\text
Even though she was defeated by Caym, Gluette managed to
keep not only her life but even her chastity.
\endtext

\text
Now, she is walking through a certain town in Hados.
\endtext

\text("Gluette")
...Is this... Hados? Is this really a city at war?

\endtext

\text
Gluette glances around, surprised by the lively atmosphere
of the town.
\endtext

\text
It's true that there are some scars of battle left on the
buildings, but the people living here all have bright
expressions.
\endtext

\text
What surprised Gluette the most was the diversity of races.

\endtext

\text
She had expected that, since this area originally had a lot
of Diabolica, the ratio of races would be different from
other regions.
\endtext

\text
But there are even more Diabolica than Gluette had imagined.

\endtext

\text
And what shocked Gluette the most was the presence of
monsters.
\endtext

\text("Guard")
You there, woman. Stop.
\endtext

\text("Gluette")
Eh... Me?
\endtext

\text
One of the guards standing on the street corner called out
to Gluette and approached her.
\endtext

\text
The guard was an orc, towering over her.

\endtext

\text
The orc looked down at Gluette and grinned, baring his
teeth.
\endtext

\text("Guard")
I haven't seen you around here. Are you a traveler?
\endtext

\text("Gluette")
Y-Yes, I am... Is there a problem with that?

\endtext

\text
Gluette glared back at the orc.
\endtext

\text
She didn't forget to prepare a few spells, just in case she
was attacked at any moment.

\endtext

\text
However, the orc's next words were completely outside
Gluette's expectations.
\endtext

\text("Guard")
If you keep looking around so much, people will know you're
an outsider.
\endtext

\text("Guard")
There are some bad people here who try to trick newcomers.
You should be careful.

\endtext

\text("Guard")
If you have any questions about this town, ask us guards or
go to the inn. I'll give you a map with the inn's location.

\endtext

\text
Saying that, the orc guard handed Gluette a map.

\endtext

\text("Gluette")
Th-thank you for your advice and your kindness.

\endtext

\text("Guard")
Don't mention it, it's my job. That's all I needed. You can
go now.
\endtext

\text
With that, the guard briskly returned to his original post.

\endtext

\text
And once again, he kept a watchful eye on the passersby.

\endtext

\text("Gluette")
...A monster, as a guard...? No... If I look closely, even
among the townspeople...
\endtext

\text
There were only a few, but even races called monsters, like
orcs and goblins, were walking around and shopping just like
normal people.
\endtext

\text
Seeing that scene with her own eyes, Gluette felt a slight
dizziness.
\endtext

\text("Gluette")
I-I can't believe this... In Lamshi, where I lived, a scene
like this... would be impossible...

\endtext

\text
Humans, Diabolica, and monsters.
\endtext

\text
They talk to each other and together make up a single city.

\endtext

\text("Gluette")
From what I've heard in other countries, in towns conquered
by the Demon Lord's army, all sorts of atrocities are
supposed to be happening...
\endtext

\text("Gluette")
The men are killed... and the women, violated...
\endtext

\text
But now, in the city where Gluette was, it didn't seem like
such brutal acts were happening at all.

\endtext

\text("Gluette")
...I'm a little tired... Let's get an inn early today...

\endtext

\text
She glanced down at the map the guard had given her earlier.
\endtext

\text
It looked like there was an inn not far from here.

\endtext

\text
After getting a room, Gluette had an early dinner at the
tavern attached to the inn.
\endtext

\text("Gluette")
............
\endtext

\text
Then, she overheard the conversation of some men drinking at
the next table.
\endtext

\text("Man A")
Looks like Lord Caym has conquered another town, huh?

\endtext

\text("Man B")
Yeah, he's on a real roll.
\endtext

\text("Man C")
But the real amazing one is Lady Risbell, right? I heard
she's the one actually leading the Demon Lord's army.

\endtext

\text("Man A")
Yeah, seems like it. I'm jealous of Lord Caym.

\endtext

\text("Man B")
With such a cute strategist by his side, and on top of that,
he's banging women left and right, isn't he?
\endtext

\text("Man C")
I heard he captures hot women, fucks them like crazy, and
then brings them into his group. Seriously, what a lucky
guy.
\endtext

\text("Gluette")
...!?
\endtext

\text
Gluette's elegant brows furrowed.
\endtext

\text("Man B")
Apparently there was a real beauty in the town he just took
too.
\endtext

\text("Man C")
Rumor has it that beauty's already been trained by Lord Caym
and is totally head over heels for him.
\endtext

\text("Man A")
Seriously, Lord Caym really loves women. And yet, none of
them ever seem to hate him. He's got it made.

\endtext

\text("Gluette")
(...So it's true that Demon Lord Caym is a womanizer...)

\endtext

\text("Gluette")
(But why? With Risbell-san around, I thought he wouldn't
have any trouble with women...)

\endtext

\text("Gluette")
(And yet... and yet, why am I the one―!)

\endtext

\text("Gluette")
This is humiliating!!!
\endtext

\text
With a bang, she slammed her glass down on the table.
\endtext

\text
Everyone in the tavern turned to look at Gluette in
surprise.
\endtext

\text
But Gluette didn't care at all, grabbing her staff from
beside her and standing up.

\endtext

\text("Gluette")
Are you saying that, as a woman, I'm beneath Risbell-san?

\endtext

\text("Gluette")
Or worse, that I'm less attractive than the other women who
joined the Demon Lord's army?
\endtext

\text("Gluette")
...Unforgivable.
\endtext

\text
Gluette placed her payment on the table and left her seat.

\endtext

\text("Gluette")
I'll make you regret ever making a fool of me.

\endtext

\text
The men in the tavern, intimidated by Gluette's fierce
glare, stepped aside to let her pass.
\endtext

\text
That very night, Gluette checked out of her inn and headed
back to the labyrinth.
\endtext
