“…And that’s the situation.” (Florencia)
Florencia, sitting upright with a serious expression, was looking down.
She is a descendant of the Dark Elves, one of the few remaining in this world, and has been granted the title of “Sorceress” in the Istania Kingdom. However, due to her occupation as a “Sorceress,” she is disliked by some members of the royal family and the nobility of the Istania Kingdom. As a result, she hides her true identity as a Dark Elf and lives her life in secret. It seems she came to study abroad in this country to escape from being targeted by the nobility in her homeland.
Well, I had already heard the basics about her from Themis, so I knew this from the start. By the way, in Florencia’s route in Enhaz Second, the protagonist and other heroines get involved after rescuing her from assassins sent by the Istania Kingdom nobility. Themis advised me to be cautious of that. Though Themis no longer has any power, she still seems to want to avoid any alterations to the storyline. It’s a little late for that now, though.
“So, why were you in the graveyard?” (Harold)
“Yes. I am a Sorceress, so I use the power of the dead as a medium. This transformation, too, is all thanks to the power of the dead.” (Florencia)
As she said this, Florencia changed her skin color to white and also altered her ears to resemble a normal human’s.
The power of the dead wasn’t available to the original Enhaz protagonist, so this must have been added as a new skill in Enhaz Second.
“Please! I beg of you, keep this a secret!” (Florencia)
Florencia bowed deeply, and as I looked at Xandra and Monica, I subtly gestured toward them. They nodded in agreement.
“Alright. We just happened to pass by, so we’ll pretend we didn’t see anything.” (Harold)
“Ah, thank you very much!” (Florencia)
Florencia’s face lit up, and she bowed again. As for me, I felt an overwhelming sense of guilt for following her around and peeping, and even engaging in behavior that could be considered sexual harassment.
“Well then, there’s no point in staying here forever. Anyway, I’ll go change out of these muddy clothes…” (Harold)
As I stood up and was about to leave…
“!? Aaahhhhh!!!” (Florencia)
“Florencia-san!?” (Monica)
Florencia screamed and was dragged into the swamp again.
Seriously, how did she end up digging her own grave like this?
“Here, grab hold.” (Harold)
“Y-yes!” (Florencia)
I grabbed her hand and managed to pull her out. In the end, all of us got covered in mud.
“By the way, why didn’t you cancel the skill?” (Harold)
“I-I’m sure I canceled Bottomless Swamp… I definitely did…” (Florencia)
“But the swamp is still here.” (Harold)
“Hawa…” (Florencia)
I see. Normally, Dark Elves tend to be either tsundere, like Carla, or cool characters, but who would have thought Florencia would turn out to be a clumsy, ditzy character? That’s a bit of a surprise. Hmm? Are you saying I don’t like that kind of heroine? Well, I actually love them. However, now isn’t the time to be thinking about such things. Because…
“Uh… this means we’ve entered Florencia’s route, doesn’t it?” (Harold)
“…Huh?” (Themis)
That evening, after I reported to Themis that I had made contact with Florencia, she responded with that.
“Wait a second. Didn’t Themis say that if we saved Florencia from assassins sent by the Istania Kingdom, we’d enter her route? So…?” (Harold)
“That’s right. This means that Haru-sama saved the character ‘Florencia,’ who was about to drown in her own Bottomless Swamp, right?” (Themis)
“…Huh?” (Harold)
Wasn’t the swamp Florencia’s Bottomless Swamp skill?
“Florencia’s route involves assassins from the Istania Kingdom targeting her, and those assassins are from another Sorceress family in the Istania Kingdom.” (Themis)
“…Huh!?” (Harold)
W-wait, that was never mentioned! And unlike with Cristia or Rize, I haven’t kept track of the details of Enhaz Second events, so I wish Themis would’ve told me more about it beforehand…
“By the way, the reason the character ‘Florencia’ is being targeted by the Istania Kingdom is…” (Themis)
Themis started speaking in a self-satisfied manner, explaining things as if she were the one who knew everything. I couldn’t help but clench my fists in frustration. After listening to Themis’s explanation, I finally understood the full scope of Florencia’s route.
First, Florencia’s attribute is a new “Evil” attribute added in Enhaz Second. According to Themis, it is the counterpart to Cristia’s “Holy” attribute. While only Cristia possesses the Holy attribute in Enhaz Second, there are many characters with the Evil attribute. This is probably to emphasize Cristia’s special status as the face of Enhaz. In other words, it’s a clear case of favoritism.
Now, the reason Florencia is being targeted. It is…
“It’s the work of another Sorceress family within the Istania Kingdom.” (Themis)
