章節 52: 51: Preparations to leave

“Of course, we have everything prepared to go. What kind of idiot do you take us for?” Maria walked down the stairs, only to watch Nao interrogate a group of locals.

The person she had been talking with sounded pissed off but he also seemed to be in control of his temper. Maria spotted a bag of something in his hand and it looked too fancy to have belonged to the poor man in front of her.

It had to have been something Nao used to bribe the man.

“Look, I’m not accusing you. I was merely asking if you were ready to head out” Nao asked in a quiet voice and Maria wasted the man in front of Nao flinch as soon as the hood came down.

Maria had never seen anyone react violently to a demon before but the village man almost fainted from Nao’s mere looks alone.

“Dear, are you alright? T-This is a demon” the woman behind him, apparently, his wife, stepped forward to catch her falling husband. Her eyes took one look at Nao and chose to ignore her.
