While Lotte was still attracting the attention of Angeline and the other two girls, Ella walked behind the shade of a tree, switched to the state of a Loli God, and used the "Message" magic on Camisia who was far away in Kepa City. After feeling the connection was established, Ella tried to speak.
"Is this Camisia? I'm Ella. I encountered bandits at the border of Kepa City. I need you, Camisia—"
Chapter 5: Target, Holy Academy!
However, before Ella could finish her words, a shocked voice came from Camisia's side.
"What! A bandit actually dared to attack the princess? I understand, princess, I'm coming right away."
"Eh?"
Ella blinked, then thought carefully about what she had said before - perhaps Camisia misunderstood that she was attacked by bandits.
Ella quickly added, "Because I always feel that Camisia will bring that group of black guards."
"No, no, that's not what I meant, Camisia—"
boom--
Before Ella could finish her words, a red meteor appeared in the sky and fell in the center of the bandits as Ella stared with wide eyes.
Camisia, holding a giant sword and wearing a dreamy white wedding dress, stood in the open field and looked around. After confirming that the thieves were no longer able to resist, she used the "communication" magic to speak to Ella.
"Princess, the target has been eliminated. Where are you?"
Hiding behind a tree, Ella stared at the meteorite crater created by Camisia, speechless. She interrupted the communication magic, switched to the state of a blonde healer, and walked out of the shade of the tree.
"Um...Camisia..."
"Phew, thank goodness, Princess, you're not hurt."
Seeing Ella walk out from behind the shade of the tree unharmed, Camisia breathed a sigh of relief, retracted the Sword of Disorder, walked out of the crater formed by the huge impact, and waved her hand to clear away the smoke and dust that blocked her vision.
Ella carefully moved to Camisia's side.
"Um... Camisia... Actually, I wanted you to help me deal with these bandits. I encountered them on the road earlier, and after I stunned them with a stun grenade, I didn't know what to do, so I used communication magic to ask you..."
Ella raised her head and looked at Camisia with a somewhat frightened look. She had a feeling that she would be scolded for asking Camisia to personally go out just for such a small matter.
But Camisia didn't seem to care about it and glanced at the dozens of thieves lying scattered on the ground.
"I'm glad you're not hurt, Princess. Leave these bandits to the Royal Guards who will arrive shortly."
"H-This is the Acting Demon Lord Camisia-sama?!"
Perhaps because they were frightened by the noise of Camisia landing, the two civilian girls and Angeline were pulled away by Luty to a place far away from Camisia. However, the demon girl seemed to have discovered Camisia's identity, shouted in surprise, and quickly ran to Camisia's side.
"And the princess... Princess-sama... could it be that you are the Demon Queen Elelaya Not-Mistin-sama that the adventurers have been talking about? Rei, Rei greets the Demon Queen!"
The girl who called herself Reki finished her panicked words and looked like she was about to kneel down. Ella quickly stepped forward to hold her up.
"Uh, it's not that surprising. Besides, I'm still in the state of not yet a Demon Lord, so just treat me as an ordinary person. Also, Camisia, these two are the ones who were persecuted by the bandits this time. They returned to the Demon Territory because they want to find work. Can you arrange some work for them?"
Hearing about the work, the demon girl who was helped up by Ella suddenly became nervous.
Camisia thought about it and nodded.
"Well, right now, Kepa City is in need of people who can cook for the workers. It'll be hard work, but the wages are around two gold coins per month. We'll take care of their food and lodging. If that's okay with you—"
"No, no problem! I actually have two gold coins! I really want to do this kind of work forever!"
The two girls' eyes suddenly lit up.
"What were the standards for your previous work?"
Ella couldn't help but ask. Having never worked outside of the Holy Academy, she was curious about the standards elsewhere. After all, when she'd previously worked at the Holy Academy's pastry shop, even though room and board weren't provided, she'd still earned at least seven gold coins a month working on her own. But now, Camisia's mention of just two gold coins had made the two girls' eyes sparkle. Ella couldn't help but worry about their daily lives.
"We used to work at an inn, mainly washing dishes and cleaning rooms. Although the manager was very kind, we only earned five silver coins after a month of hard work..."
"Huh? Five silver coins? Is that really enough to live on?"
"Even so, this job was something we fought so hard to get... Compared to being a prostitute on the streets because of lack of work... This is already a great job."
"Ah...then I'll leave them in Camisia's care."
According to what the girl said, the living standards in countries outside of the Holy Academy should be quite low... In that case, it makes sense that there were only a few copper coins when the girl opened the package.
"Yes."
Camisia nodded to Ella, then turned her gaze towards the two girls.
"The Demon King's Guards will be here to deal with these thieves. Just follow them. I'll explain the work to them."
"Eh? Camisia, what about you? Where are you going?"
Finding that Camisia didn't seem to want to go back with the two girls, Ella couldn't help but feel alert.
"To protect the princess, I will go to the Holy Academy with her. Since we are at the border right now, it is very convenient to provide support, but if we were in another country's territory, it would be difficult."
"Uh, actually, you don't have to go with us, ahahaha..."
"No, I have to go with the princess no matter what. If you feel any inconvenience, please just ignore me. Camisia promises that she won't do anything unnecessary."
Camisia stared into Ella's eyes, her expression as if she was repeating what she had just said.
"Even if I were to treat Camisia as nothing, it's simply impossible."
Even if Camisia tried to eliminate her presence, as long as he knew in his mind that she was by his side, he would feel like he was being watched no matter what he did. Instead of that... it would be better to let Camisia catch up openly, and then use this as an excuse to send her away at the critical moment - although it was a bit excessive, there was nothing he could do.
Feeling somewhat helpless at Camisia's gaze that would never turn back, Ella nodded.
"Okay, but what about the demon clan? Can Dean handle it all by himself?"
"Hmm... I'll let the military advisor assist Dean in this regard. Regarding your other state, Dean asked if you could give him a lock of hair as a research specimen. Perhaps we can uncover your true identity."
The other state should refer to the Loli God with silver hair and purple eyes.
Thinking of this, Ella glanced at Angelica, who was looking at Camisia's plump breasts with envy.
"Wow, Angelina, what's with that expression on your face?"
"It's so nice... to have such plump breasts..."
"Is that so? For a warrior like me, this would be a bit of a hindrance... But if I hold the princess in my arms like this, wouldn't it be more comfortable..."
Camisia's voice suddenly became quieter after she had only said half of her words, and by the end it was almost so clear that only she could hear it.
Although she was very concerned about Camisia's dangerous remarks, Ella unconsciously felt like not wanting to explore them further and glanced at Angeline's fairy-tale girl outfit.
"Doesn't Angeline also have—um, feminine charm?"
Although Angelini looked envious when she saw Camisia's plump breasts, in fact, Angelini's breasts should be quite good for her age. They are probably better than Lotte's and worse than Iris's. But considering her age, they might be bigger than Iris. As for Camisia... that's already out of the ordinary.
After hearing Ella's words, the optimistic Angelina quickly shook off her envious expression and replaced it with a confident look.
"Indeed... I'm only fourteen now, and I'll definitely grow to the level of Miss Kamisia in the future."
"Come to think of it, Angelique doesn't seem to treat nobles any differently. Aren't you afraid?"
Compared with the respectful appearance of the two girls on the other side, Angelica's generous and lively appearance is completely different from that of two other girls in two different worlds. Based on the attitude of commoners towards nobles that Ella saw in this world, Angelica's behavior even made Ella think that Angelica was deliberately lying about being a commoner.
"Eh? Why are you scared? Ella-chan and Camisia-san don't look like the kind of people who would deliberately give others trouble, right?"
[So you're from the Appearance Association...?]
"Princess, the Royal Guards are here. Let's get ready and use the teleportation scroll to go directly to the Holy Academy. Judging from the time, we won't be able to make it in time without teleportation magic."
Camisia cast her eyes towards the birds that kept flying up in the distance. They must be caused by the march of the Demon King's guards.
"Well, let's go pick up Nina now. By the way, where's Angelene? Where is Angelene going?"
"Me? I'm going to the Holy Academy too?"
Chapter 6: Mysterious Work
* On the evening of September 21, 6186, at 8:19.45 PM, Holy Academy
"Magic is really convenient..."
Looking out the car window at the city wall in front of her that was almost hundreds of meters high, Ella murmured softly.
Through the teleportation scroll used by Camisia, Ella arrived at the Holy Academy from the Western Demon Territory in just a blink of an eye. Although this was not the first time she had seen such a scene, she could not help but admire it once she experienced it again.
Angelina sat in the carriage as if she were at home, without any ladylike manners at all.
"Those bandits were truly pitiful... being tied up with ropes and dragged along the ground."
"I don't think this is something Angeline, who wants to put a stone in someone's mouth, would say..."
"How rude! Ella-chan, even I have a kind heart!"
"Yes, yes, let's take it as it is."
Ella shrugged helplessly, then straightened the slightly tilted sapphire crown.
"By the way, is Angelique also a first-year student at the Holy Academy?"
"Hmm? I'm a second-year student at the Holy Academy, huh? And my grades are pretty good."
“Eh…”
『Low-level identification technique』
[He's actually on the same level as me... No wonder he could take on so many thieves by himself. He's just a warrior, but if he were a proper magic caster, he'd have a much greater advantage in a multiplayer battle like that.]
"Where's Ella-chan? She should be a first grader, right? I heard a friend say a while ago that a genius healer appeared among the first graders. Could they be talking about Ella-chan?"
"If it's limited to first years... it would probably be me... But that's just a title they imposed. There are probably many people who are better than me, right?"
"I'm so envious... Even though you're a demon, you have such high support magic abilities. I wish I had half the healing power of little Ella."
After finishing the last bite of the fruit, Angelini stretched out her body and lay contentedly on the spacious seat in the carriage.
"Isn't there a class called the Sword Priest in the temple? It's a class that uses auxiliary magic to strengthen itself and then fights with melee weapons."
After hearing what Ella said, Angeline paused and then gave a wry smile.
"No, that's impossible. Jobs like those in the temple require chanting strengthening spells in a very short time. Without a devout faith in the One God, it's impossible. And I'm an atheist."
"Well, Angelina doesn't look like someone who can honestly hold on to her faith."
Surprisingly, this time Angelini did not refute Ella, but seemed to have accepted her fate.
"I have this awareness, so please don't discourage me anymore..."
While Ella and Angeline were talking, Luty and Camisia, who were sitting in the driver's seat, drove the carriage through the portal at the wall of the Holy Academy and arrived at the inner circle of the Holy Academy.
The usual noise echoed through the crowded streets.
"Ms. Ella, should we return the carriage to Her Highness Elise first, or should we go to the dormitory and register first?"
Lotte raised the curtain of the carriage and asked Ella.
"Let's go to Iris's place first. School hasn't started yet, so we probably can't go into the dormitory."
"OK."
The stopped carriage continued to move, but it was different from the smooth feeling before. Since the inner circle of the Holy Academy was the most prosperous economic circle in the entire continent, pedestrians walking on the road would often hinder the movement of the carriage.
Not dissatisfied with the stop-and-go sluggishness, Ella stretched her body like Angelica.
"Hey, Iris, is that Iris Charlotte Farialuci?"
Hearing the name she was concerned about, Angelini sat back up and asked Ella with her sapphire-like clear eyes.
"Yes, that's right, but I know what Angelina wants to say. She wants to know why the princess of the demon tribe and the princess of the god-man tribe have such a close relationship, right?"
An Jie Ni nodded quickly.
Looking at Angeline in front of her with her eyes wide open and a curious expression, Ella couldn't help but think that if she had animal ears and a tail on Angeline, they would probably be shaking constantly at this moment.
"The reasons behind this are too complicated. It's probably because I gave Elise a gift that was very important to her, which led to our current relationship. Of course, there are other factors involved."
As for the other factors, Ella didn't intend to say them here - to be more precise, she didn't intend to tell anyone. If others knew that the reason why Iris and she became friends was because of Iris's special fetish, it would be too embarrassing. After all, she was the one who was forced, although the time limit for that condition was only three days.
“It’s so simple…”
Angie murmured.
"Will I get a lot of money if I become friends?"
