"I reject."

Faced with Ilva's words, Ellie decisively refused... They were willing to help Lord Galen because the other party provided them with identity documents in return for investigating the child sale. For Ellie,

The most important thing at the moment is to conquer the seven mazes. There are only five left...but there is no time to waste here.

"………………"

Hearing Ellie's answer, Ilva's expression stiffened slightly, and then he coughed.

"Is this okay? You must know that those dead nobles have considerable influence within the kingdom. If this matter is spread, it will not be good for you."

"This matter has nothing to do with us, or do you have evidence to prove this?"

Of course Ellie won't give in.

"But having said that, the majestic Foss is not only a business center, but is also engaged in child trafficking. If this matter spreads, it will be a trouble for you."

"Well……………"

Hearing this, Ilva was even more speechless. As Ellie said, there are now reports of children being abducted and missing throughout the entire Kingdom of Barbagia, and some nobles are also involved. If they were to know about Foss

That's the center of this matter, that... is a big problem!

By the way, what Ellie said just now was actually self-inflicted, but both parties actually knew it well, so the verbal confrontation was simply used to gain an advantageous position for themselves. Originally, Ilva

He hoped that he could use this to sell Ai Li and others a favor, and at the same time, he hoped that they would do him a favor, but he did not expect that Ai Li would not eat anything soft and hard, and would not eat oil or salt. It is no wonder that they are not from this world in the first place.

, Ellie's only goal at the moment is to open a passage to find trouble at the core of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, and she is not in the mood to care about the lives of people in this world.

Although Ilva's previous words hinted that the Adventurer's Guild can help Ellie resist the malice from the nobles, Ellie doesn't care about it at all. Those who are not afraid of death can come. Let's see who is afraid of whom?

In fact, Foss is the one who is passive in this matter now, because Foss is a neutral commercial city. What he fears most is that someone will interfere with his jurisdiction under an excuse. However, once there is a secret organization here that is abducting and trafficking the entire kingdom.

If something like this spreads about the children, both the royal family and the local nobles will try their best to intervene. By then, Foss's neutral status will be in jeopardy, and in the worst case, even its autonomy will be taken away...

…

"I see."

Until then, Ilva finally understood the strength gap between the two sides and had no choice but to bow his head.

"Well, since you have nothing to do with this matter, it would be rude of me... I will work hard to investigate, restore the truth of the incident as much as possible, and find out the reasons."

"Hopefully you can resolve this issue."

Ellie stood up with a smile on her face.

"We also hope to get a satisfactory result."

It wasn't until Ellie's figure disappeared from behind the door that Ilva sighed and leaned back on the chair.

"What a troublesome person..."

While muttering to himself, Ilva shook his head.

When he met Ellie, Ilva was still thinking of taking advantage of her. In his opinion, even if such a little girl was super powerful, she would not have much knowledge. In fact, after seeing the wreckage of the demolition venue yesterday,

Later, Ilva thought the same thing. In his opinion, this group of adventurers must have done this kind of thing out of anger when they saw a child being trafficked. They were naive and simple types.

In this way, as long as Ilva states his interests and uses some means, he should be able to tie him to himself and others, or at least bring them closer to each other.

But what Ilva didn't expect was that the girl named Ellie who led them was not as easy to deal with as she imagined. Not only did she have a clear understanding of the situation in front of her, she even had a clear understanding of Foss's own status and status.

The political losses have been calculated for a long time. What makes Ilva even more troubled is that the other party seems to be indifferent and looks lawless.

Coupled with the fact that they have successfully conquered the 65th floor of the Great Maze, it can be confirmed that these girls know what they are doing, and do not care about the disadvantages it will bring. They have enough strength and confidence to face everything.

trouble.

In this way, the wooing and threats that Ilva had prepared were of no use, not to mention that the other party was not without the ability to fight back. As Ellie said, kidnappings of children are currently frequent in the Kingdom of Barbagia.

Once the other party spreads this matter, it means that Fos' status as a neutral commercial and trade city is in jeopardy...

So in the end, Ilva could only bow his head and give in, signing an armistice agreement with the other party without a signature. Not only that, he also had to work hard to clean up the mess...

But no matter what, at least the purpose of the exchange was achieved. The other party was an adventurer with legendary strength that had never appeared before in ancient times. As long as they still have this status, it would be a good profit for the Adventurer Guild.

Thinking of this, Ilva also sighed and stopped talking.

I hope they won't cause any trouble here again.

After having a cordial and friendly conversation with President Ilva, Ellie returned to the hotel. When she walked into the room, the first thing she saw was the sea girl who was playing with Nana.

"Ah, Sister Ellie!!"

Seeing Ai Li coming back, the girl from the Sea Clan showed a happy smile, stretched out her hand, ran towards Ai Li, and threw herself into Ai Li's arms.

"I'm back. Is Miao good?"

Looking at the girl in her arms, Ellie smiled, stretched out her hand, and gently touched her little head. The latter also closed her eyes and enjoyed Ellie's touch.

"Well, Miu has always been obedient."

"Yes, Sister Aili, Xiao Miao is very obedient."

At this moment, Nana also came over and happily touched the hair of a girl named Miao. After yesterday's auction, although the other children were sent to the Adventurers Association, only Miao

He was brought back by Ellie. The reason is very simple. Miu is from the sea race, and the discrimination against demi-humans in this world is deep-rooted. In addition, the sea race seems to be a very rare species among demi-humans, so even if it is handed over to the other party, there will be

May be arrested again.

In addition, after asking Miao, Ellie learned that the city where Miao lives is located overseas, which happens to be on the blue sea east of Orudana. As long as she returns to the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, she can be sent back directly, so Ellie also

Brought her over directly.

As for Miao himself, it seems that he is quite close to Ellie and is not willing to be separated from her at all. Of course, the other three girls also like her very much, especially Nana, who almost treats Miao as a younger sister. As for Yue...

...She actually wanted Miao to call her mother, but Miao said that she already had a mother, which shocked Yue Da.

Of course, the happiest person among them is Nana. Because Xiao Miao is cute, well-behaved and obedient, she almost treats Xiao Miao as her own sister. This is no wonder, after all, although Nana and Mengmeng are

Sisters, but because of the latter's dark underbelly, Nana can't hold her head up in front of Mengmeng, not to mention that Mengmeng's figure is much better than Nana's, and she often uses this to mock Nana.

In contrast, Xiao Miao is well-behaved, obedient and cute... Nana even thought about replacing her younger sister with Xiao Miao.

Of course, if Mengmeng knew about her idea, Nana would be dead.

"Get ready, let's go."

"Do you want to leave here?"

"Well, the matter has been solved, and the big maze has been conquered. Let's send Xiao Miao back to her mother first, and then go back to Ten Thousand Flowers Valley to check the situation. As for Lord John, I have left a letter at the Adventurer's Guild.

He should be fine."

After making sure that everything was ready, Ai Li led everyone directly out of the hotel and flew into the sky.

Everyone was enjoying themselves along the way. To be honest, Yue was a little unhappy. Because of Xiao Miao, Yue had to give up her exclusive seat. Now the three of them were sitting on the broom as if they were sitting on bicycles.

Yue, who was originally shrinking in Ally's arms, had to sit behind and put her arms around Ally's waist, while Miao sat in front of Ally's arms and stretched out her hands to hold on to Ally's clothes.

, his eyes widened in surprise, looking at the scenery around him and shouting.

For the Sea People living in the sea, it was the first time for Xiao Miao to fly so high in the air, so he was naturally very excited. He pointed here and there from time to time and asked other people.

"Sister Ellie, what is that?"

"That's the river."

"Huh? It looks as thin as a line. Is that a mountain? Myuu thought the mountain was very high before, but I didn't expect it to be so short... Ah, human towns look like dollhouses...

…!”

Seeing the cheerful look of Miao in their arms, Ai Li and Nana also breathed a sigh of relief. They were originally worried about whether she would have any psychological shadow if she was snatched by humans and sold as a slave, but now it seems that it is not a big deal.

question.

At this moment, Miao stretched out his hand out of curiosity again.

"Sister Ellie, what is that?"

"Oh, what is that...?"

Looking in the direction of Miao's finger, Ai Li was about to answer casually, but after seeing the situation clearly, she was stunned for a moment.

Looking around, I saw a fire rising into the sky not far away, and thick smoke billowing. If I looked carefully, I could see a large area of ​​squirming monsters moving forward. And in front of them, there was a town.

Monsters attacking the city?

This is really surprising.

Looking at the large number of monsters below, Ellie thought for a moment and finally decided... to go over and check the situation.

But at this moment, outside the town, there was a different scene.

"Why! Why is this! Shimizu-san!!"

Standing on the high wall of the town, looking at the army of monsters surrounding the town, a short woman clenched her fists, looked ahead and shouted loudly. Her name was Hatayama Aiko, she was a teacher, and

One of the angels who was transported to this world by the gods, Aiko was teaching the students at the time, and then the entire class was transferred to this world. Even after listening to the Pope's words, she did not want her students to be in this alien world.

The world goes to fight.

She came here this time to find her missing student. Originally, Hatayama Aiko thought that her student had an accident, but she didn't expect that when they met again, it would turn out like this - her
