That madman, he just died like that...?
Everything happened so suddenly that Alexia had no time to react.
Wrong!
"You are... you are Yotsuba Clan- sensei?!"
"Hmm, you guessed right, but there's no reward for you."
Mahiro jumped off the table and went straight into the cell.
His practiced manner made it seem like he was back home.
A hint of joy appeared on Alexia's face, but Mahiro walked past her and headed straight for the monster.
Weren't you here to save me?
"..."
Seemingly sensing the approaching figure, the monster slowly raised its head.
"Huh~ the infection is quite deep."
The symptoms of [Demonic Possession] were even more severe than when he encountered Alpha.
But by then, Alpha had become a writhing lump of flesh with its sanity constantly dropping, while the girl in front of him was still able to barely maintain a human form.
It felt like a human weapon.
This must be the Order's research plan to recreate Diabolos?
"Milia?" he tried calling out.
"Ah..."
Upon hearing the name, the monster reacted, slowly raising its head and staring at him with its crimson eyes.
"You're Milia, right?"
"Ah... ah ah..."
It seemed as if it had lost the ability to speak, yet it also seemed as if it desperately wanted to say something.
"It seems you've been turned into a weapon, but you haven't completely lost your ability to think, Milia."
It seems he remembered correctly.
This child is indeed the daughter of Viscount Olba, the one who kidnapped Claire.
At the very least, based on the results of his eye analysis, this monster is indeed directly related to Olba.
"Ah... ahhh... ahhh..."
The monster grew increasingly agitated.
Alexia, standing to the side, was completely stunned.
Yotsuba Clan- sensei can actually talk to monsters?
It seems to be someone I know, named Milia?
It was indeed an acquaintance.
But then, Alexia saw something even more shocking.
"Alright, alright, calm down, be good. You're lucky to have run into this, I'll restore you to your original form."
Mahiro reached out and stroked the monster's head. Pure white magic gathered in his palm and flowed down from the top of the monster's head like a waterfall, spreading throughout its entire body.
"My name... my name... my name is... Milia... ah... ahhhhhh..."
Although it was intermittent, the monster was already able to speak.
Moreover, that pure white magic was almost covering the monster's entire body, taking over every inch of its skin.
Ding-a-ling--
An item fell from the monster's body.
Upon closer inspection, it appeared to be a dagger, but it was somewhat worn.
Is Ms. Yotsuba Clan saving it?
However, Alexia had never seen such a treatment method before, and it was truly an eye-opener for her.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Suddenly, the monster, enveloped in magical light, let out a heart-wrenching wail of pain.
Its roar echoed all around!
But Milia, inside the light, seemed to have shrunk in size compared to before.
It's like having your outer shell gradually peeled away to reveal the core inside.
The enormous monster muscles gradually disappeared, replaced by the fair skin of a young girl hidden beneath.
"Milia, it hurts so much! No!!!"
The agonizing screams never ceased; instead, they grew increasingly delicate, gradually revealing the tender voice of a young girl beneath the low growls.
Large tears streamed down her scarlet eyes, slowly spreading across the ground.
The monster is crying.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Soon, the roar gradually changed tone, and when it finally reached a certain limit, the pure white light enveloping the monster dissipated.
It reveals its true nature.
She was a very delicate-looking young girl, completely naked, as if she had just been born.
To be precise, she was indeed just born, reborn from the shell of what was called a monster.
The girl had barely shed her monster form when she completely lost consciousness.
Mahiro used alchemy to create a blanket and gently covered the unconscious Milia.
Looking at that peaceful sleeping face, Mahiro and wiped away the remaining tears from the corner of the girl's eyes, then nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes, it's perfect, it's all sorted out."
What's been resolved?
Alexia was still trying to figure out what had happened in such a short time.
All she knew was that she was walking down the street when she was suddenly kidnapped and brought here, and then a madman suddenly appeared, talking about resurrecting some kind of weird thing, and then started slapping her.
After that, Yotsuba Clan -sensei suddenly appeared, suddenly killed the madman, then suddenly stepped away from herself and walked towards the monster. Then, she used an enormous amount of magic power that was terrifying to the point of being frightening, and suddenly turned the monster into a human.
Everything happened so inexplicably and so suddenly.
Swish--
A flash of light.
The restraints on his hands and feet were suddenly cut off.
He was using the seemingly luxurious longsword that had suddenly appeared in his hand.
If it weren't for the lingering pain from the needle marks on her body and the stiffness in her hands and feet, she probably would have thought it was all a dream.
Or perhaps someone hired such a large group of people to play a trick on me...
"It seems Alexia has a lot of questions."
"Yes, although I feel very sleepy after the blood draw, I would be extremely grateful if you could answer my questions, Yotsuba Clan- sensei."
Alexia fought off her drowsiness, her mind still somewhat foggy.
"All right."
Mahiro went outside the prison, brought over a chair, sat down, and crossed her legs.
"There's still some time, Alexia, please feel free to ask anything you'd like to know."
Alexia opened her mouth, then slowly closed it again, looking as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you just naturally quiet?"
"..."
Alexia's expression darkened at his teasing; she rolled her eyes at him slightly and sighed softly.
"I did have a lot of questions, but now I don't know how to bring them up..."
"All right."
Seeing that the princess in front of him seemed genuinely at a loss for words, Mahiro shrugged indifferently.
"Since you don't know how to ask, then I'll just explain what happened."
He truthfully recounted to Alexia all the information he had obtained from Alpha, as well as his negotiations with Princess Alice.
But Alexia's expressions during this process were also quite remarkable, especially when she heard Alice; her face showed obvious emotion.
"Anyway, that's what happened. I used a little trick to finally find this place... Wait a minute, what's with that look?"
After he finished speaking, Mahiro noticed that the princess across from him was looking at him with a very strange expression.
It looked like a suspicious gaze.
"Hey, hey, hey, you don't actually suspect I kidnapped you, do you?"
"..."
Alexia didn't say anything, but her expression betrayed her—that's exactly what she thought!
But that's understandable. Mahiro knows too much, even the details of her kidnapping, so it's no wonder she's suspected.
But that didn't stop him from complaining.
"Sigh, I thought you were a smart person, but it turns out you're just as stupid as your sister."
"Queen Alice is not stupid!"
"Oh, so you don't deny the fact that you're stupid?"
Under his teasing, Alexia turned her head away somewhat embarrassed.
"Sorry... I was just joking with you. I know the culprit isn't you, Yotsuba Clan- sensei..."
"I'm just curious, who exactly are you, Yotsuba Clan- sensei? You can't just be a swordsmanship instructor at the academy, can you?"
She spoke softly, until the last word was barely a whisper.
They managed to sneak in here undetected and kill that madman using strange methods.
In addition, there was the girl who was healed from a monster into a human.
Each of these items is beyond the scope of a school teacher's capabilities.
Not to mention he knew so much about his kidnapping...
"Oh? Interested in my identity?" Mahiro asked with a hint of amusement.
Alexia nodded seriously.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you."
"... Why?!"
Her curiosity had been piqued, and this was the answer she received, leaving Alexia feeling uneasy, as if she had a fishbone stuck in her throat.
"Because there's no time left, it's already started."
He smiled Mahiro.
Immediately afterwards, the cell shook slightly, and a few specks of dust fell from the ceiling.
