"What's wrong?"

Flora noticed something was off with Valentina. The usually reckless Miss Giant Dragon was surprisingly nervous.

"Did you discover something?"

What was Valentina sensing?

"Uh!"

Miss Hungry Dragon snapped back to reality upon hearing her companion's voice and said somewhat unsure, "I... I feel like someone is watching me?"

She wasn't entirely sure if she had just experienced an illusion or really sensed danger.

Even the Sage in her mind couldn't provide an answer.

At this moment, Kreti, completely wrapped up and wearing a lace-patterned black mask with only her eyes exposed, spoke up sarcastically, "Watching you? What are you talking about? Aren't all those people over there looking at you?"

She pursed her lips, indicating for Valentina to look at the crowd at the city gate — though she completely forgot that her lips were hidden behind the mask.

But Valentina understood Kreti's gesture and looked towards the residents by the city gate.

"Hmm..."

The three of them had been waiting here for a while as instructed by Herbert, attracting quite the crowd's attention.

Their gazes weren't lascivious or greedy, mostly filled with curiosity, wondering why the three of them just stayed outside instead of entering the city.

Were they waiting for someone?

Or perhaps they thought their faith wasn't devout enough?

"No, I'm saying... that gaze feels very dangerous." Valentina pursed her lips, wanting to defend herself.

She's naive but not stupid!

She could distinguish whether such a cold gaze came from some powerful presence, definitely not from this bunch of weaklings.

"Valentina, stop talking."

Miss Hungry Dragon wanted to say something, but Flora lightly tugged at her, reminding her, "Don't forget where we are."

"This is Solantis."

Feeling a strong presence watching from the shadows?

Is that strange?

This is the Holy City of Radiance, after all.

It would be more strange if there weren't real powerhouses guarding it!

"If you really sensed a dangerous gaze, it's likely a warning for us not to cause trouble."

A warning, or a knock on the head.

As for why only Valentina felt it, probably because she is the strongest, recognized as the leader of the group.

"...Alright."

Although Valentina still felt that the explanation wasn't quite right, she reluctantly accepted it.

Let it be for now.

She's not thinking further, not because she can't come up with an answer, nor because she doesn't like thinking — really!

But because Herbert is about to return.

Seeing the two figures coming from afar, Valentina flashed a bright smile.

It seems everything went smoothly on Herbert's side.

They had made adequate preparations beforehand, setting up various signals.

If Herbert was wearing his helmet, it meant the Holy City wasn't safe for them, and they should be ready to flee at any moment.

If Herbert took off his helmet, it meant everything was fine, and they could safely enter the city.

Even though they had only been apart for a short while, it was still a touching reunion.

However, there seem to be quite a few outsiders around.

Valentina raised an eyebrow and looked at the surrounding followers, these people kept blocking the entrance, the road necessary to enter the city.

Miss Hungry Dragon didn't try to push through but instead "viciously" glared in that direction.

What are you staring at?

Keep staring! Keep staring!

Move aside, move aside!

She forgot that she was dressed as a maid, making her originally fierce glare lose several degrees of intimidation.

Yes.

This was another condition Herbert and Valentina agreed upon: for her to wear a maid outfit.

To make her appear less threatening, Herbert went to great lengths.

Indeed, that was the reason.

It's not because he liked maid outfits!

And since she was carefully suppressing her aura, her glare appeared more like a cute, puffed-up kitten's, causing some older followers to smile kindly at the sight.

"Tch!"

Seeing that her "fierce" glare didn't budge them, Valentina pursed her lips and snorted in frustration.

"Hmph!"

Her slightly annoyed voice intimidated the onlookers at the gate, with the gust blowing many off balance, causing them to close their eyes against the flying sand.

Bishop Evelyn, upon landing on the gate, transformed back to human form, gently landing amid the crowd without harming anyone.

Herbert continued flying, reaching the three just in time to see Valentina's expanding aura blowing the wide nun outfits of the two Monster Girls behind her.

He witnessed the aura outlining the true forms of the Demons and Devils hidden under their robes.

The unobstructed plains and winding hills.

Valentina: "Hmhm~"

Kreti: "Eh?"

Herbert: "Uh??"

Flora: "Hmm!!?"

The perpetrator was completely unaware of her "good deed," still humming while watching the crowd topple over like wheat.

The affluent victims merely gave a nonchalant sound, not taking the matter to heart.
