Can you withstand the power of this sword strike, which has been used twice in the game?

However, after figuring it out, Lycorina lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes...

You're not including me in your game again!

……

"By the way, Annie, why did we specifically send Milo back?" Layton asked a similar question to Lycorina.

He knew that An Yi was someone who hated trouble, and suddenly doing something "troublesome" was not like An Yi at all.

“Because we’re going to catch a succubus,” Annie said.

"A succubus?!" Layton exclaimed in shock. "Are there succubi in this city?!"

"I don't know." An Yi shook her head. Qi

Annie and Layton sat on one side, while the other side was for Milu to lie down and sleep.

“That’s why we need the assistance of Miss Miluko’s family,” An Yi said, looking at Miluko across from her. Lu

“But succubi don’t kill people, right? Is it really necessary to specifically look for them?” Layton asked.

Layton's problem is a common misconception that most people fall into: that succubi don't directly harm humans, so there's really no need to worry about it.

This is a thought shared by heroes from past lives and even many humans, so it's understandable that Layton asked such a question. Death

but……

"Even though they don't kill people, can you really accept that there are demons in the city where your family lives?"

If you think about the demons in the city, would you still feel safe leaving your family behind?

"What if one day the demons invade human territory and collude with these succubi, while you are in distant demon territory? What will you do then?" An Yi asked rhetorically.

A barrage of questions left Layton speechless, and he could only awkwardly scratch his head.

Yes, if that's the case, even if the other party doesn't hurt anyone now, there's a possibility that they could indirectly or directly harm the hero's family in the future.

“Okay, that’s something I didn’t consider.” Layton chuckled, then asked, “So, are we just going to kill them this time?”

"I remember last time the succubi escaped, didn't they?"

If it were An Yi from her past life, she would definitely have gone there and killed every succubus equally.

but now……

“Don’t kill them.” An Yi shook her head, then looked out the window. “They are more useful than the experience points they provide.”

……

Milu opened her eyes.

She lay in bed, facing an unfamiliar ceiling.

"Have they already been taken to the accommodations arranged by the believers...?"

Speaking of which, what time is it now? How long has she been asleep?

Good morning, miss.

A maid's respectful voice came from the side.

"Um……"

Milu7 casually agreed, then sat up abruptly! (Nineˇ∫lin∵∠Seven＞捌]Zero×)

"Lina?!" She heard the familiar maid's voice!

Without a doubt, that was the voice of her personal maid!

"Yes, Miss, is there anything I can do for you?" the maid asked with a smile.

"Wait! Where am I?!" Milu looked around.

"Miss, we're home now. You've had a tough three months of fighting the demons," Lina said softly.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Wake up! Wake up!!

Milu slammed her head against the quilt repeatedly, then rolled around on the bed, clutching her head.

Why? ! Why? !

Why are we home already?!

“Miss, this isn’t a dream.” Lina was used to Milu’s crazy antics.

"Why am I home?!" Milu asked, stopping in her tracks.

"Why... because the Sword Hero and the Shield Hero brought you back."

"They both seem to be very outstanding men. Which one do you prefer, Miss?" Lina asked with a smile.

"Don't suddenly start talking about meaningless romance topics!" Milu slammed her hands on the bed.

At this moment, her brain began to work at high speed.

What should we do?! They must have already seen their parents!

A scene flashed through Milu's mind—

Father: "I know two of them, the famous Sword Hero and the Shield Hero!"

It's a little regrettable that I didn't get to see Her Highness the Holy Maiden!

My good-for-nothing daughter, Miluko, has failed to make a name for herself among such outstanding heroes, which truly breaks my heart!

Sigh... I overestimated her.

An Yi: "It's alright, she's just a useless person. The three of us can handle her without any trouble."

Layton: "That's right! So what if I'm trash! I don't care!"

Father: "Hahahaha—!!"

Layton: "Hahahaha—!!"

An Yi: "..."

……

"Eek—!!" Milu screamed in agony, clutching her head on the bed. "No...no!!"

Where's Dad?! Where's Dad?!

Lina paused for a moment: "The head of the family isn't in this city right now."

Miluko: "...Huh?"

Chapter 191 She's too sensitive.

"Dad...isn't here?" Milu looked at Lina in confusion.

Lina nodded: "Yes, the head of the family is still at the main family and has not moved here."

"Now, only we, the servants who usually attend to the young lady, are in this mansion."

"Huh?" Milu was confused again. "Why don't you move here?"

"With your intelligence, Miss, I don't need to explain further," Lina said with a smile.

"makes sense……"

Milu quickly came up with the answer.

Because, unlike the other heroes, her home was located deep within human territory, unlike the other heroes' families who lived on the borders of the territory.

Ultimately, there is no need for protection at all.

Her family was a renowned lineage of assassins, subordinate to a lord, and their daily work involved training the lord's personnel.

Therefore, unlike mercenary assassins, they would receive direct protection and assistance from their lords.

What is visible to the public, what is usually shown in public, is only the tip of the iceberg of the entire family.

Those who secretly serve the family and lord are the greatest guarantee of their own safety.

That territory isn't close to the demons; the potential danger comes from people from other countries, so...

How could Miluko's father, as the head of a large family, suddenly abandon his base and come to live in the city of the Aldrich Theocracy?

The people assigned here were all people who previously served Miluko.

These people were trained from childhood to serve as Miluko's servants and attendants, and were directly under Miluko's management.

It's like a radish and its hole; once Milu leaves, they're no longer of any use in the family.

Since they were idle anyway, and the church had just allocated an empty house, they were asked to take care of it.

“Where are they who brought me back? Have they left yet?” Milu asked.

"Not yet, but... the two heroes are trying to get us to provide them with some information."

Although they are both important friends of yours, according to our family rules, we are not allowed to provide assistance to outsiders.

Without your or the head of the household's consent, we are not authorized to provide information to outsiders.

"So we're still discussing it with them, and you can make a decision when you wake up," Lina explained.

"Intelligence? What intelligence?" Milu asked in confusion.

Lina: "Miss, it's better if you don't know."

Miluko: "I don't know, how am I supposed to decide?!"

Lina: "Okay, they're asking around about the locations of shops where women sell their bodies."

Miluko: "..."

Did I hear something I shouldn't have?

Their families are all in this city!

Are you going to that kind of shop before even seeing your family?!

But then again, if I run into my family, I'll have to hide my whereabouts if I want to go again, so it's better to go while Her Highness is busy.

Sure enough, men still have those needs...
