Commander?

“What is it? Are you going to be the one to deal with me next?”

Because I was quite upset, I blurted out lines that made me sound like a battle maniac.

Anyway, I couldn’t help but wanted to take this anger out on someone.

“Don’t get so worked up, Mr. Shin Walford. I’m not the most suitable person for such a job, am I?”

“Oh? Then why did you attacked me like that?”

If you didn’t intend to deal with me, why did you attack me?

What the hell was he saying?

“I wasn’t expecting you to join this war. It threw a wrench in my plans a little.”

“Stop bullshitting me! What plans!?”

My participation in this war was unexpected? What was he talking about…?

“…Hey. It couldn’t be, you guys…”

“Hmm. You’re making a lot of speculations, is that okay?”

“Huh? What?”

“I used to be a soldier of the Empire.”

“A soldier…”

So he was an officer in some kind of unit?

But what? Why did he suddenly say something like that?

When I was puzzled because I didn’t understand the intentions of the new devil called Zest, the answer came from a completely different place.

“Your Highness! Your Highness August!”

A soldier came running towards August from the rear where the Earlshide’s troops were retreating.

“What is it at a time like this?”

“Please excuse me! However! We have an urgent communication from all the allied nations!”

“Emergency communication?”

“Yes! For Earlshide and all the neighboring countries as well…”

What? It couldn’t be!?

“They say devils have appeared.”

“Wh-What did you say!?”

Aug made a flustered sound and looked at me.

“In the military, multiple contingency actions are taken in case of unforeseen circumstances”

Zest said with an impish smile.

“B-Bastard!”

“See. Are you sure you want to leave it alone? It is easy to bring down any country that doesn’t have you.”

I was really annoyed at Zest for saying such a thing with a smirk on his face.

“Damn! Th-This motherfucker!”

“Shin! We can deal with him later! The highest priority now is the devils that have appeared in each country!”

As soon as I turned to look at Aug, the newly appeared devil and the other two remaining devils left the scene.

“Well, we’ll leave you to it, then.”

I could only watch while biting my fingers in my mouth as they left after saying that.

We could chase after them and defeat them.

However, we also couldn’t just leave each country alone that was being attacked by the devils at this very moment.

“Damn it! Aug! Let’s hurry and defend each country!”

“I understand! Hey! The devils only appeared in the countries surrounding the old empire?”

“Ye-Yes! We’ve received no similar reports from Els and Ys!”

“If that’s the case…”

On the spot, Aug decides to send two people to each country and distributes them.

Then, the ones who were assigned to each country were immediately sent there using gates.

The total of five countries bordering the old empire were Earlshide, Swedes, Dahm, Canaan, and Kurt.

TwoWe needed more two people for this location as well and since we had 2 extra, Mark and Olivia stayed behind as liaisons

While waiting for contact from everyone, Mark was going to retrieve the horses that had been released.

My partner is…

“Miss Cecilia!”

“Huh? Oh-Oh that was amazing Shin… More importantly, what’s going on?”

“Devils have appeared in the surrounding countries, including Earlshide! The situation is time sensitive! Is it okay to bring Sicily with me?”

My words made Sicily panic.

“De-Devils! We-We have to go right away! Oh, but there are other people who need to be healed…”

“Sicily!”

Miss Cecilia rebuked Sicily who was conflicted about wanting to go and confront the devils, but also wanted to stay here and treat the injured soldiers.

“I’ll be fine here, so go with Shin. I’m ashamed that I was the one who was most seriously injured. After all, there’s nothing here that’s life threatening to me, so we’ll be fine on our own.”

“Bu-But…”

“Your desire to heal all people is admirable. But you have other things to do, don’t you?”

“……”

“You should have more faith in us. That’s my encouragement as an older sister who sends my younger sister to confront a devil.”

“Tha-That’s not true!”

“Shin! For that reason, please take care of Sicily!”

“I understand! Sicily, let’s go!”

“…Yes! I understand! Elder Sister, take care of the rest!”

“Leave it to me. Please be careful.”

“Yes!”

At Miss Cecilia’s persuasion, I took Sicily with me to subdue the devils.

We were assigned to Canaan.

With this, we were sent off by Miss Cecilia and headed to Canaan by using gate.

† ‡ † ‡ † ‡ † ‡ † ‡ † ‡ † ‡ †

After Shin and Sicily left for Canaan, Sicily’s sister Cecilia, who was left behind, addressed everyone

“Now that I’ve said that to her. Don’t let anyone die, okay?”

“”””OOHH!!”””‘

The healer magicians responded to Cecilia’s words by shouting.

In fact, Cecilia was undoubtedly the most severely injured, but that did not mean that the others were not seriously injured or unharmed.

Even if the injuries were not life-threatening, there were still people with broken bones, lacerations, and other serious injuries.

Cecilia was determined to help every single one of those patients because she’d said something that sounded like a bad omen such as: “Leave this to me and go ahead”

But…

“I’m not the one who’s going to treat them, though…”

Even so, the healers responded to Cecilia’s words only because Cecilia was Sicily’s sister, who was praised as a saint.

She had left the task of defeating the devils to her sister and her companions, as she was unable to properly heal them.

Cecilia bit her lip at such unworthiness.

“I want to be stronger…”

Cecilia said something that would make Royce, the eldest brother of Sicily and her, shiver if he heard it.

“Please be safe…”

Looking up at the now silent sky of the battlefield, littered with the corpses of disaster-level demons, Cecilia could only pray for the safety of her sister and brother-in-law who were on their way to defeat the devils.
