(Flashing back in real-time with the demon group)

A few days before Pope Ekaterina was attacked.

In the former imperial capital within the demon’s territory, Schtrom called Zest, the head of the intelligence unit, to speak with him.

“It seems like a lot of different things are now motion”

“Excuse me. I’m afraid I have foolishly hoped to find something for you to peruse, Master Schtrom.”

“Hmm. I see. But I think it is better to put an end to that for now.”

“What do you mean?’

“The results of Miss Miria’s experiments finally arrived”

“Well, that’s…” – hearing this news made Zest nervous.

After hearing about Schtrom’s past, Miria had proposed an experiment. The contents of the experiment were very important, because it might determine the future of themselves, the devils.

The first stage of the experiment was successfully completed.  After the completion, Zest and the other devils were waiting for the result, but he has been informed that the results had arrived.  

“The results found are…”

Zest is holding his breath while waiting for the rest of the news.

(Switching back in realtime with the remaining group)

A call came in from Diseum asking for Shin’s help; Pope Ekaterina had been stabbed with a poison blade and the poison could not be cured by normal means. 

And by the time Shin went to Ys with Merlin, August and the others, who had sent Shin off, looked at each other with grimeace faces.

“Shin … Will you be in time?” – Thor worrisome words express everyone’s inner thoughts.

“If she’s still alive… I’m sure he can handle it.  The only question is whether he’ll get there in time…”

The gathered people have a great deal of faith in Shin. Everyone trusted him without a doubt that Shin would be able to heal anything but the dead. However, once you die, even Shin cannot revive the dead. That’s why he will remind them often not to die. If you only suffer wounds and don’t die, something could be done about it.

Knowing that he can use that much healing magic, he will manage the healing if only she is alive. Everyone here belong to the Creationist religion, whether they are devout or not. That’s why they were was desperately praying that he would somehow make it in time while she was still alive.

At that moment. The bell on August’s communication device rings again.

“Hello! Shin!? What’s wrong!?”

Seeing Shin has just headed for Ys with gate moments earlier, August wonders why he is contacting him so soon, making him shout at the communicator… Imagining the worst scenarios.  

“Sorry, August. I’m not Shin”

“…Oh, it is you father. I’m sorry for shouting at you.”

“No, it is fine. You’re worried about Ekaterina, so don’t worry about it. More than that, I have bad news, about something horrible that has happened!”

Bad news coming from the king of the great kingdom of Earlshide. Those words send a chill down August’s spine.

“What do you mean by ‘bad news’?” 

“I’m sorry, but hurry up to the frontline”

“To the front lines?”

“Oh, at the frontline … a disaster-class monster has appeared!”

 “What? A disaster class?”

With the number of devils decreasing, the disaster class was believed to have proportionately decreased as well, but one had appeared. August grits his teeth at the words of Diseum, wondering if he had overlooked something. However, a disaster class is actually appearing at this very moment, he can’t afford to regret this oversight right now.

“I understand! I’m heading out immediately!”

“Please do! I need you to move closer to the location via gate, and from there go to the frontline using a carriage at full speed! Is Mark-Bean there with you!?

“Mark! Your father needs you!”

“Oh, is it me this time?”

“It’s an emergency! Quickly!”

“Y-ye-ye-yes! We-We have switched! This is M-Ma-Ma-Mark Bean!”

Mark, who had somewhat become accustomed to the situation that any ordinary person would be overwhelmed, like being name called by king and rebuked by the crown prince, oddly answers the communication device while biting his tongue.

“Mark! Did you work on the carriage itself at Bean’s Workshop!?”

Diseum knew that the Bean’s Workshop only manufactured and sold the parts for the carriages in order to avoid uproar in the market. However, Diseum had a certain suspicion.

“Ye-yes! We have created a larger one at the request of Wolford!”

“Yes, of course you did. In the name of Diseum, King of Earlshide, I command you! Use that carriage to send the Ultimate Magicians to the frontline! I’ll tell Shin later! Move out!”

Diseum was convinced that there was no reason why Shin hadn’t used his developed technology to make a carriage for himself. So he had decided beforehand that he would use Shin’s carriage for this mission.

“Un-Understood!”

“Good! Then go!”

“Y-Ye-Yes!”

With that said, the communication from Diseum was cut off.

“So, Your Highness!”

“You heard what my father said! Let’s get to the workshop now!”

“Understood”

Mark opens the gate to the workshop, which is also his home, and everyone walks through it. There was a single newly completed carriage inside the workshop.

“Dad!”

“Fool! I have told you to call me master when you are in the workshop!” – The workshop owner, Mark’s father, screams out loudly as he stands next to the carriage.

“That’s not the point! Wolford’s carriage, can it be used soon?!”

“Ah? Yes. I’m ready to deliver the completed carriage any day now”

“It’s an edict from His Majesty! We’re going to have to use that carriage!

“Wai… an edict?!”

The carriage was built by Harold himself from start to finish at the Bean’s Workshop, which was made-to-order by Shin. Since it would be for Shin himself, and wouldn’t be sell to other people, Shin went all out and requested it with various functions without discretion. Why would Shin not use floating magic, or gate magic instead? That being said, it’s simply his obsession for real traveling in pleasure as part of his journey that he desired for That’s just among the reasons why men have a weakness for the phrase “state-of-the-art”.

Such an outrageous carriage is said to be used under the command of the king. Harold Bean, the owner of Bean’s workshop, was astonished and burdened at the call of “king’s edict”. 

“I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to explain! I’ll tell Shin about the situation later! Where are the horses!?”

“Ye-Yes! If you don’t mind using my horses…”

August tells the stunned Harold, to prepare the horses. This workshop has a carriage to deliver the completed items made by the workshop, using their own horses, although they are not special war horses. Incidentally, this were also the horses that pulled the carriage during shin’s carriage test drive.

“That’s fine with me! Please fit any carriage horse harness you can find! Hurry!”

“Ye-Yes!” Hey, bastards! Get the harnesses mounted on the double!”

“YES SIR!”

At August’s command to hurry, the craftsmen in the workshop quickly install the harness and they are ready to leave.

“I’m sorry to put you on the spot! Mark, please assist! All aboard! We’re leaving now!”

“Yes!”

August designates Mark as a coachman, who may be accustomed to maneuvering this new carriage, and instructs everyone else to board the carriage. They know the direction and head towards the frontline, which is located within demon’s territory. The Gate is opened linking to the point where the Earlshide’s Army and the Allied Forces of each country were jointly dealing with the disaster class demon.

“Mark, Go!”

“Understood!”

Mark immediately drives the carriage towards the gate at August’s command. The craftsmen of Bean’s Workshop gaze in amazement as August and the others suddenly appeared and left in a flash.

“All of the Ultimate Magicians are dispatched? What had happen to have such urgent … to leave in such a hurry…”

Harold mutters his thoughts which are being shared by all who are present there. And they were struck by the tremendous anxiety as to why the invincible group had been in such a hurry.
