What awaited us through the gate was a mixed force of both the shepherds and Canaan’s army.

As per usual, the shepherds’ presence was unmatched.

“Hmm? Oh! Isn’t it Shin!”

“Long time no see, Mr. Garan! Where’s the devil?”

The first person to call out to me was Mr. Garan, one of the country’s sheep farmer, and I asked him about the current situation.

“That’s… “

Looking a little confused, Mr. Garan turned his gaze to…

There it is! It’s a devil!

However, the appearance of the devil is strange.

“… Yah, what’s he doing?”

The devil was one, and it just stood there without doing anything.

“That’s the thing, I thought a devil had appeared, but, he just sat there and did nothing.”

“Doing nothing?”

“Yeah. But he’s a devil. It’s not something we can handle. We can’t even touch them, so I’m not sure what to do…ah!”

“Eh?”

In the middle of our conversation, Mr. Garan raised his voice while looking at the devil.

When I looked in that direction too, I saw the devil running away from this place at a tremendous speed.

“Ah!”

The devil had run off to a distance where he could no longer be seen.

“What the hell…Wha-What?”

It was so unexpected that my earlier anger was blown away and I just stared at him dumbfounded.

“Anyway, Shin, we have to report to Mr. Mark and the others.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

I took out my wireless communication device and contacted Mark.

“Oh, Shin!”

Sicily rushed to stop me, but Mark had answered.

I apologized to Sicily with my hand and began communicating with Mark.

And then, for some reason, Sicily put a cloak on me.

It’s not really cold, is it?

I think so, but I can’t keep Mark waiting, so I start talking.

“Hello, Mark?”

“Oh, is it Mr. Wolford? Have you already defeated the devil?”

“No, he ran away without doing anything.”

“He ran away?”

“Yeah, has there been any reports from the others yet?”

“Wolford was the first to report for me… Oh, I think Olivia has been contacted.”

Mark was busy with me, so they probably contacted Olivia.

After waiting for a while for the report, Mark informed me of the situation.

“It looks like the same thing happened to the others. After all it seems that he ran away without doing anything.”

“I see…”

What did they intend to do in the end?

“For the time being, I’ll cut this short because I’ve got reports from other people.”

“Oh, I understand.”

I cut the communication with Mark and looked at Sicily.

“What are they trying to do?”

“Geez! Shin…”

As she said that, Sicily retrieved her cloak and put it on herself again.

“What? What is it with the cloak?”

“Geez, it is fine. The devil’s intention… Sorry, I don’t know.”

“No, I don’t know either, so don’t apologize.”

I think a single devil could cause a lot of damage…

More importantly, I’m also worried about Sicily’s behavior.

Wha-What was that?

As I was thinking this, Mr. Garan called out to me.

“Hey, Shin. That thing of yours is…”

“Huh? Oh, this is…”

Oh no, I used the wireless communication device even though Mr. Garan was here.

Oh, that’s what Sicily was trying to tell me earlier!

“Um, excuse me, but it is confidential…”

“Hmm… you know, is that the wireless version of the communication device that’s being talked about in each country right now? Don’t use such a state secrets so easily…”

“Ah, haha. I’m sorry.”

“Well, it looks like I’m the only one who saw it up close, so I’ll keep my mouth shut. Be careful next time, okay?”

“I’m sorry. Thank you very much.”

I’m glad Mr. Garan was a good person.

“Geez. What would you do if somebody with an evil intention saw you?”

“So-Sorry. I was careless just now…”

Sicily seemed to have noticed, and everyone else must be doing it just fine.

I can’t help but have an image of a cell phone I used in a previous life, so I might be quick to use it.

“Please be careful. Your actions are now being watched by every country in the world, right?”

“All the countries is an exaggeration…”

“It’s not an exaggeration! You can see the proof at…”

Sicily turned her attention to the mixed troops of the Shepherds and Canaan’s army forces.

Most of them were looking at us.

“…How did you manage to prevent them from seeing the communication earlier…”

“I put a cloak on Shin and activated the optical camouflage. Mr. Garan saw it from the front, so…”

Oh, by the way, I’m not wearing the combat uniform right now.

That was why Sicily put the cloak on me!

“Sorry. Thank you, Sicily.”

“Please be careful, okay?　If something happens to Shin, I’ll…”

Sicily said so, but this time, the opposite almost happened.

I nearly lost Sicily from the devil’s magical attack earlier.

When I thought about it, I suddenly felt scared and unconsciously embraced her.

“Eh? Ah, Shin…”

“I was scared… I thought I might have lost Sicily…”

“Shin…”

What would happen to me if I lost Sicily to something like that?

When I thought about it, I couldn’t help but love the warmth that was in my arms right now.

I vowed that I would definitely protect this warmth.

While I was vowing so inwardly, Sicily was fidgeting in my arms.

“What’s wrong? Sicily.”

“Oh, um… behind…”

“Behind?”

At Sicily’s words, I turned around and saw…

“In front of so many people watching…so awesome, you…”

There was a dumbfounded Mr. Garan, and the members of the mixed force of shepherds and Canaan’s army, who were gawking at us with grins.

“Ah…”

“Ahh… geez…”

Sicily had turned bright red and couldn’t even look up.

I also had a flushed face. I’m sure it was quite red…

“Good grief, leave those tenderlythings for when you return home…”

It was when Mr. Garan had said too much.

“Hmm? What’s that noise?”

“Ex-Excuse me, Mr. Garan! Would you mind shielding me for a moment?”

“Oh, Ohh”

The bell on the wireless communication device rang out in the area.

It was both mine and Sicily’s.

That meant it was an open channel.

Could it be a report from someone?

Sicily and I once again activated the optical camouflage attached to her cloak and answered the incoming call.

“Hello? Who is this?”

“Everyone! It is Mark! Hurry… Hurry up and get back here!”

“Hey, what’s the matter Bean? There is no other damage coming from the devils, is there?”

Because it was an open channel, I could hear the Aug’s voice

“I heard that there was no damage to any of the countries, but it’s not about that!”

Not that.

That means…

“From the old imperial capital! A ridiculous number of disaster-level demons have appeared!!”
