I defeated the demon.

　I also destroyed the possibility of the demon's reincarnation, and I also destroyed the magic circle the demon had set up in the Holy City.

　It seems that the demon had a daughter, but it seems that my flame knight defeated that too.

　The countless signs of the evil gods that I had felt since I came to the Holy City have also completely disappeared, so this is probably the end of it.

　That's what I thought, but...

'The Holy Knight Commander, Hermia is nowhere to be found. Master Harte, please. Please help me find her!

　When she returned to the Great Temple and reported to Seira that she had defeated the demon, she looked a little relieved, but immediately asked her to find Elmia.

　She said that Elmia may have been abducted by the demon, just like Seira and Isha, the next saintly candidate.

　When I rescued Seira and came with her to the Holy City, I shook her hand as we parted ways. It was at that time that I had secretly affixed a transfer magic circle to Seira, so I was able to protect her from the demon.

　But at that time, Hermia was wary of me for some reason and didn't agree to shake my hand, so I couldn't put the transference magic circle on her.

　So even if I was told that Elmia was missing, I couldn't go and help her right away.

　I asked Tina to detect Elmia's magic power, but she said that she couldn't feel Elmia's magic power in this inner part of the Holy City.

　There are three possibilities from this.

　One, Hermia was taken to an area outside the range of Tina's magic detection.

　Two, he was bound by a magical tool that counteracts magic.

　Three, Hermia has already been killed.

　To a demon, the Holy Knight is just a hindrance to the demon.
　I don't want to think about it too much, but the third possibility was the most likely.


　In the meantime, I've affixed a transference magic circle to her holy armor──.

　It's unlikely that the demon that abducted her would leave her in the Holy Armor that maximizes the power of the Holy Knight.

　If that's the case, even if I transferred to the location of Elmia's holy armor, there might not be anyone there.

　Also, if the demon had dumped the holy armor into an alternate space, there's a chance that I would die after transferring there.

　But, being swept away by Seira, who was desperately pleading with tears in her eyes to save Elmia, I decided to try to transfer to the place where Elmia's Holy Armor was.

　I just don't know where I'll be going, so I put up a number of wards around my body that will allow me to maintain as much life activity as possible no matter what place I go out to.

　I have a fixed status, so I don't think I'm going to die unless there's something really bad, but overconfidence isn't good.

　Considering the possibility of me dying at the transfer point, I put a magic circle on myself that will automatically transfer to Luca's side if I die.

　This way, even in the worst case, I can ask Luca to revive me.

　I don't want to die if I can help it.

　If I was going to do this, I should have put a magic circle on Elmia, just like I did on Seira, so that I could understand the situation in the transfer destination.

　Unfortunately, what I put on Elmia was a magic circle that was only effective as a transition marker.

'I don't know what kind of place Elmire is in, so I'll transition on my own for now. In case........Luca, please.

Yes!

　All of the Elnor family was present here.

　I'll tell Luca that in the worst case scenario, I might die and come back and ask him to take care of the revival.

'Then I'll be off.'


　***

　He transitioned to the place where Elmia's Holy Armor was located.

　It was a completely dark space.
　I don't understand the situation.

　I could use magic to illuminate the surroundings, but I don't know what effect it would have.

　There are also traps in this world where activating magic will cause the place to explode.

　I decided to check my surroundings with my magic vision first.
　Right at my feet, there was a holy armor that seemed to belong to Elmia lying around.

　It was closer than I thought it would be, and I couldn't help but feel it hit my foot, making a noise.


'Who's there?'

　It was Elmia's voice.

　When I looked at the direction the voice came from, I saw someone standing with their hands up. It's probably Elmia.

　It seems that the magic power is limited to the extent that you can just barely see it with demon vision.

　If this is at this distance, it's not surprising that even Tina can't detect magic power, no matter how many times she's been unable to.

　I check my surroundings.

　There doesn't seem to be anyone else present, but just to be sure, I approach her with caution.

Who's there?　Stop, d*mn it, don't come here!

　Elmia's voice was shaking.
　He's afraid of my approaching presence in the dark.

　I don't want to scare you, but I'm being cautious, too.
　I'll apologize later, just be patient.

　I'm able to move to where I can reach Hermia without incident.

　There doesn't seem to be anything that looks like a trap.

　The only special thing in this room are the manacles that restrain her hands, which seem to be magical tools that have the effect of absorbing magic power.

　If we can break the shackles, we can free her.

　Good. We're going to help her.
　When I was about to use my magic to illuminate the area...

You're looking at me there, aren't you?　I-I don't care what they do to me, I will never sell my soul to the devil!　I'm ready ... I'm ready. Hey, if you're going to kill me, kill me!

　Elmia shouted that with a tearful voice.

　It's a shame, it was just a little bit more 'kukkaku slaughter'.......

　Ah!　If you continue to run your hands over Elmia's body, you'll be able to hear "Kukkari", right?

　Such a whisper of the devil runs through me.

　........That's strange.
　I should have defeated the demon just now, though.

　I become a little calmer.
　I don't have the taste to try to do something to a woman who is about to cry.


'Don't worry. I'm here to help you at Ceira's request.

　He spoke to Elmia while making a ball of light appear in his hand.

''Oh, you are...''

　She looked dazed, as if her eyes had become accustomed to the darkness from being in this dark room for so long.

'I'm Hurt, the wise man, whom you met outside the Holy City. I'll be removing your restraints now.

　I destroyed the magic tool that was restraining both of Elmia's hands.

　At the same time, she, who had maintained her stance by having her hands suspended, fell toward me in a daze.

　I took it in a hurry.

　Her holy armor was removed and her upper body was only a thin piece of cloth hiding only her chest, and her lower body was underwear.

　Such a body of hers jumped into me.

　With a soft blow, something soft hits my body.

　This is...........is it as big as Tina?

　When I saw Elmia in her armor, I thought she was pretty big, but I thought she wasn't as big as Tina. However, this is...

　Maybe she was doing her best to push these bountiful breasts into her holy armor, fighting every day.

　While thinking about that, I also destroyed her leg restraints while holding Elmia in my arms.

　I should have started with her legs first, I feel a bit sorry for myself.

　There was a stone platform in this room, about waist height, so I laid Hermia on it.

　I could take her back to Seira and the others immediately, but as expected, Hermia would be embarrassed in this outfit since there were holy knights around Seira and Tina and the others.

　Her holy armor, which didn't seem to have been broken much, had been struck down in this room, so I was thinking of putting it on her.

　In order to do that, he would first have to recover her.

　Being restrained in a standing position the entire time had reduced her strength and furthermore, both of her shoulders had been dislocated.

　Other than that, there didn't seem to be any other trauma, but her magic power also seemed to have been sucked out quite a bit, so I sent the magic power into Elmia's both shoulders while heeling her.

''I'm sorry. But my recovery is fine. Saintess, Seira is in danger. The demon is here. I have to help Seira...

　Elmia said, and then fainted.

　I think she was pushing herself a lot.

''It's okay, Seira is safe. We've defeated the demon too.''

　You may not have heard me, but I'll call out to you.
　Somehow, I felt Elmia's expression soften.

　I put on the holy armor after recovering Elmia and then transitioned to Seira, who was worried about her safety.
