Volume 5 Chapter 22 Princess at Her Own Pace
A strong cold air fills the surroundings, and covering everything. His breath is white and his frosty hands hurt.
"..."
In front of the speechless Oscar, the armored man was covered in a film of ice. As if time had stopped, there was no sign of movement. It was an abnormal sight that couldn't be explained by simple freezing.
Such acceleration, in an instant.
Sharla, who accomplished it, was lowering her raised hand as usual with her expressionless face. Although Oscar has seen her use magic several times, he never gets used to it. It is a power that cannot be compared to the miracles used by Oscar and the magic used by ordinary witches.
Oscar exhaled and relaxed his stance.
"I apologize for the trouble."
"It's nothing. Not a bother."
"I-I see."
It is complicated to be told that the opponent he struggled against was nothing.
But that's a story for another time.
Comparing in the first place is already a mistake, Oscar convinced himself.
"U-Um, are you alright...?"
"Oh, Mikoto. Sorry for kicking you."
"No, thank you for helping me."
While holding their kicked stomach, Kushina forced a awkward smile. Although it couldn't be helped to help, Oscar's kick must have hurt Kushina, who was proud of their strength.
Kushina looked up at the frozen armored man with fear.
"By the way, who is this magician? Why would he target us...?"
"Don't get too close. Although I don't think he can move anymore, completely disarm and restrain him."
"Understood. I also asked for backup from headquarters, so they should come soon."
"I see, that's helpful."
Although they are curious as to why they were targeted, Oscar and the others' current goal is to find a person. If they can borrow the help of the Anti-Demon Official, it would be even better.
In this situation, it would be better to arrange another place for the hotel.
Just as Oscar was thinking that while turning to escort Sharla, she narrowed her eyes and raised her hand again.
Immediately, a much stronger magic power than before emitted from Sharla, and at the same time, another magic power descended.
*Boom!*
The clash of magic caused a natural disaster.
At least that's how it appeared to Oscar. The ashes and ice sand clashed, and the glass entrance of the glass-covered hotel was shattered.
However, the damage was contained thanks to Sharla. If she hadn't used magic, Oscar and Kushina wouldn't have been safe.
"It's unusual."
Sharla's mutter disappeared into the noise.
When the shock subsided, all that remained was crushed asphalt and glass fragments. The frozen armored man and the intruder were nowhere to be seen.
"D*mn it, there were other comrades."
"..."
What just happened was undoubtedly a more powerful magic than the armored man's. If that's the case, why didn't they attack together from the beginning?
If they had been attacked by the current enemy...
Oscar gritted his teeth and helped the crouching Kushina to their feet.
"Thank you, Sharla-sama."
Oscar thanked Sharla, who was still looking at the location of the enemy, and she shook her head.
"It's fine. But I'm a little tired."
"Understood. I will arrange the next room immediately."
While answering, Oscar was thinking. That was not a magic that an ordinary magician could use. If there is a possibility, it would be someone from a foreign country like Sharla.
It's becoming a suspicious story again.
They want to gather various information, but right now, the princess's wish is the top priority.
Oscar, with Kushina holding onto him, began searching for the Anti-Demon Official who should come to support them.
