will have Miss Miluko take you to a place later. We'll talk about the rest when you arrive.
Holy Hero: Alright!! Alright!! I'm coming!!
……
Lycorina lay in bed, hugging her blanket, tears streaming down her face.
They finally let me play!!
……
“Mr. Layton, go and gather all the believers. We’ll start repairing the shop tonight,” Annie said.
[Sword Hero: Mr. Layton, pretend to leave. Don't hesitate, but don't go far.]
Layton nodded: "Okay, I'll go now."
Then, Annie turned to look at Rose.
"Manager, bring all the staff and come with me," Annie said.
Rose didn't ask any more questions, and turned around to wave to the others.
The waitresses nodded, not giving it much thought.
Everyone went upstairs with An Yi.
An Yi casually pushed open a room door and let them in, saying, "We need to check if the other rooms have been damaged, so you'll have to stay here for now."
Having dispelled the women's doubts, An Yi let them all go inside before leaving the room.
Soon, An Yi returned.
The door was pushed open, and An Yi walked in.
But behind him were four succubi bound by black slime.
Seeing that everyone was in the room, they seemed to understand something.
So I gave an awkward smile.
“That…Nine…we’ve exposed ourselves. The Eighth Warrior already knows our true identities.” (0∞№5［≥)
All the succubi were taken aback.
Exposed?!
However, the next moment, black slime instantly spread out from An's feet, covering the entire room in just a few seconds.
The room, which was originally quite bright, was plunged into darkness in an instant!
"?!"
Rose was horrified!
Chapter 64 One Room, 150 Lycorinas
Rose immediately realized what was happening.
She was tricked!
All the succubi present were outmaneuvered!
A cunning hero!
Just then, two openings appeared in the doorway of the room, which was covered in slime, bringing light into the pitch-black room.
However, this light brought no hope to the succubi.
The tall, brave man who had just left, carrying a candle, walked in through one of the openings.
On the other side was a petite girl dressed in a black dress.
She stood next to An Yi, which means she is likely another hero as well.
After the two entered the room, the slime closed up again, trapping everyone in the same space.
"We've searched all the rooms...we didn't find any other demons," the petite girl said weakly from the side.
“I’ve confirmed it; it’s not outside either,” said the tall, brave man.
"Of course, because all the succubi are already here."
The succubi thought to themselves.
Not reconciled!
All of our kind have fallen into the trap set by these heroes!
Despite being one of the most intelligent races among demons, they fell for such a simple trap!
It can only be said that it was because they had no suspicion of the hero.
They were treated like ordinary good people!
"What is the purpose of gathering us all together?"
Rose's expression turned serious as she stared at Annie and asked.
Compared to the big guy next to him who keeps talking about "men," "justice," and "protecting humanity," and the little girl next to him who seems a bit hesitant when she speaks.
Clearly, An Yi, who lured all the succubi here, is the most dangerous.
If I'm not mistaken, he should be the one who orchestrated this incident.
"We are heroes who are fighting against the demons. Do we need to ask what we want to do?" An Yi asked calmly.
Rose felt a chill run down her spine.
The man's eyes remained unmoved, as if all the succubi before him were dying men.
Do you need any emotions when talking to a group of demons who are about to turn into corpses?
Rose clenched her delicate hands, stepped forward to stand in front of all the succubi, and looked directly at Annie;
"May I tell you your name, sir?"
“Any Karl,” Any said.
He didn't foolishly reveal his title as the "Sword Hero".
If the other side doesn't even know what weapon he's using, how can they come up with a countermeasure?
There's no rule in this world about explaining your abilities before a fight.
If anything, it was to mislead the opponent.
“Any Karl, Lord Karl.”
Although I don't know how we succubi have offended you, there is one thing I want to say.
We succubi are not demons who kill.
For decades, we have simply maintained our normal eating and tavern business.
"I wonder, could you spare our lives?" Rose explained to Annie, pleadingly.
Before Annie could answer, Layton preemptively questioned, "Who knows if you're telling the truth or not?"
“This…we can investigate the accidental deaths and missing persons in the town!” Rose said immediately. “If we were a race that liked to kill, then there would definitely be a lot of unexplained deaths and disappearances in the town.”
If the investigation results are indeed like that, we would have no complaints even if we were killed.
Layton frowned slightly, pinched his chin, and pondered for a while.
Indeed, if they enjoy killing, the number of unexplained deaths or disappearances in the town would be far greater than in other towns.
There's also the possibility that they're deliberately controlling the number, but... if they enjoy killing, why bother opening a small tavern here to kill people?
Like other demons, why would they just invade human territory and kill to their heart's content, instead of being stingy and killing a few people every year to maintain an accidental death rate?
is it necessary?
The fact that he enjoys killing and hides away to run a tavern is inherently contradictory.
"They're just trying to buy us time by sending us to investigate... right?" Miluko muttered under her breath, but everyone in the quiet room could hear her.
Layton shuddered.
Yes! They're just saying that to buy time!
