Chapter44，Part2
Political players have it tough. Cam and Nicholas would like to find evidence to use as a foothold to move things in their favor, but will that happen before my death flags arrive?
“Setup [Switch Dress]”
That’s why I was working undercover this time. What was the reason? To put it simply, I was angry and wanted to retaliate.
With an item that I found in the depths of my bag for an event, I temporarily dyed my dress black, put on a visor to cover my eyes, and went down to a farm in a rural mountain area.
“Oh, I was right.”
As expected, or perhaps because I am a stubborn person who never misses a point, I found out that everything at the back of the farmland consisted of pharmaceutical plants of the bad kind.
The security and traps had been unusually tight since halfway through the journey, so it was easy to understand. I suspected there were some counterintelligence agents mixed in, so it would be better to at least clear away some of those special agents.
“…hmm?”
I feel a presence approaching from afar. To be more specific, it was as if red spots of light had sprung up on a radar in my head.
At this speed, I wondered if it was just dogs. I also felt magical power, so maybe a type of monster?
If I leave them unattended, the security people would be alerted.
“[Fire Ball]”
Without worrying about being engulfed in flames, I scatter fireballs over a wide area. Oh, it’s hot, so hot. Better not to breathe the smoke.
From everywhere, Dog-like screeches and angry shrieks echoed.
I ran around and shot [Fire Ball], cut down the monsters that were on the way, and finally used another magic attack from a distance.
“[Typhoon]”
I chanted and a huge gust of wind blew over a wide area, instantly magnifying the flames.
This was a 5th class wind area magic [Typhoon]. It was magic that simply blasted away low-level enemies over a wide area, so of course it was not as powerful as an actual typhoon.
“Pochi”.
I called its name amidst the flames, and a few minutes later, a massive jet-black body descended, illuminated by slightly vermilion flames, as if to fill the starry sky.
[Did you call me, Carol?]
“I’ve done what I had to do, let’s go to the next place.”
[Let me have the next one.]
“Nn.”
Oh, and I almost forgot about the dragon bracelet. I’d have Pochi wear it the next time.
After two hours of flying on Pochi’s back, a port town came into view.
[Which ship are you looking for?]
“The big one.”
[…Got it.]
The ship was used for intercontinental trade, so I assumed it would be much larger than other vessels.
Well, joking aside, since the ship belonged to the Prime Minister, it was said to have an insignia on the mast, but it would be troublesome to search for them one by one.
Even if we found them, the sailors could be carrying them without knowing anything about them, so it would be a better idea to just sink them as is.
[Carol, there is a big ship offshore. There’s a small one, too.]
“Nn.”
There was a big ship floating in the night sea. How did you notice it? As a reward, I stroke its neck and look closely at the ship…
“Pochi, go in there and burn the big boat.”
[What? Is that all we have to do?]
“Just hurry up.”
[Hmm.]
Pochi flapped its wings once and flew toward the big ship, while I prepared to shoot my magic at the same time.
“–[Dragon Breath]–“
[Guooooooooooooooh!!!]
My [Dragon Breath] and Pochi’s flame breath burned away the deck of the huge ship.
[Smaller ships next?]
“Not those.”
The sudden appearance of the black dragon and me in a black gown riding it frightened the sailors of the small ships, and they turned back toward the harbor.
[What’s wrong?]
“That big ship. Pirates.”
I could see from a distance that those little ships were being attacked by a bigger ship.
I couldn’t tell which side was bad, but the crew of the bigger ship looked like bandits, so I assumed they were pirates.
“Oh, look.”
The pirate ship was engulfed in flames and I picked up a flag that was floating in the sea.
“It’s the insignia of the Prime Minister, so it doesn’t matter.”
[Oh, oh… I see…]
I felt a little better, having dealt a major blow to the Prime Minister’s wallet.
A few days later, [Woman in black dress riding a Black Dragon] was the topic of conversation in the port town, and for some reason there were rumors that the Demon Lord had attacked.
I didn’t understand it at all.
Then, one day, the knight who had been accompanying Cam and had been behaving badly only towards me, asked me with a puzzled look on his face.
“I’m sorry about the other day. …And, um…”
“Nn?”
When I tilted my head at the knight, who seemed to have a blank expression on his face for some reason, he said with a bright red face.
“I want you to introduce me to that adventurer woman called Witch!”
…Hah?
