In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

"……Um."

The man paused for a few seconds, then puffed out his chest again.

"His Highness attaches great importance to this meeting, so those traveling this time are specially selected soldiers who survived the battlefield... I was originally in the resistance coalition team, and I was lucky enough to have the honor of meeting His Highness three times."

"Demon King?"

"..."

The man didn't say anything, and the woman didn't care.

He just looked at the other person's rough and sharp face that had long been worn by wind and frost, and shook his head helplessly.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that. Since we're here... let's go, I'll take you to eat something."

As the woman spoke, she prepared to pull the other person away.

The man did not really resist, but hesitated for a few seconds before speaking hesitantly.

"…Rutland's pastries are too sweet."

"That's just right!"

The Laterans would not allow anyone to question their desserts. After hearing what the Sarkaz man said, the woman immediately started to refute him.

However, before she could say a few more words, the Sarkaz man next to her seemed to have discovered something. He frowned slightly, stepped in front of the woman, and covered her completely with his body.

"who?"

He spoke, his tone solemn.

On the side, the Lateran woman also realized that something was wrong.

Although there is peace between the Sarkaz and Lateran now, the deep-rooted hostility over the years is not a problem that can be easily resolved.

If it breaks out at this time...it's actually not a big problem, but both parties may have some difficulties in their own groups.

Just as the two people hesitated, a light slowly lit up in the shadow beside them.

Not long after, a man walked out indifferently.

The Lateran woman next to her also changed her expression slightly when she saw this.

She immediately stepped forward, protected the Sarkaz behind her, and spoke quickly.

"Wait, Captain...don't be nervous!"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, the man who came out suddenly knelt on the ground.

I just lost consciousness.

This strange scene left both people present stunned for a while.

And soon, a person walked out of the darkness.

His figure caused the expressions of both of them to change suddenly.

"Aunt Maria?"

Seeing Maria in front of her, the woman breathed a sigh of relief and her expression became much more relaxed.

The man next to her looked at the woman in surprise, then turned to look at Maria.

what? !

ah? ! !

Maria...Auntie?!

this? !

The man was so stunned that he couldn't utter a word.

But fortunately, the woman at this time was completely looking at Maria and didn't care about the man's problem at this time.

After hesitating for a few moments, she turned her head and looked at her boss who had fallen to the ground beside her, then looked at Maria.

"This is……"

"He was following you...but I knocked him out."

Maria spoke calmly, then her eyes fell on the girl again.

"And... Mammy?"

Maria looked at the girl in front of her in confusion.

"Those kids called you... In fact, many people already know you by that name, and they all admire you for making such a choice at this time."

The woman chuckled, trying to cover up the man behind her.

But when she saw Maria still turned her head to look at the man, she scratched her head helplessly.

The only thing to be thankful for was that Maria did not show any fear, which meant they still had a chance to maneuver.

Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but push the man next to her.

Don’t be silly, say something first to let the other person know that you are a good person!

After elbowing her several times, the woman received no response.

And when she turned her head in confusion.

But he found that his childhood playmate's expression was changing.

what happened?

Got a bad stomach?

The woman was confused.

But the man just stared at Maria's face.

Maria-sama, wasn't she already in the sea of ​​fire during the defense of Kazdel...

So who is he seeing now?

That posture, that voice, and the ring on that hand...

what? !

"..."

Maria also noticed the change in the man's expression.

But compared to the man's surprise, Maria did not seem unusual.

She just glanced at him and turned away.

"that……"

Sakota women also choose which to say something.

But Maria spoke first.

"I've never been here..."

“Ah…ah, good!”

The woman immediately understood what Maria meant and nodded quickly, a look of relief on her face.

It seems that Maria will keep her secret.

As for the man next to him, his eyes also became sharp at this time.

As expected of Her Highness Maria... They were still wondering why Her Highness had to rush in alone to fight those monsters in the final battle to defend Kazdel.

I see……

They must have anticipated the current situation... Kazdel wanted to pursue peace, but Maria was too terrifying... If she continued to exist in this world, it would definitely attract the attention and vigilance of other countries.

Therefore, His Highness deliberately faked his own death and sneaked into Lateran to bring peace to the Sarkaz.

No wonder everyone was wondering why His Majesty the Demon King chose Lateran... It turns out everything was already arranged!

As expected of Your Highness!

Thinking of this, the man nodded vigorously to express his affirmation.

But after hesitating for a while, he took the opportunity to ask Maria a final question when she was about to leave.

"Then... the others..."

"..."

Maria did not respond, but just took a look, and her figure flashed and disappeared directly in front of the two people.

This made the woman breathe a sigh of relief.

But when she turned around, she found that the man's face was solemn and firm, as if he had received some sacred mission.

"Yes!"

“…Who are you telling this to?”

"……nothing."

"Ok?"

"I'm suddenly craving dessert...do you have any recommendations?"

"You...ahhh, don't pull me, I'll take you there...don't grab my hand so naturally!"

……

Leaving behind the Sarkaz and the Sakota, two extremely rare people who still maintain an inexplicable friendship after adulthood, Maria returned to Rayna's side.

Rayna was processing official documents at this time.

Although she was the host of this meeting, she was obviously busy with other work.

After seeing Maria come back, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"How are the people on the Sarkaz side? Are they safe?"

"...At this point, it seems your enemy has given up on a frontal attack."

"……That's good."

Rayna let out a long breath.

There have been so many things going on these days, and this rare bit of good news is indeed worth a little cheer.

but……

"I found something among the food I transported back."

"Ok?"

Rayna was a little confused.

But Maria just spread out her hands silently in front of her.

The palm of your hand.

A small yellow and black stone is shining with a different kind of brilliance.

That is……

Origin Stone!

417

Chapter 417: A Cold Flow...

Because of the unexpected event, Rayna had to cancel her original plan.

She skipped the second step, which was the meeting of nations that was originally intended for others to see, and instead took Theresa with her for a stroll on the streets.

Of course, she didn't take people out directly.

Instead, he deliberately communicated with Theresa for a few times and only after getting her permission did he let a few people disguise themselves and go out.

Ultimately, this meeting is actually divided into two levels.

The outermost layer is just a show.
