Chapter 131: Can’t See Me?
At that moment, Leisha’s mind went blank.
It was because the voice in her ears was just too familiar to her. Familiar to the point where her heart was shuddering.
Of course, Leisha wasn’t actually all that familiar with the person who spoke.
However, the person who spoke was unquestionably familiar to every demon in the demon world.
Leisha was desperately hoping that she had misheard.
However, reality is often cruel.
“Turn around already. I’m right here.”
As Leisha was trying to deny reality and praying desperately, that familiar voice once more rang out.
Only, this time, the voice had with it a hint of dissatisfaction and annoyance.
“Or are you saying that you can’t see me? Because I’m too short?”
When she heard that, Leisha rather wanted to cry.
Although it’s not something known to most, Leisha was unfortunately one of those who did know.
Thus, Leisha knew that this particular topic can be called a taboo for that person.
Thus, Leishas stiffly turned about slowly and looked toward the direction where the voice came from.
Thus, Leisha saw it.
At some unknown point, a second figure appeared in the center of the camp.
It was outwardly very young looking girl.
The girl looked to be only about 11 or 12. Her face still had a good amount of baby fat on it. Her body was petite. She was wearing a very cute gothic lolita dress. She was like a lost little princess, utterly adorable. Anyone who saw her would have the urge to pick her up and hug her tight.
Especially given that the girl was also holding a pillow in her arms and one hand was still rubbing at her eyes like she just woke up and was still sleepy. It was cute enough to make anyone seeing her explode on the spot.
However, when she saw that unbelievably adorable little girl, Leisha was instead covered in cold sweat.
“M-May I ask why you’re here?”
Leisha had completely lost her cool.
Because the girl before her should not have just randomly appeared in the mortal world like this.
It’s not that she couldn’t come here. It’s that the fact that she “came to this world” was itself something that could lead to political issues, so she shouldn’t have come to this world casually.
It’s unknown if the person in question had such awareness. She just yawned while talking sleepily.
“Don’t mind it. I just heard that a certain traitor of mine seemed to have been captured by humans, so I came to take a look and personally do a bit of purging.”
Not only did those words not make Leisha calmer, it instead made her sweat even harder.
“Purging…?” Leisha spoke with some fear, “Could it be that you’re planning on using your power in the mortal world?”
“What?” The girl looked a Leisha and tilted her head like she didn’t understand, “Is there a problem with that?”
There’s a huge problem with that!
Leisha was shouting in her mind.
It had to be said. The one before her isn’t as cute as she looks.
It’s not that she looks cute but is cruel on the inside. Rather, it’s that from the perspective of anyone else, if that girl actually fought, the results can’t be described with just the word “cruel” anymore.
To put it bluntly, with her powers, never mind purging traitors, if she wasn’t careful, she might very well end up wiping out the entire kingdom in an instant.
Leisha might not have ever seen the other person fight personally, but her history and actions are basically widely known by all.
For example, in the ancient past, the person had once flattened a continent. Even the combined power of all the mortal races couldn’t do anything about her, and in the end, it took the intervention of the gods to actually stop her.
For example, out of the Heroes who were summoned to this world, two of them were personally slain by her.
Finally, for example, during the final battle a thousand years ago, she had, on her own, helped the Demon King keep two of the three great goddesses from interfering. She even nearly killed one of those great goddesses.
Now that the Demon King had fallen and the Highest God had reclused herself, she was now one of the most powerful beings in all three worlds, terrible beyond imagining.
If someone like her randomly showed up in the mortal world, there’s no way that it wouldn’t end up creating major political issues.
Leisha was absolutely certain. If the king of the Mitra Kingdom knew that this person had shown up in his nation, he’d be terrified to the point of falling off his own throne. Until she leaves, he’d be so worried over whether his kingdom would just suddenly vanish that he’d be unable to sleep the entire time.
Baydr’s group couldn’t even so much as compare to a finger of hers. In fact, the person in question could probably instantly vaporize Baydr just by breathing.
That wasn’t a metaphor. It’s fact.
After all, a single breath from that girl could evaporate even the ocean itself.
Leisha was far too terrified to say anything more. She visibly showed her worry, terrified of what kind of terrible consequences she’d incur if she accidentally annoyed the girl.
It’s unknown if the girl saw through Leisha’s thoughts, but she yawned again and sighed.
“Enough. I know what you’re thinking. There’s no need to worry. I won’t be casually using my power.” The girl spoke as if grumbling and started to mutter, “Really, each and every one of you only know to worry over this and that. It’s like I’d end up killing tons of people the moment I go out. Am I really someone so irresponsible?”
As she grumbled, the girl unconsciously puffed up her cheeks.
That look was utterly adorable, to the point that even Leisha was nearly shaken.
If not for the fact that she knew just how terrifying that girl was, Leisha felt like she might not have been able to hold back from charging forward and hugging her.
That was just how cute the girl was.
And yet, this unbelievably adorable girl could also instantly shatter the continent at any time due simply to her mood.
From that point of view, likely no one would dare to treat her like a normal little girl, right?
“Alright already. Tell me.” The girl turned her gaze back onto Leisha, “Who was that human who defeated Baydr?”
“He…” Leisha didn’t know whether or not to tell the truth for a moment.
If she spoke the truth and the girl finds out about Shein’s true identity, it might end up turning into a huge incident.
Considering that point, if she decides to hide things, she would absolutely hide the matter of Shien’s identity.
Who would have thought thought that girl would heartlessly shatter that thought of Leisha’s.
“Don’t try to hide it.” The girl stared at Leisha, “Although I don’t know who he is yet, I’ve already sensed a familiar magic power from him, as well as the thing he was carrying on his back.”
Leisha knew from that statement that she won’t be able to hide it.
Leisha could only let out a bitter laugh and tell the girl everything that she knew.
The girl seemed to thing about it. Finally, she turned around and looked in the direction that Shien left in without letting her thoughts known.
