Chapter 28: Searching for Hivell
It was supposed to be where Hivell, the son of a wealthy merchant, resided...
"Hivell! I have come for you!"
Marianne stepped into the grand mansion.
However, there was no one inside the mansion.
"No one here!?"
As Marianne expressed her surprise, she encountered Hivell escaping on horseback.
It seemed like he had anticipated the group's intrusion.
"Let's chase after him, Marianne!"
"Yes!"
Aelusdro and the others pursued Hivell.
"Summon Carriage!"
Yumir summoned a carriage with magic and drove while following Hivell.
"Heave ho, heave ho!"
Miro pushed the carriage uphill to accelerate its speed.
With her strength, the carriage moved considerably faster.
After making some progress, Hivell dismounted from his horse and ran into a residential area.
The residential area was labyrinthine, requiring them to determine his whereabouts and which direction he fled to.
"Ellie, help us out."
"Sure thing!"
Rudolf and Ellie ran towards the place where Hivell had taken refuge.
And then, the two of them managed to locate Hivell... Bingo.
"We found him! Let's chase him!"
"Oh no!"
Just as they were about to catch up to Hivell, he started scattering gold coins from a bag.
People swarmed towards the gold, obstructing Aelusdro's path.
"Darn it! Using such a trick! Let's keep pursuing, Marianne!"
"No, why don't we pick up some of the gold coins?"
"Hey!"
Dazzled by the gold coins, Marianne began picking them up one after another.
No matter how much of a central figure she was in the party, being a villainess, she couldn't resist the allure of money.
"Well, there's no helping it... I'll carry it."
"I'll help too."
Aelusdro and Miro reluctantly pulled the carriage using their strength.
However, due to the residents attempting to snatch the gold coins from Marianne's carriage, everyone suffered considerable damage.
"Grrr..."
"You got blinded by the gold, didn't you?"
"Let me take care of the injuries for now. La Nature de l'Ovale du Teneb!"
Ellie immediately cast a healing spell that healed the wide-ranging injuries and restored everyone's damage.
"Now it's my turn! La Teneb de Hands du Nice!"
Yumir cast a mind control magic, manipulating the minds of the horses. As a result, the horses stopped in their tracks.
"Move... Move, why won't you move?!"
Hivell panicked, and in that moment, Aelusdro and Marianne captured him.
Aelusdro then removed the brooch Hivell was wearing and restored his sanity.
"We finally found you. Now, tell us the situation."
"...Alright."
Hivell explained the circumstances to Aelusdro and the others.
"...Even though I was under control, I apologize for what I've done. Take this plan document."
Saying that, Hivell handed the plan document to Aelusdro.
The plan document contained the following information:
During the engagement party, distribute these charm brooches to the attendees. Make sure all the guests pledge their loyalty to Lady Emma.
"Ah, if this plan were to succeed, everyone would end up worshiping Emma...!
I absolutely won't allow that!"
Marianne made up her mind to stop this plan and raised her twin pistols.
"We will definitely prevent this plan from happening!"
"Rudolf! We won't lose, no matter what!"
"...Yes."
"...Looks like there's no choice but to do it."
"Why do I have to cooperate in the first place?"
"Well, well... We're technically allies, aren't we?"
Aelusdro, Ellie, Rudolf, Miro, Yumir, and Shuu also made up their minds to stop the plan and stand together with Marianne.
Due to their various detours, they were running out of time to reach the party venue.
If they didn't stop Emma's ambition, the people of this country would fall under her spell.
Can the villainess prevent the ambitions of the heroine?
"...even though it's not really my role in the first place."
