This is a mountain range in the middle of the Banome continent.

Mountains are spreading and mountain skin has no grass.

And a country founded in the face of the mountain, as if it had cut off the foothills (foothills).

- That is the Darmskale Empire.

Facing the mountain range, an oval barrier is built to draw a semi-circle, with countless columns and bridges over it made even more identical to the barrier on the inside.

In other words, they are protected by double walls: walls and columns.

And a dim town that spreads directly beneath the fence.

Dirty people.

Alley with all sorts of dirt rolling and odours.

He who walks flirtatiously with a liquor bottle in one hand.

He who leads to a flowerless flowerbed, pipes, and drinks.

The sun does not shine here.

And if you go straight down the curved alley, the long, bright white staircase that seems to run to heaven appears there.

Its large staircase, flanked by opposite walls, leads to the royal castle where the king lives.

And in the castle.

- This is the throne room.

There was the figure of Emperor Uranos Darmskail.

"My son Raj..."

"Yes, Father"

Emperor lowering his back to the throne with a glass of wine in one hand.

I have Large Darmskale in front of me.

His first name is Raj Cotts.

Luxuriously decorated ceilings, walls, windows…

And on both sides of the room, only a few of the pillars stand guards.

Those who wore red robes and hid their faces.

"You said one eye was red for that nitwit, right?

"Yes… I saw… his eyes were red… glowing"

Raj spoke that way, remembering and frightened.

"Scared?

"... Yes"

Large to give me a beat and talk to.

"... right"

"I can't beat him."

"Hmm, I see... cleanliness is important. I'm not going to leave everything to you. If you can't, to the other two, and if you still can't, then you'll end up with me... that's all."

"But Father! That one is heterogeneous! Without feeling the magic, life is like a thing..."

Raj spoke with trembling, and guided his father through himself.

Nito treated life like a thing.

But that's the same thing with Large.

The only difference is that Raj enjoys killing after admitting his life as life.

In other words, against Nito at that point, Raj learned the feeling that he regarded what was meant by life as a 'thing', in a true sense.

"Hmmm... I don't know until I actually see it"

At that time, the main entrance to the hall opened in a luxurious manner.

"Long time no see, Father! You Jade Guguez! You destroyed the extreme cold capital of Modhern and are now back!

A man with short haired green head on two blocks, who showed up there with a stupid big voice.

- Jade Darmskale.

It's one of the Kings Shields that protects the Emperor.

"Well done, I'm back! My son Jade!

Jade greets his nostalgic father lightly.

And I saw a lage kneeling beside me.

"It's been a long time since Raj's been here, too, huh? How have you been?

"Jade! It's in front of your father! What's that attitude?!?

Jade is a three man.

And Raj is the second son.

"Hmm? That's not good, is it? Does that mean we're out of family water?

Both Large and Uranos were stunned by the way it looked.

"Jade... you haven't changed, have you?

"Ha-ha-ha! I'm me!

Uranos held his head.

"Ha... you were the third born child, but you spoiled it a little too much..."

Jade laughed alongside such a father's hardship.

But Raj also brings a natural smile back to that nostalgic conversation.

"Twenty years is short."

"Right......... isn't that the first time in 20 years?

- 20 years.

Raj and Jade were only 12 years old, served the country as spies, and 20 years later, destroyed the country.

- As planned.

"By the way, what happened to your brother? I can't see him..."

"Ah, he hasn't. I'll have him stay in that country for a while."

Then the two look a little lonely.

"Well... can't I see my brother up there yet"

"I'll see you soon. Thanks to the work of your lords, the world is headed towards war, albeit little by little. He's scheduled to return here at the same time as the war. Until then, patience."

"Well...... shaggy. And I'm not loyal or thoughtful. It's surprisingly hard to serve your country, Father? My brother must be bored, too.

"Ha-ha-ha... but I can't help it. All of this, too, for our ambitions. It's what it takes to lure him in and kill him."

At that time, the main door opened again.

And there, a big “lion” appeared.

"Your Majesty! Ivan is back!

- It's Gazelle Crown.

Soon after, the gentle grin that was directed at Raj and Jade disappeared from the Emperor's face.

"Gather the captains in the country and bring Ivan here. Listen to me."

The expression already belongs to the Emperor, not to Uranos.

Uranos read from Gazelle's expression that there was some problem with how Ivan was returning.

"Ha!"

Then Gazelle gives a bow of grace, after the occasion.

"What the fuck is Ivan?

Jade asks.

"Oh, you did..."

Then Uranos becomes his father's face again.

And I started talking with a bitter look on my face.

"The plan is fine. But things got a little rough. An adventurer named Nito came out of the way when he attacked Razhausen. Then I sent Large to the murder, but this is it."

"I'm sorry... but I couldn't do it"

Jade listened to Raj's weak voice in silence.

And I heard the story, and for the first time since I came here, I had a harsh look on my face.

"Defeat to the Empire is unacceptable. Then I decided to go after Nito's people. Retaliation. We needed to let him and the world know that if we could just get our hands on him, we wouldn't be sorry."

"I got the story. So you sent that Ivan in, huh?

"That's right. Two sent as assassins."

"One dead... what the hell is that?

"It would have as much information in it, wouldn't it?

"Adventurer Nito... Was it? But that's all. Other than that, I don't have any information about him, what do you mean?

"I don't know, that's why I let him go."

Then the main door opened again, where several knights appeared.

And in the middle, there was the figure of Ivan with no arms.

As soon as he saw that appearance, Raj shuddered as he remembered his fears and turned away.

Jade narrowed his eyes and watched how it looked.

Uranos remains unusual and precarious.

And each aligns.

"Well done, back, Ivan!

"Yes... Your Majesty, I'm... back"

I can tell by the tone.

I'm not in a decent mental state.

But the emperor Uranos does not hesitate to ask.

"What happened to that arm?

"He... took it away"

Ivan replied shaking.

And for some reason, I don't try to keep an eye on the emperor.

But there's no reason.

Because it's a step ahead of the spirit breakdown.

Uranos, concerned about how it was going,

"What's up? Why are you scared? He's not here, is he? Don't worry."

"Wow... I..."

"What happened to Cromuel?

"Ko... killed... by him"

I heard that. The look on Uranos's face clouds.

"Ooh! Oh, my God! Yes!

Then Ivan suddenly threw up blood.

The doctor who was around him sat him in the chair, mopping Ivan's back.

"So, how'd it go? Did you kill his people?

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry. Not one..."

"Right..."

Ivan and Kromuel, like Gido Sido and Gazelle Crown, are in the same corps.

So what is the captain?

By analogy, Razhausen has a knighthood called the White King Knight.

And the leader of the regiment is Reinhardt Rickman.

This would mean that there are a number of Reinhardt-class commanders here.

And even its captain, the adventurer Nito had no teeth.

"Cromuel was played...... killed"

The captains who heard about it were all incredible.

"That ~... what exactly did they do when they played??

Inquired in a strange tone was the head of the regiment, Bits Catrella.

A sheep beast man who sits on a floating ball and moves fluffy.

Around the neck and white moffy hair covering the head. And a short corner that you can see in your head.

And it features these sleepy eyes.

"Oh, that's... Uh-huh. Yep!

As soon as Bits inquired, Ivan threw up again.

"Oh, I'm sorry. That was something you didn't really want to remember, was it?

The emperor held his head.

"Father! I'll go!

That said, Jade had a different tone than earlier.

Jade defied his odd appearance and made an emperor of his father.

―――――

But the emperor does not answer immediately.

"I'll take the enemy!

"You can't do it in the Lord. Probably in return."

Jade's nose picks on the words.

I could see a slight irritation there.

But that can't be done.

Jade doesn't know a man named 'Adventurer Nito'.

"So what are you going to do? Even Raj, the" shield of kings, "has no teeth. Our king's shield is even better than his regiment... if it still doesn't work, what are you going to do next?

The Emperor cannot answer Jade's sober question.

That, too, should have no answers.

So the emperor's going out on his own?

There is no such stupid story.

That is the disgrace.

Nothing happened to the face of the Empire either.

"Ghaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

- At that time, Ivan, who was supposed to be an adult, suddenly became bored and began to suffer.

"What's up!?

Gazelle rushes over and suppresses the rambling Ivan.

The doctors are trying to calm down, hoping it's a mild seizure, with a wave of unsure magic on Ivan.

"Ugh...... my arm ahhh!...... my arm ahhhhhhh!

Ivan with a bright blue look, scattering whoever.

She was complaining "my arm hurts".

"Ahhhhhhh!

"Hold on! Ivan!"

The captains around them desperately contain the rambling Ivan.

"Ahhhh! Come on! He's coming in!

At that moment, a red and black magic formation appeared at Ivan's feet.

"Get away from me. Oh!

The captains, who noticed it, lowered in unison.

Then Ivan's body glows red and black.

Jade was wary that way.

Raj is frightened.

He said, "Oh, come in. Yeah, yeah!

At the next moment, it instantly disappeared so that the red and black magic formations and waves could be sucked into Ivan.

"Gaha!......"

At the same time, Ivan's screaming stopped.

――――――

Ivan is not even picky.

"I...... Ivan?... Are you okay?

Gazelle spoke up.

But no reply.

Then Ivan showed movement and slowly raised his face.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

That's when Large screamed.

Then he was stunned and retreated into the shadows of the pillars.

- Red one-eyed.

Ivan's left eye is glowing red.

"I see... is this the Empire"

At that time, another voice, unlike Ivan's earlier voice, came from Ivan's mouth.

Everyone was confused and alarmed by the way it was.

And everyone was perplexed and thought about what the hell had happened, and asked for answers to how Ivan was doing.

Then Ivan checked the perimeter.

"Are you the emperor?

Then Uranos narrowed his eyes and looked at Ivan.

Those around them are still confused.

But the emperor Uranos was different.

"You... aren't Ivan, are you?

"Phew... well, you're the emperor of the empire. You've come all the way out here because you've been pointing it over and over again?

"What?

'Huh... don't you see?

At that time, Uranos did not put it on his expression, but was surprised as if he had, and realized.

"No way... you..."

"Nice to meet you, Emperor of the Empire."

And “Ivan” thanked him and laughed niggly.

"- My name is Nito. You missed me, didn't you? Emperor."
