Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 229.3
I was dressed like a commoner living in the city, and was carrying a dagger for self-defense, but since I was also a “town girl” with my hair down and wearing a dress, it was a poor disguise.
“…What can you do with me this late at night?”
When I asked, the man who had first spoken to me distorted his face and spat out the words.
“That’s what I was saying. No town girl would walk around alone this late at night. I know you’ve been acting suspiciously in this town for the past few days. I want you to tell me who you’re from.”
“…”
I had been investigating suspicious financial flows and foreign-capitalized trading companies in this town, but it seemed he knew about it.
“Who are you guys? I don’t look like a guard.”
“You don’t need to know that. I’m the one asking the questions.”
“What if I refuse?”
“…You foolish apostate, how unlucky is it that we’re here. You may be knights of the dark side, but don’t think you can escape us with your… combat power.”
“…I get it.”
I get it. At the very least, I can get a commitment that you’re not just a city guard, but that you’re from an organization that would be troublesome if the dark side were to investigate you.
Judging from the content of the conversation, are you from the Holy Church? They’re hiding their identities, but judging from the construction of their daggers and their combat power, I guess they’re temple knights.
The source of funding is the Holy Church… I’ve destroyed all the trading companies that were a source of funding for the nobles in this area, so I understand that the “Saint” behind the Second Knights and the King’s younger brother Amol has finally started to move.
“Do you understand, heretic? If you speak honestly, I will send you to God without suffering.”
“…No mercy?”
“…You don’t need to know that.”
“I see…”
I decided that it was impossible to extract any more information through conversation.
It was difficult to extract information from the members of the Holy Church. What’s more, I felt a strange sense of discomfort from the other three who remained silent, not to mention the man I was currently talking to.
I’ve used magic to cover up all sorts of things, but…
“Then…Is that enough?”
“What!?”
When I released the appearance and fighting power that I had been hiding with {Hallucination Illusion}, the temple knight was stunned for a moment.
“I’ll force you to tell me the story.”
“…You! Are you the Ash Crowned Princess?”
I guess if I showed my fighting power, they’d notice me.
“–Gaaaaah!!”
At that moment, one of the men let out a beast-like roar and drew his sword and jumped out. With a rough movement reminiscent of a beast, I take a half step back to dodge the blade aimed at my neck with trained precision, and kick the elbow joint holding the dagger with the tip of my toe.
“Ahhh!”
“Ugh!”
As if overlapping with the man’s scream, another large man attacks with a strange cry.
The man’s movements and actions are also not in sync. His sword skills are ingrained in his body through training. But the man using it acts in a way that makes it seem insane.
“Surround them!”
The first man calls out to the men attacking one after another, but the large man swings his dagger as if he didn’t hear him, and I dodge by sliding my knife along the blade, slicing through the large man’s defenseless neck.

Kill them all. They probably don’t have any useful information anyways.
