As the myth of the founding of the "Principality of Artemina" suggests, the heroic balls of the First Prince, Queen Hikari, and the Cat Sub were buddies of strong trust.

They say the two heroes are still very popular.

Sometimes, in the "Principality of Artemina", it seems that subpopulations were very important and allowed to create villages only for subpopulations.

And the village of "Buddy Village" and the Artemina royal family, which were created by the Moonlight brave Tama, have interacted for generations.

Even in the history since the founding of the country, it seems that Buddy was sometimes born with a strong bond and contributed to the development of the country.

But now, it seems that the subpopulation is being persecuted.

I once again asked why the subhuman was persecuted.

According to Sally, it's been about six months since she was persecuted.

In the last six months, however, most of the sub-villages have been devastated.

At first, Buddy Village, which was the central village in the subhuman village, was destroyed by the attack of demons and monsters.

Afterwards, subhuman villages everywhere were destroyed by monster raids.

Those who managed to survive were captured by slavers and taken by soldiers from the Principality.

The parents and children of the werewolves who were protected by winning the bid in the "Dark Auction" said the same thing.

Beo, his father, said that the slavers had captured him when the village was attacked by monsters and managed to survive.

Instead of saving monsters and slavers, the Principality is taking people who have fled in search of help with difficulty.

The reason why subhumans were suddenly persecuted is still unclear.

I can only think of the fact that I am alert to the superior athletic ability of subhumans, or that I am alert to the emergence of brave men from among subhumans, as in the myth of founding a nation.

In the "Principality of Artemina", after the coup d 'état seven years ago, the new king has been engaged in terrible politics, and while the lives of the people have become difficult, they are now in a state of oppression.

Because of this situation, there seems to be something like valiant aspiration spreading among people.

It seems that more and more people are hoping that brave men will show up and save people from oppression.

That might be driving subhuman persecution, Sally said.

Well, the definite reason for persecution is that we don't know.

Given the active demonic movement, perhaps this persecution is also influenced by the demon.

Resistance organizations seem to be saving persecuted subpopulations and protecting others from persecution in other countries.

I would also like to ask you a few questions about this resistance organization.

"What is the name of the Resistance Organization?If you don't mind, could you tell us a little more about your organization's leaders and activities? "

I asked Sally and the others.

"Yes, the name of the organization is... 'Moon Light'.The leader... I can't really reveal it... because I'm Mr. Grimm.Heart Riel is a former adventurer.Members are mainly former adventurers and former Principality soldiers.A handful of elite organizations with the ability to fight.As an underground organization, it has been active for several years, but according to the severity of the Principality's oppression here, it is also active.Please keep this organization and its members confidential. "

Sally lowered her head to me with that.

The neighbor Jane lowered his head.

And Ice Stills, a former adventurer companion I met for the first time today, looked impatient for a moment.

That's probably because... Sally told me the name of the leader of the organization.

I couldn't either, but Sari-san trusted me and told me.

And the name Heart Riel sounds familiar to me...

I'm desperately following my memory...

... is that... maybe...?

"Um... that leader, Hartliel... is he the Vice President of the Adventurer Alliance?"

When I asked, Sally, Jane, and Ice Stills reacted surprisingly.

"How do you know that!?"

Sally asks me with an unbelievable look.

"Was it? He's an ex-adventurer... but he was an attacker in the Labyrinth City of the Kouroud Kingdom more than a decade ago."

"Ha, yes... I've heard that story before..."

"I recently got to know someone who was a fellow attacker at that time and became a fellow.I'm supposed to get help with the Fairy Chamber of Commerce. "

I am referring to Ocarina, a former "Thief Irjime" and "Acquired Awakening Reincarnated."

"Eh...."

Surprisingly, Sally and the others have solidified.

"Ocarina and I went to the village of Bruur, a member of the 'Cobolt' clan, who was one of the attackers.That's when the guild came and told me that Hartliel had asked me for a sword. "

I explained that to you.

"That's right...."

Sally still seems surprised.

"That's Mr. Grimm... I can't believe there was such a connection... I already feel like destiny."

Jane said with a feeling of abandonment.

I feel like I'm laughing in surprise.

"Speaking of which... I think Hart Riel said that he asked his old buddies for Shuki-san's sword..."

That's what Ms. Istil said, rubbing her cheeks.

After all, it doesn't seem to be a surprise for the development.

Of course, I'm surprised, too.

I don't think Ocarina's ex-combatants are the leaders of the Resistance.

But when I think calmly... I'm with Okarina-san, who was a thief... maybe an ant...

"Sure... the Shuki-san is a demon.Mr. Ocarina and Mr. Bruhl wanted to meet, saying that they should probably be with him.Mr. Bruhl is going to the Principality of Artemina with us.We're going to meet today or tomorrow. "

"I see...."

"I'm sure Hartliel will be delighted."

"Shuki-san will be delighted, I'm sure."

Sally, Jane, and Ice Stills said with a smile as they regained calm.
