What is incredible is that he showed this book to us without any expression on his face and without any shame!
Although she wanted to complain, Ella thought it would be better not to get involved in this matter.
Of course, being interested in the book was another matter. Since coming to this world, I had only seen it once, at the flea market of the Holy Academy. Even then, Lotte had almost discovered it. Later, because I lived in the same room with Lotte, or because Lotte always cleaned her room regularly, I couldn't just buy it and hide it under the bed. Although storage was no problem, this kind of thing should be kept in a hidden place in the room to suit custom.
"Wow...wow...as expected of Fuka-chan...she can even read a book like this without batting an eyelid..."
"This kind of book? It's just about expanding your knowledge. What's so strange about it?"
Compared to the embarrassment of others, Shen Gan spoke as he usually did, without any fluctuation, as if he really just treated this as something like a magic book.
"Ah, ah, Fuka-chan, you should take the book back first. Angelica-chan will be embarrassed."
"Eh? Why me? Even if it's me, I'm at least a little interested, you know?"
“Huh?”
Angelica's unexpectedly explosive remarks made Ella exclaim in surprise, but the bomb Angelica dropped was not the type that would only explode once.
She raised her trembling hand and patted Ella's shoulder, who had turned her back.
"Is Ella interested too?"
"Me, me? Why would I be interested in a book like this?"
Even if there is, it is impossible to show it here.
"But your eyes are lying, aren't they?"
Angelica's half head appeared in the corner of her vision, and at this moment the elves' intuition seemed extremely redundant.
Ella couldn't help but feel emotional. No matter which world, this kind of curiosity is not gender-specific—well, no, now is not the time to discuss this.
Deliberately pretending not to be interested, Ella patted her chest righteously.
"You must have seen it wrong, Angelina. How could I be interested in this kind of book? Besides—"
Besides, no matter how the plot changes, there are only a few shots at most, and I have seen them countless times in another world.
"What?"
"...Besides, why would Fukagan have a book like this?!"
"Oh, you're obviously trying to change the subject."
"Didn't Iris show interest just now?"
"Really? That must be Ella-chan's illusion. Someone like me—"
Like Ella, Iris suddenly paused for a second and glanced at Angelica who was looking at her.
It would be better to pay some attention to your image in front of Angelica.
Thinking of this, Iris began to search for an answer that was suitable to be said here, but this worry was completely unnecessary. Angeline took the initiative to excuse Iris.
"Someone as mature and beautiful as Iris-senpai would definitely know. It's also part of a woman's charm."
"Yeah, that's it."
Angelique raised her eyebrows and made an innocent defense, which made Iris nod her head while suppressing her guilt. Although Angelique's words were not wrong to a certain extent, it was obvious that her starting point was different from the facts.
Perhaps because the carriage was too noisy, Shen Gan closed the book with a snap.
"Is it surprising that I borrowed this book from Camisia-senpai because I lack knowledge in this area?"
There was silence for a moment, and Angelina and Ella, who were standing, sat back in their original seats awkwardly.
"Somehow, I feel like this Fukagan is really amazing..."
"Haha—I just borrowed this book because I was bored. Seniors, you're making such a fuss. In that case, I'd better get another one."
While speaking, Shen Gan put the book aside and replaced it with another very normal book on music theory.
In this way, accompanied by the creaking sound of wooden wheels, the awkwardness of the flow in the carriage slowly dissipated until lunch time.
Chapter 3 Preparations for Activating the Teleportation Array
*On the evening of February 28, 6187, at 7:22 PM, in the western demon fortress city of Kepa
It was a little chilly in the city of Kepa as March approached, and the winter nights came quickly, making the cool breeze even more aggressive. If it were in the desert environment of the past, I would have to wear thick cotton clothes and squat by the stove.
Although the western Demon Territory becomes increasingly poorer as it moves eastward, flint for winter stoves is still distributed to each household. However, now that Ella's super-level magic "Heart of Balder" has improved the desert environment, Kepa City has become a city with a pleasant climate. In addition, Camisia has moved its capital here, and the economic focus of the Demon Territory has begun to shift towards this area.
Now the city of Kepa is bustling with activity.
The streets were decorated with lights and colorful lanterns like a festival. The aroma of barbecue and beer blended into the air, drifting along with the evening breeze. Instruments such as drums, harmonicas, and recorders kept playing - although the timbre was slightly different from those of instruments on Earth, the playing had its own unique flavor - mixed with the laughter of night walkers, it was a scene completely different from the night in Jayos City. If a resident of Jayos City was suddenly placed in the fortress city of Kepa, that person would probably have the illusion of entering another world.
But now Ella does not have the time to experience this excitement, because the reason why Kepa City has become like this is because of herself.
The atmosphere in the empty room with only three people was extremely heavy, as if it were another world. The hustle and bustle outside the window had nothing to do with this place.
Ella, who had switched to the state of a loli god, squatted under the window on the third floor and quietly popped her head out. When she saw that the demons outside were still gathered together, she quickly retracted her head, slid along the wall step by step to a corner where she would definitely not be seen, and sighed heavily.
"I was clearly hiding my identity, so how did I get discovered?"
The story begins before officially entering the Demon Territory. At that time, Ella realized that the people in the Demon Tribe would definitely hold a grand welcome ceremony, so she asked Camisia to keep it a secret in advance and not spread the news that she had entered the Demon Territory. However, she did not expect that it would be exposed for unknown reasons in the end, so now she is trapped in the original mansion.
As for why they didn't return to the Holy Academy first and then go straight to the Papal States from the Holy Academy, it was because the activation of the ultra-long-distance portal connecting the eastern and western parts of the demon clan must be approved by the Demon King - these were Camisia's original words - in fact, to put it simply, Ella just needed to inject magic power into the portal.
The Eastern and Western Demon Tribes are located at the top of the continent, separated by countless countries. If it weren't for the portal made by the previous generation of demon kings, it would be impossible for the two places to communicate effectively, so connecting the portal was given top priority by Ella.
It is also worth mentioning that the craftsmanship of making an ultra-long-distance portal is such that even if the Holy Academy puts all its efforts into it, it cannot be manufactured. This is not due to a shortage of materials, but a gap in wisdom and craftsmanship.
Ella's muttering made Camisia lower her head with an apologetic look.
"My apologies, Princess. I am currently dispatching personnel to investigate the cause of the leak. If the person who spread the news is found, I will punish them accordingly."
"Ah...it's not that serious, there's no need to punish me."
Although revealing his itinerary did bother him greatly, it was not enough to warrant punishment. After all, the people in the Demon Tribe welcomed him, and he had no reason to be angry. Rather, it would be extremely rude to hide like he was doing now.
But Camisia had a completely different idea.
"Forgive me for my presumption, Princess-sama, but this is an incident that requires a reason. Even after hiding my identity, I was still discovered. This time, it's in my own territory, so it's relatively safe, but if it were in another territory that is hostile to you..."
"Uh...ah...I think it's a special skill among the demons."
Although she was nervous for a moment when Camisia warned her, Ella quickly relaxed.
First of all, if someone used surveillance magic on her, Camisia or Iris would definitely react. And if they sent monsters or summons to monitor from high altitude, she could also find out based on the "terrain search". As for the strange creatures that were always following her, Ella didn't think she would ignore such a problem that could be discovered at a glance.
So it must be some ridiculous sixth sense like the "Demon Lord Sensor". I've heard the little maid Tila talk about this kind of thing before. She once described it as something like, "The Demon Lord's whole body is glowing" and "I feel very comfortable as long as the Demon Lord stands nearby". But when I asked the other three maids, they said nothing of the kind.
After recalling the incident with a wry smile, Ella couldn't help but feel that it would be better not to let Camisia waste her time on this matter. She coughed twice to attract the attention of Camisia and Lotte in the room.
"Hmm... Let's talk about this later. As for the teleportation array, it's in Mistin City, right?"
Because her identity had been discovered, in order not to cause trouble to the people in the demon clan - just thinking about the celebrations along the way, Ella began to feel a headache unconsciously - so she appeared in the appearance of a loli god, and directly used "high-level teleportation" to go to Mistin to solve the problem of the portal, and then entered the Holy Academy through the Bruzea Empire in the east.
With the help of the little lights on the street, you can see Kamisia bending down slightly.
"Yes, Princess-sama, but is teleportation magic over this distance humanly possible? Well, I have no doubts about your ability, but I'm concerned about the excessive energy consumption..."
Some magic cannot be interrupted once used. When magic power is insufficient, it will be supplemented by vitality. From the map, the location of Kepa City and Mistin completely spans the entire western demon clan. If it is not driven by a portal, it is at least seventh-level magic. Therefore, although Camisia knows that Ella is very powerful in this state, she can't help but feel worried.
"Don't worry, don't worry. It'll be fine. I'm just looking for a quiet place to experiment with the Seal of Gluttony, and I also need to refill the magic power of the Fire Arrow."
"Is that so... Then can we set the coordinates to the throne room?"
"Yeah, no problem. Then get ready and don't resist, okay?"
If the target of the teleportation has a resistance mentality, even "High-level Teleportation" cannot be successfully cast - if it can be used without the will of others, teleportation magic can become the most powerful magic. After all, directly sending people underground or into the sky can achieve the purpose of killing, unlike other magic that is easily blocked by skills such as "Magic Shield".
After waiting for Lotte and Camisia to approach her, Ella nodded, recalled the location of the throne room, and activated "High-level Teleport".
A blue light flashed, and after experiencing the unique floating and trance feeling of teleportation magic, the three of them came to a spacious hall with many steps in front. Since the building itself was located at a high position, and there were many transparent light-transmitting openings in the dome and the surrounding walls, the throne room in the dark night naturally gave people a feeling of being in the starry sky.
After standing firmly, Camisia looked around.
"Hmm...this is the throne room."
For some reason, there was a hint of thought in Camisia's voice.
"Did Miss Camisia find anything?"
"No, it's just a few minor things... That said, we still need to be careful next time. We're already inside the throne room, but the guards haven't noticed us at all. If someone manages to use teleportation magic to infiltrate the throne room, Mistin could be destroyed."
"So even if it's destruction..."
Ella looked around. Although the interior of the throne room was excessively large for a court venue, it was far from enough for a soldier's garrison. It could only accommodate less than 5,000 people at most. It was no exaggeration to say that wanting to use 5,000 soldiers to fight against the demons guarding Mistin was a pipe dream.
"The throne room is the symbol of the Demon King. Outsiders cannot be allowed to enter without permission—"
Having said that, Camisia paused, as if considering whether to say the next words.
Having the same thought as Camisia, Lotte continued what she was saying.
"And if the opponent is a high-ranking magic caster, and casts a wide-area annihilation spell in the throne room, it will become a real disaster, right?"
"Eh? Is that so? First of all, the prerequisites for teleportation are impossible, right? There seem to be quite a few magic circles set up here that hinder teleportation."
"But didn't the princess teleport successfully? Speaking of which, back when she was on Dragon Island, she was able to easily pass through the barrier set up by Phoos. Could it be that the teleportation magic the princess used was actually a type that was far beyond the standard?"
In the starlight cast from the dome, Ella could see Camisia raise an eyebrow.
If I explain here that it's "High-Level Teleportation," it will definitely make Camisia happy. Anyway, it won't hurt to tell her the truth.
After coughing twice, Ella turned her gaze towards Camisia.
"It's 'High-level Teleportation'? A teleportation magic exceeding the eighth level."
Of course, the eighth level Ella mentioned was the eighth level in "F.Wing", which is equivalent to the eightieth level in this world, so Camisia's previous worries were completely unnecessary. So far, she has not seen anyone above level 75.
"Eighth rank... As expected, she is the Demon King's daughter..."
An expression of uncontrollable surprise appeared on Camisia's face, and she kept muttering.
"If I tell Dean this news, he'll definitely jump for joy. Even Ellislan can't cast eighth-level magic on her own, let alone the princess's magic, which is even beyond the eighth level. This way, when the princess comes of age and has a family, even if the world is divided into the demon clan's territory..."
Having said that, Camisia suddenly shook her head.
"No, there are downsides. If the princess is too strong, her future partner will become a problem. The Demon King's partner must be perfect. Not only must they be intelligent, but they must also be of equal rank to the princess. Most importantly, they must like the princess and be favored by her..."
Having said that, Camisia lowered her head, her crimson twintails swaying left and right, completely lost in her own world.
"It's a bit difficult... What?"
Unconsciously, his eyes turned golden, as if he was communicating with the multiple personalities within the golden cat's eyes.
"My words...my words...of course...no problem, but...one day per person? No, I'm in charge of your body now, so don't even think about it."
“…Head Maid.”
Camisia began pacing the room.
"Of course you can, Head Maid—but you've overlooked the biggest issue. Will this affect the princess—"
"Camisia?"
Although it would be embarrassing to disturb Camisia who was lost in thought, Camisia had no intention of stopping now. If it dragged on for too long, Iris who was staying in Kepa City would inevitably worry. Therefore, Ella could only walk behind Camisia, raised her hand and patted Camisia's shoulder.
Camisia was startled by Ella's touch—a rare reaction.
"Hmm? Yes, it is, Princess-sama! I'm so sorry. I lost my composure and became so self-absorbed in front of Princess-sama. I'm so sorry."
"Well, Camisia must be thinking about something important, so where is the portal? Let's open it first, and then try to see the power of the Seal of Sin—wait, is the portal above ground or underground?"
Although she had heard from Camisia when she arrived that there was a very strong defensive barrier near the portal, Ella had assumed that the place was underground, but she had no idea what it was actually like.
In the setting of "F.Wing", Gluttony is the Holy Spirit in charge of wind and can cast super-level magic of wind attributes, so choosing a suitable testing site is very important. She doesn't want to accidentally hurt others because of the experiment. Although it sounds like a prop that is useless like the forged Seal of Jealousy, Ella still wants to try it. After all, it might bring unexpected surprises.
Camisia walked in front and began to lead the way for Ella, and then Luty followed behind Ella, the soles of her shoes making a light clicking sound on the white stone floor. Their destination was not outside the door, but the tallest building in the throne room, the magnificent throne facing the gate.
"Because it is a very important facility, the Demon King placed it underground to prevent others from intentionally sabotaging it. Even continuous eighth-level magic cannot damage it, so the princess can experiment with magic there without worry."
“Is that so…”
Despite what Camisia said, Ella still felt uneasy.
[Well, I'd better be careful next time and not inject magic power into the Seal of Gluttony while in Loli God mode.]
"Princess, we've arrived. Infuse the crystal decoration behind the throne with magic power to reach the underground portal."
In response to Ella's gesture of invitation, Camisia summoned a glowing magic circle to absorb magic power.
