Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 192.3

But it would be difficult to rebuild the town of Cutlass, where most of the residents had left, so Jesha decided to accompany us to Khalfaan Empire.

Apparently, Jesha had a letter from Camile addressed to Ron, and she intended to go to the Khalfaan Empire to be hired by Ron, who was a nobleman.

When Jesha asked me how we were going to reach that place, my Master and I looked at each other for a moment, and then answered in unison.

“”We are going through Reiz Veil.””

“I knew it!”

There were two routes from the Demon Fortress to the Cutlass area.

One route was through the desert, avoiding the ancient ruins of Reiz Veil, but it was not realistic because crossing the desert with no protection would require a certain amount of equipment and preparation, and it would also take a long time.

The other route involved breaking through the center of the Reiz Veil, which an adventurer’s legs could get through in a few weeks. In fact, Master and Nero have been through there.

There were many dangerous monsters, but if you could kill them well, they could be used as food, and the ingredients for potions grew wildly over there. The decaying buildings could also be a good place to hide and rest.

The reason why Jesha and I could not escape from the Demon Fort was that we knew that it would be difficult for the two of us to cross the desert or break through the ruins. But if Master and Nero joined us, the story would be different.

Even with Master and Nero, we would not be able to take on all the monsters, and Nero’s running ability would force us through, but with Jesha, who could act as a shield, protecting Master, Nero would be able to go all out, and the danger of breaking through itself would be reduced.

The idea of riding on Nero’s back and forcing his way through again was scrapped because Nero refused to let Jesha ride on his back.

With three people on board, we would have lost mobility anyway, and Nero would not have allowed Master to ride on his back in the first place if it had not been for what happened to me. As expected, neither my Master nor I were so heartless enough to just leave Jesha behind.

In any case, since the Master and Nero would not be allowed into the Khalfaan empire, it would be just me and Jesha entering from there.

We were supposed to split up with Master and the others at Cutlass, and while I could go with them there, I opted to return to Elena as soon as I could.

“…Well, I guess we don’t have a choice. I came out here without much preparation, you know?”

“Well…. If we go there, and we met any Demons along, and they found out that I was still alive, they might say that I was a traitor and attack me. Especially those that were close to their Clan Leaders.”

The Master joins in Jesha’s rambling as she lets out a sigh.

The reason why we, the winners of the Selection Ceremony, left the Demon Stronghold as if we were fleeing because there was a possibility that some demon group that would not tolerate such a half-baked settlement would attack us. Some of the military, especially the belligerents, might move to retaliate.

Master told me later that she invited Aishe to come with her once. And yet, Aishe stayed behind, partly to keep the army at bay.

“So…Aria.”

“Hmm?”

“You’re Rank 5 now?”

“Yes.”

Was that why Jesha was looking at me so many times?
