◇Mito's POV◇

"Nothing to do at all~"

Sitting down on top of a water tower in the downtown, I look down below .

Ichirou-nii picked me up this morning, so I've been watching over the orphanage where Shin-kun is, but there's really nothing happening .

The green demon that came to the Royal Capital last night didn't get in touch with Shin-kun either, so I'm thinking that this child might not be related to the recent series of events .

--Oops, found a contact!

Some evil-looking men approach Shin-kun and the children of the orphanages who have come to a well to draw water .

I can't hear them . . . . I'll try using [Hearing Boost] magic .

"--Transport these . "

"And the reward?"

"I'll give you a meal once you've finished transporting it . That's fine with you right?"

"I want something that can be brought back to the orphanage . "

Arara, isn't he a good child . No wonder Ichirou-nii would meddle .

It seems they're reached an agreement, Shin-kun leaves the children to draw water and then follows the men .

I put on the body-hiding mantle, and chase after them by jumping on the roofs .

"I should just transport this right?"

"Yeah, bring it to the warehouse pass the cemetery . You've gone there before, so you know right?"

Shin-kun and several children of the same age are pulling a cart .

The men who gave them the job are from a gray firm called [Stolen Goods Fox] . As the name suggest, they're probably dealing with stolen goods .

Without being called out by the guards, Shin-kun and the others transported the cart to the cemetery just before the destination .

And there, three men in violet priest clothes are blocking their way .

There is no priest clothes in violet color .

But there were people like them when I was working as a king .

--Demon god believers, [Complete Equality] .

I checked them with Appraisal skill, but they're not those guys .

Looks like they're a part of a carefree occult club called [Wind of Liberty] that I've heard from Ichirou-nii before .

But, there's something strange . The priests' states are strange . When I check further, they're in the state of [Suggestion] .

"Whaat? Oy, priests? You're in the way, can you get out of the road?"

One of the boys who are transporting the goods threatened the three priests .

"Gang of thieves . Know that there is an item that we need to offer to his majesty inside that cart . "

"Leave it here and go away . "

"If you do, we will not take your lives . "

The three announce that indifferently, the boys are drawing their swords, enraged .

"Don't joke around! We'll be held responsible if we abandon the cart . Come if you don't value your life!"

"Very well . "

Sneering at that childish threat, the priests pull out rapiers .

Fu~mu, it'll be problematic if Shin-kun is hurt, I'll try asking what those guys want .

I jump out of the grove, and land before the men .

I ward off the swinging rapier with a broom, and block the thrusting rapier with a small shield of [Auto Defense] .

"Who are you!"

"Hi~ I'm a passing beau~ty"

The men are grimacing to my smile, and the boys look weary .

These are some very rude guys . I'd like to let them drink some dirt from Ichirou-nii's fingernail . <TLN: Japanese proverb, same meaning as 'take a leaf out of someone's book' . >

"That move--woman! You must be Ryouna the 『Mower』 of Shiga Eight Swords!"

"To think that they'd smell out our plan this fast!"

"We can't hesitate anymore . "

The priests jump back and put down their rapiers .

"Will you surrender?"

They ignored me even though I kindly suggested it .

The three priests took something red from their chests, put it on their foreheads, and then say something simultaneously .

"""O Short Horn, feed upon our desire to grant us violent power"""

Together with the priests' shouts, something break through their priests' clothes, and then they change into gorilla-like lesser demons .

"You guys, escape!"

As I order them, the boys try to run away while desperately pulling the cart .

"Just dump the luggage!"

--GRROUWWWN .

As if interrupting my warning, the gorillas wreck the surrounding with storm magic .

The cart is overturned, and the boys fall to the tombstones .

Good, Shin boy is alright .

The other children are getting up and running away in groups of two and three .

I pour magic power into the holy sword taken out from Inventory and recite the holy verse .

"<<DANCE>> Claiomh Solais, become 13 blades, dancing in the sky . "

The holy swords turns the lower demons into black dust one after another .

I look around to find the wire puller who manipulated them while seeing the reliable holy swords on the corner of my vision .

--There .

A short beastfolk disappears into the thicket that surround the cemetery .

I'm worried about Shin boy and the luggage, but I'll chase that guy first .

I should've contracted a new familiar after waking up in the ruin .

◇Shin's POV◇

What is this?

What?

What is this!

Just when some priests blocked my work transporting a cart, a strange aunty cut in, and in the end the people turned into monsters .

Isn't that strange?

It's too strange!

"Oy! Let's run! Stop dawdling!"

Jeje the Lizardfolk who's usually taciturn urges everyone .

I hurriedly begin to push back the cart .

"Just throw the luggage!"

The aunty shouted from behind, but we can't do that .

This portage work is a job from a crime guild .

If we break or steal the luggage, we'll be treated harsher than turning into slaves .

--GRROUWWWN .



Storm raged from behind, we're blown away together with the cart .

"D-demons!"

"Run!"

Everyone scrambles away .

I also desperately crawl below the overturned cart .

When I push some obstructing boxes, a statue of goddess falls out from the inside .

For some reason I can't get my eyes off it even though it's at a time like this .

The second storm rages on when my hand reaches out to that goddess statue .

I roll on the ground while holding the goddess statue .

I saw blue light swords pulled by the aunty turning the lesser demons into black dust .

The aunty shouts, "Wait!", and then she jumps out to the other side of the cemetery .

--Am I saved?

I feel something odd in my hand while feeling relieved .

The goddess statue has crumbled into sand .

A violet orb appeared from the inside .

I scoop the orb that's emitting ominous light from the interior, and hold it over the sunlight .

◇Arisa's POV◇

--This is bad .

"I wonder how will Sir Pendragon interpret this formula . "

Like so .

"This cake was made by Sir Pendragon right . He's really versatile isn't he . "

Or so, Princess Shistina's reaction is bad .

Looking at her reaction and the flow, she's too much like a girl in love .

Thanks to that, the matter of [Nectar] or Hisui weren't talked about much, so we were saved though .

Geez, she's just too easy .

Perhaps our Master has the qualification as a first-rate flag architect?

That Master of ours had just contacted me with [Short Message] magic, telling that he had obtained the [Chant Orb] safely .

He probably mailed cause I wouldn't pick up [Telephone] .

The writing style is so merry you wouldn't have thought it was the usual Master .

It's too frustrating that I can't preserve it .

At the end of that message, he wrote that in order to master the chant and to register magic into the magic column, he would go to, "A place where I wouldn't worry about human damage . "

He's probably experimenting in the vast desert to the west of Labyrinth City Selbira .

My tension is rising just by imagining the spectacle .

Maybe I should cut the tea party short and go visit it with Mia .

Mia who looks like she'll vomit sugar seeing Shistina chattering fondly of Master, mutters, "Mwu?"

I can hear pitter-patter footsteps from the direction where she's looking at .

"Onee-sama!"

Loli princess Doris who jumped into the room hugs Shistina .

The attendants of Doris who are running after her from behind apologize for the rudeness in panic .

It seems courtesy is required if you're sister princesses of a large kingdom .

"That Hisui you see, even though she had gone back to her cage and ate her meal before I knew it yesterday, she's gone again just now!"

"How mysterious--"



The bird has drank Nectar after all, I wonder if she's gained some strange ability or something?

I have to report to Master and ask if we need to do something about it .

If possible, in the bed while we're huddling our faces together--guhehehe .

My delightful delusion is interrupted by pirupiru chirps .

"Hisuiiiii!"

Hisui who's appeared in the room before anyone knew pulls Doris's hair and dress, trying to take her somewhere .

"No! Stop it, Hisui!"

However, it seems Princess Doris doesn't understand it .

This time, she's flying around Shistina, doing her best to take her outside .

I'm bothered with Hisui's curious desperation .

Did she get an ability to detect disaster after drinking the Nectar?

"Nn, piruru, piru, piru . "

When Mia mimicked Hisui's cry, Hisui chirped back, "pipirupirupiru" too .

"As expected of elf-sama, she understands bird's language!"

One of the maids speaks with admiration .

Mia continues to pirupiru with a composed face, but she's just playing around by mimicking the chirping .

If this were a manga, there would sweat marks on Mia's face, no doubt .

While also helping Mia, I'll go check the royal capital from the top of the big sakura tree .

"I'll be going to the washroom for a bit . "

After telling so, I take Mia along into a private luxurious toilet .

"Master hasn't contacted us with anything so I think it's fine, but let's check out outside for a bit . "

"Nn . "

I can't teleport to a precise location without a carved seal board, so I teleport to the sky above the big sakura tree .

The sunlight is darkened even though it should be clear today .

"Arisa, above . "

"Ugeh, the heck is thaaaaaat!"

After teleporting to the top of the big sakura tree and sitting down, I looked above urged by Mia, and screamed to the abnormal scene before my eyes .

"A rock?"

I see a huge rock trying to come out of a crack in the sky on top of the royal castle .

It's as big as the whole royal castle .

If that falls, there will be a lot of victims from the castle .

I immediately invoke [World Phone], but I can't connect to Master .

It's not blocked, the reaction feels like when Telephone magic can't reach a target that's too far away .

"Arisa . "

--It can't be helped, let's decide quickly .

"Over Boost"

Violet glow is wrapping me .

I take the coolest looking pose, and then shout out the magic name with fighting spirit .

"『Gate』 open!"

Riding on my spirit, the effect of Unique Skill is raised .

A teleport gate at the size that can swallow a private house is opened in the sky .

But it's too small to redirect that rock .



"Magic potion . "

With fighting spirit, I gulp down the magic potion that Mia gives me .

It' super sweet . It's sweet enough my teeth feel like melting, but power is gushing forth .

Master's love recovers my magic power in a flash .

"Over Boost aaaand, 『Gate』 opeen!"

By overlapping the magic, the teleport gate widens .

Violet light coils the dimension rift, widening the teleport gate .

But, it's still a bit short .

The royal castle should be saved with just this much, but enormous damage will appear on the castle's surrounding .

The parking lot where Zena-tan and her friends are standing by and the guest house where Karina is should be in danger .

"Blood . "

The capillary on my fingers have torn and blood are spurting out of it, maybe because I was repeatedly being forceful .

I'll say thanks later to Mia who wraps them with a handkerchief .

I drink the second magic potion, and use the Unique Skill for the third time today .

Over Boost .

The depth of my soul is screaming like creaking sounds .

A pain that's about three time more painful than wisdom teeth attacks my body .

I think Master warned me about it back then .

If you over-use Unique Skill, the vessel of your soul would break, and you'd fall into a demon lord .

--But, if I run away here, it'll be a disgrace as a woman!

I'll lose if I don't push myself here!

"Gooooooooooo!"

I put all of my magic power, and then the [Gate] widens even though it's destabilizing .

I can't control the teleport gate with my ability .

『Dryad! Lend us your power! The requester is Misanalia! A spirit user of Boruenan Forest possessing Spirit Eyes!』

『Okay~, the sakura tree will disappear if I don't help here . 』

Mia shouted something in elf language, and then a pink-colored dryad appeared from the big sakura tree .

『Young lady, I'll connect your wand with the sakura tree to be an assist, do your best after that . 』

I don't understand her words, but the control suddenly feels easier .

The [Gate] that was about to dissolve any moment became like a calm water surface .

And then, the huge rock finally falls from the sky .

No! The position is a bit bad .

--Funnu .

I fire myself up and shift the [Gate] to the site where the huge rock falls .

It seems my forehead's blood vessels have erupted, my view is dyed red .

However, it was worth overdoing!

The huge rock falls out of the [Gate] to the outskirt plain . Whenever the huge rock hits the ground, around magnitude 3 earthquake shakes the royal capital .

The huge rock falls just like that, splitting the mountain nearby, and then stops .

"Huu, this is thanks to Hisui . Putting us aside, if that child didn't inform us, the people of the royal castle wouldn't be saved . "

"Arisa . "

While drinking the magic potion that Mia gave me, I shift my gaze to the emergency alarm magic tool that's been ringing since awhile ago .

This is a tool to notify us when something is happening with our group .

The lamp indicating Liza is shining .
