Plain Girl Hero of Darkness
Battle Under Dress - (2)

Sofitia's views were fixed on one part of the report. Silence enveloped the Aqualumin Palace, and a moment later, Zephyr broke that silence.

“-I see your point, Holy Angel. You're worried about that Death God girl, Olivia Valedstorm, right?”

There was a sinister light in the Black Crystal that was a substitute for the Zephyr's left eye. Sofitia said with an awkward smile:

"I'm busted. Aki just thought that I had underestimated the prowess of the Death God."

As Sofitia and Lara predicted, the Second Army was forced to the brink by the Sun Knights. But, the intervention of a girl reversed that impossible battle.

The first army to defeat the Sun Knight was stronger than expected, but they were paler compared to the halo of the Death God.

(You donut that blazes over the angel's head? It's called 'hello'.)

(I only plan to benefit from the battle of both sides, and not expect this.)

The God of Death was a person who could reverse an already shattered battle. He would be a reliable ally, but if he were an enemy, the Holy Mecians would suffer greatly.

Sofitia will not interfere in the affairs of the Death God, but given the problems that may arise in the future, further information needs to be collected.

“Holy Angel, I have seen many strong people during my stint. Even so, the girl was not normal. Death seemed to follow him everywhere, and his skill with the sword was like a nightmare in real life. To be honest, I even suspected that he was truly human. I'm ashamed to say this, but this is the first time I've trembled in fear."

“—Zephyr, are you suggesting that we not mess with the God of Death?”

Lara wants to talk, but is stopped by Sofitia. Zephyr slowly shook his head:

“No, gathering intelligence is Owl's duty, and we will do this for our best task. If you want, I can investigate all the interests of the girl. But notice that we don't have the Heat Haze's combat power."

Zephyr ended it with “It's a shame for me to say this.” But from Sofitia's point of view, Owl was better at intelligence gathering than Heat Haze, so not being proficient at combat was a trivial matter.

"So you're saying we need to send someone capable enough to ascertain the power of Miss God of Death?"

"As you say, Holy Angel."

As Zephyr lowered her head, Amelia who was sitting opposite him said:

“Holy Angel, please send me. My magic is perfectly suited to test the strength of the opponent."

"A humiliation! It hasn't been long since the failure of your last mission, know where you are."

Lara. Amelia is good at bondage magic, and Sofitia feels she is a good choice, however ...

“Your enthusiasm makes me happy, Amelia, but your arm that was injured during the surprise attack with Lord Sieger has not healed yet, right?”

“Y-Yah..”.

Amelia tried to hide her bandaged left arm under the table. When he saw that, a young man with delicate features beside him— Senior Chiliarch Johann Strider said with a smile:

“We the Witches are few in number. If the Meccian Holy Nation wants to rule the continent, it will need all of us. It's nice to have you pushed, Amelia, but you can only go on missions when your condition is perfect— Right, Holy Angel?”

"Fufu, that's what I want to say."

Sofitia smiled at Johann who expressed her thoughts, while Amelia glared at Johann with a displeased face. Upon seeing his reaction, Johann's smile deepened.

“—So, Holy Angel, let me investigate the God of Death.”

"You?"

"Yes, Miss. It is said that the God of Death is an incredible beauty, and I want to see it for myself."

Johann said indifferently.

“So... I leave it to you. But the full power of the Death God was unknown. He's an expert with his sword, but I don't think that's all he's capable of."

“All that…? He hasn't shown you everything he's capable of?"

Johann furrowed his brows.

"I think so. If it's dangerous, back off immediately."

Although he himself said that, Sofitia could not explain it either. Magicians had abilities that surpassed normal humans, but they were not invincible. In fact, Amelia lost to Felixus who could not use Magic.

But of course, the strongest man in the Empire was the worst opponent he could meet.

"Is this the instinct of the Holy Angel?"

“Compared to the instinct of a Holy Angel, it is closer to the instinct of a woman.”

“An instinct of a woman, yes. Frankly, I often give in to the instincts of women."

From noblewomen to servants, Johann's affairs encompassed a wide range of women. As she crossed her arms calmly, Amelia looked at him with a look of disdain. Sofitia who amused said:

“I might sound a little chatty, but I'll say this again. Pull back if there is danger. This retreat is prioritized."

"I understand, I don't mean to take back what I told Amelia."

“Please wait, Holy Angel. If we want to investigate the greatness of the God of Death, instead of Johann, leave it to me, Lara Mira Crystal."

Lara who had been silent said loudly while glaring at Johann. Before Sofitia could speak, the annoyed Johann rebuked:

"Holy Legate Lara, you are the supreme commander of the Sacred Winged Legion. It's another matter during wartime, but how can we send a commander-in-chief just to look for someone's abilities?"

“Not just any simple person, but a powerful person known as the God of Death. Since we don't know his true abilities, then sending out our strongest fighter makes more sense."

“That's not a good enough reason. I can investigate the prowess of the Death God, but I cannot command the Sacred Winged Legion. Please consider your position."

Johann's advice made Lara's face bitter, as her words made sense. Lara could not argue with him.

“Johann right. Lara, you are the commander-in-chief of our army, and also the trump card of the Holy Nation of Mekia. Please realize that."

“... Forgive me for my rash actions.”

Lara lowered her head in embarrassment.

“As long as you understand. Lara, you are not only a strong sword and a formidable shield, but also a friend."

Sofitia said with a bright smile on Lara.

“-You flatter me with your noble words. I, Lara Mira Crystal, will remember this, and devote my life to Holy Angel. "

Lara shed tears, left her chair and knelt down. Sofitia nodded at his loyalty.

"Please sit down, Lara— All right, Johann, remember not to push yourself. Zephyr, please give him your support."

Johann saluted with two fingers while Zephyr bowed respectfully. Sofitia got up from her chair, lifted her staff over their heads, and prayed:

"May the blessings of the Goddess Citresia be with you."
