As the pawn of the warrior projected on the playboard proceeded seven squares, a letter emerged there.

"Um, what? My childhood lover is banished from the party after being bedridden by a brave man. Get the Legendary Axe on the Spring of Repentance...... something oddly vivid?

"Atashi, right now, my wife and child have been killed by demons, and I'm on a journey to revenge. I'm set to be a wise man and a spear man."

Weirdly vivid, surrounding a playboard serving heavy settings, Riesha and Chelsea point their gaze in the same direction as Chirali. It coincided with what coincidence Sophie, Tio and Mira pointed their gaze in the same direction.

We exchanged girls from outside the city today and it was supposed to be a fun and fun day.

At the end of the gaze of those far-eyed Sophies, Hilda reached for the roulette in the center of the board, desperately enduring to arouse her face with a red face mixed with anger, humiliation, shame, and more in tears.

Maybe that hand is pulling shivers out of an indignation that is hard to describe and helpless. The number shown by the roulette turned with such a hand is three. As the magician's illusion projected on the playboard advanced by three squares, the letters surfaced on that squares.

"…… Bandits attack us and rob us of equipment and gold coins. Fifteen pieces of gold and if equipped I will pay one for it....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I know perfectly well that the illusion of the newly projected bandits makes a meticulous construction as they strip Hilda's comma, the sorcerer, but it's not if you admire it, but rather it's completely behind it as it stands.

Hilda waves her fists small up and down in both hands. If it's true, I guess he just wants to punch the floor and playboard, but he's more patient than a kid his age just not doing that.

Of the six gold coin holdings written on paper, only Hilda's share is already minus eighty four. It is a debt that passes through poverty and is no longer repayable.

"Ko, noble, I owe you and so on...! Impossible, Impossible Wow......!

"Gee, because it's a game! Because it's just a game!?

The demonic girl, who would probably be noble, is going to cry completely. However, whether the Goddess of Fortune is quite mean or dislikes Hilda again, this situation is not something that has just begun.

This adventurous life game, luck is supposed to be a big part of the game in the first place, but somehow all of Hilda will be miserable from the start. Even though the other five have almost even tasted luck and bad luck.

It is natural that the numbers that come out in roulette are small, and the masses that arrive are all the masses that cause damage. Even if there is a mass that sometimes moisturizes your nostrils, the more tears you scratch, the more damage you do.

So none of the actual feelings of working positive equals none.

"Hmm... let's go this way"

Seeing her like that and trying to move to entertainment first is Tio, who has a strange big-time feeling for the lowest height in this. I was trying to buy time to accomplish my purpose in an effort to alleviate the air heavier under the influence of pitiful Hilda, even though I was playing -

"…… Gu. Well, that split should go the other way......?

"…… That's right. Thanks."

"Thank you...! It is the mission of the noble to give it down…!

Even though Hilda is the one who needs to be treated no matter what he thinks in this setting right now, for some reason, the beginning and end of advising him in the middle of a battle. Apparently, he wants to defeat the opponent's full power head-on.

And in the end, the bottom line of this game is the indicative Hilda. It was also an overwhelming defeat that made a huge difference from fifth place, and tears are going to fall from my big eyes.

"It's time to get tired of it and do something else! Mostly there's no luck involved or anything!

"Oh, that's good! If you look, you'll find something! Mostly the one with no luck involved or anything!

"Mmmm...!"

This is a game of luck. It's a gateway. So intuitive they suggest other plays, but the Hilda of the day meditates tears eyes, shaking her neck left and right.

Apparently, he doesn't want to give up until he wins. That attitude would be honorable if it were meant to be, but it would not be something to be demonstrated at this time.

This has been caught by a guy with a nasty personality, this is the end of a failed entertainment play... and the Sophies became feathers of knowing as soon as possible the feelings of the adults who failed to flatter their bosses.

The reception room at the orphanage where they are. Shirley urged Shirley to get down to business after taking a peek at her daughters (actually entangled in a troublesome child) who were interested in playing without knowing anything.

"As the Lord knows, Siegfried is my descendant, the Alliance of the Demon King. This time he came to this city as an escort to his daughter, Grimhilda."

Canary is a demonic tribe over a thousand years old and has a large number of descendants. However, as can be seen from the human being, Yumina, or from the S-rank adventurer, Grania, the Fantasy Butterfly, whose descendants incorporate a wide variety of blood everywhere, he said, and whose descendants preserve the blood of pure demons are no longer only the clan of the Sovereign Patriarchs of the Devil Nation.

"Why is the princess of the Devil's Kingdom in the kingdom? It also came to such a border………………"

"The Summer Solstice Festival is about to start, right? Every year, a large number of nobles gather from countries other than the Empire, but this year's demon kingdom is represented by Grimhilda."

The Kingdom's summer tradition, the Summer Solstice Festival, is a festival that prays for the fruits of autumn to the goddess of the sky. Although festivals with their own characteristics are held throughout the kingdom, the Wangdu Summer Solstice Festival, which precedes other cities, is held every year by inviting guests from all countries except the Empire because nobility and government are involved in the operation.

"Well, Princess Philia hasn't been able to keep up with me for the past few years. I'm still staying at the Imperial Castle for that reason."

"…… Was it?"

I think of the only girl in the empire who reminds me of how I miss her.

"The Summer Solstice Festival in Wangdu invites bishops and others from the Holy Land to hold ceremonies, so as a concubine, it is often better to enjoy the Summer Solstice Festival in rural towns... leave that aside now, the real deal is this."

What Canary took out of his pocket was a single card. Pinch that with two fingers and throw it at Shirley, who also takes it with two fingers.

"The night Grimhilda arrived at the Royal Castle, it was delivered to Edward's desk."

This is what was written on the card with a glossy text on the edge.

"In full moon and night heaven, the day before the Summer Solstice Festival, I come to receive the treasured princess of the Demon King. Thief Crowley '

The same goes for the text, but above all Shirley glances at the sender's name.

"The Thief, Crowley Arsene............!

It was the name of five semiimmortals (Immortals), said to be the most famous on the continent, just like Shirley and Canaries.

Bold enough to bother giving a notice. Any kind of security passes by. Appearing deaf. Strange enough to dive through every security demon prop. There are only a few who hold the position of Bandit Lineage, and there is no such thing as Crowley, which bears the name of "Thief".

The oldest burglar in existence who has been active for roughly three hundred years, but he had a characteristic side.

"You had a stronger impression of being a kidnapper than a bandit."

"Mm-hmm. My concubine doesn't even know what I'm thinking, but for some reason, I'm going after all the girls."

Sometimes they simply steal treasure balls, paintings of historical value, and statues, but most of all frequently they steal only from girls under the age of twelve.

Stealing no longer has a story to say, and you should say grab it. Victims have nothing in common except age and gender, and the motive for the crime is unknown.

And most inexplicably, the kidnapped girl is returned to her parents at the same time as she celebrates her thirteenth birthday. The girl is also losing most of her memory while she was being kidnapped, either by witchcraft or by incapacity, so no information is available.

"And that the kidnapper's hand was finally directed at the princess?"

"Even in front of his concubine, he can run away. When I saw it in a similar situation before, I repelled it, but this time, I got an arithmetic that I could do it."

"That is…… muscled."

It would be impossible for a skilled magician to escape from a canary that specializes in space magic.

"It's just... I don't know how I feel about the Thief. Have we met somewhere else besides when we were relative before?

"Is that so?

"Well, maybe it's my fault... Forget that. So this time I'm going to rely on your Lord's powers. If that demonic eye sees the universe, we can break through his palliative craftsmanship."

"... I'd like you to refrain from excessive trust, but I understand why you called me out."

The point is, I want Grimhilda protected from the demon hands of the Thief. … but.

"The key story is missing, isn't it? Where did you go to talk about making summer memories?

From Shirley's point of view, what we've talked about so far doesn't matter ultimately. Here's the real deal.

"Actually, the concubine wanted to breathe a new breeze into the Summer Solstice Festival. In short, it's an addition to the eyeball event."

That's the one picture I gave you. There was a spark that could play like a large ring of flowers in what seemed like a dark night sky.

"This?

"It's called entertainment, fireworks, newly developed by the concubine. It's an improved bomb, and by mixing metal powder with gunpowder, it's a substitute for blooming a colorful giant spark in the night sky that shines brightly when it bursts. I can't convey any real emotion because it's a photo, but if I can watch this raw, it's well received by everyone. I've had enough heartbeats from all sides to celebrate the Summer Solstice Festival."

Canary sneers and whispers in Shirley's ear with an evil smile.

"Friends, lovers, companions… and family together, you can be sure to be deeply engraved in your memory as the best memories with this intense impact."

Pickle and Shirley's body shake.

"In total, I'm going to launch you into the night sky for about 70,000 rounds in a row, so it's not going to end in an instant. If you take your daughters, it is the earliest certainty that your fondness for the Lord will be exceeded."

Pickle, Pickle and Shirley's body shake.

"But if Grimhilda is caught by a" thief, "things will go away from fireworks. Oh, there's no such thing as a swordsman that protects the princess from some disgraceful thief?

Canary makes the requisition look like a leech. At the same time, Shirley snapped the request to make sure there was nothing strange about its contents.

"That's why I'm going to face one of my clients, the Demon King. Anything, you want to see the face of the person you entrust your daughter to."

"Yeah, I kind of had a feeling about that."

"Instead, it's not Mr. Shirley who doesn't move there, is it? That's what I suspect is disguised as" The Thief. "

Time is back and present. When the three Coods heard what was going on, they gave a face that was heartily convinced. As always, if it comes to Sophie and Tio, they seem to be rolling over Canary's palm, but that's Shirley.

"At first, there seemed to be a plan to go back to the demon kingdom and spend some time in strict security, but if the opponent could slip through any kind of security, it would be better to spill tons of dummy information and stir it up."

"But why are we the ones who take such an important request together? It's not that I don't like it, it's more of an honor, but if you're an adventurer who protects the princess together, you'll have something else to do, and you don't have to bother to speak up to us at the E-rank."

Kyle's doubts are particularly true. Needless to say, higher-ranked adventurers are better suited, and in a situation where even Dragon King Siegfried is present, there is no problem with Shirley traveling from the Alliance alone.

"... there are several reasons, one of which is not to stress the princess, who is the subject of the escort, as much as possible. His Majesty the Demon King has told you to take care that Princess Grimhilda can enjoy the Kingdom's Summer Solstice Festival whenever possible."

"Ahhh... sure. If a very elderly big man were close by, he wouldn't be easy to relax."

Highest adventurer...... or many older people have the strength to hide within the B rank. And most of them have an intimidating appearance. I'm not that familiar with it. Even though the guys are for escorts, being close to four or six all the time would stress the girls of their age.

"Wherever possible, I was young, I was used to my children's opponents, and you were the only adventurers I could speak to. My daughter will accompany you, so as not to put undue stress on both of you."

"Huh!? Sophie and Tio have!?

Shirley has often forgiven me for going too far with my daughter, but there are circumstances.

"What do you call it, the princess and my daughters, who had no friends in the kingdom, seemed to get along well before they knew it. I heard that the two of them were feeling lonely, and they found out from the princess's mouth about each other this time, that they wanted to be together until they returned home..."

"? Why are you so toothless?"

To be precise, it is Canary's saying that the princess has no friends in the kingdom but also in the demonic kingdom. The Demon King is apparently quite overprotective, a thoroughbred who doesn't even inadvertently let his children near him as adults.

For a princess like that, Sophie and I were friends for the first time. When I heard that, Shirley the boulder also became just a little sympathetic, and I lied and cried and chased while Canary managed to say, "How pitiful, such as being ruthlessly separated from my first friend," and Sophie and Tio stabbed the stop at the top of their minds to stop it, and Shirley's will suddenly broke to hehe.

"Well, two ghost birds (Beryl and Rubeus) will also join the escort, and I couldn't think of leaving my daughter for a long time, so it would be convenient to say so."

"Ah, the week leading up to the Wangdu Summer Solstice Festival is in the long term category. So, what's the other reason?

"Simply put, because you wanted to gather as many qualified people as you could to increase the number. Because they're half immortals who can't see the bottom."

…… To tell the truth, except for Asterios, who encourages the development of other parties, this is the limit for Shirley's connections. I'm afraid to rely on canaries later.

Don't say that, Shirley coughs up Cohon and looks to the young adventurers.

"The reward is a gold coin bag. Increase or decrease depending on the result of the request, do you take it? Would you like to take it?

Kyle and the others look at each other. The other day, I just failed by the appearance of a large demon who suddenly appeared asking for a goblin exorcism, and it's a truly savory story that the princess's escort is to be regained honor and restored to her stigma.

And most importantly, we can't leave the Shirley thing alone that we're going to ask for no matter what we answer.

This time it's unusual, so Sophie and Tio will follow us, and we'll need someone who can calmly respond when something happens, albeit immaturely.

That's why Kyle and I took part in the request................ but later they will regret that choice only a little.
