Hinata felt hopeless when she grasped the current situation,
However, as the supreme leader, such emotion can’t be shown in her expression.
The main church in the Ingrassia Kingdom is filled with the citizens who have taken shelter in it.
Hinata greatly understood that she couldn’t allow anxiety to be seen on her face in front of them.
Just before noon on the second day after Velda’s declaration, each of the countries’ capitals fell into chaos.
The citizens showed various reactions, there were people who ran away for their own lives, people who rioted, and people who welcome the death Velda will bring.
The Holy Knights and trained priests that were dispatched to each country worked hard to suppress the citizens’ confusion and guide them to shelter.
There’s no other word apart from splendid for their ability to suppress the people’s confusion just by one day.
It was a great achievement accomplished under the command of Hinata who is the chairwoman of the Freedom Arbitration Committee with the cooperation of Nicholas who is a cardinal of the Holy Church.
To the confused citizens, she explained that it’s impossible for Demon Lord Rimuru to be defeated which calmed down their anxiety.
The governing body of each country who knows Demon Lord Rimuru showed an immediate settling down, but it can’t earn the trust of the countries which didn’t associate with Rimuru.
Even Hinata understands that it can’t be helped.
Even if she said to believe in Demon Lord, there might be a few people who are convinced.
However, even so, there’s no choice but to believe now.
After all, if the Demon Lord Alliance was defeated, this world will be destroyed by Velda.
Therefore, Hinata didn’t waver.
The things that Hinata can do now are to prevent chaos and suppress the citizens’ anxiety even by a little.
Hinata did her best as the leader of the army to guarantee the citizens’ safety.
But――
Rioters were unavoidable at the end of the world.
In addition to their bad character, they showed up and chose the worst decision at the worst time which became the primary factor that tormented Hinata and co.
Those people mobilized all of the country power and have Hinata and co cornered.
They denounced Hinata as a witch who deceived people’s mind, which fueled the people’s anxiety.
A witch who was charmed by the Demon Lord, the one who leads everyone to ruin―― they loudly exclaimed, the Holy Church of the Ingrassia Kingdom where Hinata is in was surrounded.
The citizens who have taken shelter inside the main church borrowed under the name of the Freedom Arbitration Committee looked at Hinata with their anxious faces.
That might be so.
After all, the one who denounces Hinata……
『My people! That witch had falsely accused me and made me lost my position in the council.
Moreover, she killed my father and brought chaos and sorrow to this country.
If you all are wise, I believe that you’ll understand whose words are correct!』
