177 – Any plan is perfect
I never dreamed that my name would come out of Minel’s mouth.
That’s how many people can think of her as Ceres Reinhardt by looking at her now.
Of the three of them, there is probably no one who doesn’t know that the proud blonde hair is gone. In the first place, at the point of covering her hair, that wouldn’t matter, but in fact, looking at this now, it’s someone’s appearance.
How many people can say with certainty who is who when they are wearing a robe that only shows their ankles.
Even magic power has been changed for a long time.
After imprinting a new magic circuit, his body shape completely changed into a demon, and then accepting Lucifer’s curse, the unique magic engraved on his body also bloomed into a completely different unique magic, not the ‘fire’ he originally had.
Even if he sensed it with magic, he wouldn’t be able to recognize that she was Ceres Reinhardt.
It should be.
“What are you talking about. Minel?”
“Iknow, right. Why does Ceres Reinhardt’s name appear here?”
That’s what I mean!!
Ceres, despairing of the current situation in her heart, tries to change her voice with magic, but takes a fresh look at the three people in front of her eyes.
Even if Minel is second, the remaining two are a problem.
The second daughter of a special class lord and elemental family.
One is a monster among the monsters recognized by Lucifer in relation to the curse, and the other is the second daughter of a count family that is directly under the Reinhardt family in terms of magic skills.
… Whether it’s magical power or curse, it’s like proving that someone else is disguised, even if it’s not Ceres Reinhardt.
“… .”
That’s why Ceres kept her mouth shut and lowered her head, so luckily there was no glare.
Ceres let out a small sigh as it was a situation where attention was drawn to Minelle who brought up Ceres’ name rather than Ceres himself.
“No, it smells similar to something… .”
“N-Smell?!”
Neros and Rain, who were listening to Minel’s words, took a step back in surprise, but Ceres was rather stiff and could not do anything.
Who can recognize a person by smell?
It is not even possible for many dogs to distinguish people by smell.
But humans did it. A normal human being… ..
No matter how strong the five senses are with magical power, is it actually possible to distinguish the smell of a person’s flesh?
It was full of doubts, but it was impossible to deny what had already happened, so instead of using magic, Ceres changed her voice as much as possible to answer them.
“Ceres Reinhardt… You mistook me for such a wicked woman!?”
Oh, I ate it.
Ceres tried to exhale in the best possible tone, but it was only a falsetto that anyone who had known Ceres for a long time could tell.
If the opponents in front were only Rein and Neros, they might have barely been able to get past the suspicion, but the opponent was Minel, who identified Ceres only by smell.
“… After all, you are Ceres.”
It was like that.
It was impossible to fool Minel with Ceres’ sloppy falsification, and in the end, Ceres closed her eyes tightly and removed the robe she was wearing.
If Minelle struggles at the point where she pulls out her sword, her death is certain.
If that’s the case, it’s best to just give up and get caught.
“uh?! It was real!!!”
Neros pointed to Ceres, who had taken off his robe, and looked at Minelle in amazement.
If I had recognized it by the voice, I would have said yes, but I never thought I would have recognized it by the real smell… .
“What are you staring at?
“… Why do you distinguish people by smell?”
After uttering the words, Neros stared at Minel, but Minel seemed to be fine. No, rather, he opened his mouth as he looked at Neros as if it was strange.
“Can’t people tell the difference by smell?”
“Crazy, who could do that!?”
Neros sighed at Minel’s crazy common sense remarks, and slowly raised the curse and pressed Ceres’ body in an instant.
“Ugh!!”
In an instant, Ceres pressed her head to the floor without resisting the curse that weighed down her body.
If you go crazy, you die… If you bring out Lucifer, you can win, but of course you can’t show a very good impression if you carry the spirit yourself, and Lucifer has a history of fighting Lian in the past.
If I couldn’t kill all three of them, it was clear that the plan I had been making would go to waste. Besides, if I can’t kill all three, I’ll be the one to die.
Then, after being caught quietly like this, if you look for an opportunity… .
“Should I kill you?”
Ceres flinched at the word porridge that came out of Neros’ mouth and lifted his head slightly.
I think I’ll kill you, but… This seemed like a bit of a possibility.
It was natural for Nero to look down on him with murderous eyes, and Minel was also emitting magic power with the momentum to lower her right now with her sword raised.
If one person asks if you’re okay because two people are ready to kill, that’s a bit… .
“Well, will the young master be happy if I kill him?”
“I don’t know.”
Before thinking about what to do with my life, I am thinking about whether I will be praised by Lian.
My hamstrings tingled at the remark that seemed to regard my life as if it were a coupon that could be used when receiving praise. It’s not that I’m going to kill you, but I’m in a position to think about how to survive luckily.
[Lou, Lucifer! What should I do at a time like this!?]
[…] … .]
Lucifer pondered for a moment at Ceres’ response to Lucifer’s request for help.
It’s fun to help here, but it’s a lot different from the plan I thought, but it wasn’t bad in the end. Originally, it was supposed to sacrifice Ceres to strengthen itself and then appear in front of Rian, but this is a good opportunity to skip all the intermediate steps.
[…] Lucifer?]
The way back using this.
The way to keep your mouth shut, watch Ceres being captured or die, and hide in her corpse.
It was obvious even if I didn’t think about which one was better.
[Lucifer!!!]
[Ceres, this is the price.]
Responding to Ceres’ words, Lucifer moved into the image of Ceres with a smiley tone and whispered softly inside her body.
[Where do you survive well?]
Originally, I didn’t intend to pay for the contract in this way, but it was enough if I could enjoy this entertainment.
It’s a level that needs a little change, but… Are you satisfied with what you see now?
[Lucifer? Lucifer!?]
Hearing Ceres’ voice earnestly calling his name, Lucifer quietly closed his eyes, and her vision assimilated with Ceres’.
What a sight.
White magic and red magic shimmered, and a curse spewed out between them.
None of them are inferior in ability.
Compared to the dragon, it may not be insignificant, but the target of comparison is wrong. If you compare it to a fair amount of ordinary knights, even if all three of them are overkill, they can be called heroes.
The level was high enough, and the overall level was high, probably because the feat had been achieved.
Even if there’s just one person, it’s at a level where you can turn someone like Ceres into a mere fly in front of your eyes… How should I deal with this situation with as many as three people?
“… .”
Ceres stopped calling Lucifer and opened his mouth while looking at them.
“help me… .”
“What if you don’t like it?”
Ceres trembled at Minel’s answer, which was denied without hesitation.
I thought a negative answer would come back, but I didn’t think it would be cut off with a single knife like this… A situation that makes even Lucifer, who was watching the game in his mind, crave popcorn.
There was no way Ceres could overcome this situation.
“You must know the humiliation I have been through, right?”
“… If it was engraved, I feel really sorry… Kuok!!”
As Minel’s foot climbed onto Ceres’ back, Minel’s mana spread through Ceres’ entire body and cut through the inside of her body in an instant.
Minel, who gave her enough pain not to receive a shock death, raised her foot once more, turned her magical energy into a marble and struck it down, while at the same time exploding it inside Ceres’ body.
Quaang!!!
“Don’t give a damn. If that was the only fault of your years, it would have ended with just cutting off the relationship… I felt betrayed, but they didn’t make me do anything very dangerous, even though they engraved their mark on me.”
The problem is that Ceres became obsessed with her and tried to bring her back to the Reinhardt family by grabbing her by the collar after cutting off the relationship, and also using the family’s power.
Not only that, but he also harmed Lian.
“The lord was killed, so why should a knight hesitate?”
Especially if it is the target of revenge.
“Oh, wait… !!?”
Having said that, Minel raised her feet once more, and Lane and Neros quietly turned their backs while covering Nemea’s eyes, who were watching her with sparkling eyes.
“Babies shouldn’t see things like that.”
Kwaaang!!!
“Eyes off.”
Watching the fountain of blood splash from behind, Neros moved his steps.
