After the banquet, I decided to rest in the same tent as Miralka and Rico, but the large tent for the guests, separated by a curtain, did not make it possible to spend such a sleepy night.

"No... you can't go to bed. How much did you let him drink, Miralka?"

Yes, we can't sleep slowly and have tomorrow morning. We have to leave this village before the sky turns white.

According to my reading, Cody will defeat the Velveteens by dawn. There are several patterns of what the Vincent family will do if the report is passed on to the King's City.

One is to flee King's Landing before it is revealed that he plotted a rebellion.

The other thing is - if you don't expose it, you'll get taka and do a cover-up. It makes no sense because we can't completely erase the evidence of evil while we're capturing Larg and his men.

Finally, the method that the powerful take when they are hunted down. Let someone bear the sin and appear in King's Landing... or... Though I think it is worth spitting on just thinking about, if a man tries to seize the throne, he cannot deny the possibility of not choosing a means.

I can't get drunk and my body feels a little fluffy. As I remember, I put my hand on my stomach and started detoxifying the liquor.

Tiger liquor tastes pretty good, but impurities can get in due to manufacturing problems, and it is easy to get drunk. There are customers who say that the wild flavor is good, so I would definitely like to put the tiger thick sake in the shop.

"... that?

I don't see any sign of Miralka, Rico, who should have slept behind the curtain.

I'm a little worried about 'pathetic misfortune' when I go out at this hour. If you're with Rico, maybe you can show me where you're going.

I decided to leave my tent and follow the magic to make sure Miralka and Rico were safe.

Miralka is particularly magical, so it is easy to leave traces in the places you pass. Looks like Miralka and Rico headed for the woods outside the village.

"This is...."

After entering the forest for a while, the fog came out from the front. This warm, wet feeling and the characteristic smell - what was this?

The white fog is getting thicker and darker in the early morning, and only a few lights are installed, so you can't see the front well. It will be difficult to follow the magic, but I can't help turning back.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The gap between the bamboos is filled with white mist.

"... are you over here? Hey, Miral...."

While summoning, I looked beyond the gap of the bamboo - I finally realized that I was hearing the sound of water and its meaning.

"Phew... I still have to take a bath to calm down. Thanks for showing me around, Rico."

"I wanted to come in too, so I'm glad you came with me! I love masked women ♪"

"... weren't you following him?

"The masked ones are both my benefactors. Someone just as important. Everyone's dislike of human beings has improved a little."

"It's dangerous to forgive your heart so easily. We're the exception."

--Why is Miralka in the bath wearing a mask?

As a matter of fact, what jumped into my vision was a bath shaped by rock - the so-called open-air bath - and Rico was showering his back with Miralka.

Hidden perfectly with hot air, hot air is something that flows - I feel like I saw something I shouldn't see while I'm staring, and there's blood on my head.

(When I used to travel in the Crusaders, it was really nice for the three of us to take a bath... this isn't a peek. I was just late to realize it smelled like hot springs.)

I didn't think Rico, who was supposed to have a good ear, would realize that even though he spoke, he was afraid of his own luck, when heaven would be on his side.

"... hey, does Rico really want to marry him?

"Nyah... uhh, yeah. A man in a mask, a lovely man. Very strong and gentle."

Even if Miralka were to hear such an opinion, she would not be honest.

That's what I thought...

"Fufu... that guy thinks he doesn't notice. He's smart, he doesn't look so bad, and as a man, it's hard to find someone more than him, so I don't even know how Rico feels."

I thought I'd grab my heart, too.

No, when Miralka tells me the truth like this, I have to pretend I don't know, and I know I'm being dishonest.

"I want to know more about him. Are you sure you want to come to the village again?

"Yes, let me visit you. Then you might bring your friends, okay?

"If you're a friend of a masked man, you're welcome! I'm looking forward to it!"

"We're also glad to have more places to visit on holidays. There are a lot of unusual animals around here... and your tail..."

"Ehehe, it tickles. Rico's tail was touched by you before he did. It's a sign of a friend to have a woman touch you."

"Really? So now Rico and I can be friends."

Miralka touches the moffy part of Rico's tail. Rico began to wash Miralka's body even more politely as a thank you.

I leave the bamboo blindfold partition and return to my tent. I had nothing to worry about, and if I found out that I was watching, I wouldn't be afraid of the aftermath.

"... one of the masked men came to the other side of the partition. Rico, did you see that?

"Eh... well, why don't you tell me? I wonder where it came from... and in some cases it was destroyed..."

"Well, it's not that close. Unlike human ears and Tiger tribes, I can't hear you at this distance."

"That's right... that's fine. If they ask me, I have to think about how to act....."

"Will you marry the masked man with me? You are the first, Rico the second ♪"

"... really honest, you. I don't feel angry anymore."

Miralka has become unimaginably friendly in the old days.

Miralka, who didn't attract others as easily as she used to, sometimes thought it would be cool to stick to the policy, but now the soft atmosphere is even more attractive.

But for me, the Demon King Crusaders must not be aware of the relationship between men and women.

Even if you see Miralka and get up, and you use the "Healing Light" on yourself.

◆ ◇ ◆

And before dawn, we rode the Fire Dragon back to King's Landing.

Miralka was completely used to riding me on her back and enjoying the view from the sky - but...

"... hmm? Something's coming from King's Landing. That's Miralka's...."

"Fairy bird... you came because you asked me to let you know if there were any moves. Charlotte, what happened?

Fairy Bird stops on Miralka's shoulders. It has a beautiful figure that matches the cute name - its feathers are sapphire-like colors, gradient enough to go to the tip of the wings to entertain the eyes of the viewer.

Fairy Bird is integrated with the surrounding landscape and has the ability to completely erase signs. Miralka was discretionary, scouting separately from my guild members.

At Miralka's ear, the fairy bird rings when it goes round. Professor Miralka is able to speak the language of animals - at present, the study of animal language may be more famous than his achievements as a professor in the Department of Attack Magic I.

"Dick, the former Duke of Zebias is trying to do what he did to his men… dress Kirsch and cut them off. They'll be executed."

There's no anger or anything. Through it, my chest was just quiet.

I thought it might happen. I can get the guild guys on the move, but I'm already over King's Landing.

"... what happened to Jean?

"He's trying to escape King's Landing. Separation from my father... I'll take him in. I need you to turn over the backup guild member later. If we catch him, he'll have to be brought to justice."

It was Miralka who took off his mask after riding the Fire Dragon, but he wore it again. Those eyes have a strong will to burn.

She won't have a problem with Jean. Send the backup guild as directed - and what will I do?

Zebias Vinsburg. A man who gave up the throne of the Duke to his son and kept leaping to steal this country.

That ambition is completely lost to me. The people of King's Landing must continue to enjoy peace without knowing anything.

"... 'Forgotten Dick'. Let the Zebians regret not knowing it existed."

"I don't mind being forgotten. What I'm about to do is not a big deal."

I can wear a mask like Miralka. Moving the Alliance Master himself runs counter to my doctrine of being a counselor... but...

While I was watching my fellow Demon King Crusaders who became the 'Masked Saviors', I remembered that I was traveling with them to defeat the Demon King.

Just be discreet. But I was watching the party so that I would never lose.

I wasn't just staring at my people calmly.

Cody, Miralka, Eileen, Yuma. I yearned not less for the four flowers, and took my breasts off the battle. I was proud to be one of them, and I was happy to be at the same party.

"When it's all over, how will you work for us first? The masked butler."

"Have fun. I'll treat you to the full course of Silver Bottle Pavilion, young lady."

The house of Vinsburg was already visible ahead, giving the Fire Dragon a hidden pomegranate and descending sharply towards the northwestern part of the King's capital.
