Chapter 11: A Fight Didn’t Occur.
(Celia’s POV)
Ino: “W-what are your intentions in coming here?” She asked, practically shaking in her boots.
Celia: “I didn’t come to this country in specific, I just picked a random direction to fly in, and ended up here. My goal is to just find some powerful monsters to kill, so that I can get EXP.” I explained in a coaxing tone, trying to calm the woman down.
At this point, Ino was very much aware that, not she, or the army that she brought, could hope to do anything at all to me. Which is why she even admitted to how she could prepare this all, even though I got here so quickly.
She could just foresee certain events happening, and she saw me, a ridiculously powerful being, showing up at this port city, many days prior, so she came here to intercept me.
Of course, she could only get an inkling of my power, that is why Ino didn’t just give up on this idea from the start. The NPC me didn’t show her power at all, and restricted it to an extreme. But I am not so good at that, so Ino noticed my power slightly.

Ino: “There are… a few troublesome monsters around in this country. Ones that I wish to one day be strong enough to kill myself, but cannot do so yet.” She said with a thinking pose.
Celia: “Direct me to all of them, please.” I request with a smile.
Ino: “Are you going to kill them all?” She asked with a curious tone.
Celia: “It depends. I might leave some of them alive, depending on how sentient and benevolent they end up being.” I answer in reply, with an unsure tone.
In truth, I have to go off what the System tells me when I inspect them. Even if evil, I do not wish to kill something that’ll give me a major sin for doing so.
Ino: “If you would please, come with me to my tower. You can rest there for a bit, and then I’ll draw up a perfect map for you.” She proposed.
Celia: “Sure, that would be great! Please lead the way.” I quickly agreed.
Keep in mind, I totally have the power to just take that information directly from her mind, but I won’t attempt such a thing. After all, it seems pretty evil to do, and I haven’t ever done it before. What if I make this respectable woman in to a vegetable by complete accident?
Faith: “The woman isn’t lying, but do be careful, Celia. Not everyone has seen your Status, you know.” She advised.
Celia: “Be careful? They can’t hurt me at all. At most, they’ll just force my hand in killing them. That is, unless those who go against me are female.” I reply with a shrug.
Faith: “True, true… At the very least, it will probably be interesting!” She said with an excited tone.
Leaving the army behind, Ino and I started to fly. Since she was far slower than me, and how Ino needed to guide me to her tower, I just slowly flew behind her. Now then, I wonder what interesting events await me in her tower?…
