"Move! Move! Make way for whatever you want!!"

The roar resounded in an unpopular royal castle.

Yes, it's not popular except on our side.

Some of them were signs of the remains of people who didn't want to feel alive.

──────

Kick it off!

Even though it was bigger than a regular house, the sounds of soldiers and magical chants echoed in the narrow aisles of the Imperial Castle to fight in the corps.

They are against enemies that further strengthen the skeletons they saw when fighting dragon zombies, or moving corpses that would have been soldiers in this castle.

Some people can call it wandering armor or living armor, and some people don't know how to command it.

Consistent is that none of them feel energetic.

"Grrrr!"

"Don't be frightened! Push me down!"

The vanguard that collided with the monsters became a lifeless enemy.

The enemy looked at least as good as the monsters I had fought in the woods before and the soldiers made of the magic of dragon zombies.

As far as I know, it's inferior to Viola, but stronger than Ginula.At least, I'm not at a level where I can properly fight in the front.

The opposing soldiers seemed to be elite, but since they were standing around as unharmed as possible, they were somewhat defensive when they bumped into enemies who were standing around fearing for their lives.

Maybe the opponent knew how to fight or was a monster to learn.If it's a Hermes, it's not strange that it's made that way.

One-sided battles are not what he calls "funny" battles.

"............"

A voice that seemed to rustle my teeth leaked from nearby.

We---me, Swe, Viola, and Rosemary, a few of the watchdog and escort soldiers, don't take part in the battle as usual, just watching them fight.

The first battle is over.

It's a battle to break down the walls you once defended.

Mercenaries such as adventurers were the main focus, and the invasion operation, which was carried out under carefully prepared operations, was successful without causing great damage.

Originally, it collapsed the fragile part of the city walls, making it a temporary entrance.

There are fewer sentries there, and it takes time for enemies to rush in when they notice anomalies.

Therefore, the entry itself was smooth.

But that was for a while.

The Demon King Hermes was not actively building a castle, but if he destroyed a wall, he would send a [pawn].

That's why the rest of you are now desperately fighting to keep us from getting out of here.

That's why our elite troops are in a hurry.

One minute and a second earlier, I headed to the Hermes waiting for me.

The more time you take, the less advantageous it is for a person to know tiredness.

There is a loss of life in one second.

So their morale is high as they try to move on to the foolish.It's about as bad as it sounds in the middle of the night.

Number three! Magic, yes!

Roger that!

Jelius, who commanded about thirty of the elite troops, shouted, and the wizard belonging to the army unleashed a magic that ended the chanting.

Based on the magical signs and the order number, the soldiers who were directly dealing with the invisible monsters fell back.

I sewed the gap down, and the magic of the blowing wind slashed through my enemies.

The monsters that had the Imperial Castle as their base were strong, but it was a brilliant way to win.

"Let's keep moving without breaking the line!" The enemy is close! "

Oh!

While this is an inrush operation, I will not suppress my voice.

Besides, if you make such a flashy advance, you'll know that even if you do, Hermes won't escape.

It is mainly for those reasons that we are actively speaking out to boost our morale.

I grab the grip of a hip gun quietly, as their morale stirs me up.

The heavy, cold lumps were there as usual.

There was certainly a power there to fight in this world that didn't look like a bartender.

Then, there were multiple engagements.

Fortunately, there were no casualties, but there were many casualties.

However, I didn't feel demoralized by the light wounds, but I even got the illusion that it was getting stronger.

They don't carry the same thing as me.

Being an elite force means that you have a firm sense of fighting for your country.

It's hard to imagine a situation where they're attacking a castle they're supposed to defend.

They swapped their anger for strength and came this far.

"Are you ready?"

Jelius, who was in charge of the whole thing, asked me in front of the big door.

I don't remember seeing the door itself, but I do recognize it.

It's the same design that was used during the summary trial, when he was taken to the verge of being sentenced to death.

A majestic design that is ashamed of the name Elb Absant Kingdom ─ ─ perhaps a figurine of a locust, is the last wall separating us from Hermes.

He's up ahead.

If we go forward, we will fight.

There was no turning back.

…………

Take a deep breath to desperately suppress your nervous heart.

From here on out, it's my turn.

Until now, it's my turn to pay back the debt you brought me unharmed.

If I fail, we're all done.

I can only pray that we can take away the gun designs from the rest of the world.

On the verge of life or death.A door that leads to both hell and heaven.

Once, the pressure of Hermes, who tried to kill himself, and the figure of Trace, who sheltered her, suddenly appeared to me, and I was about to lose my strength.

“Total”

At such an exquisite time, Sweet touched my shoulder softly.

The hand is warm.

I shake her hand and notice that my hand is cold.

It must be a cold sweat of tension.

When I think about it, I feel a little relaxed.

This is what I used to look like when I first served my customers my own cocktails.

Rather, I even felt a lot more nervous at the time.

So, it's okay. It doesn't change what you do.

For now, I've never had a cocktail with Hermes.

So all you have to do is hit your first customer with a cocktail of sincerity.

Yes, this is a bartender's job, and I'm just a bartender.

If you're working with a sense of danger to your life, you've crossed the line as many times as you can.

“Thank you, I'm fine”

Releasing my hand, I replied to Jelius.

The switch in my head has already been switched.

The preparations are already finished.

The steps leading up to completion have been simulated.

There is not enough practice, but it will be covered by the experience so far.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Well then, let's go!

"Oh!!"

Many voices pushed her back, and Jelius opened the door.

There was no overflow of enemies from the inside, and there was one person in the middle between the sightings.

A familiar gray-haired child laughs gracefully with her legs crossed.

"Hey, everybody. Welcome to my castle."

That said, Hermes laughed,

Immediately after that, he recognized me and made a slightly surprising face.
